First I'd like to thank a few people
Thank you to: nightmaster000, medowgirl12345, and Syryill for giving me a story idea!
Thank you to: Who ever voted in the poll!
A/N: Okey dokey! The results are in and the plot has been set! Now let's all cross our fingers and hope I don't epically fail this story like I did with my stupid Yu-gi-oh one xc...I deleted it. (Insert evil laugh)
I do not own Storm Hawks
"We didn't find anything. There aren't even any missing person reports." The man explained looking through some papers in front of him.
"I thought so..." Annabell thought to herself in a sigh of relief.
"I'm sorry to be of no help but I have other things to attend to so please be on your way." said the man waving them off as he left to a back room assumed to be his office.
"Translation; Get out I have better things to do." said Annabell. Radarr nodded in agreement
"Well at least that means you don't have a double life in Atmos." said Junko.
"True. I was thinking about that. Good thing I don't." said Annabell as the group left the building. But then it occurred to her again that she hoped she didn't have another life and this, being her dream world, responded to that. Why did she worry so much?
"But I can't help but wonder." said Piper taking out the green crystal. "Why do the Cyclonians want this crystal? And how did you get it if you're not from here?"
Annabell replied with a shrug. "Heck I'm still wondering how I got here in the first place."
"Well whatever happened, the Cyclonians are definitely up to something and we have to find out what." Aerrow said firmly.
"Oh great he's going all hero mode again." complained Finn rolling his eyes.
"What about Annabell?" asked Junko.
"We should take her with us. She's got nowhere else to go." suggested Piper
"Yes, we'll take her with. It probably wouldn't be a good idea to leave her here alone. After all, from the last encounter with the Dark Ace he wanted more then the crystal" agreed Aerrow.
So the Storm Hawks plus Annabell boarded the Condor and left Atmosia and filled Stork in on the situation.
"Great now we can all die from new inter-dimensional diseases!" Stork exclaimed in a sarcastic tone. Everyone rolled their eyes in response.
"Here. I think this belongs to you." said Piper sitting down next to Annabell while handing the crystal back.
"I'm not sure if it does." said Annabell and examined the olive green crystal in her hand.
"I didn't find much on it. It wasn't in my books or notes." said Piper.
"But if Cyclonis sent the Dark Ace out to take it then it must be valuable." said Aerrow with a hand on his chin in thinking mode with Radarr perched on his shoulders
"Well maybe they're linked or he knew she had the crystal." suggested Junko.
"Who knows. But it's definitely something worth looking into." said Aerrow.
The small conversation went quiet and Finn went in to make some small talk "So, your names Annabell?"
"Yeah I believe I already explained that." replied Annabell. "Why?"
"Well it's such a mouth full. We should give you a nickname!" suggested Finn.
"Yeah! That's a good idea." agreed Junko clapping his hands.
"Well, back home they called me Annie but I don't really like it" said Annabell.
"How about Anna. It just takes off an extra syllable." said Piper.
"I agree." Annabell nodded in agreement.
"It works. Just two syllable and easy to remember." said Finn.
"Well guys we got a recon mission to do tomorrow. So let's rest up." announced Aerrow coming back to the group.
"Sleep is the last thing on my mind. Why is everything so complicated now?" Anna complained in her head.
"We have one unoccupied room for you to stay in." said Piper to bring Anna out of her thoughts. And the the two left the hanger as Piper led her to the empty room
"Thanks Piper. I hope I won't be too much of a bother to you guys." said Anna. "Especially with your mission tomorrow."
"Nah it's ok. We'll just be out patrolling the area. But I'm sure you could help Stork by watching the Condor." suggested Piper.
"I guess. We'll I'm gonna try and sleep. See you in the morning." said Anna.
The two exchanged their good nights and Anna crawled into the bed on the opposite side of the room.
"...I wonder if Dad knows I'm gone? Or...if time even moved back home. Heh, I've seen way to many sci-fi movies." Thought Anna before falling asleep.
Anna woke up sooner or later. But she was still on the Condor.
"I guess this really is happening..." Anna mumbled to herself. Then she shook her head. "No...this is all a dream, a really good one.
After messing with her hair she got up and walked onto the bridge where everyone (Except Finn and Junko) was making plans for today's mission.
"Good morning." said Anna walking up.
"Sleep well?" asked Aerrow.
