Pliny turned on the lights in the dresser room aboard the airship, she walked in the room with her luggage and looked around the room, nothing in the room but a dresser with a mirror and chair but there is a closet. Yun check what was inside, she reaches the handle twisting the node to open the door.
"Oh, of course it's empty..." Pliny Yun muttered. "This is going to take me an hour to set this place up." She slammed the closet door.
One hour later.
"Finally..." The red polar bear girl sighed as laid on the carpet floor. Pliny got back up, brush off her red skirt, she still wore her red dress "Now onward to the make-up storage~!" She skipped to the table. Pliny sat on the chair and looked at herself in the mirror. On the top right there is a photo of the Snow Cat model, Neige Taicho. Pliny check her white face with long red hair, and her velvet eyes, the small bruise from her left cheek are already healing. She sighed in relief it was glad that Milla had stopped her rampage from Shang Mu but she was also glad that her figure wasn't all mess up in the processes, Pliny begin to brush her hair with her favorite brush.
Pliny herded a knock on the door across the room.
"Enter"
Creek open Pliny see the hound girl Milla through the mirrors reflection. She turned around to greet her "Oh, hey Milla!"
"Hey Pliny, sorry to bother you I-I just want to cheek up to see how you been – wow did you decorated the whole room? It looks so lovely~!" Milla cooed, glancing at the various dresses, shoes and makeup.
"Thanks, I'm glad that you like what I've done to the place, it really means a lot."
"You welcome. It's just an hour to meet someone who is good at decorating and one of my favorite idols. Hey, mind if I look around the dresser room?"
"Sure go crazy. I'm just here comb my hair before I go to bed."
"Yay cool thanks, I'm going to check in the closest," and with that Milla went inside. Lilac and Carol walk in casually in the dressier room to check up on the new girl in their group.
"I've got to say, I like what you done in this room," Lilac smiled to the magician.
"Thanks!"
Carol walk up to the female magician noticing the photo on the mirror.
"Neige Taicho? Isn't she like the glorified fashion designer and model in red dragon magazine?" Carol ask with her arms crossed.
"Yeah, why?" Pliny glance at the Wild Cat girl.
"Oh nothing..."
"I'd actually meet her at art class and we became friends ever since. She good at designing some cloths for the play I was in."
"Really what did you play as?" Carol grinded.
"I'd played as the Demon Empress Tali." Pliny giggled.
"Wow, so you guys are reenacting the old tale back then? That's so cool!"
"EEK- Hey guys check out this wonderful dress." Lilac, Carol and Pliny turned their attention to Milla carried a red dress which is somewhat identical to one Pliny is wearing but without the gold braces and darker shade of red.
Lilac and Milla was at awe at the new red dress while Carol was all 'meh'.
"Hey Pliny can you try it on? It would so well on you," Milla said.
"Um, gee I don't know, I haven't even worn it yet… maybe tomorrow." Pliny said with a slight blush.
"Aw come on Pliny it looks great! Now don't tell me that you are afraid to ware something new like Carol." Lilac teased.
"Hey," Carol protested.
"It's not like that. It's just that… I'm just tired that all," Pliny said with a sigh.
"Yeah it is getting awfully late we should all get to bed," Lilac said yawning. Carol yawned as well and Milla hang up the dress she was carrying. Carol bid them good night, Pliny said the same as she left the room.
"Um, Pliny."
"Yeah."
"At some point can I watch you performed those magic?" Milla ask shyly.
"Well of course Milla. You did save my life back at Shang Mu, I'll performed it first thing tomorrow morning!"
"Really? That's great! Thank you, just be careful not to strain yourself," Milla said with a bow.
"Yeah, I'll try to be careful next time," Pliny said with a warm full smile.
"Well um, I should be going to bed now, good night Pliny."
"Good night Milla." Pliny replied back to Milla.
With that Milla left the dresser room.
