Storm Hawks: Never The Same!
Chapter IV
Finding You!
Aerrow finally reached the bottom of the trench. He saw some familiar footsteps and followed then, only to fall into a rushing river. He kept swimming as hard as he could but each attempt failed and got him more and more exausted. He then heard a noise that sounded like a huge amount of water falling down. He looked back and saw a waterfall. Aerrow swam faster to grab on a rock that was in the rushing river. He did it. Aerrow pulled himself out of the water and hopped onto rocks until he reached the dry land. Out of breath and all wet, Aerrow went in the sunny spot to dry. He then noticed that the transmitter was sending little shock onto him. He took it off and saw that it was soaked and it wasn't working anymore.
"Damn! How am I suppose to tell Jen where i am, now!", Aerrow shouted out of rage.
After a coupled of minutes, Aerrow continued his journey. He took the long way to get to the bottom of the waterfall. Whe he got there, he thought he saw Piper and ran towards her yelling her name.
"Piper, It's m-"
He soon realized that it was only an illusion. Aerrow admited to himself that he missed Piper terribly, and that he was extremely worried about her. The one thing he couldn't admit to himself was that he was in love with her. He care about her but only as a friend. They had a lot in common, they would take long alone walks around the Condor together. Why couldn't he tell himself or even better tell Piper. Right now he knew that he had to find her. He drank some water from the waterfall and gathered some in a bottle. Aerrow walked in the jungle towards the mountain.
Piper was badly bleeding. Her Heliscooter cut her right through the left shoulder. She didn't know why she left the Condor. She just felt that she was only going to affect the team. She remembers that Aerrow, the commanding officer that she had fallen for, watching over her most of the night. She would've never forgave herself if something would happen to Aerrow or any of her friends. She needed to get away. That's when she eard a familiar voice echoing from the waterfall, which was very far away. It was Aerrow's voice. She was now running and wondering why was he after her. I can't be found by you, Aerrow. I know i'm only going to slow you guys down, because of what happened in Terra Darkness Forest. Goodbye my friends, and goodbye...Aerrow. Piper continued running at full speed. After 10 minutes she stopped and saw a cave and she couldn't move. Her fear was haunting her. She continued running and her imagination was now playing tricks on her. She could see Mike running after her. Piper then tripped over a small rock and without noticing there was a bumpy hill ahead of her. rolling down the hill very quickly, Piper heard someting crack. when she finally stopped rolling, she had realized that her ankle had broken. She got up and continued walking as fast as she could. She looked up and saw that dark clouds were forming around the mountain and that a huge storm was coming. Piper didn't know what to do, it was too late the storm had started and it was a big one. A coupled of time she almost got hit by Lightning, the wind blew so hard that she would fall and make her ankle worse. Finally she was pushed by the into a cliff. she hit her head and was knocked out. Piper's head was bleeding.
Aerrow tried flying with his glider but had to walk because of the storm. He fought against the wind and wouldn't give up. I'm going to find you Piper! My first priotity is finding you! No matter what!, Aerrow vowed to himself. Finally Aerrow found some of her tracks.
"Those are Pipers! It looks like she was running away from...someone. I've gotta find her!"
Aerrow ran full speed, while following her footprints. He ran down a hill and almost tripped. That's her footprints disappeared. Aerrow was despressed. He was soaken wet, the transmitter Jen gave him was useless, His radio to contact them was also useless and soaked, and worse of all he still couldn't find Piper.
"PIPER! WHERE ARE YOU!", Aerrow shouted on the top of his lungs.
Meanwhile on the Condor. Jen went to the Radar to check where Aerrow was. Stork and Junko were preparing every available weapon for the upcoming battle, the same was going on the Lightning Falcons ship, except Finn wouldn't stop complaining.
"Stork get in here!", Jen sounded affraid.
"What is it?", Junko and Stork said at the same time.
"We have two problems. One, We've lost Aerrow's transmitter. Two, I've been trying to contact him for the past 10 minutes and it sounds like his radio is dead"
"What does it mean?", Asked a worried Junko.
"It means that Aerrow and Piper will have to wait until the battle is over. And that's if we Win the battle and don't get captured", Answered Jen.
"We're all doomed"
Jen used her radio to contact her ship.
"This is Carter, What's up captain"
"Carter we have a problem. We've lost both communications and transmitter on Aerrow. They'll have to wait until the battle is over"
"You mean if we win the battle"
Stork grabbs the radio from Jen's hand.
"We're all doomed"
"Anyway..." Carter said in confusion.
"Listen if there's any sign that we're losing i want you guys and the Condor to leave me and i'll handle the Cyclonians"
"That's sui-"
"No, That's an order Carter! And if any of you come back i will shoot you down! If we start losing i want you guys to turn around try and find Aerrow and Piper and repair what you can andif i don't comeback, don't look for me. Sky Knight Jen out!"
