Me: Light's and Darkness's love. I do not own the storm hawks, now on with the story.
Piper: These are way too short.
Me: I said now on with the story.
Aria paced from one side of the bridge to the other as Piper whispered to Aerrow. He nodded in agreement.
"I like that idea." He whispered a little too loudly.
"If Aerrow likes it, it's clearly trouble." Stork said. Aerrow and Piper glared from their positions at the table.
"How is walking through Terra Hallow's woods asking for trouble?" Piper asked.
"The trees come to life at night and they will wipe you if you come near." Piper winced.
"I told you that was a bad idea Piper. But your second thought I like." Aerrow told her.
"Okay, than ho w is walking through the trees of Cyclonia's loving willows asking for trouble?" Piper asked smirking.
"Oh, now that is a good idea." Stork exclaimed.
"Cyclonian willow trees work as spied for the sky knight council and they grow bright pink blossoms. They are soo pretty. If you walk through those, no one will see you. The trees will cover you front, back, over your head, and to your sides. That's how I got in." Aerrow smiled.
"In a zero vis landing near those trees and leave them there in the woods and walk from there. Supposed to be a door there. Sneak in through there and ruin supplies. A Cyclonian traitor told me that if those supplies in that room the door lead to go bad…Cyclonia would be weakened for a month before they can get the next shipment of food. If we take out their crystals, They will be weakened for quite some time." Piper said.
"And if we wake the weapons, trash the skimmers, they will be pretty much useless." Aerrow finished.
"Now, there an assignment for every one. Stork get's to take apart skimmers with Finn's help. Junko can take on the food. I will get the Crystal's With Aria's help and replace them with lechers. Aerrow and Radar will trash the weapons room and finish rendering them useless. Then we will all meet in the trees and retreat. We got to the Sky knight council and we plot with the other teams how to Finish Cyclonia's demise." Piper explained.
"I like the plan." Aerrow exclaimed as Piper smiled. She was proud of her fairly simple plan. Finn smiled.
"Cool, I get to trash stuff." Finn said. Aria snickered.
"Figures… it's Finn." Aria murmured under her breath. She'd heard a lot about Finn from Harrier and the Absolute Zeros. She'd heard about the things her brother and his 'girlfriend' Piper has done.
"Hey, we should probably grab another team as back up. "Aria said. " You never know when someone is like going to wake up and kidnap someone because they are alone or something." Aria said. Aerrow looked up at her.
"Look who's talking? You went to Cyclonia without back up. You went alone. I'm not stupid enough to do that." Aerrow said.
" Yet you're stupid enough to jump off you're skimmer in the air and let yourself fall. That would be a stupid move if Radar couldn't fly." Aria exclaimed, glaring at Aerrow. Aerrow merely glared back at his sister.
"At least I'm smart enough not to do that with out Radar being able to fly." Aerrow exclaimed.
"Can you two please stop arguing like an old married couple? If you don't stop… it will lead us to a long… terrible… and might I add horrible… doom." Stork grumbled. Piper and Aerrow rolled their eyes.
"Oh yeah, Saphire is going to kill me.
Meanwhile on Terra Rex with Saphire.
"Hey Saphire! Pass the silver present!" A tall pregnant lady called. The pregnant lady had silver hair and purple eyes. She was tall and about 23. She was about 7 months pregnant and extremely excited about her first child as well as nervous.
"Alright Olivia!" Saphire exclaimed picking up a big silver package. Olivia picked up the card that was taped to it.
"'Exciting new fortunes await you…'" Olivia read on the front cover before opening it and reading the inside. " 'And one of those fortunes is the joy from what lays inside you. Congratulations on your first child. I hope it is a healthy young child. Love Aria.' Awe… that is soo sweet."
"Where is Aria?" A lady asked.
"On a mission to take out Cyclonia. She had planed on either have suggested by now or been caught and escaped and here. I wonder what went wrong?" Olivia worried.
