Your POV:

Bennett and I have been rooming together for the past week on Beidous ship, and I have to say I finally realized why he was considered so unlucky. The two storms we've had to travel through, his foot going completely through a weak plank on the deck, falling off his bed in the middle of the night TWICE. I could write a book about every little unlucky thing that has happened so far but I'll spare you from reading that.

"Alright crew!" Beidou shouted from one of the higher points of the ship. "We should be reaching the external storm of Inazuma soon! Everyone get below deck!" She shouted. The crew, except the chosen few that were to guide the ship through the storm, made their way to the underground area and strapped themselves in. "Beidou!" I ran up to the woman. "Can I help?" Beidou nodded. "If you get thrown overboard don't expect help." She joked.

"Can I help too?" Bennett asked. I slightly jumped since I didn't know he was next to me. "Sure." Beidou smiled, tying some rope around a peg. "Don't die." She smiled before grabbing the wheel of the ship, suddenly the winds all around us turned harsh. I took a step back in surprise and Bennett grabbed my upper arm in reaction. He waited for me to stabilize myself before letting go. The entire storm Beidou was shouting orders at Bennett, Kazuha and I. We eventually got used to our jobs and eventually were able to predict what was next to some extent.

But unpredictable things happen.

A massive wave pushed the entire ship to the right, sending all of us to the edge close enough to where we could touch the salt water below us. Then another wave harshly sent us back upright. Then the only thing left was the rain as we finally reached the docks of Inazuma. Kazuha was getting off the ground and Beidou was wrapping a bandage around her wrist, she must have sprained it. "Where's Bennett?" I lightly questioned to myself before I looked up. He was hung upside down by a rope that got loose at some point. I aimed towards the rope and attacked it causing him to fall straight down. Or he would have if I didn't catch him. He mumbled a small, embarrassed, thanks as I sat him down.

The rest of the crew came out from the lower half of the ship. While the people who stayed above deck tried to dry off as much as possible.

"Now for challenge two." Beidou came up to me and Bennett. She opened a box full of shredded paper. "Get in." She smiled. "What? Why?" Bennett asked getting into the box anyways. "It's sound proof but still try to stay quiet. Alright?" Beidou smiled at me before ruffling up my hair with a sad expression. "See ya pipsqueak." I got into the box with Bennett and Beidou closed the lid on us. "Nobody that isn't an Inazuma resident is allowed outside of Rito." I whispered to Bennett. I couldn't see him but we were touching due to how small the box is. "Aren't you a resident?" "A wanted one," I answered. "Anyone who defines the Shogun is supposed to be executed publicly. That's why the common folk are too scared to stand against her." I finished before realizing something. "She can't execute you tho, since you're not from her-" I was interrupted by the box starting to move. "I'm not worried about that." Bennett said. I could feel him lightly fidgeting in the small box. "I'm worried about your execution." He whispered.

The rest of our time in the box was silent. After a while the box stopped. I finally broke the silence. "I did shipment work before joining the rebellion." I said quietly. The box was soundproof but it was still nerve racking. "We should be in a storage unit just outside Rito." I said before shifting myself to where my hands were on the top of the box. I pushed it open slightly and saw that we were in the storage warehouse. I jumped out and Bennett followed soon after. We put the lid on the box and snuck out the door. "If we go down this path we should reach the Kamisato estate, they have a waverider that can take us to Watatsumi Island from there we can meet up with Gorou and Kokomi." I said. Bennett nodded while frantically looking around his new surroundings.
