Chapter One
Azure and crimson energy raced through the air in a chaotic dance as Aerrow and Dark Ace fought each other, twin daggers and double-bladed long sword clashing together.
"I don't want to fight you!" Aerrow shouted as both he and Dark Ace pushed for dominance of their crossed blades.
Dark Ace stared at his opponent in surprise, watching as Aerrow's narrowed jade eyes widen in shock. He didn't have time to react as Aerrow pushed him away and to the side with a burst of surprising strength, just before a amethyst-crimson coloured energy blast tore through the young sky knight's chest.
Ruby eyes snapped open, as the occupant of the bed shot into a sitting position, sweat shimmered on his skin as he slowed his heartbeat, forcing himself to breath normally.
'That dream, again.' Dark Ace ran a hand through his hair in frustration. 'It's been coming more and more frequently……It doesn't make any sense….Why does it keep haunting me?!'
Dark Ace shook his head in annoyance, before standing and starting to dress, he wouldn't get anymore sleep now.
Aerrow's forest eyes snapped open as a knock on the door woke him from his slumber. Yawning, he pulled himself to his feet and strode to the door, opening it to reveal a winded Finn.
"What's wrong?" Aerrow asked, concerned as Finn leaned against him momentarily.
"Piper made me come get you." the blonde sharpshooter said, as Aerrow put a hand on his shoulder to steady him. "There's a weird energy signature happening that she wants to show you."
Aerrow pulled his armour on and nodded, hitting the panel to shut his room door, Radarr jumping onto his shoulder.
The garnet haired sky knight turned to his friend, "Let's go."
They had only begun walking to the bridge when an alarm cut through the relative quiet.
Exchanging a quick glance, Aerrow and Finn took off.
Making it into the bridge, Aerrow was immediately assaulted by the alarms warning lights, Piper's and Junko's worried looks, and Stork filling out his Will.
"What happened?" Aerrow demanded, as he turned off the harsh warning system, Radarr jumping to the ground.
"Talons!" Stork said, his left eye twitching, "A lot of them! We're doomed!"
"Calm down Stork." Aerrow replied to the skitterish merb, before turning to look at Piper.
"There really is a lot of them this time Aerrow, not just Talons, there are battle airships out there and I think Master Cyclonis may be on board one of them as well!" Piper reported, for once looking just as nervous as Stork.
"What are they all here for?" Finn wondered out loud from his spot standing near Junko.
"We haven't been spotted yet, I suggest we leave," Stork added, "Before we die a horribly painful death."
Aerrow frowned, before his expression cleared. "What did you want to tell me about an energy signature?"
Piper regained some of her cheerfulness, grabbing her charts as Aerrow walked over to the table. "It's possible that whatever is giving off this reading is what they're after."
Aerrow studied the charts thoughtfully, as his other squadron members gathered around him.
"There's only one thing to do," Aerrow stated straightening up.
"Yep, there it is, the 'we're going on a dangerous mission' look." Finn sighed.
"We can't allow them to get to whatever this thing is." The redhead looked towards his team with a confident smile.
Finn grinned back reluctantly, "Yeah I know, I'm there with you, buddy."
Junko gave a thumbs up, as Piper cheered.
Stork sighed ever long suffering, while stating "We're done for," before going to the Condors controls and following after the Cyclonians.
