So, longish chapter... For me anyway.

The story is getting slightly more interesting? Yea? I hope...

So, pretty much, I tried to pretend like I knew how to fly a fictional space ship, I tried folks, I TRIED.

Um, I don't own anything in here but Mari.

Enjoy!


Sora sat down and buckled up like he was told, looking up the window to see the mob of people running up over the hill, shaking they're fist at the retreating gummi. He looked at the back of Mari chair and sighed quietly. He knew that she was probably right, but he was starting to feel strange, like something bad was about to happen and like they shouldn't leave.

A beeping on the counsel next to her told Mari that something was approaching the small ship. She glanced down at the radar screen for a second and then look out the window. She cursed under her breath when she saw a large ship, or robot it looked like, was barreling towards them. She focused on trying to get out of there safely, ignoring the fact the the beeping on the radar beside her was going double time now.

Mari turned the gummi ship away from the large machines coming towards them. She was concentrating at flipping switches and pressing buttons in a specific order to send more power to the thrusters. She had almost finished the sequence when there was a loud explosive sound and the ship lurched forward harshly. Mari slammed into the console in front of her, ruining the sequence that she had tried to enter by pushing so many buttons at once.

"Shit!" She hissed, trying to straighten up. The goggles that she wore around her neck were caught on one of the prongs of the steering mechanism. She pulled back again but they still wouldn't come free. She sighed in frustration and removed the goggles from around her neck quickly, deciding that that was the easiest course of action at the moment.

She quickly placed both hands on the two prongs and whipped the ship around, preparing to attack the other spacecrafts. She pushed the buttons on the top on the prongs with her thumbs, sending a steady stream of attacks at the larger ships, hoping for the best. Mari grit her teeth slightly and wheeled the ship around, dodging some attacks from the other ships. She pulled up, making the ship go nearly vertical, as she started working on the hyper drive sequence again.

Sora dug his fingers in the the armrest, barely noticing that his knuckles were turning white. Normally, he didn't mind Mari's driving. Usually, during fighting she enjoyed herself, only when things were bad did she angry and serious. Like now. He hadn't really seen Mari this distressed, it was starting to freak him out a little bit. Mari was normally happy, though not as happy as Sora. Mari was the one that reminded Sora to be realistic, so if she was acting like this, they must be in a tough spot.

"Sora!"

Mari's voice pulled Sora out of his thoughts.

"Uh- Yea?" He stammered slightly.

"Unbuckle yourself and come here, but be careful."

Sora hesitated for a second before moving to do what he was told. He managed to undo the restraints of the chair just as the gummi ship was hit by a blast for the other ships. Sora was almost thrown from his seat, but he managed to get a death grip an the armrest to prevent that.

"Sora? Are you alright?"

The brunette swallowed before speaking. "Y-Yea, I'm okay."

He remember that he was supposed to be making his way over to Mari and slowly stood up, keeping a grip on the armrest still. He reached out a brushed the back of Mari's chair with his fingertips. He let go of the armrest and took a step forward, gripping the back of the girl's chair now.

Mari looked up at Sora briefly, feeling her chair lean back slightly when he started to put pressure on it. She pushed a few more buttons before she reach up and grabbed both of Sora's wrists. Sora looked shocked for a moment as Mari pulled his hands down and forced him to take hold of the steering console.

"What's going on Mari?" He asked as the girl ducked under his arms, vacating the pilot's seat.

"You need to fly the gummi ship out of here."

"But what about-"

"The teeny ships are going to launch in a minute, I'm going to distract whoever's attacking us."

Sora sat down in the pilot's chair to get a better grip on the steering prongs. He looked back at Mari as she disappeared through a door that lead farther into the ship. He turned forward again, looking around at all the sensors and radar around him to see where the enemy was.

A screen flicked on in front of Sora, catching his attention. He looked puzzled for a moment, seeing Mari in a cramped area on the screen. It took him a second to realize that the screen was from the inside of one of the teeny ships.

"Mari! What are you doing in the teeny ship?"

"I'm going to distract the giant robots that are attack us. Now, once the teeny ships deploy I'm going to the cut the video feed."

"But, Mari-"

"Sora, please, I don't have much time. I plugged in the coordinates to the wrap hole that brought us here, all you have to do is hold the ship study as it takes you there. Putting you on autopilot is too dangerous here, computers don't know how to dodge things. Just push the greenish button on the left to start up the hyper drive."

"Mari! What about you?" Sora asked, finally getting a word in.

"I'll be fine! I can take care of myself."

"But-"

"Sora, I'll be fine, just promise me that you'll go to the warp hole and not be the hero right now."

"But-"

"Just go find Riku and go home to Kairi, okay?" Mari snapped, sounding annoyed.

Sora looked down at the screen and said nothing. Really, he didn't know how to express what he was feeling at the moment.

"Sora, you're the keyblade wielder. You have more important things to do instead of worrying about me."

Mari pulled an oxygen mask over her head and flashed Sora a peace sign, as if to say she'd be okay, just as the video feed cut out.


Alright! Woo! Yea!