"You know Pliny after this is over and if things still don't work out in Shang Mu your always welcome to our tree house."
"Thanks but I'm alright." As Pliny resumed to brushing her hair.
"I mean force leave your home like that? It must be hard…"
Pliny Yun paused for a moment, then resumed to her grooming, "It wasn't that hard, as I've already said there's nothing left for me in the Kingdom. Let just hope we get back the Kingdom Stone as soon as possible."
The dragon girl was surprised at the magician's sudden icy tone but nodded, "Right well… good night."
"Night."
Shurigang air battleship
Serpentine laugh as has turned on hologram stream, the screen reveals Lord Brevon.
"What is it?" Brevon demanded through the hologram with his arms crossed.
It's all most daylight my league, it a perfect day for our perfect triumph. I may not have the Kingdom Stone but I have captured the one that knows the exact whereabouts of the Stone." Serpentine said trumpitley.
"Ah, I was beginning to wonder about your absence. I have no interest for more prisoners and besides we now have an alternative power source," Brevon show a hologram of a red jewel that looks like the Kingdom Stone.
Serpentine eyes widen like dinder plates in shock, "W-what I didn't… how –"
"I will tell you as soon as you returned to base," Brevon said firmly.
"B-but what of the prisoners in the ship?"
The hologram stream turned off as soon as Serpentine asked that question.
"Sshaa…! This is all that Street Rats doing, that cursed-"
The shrill of the alram went off.
"WHat they're escaping! Imposable!" Serpentine left the flight deck.
As soon as Serpentine arrived at the flight deck he can see a plane just left into the horizon.
"Impossible!" he exclaimed. They left with one of the planes from the lower hanger deck.
"Keep you mechanical arms I'm not going anywhere."
Serpentine glance at the direction of the voice only to see that street rat, leaning at the sail poll. "What? Your still here!"
Spade shrugged off "That got to be the worse trap you sprung on me yet. I even let those two girls hitch a ride on a plane to escape."
Serpentine growled and pointed his blaster gun at Spade. "You're going to regret that you done that, you swine!"
Spade took on his fighting stance at his opponent. But before that fighter they herd huge flapping sounds, they both glace at a giant mechanical green peacock heading their way.
The bird and his rider landed, "Well, well, well Spade it's a pleasant surprised," Spoke up Price Dail of Shuigang to his hafe brother as he jumped off the bird.
"Well its nice to see you too..." Spade said.
"I was going to informed General Serpentine that we have spotted one of Zoe's airships heading towers my kingdom. But now that you're here; have you found more evecnate to our father killer?" Prince Dail inquired.
Spades mind went back at what Lilac hand told him about the King. "In due time. Oh and By the way I was captured by this guy, he think I have something to do with the Kingdom Stone that he lost."
"You just like to play games you little twit and you let those brats get away!" Serpentine protested.
"Yeah? Well those 'brats' are the only means to spring that trap on me." Spade retorts.
"Enough! I have no interest in both of you useless squabbling. Now are you ready to put a stop to that worm Zoe or I'll have to find someone else to do the job?"
Both Sade and Serpentine nodded in replay the snake nodded hastily. This pleased Dail.
Whail Lilac, Carol, Milla, and Pliny are sleeping they heard a loud sound and rocked the airship.
Carol fell off her bed "What's going on?!"
Torque rush in their living quarters "Shoot! We got to disable those Ships or we're toast!"
The four girls and Torque ran up outside the ship.
"Milla, Pliny both of you take the earth ship!" the hound girl and red polar bear girl nodded and hoped on the cruiser platform "Lilac, Carol; one of you will have to board the fire and metal ship!"
Got it, I'll take the fire ship!" Lilac exclaimed.
"I'm going after the metal ship!" Carol said.
