That last attack from a bunch of Enemy Gummis really did a number on them... It was pretty safe to say that their ship was just too damaged to keep going as it was. The engines kept sputtering, and the Wayward would give an occasional shudder that made the trio very uneasy. They needed to find a place to land, and fast. "Hey, Riley, there's a world pretty close to here," Skyler spoke up, looking up from the electronic map he and Kasey were looking at. "Maybe we can land there?"
Riley hummed lightly in thought at the news, drumming his fingers on the steering wheel of the Wayward. "Maybe. Have our dads been there before?"
"Uh... Does it matter? I think repairs are a bit more important!"
"I know, I know. But I'd feel a bit better about it if we knew something about the world. Can you just answer the question?"
"No, I don't think either one of them have been there before." In other words, they were treading into unknown territory. And boy, did they know it. The trio just stared at each other for a little bit before Riley let out a soft sigh, asking for directions to this new world. Skyler nodded, quickly putting the map up where Riley could see it. All that they could do then was wait, and hope that their Gummi held together long enough to get them to this new world.
Imagine their surprise when they all saw just how familiar it looked! It was eerily close to home... "Did we get turned around or something?" Kasey wondered out loud after they had semi-crashed on a beach, sitting on the wing of the Wayward. "I mean, there was that whole...vortex thing we ran into a while back... It could have knocked us back, right?"
"I don't think so," Riley shook his head, his arms crossed loosely over his chest. "We probably would've run into something familiar if that had happened." The eldest looked out at the shoreline, a small frown appearing on his face as he scanned the general area. "Maybe we just...ran into a lookalike world or something. I think Master Yen Sid mentioned something about that before we left."
Skyler popped up from the other side of the Gummi, tools in hand as he finally tuned into the conversation. "Really? I don't remember that," he interjected.
The silver-haired teen just sighed and rolled his eyes. "Of course you wouldn't, Sky. You were too busy staring out the window."
"...Not my fault it was distracting..."
"Anyways...! How about we look around, Riley?" the youngest suggested, looking over at her 'cousin'. "Might as well explore this place a bit while Sky's fixing up the Wayward, right?" Riley nodded, waiting until Kasey hopped down from the wing and joined him on the sand. It seemed like the best idea, seeing as how this world was, from what Riley had called it, a 'lookalike' to their homeworld. Who knows what they would find there? "Come on, let's go this way!" she declared with a sudden grin, darting off in a random direction.
Both boys blinked and stared in the direction that Kasey had run off in, glancing at each other.
"...I better go keep an eye on her."
"Yeah..."
Skyler watched as Riley went after Kasey for a moment before he turned back to the Gummi, chewing on his lip a bit as he surveyed the damage. Obviously, he couldn't get it back to the condition it was in before... But he just needed to get it flying properly, so they could get to a world where they could do full repairs on it. "Alrighty then, let's get you patched up!" the brunette declared, tossing his jacket inside the cockpit so it didn't get in the way. Then he dove right on in to fix it up, starting with the engines and slowly making his way towards the front of the ship.
