Rising Breakdown Sphere
EPISODE VIII: The World Wakes
Two days after the takeover of the Kandarin Region everyone is rested and prepared to take the final Kingdom, the Kingdom of the Elves.
Aizen woke up in Karura's bed and stretched looking back to see Jessica sleeping on the other side.
Aizen got up slowly not to wake her and looked out the window to see his soldiers preparing to head west with the airships being boarded and the Condor being fueled with more coal for the steam.
Aizen gently shook Jessica to wake up.
"It's time." Aizen told her.
Jessica nodded with a yawn and got prepared.
They both heard a noise outside as the airships were rising into the sky.
The condor was the only thing that was still landed and waiting for them.
Aizen and Jessica walked up being greeted by Daniel and Granz.
"The army is headed to the Elf capital now." Granz said.
"Daniel, what is your take on the battle?" Aizen asked.
"I believe we got a fifty-fifty chance. We tested out the bomb and we will be taking it to Prifddinas as a means to force them to forfeit." Daniel said.
"This bomb is capable of quite the devastation as me and Daniel suspect. The scientists with us were very careful when mixing the chemicals." Granz said.
"Which airship will it be on?" Aizen asked.
"That one over there." Daniel pointed to a well-armored airship with two others beside it.
"Make sure our forces aren't at their capital when you send it down. Keep those airships very high in the sky so they don't see them coming." Aizen said.
Daniel nodded and walked to an airspeeder that would take him to that airship.
Granz looked back at Aizen.
"The rest of us are going with you on the Condor. Might as well go together right?" Granz said with a shrug.
"Least we will avoid that blasted forest." Aizen said.
Jessica walked by them.
"Come on boys, let's conquer a planet." Jessica said.
Aizen smirked and followed behind with Granz.
Stork looked at everyone in the cockpit with him and nodded.
"Some of us are inside the cargo hold." Aizen said.
"Very well, I won't do any fancy tricks with flying." Stork said.
The ground soldiers already left hours ago and now the airships headed out and the Condor following behind.
"What a nice steering wheel." Beverly said.
"Huh? Beverly?" Deidara asked shocked to see her.
"Me and Norman got to the wagon too late to head back to Varrock so we decided to come on board." Beverly said.
"Where is Norman?" Deidara asked.
Norman meanwhile was in the cargo section and stuck between two crates that Yammy had to help move out of the way.
"Stupid crates!" Norman shouted.
"I got you old man." Yammy said.
"Arrow bolts are ready." Zangei said putting them in his satchel and arrow pouch.
Starrk looked at two gun pistols and was contemplating.
"What are those?" The black half of Zetsu asked.
"New weapons that can fire Ceros. I'm just worried if they will backfire on me. This is a new invention." Starrk said.
"Looks like it." The white half of Zetsu said.
"You think we will have a chance to crush some skulls?" Yammy asked.
"Or eat some skulls." The black half of Zetsu said.
Yammy cringed a bit looking at Zetsu.
Stork looked out the window at the land and then noticed a flash coming from the tree's in the distance and a rocket pod hitting the side of the condor and then another hitting the side again causing the engine to fail.
"We are getting hit by rocket pods!" Stork shouted.
Another rocket pot nearly hit the cockpit but hit below it and the Condor crashed into the trees below and stopped right into some thick trees.
Some of the crew were knocked out one being Jessica.
Aizen unbuckled and checked on her and handed her to Deidara who put her with a knocked out Stork.
"Beverly?" Aizen asked.
Beverly groaned painfully and luckily she was alive.
Aizen smiled and put some potion on her head and gently carried her to sit beside Jessica and Stork.
"Deidara stay with them." Aizen said and walked down the stairs to the cargo.
Aizen was greeted by a female Viera who looked down at him from her tall height being just three more inches taller than him.
"Some of the crew is knocked out and sadly we lost a soldier. Box's crushed him." She told him.
"Damn- who are you?" Aizen asked.
"Ymir." Ymir said.
"Ymir, can you go up and help those that are unconscious for me?" Aizen asked.
"Right away sir." Ymir said headed up the stairs passed him.
Aizen ran over to find Norman tangled in rope.
"Stupid rope!" Norman shouted.
Aizen helped Norman out and then ran over to Gin who was checking on Grimmjow who was knocked out.
Sasori opened the cargo hold doors to the outside.
"Get some air in here." Sasori said.
Deidara and Ymir were helping those in the cockpit inside the cargo hold.
"W-what?" Jessica groaned waking up.
"Relax." Ymir said.
Norman ran over and helped Beverly up who was waking up.
"Did we land?" Beverly asked.
"You could say that." Norman said.
Aizen looked outside and seen they were in the thick forest.
Suddenly Storks linkpearl was chattering and Deidara took it and answered it.
"This is Deidara." Deidara said.
There was a little bit of chatter before Deidara handed it to Aizen.
"We crashed, keep going to the Elf capital, we will be there soon." Aizen said.
Aizen hung it up and put it back in Storks ear.
"Tousen what do you think?" Aizen asked.
"We need to get our barings." Tousen said.
Tousen ran outside and climbed up a tree as quickly as he could right up to the top and looked around before climbing back down.
"Well I know we have to go north from here but it's quite a walk." Tousen said.
Granz and Sasori returned from inspecting the damage.
"What's the situation?" Aizen asked.
"She can still fly but it will take a while for repairs." Sasori said.
Stork woke up and immediately ran outside kissing the damaged side of his ship.
"It's okay baby, I'm here." Stork said.
Aizen sighed.
"I will help Stork with the repairs." Sasori said headed over to Stork.
"I will help them out in case they need extra strength." Yammy said walking over to them.
Aizen looked at Tousen.
"Help them out okay?" Aizen asked.
"The rocket pods must be Elves." Tousen suggested.
"I agree. Which means they might have alerted their people already if they got linkpearls." Aizen said.
"They probably think we are dead- that gives us an upperhand." Tousen said.
"Sir you may want to come look at this!" Itachi shouted from outside.
Aizen ran out and looked at Itachi and then looked at what he was looking at which was some strange statue.
"This looks like the statue from Taverley. One that they call Guthix?" Pain said walking up with Starrk.
"There is also some sort of Elf message on the tree beside it. Looks old too." Itachi said.
"Does anyone know Elf language?" Aizen asked.
No one answered and just looked amongst themselves.
