Second Chappie! Yay!
As I said in the first chappie's Author Note, I'm not the only writer here! It's me, nmr05, and Tempest Hawk! He's an awesome plot writer
Disclaimer: Neither I nor Tempest Hawk own Storm Hawks or Dragon Booster. If I'm not mistaken, Nerd Corps does.

Piper sat in her room, her eyes red from crying. She looked at the picture she clutched in her hands, and another silvery tear trickled its way off her cheek. It was of her and Aerrow on Tropica. They had just gotten out of the ocean, running away from a water-balloon-armed Finn.
But now, She sullenly thought to herself, now I'll never be able to see him again. Not on Tropica, not on Blizzaris, not even on Atmosia. Not ever again.
All the Storm Hawks were grave, but Piper was down-right inconsolable. She had been sitting in her room for the past four hours and hadn't spoken to anyone. Not even Stork. Finn had knocked on her door, trying to get her to come out, but he made no avail.
She heard someone outside her door, followed by a soft knock.
"Finn! I said go away!" She called out.
"Piper…" She immediately recognized the voice.
"Starling? Please, I want to be left alone."
"Please Piper, its important!" The teen was about to say something, but was left stunned at what Starling said next. "Piper, Aerrow may still be alive."

"Last one to the end of the wastelands is a yellow-bellied Newt!" Artha called out as he, Lance, and Parm raced through the barren landscape.
"Aw, that's not fair! You have Parm's new level 3 boosting gear!"
"Lance, for all I know, this gear could blow up the minute Beau activates it!"
"I heard that! And remember, you have to try that gear out. It could help you a lot in the up-coming races," Parm called out.
"Ha, sorry professor Parmesan. Don't worry, I'll try this gear out, but, just as soon as Beau has enough room to run that fast without crashing into anything."
A huge grey flash of light came from about a mile into the wastelands.
"Um, Artha...?" Lance looked towards his brother as Fracshun slid to a stop.
"Huh, my scanners don't show anything there. What do you suppose that was?" Parm asked as Cyrano, too, slid to a stop.
"I don't know, but maybe we should check it out. It could be the shadow booster."
"Well, we should probably split up if we're gonna find whatever that was. I don't know about you guys, but I have no idea where whatever that thing would be," stated Lance.
"You have a point there. Parm, you go west. Lance, go east. I'll go north."
With that, the trio headed out to find this 'mysterious light'.

Aerrow woke with a groan and immediately took in his surroundings.
Grey, grey, and more grey. Where the heck am I?
He slowly stood up, but stiffened as soon as he heard what sounded to be a whole lot of huge animals approaching toward his little spot. He looked around, desperately trying to find some sort of hiding place. He spotted a small crevice a few meters away and quickly ran for it, only to skid to a stop as a pair of huge red eyes appeared from its darkness.
The redhead's eyes grew wide as a huge purple beast came crawling out of the hole. He heard a growl from behind him, and he swung his head around only to find five more of the same animals staring him in the face. He was surrounded. Again, he desperately searched around, but this time, for a way out. The growls from the beasts grew larger and more menacing as they crept closer and closer.
His eyes locked onto a small outcropping of rock, just tall enough to be out of the beasts' reach, but short enough for him to easily climb onto. He ran towards it, a vital mistake seeing as one of the beast easily swung his huge paw into him. He fell to the ground, and everything went black.
