"Fine, let's get this over with" Aerrow mumbled. The Dark Ace chuckled under his breath and he pulled a switch on a control panel on the wall beside him. Aerrow looked around cautiously in case that was a test but it wasn't. Instead another side of the wall on the other side of the sky knight opened up and there, standing on a stool each, was his team mates with a red spotlight over each of them.
Aerrow's eyes widened at the sight of his team. "Guys!" he called to them and reaching out to them even though they were behind the glass with no way of breaking through. "Aerrow!" Piper called desperately. They all looked very tired and strained. It looked like they have stood on those stools for a long time, Aerrow thought. Their hands were tied together tightly and Aerrow could make out the rope burns around their wrists much to his disgust. Cyclonis have no right to do that to his team!
The Dark Ace's cold voice interrupted his thoughts and Aerrow turned his attention to Cyclonis, his glare cold and unforgiving. Cyclonis smiled and cleared her throat, "Now then, let's start your first test" she started but Finn interrupted rudely. "Tests? That's all he has to do? Man, Cyclonis you're going down!" Finn declared and the others agreed with cheeky smiles. Cyclonis didn't seem bothered but she gave them an evil glare. "I didn't say that they were…easy tests" she smirked and that brought dismayed looks to the teams faces. "Are we going to do the tests or not?" Aerrow snapped at Cyclonis who then nodded at the Dark Ace.
The Dark Ace smiled back and pressed a button on the wall. A clinking noise was heard and a shiny object shot across the floor and stopped at Aerrow's feet. Aerrow looked down at in awe and when he picked it up he could clearly see what it was and it almost made his heart stop. It was a sharp dagger that glinted with danger in the dim light. Aerrow glanced at it; a feeling of dread churning in his stomach.
The others saw the dagger and they gasped in horror. This time Cyclonis had gone too far! Finn managed to hold his tongue in case Cyclonis cancelled the proposal. "The first test will be for your pet" Cyclonis declared pointing to Radarr who growled at being called a pet. Aerrow turned to his furry co-pilot with a stiff glance and then looked at the Dark Ace, "What do I have to do?" he asked. The Dark Ace chuckled again and said "Slice the blade deep across both of your arms close to your shoulders and the critter lives."