"Pretty comfortable. I've never slept in a...ship before." Anna replied.
Finn and Junko entered the room then and they were all filled in on the plan.
They landed in a secluded part of an low inhabitant Terra and everyone besides Stork and Anna left to do their part of the mission.
"So you want me to be look out?" asked Anna.
"Yes just look through this and make sure no one finds us." Stork explained pulling down the scope.
Anna nodded and looked through. Nothing but sky and clouds. It was like that for awhile till the communicator came on.
"How's the mission going?" Stork asked.
"Good. There's nothing here except a trashed cyclonian skyride. We're heading back now." Aerrow replied and the communication cut off.
"Why did they need to do recon here?" Anna asked Stork, taking her attention away from the scope.
"Oh you know. Suspicious cyclonian activity. Same as always." He replied in a bored voice.
"I see..." said Anna and she looked through the scope again but this time it wasn't clear skies. It seemed to be many, many red dots every where.
"Uh...Stork...we got company." said Anna pulling away from the scope again.
"What?" exclaimed Stork taking the scope and looked through it. After that he turned to the communicator and tried to contact Aerrow and the others but they must have been in a dead zone because all that came back was static.
The ship started swaying and Anna almost fell but she held on to the scope and looked through it once more.
"Cyclonians...They're like a Mosquitoes and don't know when to quite..." Anna muttered to herself. "I guess we're in a bad situation."
"Bad situation?...no...we're doomed." said Stork in his trade mark "We're doomed" voice.
A blast of energy hit the top of the ship creating a giant hole in the roof of the condor and a bunch of Cyclonians dropped in with their staffs pointed at Stork and Anna.
"Yup...definitely doomed." he conformed.
Stork and Anna slowly backed up as the cyclonians approached them till they where backed against the window. That's when things just got worse. The Dark Ace entered the scene.
"We're screwed now." thought Anna.
"So you thought you would be able to get away did you?" The Dark Ace said taking a few steps towards them making them want the take a few steps back if it weren't for the window.
Stork and Anna stayed quiet. When you're at a disadvantage you really don't want to piss off the guy that could kill you.
"Why don't you just come along quietly and we won't have to do this the hard way." as He continued walking towards them pulling out his blade with the red crystal energy blazing through it.
"Sorry Dark Ace, but we like doing things the hard way." said Aerrow as he and the rest of the Storm Hawks entered the scene.
The Dark Ace and the talons turned to face the other Storm Hawks and Stork along with Anna took this distraction to sneak away...but Dark Ace, with his 6th sense, blocked their escape path with his blade.
"Take care of them. I'll get the girl." said Dark Ace and his group of talons raised their weapons and started inching towards the Storm Hawks.
Stork and Anna were backed up against the giant window with a blazing red blade near their necks. Stork was shaking in fear. But not Anna. She was frozen on the spot. Still processing what was going to happen and what she should do.
Without thinking, Anna slowly tried to slide away from the blade. She didn't get far though, the Dark Ace had turned around and grabbed her by neck and lifted her above the ground an inch or so practically choking her. Anna's reflexes kicked in and she grabbed his hands to keep her from chocking.
"Let..go.." Anna chocked out kicking the air.
He laughed a bit. She always hate that little laugh of his it made her want to kick something in irritation. He moved his blade away from Storks neck and the relived Stork fainted.
Anna tried to peek over at Aerrow and the others but they were buried in Talons and she was losing air in her lungs quickly.
"What's the matter Reneissa? Did you really think running away would solve all you problems?" He whispered in her ear.
She was froze right there in shock. If she wasn't fighting for air, she'd would have raised an eyebrow at him. "Reneissa? What the?...who the heck is Reneissa! He must have the wrong person..." She thought. Now trying even harder to get free. Most of her kicks were aimed at the Dark Ace and it didn't work out so well.
"Well just take our leave." He said smoothly and he got on his skimmer along with Anna in his grasp. She thought she heard someone shout her name, or at least what she thought was her name, when the skimmer took off but everything was starting to go black from lack of air and she was swallowed in darkness.
A/N: And I'll leave it there. Heh, What an unoriginal ending. I'm just good at disappointing. And especially the name I came up with...Man I suck at coming up with girl names! But anyway I again, got rid of the POV change. I don't want to confuse people and personally I usually like to read things in one POV, but sometimes there are good ones. Till the next chapter!
