Chapter 1 - The First Move

As he silently and quickly walked down the maze of corridors Talons automatically jumped out of the way or they shuddered and ran into each other. Dark Ace was one of the most feared people in all of Atmos. But what would you expect people to do when the one guy that had managed to take down the original Storm Hawks single handed walked by? I wouldn't expect them to stay where they were unless they were stupid or a Sky Knight themselves. He rounded one last corner and made a group of new Talons jump. As he approached the door to where he intended on going he grinned and entered.

"You wished to see me Master Cyclonis?" said Dark Ace as he slowed down a comfortable pace as he headed down to the main area of Master Cyclonis's 'work' room.

"Ah, Dark Ace, yes I do. I would like you to do me a massively important job," she replied as she stood and walked over to him. She diverted over to a table and picked up a small piece of paper then handed it over to Dark Ace.

"You can keep hold of this photo as a small token, but I need you to bring me that girl. She will give us a slight advantage over the Storm Hawks," Master Cyclonis leered.

"Excellent idea: I'll leave as soon as I have a lead on where she is," he replied, eyes still fixed on the photograph. Dark Ace knew exactly who she was but something inside of him screamed to not go.

"Right now she is on her home Terra, south of our border. Go and get her, bring her back here and we can put my new plan into full swing. Now go!" exclaimed Master Cyclonis. Dark Ace nodded and swiftly exited the room. For a few seconds he leaned up against the wall outside practically hoping that he wouldn't be recognised.
