Found some time to make a small chapter
STORYThe ship was out of control. The spinning was lurching the four around the locked room.
“We’ve got to find a way out,” shouted Mary Cow. She unsheathed her hench sword and started beating the walls with it. A shudder jerked the weapon out of her hand and the spinning metal joined itself to the ruckus.
Alex Starfade dodged the blade, which missed him by mere centimetres and planted itself into the already broken pipe. He grabbed onto the sword and steadied himself. Repairing the pipe could stop the flow of steam and save them all. Arjahn Mjakhim had had the same idea and looked around for something to block the hole. A sudden thought hit him – He could use the corpse that was flying around and place a limb into the breach to stop the outpour. He reached for the corpse and pulled it towards the pipe. Pulling a hand towards him, he stuffed it into the hole.
The steam stopped flowing. The juddering slowed down and the ship stopped spinning. Alex gave a cry of triumph at Arjahn’s success and turned to give the good news to the others who had stopped flying around the room.
A hand came out of nowhere and slapped him across the face, followed by a burning sensation. The pressure had been too much for the corpse’s hand and it had come shooting back out.
“This is getting out of hand,” said Arjahn Mjakhim. He removed some explosives from his belt and placed them on the door.
“Are you mad ?” cried Zaliphone. “The blow from that will kill us for sure !”
“Don’t be so sure,” replied Arjahn, “even without a mask, I could survive this explosion.” And he pressed a button on his belt. A soft explosion was heard and smoke filled the room.
Coughing, Alex Starfade went towards the door. He banged on the door which didn’t budge.
“Well that worked really well,” said Mary Cow.
She unjammed her sword from the pipe, just as the ship began to spin and judder once again, the sound of creaking and snapping metal all around them. With it, she started cutting at the walls again.
“That’s useless,” said Zaliphone, flying past her head and hitting the right-hand wall.
Even as he said those words, a rip appeared in the wall. The hench sword had struck true. A small hole appeared.
“No-one could possibly get out of there,” snorted Alex Starfade, “and anyway, you get out and you fall to your death.”
“Think again,” answered Mary Cow. She dived out of the window and stroked her lush beard thrice and thrice again. A sudden electricity coursed through the hairs and they started spinning. Faster and faster they went until they turned into a whirring blur.
“So long, losers !” she cried, as the helibeard rocketed her away from the ship.
Flying to a safe distance, she observed the scene before her. The massive ship was smoking and was, as felt, in a spinning nosedive. The ground was getting closer and closer and small forms could be seen jumping from the ship. “At that height,” she mused, “they would not survive”.
As that thought went through her mind, it collided with solid ground. The ships sheer size made it seem so slow. The front collapsed into itself, the aircraft’s weight driving it into the ground. An explosion ripped through the ship’s canvas and engulfed the craft in a ball of flames…
Everyone's trying to get out of the room. Alex Starfade gets smacked by the corpses hand after Arjahn tries to block the outpour of steam with the corpse. Mary Cow manages to slice her way out with her hench sword and uses her helibeard to fly away. The airship collides with the ground and is engulfed in a ball of flames
