The Cyclonian skimmers flew away back onto the air ship.
Junko, Finn and Aerrow, with Radarr, were staring as the talons flew away with their navigator, Piper.
"We can't just stay here and watch! We need to go get her!" Aerrow shrieked, a droplet of blood dripping down his cheek from where the Dark Ace's blade had clipped him.
"Dude, with out one of Piper's lame plans we'll never be able to do it," Finn protested turning and flying back to the condor, with Junko in tow.
Aerrow stayed out for a moment longer and glared at the large air ship, narrowing his eyes, before flying back to the condor himself.
…
On the condor, Finn was re-gelling his hair, just to make it a little spikier, though it didn't need it anyway; Junko was repairing his skimmer with an old wrench that he found in the back of the refrigerator,
As for Aerrow, he was sitting by himself with a piece of cloth covering the cut he had on his head, his hair was wet so he'd clearly been cleaning away the blood.
The white material was already beginning to turn red; he took the cloth away, screwed it up and threw it away.
Shortly after Junko slapped a plaster on his head, making him wince.
…
On board the Air ship, Piper was handcuffed to a pole in the room where most hostages were kept, seeing as she found bloodstains and clothing material.
She rested her head against the pole and sighed loudly, her arms were aching and her leg was itchy and there was nothing she could do about it.
…
Aerrow was sitting on his skimmer, he was going after Piper, and he would bring her back, no matter what the cost.
"Dude, we could all go, just so you know," Finn stated, smirking and handing Aerrow his energy blade,
Aerrow turned to face him, he didn't say anything he just shook his head and zoomed down the runway speeding towards the large cyclonian air ship.
Managing to get on board with out any one seeing, he ordered Radarr to fly back his skimmer; he had some form of contact in a small radio, which was in his pocket.
Aerrow crept silently through the many corridors of the ship, hopefully one of those rooms would contain Piper, the storm hawks navigator.
He then heard heavy footsteps coming from behind him he turned slowly to find a random cyclonian henchman pointing his energy staff at him,
"Hi," Aerrow whispered before darting off down the corridor,
"HEY!" The goon shouted before pursuing Aerrow, and then shooting his staff, the blast hit Aerrow in the back of his leg, causing him to wince and stumble slightly. He managed to tuck himself in a corner as the henchman ran past, either trying to catch him, or tell the higher authorities about his presence on the ship.
Leaning against the wall, Aerrow hurriedly rolled up his trouser leg only to find a deep burn stained in blood,
"Great…" He muttered to himself,
"Aerrow? Is that you?" A familiar voice asked quietly, the redhead looked up to find the blue haired tactician, he smiled when he realized who it was, and then gave out a small laugh noticing she was handcuffed to a large red rod in the middle of the room.
Aerrow limped over to her, then kneeling down and examining the lock on the cuffs.
Then remembering that Piper used a lot of hair clips to hold her hair in place, he snatched one out the side of his head, causing a blue lock to fall past her shoulders.
He shoved the pin in the lock and started twisting and poking around waiting for the telltale click, which followed soon after.
Piper tugged her wrists out of the cuffs and rubbed them, finding they had left marks from where they had been digging into her skin,
"Thank you Aerrow," She whispered hugging him tightly,
Even though Aerrow was shocked he didn't pull away, he just smiled to himself.
The pair then stood up and left the room, until they were greeted at the door by none other than the Dark Ace,
"Hello Aerrow," He said maliciously lighting up his blade,
Aerrow rummaged around in his pocket and pulled out the radio and handed it to Piper,
"Call Stork, get Radarr to bring over my skimmer," he whispered giving her the small device, Piper ran off only just missing a violent red blast from the Dark Ace.
Dark Ace turned to face Aerrow, who was staring into his red eyes,
"You know, Aerrow," He said calmly walking over to him, "With a little polishing off, you'd make a good talon,"
Aerrow lit up his energy blades and narrowed his eyes,
"Maybe, is I was dead," Aerrow retaliated, smirking,
Dark Ace smiled evilly and walked over to the red head,
"I tell you what, if I win this, you loose everything, your squadron, your friends and you sky knight status, and you follow my rules under the cyclonian empire," He stated proudly,
"And if I win," Aerrow thought for a moment biting his top lip then slouching, he then stood up straight, "I get your energy blade,"
Dark Ace's eyes widened, he then stared at the 2 hands long blade in his hand, and then shot a glare at Aerrow,
"Deal," He said calmly, sending a blast Aerrow's way, which he dodged, making it look easy, but for Aerrow is wasn't,
The sharp pain in his leg where the goon had hit him before was getting worse, but he couldn't lose to Dark Ace and he couldn't become a talon.
…
Running frantically around the corridors of the air-ship Piper was trying to get hold of Stork on the radio,
"Condor? Come in Condor, do you read me?" Piper blurted down the small machine,
"Loud and clear," A quiet and nervous voice replied over the static, obviously Stork,
"Stork would you do me a favour and send Radarr over here with Aerrow's skimmer?" Piper answered,
In the background she heard Finn shouting,
"Is he okay? I thought he had the radio!" he screeched,
"He did!" Piper shouted back, "He's busy at the moment"
Another voice was heard over the intercom,
"With what?" Junko asked
…
Dark Ace's blade crashed into the wall and next to Aerrow's face, the red blade was impaled into the wall and there was no chance of it coming out,
Aerrow's eyes were wide; staring at how close the blade was to his head, his gaze then travelled over to the Dark Ace and his shocked expression soon turned incredibly brash.
"You want it? Take it," Dark Ace murmured,
"Well its no good to me now!" Aerrow blurted, "It's stuck in a wall, and it will be pretty dented, you keep it," he added pointing at the blade and then running out of the room before Dark Ace had a chance to fight back.
"You wait Aerrow…" Dark Ace hissed to himself, cursing the boy as he attempted to pull the sword out of the wall.
…
Running down the murky corridor with a few scrapes and bruises was Aerrow, trying to get on the deck as fast as he could, hopefully out running an infuriated cyclonian talon.
Turning his head back to see what was behind him, he found he had run into someone and had hit the floor with a thud, sitting up sharply to see what it was, he sighed with relief when he found Piper sitting opposite him,
"You're okay!" Piper screamed,
"That I am," Aerrow stated smiling, standing up and holding out his hand, Piper took hold of it and Aerrow helped her stand,
Piper started panicking,
"We have to get to the deck! Radarr will be here any minute!" She screeched running in the opposite direction, Aerrow grabbed her arm before she could get any further,
"It's that way." Aerrow said blankly using his head to signal the other way,
"Oh," Piper replied, before running off with Aerrow.
…
Flying the skies, Radarr was in the driving seat, he wasn't big enough to fill the entire space, but then again neither was Aerrow.
He was finding the foot breaks hard to reach because his legs were short, where as Aerrow's were long, very long, so Radarr was hopping all over the skimmer, making sure it was in the proper gear, not seeing what was coming next he made a crash landing,
Luckily on the deck of the cyclonian air-ship, finding a very relieved looking Piper and a content Aerrow.
Chirping at the pair, they helped him get the skimmer into place.
Now the pilot's seat was taken up, with Piper on the back and Aerrow driving, Radarr was back in his side carriage, just the way he liked it.
Hopefully the trio would get back on the condor with out any problems.
