To the pirate, boats be boats. They all sailed back and fourth (some faster and plainly better than others) on the waves in the open sea. It was quite a new concept for a boat to sail so fast--but to sail upwards was unheard of

The second voyage - or rather, flight - on this ship seemed to go far more smoothly than the previous one. Understandable, considering that its owner surely had a much better idea of how to navigate it, unlike a certain pirate. The speed at which the vessel travelled was impressive, even if its altitude was something one needed to take more time adjusting to. Norrington crossed his arms, throwing another glance out one of the nearby windows

It was a new experience for all of them save for Touma, so while the space was cramped, Will was in a fantastic mood. It was strange that they would be leaving all familiar ground behind, but the thought of heading somewhere new and important was also rather exhilarating. Having craftily seated himself near the window, Will was pressed against the window, staring out at the ocean that was quickly growing farther and farther away.
As they flew higher into the sky, what would happen? The possibilities were dizzying.
Even though five of them were all in a confined space, no one seemed to be talking. Will turned from the window. Jack was busy with that monkey that had somehow sneaked on, Touma was piloting, and Norrington was brooding... Which left Elizabeth. She was his first choice for conversation, anyway.
"I never thought I'd go from being a blacksmith to doing something like this," he said with a boyish smile. He'd thought past events had made him mature, but when it came to something so new, so spectacular... Well, maybe he

There were no words Elizabeth could find to sum up the situation as she cautiously peered out the window. Higher and higher they went, until she could see all of Port Royal and the waters around it. It was dazzling. It was amazing. It was making Elizabeth just a tad queasy.
Taking that as a hint to take a break from the window, she dared to glance at each member, though they were all so close to one another it was hardly needed. She had only just begun examining the walls around them when she caught sight of a familiar furball.
"How did--" Elizabeth stopped, glaring at the monkey. No, there would probably be no answer to that question.
Will's excitement quickly pushed thoughts of the monkey away. Smiling, she chanced another peek out the window. "I never thought such a thing possible. We're flying!"
Even if it did make her a little dizzy, it was worth it.
The familiarity of piloting calmed Touma. Though he had a lot more people inside than he was used to, he couldn't just leave them to die in Port Royal.
With a quick confirmation of Hallow Bastion's coordinates, he turned Tenku in that direction. The sooner he got them to the safety of that world, the better. That it would be sooner for him to use their resources for his own research was...okay, it wasn't secondary. It was his main goal. His world still had hope....
He ignored the commotion behind him - something about a monkey. As long as it didn't chew on anything important, then he wasn't too concerned.