Lilac reached the fire ship to take down the guns. She encountered a hopper. She jumped kicked the robot midair. She ran, avoiding the ships mini guns fire, then suddenly a Rotorblade was chasing her, so she ran fast. She speeded to run to the nearest wall and leaped, she landed on the wall on her feet, for a second, and then she jumped to assess her spinning cyclone directly at the Rotorblade, her foot knocked out its mono eye. The rest of its body crash into the wall and broke into pieces.
Lilac ran inside the ships hail avoiding the many flamethrowers, she jumped to a platform to platform, though the swarrlalling platform gives Lilac a headache sometimes. After she made it out she encountered Spade again.
"You just don't know when to fold, do you?"
"Don't you get it!? Lord Brevon's the murder!"
"Thanks for the tip. Now get of our ship or I'll throw you over board!"
"Like that'll happen!"
"Oh well. Don't say I didn't warn you!"
The Wall climber mount attack one of the two intruders with its electric bolt attack. Milla jumped forward to avoid the bolt. She summoned her green block and threw it at the robot. The robot avoided the projectile by moving up the ceiling and attacked again with a crystal pillar. The pillar fall in the floor and a wave of crystals sprouted out of the ground.
Milla jumped over the crystals, landed on the pillar. The pillar moved up to where the wall climber mount is. Milla summoned her green block again, but this time she mentally turned it into a green beam of energy, the beam blast through the robot, and it shot circuit the robot.
The hound girl landed softly on the floor. Pliny ran to her side. "Are right one more time! Hopefully it'll work!" The magician looks up, she aimed her hand at the machine and close her eyes; she mentally thinks of lightning.
A blue energy ball, from Pliny's hand, she transformed the ball into a beam. It shoots through the robot. The robot fell down. Milla and Pliny moved out-of-the-way. They looked at the wreckage. Smoke filled the area, for a short wail; the fan turbines got rid of the smoke.
The closed entry to the armory slide opens just now.
"Are you okay?" Milla ask her idol.
"I'm fine. What about you?" Pliny ask worriedly.
Milla nodded in reply. "Now we shut down the cannons, right?"
Pliny Shook her head.
"We're supposed to destroy those cannons, Milla. If we turned off those cannons and leave then someone would turned them back on." Pliny said pointing at the armory. Recalling on what the shell- um, alien had told them.
Milla blushed response, "Oh right of course. But how are we going to the canons without blowing up ourselves?"
"I dabble in pyrotechnics. Leave it to me~!" She said with a slyness tone as she ran inside the armory. Milla smiled and followed suit.
Lilac Moved forward in a handstand twirl and knocked out Spade off the flight deck.
The dragon girl ran up the edge to see if he actually flew off.
"Beginners luck!" Spade said to Lilac as he is hanging on to the chopper.
"Spade wait!" but it was too late the chopper with Spade lifted the battle field.
Lilac notice the bottom entrance to the armory is now open. She claimed downed to see the cannons auto firing. She use her various tendrils whips to the ships cannons, it wasn't soon that all of the cannons were destroyed by her attacks.
Tourque showed up with the plane. "Good job Lilac now hope on!"
Lilac nodded and hoped on the backseat.
Lilac see's all of her friends onboard Zoe's airship safe and sound as they landed.
Lilac ran up to the three girls, "I'm glad that you guys are okay."
"Yeah were okay, nothing to worry about!" Carol grinned.
The group heard a couple of explosions. They looked to see the earth ship on fire and plummeting down to the ground.
"Pliny and I took out the cannons." Milla spoke up.
"Well… looks like I over did It."
Lilac glance at the magician, "Wait, you did this?"
"Yea. They have some really explosives stuff on board." Pliny put her hand on her hip.
"Nice one."
"Guys! I spotted something heading towards us. It's coming in fast!" Tourqe excaimed.
A giant green peacock slam onto the flight deck, Lilac and Co ran up to the bird and it apperd it had a rider. It Prince Dali.
"You will face justice, surrender!"
"Not a chance!"
"So you all have chosen death, how pathetic!" The Prince sneered.
