2 hours later…

"…Okay Kobe, lift me back up", I said hanging onto a rope, "Al…right, the ship's taken a few flying debris. Other than that, it's still in good shape", I said taking off some gloves.

There is something I didn't tell you guys. I use some of the ship rope and tied it around me so I could examine the sides of the whole ship. It's kinda like hiking. We're going to need to sew up those sails though. I took a look to Tara, who still wasn't feeling so good. She says that being out in the Spiral makes her feel off. Sounds like it's the same as Sky sickness.

"I'm going to start sailing now", Rebecca said walking to where the wheel is.

Not gonna lie to you guys, I'm a little nervous about going to Valencia. Who knows what might happen when we head into enemy territory. Could they be by the stormgate when we arrive? I hope not. I fold my arms and rest them of the side of the ship to gaze at the stars to calm my head. I still can't help but wonder if the ship will be okay. I mean it's okay now, but again…in the heat of battle. Will it be okay? Will we be okay? Man Mari, calm down.

"Mari?"

"Huh?", I said pulling up my head, "Oh Kobe, what is it?"

"You look troubled"

"Yyyyea, I am", I said scratching my head, "Going to Valencia got me nervous"

"Hm",

"Just worrying about getting there and what might happen, you know?"

"I see", Kobe said resting his arm on the ship with me, "Whatever happens, we will be ready"

"How can you be sure we'll be okay?", I asked looking at him.

"I simply have faith in all of us and our abilities", Kobe said looking at me.

"….Right, you're right", I said unfolding my arms, "We got through Avernus, we'll get through this one", I said looking to Valencia

We're almost there. I can feel my heart beating fast, but I ignore it and get my axe. I know I'm grounded, but I'll be cursed if I let my friends fight those clockwork soldiers alone. Here we go….What the….? Wh-what happen to this place? There's barely anything in the sky. Holy cow, there's a gigantic….clockwork…thing…taking up nearly the entire sky! What has the Armada done here?

"Rebecca, are you sure you know where your going?", Tara asked.

"Yea", Rebecca said, "In fact, we're almost there"

From the looks of it, we're heading to what looks like a…house on an island. Well whatever the case is, we're here now.

"I sure hope this isn't trespassing", Tara said sounding worried while walking off the ship.

"This place looks nice", I said walking off the ship, "Oh look, a life fountain", I said pointing.

"Good, I'm thirsty", Rebecca said walking to the fountain.

"Wait Rebecca, we can't use it without the owner's permission", Tara said

"*Sigh* Fine", Rebecca said walking pass the fountain.

"You and your manners girl", I said.

"I just don't want us to cause, if any, trouble while we are here", Tara said walking

"Yea, good point", I said following her.

When we got closer to the house, it started to look rather fancy. Again, this place was niiice. We all walked up to the door and Rebecca gave it a good knock. But, nobody answered.

"Hmm I was not expecting any company of any sort to show up here", Someone said from behind us.

We all turn to see who was talking, it was an old unicorn with a cane in his hand.

"Hmmm I don't know any of you, and each of you look to be a long way from home", The unicorn said, "What brings you to a place such as this?"

"Is your named Steed?", Rebecca asked after she walked up to him.

"Yes, and may I ask how you know my name?"

"…Here", Rebecca said showing him something she took out her coat.

"Ah, so the Resistance - all the way from Skull Island by the looks of it", Steed said.

"Actually we're here in search of Marco Pollo's Map", Rebecca said.

"Marco Pollo's Map? That's just a legend"

"Actually we have a piece of the ma…oops", Milo accidentally said.

"I see", Steed said rubbing his beard, "I will gladly help you since the Armada are after it too"

Steed explains the Pollo taught in an Academy in a place called Sivella and said a piece could be there. There's just one big problem, there are Armada soldiers patrolling the area. Luckily, Steed came up with the idea of making a disguise to use, we just need to attack a few ships.

"Mari, you stay here", Gaspard said pointing to me then the ground, "Remember you are still grounded"

"W-wait I-"

"No, excuses" Tara said in a serious tone.

"I….okay", I said looking the other way, "Just maybe bring an Armada ship with you,…that way you can sneak into Sivella without looking suspicious…", I suggested rubbing my arm.

"That's…actually a great idea", Bonnie said looking calmly shocked, "Never would have thought of that, we should try it"

"Hm", Kobe agreed nodding his head.

"I like the idea, thank you Mari", Tara said nodding her head then smiled.

I saw Rebecca turn the other way. Ha she agrees, just doesn't want to show it. The team walk to the ship while I was stuck here with Mr. Steed. Not sure what to do.

"Ssssooo…you wouldn't happen to have an empty ship bottle do you"

"In fact, I do", Steed said, "Let me guess, you plan on keeping the Armada ship"

"Yyup", I said smiling.

"Follow me"

30 minutes later….

"We're back", I heard Bonnie say, "We got the ship"

"Oh boy I gotta see this!", I said running to the docks.

I wonder what it's gonna lik-OOOOH MY GOSH! Look at this! Just look at THIS! Find a picture of this or something, this is amaaazziiiing! I MMMUST check out this beast! Wow the deck is great, lovely wood. Oh look at those beautiful sails, such amazing form! Gotta check out what's below. Hmm, barely any damage was taken. Excellent armor. Perfect structure. Oooh, enhance cannons. a few jail cells, more space for us. Man I can go on and on about it, give me a moment.

29 minutes later…

There is no WAY we are getting rid of this ship! If only I could take it out for a spin *siiiigh*. Curse me for getting too excited, uugh!

"Hey Blondey, what are still doing on this ship?", I hear Rebecca say from behind me.

"For your information, I was-", I said turning around, "…Are those…the disguises?"

"Yes, and you better not laugh or you'll regret it", Rebecca said folding her arms.

"First off I like to see you try, second, you guys are a little shorter than the Armada soldiers", I said, "You sure you'll be alright?"

"We hope so", Tara said, "If not, I'll just teleport the two of us out"

"Good", I said, "Hey Red Rust, you better make sure Tara is okay"

"Shut up and get off the ship"

"No need to tell me twice", I said turning around and walking off.

"Stay save you two", Gaspard said waving.

"We will", Tara said as the ship sailed by.

See you guys soon.
