Castle in the Sky - A BTS adaption

11 - pressure

Jimin grabbed a phone from a bottom compartment.
'Namjoon! The airship is right beneath us!' He yelled into the phone.
'What?!' Namjoon's voice spluttered through the phone.
A minute or so later Namjoon came up, fully dressed and ready. He looked down into the cloud abyss and obviously noticed the great ship.
'I will tell the crew to move out immediately, you stay up here' Namjoon said to Jimin. He then looked at you.
'Y/N, you should probably come back downstairs.' He said.
'Why?' You asked.
'Because, if anything wrong happens, they can easily take you away again and you will be stuck on Laputa where we can't find you' He said firmly.
'Yeah but, what if the bottom floor gets attacked?!' You said, trying to defend yourself.
'Please, Namjoon, I will take care of her.' Jimin sighed.
'Last time you said that, we saw you sulking towards your house without Y/N with you' Namjoon snapped. He was being pretty stubborn. 'Now come on'

He gripped onto your arm and pulled you down the ladder. You both entered the cockpit where half a dozen men, Jungkook and Hoseok stood.
'JK, Hobi, watch her will you? Make sure she doesn't sneak off anywhere' He ordered, pushing you towards them.
'Sure thing' They agreed.
After Namjoon left the room, you quickly tried to get out.
'No, no. You aren't going anywhere when the military is literally underneath us' Jungkook said, pulling you back.
You sighed and just looked out of the window, you didn't want Jimin to be alone in the open, especially after what Colonel Yoongi said at the fortress.
'We have enough reason to take him into custody. Or worse' Something like that.
Suddenly, the ship's controls started beeping and everybody rushed over, including Hoseok and Jungkook. This was your chance, as they were all occupied, you rushed outside and climbed up the ladder.

'Y/N?!' Jimin said with a suprised tone.
'Probably won't be long until they realise I'm gone, huh' You sighed. 'What's happening?'
Jimin looked over the ledge, binoculars up to his eyes.
'Bad things, they have already started minor shooting at the ship' He shuddered.
Thunder rang in the sky.
'And looks like the storm's about to hit..!' He added, sounding absolutely terrified.
The ship started violently rattling around, causing Jimin and you to be flung off our seats'
The phone then rang, Jimin picked it up nervously.

'Jimin, it's Namjoon, is Y/N up there with you?' Namjoon asked.
'Uh, no-'
'Yes, I am!' You shouted, interrupting Jimin.
'What did I tell you? Come down here' Namjoon ordered.
'No! Honestly, I can handle this!' You shouted into the phone.
'Please, don't make me send Hoseok and Jungkook up there to get you' He sighed.
'Namjoon! Come on, they are already shooting at us and in no time they will probably be infiltrating the bottom floor, wouldn't it be worse if I was down there in sight?' You argued back.
There was a wave of silence.
'All right, fine.' Namjoon's voice crackled through the line.
The ship then shaked furiously again.

'Namjoon, is there anyway we can get out of here?' Jimin asked, taking the phone.
'Yes, there is actually. I trust you're a decent flyer?' Namjoon answered. 'Next to the phone, there is a lever, pull on it'
Jimin took the lever and tugged. Suddenly, wings sprouted from either side of the pod you were in and over your heads, a fabric thing that allowed the contraption to glide and fly.
'Done that?' Namjoon said.
'Yeah, what now?' Jimin asked.
'Push that red button right infront of the phone, a steering wheel should come out' Namjoon directed.
So, Jimin pushed the button and a leather wheel came out. It was almost as if you were in a huge kite, you were ready for take off.
'How do we disengage?' Jimin asked.
Lightning suddenly flashed and it started to rain heavily.
'Get the wheel and pull it up whilst pushing down on the gas pedals beneath your feet, it should just come off and then you're in full control' Namjoon said, breaking up because of the water damage.

'Hold on tight..' Jimin said.
He slowly began to pull the wheel up and press on the pedal. Then, you lifted up into the air, wobbling around a little bit.
'Do you know you're doing?' You yelled, gripping on for dear life.
'Hey, I lived with a pilot who travelled to Laputa himself and your pilot, aka me, literally was building a plane to fly himself. You're in good hands' Jimin laughed.
'Have you disengaged?' Namjoon's voice echoed.
'Yes!' Jimin shouted, too concentrated on driving.
'All right, if we make it, we will see you at Laputa. You two be careful and don't get into any military trouble. Stay safe' Namjoon said.
The phone then clicked off.

Thunder loudly screeched and lightning struck in the sky, both accompanied by a harsh flood of rain. Surprisingly, you were flying smoothly.
'How is this thing going so smooth in a storm like this?' You mumbled, wrapping up in a ball to survive the coldness.
'I got the hang of this now' Jimin replied.
You looked over the edge and could no longer see the pirate plane, nor the military airship. One being a relief, the other being a worry.
'I can't see the pirate's anymore!' You yelled.
'I swear if the military caught them, we're doomed' Jimin sighed.
You began to ascend higher, going through dense cold clouds and booming thunder.
'Look!' Jimin yelled, pointing.
It was the huge candy-floss like cloud, stirring around and around. It had turned grey from the storm and lightning even struck through it.
'Laputa is in there!' You yelled, going up front to look at it.
'We are going in, get ready!' Jimin shouted, going full speed.
As you went into the cloud, the temperature immediately decreased and you could feel your fingers going numb. Jimin had burrowed his hands into his sleeves but still steered. The small flying machine miraculously stayed smooth despite the craziness of the cloud.
'I think we are almost through!' Jimin shouted.
As you looked up, you could see light beaming through the clouds.
'Quick!' You yelled.
You both went full-speed into the remaining part of dense cloud and suddenly, sunlight flooded your eyesight. The cold air brushed away and humid air replaced it. Your fingers and cheeks soon recovered from being numb as you entered the hot atmosphere. You landed onto a patch of grass and flowers and rolled out of the aircraft, sinking into the soft floor. It had been an exhausting journey.