"Hey, Don't worry, She's probably fine. I'll ask Harrier to send out word she's missing and someone will tell us she's fine and where she is." Saphire exclaimed. " Now open the present."
Olivia obeys and started to pull off the silver wrapping paper. Inside lay a cradle with ribbons and bear with a mobile that had rainbows, ponies, unicorns, and a little bear. Inside the cradle was a rabbit's fur teddy bear hand made by Aria.
"Oh my god. It's beautiful. Aria must have outdone herself to make this." Olivia gasped as she reads little note.
"This note say she made this for the baby. I told her 4 weeks ago it was a girl and she said ' better start working on the nursery then.' Oh my god. When she returns from her mission she is getting a big hug." Olivia exclaimed.
"Open mine next!" Starling exclaimed. Her cell phone rang at the moment. " Open as I take this call." Starling stood and handed Olivia a purple package before walking into the next room to take the call.
"Hello?" Starling said into the phone before walking into the next room.
"'To the mother to be, and a for a baby girl…'"Olivia opened the card. "' you'll find better comfort and happiness once the package is out. Congratulations.'" Olivia opened the package and found a Baby's dress on the inside.
"Awe…" The girls gasped. Starling walked into the room with a worried look on her face.
"I gotta go. Harrier and the rest of a bunch of squadrons were called. The storm hawks have gone missing. They were supposed to Meet up with Harrier an hour ago and it hasn't happened. The storm hawks we last reported seen about a mile away from Terra rex and is now gone. I'm sure they are fine but I gotta help Harrier."
"Thank you for the gift and coming Starling." Olivia said standing up, being careful not to bump into anything She and Starling hugged and kissed each other on the cheeks like girls do. Starling turned to Saphire.
"Saphire, your brother says to stay here and not leave the Terra." Starling said.
"But why? What If wanna look for the storm hawks too huh?1 What if I-" Saphire started to protest.
"Hey, don't shoot the messenger, your brother will hurt you." Starling said holding her hands up in defense. " I'll you guys later."
"Bye Starling!" A bunch of Females called. Starling Waved and left.
"The storm hawks are missing eh? It doesn't seem right. I'm sure they are up to something." Olivia said as the others nodded in agreement.
"Okay, Open my gift!" Saphire exclaimed picking up a small blue package.
Meanwhile, back with the storm hawks-
Piper sat on the sofa as Stork headed toward Cyclonia.
"Why do I feel like we are forgetting something?" She asked suddenly. Aerrow looked at her as she looked up from the book she was reading. 'Forbidden lovers' the title was. The book as about a Sky knight, Terence, and his Tactics officer, Mora, and how they weren't aloud to be together, forbidden by their parents and the secret love they had for one another. Piper, Aria, and Saphire simply adored the book since it was filled with action, romance, and suspense.
"Because we probably are. It probably has something to do with another squadron." Aerrow exclaimed looked back down to the book he was reading behind a secret cover. The book cover said ' 50 ways to kick a Cyclonians butt' but the real book's title was ' how to wow a female'.
"OMG! We were supposed to meet with the Rex guardians! That's what we forgot!" Piper shrieked jumping up from her seat and running to the radio. She flipped a switch only to have it flipped back down by Aerrow.
"Piper. We are in Cyclonian Territory. They might intercept our message." Aerrow hissed. Piper sighed and returned to her seat.
"Your right. They will probably not be worried and just think we said screw them, forgot or ditched them." Piper murmured as Aria leaned over the edge of the sofa from the back.
"Uh… Piper… the first one and the last one were basically the same thing." Aria exclaimed. Piper half glared half smiled.
"Okay miss technical." Piper exclaimed. Stork turned around from drive the condor.
"W-we're here." He exclaimed shaking nervously. Aerrow, Aria, and Piper nodded and headed off toward their skimmers and fetch Finn and Junko. Piper hopped onto her heliscooter and revved it, half challenging Aerrow and signaling she was ready. Aria laughed and took off with the others close behind her.
