The Boy From the Castle in the Sky (Septiplier)

Chapter 1

An airship coasts through the sky, eyes ever watchful in the clear moonlight that filters through the puffy clouds.

"What's going on?!" Men rush about the decks.

"C'mon boys!" The captain shouts as they all hurry to the railing. "There it is, right on schedule." They watch as a much larger and more advanced airship comes into view below them. The captain cackles with excitement, her wrinkled face grinning in anticipation. "Let's go!"

"Ey ey!" The crew runs towards the mini flies, taking off in pairs of two; wings buzzing as they fly towards the slow moving ship.

Inside the ship, a young boy sits dejected in a wooden chair by a window. A man offers him food, but he only turns his head towards the window. The man shoves the plate forward, waiting for him to take it. Another man with blond hair and sunglasses says something, so the first just shrugs his shoulders and leaves.

The young boy looks to the bleak sky and watches as clouds float away from the moon. Suddenly, the crew of the other ship appears, flying extremely fast towards his airship. He gasped in fear when he realized who they were.

The crew in the mini flies stop their wings and turn sideways; hurdling towards the airship. The young boy pulls back as the captain flies by his window, smiling menacingly.

"It's Dola." One of the men says from behind the boy. Dola holds up her gun and laughs, flying up to the engine room window.

The captain lets out a confused "Huh?" and Dola shoots the window; laughing once again. Yellow smoke billows throughout the engine room.

"We're under attack!" One of the crewmen shouts, another tries to alarm the rest of the ship; but is halted by a bout of coughing due to the smoke filling the room.

The pirates drop onto the ships dorsal. "Let's go Louie!"

"Let's get 'em boys!" Dola shouts.

They all shout as they run towards an opening, the first crashing into the crew firing at them and falling down. "Wait for me!" All of them drop inside, crushing small parts of the ship while the crew panics and runs.

Battle cries and shouts of "Take that!" as well as grunts are heard as Dola drops down, running.

"Pirates!" A crew member shouts.

"Excuse me!" The first pirate grunts, knocking the armed men aside.

"Follow me!" The second pirate commands with Dola and another pirate running swiftly behind him and down the stairs.

"Ladies and gentlemen don't move." Someone says as they descend into a crowd of party-goers in fancy dresses and suits.

"Gang way!" Dola shouts as she pushes through the crowd at a sprint, her cannon gun held at the ready in front of her. Confused shouts from the guests fill the air.

"Mom look out!"

Dola burst through the door to the hallway, only to be pulled back by one of the pirates with her when a man shoots his pistol in her direction. Men in sunglasses continue to shoot from behind a barricade of tables, chairs, and suitcases. The blond haired man leaning out from the door to shoot as well.

"Hold the line." He commands, pulling back into the room and shutting the door.

"Yes sir."

"Seán, stay out of the way and you won't get hurt." He breathes out, rushing over to a suitcase suspended on a board about 2 feet off the ground. He kneels down, opening the suitcase and pulling up an antenna from inside. Putting one side of the headphones to his ear as he begins to tap out a frantic message in Morse code.
