Terra Neverlandis

Prologue

"Piper, where are we?" shouted Aerrow from where he was standing next to Stork at the wheel, fighting to stay upright as the ship rocked dangerously under the strain of the malicious storm outside.

Quickly, he surveyed his surroundings. Stork was wrestling with the steering wheel trying to keep the Condor from being blown away by the fierce wind, Junko was growling from the effort it took to keep the ship together, while Piper was steadying herself by placing both her hands, palms open, onto the table in front of her as she tried in vain to pinpoint their location on the map.

Finn on the other hand was being… Finn. Just to put it simply, he had grabbed onto one of the legs of the table Piper was working on and was screaming his head off. Suddenly, Aerrow heard a loud squeak near his ear and turned to focus his attention on Radarr.

"Don't worry, buddy," he reassured his co-pilot, "we'll make it."

Radarr squeaked again and this time his eyes were wide with fear. Aerrow did have to agree with him, from the way things looked at the moment, they were in a pretty tight spot.

"Piper," he said again and had to shout to be heard above Finn's wailing, Stork's screaming and the sound of protesting metal.

As he approached her, the confusion on the girl's face was apparent as she checked over her charts.

"I don't understand," she whispered shaking her head, "there are no storms in this area, never. What happened?"

"Piper," Aerrow called to get her attention.

She looked up at him disoriented.

"Where are we?" he repeated.

Piper looked out of the Condor's windows blankly just as they broke through the cloud cover and into the sunlight.

"We are home," she replied mechanically, "at Terra Neverlandis."

For a moment, they all stood still and deadly quiet, looking outside at the unbelievable sight that presented itself to them. The tiny slither of a terra that had once been Piper, Arrow and Finn's home was bathed in sunlight. Little had changed since the last time they'd been here. Their fort, still intact, stood under the lone tree at the highest point of the terra and the thin, winding path snaked from it to the forest bellow, where it disappeared in the thick vegetation.

As beautiful as they found their home, it wasn't what they were staring at now in disbelief. It was the storm that held their attention. It wasn't near the terra; it surrounded the terra and spread for hundreds of miles out from it. Instead of moving, the hurricane stayed still, making sure to always keep its eye trained on the terra as if not to harm it.

"This is not a normal storm," Piper said at last, shaking her head in apprehension, "someone is using a Windstone Crystal."

"Em, guys," Stork's voice broke through their musing, "I don't want to interrupt your fun, but doom is approaching, fast."

They all turned to look at their carrier pilot who was looking through one of the ship's periscopes, his whole body shaking.

"What is it Stork?" asked Aerrow just as the ship's alarms went off.

The Merb looked at him over his shoulder, one eye twitching. "Cyclonians."


Okay, that's it for now as I've been banned from using the computer for the rest of this week (it's my sister's fault, sadly). I promise that I'll update ASAP. Please review and thank you for reading. *o*