Meanwhile with Starling-
"Harrier I'm sure they are fine! Aria is probably fine." Starling said, placing her hand on Harrier's shoulder.
"And what if they're not? What if all the 7 of them are in a cell on Cyclonia? How do we know they're not dead? We don't know anything! How can we-"
"Harrier!" Starling yelled. " Calm down. You freaking out is not going to help us find them. We just use a tracker to find them."
"Sorry, I can't let the Atmos lose the greatest squadron again. The first set of storm hawks vanish because of Dark Ace's betrayal and if Atmos loses the second set of storm hawks… We may never win." Harrier sighed as he sat down on a chair.
"Harrier…" Starling sat down next to him on a chair with a swan carved into it I'm sorry starling but… the Dark Ace was never beaten until Aerrow, Piper, and the others came along. He was never beaten. He won against every sky knight, took prisoners, killed innocents, and did other terrible things. I just don't think I will be able to stand losing them because the Atmos will fall."
"Harrier… we will find them." Starling told him with a confident look on her face. Harrier nodded and went back to sending out calls to see if the Storm Hawks pick up or if someone has seen them.
With Saphire-
"I'll see you later!" Saphire called waving to the rest of the girls as the baby shower ended.
"Bye Saphire! Tell Harrier I said hi!" A tall female with blue hair called.
"I will Tina!" Saphire called over the shoulder as she walked up her walk way. Saphire opened her front door and set her purse down and realized it was extremely dark in the room. She shrugged and walked across the tile of the entry way and onto the carpet of the living room. She heard Harrier sigh from the kitchen. She walked into the room to see Starling sitting at the table staring off into space as Harrier sat there with his chin on the table. Saphire walked toward them, her heels making a clacking noise.
"What's wrong? "Saphire asked opening the fridge to pull out a slice of cake for herself. " You guys want some cake?" She then asked.
"No thanks Saphire." Harrier murmured, sounding depressed and worried.
"Yes, please." Starling said softly. Saphire pulled out another slice and gave it to Starling with a fork. She grabbed her slice and a fork before sitting down at the table.
"What's wrong?" Saphire asked yet a again.
"We've heard no word from the storm hawks or any thing about their where abouts from other squadrons. All the other squadrons have said 'no, we haven't seen them.'. Same thing goes with Aria." Starling sighed taking a bite of her cake.
"I hope they are alright. Atmos won't be able to with stand losing another squadron lost." Saphire sighed.
"That's what I said." Harrier murmured.
Back the storm hawks-
The storm Hawks and Aria landed among some trees and parked their rides.
"Alright guys. You remember the plan?" Everyone nodded before Aerrow continued. " good. Let's fly." The storm Hawks ran off into the woods as the willow light the way with their shining pink blossoms that seemed to glow. Near the edge of the woods Piper found a tree with blue blossoms instead of pink.
"This tree has blue blossoms instead of pink. Why?" Piper asked, looking towards the others.
"According to one of the Cyclonian traitors, that tree is blue instead of pink because it was planted decades ago by a woman named Aura Cyclonis, Cyclonis's ancestor 4 generations back. She was sweet and caring, and won't hurt a fly. She helped other terras and never dreamed of conquering them. However, she fell ill with cancer and the tree is blue in memory of her. Her son however, took over terras when he took over her reingh and his excuse was it was his mothers wish because the terras did not help her when she needed help when they actually attempted to help her but she merely said ' it's my time to go.'
"Master Cyclonis merely follows in her father's foot steps because she was raised that way. She was raised evil, she was abused and she followed, yet she has a weakness for children because she believes if you are nice to a child, they become loyal to you. But the trees here all turn blue the day Aura died. Every year another tree is planted in memory of Aura because that's what Aura did from when she was 4 to when she died. Even when she barely had any strength to walk, she would plant one."
"You really know some serious history." Piper told Aria. Aria shrugged.
"I studied it." Aria exclaimed. They walked toward the doors and opened it and crept into the dark to do their jobs.
Me: Evil aren't I…. Leaving you hanging.
