Amber was sitting in the bridge of the “ship”. A few days ago this would be several miles above the earth, with the wind blowing through her hair as clouds and birds passed her by. But that was before Sky bastion's destruction, and Earth bastion's creation. Now the little pirate was surrounded by steel. Spell proof glass made up the windows, a reinforced steel roof, and her steering wheel was accompanied by an assortment of peddles, levers, and switches. Amber didn't like most of it, but at least she didn't have to stand up. The driver's seat was VERY comfy. Even Sue could attest to that, who was now perched on top of the seat. 

	There wasn't a lot for Amber or Sue to do involving the construction of the Earth Bastion. Sue was busy trying to recruit magical girls, and Amber's height and vitality made her a less than ideal worker, even if she was plenty strong. So she helped construct the bridge so that she could at least understand how to run the thing. After that, Amber and Sue slept. What they awoke to was less than pleasant.

	Fire trucks, police cars, and... orders.

	“A-Amber!” Sue flew around the pirate's head. “The police found us!” 

	The pirate cleaned out her eyes and ajusted her hat before punching a button on the expansive console before her. A monitor flicked on and showed Amber everything that was going on outside. “Well blow me down!”

	“What are we going to do?”

	The pirate looked at the screen for no less than five full seconds before stretching out her little legs. “So, do you think you can relay a message to Mariette for me?”

	Sue sighed. “You had to put off talking things out until today huh?”

	“Oh sue?” Amber's brow was twitching, but she kept her smile up. “I'm feeling like poultry tonight.”

	“Eeeep!”  Sue cowered behind the head rest.

	“Anyway.” the pirate rolled her head on her shoulders to make her neck pop a few times. “Just get her to open up a portal big enough for the ship, I'll take care of setting up a distraction.”

	“Oh dear!” Sue immediately flew out of the Earth Bastion, not wasting a single second.

	“Alright, let's see.” Amber flipped a few switches. She didn't know exactly what they did, this was just her way of playing around and learning how things worked. “Opposition is a bunch of fairly normal, fairly unmagical police officers, and I'm in one of the sturdiest contraptions to ever grace this plane of existence.”  Amber flexed her fingers and let them rest on the steering wheel. “I think we'll be okay if I learn how to control this thing.”

	The first thing Amber did was stomp on one of the peddles, which did nothing since it was just the clutch. The pirate discovered this relatively quickly and was able to shift into first gear. With the correct gear selected, Amber took hold of two completely different levers and pulled them backwards. In a flying ship, this might have made it climb. But the grounded Earth bastion started to roll backwards as fast as it's gears would let it. “Gah!” The pirate was able to lean forward on the levers, just in time to stop the giant tank-boat from rolling over a fire truck. But then it was rolling forwards towards a police care. “Whoa!” Amber pulled back on just one of the sticks, and Earth bastion's treads spun in different directions, causing the massive tank-boat to spin in place. Even if Mariette could get a portal open, it remained to be seen if Amber could drive through it. All Sue could hope was that the police and Amber's novice tank driving skills wouldn't pose a problem for anyone on the street.

	Tonya had a huge grin on her face, enjoying the dream she was presently experiencing. But the ship's sudden movement caused the girl to slide into a wall. While sleeping under an exhaust pipe did ensure no one would discover her, she had not accounted for the fact that she was unable to wake up at a reasonable time. Tonya had also, maybe forgotten to look far enough ahead to see how smooth their escape would be.

	She grabbed a hold of something and stared into the spool. Once this was over with, she had to prepare for a gorelion ambush.
