The second Starbright got into the jet, he first made sure THE BULLET was in safe, but then he put petal to the metal. The Minijet zoomed off almost crashing into some of the others out of the gate. This was the prime example of reckless and dangerous flying, not like Starbright would have any clue. At one point during the flight, he even took his hands of the controls to adjust his hair in the mirror.
"See I told you Chad, no different from driving a sports car. You want to have a spin on it? Its a fantastic time." The plane dipped up, passing all the other mini jets, to the top of the tower. Then begun a surprisingly rocky landing, or at least surprising to Starbright.
"Ha ha ha, boy am I glad that the jelly stuff filled just the back. If it ruined my outfit, I would have been so annoyed." But there was something right in front of the mini jet that was more concerning than the prospect of ruined clothes, as hard as that is to believe. It was Sea Serpent looking mighty annoyed at such an excellent display of flying. How could you not be jealous of such a masterful flight? Starbright was very thankful for the tinted windows giving a cover to his shocked expression before he could compose himself.
"Shit, oh shit, oh shit. We need to do something quick otherwise this plane is going into the ocean."Starbright had to think of a plan and quick. Maybe they could fight Sea Serpent and win, but it was more likely she would come out on top. At the very least, she was a great deal stronger than Starbright even without the injured ankle. He would need something more tricky. He also search around for something to restrain her, on the off chance they won. But he couldn't find anything to use, at least not anything other than his belt. But would that even work? The belt brought the whole outfit together, would Sea Serpent recognize that something is wrong if Starbright exited with a sub-optimal style of dress? It certainly would work on Mr Impressive, who had the worst fashion sense in Wings, but it he couldn't imagine it would work on Seraph. However, it was a risk that had to be taken.
Starbright took off the belt and handed it off to THE BULLET.
"Here, use this to restrain her when you get the chance. I'll do the talking, just do your best to back me up. Oh, and look as confident as possible. You know, puff out your chest and all that stuff. It will help with selling it." It still takes a good tug for Starbright to release his grip on the belt. It was a fabulous belt, and was a fashion life saver. Starbright was sad to see it go, but heroism demands the greatest of sacrifices.
Starbright composed himself under the veil of tinted glass before hoping out of the mini jet.
"Another smooth landing as always, wouldn't you agree BULLET?" He turned his gazed over to Sea Serpent.
"Oh! Sea Serpent, didn't expect to see you there. Are you happy to see me still alive? I can't imagine you do ha ha, have you heard what its like over there?" Starbright gestured over to the mainland Castleburg behind him.
"I'm sorry to say, but EAGLES is fucked. They will eat you alive over there if you so much as step on the mainland again. It pains me to say it, but justice will arrive sooner or later."Starbright slowly approached Sea Serpent as he said the next part. The whole thing being a ruse to have her drop her guard.
"I mean justice will be arriving for Seraph, right? And his creepy thumb head lackey. Where does that leave you? Of course, you are clean in all this. I know because you have been sending me information to betray EAGLES, haven't you?" He was deliberately proposing a made up situation where Sea Serpent could get out of this scott free.
"Oh no, but in the up coming battle my burner phone was smashed so I don't have any record of it. But surely to can take my word for it Mr Judge, she is innocent. It was that awful Seraph forcing her to do everything, I swear." Starbright was only a few metres away now.
"You did do all of that, right? And my dear friend THE BULLET also saw you stand aside and let us into the tower to bring an end to EAGLES.""You don't need to go down with the ship. Let shake on it, you know, between heroes." Only a metre away, he reached out his hand to accept her handshake.
