Are We There Yet? Chapter 6

Disclaimer: I don't own Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow.


The transparent being continued to widen the hole, which was now the size of a small child. It would soon be free, along with the hundreds of others like it, trapped in the other columns scattered across the bare expanse of land.

Franky and Polly watched as Joe cursed and began to run back to the Warhawk. At first, dumbstruck, they thought that he was about to escape himself, and leave them there, however much that that would be out-of-character for Joe to do, but he began to run back to them, just as wildly as before, though this time, he carried something in his hand.

He reached them just as the spirit-like being stepped out of the now-huge hole in the hollow column.

Joe swore again, colorfully, then, lifted the object in his hands so that it was clearly in their view. It was the ray gun that Dex had crafted.

"Get out of the way!" Joe shouted, waving his arms to Franky and Polly, who stood directly behind the strange creature, which was advancing on Joe. "Move!"

Franky grabbed Polly and the two ran around the creature, careful to give it a wide birth, to Joe's side.

Carefully, Joe focused his aim and pulled the trigger. A stream of brilliant, white light shot out of the ray gun, encasing the creature. Just as soon as the light appeared, though, it was gone again, and so was the spirit being.

Joe smirked at the spot where it had been.

"Transparent bastards," he muttered.

The other spirit-creatures had also broken free, and were now moving slowly towards the trio.

Joe set to work, and after a few hours, there was nothing left of the strange beings, but if they had paid any attention, they would have noticed that all of the holes in the hollow columns had disappeared, leaving the metallic surfaces of them completely smooth again.


A/N: Dun. Dun. Dun.

It has only been a week since I last updated! How's that for fast?!

Yeah, I know, really not very.

Anyhoo, I just thought I'd update, after all, today is a very important day! The release of the Sky Captain DVD, folks! Also, it's been three months since I first started this story! Not to mention the fact that the Oscar nominees were released today, and The Phantom of the Opera acquired three (Original Song, Cinematography, and Art direction)! Overall, today is a pretty good day, so I thought I'd make it even better with an update (readers grumble – you mean even worse)! Ok, I know it's short but it's only been a week as opposed to a month. Thanks for reading – please review!

Kitsune Suzume – I updated sooner! I'm so sorry it took so long, really! I know, I have to see Flight of the Phoenix! I'm just too busy going to see The Phantom of the Opera six times…;D! Here, um, ok, you go see The Phantom of the Opera and I'll go see the Flight of the Phoenix (of course I'll go see it anyway…). Thanks so much for the review! I really hope you enjoyed the chapter!

Thanks for reading everyone!
