Chapter 4 The not so damsels in distress.
Four days had passed since we were captured and taken to the Vione. Nanashi had finally mastered how to open up my staff and retract it again and I had read every book that the dragon slayers were able to get their hands on. We were now very bored. The dragon slayers did come play cards with us when they had the time but refused to play poker and games they found that Nanashi had also mastered, so we stuck with 'Go fish', 'shit-head' and 'Dai Hin Min' although they also go boring.
"Kari-Chan I'm so bored I wish we could just escape this place." Nanashi moaned.
"Oh and go where exactly this is known as a 'floating' fortress. Not that easy to get off." Nanashi stuck out her tongue as I laughed.
"I wish these beds were softer." Nanashi began to moan.
"Yeah and that we could have a proper shower and everything." I added to the complaints.
"A change of clothes…" Nanashi grumbled.
"Hey at least they gave us some clean underwear!" I stated.
"True I guess the dragon slayers boxers are better then dirty underwear." We sighed becoming fed up that they still treated us like criminals.
Several hours later…
"YAY I win!" I yelled as placed down all my cards.
"…Again." Chester said unenthusiastically.
"I told you not to play Dai Hin Min against Kari-Chan…I may rule at poker and most card games but she will forever win that one." Nanashi said as she sat playing blackjack with Dilandau (he was determined to win back his pride but was losing again).
Suddenly the Vione jolted sending us all flying.
"What was that?" Nanashi asked. The dragon slayers all looked at each other then at their commander.
"Go find out then if you want to know…hey lay down my card and don't cheat!" Dilandau was too busy trying to beat Nanashi to care; she had claimed his jacket, sword, boots and shit again.
The dragon slayers glad to get away saluted their commander and left. I sat by the small window and picked up the latest book Dilandau had managed to 'borrow' from Folken for me titled 'The history of Zaibach'.
About ten minutes had passed since the dragon slayers had left us; Dilandau was now back in his underwear although this time wore boxers and I was well into my book when our door was rammed open.
We all turned to see who had opened our door surprised to see Allen although he seemed more surprised to see us the way we were.
"Allen!" Dilandau exclaimed standing up and reaching for his sword then realizing Nanashi had it all blushed since he was stood in his boxers before the knight.
"…" Allen stood in silence unsure on how to react.
"Hey Shits-hard how's it going? Come to get the Escaflowne back? Sorry about Nanashi she's very stubborn." I stood placing my makeshift bookmark in-between the pages.
"So what you doing here?" Nanashi asked bluntly also standing Dilandau's jacket surprisingly looking good on her.
"I came to rescue you." He said still shocked at the sight of the young pyro maniac in his boxer shorts and his two damsels in distress well not in distress.
"Rescue? Dude I enjoy being here I had quite a lot fun playing cards besides WHO EVER SAID I NEEDED YOUR HELP DICKWEED!" Nanashi yelled as Dilandau snuck out the room.
"Dickweed…that's a new one." I answered standing beside my friend.
Nanashi laughed, "You like? I've had loads of time to think of new insults."
"Look you two are coming with me, we need to get you somewhere safe Zaibach are dangerous." Allen said trying his best.
"And where do you plan to take us? That shit little fort of yours isn't safe it's very flammable." I asked.
Allen sighed. "We plan to go to Palas now please come with us or we will be led to believe that you have joined Zaibach and that you two are now our enemies."
"Hey Kari-Chan." Nanashi whispered. "Who wins this thing anyway?"
"Not Zaibach." I answered with a smile. "In fact this place gets shot down and sinks and lots of Zaibach people die!" Nanashi gulped.
"Off to Palas it is then!" She chirped walking out the door.
Somehow we all managed to get off the Vione in one piece and were on our way to Palas. We later found out that Dilandau had gone after Van and still received the scar on his face and that we were forgiven for taking the Escaflowne. Nanashi didn't care though she had Dilandau's jacket.
Back at the Vione…
"Folken-Sama! The girls from the mystic moon have escaped and they have taken back the Escaflowne.
"Is that so?" Folken said calmly sat at his desk, his back to the solider reporting the news. "That can't be helped." The solider bowed and left.
Folken stared at the little Plush of himself he had taken from me days before. "What unusual girls."
A/N:

Nanashi: YAY I HAVE DILLY-SAMA'S JACKET.
Me: (kills Nanashi) don't rub it in …
