Okay, I don't own Storm Hawks

Review and enjoy my loyal fans who like this story. Your apprecation and comments are very important to me so keep them coming.

Walking behind Serenity as the infant clumsily waddled to the Condor's cockpit, Piper saw Stork with a pair of corks in his ears. "Stork! What is the matter?! She's not making any noise!" informed Piper.

"What?! I can't hear you?!" the green Merb shouted back.

Shaking her head in disapproval, Finn stared at Serenity who stared boldly back. "So, you think that you can steal the attention from me because you're a baby? Well, let's see you can't beat me!" Finn proclaimed and Serenity gave a small shrug.

Falling onto the floor, her eyes filled with tears and Piper picked her up. "Finn!" screamed Piper. "She could've gotten hurt! The poor little baby! Thanks to you, she would've been hurt!"

Seeing Serenity give a little smirk, Finn protested, "Hey! She cheated! She did that on purpose!"

Ignoring him, Piper whispered to Serenity, "Isn't he such a goof?"

Laughing as an agreement, Stork turned to face them and scoffed. Suddenly, the blue and red sirens began to flash and Stork pulled out his improvise earplugs. Grabbing the periscope, he announced, "We are all about to meet our painful doom due to the bunch of Cyclonians we having tailgating us."

Piper instructed, "Okay, you guys get to your battle stations and I'll get Aerrow. He'll know what to do!"

Rushing out of the cockpit, Piper began to search for Aerrow. Colliding into him, Aerrow asked, "Piper. What is it?"

"Cyclonians! We've got a whole bunch behind us!" answered Piper.

"Where's Dark Ace? Is he out there?"

"I dunno!"

Remembering his promise, Aerrow replied, "Here. Give Serenity to me. I'll hide her away. That way none of the Cyclonians can get her."

"Why would the Cyclonians-" started Piper as she placed Serenity in Aerrow's arms.

Seeing his determined face, Piper blew out a deep breath and rushed to the hatchet. Looking around the room, he found a small cupboard and opened it. Gently pushing Serenity inside, Aerrow apologized, "Sorry Serenity. This is the only place you'll be safe." Serenity's lip trembled and Aerrow gave her the light pink blanket. "I'm sorry Serenity. It's the only way I can keep you safe...and I made a promise and I always keep my promises."

Quietly, he closed the cupboard door, leaving it slightly open for her to see what was going on and quickly raced to the hatch. Swinging onto his ride, he saw Radarr perched in his cockpit and he revved the engine. As the hatchet slowly opened, the Storm Hawks drove out of the Condor and their rides transformed into their flying modes. Separating from the rest of the squadron, Radarr and Aerrow soared through the clouds into the skies. Seeing a pair of Cyclonians closing in behind him, Junko slammed his fists together and the green energy appeared around his hands. Skidding his skimmer to a stop, he stretched out his arms and the two Cyclonians collided into his arms, causing them to fall and deploy their parachutes. On her heliscooter, Piper dodged a red energy beam shot from behind her. Looking in front of her, she saw another Cyclonian Talon come zooming towards her. Smiling, she flew higher in the air as both of the Cyclonian Talons shot and instead, the other shot hit the other Talon. Hearing the familiar noise of a stringed instrument, Piper flew down to Finn. Tossing a bright silver crystal to him, she yelled, "Finn! It's a Bullet Crystal! Shoot it!"

Zooming away, Finn gave a puzzled look and shrugged as he placed the crystal in his crossbow and as Ravess pointed one of her red arrows at him. Both of them shot at each other and Finn's shot broke through her powerful arrow. Shocked as she saw the beam hit her ride, she sighed as her ride broke apart from underneath her. "Chica cha!" exclaimed Finn as he made his hands into a pair of pistols and flew away.

Pointing his weapon at the other Cyclonian Talons near him, he smiled as they met the same fate as Ravess had. Seeing Snipe sneaking up on Junko, Piper picked up a bright yellow crystal and tossed it at Snipe. As the crystal hit the ride, it powered down and exploded, causing Snipe to fly out and deploy his parachute. Still high among the clouds, Aerrow frowned. "Hey. Where's Dark Ace?" he wondered out loud.

Hiding alongside the edge of the Condor, Dark Ace saw the Storm Hawks soar out of the hatchet. Slowly, it began to close and he somersaulted in at the last minute. Hearing the sound of no alarms being set off, the Dark Ace smiled as he leaned against the wall. He had plenty of time to search with no interference. Sneaking through the hallways, Dark Ace saw a room where a cupboard was slightly open. Entering the room, he pulled back the door, revealing his young daughter. She was still a baby, but he could see the power in her eyes that were exactly the same as his. "There you are. Let's get back to Cyclonia and you can meet Master Cyclonis. After all, she's the one that told me that I'm your father." The Dark Ace told her as he picked her up.

Serenity's lip trembled continuously as Dark Ace broke down a window and leapt through it. Jumping onto his ride, he pulled out a smoky gray crystal and smiled. Putting it back in the pouch on his leg and holding his daughter tightly and securely in his arm, he flew into the sky. Serenity let out a high-pitched cry and Dark Ace clenched his teeth as the Storm Hawks squadron surrounded him. Grabbing a dark purple crystal from the pouch on his leg, he tossed it at Junko's ride and it exploded. Dodging attacks from Finn's bullet crystal, Dark Ace flipped around and dug through the pouch. Grabbing a silvery black crystal, he tossed it at Finn and Piper shrieked, "Finn! Move out of the way! It's a Tracing Stone!"

"Wha?" Finn started as the stone soared towards him and he started racing away from it.

It tapped the tip of his crossbow and his ride broke apart, causing Finn to deploy his parachute as he began to fall. "You know. I'll admit it. You are pretty good with crystals. See if you can stop this one!" Dark Ace commented to Piper and tossed a bright orange crystal at her.

Trying to move out of the way, the crystal hit her and the gauges on her heliscooter began to go haywire. Laughing, Dark Ace looked in front of him to see Aerrow diving towards him. Pulling up, he continued to laugh as Aerrow faced him. "I thought the Storm Hawks were supposed to be the goody two shoes of the Atmos. Yet, they're the ones committing the crime in this case." He remarked and dodged an attack from Aerrow.

"What do you mean?! You're the one who's kidnapping!" Aerrow shouted back and dodged an attack from Dark Ace.

"I'm not kidnapping. I'm taking my daughter."

"How'd-"

"Aerrow. Why would I waste my valuable time fighting you if I didn't have anything coming out of it?"

"But-"

"But what? Go back to playing your little games. You're still a bunch of kids."

"See, that's where you're wrong." Aerrow fumed and performed his Sky Knight move, the Lightning Claw.

Moving out of it's way, Dark Ace shook his head and finished, "I'd still love to hang around Aerrow, but I've got more pressing matters than you." He took out the smoky gray crystal and tossed it at Aerrow. "Have fun with that one."

Flying away, Aerrow skidded to a stop as the crystal exploded and the air became filled with dark gray smoke. Coughing, he clenched his teeth in frustration and flew back to the Condor.

Uh oh. The Dark Ace has Serenity with him

I wonder what's going to happen on the Condor now...

Lots of reviews for me please and thank you!
