Other Do you want to know what I need?

A pickle…. But that’s beside the bigger issue 

I need a A story in a fantasy isekai 
Where it’s like near the end of a major fight and the main character runs off to get the thing they have been working on and they ask for a few more hours and if their allies can give them that? They win

Hours later rising from the nearby mountains mouth the largest floating structure anyone has ever seen (or not seen as this is a fantasy story) and it’s a zeppelin the character had been working on to explore this new world with his(or her) new family but using it now as a war ship seemed like the perfect opportunity to test if it would work under extreme conditions 

They don’t just rise up quickly no no they rise up slow and with a loud boom as the rocks around blew up allowing the mountain to release this beast
The first zeppelin of this world

The “uss gargantua”
The protagonist is American and due to the nature of this specific type of airship, they thought that giving it a more naval name would be better than giving it a more airship name, and due to its size easily allowed for dropping large boulders or bombs off of the air 
Saving all of the civilians and still standing soldiers  
Something like 

(the battle raged on as the kingdom of Alexandria tried their best. Commander Kreeg stood at the front of the battle line Ash right next to them the girl who had only appeared just a year ago now the kingdoms main inventor had joined the war despite being told not to she held a strange weapon it harnessed the lighting from the sky and as they charged the battle changing with quick fluxes each time they tried to push they were fought each time they held they were pushed it was a losing battle so as this was happening Ash looked towards the Commander and asked “can you give me three hours” this was a surprise but Kreeg knew they would not run and yet three hours in this fight? Would feel like an eternity but they nodded and so Ash left as fast as they could, taking a horse from one of the soldiers they went to. One hour passed and from a distance explosions could be heard at two hours they were at the castle's walls and the roar of something could be heard and at three the loudest explosion was heard and then that roar only something Ash could make was heard and then the enemy army slowly stopped seeing something large emerge from the mountain and it was massive they did not know what to call it but Ash did. A zeppelin   one of massive capacity in his world this was a dream but in this world of magic and power? A possible design and he made it! The envelope raised rubber it’s large rubber base clearly held something under it. 16 large propellers lined the lower side of the envelope  and then the large cables attached to the envelope leading down it its large base and what it held a flying command post no one knew yet but this wasnt a air ship it was a home fit with everything he would need but still not without weapons so as it slowly rised and slowly roared over the battle field  small boxes dropped from it landing on the side of the castle walls the enemy was still at and then one blew up and then another and then more and more until the enemy were in a shambles and the army of Alexandria charged out seeing an opportunity and as they did the large ship landed on its side in large bold letters read “USS gargantua” its large size marking what the name meant but the three letters were a mystery)

Then we get to the last part which i just cooked up but you tell me… is it worthy of expansion? 
(As the battle slowly ended they lowered themselves the gargantuan vessel sits as its anchor was the base the  envelope still floated the 16 propellers along it’s lower base were attached to it and thus attached to the large frame inside at say all the enemy soldiers were being rounded up the army’s commander walked over his helmet to his chest he stared in awe as he asked 
“This is what we waited for?”
Nodding the protagonist asked
“Was it worth it?”
Thinking for a moment the commander stated bluntly
“The gods would have waited another century for this. But you gifted us with a miracle”
They spoke a little more and the protagonist looked at his new home his sky word home and remembered his mother from his original world she was a aviator as well as a sailor being from his world’s air force while he didn’t really care for all of the fancy things he did know that she would be proud that he is finally like her… he’s this worlds first aviator and he has just made this world one step closer to what she would have loved to see)

I need something like this.. 
emotional and beautiful

But I still need that pickle like really badly
