A/N: My first long project for the Storm Hawks fandom. The Storm Hawks themselves will take awhile to show up but they will drop by eventually. The stars of this fic are Ralph, Hurrl, Chuckk, and the others who join them on their quest.

Disclaimer: While I am a nerd, I am not a member of Nerd Corps and therefore I do not clam to own any of the characters, settings, and plots of the show Storm Hawks.

The Proposal

"YOU WANT ME TO DO WHAT?!" The volume of the female Raptor's screech made his ears ring. One of her bright yellow eyes twitched in a decidedly unhealthy way, which he could see clearly, since they were well out of sight under a small cluster of trees and cacti allowing him to wear his goggles. "ARE YOU INSSSSANE?!"

"Ralph, shush," The short light olive green reptile tried to get her to quiet down just in case someone was nearby. "Someone might hear you. Besides, it's not all that bad of an idea if you think about it."

"Not. A bad. Idea?" Ralph hissed threateningly as she loomed over him. She was quieter but somehow that just didn't make him feel better. "You're sssssaying that we ssssshhould abandon our homesss, commit treassson, and—and help people!"

"Ah, you're simply looking at it from the wrong angle." He countered with a nervous smile. He tried to keep his tail from curling around him in fear.

"Oh and how sshould I look at?" She asked raising a brow. She crossed her arms defensively over her crème colored chest.

"Look at it as a trip, a chance to explore the Atmos and see the sights. How often do you get to leave Bogaton? As for treason, your dream is to take over the Terra one day and you've been keeping information on a Terradon for your own personal use, which is explicitly a form of treason. Why not stick it to Repton in a way that gives you access to an army if needed, leadership practice, and an excuse to build a group of followers?" Ralph seemed a bit more relaxed and actually looked like she was considering going along with his crazy idea. Now came the hard part… "Now I know you don't like helping people, but just think of it the way you think of me; an opportunity that could pay off in the future. You can assist others to earn their support while getting to fight Cyclonians, whom I know you really don't like." The short 'Raptor' crossed the tips of his tongue and hoped that she'd accept his proposal.

The taller brown reptile was silent for what seemed like an eternity before answering with a sigh:

"Fine Chuckk, I'll become a Sky Knight."

"Great," Chuckk replied. Outside he was calm yet joyful, but inside he was doing a very silly happy dance. "Do you mind if I join your squad?"

"Sure, it's probably why you came up with the idea in the first place you sneaky bastard."

Neither of them expected a voice from high in the trees to ask:

"Can I join too?"

…

The dark green Raptor chuckled at the response to his question; Chuckk squeaked and hid behind his ally who drew a Scale-blade and demanded that he show himself. Well, that wasn't an unreasonable request. Except for the fact that she's armed idiot, don't get to close. Fine but I will "show" myself.

"Hi Chuckky, hey Miss Angry Pants." He said as he wiggled his tail where they could see it. The thought of it struck him as funny and he started giggling again.

"Hurrl?" The little goggle-wearing lizard asked peaking around Ralph's side. The female Raptor lowered her sword upon recognizing the name but she didn't deactivate it. "What are you doing here?"

"Spyin'." The big Raptor replied leaning back lazily against the tree trunk.

"…wh—" "You can join." Ralph said cutting off her subordinate's question. She knew that Chuckk was a very paranoid and smart reptile, smart enough to cover his tracks well and to pick a meeting spot that no one could find without good directions. She was skilled enough to notice someone approaching their location. If that loony freak could sneak up on them, combined with his obvious physical strength, then he'd be useful as a subordinate.

"Yay! So, how we gettin' off this rock?"

"Good question. Chuckk?" The brown Raptor deactivated her weapon and sheathed it. She gave the small 'Raptor' an expectant look.

"I have an idea, but it'll be risky…"
