You can't help but scream out as you plummet through the air from what must be tens of thousands of feet up, the landscape below you rapidly growing. Sure, Air Step can definitely save you here, but you were getting a little too comfortable with the Nimbus after it proved to be fairly reliable and fast. You may have taken it up a little too far, and even pushed it to go faster and faster to test the limits of the speedy little cloud. You HAD been having a blast with it, while Azalea was watching the scenery blow by beneath the cloud with amazement...when the wind whipped around her just right so that you could see the color white.
Not one to dwell on your folly or the fear of breaking your bones on the ground below, you use Mutaito's technique to slow your rate of descent rapidly while Azalea tries to Coax the Nimbus to circle back around to you. Ultimately, Barbar ends up catching you out of the air on his Dark Nimbus, holding you under his arm like a sack of potatos and looking at you with a raised eyebrow. Your face flushes, but thankfully enough for you, the Warrior either doesn't care enough to or he has enough tact not to ask about the slipup.
The Dark Nimbus meets up with the much brighter, golden-colored Flying Nimbus after a moment, and you tentatively hop back on over to it. Thankfully you've banished what you saw from your mind, so it seems to accept you for now, but it feels like the Nimbus is watching you warily despite its lack of...well, any features at all. You grin to Barbar, before glancing down to the now-considerably-closer landscape beneath you.
You actually notice a rather bizarre sight, now that you're not worried for your life. Just off the nearby coast seems to be a ship hoisting black sails, with skulls and crossed swords emblazoned on them. A massive metal skull rests at the head of the ship, with what looks an awful lot like a harvesting scythe of gargantuan proportions hovering in front of it, presumably to be used similar to a cutting wedge should it ram into something. The ship is actually in the middle of rising up from the sea, water pouring out of every surface that it can while it brings itself to bear.
Nearby is a much more normal looking ship, presumably one bearing cargo based on its size and considerably more modern construction, which starts to blare a horn in warning. You can't blame them - this is CLEARLY some kind of pirate ship, after all! It just strikes you as odd how anachronistic this particular one is, but you can worry about that later. You've gotta help!
>Board the ship, you'll beat them all by hand!
>Try out the Sandakoru, perhaps you can re-sink that ship from here.
>Prioritize the safety of the cargo ship, fly the nimbus over and disable the pirate's cannons!
>Something else?
