Well, I had a plot bunny attack the other day, and this is what has become of it. I hope you enjoy this Valentine's Day special, as it shall be multi-chaptered! :D And yes! I'll try and get this done in a more timely manner than my Christmas story x3

This chapter is in Master Cyclonis' POV.

I do not own the Storm Hawks, they are the property of Nerd Corps.

A Cyclonian Cupid

Chapter 1

'There's only a week until Valentine's Day.' I thought to myself, refusing the urge to gag as I sat down on my throne. 'Such a dumb day to celebrate love of all things! But I suppose it will aid in the success of my newest plan to rid myself of those meddling Storm Hawks, if even for only a couple of weeks, it'll still be worth it.'

Examining the two, small pink-purple crystals in my hand, I realized with disgust that the crystals I had created earlier in the day had ended up forming almost heart shapes. 'Well, maybe they'll make better arrowheads this way.'

As the thought left my head, I looked up at the sound of the large double doors to my throne room being opened. Ravess entered the room, and the doors slowly closed behind her.

Walking up to me, she bowed her head quickly before she asked, "Master Cyclonis, you sent for me?"

Standing up, I told her, "I have a special assignment for you, as you are the only one of my commanders than can carry out this particular plan, to perfection that is."

Ravess looked up at me with a slight gleam in her eye as she said, "How may I be of service to you Master Cyclonis?"

"Hand me two of your arrows Ravess." I commanded. Ravess blinked a few times, slightly confused before she pulled a couple of her arrows out of her quiver.

As I took them from Ravess' outstretched hand, I told her, "I have a very particular assignment for you Ravess, and as I said before it must be executed to perfection, no unfortunate mistakes that have been happening quite often lately, do you understand?"

Receiving a solemn nod from Ravess in reply, I said, "Good." I could feel the Cyclonian Commander before me staring at me with confusion as I carefully took the small aerodynamically designed firebolt crystal out of each of the two arrows.

Ravess began to object at what I was doing until I raised my hand, indicating she needed to be quiet. As she became silent once more, I showed her the small crystals I had created earlier.

"These two crystals are to be the key to success for this particular mission." I informed Ravess as I carefully inserted one heart shaped crystal into each of the two arrow shafts. 'Perfect, they fit, just as I planned, and you know what? I think they will make quite effective arrowheads. It seems that for now everything is going as planned.' I thought to myself as I handed the two arrows back to Ravess.

"I want you to take the utmost care when handling these particular arrows Ravess as you must use these two arrows to hit your two targets."

Ravess nodded her head as she held the two arrows in her hand, admiring the colour and shape of the crystals that were acting as the arrowheads. Looking up at me, Ravess questioned, "If I may be so bold as to ask Master, who are my targets and what will the effects of these crystals be on them?"

Smirking, I replied, "You are more than likely aware about what a horrendous waste of a day is coming up?"

"It's Valentine's Day, is it not Master? The day that Atmosians seem to like so much?"

"Yes, and I've decided to take full advantage of their little 'special' day which celebrates 'love'." Checking to see if Ravess was following, I continued, "I created those two crystals so that if a boy and girl are hit with them at about the same time within a close proximity, they can't help but fall in love within a week."

Glancing down at the crystals embedded in the tips of her arrows, the pink-haired woman commented, "That sounds like a torturous enough situation for us, but unless you're asking me to shoot a couple of Cyclonians with them, you'd almost think that whoever else your targets may be won't think of it being such a burden."

"Perhaps," I began, "But you see, I'm not having you shoot just any boy and girl, I'm having you shoot a couple of Storm Hawks."

Ravess seemed almost surprised at my announcement before she stuttered, "B-but Master, all of the Storm Hawks are merely children, surely they must not know what love is?"

Smirking, I decided to reveal the entirety of my plan to the commander standing in front of me.

"That's the point Ravess, they won't be able to make sense of their feelings, they won't know what to do with themselves, and they won't be able to escape the feelings for at least two weeks. If we hit two key members of the Storm Hawks and have their minds elsewhere for a couple of weeks, the rest of their squadron won't be able to operate without them completely focused. Not to mention they'll be too concerned about their friends' behaviour to bother tracking our movements."

Ravess mouth twisted into an evil grin as she replied, "Of course! We'll have two weeks of freedom to attack whichever terras we please."

"Exactly." I stated before I commanded, "Make sure you hit Piper with one as she is the only girl amongst the Storm Hawks, and I also want you to hit their Sky Knight, Aerrow. A squadron without a focused Sky Knight is hardly operable."

Ravess nodded before she asked, "How will I get close enough to shoot them without being detected? And if I do shoot them, won't their friends find them, I mean, an arrow shaft sticking out of their friends would be quite noticeable."

Smiling in amusement at Ravess' attention to details I had already considered, I told her, "You will simply have to wait until the Sky Knight and his navigator are alone. And as far as someone finding any part of the arrow to point towards Cyclonia, I have rigged these crystals so that once they hit their targets, the crystal itself deteriorates into their blood stream, thus the shaft should just fall to the floor after this occurs. Plus, I found a way to add a small sedative into the crystals' makeup so that once an individual is hit they will fall unconscious for about an hour. This should be enough time for you to retrieve the arrow shafts, no?"

Bowing once more, Ravess replied, "Of course Master Cyclonis, I will not fail you this time."

"You are dismissed." I informed Ravess who nodded, and with yet another bow she began to make her way out of the throne room.

Before Ravess had fully walked out the doors however, I called, "And Ravess," Seeing that the Talon Commander had turned around to face me, I ordered her, "You leave immediately, and make sure to take a few invisi crystals, you never know how long you'll have to wait until the two are alone."

Nodding, Ravess replied, "Of course Master Cyclonis, do you have anymore orders?"

"No, just one final order," Pausing for a moment, I hissed, "No mistakes!"

As Ravess left the room, I walked back to my throne and sat down before I thought to myself triumphantly, 'The Storm Hawks will never know what hit them!'

Well, I'm hoping to post one or two chapters a day depending on my typing schedule, so if I miss an update, don't get too mad at me!

I hope you guys enjoyed this first chapter, and don't worry, more is coming your way soon! ;)
