Tropers: The Series

Kay puts her finger to a chin, and a lightbulb appears on top of her head. It floats away. "AHAH!"

She waves her wand around and summons four blocks attached to each other a few meters above her and After. A green warp pipe protrudes from the blocks. "Now, this pipe should take us near the ship. Probably."

"Looks like as good a chance as any."

I steer the skateboard into the pipe.

A green warp pipe protrudes from the top of the starship as two people float out of it.

"Yesss, we made it! Now then, how do we get in?"

"No idea."

I knock on the window.

"HEY GUYS!" i shout over the gale-force winds. "HOW CAN WE HELP YOU?"

Dan opens the airlock and shouts back

"Hey! Just get back in here and we'll figure something out!"

Kay pokes his head through the airlock.

"AIGHTY!" He hops in the ship.

I climb in after Kay. But the skateboard, unaffected by gravity but very much affected by inertia, keeps on floating down, down, down into the fiery ball of gas beneath us.

"Oh, shit...."

"After, your skateboard was a piece of shit anyways! " Knife pulls them in. "I think I have an idea. Just help me pull off the spaceship's rear view mirror!"

"You guys got anything to boost the rocket power? I really don't like how close that fireball is getting to us"

"Okay, that skateboard was objectively a piece of shit, but somehow, I am still offended by that."

I summon my Keyblade and do my best baseball swing at the rear view mirror, knocking it clean off but also shattering the glass in the process.

"Johannes, I have an idea. The rockets look totally fucked, but if we can redirect the photon power of the exploding sun into the ship's quark drive with this fucking mirror-" Knife continues pulling off the rear view mirror- "Then I think we have a chance."

Kay reaches out to touch Afters shoulder, then thinks and puts his hand back down.

"It's ok, After... There are plenty of shitty items out in the vast open universe for you!"

"You're right, weird stranger. Someday, I will make myself a Kringlefucker. Or..."

I look down at my Keyblade hopefully.

"A SORD.............."

"After." Knife looks at the broken glass. "I needed that."

"First of all, how did you find out about my cover name, I haven't used it in months

Also, I don't think solar sails are anywhere near as efficient as you think and..."

Dan looks at the still open airlock

"You know what, fine, whatever"

"Oh... I mean, you can still use the shards right?"

Knife sighs. "Got any duct tape?"

"No, but I'm pretty sure blood is a bit sticky"

Kay looks at After. That's the spirit!"

"Maybe if I insert two Bullet Bills into the rocket slots, that can work?"

"Now that I think about it, doesn't someone here have a supernatural mirror in their possesion? Could you use that?" I ask, while searching the ship's stores for some duct tape.

"I could. Why didn't anyone tell me about that when I was literally asking people for mirrors?"

Kay starts waving his wand around as shapes appear. "So, should I replace the thrusters on this ship or not?"

"It's easy to forget all the supernatural artifacts we've collected from our adventures, since we've had so many."

"Chey!" I call out through the ship. "Do you still have your wedding gift?"

"Depends on how quickly you can do it"

"All it takes is a whip and a flick. No biggie."
