Disclaimer: I do not own Storm Hawks, but I do own this story, the original characters, and anything new that I made in this story. I don't know if there are communication crystals, or, if there are, what color they are, so don't get angry at me, okay?

Piper stared blankly at the communication crystal in her hands. It glowed an eerie black and had a spear-like, oblong shape to it.
She sighed softly and slid her eyes closed. She clutched the crystal in her hands, feeling an odd, uneven pulse coming from the crystal. Piper held it to her chest and tried to clear her mind.
You have one day to make your choice. I'll be waiting until then, little one…
The blue haired girl slowly opened her eyes and stood up from her bed, a new found fire shining in her eyes.
She walked swiftly to her closet and pulled out two books, ten crystals, her staff, and a large duffel bag. She carefully placed the two thick, worn books in first, and then placed the crystals. Piper took a hold of her staff and separated it into three pieces. The blue haired girl placed the pipes into her bag and zipped the bag shut.
She grabbed the two handles and left her room. But before the door slid closed, she sped walked back into her quarters and went to her old, rusty desk. Her gaze landed on a group picture of her and the Storm Hawks when they first joined. The tanned girl picked up the photo and stared.
The team was standing in front of the Condor, when it wasn't as badly damaged as it was now. She and Aerrow were standing next to each other in the middle of the photograph. Aerrow had his left arm lifted in the air with a grin that cut his face in half. Piper mirrored the red head. Finn was caught while in mid-air, back then jumping behind the two in order to get in the picture better. His face was contorted into a look of sheer concentration, with the blond not even looking at the camera. Junko was to the left of Aerrow, his arms looking like a giant blur, due to the fact that he was waving frantically at the time. The strongman had his eyes closed, and his mouth was open like he was saying something to the camera. Stork was off to Piper's right, slouching heavily. He had a sheepish smile on his face and looked to be trying to get out of the picture.
The amber eyed girl smiled sadly at the picture. She turned the frame over and removed the photograph from the frame. She tucked it into her pocket and left her room.
She looked back and smiled softly at her room. The amber eyed girl let tears fall down her face.
"Goodbye, everyone. I love you all so much…"
