No, I am not abandoning my other fics, I just wanted to start a new one that's been floating around in my head for a while.

This is my first Storm Hawks fanfic that's longer than one chapter, so we'll see how it turns out.

I give credit for the original inspiration to Saerphe and her story The Blind Warrior and the Butcherbird. Go check her out, she's amazing. Anyway, the story involves an assassin being hired by Master Cyclonis to kill Aerrow. Something in it triggered an idea, and this fic came into being!

All romance is between characters, no OCs.

This chapter is just a short introduction, not much.

I do not own Storm Hawks (I so wish I did).

A dark violet figure stood in an equally dark room. A figure dressed in a black cloak stood behind her. "You have your orders," the young girl said.

"Aerrow of the Storm Hawks."

"You will be rewarded."

"Of course, my queen."

"Do you no longer trust me?" A voice from the shadows asked, a man dressed in the red armour, her most trusted warrior, or so he thought.

"I trust you. Just not in regards to that brat."

"Very well."

"Leave me. Both of you."

Aerrow flew around carelessly on his skimmer, sneezing.

"Someone's talkin' about you," Finn joked.

Piper watched from the hangar, amused. Her Sky Knight was playing Keep Away with the guys. She laughed as he lost the ball, keeping that silly smile on his face. She worried about him. The Cyclonians were getting more and more desperate to kill him. Her smile was suddenly forced. She knew she'd do anything to keep him safe. The other boys too. But would it be enough?

He sat back in his chair. "This could be an opportunity," he mused. "Help the Storm Hawks, and get what I want." He smiled in anticipation, looking forward to attaining his desire.

-------------------

There we go. Like I said, short, but sweet. Just a quick intro that will lead into the action.

So who's the mystery man at the end of the chapter? You'll just have to wait and see! ^^ Don't hold your breath though.

See you next time!
