The room is set up as a workshop, with the wooden framework of a plane in the middle of the floor. Sheeta finds him in a hole he's broken through a terrace into his own basement. Pazu puts on the necklace and jumps off the roof. She hands it to him and says her grandmother gave it to her and it's been in her family for generations. Pazu has a theory about how she can float he asks to see her necklace. She's surprised to hear from Pazu that he found her floating in the air she remembers being in an airship, but nothing more. Pazu shakes her hand and introduces himself, then gives her some food to feed the doves. The trumpet wakes Sheeta, who climbs the ladder to the roof, following the music. Pazu's house is perched on the lip of a cliff, and is part of a larger building that's mostly in ruins. Then he climbs to the top of the tower and plays his trumpet. He climbs through a skylight to the roof and opens a window in a brick tower attached to his small wooden house, releasing some white doves. The Legend of the Castle in the Sky Next morning, Pazu wakes up at home-he slept on the floor-and sees Sheeta, still asleep in his bed. She tells them to call her captain, and they reply "yes, Mom," in unison. One complains there's too much cloud cover and it's too dark, but Dola won't call off the search. Dola has returned to her ship, but her sons are out searching for Sheeta in their flapters.

The boss, predicting that they'll all be starving soon, asks Pazu to shut off the boiler and oil the machinery, and goes home for the night. They complain about not finding any silver or even tin. He operates the elevator hoist by himself for the first time, bringing up a crew of miners and their haul for the day, a small cartload of coal. Pazu leaves Sheeta, still sleeping, on a platform near the top of the mine shaft and goes back to work. From down in the hole the mine boss (voice: John Hostetter) irately calls for his dinner, and is too busy with his malfunctioning machinery to listen when Pazu tries to tell him about the girl who came down from the sky. Running back to work, the boy sees something falling from the sky, realizes it's a person, and catches Sheeta as she floats down into the open shaft of a mine. The man behind the counter, calling the boy Pazu (pronounced pot-zu), is surprised that the boy is still working at this hour. A boy (voice: James Van Der Beek) comes into a shop and asks for some meatballs for his boss. On the ground, working-class folk in 19th-Century European clothes are shopping and talking. She seems to be asleep and falling toward a lighted town it's still dark. Her crystal lights up and she falls more slowly, turning so she's lying face-up. Sheeta falls from the clouds and hurtles toward the ground, head-first and unconscious. The opening credits show steampunk industrial scenes of mining, building flying machines, and islands floating in the sky. Dola notices that she's wearing the necklace, and says "I want that crystal!" Sheeta inches over to the next window, but one of the pirates gets into the room and rushes the window she falls. They nearly miss the girl, but one thinks to look out the window and spots her. The pirates burst into the room and recognize the unconscious man, Muska (voice: Mark Hamill).

There's knocking and shouting outside the door, so she opens the window, climbs out, and clings to the side of the plane. While he's occupied, Sheeta knocks him out with a wine bottle, reaches inside his jacket and from an inner pocket pulls a necklace, which she puts on. He opens a suitcase that holds a transmitter and starts sending a message in Morse code. Dola shouts "I want that girl!" The leader of the dark suits enters the girl's cabin, and calling her Sheeta (voice: Anna Paquin), tells her to stay out of the way.

Once inside, the pirates run through a crowd in a spacious glass-walled cabin-there's a party going on-and trade gunshots with some of the dark-suited men. They attack using small four-winged chariot-like fliers called flapters, dropping from the flapters to the top of the larger ship. The men seem to recognize the pirates, who have apparently been lying in wait. The men in the cabin with the girl wear dark suits and dark glasses (which is odd, as its dark outside). 『 天 空 の 城 ラ ピ ュ タ 』 A Special Stone The Tiger Moth, a flying pirate ship commanded by a pink-haired woman called Dola (voice: Cloris Leachman in the Disney English dub) and manned by her seven or eight grown sons, spots a larger flying ship, from which a girl looks out a window.The synopsis below may give away important plot points.
