The City of Darkness

XXXIII: Awkward Conversations

Shard and Sky sat in a hangar, Sky looking at Shard, who was curled on the floor. After they were whisked away, the closet was pulled into the airship's hangar. The two got out, and...yeah. Back to here.

Shard looked around at some planes and at the entire hangar itself. If he could manipulate the wind, they had a solid chance of escape. However, the planes are bolted down, leaving Shard and Sky to themselves.

Sky and Shard sometimes made eye contact, but quickly lowered their glances. It wasn't for 20 minutes that Sky decided to say something.

"U-Um...do you know why we're here?" Sky said. Shard shaked his head, he didn't know either.

"Do..do you know who's behind this?"

Same answer.

"Come on, Shard. Talk to me! Don't let this conversation get awkward."

"S-Sorry.." Shard said.

"It's okay." Sky inched closer to Shard, and put her head on his shoulder. Shard blushed and as he was about to say something that could possibly make the moment better, the airship rapidly shook, tossing the two vack and forth.

"Sky! That's it...!" Shard grabbed Sky's arm and ran towards a plane. He transformed his arm into his arm cannon and blasted away the bolts and chains surrounding the plane. He and Sky jumped in and Shard, with Sky's help, blasted the Airship's wall.

"Do you know how to fly a plane?" Sky yelled.

"Well, I've played a lot of flying video games!!" Shard said.

We're going to die. Sky thought as Shard turned the plane on and launched out the airship's hole-filled wall.

"Let's fly!" Shard yelled. He climbed (a flying term for going up) and looked at tge airship, which was pointing their cannons to them. Within three minutes, the plane exploded.

Sky woke up in the middle of the desert with a very low eyesight. She tried to see what was making her vision dark, and she soon realized she was surrounded. Surrounded by wings.

Apparently, Shard remembered he could fly, caught Sky after the explosion, and then got shot down, so he wrapped Sky in his wings. Sky figured all this out by looking at the stray plane parts and the burning hole in one of Shard's wings.

Sky looked around for anything and saw a car nearby. It was some exotic car. Sky dragged Shard, who was unconscious, into the drivers seat and got in on the other side. Shard was 15 years old, maybe he knew how to drive a freaking car. Sky thought.

Sky saw a note on the dashboard attached to a green vial. Give him the drink, take the car it said. Sky poured the drink down Shard's throat and the hole on his wing healed. He soon woke up and looked at Sky.

"Where...are we?" He said.

"I don't know. But let's find out. Drive." Sky said.

"Hmm..played a lot of racing games too. Don't see anyone around, so..hehe." Shard turned on the car and started to drive forward at top speeds, making the car go way beyond its limit with his wind powers as nitrous. They rocketed into the desert, unaware of the fate and danger that lied ahead.

Meanwhile....

Arius looked from the aircraft down at the car, and smiled. "Good luck, nephew. Hopefully my romantic plan will work! Hehe.."
