"Wow, I can't believe it, we're here, I'm here." I said dreamily as I landed my skimmer in the hangar bay of the Condor.
"We believe it Nix." The familiar voice of Ranndi said as she pulled her skimmer up beside mine.
I got off my skimmer which I had painted white, blue, and black with the Storm Hawks symbol on the wing in black. I pulled of my double-bladed sword( a gift from grandpa) from the back of my skimmer. It had a black crystal powering it, then I examined my aqua -green crystal bracelet(this one being from my dad). I looked over my uniform. Black and blue. Blue shirt and pants, one long black sleeve, the other blue, and black patches, pus long white boots.
I felt a swell of excitement. "I'm now a Storm Hawk." I stated happily.
"Don't you mean 'we're now Storm Hawks'?"
i looked over at Ranndi so he could see my sarcastic eye role. She was my 14-year old aunt. Her skimmer was painted blue, gray and the Storm Hawks symbol was white with a black outline. Her uniform was white. And gray with gray patches. One of her arms was covered by a long white sleeve, the other bare, her pants were a dark gray, and her boots were red. I noticed that thanks to the uniform, Ranndi's pale tan skin stood out more thanks to her blackish-brown hair that was into a ponytail leaving the front to almost cover her right eye almost. The really unique thing about Ranndi were her eyes, I had always been slightly jealous of that. Her eyes were a silvery-blue, grey-green, and hazel all at the same time (cat eyes, Aerrow jokingly called them once). She also had a necklace, bracelet, and anklet of the same aqua-green crystal as mine, except hers had a sun, moon and star carved onto them. I then finally saw the energy kama in a holder strapped to her back, which was powered by a gray crystal.
"Yes, I mean we." I rephrased.
We both turned our heads to the automatic door as it opened and Aerrow came in smiling. "Welcome to the Storm Hawks." He greeted cordially.
Ranndi returned his smile. "Hey Sparrow." she said using her cute rhyming nickname for him.
"Hey Pandy." Aerrow said using his own nickname for her.
I decided to cut in. "Does everyone know that were here?" I asked.
"Yes, in fact, they're on the bridge." Aerrow replied.
We followed him to the bridge and when we got there, everyone looked happy to see us, even Stork didn't look as paranoid of us and the "doom" he said we'd bring.
"Hey everyone!" I greeted happily.
Junko suddenly pulled me and Ranndi into a bear hug. "Phoinix! Ranndi!" He greeted back.
"It's finally nice to have other girls to talk to too now." Piper said as she put us down.
"Ditto." Ranndi said.
Finn sauntered up to Randi smiling. "Why hello again Ranndi." he said. "Did you miss me?"
Ranndi giggled. "Down boy."
I giggled as well when Finn pulled back frowning.
Aerrow must've thought it was funny too, cause he had on an amused smile. "Now, our next mission is to get the Phoenix crystal." he looked at me. "No reference to you intended."
I sighed in mock relief. "Good. So, where's that crystal?"
