Sik found  a hatch below him and he opened it. He jumped down into the ship. It was eerily quiet. He slowly walked forward when someone tackled him from his left. He fell onto the catwalk and the man above him started to punch him. 

He grabbed the man and tossed him over the rail sending him into a lower catwalk. He stood up and kept walking. He found the engine room and walked inside. There was a technician inside working on one of the engines. Sik knocked him out and shot the piping and pistons. The engine came to a halt and he could hear shouts and screams as the airship tilted to the side. 

"Aaron, do you see Sik? The ship is going down." Said Harold. "Sik is not in sight, the tracker has located him inside in an engine room." Said Aaron. "Okay." Said Harold turning the Mustang around and towards the engine room. "Sik, come in Sik. I'm flying around the engine bay." Said Harold. All of a sudden he heard flak guns above him and bullets slammed next to him. He flew up and saw a man at the swivel gun. 

"Aaron. I have a flak gunner on me. He is a good shot. Come take him out from behind." Said Harold. "Will do." Said Aaron. Harold looked and saw Aaron come in for a strafing run and he mowed the flak gunner down. "Aaron. We have more to go." Said Harold.  

A few hours later they knocked the rest of the air ships out of the sky. "Ready to go back to base?" Asked Harold. "Sounds good." Said Aaron. "Wait." Said Sik. "For what?" Asked Harold. "The mother of all airships is coming." Said Sik. "What do you mean?" Asked Harold. 

A huge air ship almost half the size of Sky City flew over and they saw it. "It has a landing strip on top." Said Harold. "Good. Aaron, cover Sik and I. We are going in." Said Harold. "The plane?" Asked Aaron. "It's okay." Said Harold as he went into a nose dive towards the ship. Sik was gliding towards it. 

"Sik, do you see that?" Asked Harold. "A bomber, yes. And the multiple flak guns around, those as well." Said Sik. "I'll see you down there." Said Harold. Harold grabbed the yoke and pushed down. The engine speed increased and was heading straight towards the center of the airship. Harold taped the fire button down and a continuous stream of bullets shot out. Harold ejected as the flak guns fired at the plane. He saw bullets rip through the wings and fuselage as the plane slammed into the center of the runway and trough the airship. 

Harold yanked his parachute chord and landed hard onto the ship. He tried to release the chord as he slid down the side of the plane and the parachute caught on a flak gun. He was suspended above the ground as he tried to climb up the parachute. A gunner started to hack at the chords. 

Harold saw the man get thrown off the side as Sik pulled the parachute up over the side. "Thank you Sik." Said Harold. "You're very welcome." Said Sik. They ran along the top towards the tower. Gun fire echoed through the air and Harold and Sik ducked down. 

"Aaron, we need you." Said Harold. "Got you." Said Aaron flying overhead and mowing down the gunner. Harold and Sik started to run towards the tower again. They opened the door and climbed down the ladder. They landed on a catwalk and looked around. "Where is the engine room?" Asked Harold. 

"Down a few levels and across to the left." Said Sik. There was a loud roar as a plane flew overhead. "Uh guys we have a problem." Said Aaron. "What is it?" Asked Harold. "They have the bomber in the air." Said Aaron. "That's not good. They'll destroy Sky City." Said Sik. 

Harold jumped over the side and landed on the catwalk below. "Sik, follow me." Said Harold. Sik landed next to him and they kept walking. "Hey! Hey! Are you the techs I need for the engine?" Asked a man. "Yeah, sure. We are." Said Harold. "Okay, follow me. The engine is having problems." Said the man walking away. Harold and Sik followed the man. A few minutes later they walked into a room. There was a huge engine in the center generating heat. "Don't worry. You won't die." Said the man as he walked out the room. 

"Perfect. Sik foul the engine." Said Harold. Sik nodded and pulled out piping and engine pieces. They heard the engine shut down and they felt the airship jolt slightly. 

"Control room to engine room. What the hell is going on?" Asked the captain. "Captain, don't worry. The engine has to go in a shut down and restart mode." Said Harold. "Good, well get her back up and running." Said the captain. Harold grabbed the mic and smashed it down on the ground. 

The man walked back into the room and Harold pulled out his pistol. "Shut up and get on the ground." Said Harold. The man put his hands behind his back and sat down. "Sik, tie him up. I'm going to get a map." Said Harold. Sik nodded and grabbed the man. 

"You aren't the engine people I needed!" Yelled the man as Sik dragged him to the side and tossed him down. They walked towards the other engine rooms to destroy them. 

"Go find the guy that I just talked to. He won't pick up again." Said the captain. "Yes sir." Said an officer running out the control room and down the catwalks. 

"Sir, someone is coming." Said Sik. Harold and Sik hopped over the side of the catwalk and hung from underneath. "Where is that man. He isn't here." Said the officer to himself. Harold hopped over the rail and punched the officer. The officer fell back against the rail and wiped his jaw. "Ha, you weak human. You're too old." Said the officer charging Harold. Harold ducked and wrapped his arms around the man's waist. He slammed him into the ground and rolled over. The officer grabbed his arm and twisted it behind his back. 

"I will kill you." Said the officer grabbing Harold. by the collar and lifted him over the rail. Sik grabbed the officer and yanked them back onto the catwalk. The officer looked at Sik and grabbed his arm. "No, you ghastly robots." Said the officer. Sik lifted him over the side of the rail when six gun shots rang out and Harold looked at Sik who stood still. There were five bullet holes in his torso and one in his head. Sik released the officer and stumbled over the rail, ripping it apart and falling below.
