3 Killers Love

Splash, Crash, Talk

Around them the rusted out plane rattled and shook as it rolled through the junkyard. Lilly did her best to follow the maze-like paths so the wings wouldn't clip the piles of junk anymore than necessary. The twists and turns, however, made it difficult for the blond killer to pick up speed. She needed to get the plane out of the junkyard, or else they wouldn't gain enough speed in time to not be swallowed up by the nothing. So both she and Toby were looking for the edge of the junkyard to break free of.

"Lilly, t-to the l-left!" Toby shouted, pointing to a gap between scrap piles. Between the two piles a chain link fence could be seen.

"We gotta take it." She responded, making the plane take a rather sharp turn. She pressed the gas, making the plane pick up speed, hoping it would be enough to ram through. "I know, Lil, but we're going to have to take some damage."

Right as she said that the wings hit the piles of junk with loud bangs. A loud screeching sound could be heard from the right wing. It was the kind of screech that made your teeth rattle and your ears ring. It only lasted a couple of seconds before it stopped and the plan hit the fence. There was the sound of metal hitting metal, then tearing, followed by the plane bouncing on its wheels a bit.

Now out of the junkyard area they had a short distance between them and the tree line to pick up speed. Lilly pressed the pedal down as far as it could go. The plane quickly picked up speed, allowing it to gain air for a moment before dropping back down again. The plane hopped a few more times as the tree line grew closer, but she couldn't turn the plane to gain more room. The micro realm was quickly falling apart behind them. The very edge of the nothingness nipped at the heels of the plane.

"Hey, Taby, how much are we going to need our landing gear?" Lilly asked as the trees fast approached.

"N-not badly e-enou-gh!" He responded as he gripped onto the pilot's seat. His knuckles turned white from the strength of his grip.

"Good." She replied with a faint sigh of relief. Not caring about the landing gear buys them a few more precious seconds of speed build up time. Those few more seconds provided just enough time to reach take off speed. "Hang on!" Lilly shouted to her friend as she pulled the plane into the air.

It wasn't enough of a warning for the twitching pasta. As the plane shot into the air, Toby fell back against the wall with an audible thud. From beneath them they could feel the rusted landing gear being torn from the plane by the trees. Both Toby and Lilly hoped that they wouldn't need to stop, for they could never get the plane back up again. Lilly quickly straightened the plane back out before correcting the plane north ward.

She leaned back in her chair and let out a deep breath. "Well that sucked. But it did give me an idea for my next game."

"Is th-that confirmation th-there will b-be a n-next game?" Toby asked as he stood back up.

"Should be. We're ahead of the destruction and should be reaching the edge of the micro realm soon." She said as she looked over the dynamiters. "It's another question entirely if we'll have enough gas to get to the portal. Or if the wings will hold out. What with being damaged and all from the scrap pills."

"W-what does th-that mean?" Toby inquired.

"It means go tell the others to get ready for a possible crash landing." She chuckled as she looked back at him. Toby hadn't realized it before, but she had a black eye from the fight.

"Will do. Holler if you need anything." Toby said as he walked out the cockpit. He pulled a labeled map off the wall as he walked out, examining it.

*Or I can always do this.* Lilly's voice came out of the speakers, catching the attention of everyone on the plane. *Goooooooood evening ladies, gentleman, animals, and Jeff, this is your captain speaking. If you look to the front of the plane you'll see our lovely Stewardess; Taby, aka Toby.*
