To my relief, I could feel the plane righting itself already, rising inch by inch as I pushed against it with every muscle in my body. In my mind’s eye, I could imagine the pilot and passengers alike being confused at this turn of events, wondering why they weren’t falling to their deaths like a stone thrown off a cliff. It would have brought a smile to my face if I wasn’t already using my face muscles and every other muscle in my body to keep this thing up.
But maybe they weren’t going to survive after all, because we were now on course for a direct crash into the landing stripe. Despite my best efforts, I couldn’t force the airplane to stay up. Nor could I make it change direction. All I could do was watch as the black asphalt of the landing stripe grew closer and closer. At this rate, even I wouldn’t survive a direct crash like this. At least the passengers had the plane itself to take most of the impact. I, on the other hand, was going to take the brunt of the crash. At least I would probably instantly die upon impact, but that wasn’t a very comforting thought.
Just as the plane broke through the last of the cloud cover, it came to an abrupt stop in midair. The stop was so abrupt that I was thrown off the underside of the plane and crashed into the landing stripe, landing flat on my back. Though the fall was far from lethal, it did jar me and make my head spin for a moment before I shook my head and looked up.
I found myself staring directly up the nose of the massive Alpha Airlines plane hanging in the air above me. I could dimly make out the terrified and confused faces of the pilot and co-pilot in the cockpit, but I was more focused on the fact that the airplane itself had simply stopped in midair like someone had grabbed it with their hand. A part of me feared that the airplane would simply crash down on top of me, which would definitely kill me no matter how strong I was.
“Hey, Bolt,” said a familiar voice behind me. “Long time, no see.”
Startled by the voice, I looked up and saw a superhero standing behind me, holding out one hand toward the airplane, the other on his hip. He wore a costume similar to mine in design, except blue and yellow, and he had a cool cape as well. He looked to be about my age and had a lean, athletic body, with dark brown hair and deep black eyes which were looking at me with a degree of amusement.
Although it had been a while since I saw him, I had no trouble recognizing the hero who stood above me now. “Strike? What are you doing here?”
Strike’s friendly smile disappeared, replaced by a troubled frown. “Dizzy is missing, Bolt. And I need your help to find her.”
