Aboard the Airship~

Mana: *is tumbling through the air, trying to fly around but failing* THAT SUGGESTION- *narrowly dodges a stray item* WOULD HAVE BEEN MOST HELPFUL *hits the window but rebounds* A FEW MOMENTS AGO! BUT I CAN TRY! *her hat appears in her hand in a shower of pink sparkles and she pulls out the sky blue extreme gear, but she struggles to open the extreme gear amidst all the tossing and turning in the air* NYAAAAAH! OOOPEEEEN!!

Whip: HURRY UP MANA!
*Whip catches on to the now-horizontal flooring with his feet and run along its side as if it were a wall. He jumps from it onto Mana's jumbled-tossed-around form and hangs onto the extreme gear along with her*
Whip: OPEN! OPEN!
*Whip kicks at it in frustration*

Mana: *from the combination of Whip's sudden weight and force plus a bad jostle from the aircraft, the extreme gear slips out of her hands* WHIP!!

Whip: WHOOPS!
*Whip lunges for it, but considering his lack of traction, doesn't come anywhere close to it. Yuna makes a leap for it from behind a counter, to no avail, and Rikku bounds from her head after the gear, which fails as well. Sugar hops up from what was once the roof of the airship but now serves as the bottom, and clings onto it with her jacket sleeve*
Sugar: I've got it! I've got it!

*the extreme gear opens up and turns on*
Mana: Ah! Watch out Sugar! It's on!

Sugar: .....Eh?
*The gears flies off with her holding on, screaming the whole time as it swirls around the already-chaotic airship. She slams her legs into Whip on a pass and loudly apologizes to him, but the gear swerves and crashes into Mana. The force behind the gear sends them both flying into the elevator, which then closes around them*
Sugar: Oof! Ah! I'm sorry Mana!

Mana: @.@ It's ookaaaay... *shakes her head and nods to Sugar, determined* We'll do it together!

Sugar: Ah!? T-together!? B-but-
*The elevator opens up to the top, outside deck, and the gear, almost sensing the opening, bursts off again, dragging the two girls with it*
Sugar: I-I'M AFRAID OF HEEEEEEEEEIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHTS!

Mana: *takes control of the gear and dashes down towards the fiend* (over the wind) Sorry Sugar!! Just try and hang on and focus on the fiend! *quickly approaches the fiend and throws an energy bolt at the chain* We'll hit it here!

*The chain jostles from the bolt, but doesn't quite snap*
Sugar: Focu....focus.....not high....focus....
*Sugar closes her eyes, trying to calm her hyperventilating the way Mana taught her as she hands on to both the gear and Mana for dear life*
Sugar: Chain.... Focus on the chain!
*Sugar shakily pulls out a circular canteen and throws its contents at the chain. It hardens instantly into ice, which makes the section of chain seem more brittle. She runs out of assistance to offer and uses both hands to grip onto Mana*

Mana: Thanks Sugar! *holds her hand up in the air and balls it into a fist, a pink energy surrounding it* Try this on for size! *punches the air, to which the energy launches off and enlarges to the size of the area that the ice surrounds and hits it with a shattering force*

*The chain snaps very loudly, and the harpoon, which previously hung below, simply drops to the land below. The Airship, now not having to compensate for the extra weight, rights itself up very quickly and, in the process, forcefully smacks the extreme gear with it's side. Sugar cries out in fear*

Mana: Ack! *attempts to right the extreme gear, but it fails to realign itself, and when Mana looks back, she sees that part of the extreme gear has been damage* Crap on a stick! *quickly maneuvers with fancy movements to kick the extreme gear into her hat and, when she sees that it succeeds, she grabs Sugar by the waist and tries to haul her up back to the ship; however, Mana's arm strength isn't that great, and she starts huffing from the sheer effort* Ha...! Ha...! Okay! *pulls out her wand when Sugar starts slipping* Aeon! Aeon please! *lets the two fall for a bit so she doesn't lose her grip on Sugar and she waves her wand a little frantically* AEON WOULD BE NICE!

*As the two fall, three symbols light themselves around Mana and give off pillars of light. The symbols transform into flowers, and from it, bud [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] that begin to fly downwards along their descent. The eldest one speaks, though again, it's through Mana's mind only*
: You called, dear~?

Mana: *has taken to hugging Sugar tightly with her eyes shut, afraid of the fall* HELP! AIRSHIP! GROUND! WHATEVER! HELP PLEASE!

*The tallest sister puts her finger to her mouth in thought*
: Hmmm..... I'm not sure.... what do you think, Mindy?
Mindy: Naaah. I like freefalling better, Sandy~
Sandy: And you, Cindy~?
Cindy: I agree with Mindy~
*Sandy shrugs to Mana*
Sandy: Sorry~

Mana: W-WHAT?! HUWAAAAAH, I KNEW I SHOULD'VE JUST SUMMONED BLACK ROSE!!

Sandy: What, you think that flowery dragon could save you better than the Magus Sisters~?
Cindy: Nobody can save anybody better than the Magus Sisters~!
Mindy: We'll show you~!
*The three sisters dash farther below the two falling girls, spiraling very quickly. Mindy and Sandy take a hold of their more shapely sister and stretch her out so that her stomach blocks the descent of Mana and Sugar. They are immediately tramopline'd from her stomach, skyrocketing into the air and all the way above the Airship, until their arc of descent lands them back onto the deck. Sugar never stops gripping Mana*

Mana: *her teeth are chattering violently as her frame quakes, face pale* T-T-Thank you...

*The three of them fly alongside the airship, waving to Mana*
Sandy: Don't be afraid to call on us again~
Mindy: We'll be glad to help~
Cindy: --If we feel like it~
*The three of them burst into pyreflies*

Mana: *collapses on the deck, still shaking* I-I'll move... When I s-s-stop shaking...

*Sugar seems to share Mana's sentiment, though she apparently can't even muster the courage to talk. Footsteps approach the two, and the sources begin to talk*
Whip: C'mon you two! A little free-falling, and suddenly it's too much to handle~
Rikku: Hey, they did a great job! Let's help them inside!
*Rikku nudges Mana*
Rikku: Come on Mana. Do you need help?

Mana: I-I'll be right there... *rolls onto her stomach, as if she's going to get up, but stays there for a moment* ...Y-Yup. Right... there... *her head thunks on the deck floor again*

*Rikku giggles again*
Rikku: Right. You're just up and at 'em, huh?
*Rikku shakes her head and easily lifts Mana carefully. Meanwhile, Whip does the same to his sister, though... much less carefully. For some reason, though, even though her face is riddled with intense fear, she doesn't scream, or indeed make any noises as Whip carries her*
Whip: C'mon Rikku. Let's bring these babies inside~ As if falling out of an airship is such a big deal... I've done it before...
*Rikku and Whip both reenter the airship's elevator, passengers in tow*

Mana: *is apparently used to being carried around everywhere now so she doesn't put up a fight or throw a hissy fit* (to Whip) That's because you're used to being thrown out of a window in my hotel.
