Due to the request of a friend who has repeatedly wanted this story started (cough)CW(cough) I have finally got off my ass and put it up.

Me no own Storm Hawks.

Enjoy and review!

"Aerrow! Be careful!" called Piper as she kicked down a Talon and began to fight an attacking Talon.

Cyclonia was attempting to take over Amazonia…again, and were just about to succeed when the Storm Hawks managed to show up, just in time. Like usual, the heavy rain was making the battling more difficult, not to match the snapping lightning and echoing thunder were factors too. Grunting as he blocked a particularly vicious attack from the Dark Ace, Aerrow swung his energy blades at him, only to have the Cyclonian champion block it. Where they were currently battling on, Dark Ace's switchblade, was getting unusually slippery for a skimmer of that style. Both champions moved too fast and lost their footing, causing them to fall off the skimmer. Both of them groaned as they crashed into the soggy rainforest ground, luckily that was able to soften the landing. Leaping back onto their feet, the two fighters barely avoided a crack of lightning that hit a puddle near them. Clashing their energy blades against the others, sparks flew as red and blue light radiated off their faces. Clenching their teeth from the force they were using to overpower the other, they staggered away as a particularly loud wave of thunder shook the terra. Less than a second later, Dark Ace and Aerrow had resumed their duel, standing in a rather large pool of water. Before they knew it, a crack of lightning struck the water, sending several volts of electricity to Aerrow and Dark Ace. Both of them fell to the ground, a large amount of volts surging through their bodies. With a few quick and final surges, both of them were motionless and lying unconscious in the water. "Aerrow!" Piper cried and Piper, Junko, Finn, and Radarr raced to their Sky Knight.

Landing next to Dark Ace, Ravess had rivers of tears streaming down her face and lifted the Dark Ace, with a strength they never knew she had, onto her skimmer and flew into the sky, the rest of the Cyclonian Talons following her. Hearing the Condor land close to them, Junko heaved Aerrow onto his skimmer and they all rode frantically onto their carrier ship. Lying him on the couch, Piper ordered, "Stork! Get us to Terra Atmosia ASAP!!"

Sitting anxiously in the waiting room of the Terra Atmosia General Hospital, the doctor entered the room, causing the rest of the Storm Hawks to leap onto their feet. Piper questioned, "How is he?!"

The doctor replied, "He's stable. The electrocution triggered a heart attack. A massive one. He's resting at the moment, but you can go see him."

Guiding them down the halls into Aerrow's hospital room, they saw Aerrow lying on his bed, in an aqua hospital gown, flipping through channels on small TV with the remote. He had a pale face with huge rings under his eyes and his eyes even seemed a little faded. Flipping off the TV when he saw the rest of his squadron, he laid back down into the reclined bed to a more comfortable position before commenting, "Have you ever watched daytime TV? It's so friggen horrible." He noticed the doctor standing near them. "So, what's up Doc? Apart from the sky."

Quickly scanning through the charts, the doctor started, "Your heart suffered severe damage to-"

Sitting up with venom in his currently vicious light emerald eyes, Aerrow sneered, "How long do I have? Cause I know you're gonna say I'm dying."

"You have about three weeks." the doctor answered, recoiling before he quickly began to leave the room.

Piper asked, "Wait! There's gotta be some treatment or something."

"I'm sorry, but all we can do is pray. We can't work miracles." The doctor told her before finally exiting Aerrow's hospital room.

Sitting in a chair next to the bed, Junko reassured, "Aww, don't worry Buddy. You'll be as good as new. We'll get you all patched up."

Finn added, "Yeah, he doesn't know the Aerrow we-"

Aerrow interrupted as he lied back onto his bed, "Sorry guys. Looks like you'll be leaving Atmosia without me." He gave Radarr a serious look. "Radarr, you better take care of my skimmer, or I swear, I'll haunt your behind."

Sitting on the foot of Aerrow's bed, Piper frowned and huffed, "That's not funny."

"Aww, c'mon Piper. You gotta admit it's a little funny."

"No it isn't. It isn't funny at all."

"Look, what can I say Piper. It's a dangerous gig and I drew the short straw. So did Dark Ace. We both drew the short straws of the pack. Luck wasn't with us. That's all there is to it."

"There's still options."

"What options are there? You bury me or cremate me. Oh, and don't make my room into something completely retarded. Make it into something cool like a-"

"Aerrow."

"Oh, and if you do decide to bury me, bury me on Terra-"

"AERROW!!"

"Piper. Don't yell. You have to be quiet. This is a hospital."

"Aerrow. Don't talk like that."

"Why not? I'm kicking the bucket in about three weeks. And Finn, if you take anything out of my room, I swear, I'll haunt your-"

"You're not."

"What?"

"You're not gonna die. I'm not gonna let you die period."

"Piper. I'm dying. And you can't stop it."

"Watch me. Snapped Piper and she stood up.

"Piper. Wait. Let's just talk-" Aerrow trailed off when he realized that the rest of the Storm Hawks had left his hospital room. Turning on the TV, he began to flip through the channels again. "Man, daytime TV sucks!"

Wow. Really polite Aerrow huh?

Reviewz!
