Lt. Falkner had placed them on another airship, and with the soldiers they began sailing towards the dark side. The ride was quiet and tense, and the soldiers spoke among themselves, their conversations hushed and confidential.

At first, it was all sunny skies and smooth sailing but the longer they remained in the air, the shakier the ride became. They didn't know it, but their engine had been sabotaged and just as they crossed the borders, the red warning lights began flashing and the ship rumbled loudly. Because of this, they had to land a few kilometers away from the border. The sky above was a pale lavender and skeleton-like trees were scattered around them.

"I can't believe it," Japhet ran a hand through his hair, a scowl plastered onto his face. "For Celery's sake! They destroyed the fruitcaking engine! This is state of the art tech and they just destroyed it! The motherboard is soaked in flipping HONEY." The mechanic snarled then looked to both Est and Breeze, "can you believe this? It's a good thing those warning lights lit up when they did."

Riley peered over the mechanic's shoulder then frowned. She made her way towards Lesley then nudged him softly with an elbow, "hey, Lesley?" She waited for him to pay attention. "Do you think it's them? Y'know, those guys who rescued us from the Lollipop farm?" She scrunched up her nose as memories of Vincent and how the three of them had gotten to Nowhere together came to mind. "The ones who saved Vinvin from those angry farmers? What to do you think they want? I never thought of them as villains or anything..."

Meanwhile Harper turned to Ace and Inadi, "do you think they're after the rest of our items?" First the witch's heart, and now the USB. He couldn't help but worry. Was this tea party some sort of elaborate plan? Were these troublemakers planning to take the rest of their items? "We won't be able to leave if they do," he sighed, "you guys think we'll be able to take the witch's heart back?" This situation was certainly tricky, if they played their cards right there was a chance they'd be walking away with all their items, but if they messed up, who knew what would happen.

Japhet cursed loudly, "looks like we're going to be walking the rest of the way." Wiping his honey-coated hands on his jeans he turned to Est and Breeze. "Looks like we're going to play babysitter, eh? Weird, it's been awhile since those troublemakers showed up anywhere near our city." He eyed the humans one by one, "stick close, it looks like it's pretty far away, but eh, it's hard to tell...the map isn't very well done."
