Storm Hawks fan fic
A Different Beginning
What if Cyclonis was simply a puppet queen and the true leader of Cyclonia was actually the Dark Ace who killed her parents and grandmother and of course the rest of Atmos learns of this because of Starling's information, how much of the story diverts from the original, I'm not sure yet and of course for all purposes I will be calling Cyclonis, Lark when meets the storm hawks and she'll still have her genus but she and other characters will be somewhat of very OOC since this is an AU, pairings – AerrowxCyclonis, PiperxFinn
chapter 1: Cyclonis' Escape
Cyclonis looks out the window with a sombre look knowing that as long as Dark Ace was there she'd never be free, but she isn't foolish enough to try escape because of fear that she'd be killed by him like the rest of her family. She sighs wondering if being free is just a dream though if just for a second she'd like to feel it.
At that moment Starling entered the room, of course not knowing who's room it was was shocked, Cyclonis on the other hand wasn't surprised at all, and so decided not to turn around. Starling kept her act together and said "sorry Master Cyclonis, I am new here and had gotten lost". Cyclonis laughed "you don't really have to lie, not that I'm surprised since just like me your a bird trapped in a cage, but unlike me you can escape at any time"
Starling pulled out her weapon pointing it at the unarmed Cyclonis and demanded "what do you mean by that" Cyclonis chuckled darkly "I am no more than a pupped dancing on a string, however my strings have cut and I have fallen to the floor unable to stand". Starling at first doubted what she was implying but decided to try dig further "if that is the case, who is in control and what are they after".
Cyclonis turned to Starling and mumbled "Dark Ace desires power, and his current objective is the Aurora stone". Even though Cyclonis was frighted and uneasy with the weapon in front of her she kept a stoic face looking Starling in the eyes telling her to warn Atmos. Unexpectedly a female guard walked in with a tray of food, Starling took this to her advantage knocked the tray out of her hands and knocked her out. Starling then said hastily "get changed into her cloths" Cyclonis simply nodded and proceeded to do so. Starling dragged her out and hastily made her way to the hanger which was luckily not well guarded. She and Starling got onto a skimmer and stealthily made their escape, through the wastelands to go to Terra Atmosia.
At the same time Aerrow was flying through the wastelands both nearly crashing into each other and as a result Cyclonis fell off, Aerrow reacted quickly and grabbed her, not knowing who she was of course. Cyclonis' heart was beating fast out of fear, Aerrow's immediate reaction upon seeing the Cyclonian uniforms was to use his remaining hand to pull out one of his lightning blades. Starling said immediately "we're not your enemies, I'm Starling and I'm going to report to the sky knight council" Aerrow looked as she removed the googles from her face, surprised that it was indeed Starling. Putting his weapon back he pulled the shaking Cyclonis up, Aerrow asked curiously "What's your name". Cyclonis' was still afraid but mumbled loud enough for them to hear "Lark" she hadn't used her real name for such a long time that it felt foreign to her tongue ". They made their way to Atmosia.
