AN : Hi everyone, I'm back =) . I'd like to give a shout out to writestyle and The SPAZtastic lawlrus (love your pen name xD) for their advice and OrangeElfGirl for her enthusiastic review that made me update a lot faster.

Also, while reading please keep in mind that my first language isn't English so there can be a few mistakes in here, I'm trying my hardest to prevent that though.

Enjoy!

Chapter 2

"What should we do with her?"

"Who knows, maybe she's a Cyclonian?"

"Nah, she isn't wearing their outfit and doesn't look like one of them"

"We still don't know why she was lying unconscious near those-"

"Shhh, I think She's waking up"

A bright light started pulling me back to awareness. What happened?

My eyes slowly fluttered open to reveal a bright light shining from above me. Suddenly a face appeared, shielding my eyes from the light.

"Hey, are you alright?", a redhead of about my age asked, peering down at me.

"Uh..." , am I alright? Should I talk to strangers? Omg, Ness, I don't think the normal rules mom always tells you count when you just fell through a giant hole.

"Yeah, I think I am", I suddenly remembered something, the hole. Ruin. Light. Atmos. Falling. Huh?

The redhead observed me weirdly throughout my realizations.

"...I'm not dead?...I'm NOT dead!!", I exclaimed happily.

He chuckled "Obviously you're not."

"Maybe we should check her out?", a blue haired girl asked, probably doubting my sanity.

I took in my surroundings, I was lying on the ground with the redhead crouching down right next to me. A few feet behind him was the blue haired girl with bright orange eyes. Next to her was a blond guy that looked as if he was checking me out and and at my left near a bunch of motorcycles was a... "Oh my gosh.."

There was a rhino type, man , guy...thing standing right over there. He smiled kindly at me and waved. I knew I should have waved back or should have said something polite, but I just stared. What the hell?

"We should start moving, this place is infested with cyclonians, if she isn't hurt we can make a quick escape now. ", I was snapped out of my daze. The blue haired girl spoke strategically, almost as if she was in charge. But I saw her attention was directed to the redhead. So I was guessing he was the leader. He was gazing at me, as if contemplating if I could take this 'quick escape'.

...Wait a second, did she just say 'cyclonians'? I looked further around, a few trees and bushes surrounding us, keeping us covered. Then the motorcycles, they weren't normal vehicles, there were mechanical things folded to the flanks. Then I noticed a sign on the side of the motorcycle, the same one was embroidered on the outfits- no, armors of the people here. A hawk. In the book was something written about people called skynights fighting, they had different types of flying motorcycles called skimmers and were in different groups called squadrons. One of those squadrons were 'the Storm Hawks'.

The book is real.

I shot up, not believing it. "Where am I?!"

I had gotten up too fast and my head was starting to spin, the leader quickly sat me down again.

"Whoa there, slow down. You're on terra Xoam , I'm Aerrow, leader of the Storm Hawks and these are Piper" he gestured to the blue haired girl "Finn" he gestured to the blond, who was currently holding a crossbow and leaning over the bushes "there's Junko" He gestured to rhino-man "and..Radarr is here somewhere.."

Suddenly a ball of grey fur jumped on my lap.

"Aaaah!!!", I exclaimed.

"Aaaah!!!", the creature, I'm guessing Radarr, shrieked.

"Aaaah!!" - Me

"Aaaah!!" - Radarr

"WAAAH" - Junko

"Will you all shut up, the talons will h-" Piper started to scold us.

"-Did you hear that?"

"I think it came from those bushes."

"Maybe it's those damned Storm Hawks"

"Let's check it out"

"Guys, they're heading this way", Finn quietly informed us.

Everyone was silent and almost simultaneously turned towards Aerrow, he sighed.

"Okay guys, we'll have to cut this mission short. Get to your skimmers and head straight for the Condor. Prepare for air-combat."

I looked up at Aerrow with fearful eyes. "Have you ever flew on a skimmer before?", he asked me quietly. I gave a quick shake of my head.

"Don't worry, everything will be fine. What's your name?", he asked, helping me up.

"Vanessa.", I answered, fearful for what was going to happen.

"Well Vanessa hold on tight and don't move. Do you have air sickness or are you afraid of heights?", he asked me, meanwhile taking a seat on his skimmer while the rest of the team did the same.

"No.", I climbed onto the back of his skimmer, locking my arms around his waist and trying to find a way to do so without getting too..close.

He smiled back at me "Hold on tight and try to enjoy the ride, I wont let anything happen to you. We'll sort things out at the Condor."

I gave him a firm nod showing that I was fine and then decided to add a small smile to appreciate him helping me.

Aerrow accelerated and we sped forward through the bushes, I immediately held on tighter, forgetting my shyness around people I didn't know yet.

Looking around me I saw Finn and Junko riding similar bikes and Piper driving a slightly different one.

Down to my right Radarr was sitting in a second cock-pit with goggles over his eyes. He saw me looking and gave me a weird reassuring grin after concentrating back on the way in front of us. I looked up ahead too and immediately shut my eyes tight.

We were driving straight towards a cliff. I sighed, giving up worrying about what the hell was going on, I opened my eyes and just clutched on tighter to Aerrow. On his face was only a look of pure excitement. And right then we drove off the cliff, for a split second we hung in the air before wings unfolded from the sides and the wheels were pulled in.

He looked back with a playful glint in his eyes "You still alive back there?"

"Barely", I groaned, pushing my bangs out of my face, trying to take it all in.

He laughed but stopped immediately when he heard a voice of what seemed like Finn on the radio.

"Aerrow, incoming, a group of talons at 8 o' clock."

"The Condor isn't that far anymore, we can maneuver them off."

"Maneuver?" , I raised an eyebrow, somehow I didn't like the sound of that.

"Hold on", he just answered.

~*~*~*~

It thoroughly surprised me that I didn't puke. It was probably because my stomach was mostly empty,but still.

As soon as the wheels touched the ground and the skimmer skidded to a halt I threw myself off of the thing and almost literally hugged the floor, I was contemplating on kissing it, but who knows what germs are on there.

I just got a weird look from everyone.

Aerrow got some things from underneath the seat of his skimmer and handed them to me.

"Here, this was lying next to you when we found you"

He gave me the book I found in the ruins, two weird metal things that looked like the handles of blades, two small crystals and a small pouch.

"Don't worry, we didn't open our read anything.", he said.

"Thank you", I smiled, grateful for his respect.

I was studying the items and wondering what they were and from where they came.

Just when I was deep in thought and had noticed the change of my outfit and appearance Junko asked 'So what were you doing on terra Xoam, from where are you?"

I gulped.

AN : There isn't any Stork in this chapter yet, nor any real interaction between Vanessa and any other characters. I'm getting there. I wasn't really sure how to type all my ideas down this time. I erased much and started over a few times and I'm not really happy with how it turned out. Good news is ; I already know how the main plot line is gonna be. I just have to work it out a bit =) Thanks for reading and please review

Ow yeah, next chapter MAY be Aerrow POV, if you like the idea please tell me
