Origin
Chapter One: Finn
Finn was seven when the Cyclonians came to his home on Terra Atmosia. Once news of the Storm Hawks demise had reached Atmosia the Sky Knight Council had tried to prepare for the worst but when the Talons came they weren't ready. No one was. "Run!" Finn's mother cried as she and his father barricaded the door. "Emily, take your brother and run!" Emily, Finn's older sister grabbed her little brother and ran to the back door. "We can't leave mommy and daddy!" Finn wailed. "We have to!" Emily said. The Cyclonians had managed to break down the back door just as the siblings reached it. Emily screamed and Finn cried. "Run Finn!" Emily cried as she got in-between her brother and the Talons. "Get out of here while you still can!" she picked up a splinter covered piece of wood from the door and held it up defensively. "I won't leave you!" Finn cried as tears ran down his cheeks.
Emily looked over her shoulder at him. "Please Finn," she begged as tears began to roll down her face as well. "Please." Finn could only watch in horror as the lead Talon, the Dark Ace himself cut his sister down. Finn was frozen for a minute before he turned and ran. He saw his father on the street fighting and his mother lying on the ground dead. The little boy ran up the stairs, trying to get away. "Follow him!" he heard the Dark Ace yell. "Leave no survivors!" Finn ran harder until he reached his room. He slammed the door behind him and turned the key in the lock even though he knew that wouldn't hold them. He turned desperately to the window and pulled it open. The whole Terra was in flames. People lay dead on the streets.
Finn grabbed onto the zip-line he and Emily had made from their rooms to their tree house. Finn zipped along the line to the tree house. The Talons didn't come for him. He cut the line and pulled up the ladder so that no one could follow him. He sat there alone, listening to the war raging outside. He lit the lanterns and pulled a blanket around his small shoulders. His once bright blue eyes were now dull with sadness and fear. His blond hair was dirty and sweaty but he didn't care. A stuffed teddy bear sat next to him and he grabbed it. Finn buried his face in the teddy's soft fur and cried. He sobbed hard and long. He didn't know when and he didn't know how but he must've fallen asleep because when he woke up everything was quiet. It was to quiet.
Still clutching his teddy, Finn stuck his head out the window and took in the devastation. His house was in ruins along with almost every other building on the Terra. He saw people who he'd known his whole life lying dead on the street. The Talons were gone, leaving their horrible flag flying from the tallest tower and Finn's home in smoking ruins. Finn saw people from Atmosia alive, flying away to seek refuge somewhere else. They were leaving Finn behind. Finn scrabbled down the ladder and ran to what was left of his house.
He saw Emily's body and ran over to her. "Em?" he asked quietly as tears threatened. "Emmy? Can you hear me?" she didn't answer. He rolled her over gently and nearly threw up at the amount of blood covering her dress. Tears poured down his cheeks like rivers as he brushed some of his sisters golden hair away from her eyes. Her ocean blue eyes were open and frozen in a look of fear and pain. Finn carefully closed them and took his sister's hand in his. "I'm sorry Emmy." He sobbed. "I'm sorry!"
Finn ran back to his tree house and brought down three blankets. He covered Emily's body with one then his mother's then his father's. He wanted to do something for the others as well so he went to the big furniture store that had been torn apart from the fight and found as many blankets as he could. He covered everybody he could so they would know that even in death someone still cared for them. Finn may have been young but he knew what he had to do. He found his father's old skimmer and stuffed a few things and his teddy bear into a back pack before starting up the skimmer. Finn was glad he knew how to pilot a skimmer, otherwise he'd probably be in even more trouble.
As he flew away he looked back over his shoulder at his home. He knew that the people of Atmosia would return and rebuild their home but he wouldn't go back. There was nothing left for him there now. So he turned to face the horizon. He had no idea where he was going but it had to be better than this.
