Andira's Journey to the Sky
Andira is interested in a request to check out a nearby mountain covered in flame and convinces the crew to investigate. En route she begins grooming (Captain)'s hair, but a monster suddenly interrupts.
Some time has passed since Andira joined (Captain)'s crew.
She appears to have taken to life on the airship like a duck to water.
Vyrn: Hey, Andira! Wake up, ya sleepyhead!
Vyrn has come to wake up Andira, who has yet to appear from her cabin despite it being well after noon.
Andira: I'm awake... Just five more minutes...
Vyrn: You said that yesterday, then stayed in bed until evening!
Andira: Thanks, I knew you'd understand...
Vyrn: You're not listening to a word I'm saying, are you?
Lyria: Hee hee... I don't think anything or anyone can get between Andira and her sleep.
(Captain) turns up to see what's going on.
(Captain) snorts at the sight of Andira still clinging to her pillow.
Andira: Huh? Oh, it's you, (Captain).
Andira: Yawn... Good timing. I was just about to get up.
Andira slides off her cloud toward (Captain), anchored by her tail.
She dangles in midair, still half asleep.
Vyrn: What the?
The crew is discussing their next destination when Andira interjects.
She mentions a mountain covered in brilliant flame. Where does the fire come from? Andira wants to find out.
Andira: Hey, hey! I wanna go here!
Andira's enthusiasm is enough to convince the crew to head straight for the mountain.
(Captain) and Andira are out on the deck of the airship, whiling away the hours by basking in the sun.
Andira: That's a bad case of bedhead you got there...
Andira: Oh no, look! A split end!
Andira starts grooming (Captain) as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
Andira: Your fur still isn't quite fluffy enough for my liking, (Captain).
A monster's roar interrupts their moment of tranquility.
Andira: Seriously? Talk about annoying.
Andira: Let's clear these monsters out quick!
Andira's Journey to the Sky: Scene 2
(Captain) and crew arrive at the flaming mountain. Andira reveals that her interest stems from a legend about her ancestor visiting such a place with a monk named Tripitaka. As they approach, their way is blocked by two ruffians named Gold Horn and Silver Horn.
The crew arrives at an unusual mountain with one side in flames.
Vyrn: Andira, why did this job interest you so much?
Andira: One of the stories about my ancestor sounds a lot like this.
Andira: It says he visited a fiery mountain with Lord Tripitaka.
Lyria: I see! So you're looking for clues to learn more about that legend?
Andira: Yes. The story's from a long time ago, though, so I doubt I'm going to find much of anything.
The crew continues talking as they proceed towards the place where the flames burn brightest.
???: What business do you lot have here?
Two rough-looking men step out to bar the crew's path.
Andira: We're here to investigate the flaming mountain. Who are you?
???: You don't need to know that. Now turn around and go back the way you came.
Andira: If only we could.
Andira: Unfortunately, we have business of our own to take care of here. Let us through.
???: Very well. Gold Horn, it's time.
Gold Horn: Understood, Silver Horn.
The two men transform into monsters before the crew's eyes.
Vyrn: Whoa, they were monsters the whole time?
Andira: Calm down, everyone. We can handle this.
Lyria: R-right...
Andira: First things first. Let's see what these guys can do, (Captain).
Andira: Here they come!
Andira's Journey to the Sky: Scene 3
The monsters return to their human forms and ask the skyfarers for help stopping their rampaging brother Demon Horn. (Captain) and company agree to take on the frenzied beast.
Gold Horn and Silver Horn are defeated, promptly returning to their human forms and surrendering.
Gold Horn: You... You're not like the other skyfarers we've come across.
Silver Horn: You're right. They might just be able to stop him.
Andira: If something's troubling you, would you be willing to share it with us?
Gold Horn and Silver Horn exchange a long look, then turn to the crew with heads bowed and ask for their help.
(Captain) and the others listen to their story as they continue further into the woods.
Gold Horn: There were three of us originally. But a few months ago our older brother, Demon Horn, started actin' strange.
Silver Horn: The mountain is the way it is because of our brother. He just kinda... went crazy.
Andira: I see.
Gold Horn: He was always a lot stronger than us. There was nothing we could do to stop him.
Silver Horn: That's why we've been keeping travelers away from the mountain. We didn't want anyone else to get hurt.
Gold Horn: Please. Could you help us try to get our brother back under control?
Andira: About that.
Andira seems reluctant to respond to Gold Horn and Silver Horn's desperate request.
Andira: What do you think, (Captain)?
Choose: This sounds like a family matter.
Andira: Right? I think we'd only be getting in the way if we interfered now.
Choose: Maybe there's something we can do.
Andira: Heehee, that's so like you, (Captain).
Andira: Let's think about it a bit more.
Continue 1
Suddenly the ground shakes and the crew is overtaken by an intense wave of searing heat.
Gold Horn: Ngh... Our brother's lost himself completely.
Vyrn: Your brother did that?
Silver Horn: We'll do what we can, but please, you gotta save our brother!
Demon Horn: Groooar!
Andira reacts fearlessly to the appearance of the giant monster and exchanges a knowing glance with (Captain).
Andira: I'll go in first.
(Captain) is slightly concerned about Andira, but she seems confident in her abilities.
Andira: Don't worry. He'll never be able to hit me.
Andira lets out a mischievous laugh.
