Elemental brothers oneshot story

crash

"Why are we using this old, crappy spaceship again?" Blaze groaned, staring at the rust stained walls like they personally offended him.

"I mean seriously, this thing looks like it's one sneeze away from exploding!"

The ship creaked like an ancient door in a horror movie, dust fell from the ceiling, and something hissed in the background.

Blaze immediately jumped back.

"Yeah no, nope! That's it" He raised both hands in surrender.

"I am not dying in a space tin can held together by hope and duct tape!"

"It's not that bad" Taufan said proudly as he kicked the wall, the said wall fell with a thud.

Everyone stared in stunned silence, Gempa closed his eyes, slowly running a hand through his hair before exhaling the kind of sigh that only came from years of dealing with Taufan's nonsense.

"Why do I even try…" he mumbled, giving their second oldest brother a flat look.

"Taufan" Gempa said wearily, rubbing his temple.

"you single handedly proven why we are stuck using this flying coffin" Taufan raised both hands defensively.

"Hey! I was fixing the ship!"

"Keyword, was" Blaze shot back while Halilintar crossed his arms, his jaw tightening.

"You poured cooking oil into the engine"

"It was all we had!" Taufan argued.

"The engine oil was right next to it, Taufan!" Halilintar said, rubbing his temple like he could feel his brain cells dying one by one.

"You even labeled it! How did you mistake that for cooking oil?"

"In my defense, both bottles were yellow" Taufan crossed his arms, defiant.

There was a long pause.

Even the ship seemed to stop creaking, as if the universe itself needed a moment to let that stupidity echo properly.

Solar, who had been quietly observing from the corner, finally spoke up, completely deadpan.

"At this point, I think the ship's running on pure delusion"

Blaze let out a laugh.

"Delusion and duct tape! Don't forget the duct tape!"

Halilintar rubbed his temple again, muttering something that sounded suspiciously like a prayer for patience.

"Remind me, Taufan" he said slowly.

"why exactly did we have to borrow this ship in the first place?"

Taufan froze.

"...Define 'borrow'?" he fidgeted as Solar's eyes narrowed.

"You blew up the last one" Solar said flatly, causing Taufan to laughed nervously.

"I wouldn't say blew up... more like an unexpected fire based detonation event"

"You mean an explosion?" Thorn asked from the background.

"...Yeah that" Taufan muttered as Halilintar's jaw tightened once more.

"And what caused this explosion?" Gempa asked, giving him that famous disappointed mom look.

"Okay, hear me out" Taufan began cautiously.

"Someone said the fuel line was leaking, so I tried to fix it" Everyone immediately have a bad feeling about this.
