This is a song from the musical Wicked, a play about the Wicked Witch of the West and her best friend Glinda the Good Witch from The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. I had to cut out small parts of the song because it just didn't go with the story. Once again, my dear cousin chocoholic for ever as edited my work, although there wasn't much she really wanted to change.
Disclaimer: I do not own Storm Hawks or the song "No One Mourns the Wicked" from the musical Wicked.
Storm Hawks—No One Mourns the Wicked
By WhispertheWolf
Together as one army, the Sky Knights had united and attacked Cyclonia. And when the Sky Knights didn't get surrender, they came on full force. In the end, the final blow was struck. Atmos rejoiced.
Good News!
At last, Master Cyclonis was done.
She's dead!
She had been so horrid, so feared throughout all the free Atmos, that she had been called a witch. And now everyone was happy they would have to fear the witch no more.
The witch is dead.
The wickedest witch there ever was,
The enemy of all of us,
Is dead!
The war was over.
Good news!
Cyclonia was finished and wasn't coming back.
Good news!
Look!
The Storm Hawks were as happy as anyone else that the war was over. Aerrow beamed at the thought that he and his friends had helped to bring peace. What more could anyone want?
Let us be glad.
And of course, Aerrow couldn't have done it without his friends, inside or out of his squadron.
Let us be grateful.
And now she was dead, the evilest one of all. And Atmos celebrated.
Let us rejoicify that goodness could subdue,
The wicked workings of You-Know-Who.
Later, Aerrow spoke with his team. "I always dreamed that it would be this way, that the wicked would not prosper no matter how powerful they were. Everyone always knew how the fairytales go, and everyone has been told that's the way it should be. It seems we were right.
"Isn't it nice to know,
That good will conquer evil?
The truth we all believe'll by and by,
Outlive a lie,
For you and…"
Piper interrupted Aerrow's speech, saying, "No one's mourning."
Aerrow stopped and stared at her. "What?"
"I just feel sorry for her," Piper answered. "No one seems to care about her. No one was at her funeral. No one's sobbing for her loss.
"No one mourns the wicked.
No one cries, 'They won't return!'
No one lays a lily on their grave."
"Well, duh!" Finn said. "Why should anyone care about her? She was wicked through and through! Anyone in his right mind would hate her."
Stork nodded in agreement. "If she didn't want to end up where she is, she should have behaved better.
"The good man scorns the wicked!
Through their lives, our children learn,
What we miss
When we misbehave."
Junko sighed. "I feel sorry for her. She must have felt so alone.
"And goodness knows,
The wicked's lives are lonely.
Goodness knows,
The wicked die alone."
Aerrow shrugged. "That was the natural consequence for her actions.
"It just shows that when you're wicked,
You're left only,
On your own."
Piper shook her head. "She had no friends. No one even cared about her even when she was alive.
"Yes, goodness knows,
The wicked's lives are lonely.
Goodness knows,
The wicked cry alone."
"The world's better off without her," Finn countered. "She would never have made the world better for her or for anyone else. She only would have made it worse.
"Nothing grows for the wicked;
They reap only,
What they've sown."
Later the Storm Hawks met with the other Sky Knight squadrons. "You won't believe all the parties and celebrations," Starling said. "Everyone is so delighted.
"No one mourns the wicked.
Now at last, she's dead and gone.
Now at last, there's joy throughout the land."
Harrier stood up with a proud look on his face. "Yes, we earned our victory as much as Cyclonis earned her fate. We were gallant and honorable, while she was evil and wicked. No wonder she had no one to grieve for her.
"And,
Goodness knows,
We know what goodness is.
Goodness knows,
The wicked die alone."
Piper sighed. "And that's why I feel terrible…
"She died alone…"
"Too bad for her," Blister grunted roughly. "She should have treated others as she wanted to be treated.
"Woe to those,
Who spurn what goodnesses,
They are shown."
Piper looked at Aerrow, who put his arm around her shoulder. They, at least, were sorry. But they could not be sad.
No one mourns the wicked…
The other Sky Knights and their squadron members left light-hearted.
Good news!
No one stopped to think there was more to the story.
No one mourns the wicked!
The Talon commanders were locked away on Terra Atmosia and Master Cyclonis was gone, dead at last.
Good news!
Few gave it a second thought. Those who did were sorry. But even though they wanted to feel sorrow, they could not.
No one mourns the wicked!
She was evil. She was cruel and cold.
Wicked!
She had no family and no friends. She cared for no one and no one cared for her. She was alone. Now she is stone-cold.
But she had always cold in her heart.
Wicked!
Really makes you think, doesn't it? Please review!