Andira: I'll distract him. Once you find an opening, hit him with everything you've got, (Captain)!
Lyria: Is she going to be okay?
Demon Horn: Groooar!
Andira: Ngh!
Demon Horn comes in with a massive attack. Andira deftly dodges, dragging Lyria out of the line of fire as she does.
Lyria: Th-thank you...
Andira: Phew. That was close.
Andira: Don't worry, Lyria. Just leave the rest up to me.
Andira spins to face Demon Horn, her Nyoi Bo slicing through the air, nearly the length of her body.
Andira: Hey, over here! I'm the one you're after, big guy!
Andira: As the descendant of the Monkey King, I gladly accept your challenge!
Andira swiftly masters her flash of anger and regains her composure.
Andira: Let's take this guy down!
Andira's Journey to the Sky: Scene 4
(Captain) and crew confront the tireless Demon Horn. Andira uses her magic to clone herself, overwhelming Demon Horn and then turning him back into a human. With the flames on the mountain dying down, Andira feels closer than ever to (Captain) and the crew.
The crew struggles against Demon Horn's seemingly limitless reserves of energy.
Andira: Ugh... We're done for at this rate.
Andira: (Captain), can you take over for a bit?
(Captain) nods, and trades places with Andira to stand in the vanguard.
Andira: I'd rather avoid this when I'm so tired, but...
Andira pulls out a few strands of her hair and blows them softly toward the monster.
Andira: Infinite diversity in infinite combinations... Transform!
Suddenly the scene is swarming with Andiras.
Andira: Here we come!
Before the mysterious light fades, the horde of Andiras strike as one.
One of the Andiras slips past the monster's attacks, removes the headband from her head and places it on Demon Horn's.
Andira: Magic Headband, I order you to bind this creature!
The Monkey King's golden headband tightens its grip on Demon Horn's skull.
As Andira continues with her incantation, Demon Horn slowly begins to shrink, and his appearance gradually reverts to that of a human.
Gold Horn: Brother?
Silver Horn: Brother! You're all right!
Gold Horn and Silver Horn rush to Demon Horn's side.
Demon Horn: Whatever is going on, my brothers?
Andira is filled with a great sense of relief.
Andira: Hahaha... It worked...
That spell seems to have exhausted the last of Andira's strength, and she faints into (Captain)'s arms.
Some time later...
Andira awakens to a gentle rocking sensation.
She sees (Captain)'s back in front of her.
Andira: Yawn... How long was I out?
Vyrn: We still have a ways to go before we get to the ship. You should rest up a bit more!
Andira: I see... You're not going to tell me to get up, Vyrn?
Vyrn: Now why would I do something like that?
Andira: Hee hee... I'm sorry. I was trying to make a joke.
Lyria: Those three brothers were really thankful for what you did back there!
Vyrn: They said the fire on the mountain should start to die down soon too.
Andira: Really? Glad to hear it.
Lyria: Hmm? Is something wrong?
Vyrn: Are you bummed out that we didn't find anything about Tianzhu?
Andira: No... That's not it...
Andira stops herself, then slowly starts up again, eyes downcast.
Andira: You see... I... I'm an only child.
Andira: I was just thinking how nice it must be to have siblings to look out for you.
Looking at Andira's forlorn expression, Lyria hits on an idea.
Lyria: In that case... you can think of me as your sister!
Andira: Huh? Does it really work like that?
Lyria: Sniff... Why wouldn't it?
Lyria: You get along so well with (Captain)... I guess I'm a little jealous too!
Andira: What? There's no need to be!
Andira: I like all of you just as much as (Captain)!
Gran is the Main Character
Lyria: Why don't you try calling (Captain) brother then?
Andira: What? Why would I do that?
Lyria: Don't think about it too much. Just go right ahead and say it. Ready... Go!
Andira: You're acting strange today, Lyria. I don't get what you're trying to say!
Lyria: You're starting to make me feel worse, Andira...
Andira: Okay, I get it! I should... I should just say it!
Lyria: Right! Go ahead, now!
Andira clears her throat and hesitantly begins to speak.
Andira: B... Brother...
Djeeta is the Main Character
Lyria: Why don't you try calling (Captain) sister then?
Andira: What? Why would I do that?
Lyria: Don't think about it too much. Just go right ahead and say it. Ready... Go!
Andira: You're acting strange today, Lyria. I don't get what you're trying to say!
Lyria: You're starting to make me feel worse, Andira...
Andira: Okay, I get it! I should... I should just say it!
Lyria: Right! Go ahead, now!
Andira clears her throat and hesitantly begins to speak.
Andira: S... Sister...
Andira: No! I can't do it! It's too weird!
Lyria: It's not weird! That sounded really natural!
Lyria: Come on. Try it again.
Andira: I told you I can't!
Vyrn and (Captain) share a weary smile as Lyria and Andira argue.
Vyrn: You'd think they would've noticed by now...
Vyrn: They already act exactly like sisters do. Don'tcha think, (Captain)?
(Captain) laughs at Vyrn's observation.
Andira: What are you two laughing at?
Andira: Lyria's out of control! You have to stop her!
Lyria: Hey, where are you going? It's my turn now!
Lyria: Come on, Andira! Call me sister!
From that day forward, Lyria and Andira grew ever closer.
Where will the crew's journey take them next? And how will their relationships evolve? Only time will tell.
