Auld Lanxiety - Chapter 6: Auld Lanxiety - Episode 2

Confronted among the clouds by a gun-wielding Zooey, the Joya drops its hostages. Before Aoidos and Bakura can plummet to their doom, Mahira appears aboard her new airship and catches them. Relieved, Zooey heads to the cosmos for the final showdown.

---

Joya: Gooong!
Gooooong!

Aoidos: Let go of me!

Aoidos: I don't have time for a joyride! I have music to make!

Bakura: Oooooh...

Zooey: Stop.

Joya: Gong?
Gooong!

Zooey: Release those people.

Zooey: The skies will not fall to negativity. Your plan has failed.

Joya: Gooong!
Gooooong!

Zooey: If you won't listen to reason, you leave me no choice.

Zooey: I'm not the same opponent you faced before.

The fugitive Joya holds its hostages under one arm and a log in its other hand.

Hoping to shake Zooey off and escape to the cosmos, it swings at her with its makeshift weapon.

Zooey: Is that the best you can do?

Zooey counters its attack with ease and sends the log flying.

Joya: Gong!

Zooey: Release your hostages or else.

Zooey levels her gun at the Joya and fires. The bullet grazes the bell.

Joya: !

Zooey: That was a warning shot. The next won't miss.

Joya: Gooong!
Gooooong!

Floating far above the clouds, the Joya senses it has met its match. It lifts its arm and releases its two hostages.

Still tangled together, Aoidos and Bakura plummet through empty air.

Zooey: !

Zooey takes off after them as fast as she can.

The Joya seizes the opportunity to escape, making for the cosmos.

Aoidos: Never have I experienced such a thrill, felt so truly alive!

Aoidos: Not once!

Bakura: Ooooargh!

Aoidos: Ahhhhh!

Zooey: (Can I save them in this skydweller body?)

???: Zooooey!

Zooey: ...!

Mahira: Swoosh!

Zooey: Mahira! Everybody!

Mahira: Leave Aoidos and Bakura to us!

Mahira: Clucky-Doodle, deploy net!

The crew is riding Mahira's latest invention. A huge net shoots out below the little airship.

Aoidos: Huh?

Zooey: What a relief...

Zooey: Thank you, Mahira. Is this what you've been working on?

Mahira: Yes. This is my midsize airship, the Clucky-Doodle.

Mahira: I didn't want you to go to the cosmos alone, so I really burned the midnight oil to finish it.

Mahira: We're comrades, Zooey. We're in this together.

Zooey: Mahira...

Anila: That's our Mahira!

Vajra: There's nothing you can't do!

Andira: It's not just an airship! It's built to reach the cosmos, so—

Lyria: Huh? Did you hear that?

Mahira: Uh-oh... Looks like we've exceeded the weight limit.

Mahira: I designed it to carry the four Divine Generals, (Captain), Lyria, and Vyrn...

Mahira: I didn't provide for any extra passengers.

Andira: What? What's gonna happen, then?

Vajra: Are we gonna crash?

Mahira: We'll have to make an emergency landing.

Andira: Whaaat!

Mahira: Don't worry. We have extra fuel, so we won't crash.

Mahira: I guess we can't go with you after all, Zooey.

Mahira: We'll get these two to safety. The rest is up to you!

Vajra: Show that bell what you're made of, Zooey!

Zooey: I will. Its rampage has gone on long enough.

Zooey: It's time for me to do my duty and restore balance.