The cyber peacock flew upwards into the sky, it made a corkscrew, then dived back down. The bird headed towered the group. They quickly avoided the enemy, Tourqe use his blaster gun at the cyber peacock, but the bird every shot.
The robot plummets back down, Tourqe charged up his blaster gun. The cyber peacock down on the flight deck, Tourqe quickly rolled to evaded and made his point blank fire at Prince Dali. The plasma fire blew of two of its tail feathers.
Prince Dali retilateded by activated the birds laser beams wail swoopping down again. "You intalinet worm. Behold my true power!" but Lilac jumped up and kicked down at the bird, which damaged it.
Tourqe fired at the bird once more and it took five hits. Tourqe was expending the robot to swep back down again but the bird charged up its laser, the bird open it mouth.
"Everybody watch out"
As soon it charged up a pink blast ball hit the pecoks head, its causes the bird mout function.
"Nice shot Torque." Carol said.
"Thank but were not out of the woods just yet."
The cyber Peacock made one last swoop, but Lilac use her dragon boost. She successfully damaged the robots body one last time. The robot body cracked and trailing in smoke.
Prince Dali was not happy "This isn't far from over!" shouted wail he flew away along with the rest of the ships along with Prince Dali of Shuigan.
"Yeah! There finally backing off!" Lilac cheered along with her friends.
5 minutes later Jade Creek, Jungle.
Zoe's airship began to fall. Lilac and friends holding on to their dear life. The ship crash landed in to a river. Carol clings on to the sail rope, Pliny and Milla all wet with all the splash of water. Milla shook herself to dry and Pliny announce that she's going to get chang.
"Huh. So that's why your airships are bout-shap…" Tourqe cometed.
Lilac jumped out of the water.
"How could Zao do this?"
"He must of thought we were he needed."
"We would've been ready if he had told us. No wonder Brevon's gotten away with everything. Our leaders too brain-dead to pay attention to anything but themselves!" Lilac rant died shortly, "Never mind. I'm just… I don't know." She said softly.
"It's all right." torque looked out in the disttness then look back at Lilac. "How far is the closest city?"
"Shang Tu is just a few miles east. The river should take us there."
Tourqe look out again, "We'll give that Panda guy an update on our situation. The mastister might be able to help."
"I hope he believe us…" Lilac said worriedly.
Milla sate on to lege of the ship, scratching her ears. Lilac waked up to her.
"Things have been pretty crazy so far huh?"
"Yeah..."
"How long have you been away from your parents?"
"I'm not sure… it feels like a really long time."
"And you been alone in the woods ever since?"
Milla nodded, "Yeah…"
"I hope the doesn't sound weird, but… that's kind of impressive. I wouldn't survive a day without my treehouse."
"Hey... When this is all over, how about wee have a girls' night out? Just you, me and Pliny?"
"You mean... a playdate?"
"Something like that. We could try out some dresses, or maby buy a huge plat of sushi and just pig out."
"What about Carol? Can she come too?"
"Good luck getting her to put a dress on."
Milla laughter in response, and lance her fingers, "Well, sure! I'd like that!"
"So, uh, how did you two meet anyway? A green cat and a purple dragon girl seem like a weird mix."
"Yeah. We were part of a street gang called the Red Scarves. We used to make crazy money form martial arts tournaments." Carol grinned.
"Is that where you met Spade?"
"Yep. He was cool at first, but, uh... things got weird."
"Why?"
"Well, there's... there's lines we don't cross. And he crossed 'em."
"If Spade is a Prince Dail's brother, doesn't that make him a Prince Too?"
"I guess so. He never talked about it."
"Look everyone the city!" Carol and Torque look at the horizon to see the beautiful city of Shang Tu. Milla ran all fours wail Lilac walked up to see the city.
20 minutes later. Jade Creek, jungle.
Ting and Chufai, pushing their plane through a pathway through the bamboo jungle.
