The Dawning of the Red Valkyries.
Chapter 1
I walked down the halls of the phoenix late at night which was something I have been doing a lot for the last three weeks as have had a lot time thinking about my past and have come to terms with it and myself even though im a sky knight I kill my foes because me and my crew all know wars aren't won by sparing the enemy or giving them a chance to flee as they will return with larger forces. Many squadrons have met us and may find our methods extreme but they understand they get the job done as they can't argue with the results of our tactics.
I and my crew are family and we will always have each other's backs and make so the world might not overtake us. The members are myself, Raven, Jackson my best friend, Devin, Drake, zero my half vampire friend and Arianna but she has been acting weird for the last few days and far out of character of the Cheerful and always level headed sister we all know and love but lately she has been acting easily irritated and darker and refuses to speak to me as I see myself as her brother and her my sister. It all started after a battle she had with Cyclonis a couple days ago and she hasn't been herself since but maybe im worrying too much. Everyone else was acting normal. Raven was always at my side fawning over me like a lost puppy and looking after everyone's injuries and doing crystal work. I know she has an obsessive crush on me but I just think of her as my little sister. Devin is flying the ship and is on par with stork of the storm hawks when it comes to flying skill and possibly a little better as our ship is the sister ship to the legendary condor but upgraded with modern equipment and restored to her full glory along with our shield generator. Zero is in the cargo bay as that is where it's darkest in the ship and comes out to get food or talk when he isn't training or sleeping. Drake is our heavy ballistics specialist and he is a wallop with brown eyes and hair and is usually friendly unless you threaten us or you're a cyclonian. Then there is me. I am Blade strike the second son of lightning strike and twin brother to Aerrow strike the SkyKnight of the New Storm Hawks. I am the SkyKnight of the red Valkyries And slayer of Repton and his armies and I am known as the Crimson knight and all the cyclonians fear me and my Squadron as we have defeated several talon fleets permanently along with several of their most elite and experienced commanders and soldiers and that includes nightcrawlers. And this is our story.
Blade? I turn around to find raven dressed in a nightgown that went past her knees. Oh hey raven. I say in reply. She looks at me concerned and says your nightmares bothering you again? No there not but I am having trouble sleeping lately but I don't know why and you should go back to bed and before you ask yes it's my turn to cook today so I will be making everybody's
Favourite breakfast foods. She smiles and returns to her room. I walk down the hall back to my room and get dressed after taking a shower in civilian clothing and take my sword of the wall mount and leave to train in the cargo hold as I knew zero was already awake and training with his crossbow as he is half vampire but doesn't burn in the daylight. When I walk in he stops shooting and he smiles and says nightmares bothering you again blade? No Zero they aren't its He what's gotten into Arianna that has me concerned as well as how the cyclonians seem to know where we are and I want you to keep an eye on her as I think she has betrayed us. I say
And he replies as we spar with blades and hand to hand. Come on Arianna a traitor to us? Please she is one of us through and through and now the storm hawk are asking us to help them raid Cyclonia for A Powerful Crystal but I will do as you asked. Thank you I say as we finished. I walked out of the cargo bay and onto the bridge to start cooking breakfast as the sun was coming up and everybody would be awake soon. It was right on time everyone woke and had breakfast and Went about our routine and had Devin plot course to rendezvous with the Storm hawks. It was a couple hours later we me with them and they came aboard our ship and all was well until my brother said to my crew so who is your leader and where is he?
Raven then said he is .and points to me and Aerrow gasps and says Blade?.
