I don't own storm hawks, if I did youd know about it cause there would be a lot of dark ace, and he would be a half naked a lot in it XP Sorry major fan girl of dark ace! /

"Finn look out!" Piper exclaimed to the unsuspecting sharp shooter. Then, out of no where, a flash of light and suddenly Finn's skimmer was sliced in half resulting in the blonde falling and screaming until he finally grasped the realisation that he had a parachute.
'Yep' Aerrow thought 'just another typical day for the Storm Hawks.' You see once again the honorary Storm hawks squadren were battling the atrocious Cyclonians. Aerrow almost felt like he was experiencing de ja vu. It seemed as though this was all they did, fight Cyclonians that is, for one reason or another.
This time the two sides were competing for a new rare finding of crystals. Neither side was sure of their purpose, or what power they possessed. All the Storm Hawks and Cyclonians knew was that they wanted the crytals and had to stop the opposing team from getting them.
Typically the storm hawks were edging their way to victory, minus Finn's usual failure of course.
It was like the Cyclonians were dropping by the second. Not that that was a big shocker mind, none of the storm hawks could remember a time when the "elite" talons had successfully won a battle against the young team of do-gooders. 'They bring it on themselves' Aerrow thought 'they never learn from their mistakes'.
And he was right, the Storm Hawks never had to change the way the fought because the talons just kept to the same routine of fly, shoot and pretty much fail at life.
With this fact in mind Aerrow leapt from his skimmer, leaving his trusty co-pilot to take control and stand by. He hung in the air for a bit then landed perfectly on the wing of an enemy skimmer. Oh how he loved this little trick of his, he'd done it so many times he made it look almost like art. Although Aerrow did often wonder why the Cyclonians didnt just fly out of the way of his landing so he would just keep falling. Of course he would never give them that idea.
Leaping from one ride to another, ending the engines power in one quick strike of his blade, each Cyclonian dropped leaving a trail of smoke behind them. Thanks to team work and a hell of a lot of confidence by the dare-devil adrenelin junkie Aerrow. The Storm Hawks could celebrate their victory earlier than ever, as every Cyclonian was now soaring down towards the hellish wastelands in record time.
Even though he cheered, Aerrow still felt empty. As though something was missing, his partner could sense his despair and gave him a mournful chirp. Aerrow turned his head to the worried sky monkey.
"Im OK buddy" Aerrow said with a blank smile. They both knew he was lying, but given the fact that Radar couldn't actually reply with human speech he kept quiet as they flew back to the condor with the rest of the team.
Back on the condor Piper began to examine the new discovery that they had rightfully earned. Bored out of his mind now that the battle was over, Aerrow sat and watched Piper work on the strange crystals. Although his eyes were fixed on her, his thoughts were somewhere else. 'Is this as good as it gets? Is this what life is gonna be like pretty much like all the time? I mean its a great feeling knowing that im protecting so many innocent people, but after a while now I've found life to be pretty dull. I need new adventure, new challenges, maybe something totally random just come at me and take me by surprise...'
"Aerrow...Aerrow...AERROW!" His thoughts evapourated as he looked up and saw the crystal mage standing infront of him. Staring at him with a worried and slightly annoyed look in her eyes. "Are you feeling OK? Ive been trying to get your attention for a while now. Did something happen during the battle?" Despite his depressed state of mind at the minute Aerrow recoiled at the idea of telling Piper how he felt. She was the best person to talk to when he had troubles. But if he started telling her that he was getting bored with the life of a sky knight, how bratty would that sound! Besides it was probably just a silly phase he was going through. So he told her he was fine then left the room. After dinner Aerrow headed straight for his bedroom, maybe a good nights sleep would help him figure out why he was feeling so distraught about his life at the moment. With a heavy sigh, his eyes slowly draped shut and he was suddenly fast asleep unaware of the adventure he was about to embark upon.
Aerrow was surprised as he woke to find the sun already high in the sky. How could he have slept in and why didn't Piper wake him up? He sat up and was shocked by a new development: the condor wasn't moving. If it was already dinner time Stork would've been at the controls by now heading for a destination. Feeling thouroughly confused Aerrow left his room and headed for the bridge. He hated to admit it, but he was pretty annoyed at Piper for not waking him, and for landing on a terra without consulting with him first. However that irritation was immediately replaced with worry and a slight suspicion when he found none of his team mates on the bridge. Rather than allowing paranoia get the better of him, the young leader did a quick search around the condor for his team. Unfortunately his suspicions were correct. The Storm Hawks squadren was missing. 'But why? Why would they leave without telling me?'Aerrow left those thoughts behind, after all his team wouldn't abandon him. They had no reason to and when he thought about it, it was really out of character for them to just wander off without him knowing. He would've considered that maybe the Cyclonians had ambushed the ship while he was sleeping and had caputured them. But there wouldv'e been signs of a struggle, not to mention he would've woken up from the alert siren.
Aerrow didn't want to waste anytime, he had to find his team and be reassured of their safety. He didn't like this sensation of uncertainty, so he headed out of the condor and onto the terra. If he had any sense of comfort with the situation he had been unwillingly dropped in, he sure as hell didn't anymore. The first thing he noticed about this terra: he didn't recognise it, at all. Nothing looked familiar. 'There has to be a rational explaination for all this' he decided as he looked up at the sky to try and find any help in the clouds. What he saw blew his mind: the sky, it was as if it was whirling round like a twister. It almost looked like the condor had fallen down a giant hole or something. 'Then again maybe not...' Feeling very uneasy, Aerrow moved on and left the condor in search of his team mates.
His journey began on a moor which was covered in patchy grass, he could see some large trees up ahead. That was his best bet for finding Piper and the others he decided. He kept his eyes fixed on the trees in hope of possibly seeing something that would set his mind at ease. Aerrow felt his luck rapidly turn as he saw a shade of blue in the trees-a very recognisable blue...Radar! Instinctivly Aerrow's steady walk transformed into a clumsy sprint as he headed straight for his co-pilot. He was about a meter away when Radar saw him, acknowledged him then darted off into the thicket of the trees. Aerrow's pace quickened as he followed Radar. He just couldn't understand it. Was Radar leading him to someone? Were the others in danger? Aerrow needed answers and he wanted them now, instead of turning to greet Aerrow however. Radar merely quickened his pace, causing Aerrow to almost lose sight of him. Tired of following straight from behind Aerrow decided to try a different tactic of heading off to the side a bit and cutting Radar off to stop him. Whatever the sky monkey's problem was it could wait a couple of seconds so Aerrow could run with him. His plan worked as he darted past trees, half side stepping half leaping over the bumpy terrain. The teen was now close enough to hear his friends panting as he ran, but he still wouldn't stop. Aerrow was slightly behind but he was keeping his pace. That is until he heard something that made him stop dead in his tracks from bewilderment. He was in so much shock that he didn't even notice he was thinking out loud "...did...i hear...did Radar just speak!"
By now Radar was already out of sight and Aerrow was out of luck, alone on a terra with no knowledge of it and the fear that his team mates needed him.
Although it was a long shot, Aerrow decided to walk a steady pace in the direction that Radar was taking. Not that he was paying much attention to his own direction though. He was far too busy trying to decipher Radar's possible first words. "Theres no mistaking it, Radar looked at me and spoke...but what did he say? It did sound like english but his breathing was so heavy I could barely make it out." The young boy pondered for a while and tried to decode his friend's mumbled words. "Its funny, it almost sounded like he said 'I'm late!' but what could that mean? Late for what?..."
