Chapter 6: Origins
Thank you to my top (and only) reviewers StormRocker and 37 as always!
So this is now our 14 year old Cyclonis, starting her empire, the one we all know from the show. Now this is loosely based on the "Origins" episode, will include some lines and pieces from the show as reference. (I don't know the show off by heart so I apologise if some of the lines aren't perfect).
Now I have been very, very fortunate in my time to have befriended the wonderful Lenore Zann (Cyclonis herself) who has given me some fantastic insight into her opinion of Cyclonis, which I am very much hoping to include in these and upcoming chapters (and maybe even other fics)
I do not own the Storm Hawks or the characters!

Dark Ace was returning to Cyclonia from a mission.
His thoughts were on his Master.
She had changed so much from the young girl who wanted to play games with him. She no longer had her fun spark, she was almost always very serious, threatening and he had noticed she was extremely paranoid over most things these days.
Her trust in Dark Ace had never died out, she entrusted all of her most important tasks to him, she relied heavily on his success and he did his utmost best never to disappoint her. He had seen what she was like when faced with failure, her temper got out of control at times, harshly punishing any Cyclonian who failed her.
Although, she almost never punished Dark Ace.
He glided his skimmer into the hangar and parked it up.
Dark Ace entered the throne room where he noticed talons were removing the throne from the room. He looked to his Master.
"Grandmothers throne, so old fashioned. Times are changing Dark Ace." She smiled to him.
Times had certainly changed. The Atmos was so close to being hers, she had succeeded much where her predecessors had failed, she had captured many Terras, trusting them to her highest valued Cyclonians.
"And I remain your humble servant, Master Cyclonis". He bowed to her, returning a smile to her.
She had blossomed into a powerful young woman. More powerful than he had imagined, her battle strategies had actually been working, she had conquered Terra.
A part of Dark Ace believed this young woman before him was the innocent girl he played with when he was a teenager.
"Good." She responded, walking to her Storm Engine, her long dress trailing along with her.
"We have work to do." she says as she clicked away at the buttons on the large machine before her.
Dark Ace stood at her side. Watching as she worked the large mechanical machine. He had no idea of its power and what she intended to use it for, all he knew it was a machine of great power.
Cyclonis dressed like her grandmother in some ways.
She wore the long dress, but she refused to wear the crown of her ancestors. She was her own Master and wanted to better all who had ruled before her.
Dark Ace watched his Master as she looked up at the Storm Engine whilst working it, her face was filled with joy, a sadistic smile stretched across her face as she placed crystals into the machine.
He had very little knowledge of the use of it, or for crystals. He knew which were powerful and what he needed to look for, Cyclonis had always taught him that much, she always provided him with powerful crystals he desired to use. With her knowledge of crystals, he had not lost a battle since. He remained undefeated.
With Cyclonis at his side, with her brilliant mind and his advanced fighting skills, he was sure he would never lose again.
Dark Ace realised he was watching Cyclonis herself other than the machine.
"Dark Ace..." Cyclonis paused.
"Yes Master?" He questioned.
"You know it's rude to stare" she continued without even turning to face him.
"I... I apologise Master". He had no idea how she could tell, she had not looked to him once and he wasn't stood in her line of sight. He always thought she had some sort of telepathy, or was able to reach into the minds of others, although he had no proof.
He was sure she possessed power even he couldn't begin to imagine, he had seen some of it in the years she had been ruling the empire, but he knew in good time, he would discover truly how powerful his beloved master was.
Cyclonis was excited for the future, she had so many plans, nothing would stand in her way of total domination of Atmos.

Okay guys! So I'm a bit stuck here. I will be skipping to the "Age of Heroes" side of the story. Don't know if I should delve further into the series or stop when Age of Heroes ends? Opinions/reviews? Thanks for reading either way, hope everyone is enjoying it so far!
