When Jay said to leave it to him, you didn't think the plan entailed driving Misfortune's Keep into LAND. "Come about, mateys!" Jay commanded from the helm, steering with the djinn's sword in the air as if he was born to be a pirate.

"This is the moment of truth," Zane said from one of the cannons, readying his aim.

'No, this is the moment of stupidity.' Your nails indented into the wood you were clutching for dear life. Jay's steering was far from being that of a captain out at sea. Operating a hybrid between a plane and an airship was difficult to get accustomed to so quickly.

"Incoming at 3 o'clock!" Kai yelled at Jay, who steered the ship a tad to the left. There were at least three jets, their shots lousy. Boom! Now two. Waking up right after the beating they received was sure to make them uncoordinated.

'We should've just ended them in their sleep.' You thickly swallowed at the dark thought. And yet you couldn't help it. They were all going to die. Die for someone that no longer had use for them. Pawns that no one cared if they were killed...

You knew that well. Until he took you up, and made you rise like hell by him. Ironically, part of you wished Morro threw you to the sea instead.

If this djinn was half the king he claimed to be, he would have come on this ship himself and fight. And yet he didn't. He was nowhere to be seen, nowhere near to witness the last of his men.

"Keep them busy till we're at the temple." Cole allowed bullets from those jets to rain through him as he shot his cannon, plumes of smoke following an explosion.

'Where's the last one?' You looked around. Except below– "Below us!" Bullets tore the ship from below, missing each of their targets. Shrapnel scathed Zane, easily repairable compared to flesh.

"Got it! And dive!" Jay drove the tip of the ship downward, plunging towards that piece of land, letting Zane shoot the jet now above. "Hold! Look there!" He ducked under the line of fire from the pirates. "Hold! Hold the line!" You see what he wanted to crash into now with the massive swerve to the left he did. "Hold on!" You held tighter, not that you had much of a choice, the ship was heading into a tower full of Nadakhan's last pirates. Debris and wooden splinters, chipped stone and dust went off in all directions, the ship bursting into the destruction. Misfortune's Keep didn't stop at the tower. She crashed and planted herself into the ground ahead, never flying again.

'Fuck- ow.' You eased yourself out from the rough landing, moving out of the way of a falling plank.

"Hmm. Looks like someone has a death wish." Sand molded in a part of the land that wasn't filled with destruction. Nadakhan appeared, Nya with him in tow; she wasn't sleeping in the temple as you all assumed. Something was off about her. She didn't run from him, rather, she contently strolled beside him. You couldn't take your eyes off them.

Two souls in one vessel. You've witnessed it once before. With Morro and Lloyd.

"...from him, Nya. This guy is about to-"

"That's not Nya." You shakily muttered, catching the weird glances you got.

"What do you mean that's not my sister?"

"Oh dear, it seems this beautiful body shares a bloodline with this buffoon." She tsked her tongue, her accent, and voice far different from Nya's. Kai acted to his ignorance.