"Man, I never thought that thing would run out of gas already!" Chufai complained, pushing on the right wing. She glance at Ting, "I'm so grateful that I'd land safely this time…"
"This time? I hope you didn't hurt yourself trying to tame these flying contraptions…" Ting glance at her panda girl companion.
Chufai shook her head in replied.
"My uncle showed me some flight lessons. It was a virtual test at my school, I'd fail twice." Chufai smiled sheepishly. "Mayor Zao wanted to bank on flying cars of the future, and we have to take flying lessons."
Ting giggled "Oh my, flying cars?"
Chufai slowly nodded.
Ting and Chufai started laughing at the thought. Soon after the laughter, "Hey look! There's Song Lake, which means ware close to the town!" Chufai exclaimed, ran on up to the lake. Ting White followed her.
Jade Creek, Song Lake town
The lake is as beautiful as Chufai saw it on TV; the lake glittered in the sunlight, falling pink petals from the tress, and a fisher boat sailing across. "Oh my gosh, this place is so appealing~! It better than I thought it was!"
Ting look at the towering shrine and several houses and buildings 'thing have changed a lot since I last been here' she thought. "Yeah this place does look pretty."
"I know, can you believe it!? It's so pretty! I'm so grateful that I have my GPS with me!"
Ting just smiled at her panda companion. She walked up closer to the water to stare at her reflection, Ting pick up a pebble and threw at the lake, Chufai joined her.
"Sooo about this Spade guy, how much do you know about him?" Chufai ask wail threw a pebble.
"Oh, I don't know him much, but days ago he pulled me out of this lake and he brought me to Shang Mu."
"Really?"
Ting White nodded.
"Well to clarify, I followed him to Mayor's place at the Kingdom. I'm surprised that Zao and Ming Zu were quick to know who I am and let me live in the palace. Me and Spade we gone our separate ways afterward." Tings brows frowned.
"Yeah I figured as much, very interesting hehe." Chufai grinded. "I bet that the Mayor of Shang Mu would be scrambling everywhere to find us."
Ting laughed, "I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case. We'll break time over we should head to the village right now."
Chufai stretched, "We definitely should."
The two girls went back to the plane and pushed the plane onward to the village. Suddenly, three cloaked figures with armor riding motorcycles showed up and circled the girl and their plane.
After they stopped circling, presumably the leader spoke "Well, well, well look what we have here?"
"W-who are you guy?" Ting ask with a hint of concern.
"These guys are the red Scarves…" Chufai said rolling her eyes.
Ting was about to replied-
"Darn right we're the red Scarves! Now how about you give us that plane, your crystals and your money!"
Chufai smilingly shrugged "Sorry guys we really don't have anything, how about you lets us though."
The bickers Ninjas laughed. "And what if we say 'no'?"
"You really don't have a choice at the matter, I've learned how to fight losers like you guys," She sticks out her tongue at the bickers.
"We'll see about that! Let's get Em!" ~Room~ Room~ The bickers charged at the panda girl, with their motor bikes.
Chufai sprinted and jumped kicked at the first biker, knocking the Scarves member out. Another bicker with a baseball bat charged at her, the biker made his swing, but the panda girl ducked. Chufai grabbed the biker's arm and spin the thief around until finally she frow him to the large thick bamboo.
Chufai cast a glare at the last frighten bicker. "Heheh.. Retreat, retreat!" the bicker road back on the away from the two strangers followed by the other two previously defeated bicker companions.
As the bikers lifted, "Chu, that was amazing! I didn't knew you learn Kung Fu!" Ting ran up to her friend.
it's nothing, I've learned it from my dad." Chufai brow frowned and scratch the back of her head.
"Your dad? Is he a Kung Fu master?"
"I'll tell you more it on the way. Hey I can even tell you some kung Fu move I've learn once we get to Song Town." Chufai smiled.
"It's a deal!" It best for the green haired Kyrin Dancer and her friend to press onward to the town before more thief showed up.
