Hey guys, sorry if these chapters are much longer and more messy, I am keeping to the shows original lines, analysing the episodes thoroughly and really trying to add further feeling to Dark Ace and Cyclonis parts. Adding a little more Ravess and Snipe too! Team Cyclonia after all!

I will not fail her. Dark ace thought to himself.

Dark Ace led a Cyclonian Destroyer and a fleet of talons towards Terra Atmosia. He wasn't going in alone, Ravess and Snipe were at his front line to give him any needed support.

Dark Ace knew what he was looking at, he remembered it all too well, the Condor, a ship that he once called home.

The rumours were true, the Storm Hawks had returned and this deeply angered Dark Ace to his very core.

Snipe and Ravess had also spotted the large ship. Snipe readied his energy mace. Ravess had her talon violinist accompany her into battle.

Ravess was a woman who adored her music, she had been playing her music longer than she had been a talon. She was a perfectionist, she saw the music as beauty, she saw victory as beauty.

Dark Ace signalled the fleet to in to attack.

The Condor moved in first, Dark Ace watched as the Cyclonian Destroyer and the condor blasted away at each other, sparks of light hurling into each ship.

Dark Ace moved his skimmer closer, approaching one of the supposed "Storm Hawks".

He jumped up onto the wings of his elite switchblade skimmer, pulling out his energy blade, drawing in closer and closer.

The red headed Storm Hawk swiped his twin energy blades first.

Dark Ace flipped off his own ride and onto the Storm Hawks skimmer.

Dark Ace noticed he was merely a boy, about the same age he was when he had taken down the previous Storm Hawks.

The boy looked like Lightning.

"You're a young one." Dark Ace spoke to the boy, standing on the wings of his skimmer.

"Since you're new at this allow me to explain the ground rules". He continued.

Anger filled Dark Ace, it was like the ghost of his past was looking back at him. Lightning's face staring at him from beyond the grave, laughing at him.

Dark Ace grabbed the boy by the neck, squeezing lightly at his throat.

The red headed boy pushed against his arm trying to become released from his grip.

"There are none! If you live, you win and just so you know, I never lose".

He pushed the red head back into his seat.

Dark Ace laughed menacingly.

Pathetic, a child. This is what Atmosia sends to defend it? Simply pathetic.

Dark Ace jumped down to his own switchblade skimmer which was hovering below the Storm Hawk boys, he flew away, knowing the boy would surely chase him.

Elsewhere in the skies, Snipe took it upon himself to hit the older looking boy, a Wallop who had just hit down one of the Talons.

Snipe was not scared, Snipe was much bigger than him.

I'm bigger, I'm better. This little pipsqueak is about to become mush.

Snipe noticed the Wallop was cowering away, flying his skimmer away, making Snipe chase him for the fight.

Ravess was hovering elsewhere in the distance, noticing a blonde boy shooting badly towards some of the Talons.

She stood upon her switchblade skimmer. She paused listening to the music she had composed being played for her by her Talon violinist.

She imitated playing along to it with her bow and arrow, a red crystal tipped at the arrowhead.

She took aim and fired at the blonde. Her shot hit and she smirked to herself as the boys skimmer began spinning out of control.

She watched as the boy had gained control as several metal objects fell from it.

Ravess growled under he breath.

The blonde aimed his weapon, hitting her violinist.

This angered Ravess only more.

How dare he stop my beautiful music.

Dark Ace flew past the falling violinist as he parachuted down, he was being tailed by the red headed boy.

Dark Ace aimed, sending red energy flying towards the boys skimmer, knocking off the passenger seat attached and his monkey-like pet he had with him fell into the clouds, opening its small parachute.

The boy pulled his skimmer up towards Dark Aces switchblade skimmer and began hitting at Dark Ace.

There was a flurry of energy in the air, red and blue sparks flying in all distances as their weapons collided.

Dark Ace hit at the boy as hard as he could, anger filled his body as he stared into the boys face.

Dark Ace heard Snipe close buy on his hele-blade skimmer.

Snipe was closing in on the Wallop, waiting for the perfect moment to strike, the large boy seemed to be struggling to attack.

Snipe heard the Wallop yell and suddenly a flurry of bird-shaped missiles flew his way.

Snipe was too slow, he dived out of his vehicle and opened up his parachute as the missiles impacted his ride.

This angered him so much, a kid had hit him down, he was the first down of the elite trio, even his older sister was still up in the sky fighting.

WHAM.

Before Snipe had chance to reconfigure himself, his parachute was clipped onto by a Talon who had dragged him into another Talons skimmer.

SO MUCH PAIN. Snipe thought to himself.

Ravess circled back towards the blonde, now facing him head on, aiming her bow towards him.

"I've got you in my sights now". She squinted, perfecting her shot, making sure it was precise.

Their vehicles drawing closer and closer to each other.

The boy fired first, just as Ravess had hoped. Ravess released her arrow and watched as it soared towards the boys blue bird-shaped arrow.

YES! Ravess grinned.

Her red-tipped arrow pierced straight through the boys blue arrow, he tried to dodge the shot but Ravess' arrow was far too quick and it ripped through his skimmer, slicing it cleanly in half.

Ravess smirked as the boys skimmer and him fell fast towards the clouds below.

Dark Ace circled passed Ravess.

Dark Ace hurling hits towards the read headed boy continuously, he could hear the Destroyer pounding shots back and forth at the Condor.

He could hear Ravess nearby too.

Dark Ace pulled away, riding his switchblade skimmer quickly into the open sky.

New plan, take this brat head on!

Dark Ace soared towards the red head, jumping onto the nose of his skimmer, readying his blade.

The boy imitated his move.

Unoriginal child.

"So you call yourself a Sky Knight? Well where's your fancy move?"

Dark Ace mocked the boy.

No way this child is a Sky Knight, he is pathetic!

"It's right here". The boy replied.

Dark Ace watched as the boys body became surrounded in blue and he jumped in the air.

Dark Aces thoughts came back to Lightning.

That was his move, this boy is a Storm Hawk after all...

The boy hurled his Sky Knight move, Lightning Claw towards Dark Ace

One thing this child didn't count on, I watched that move unfold many times.

Dark Ace dodged the blast of energy, jumping onto the back of the red heads skimmer, he was stood behind the boy as he had landed.

"Good form". Dark Ace spoke.

Dark Ace was almost impressed, the boy definitely had mastered his power, but not enough to pose a threat to him.

Dark Ace hurled his blade at the boy, the boy lifting his own blades in defence.

"But you need to work on the landing!" Dark Ace continued.

He kicked the boy hard into the chest, forcing him off of his skimmer.

The boy fell towards the Terra below, but just as Dark Ace thought he was done for, the boy opened up a glider, much like his own.

God damn it, give up you irritating brat!

Rage filled Dark Ace, he jumped into the air a red energy surrounded his body.

Have my 'fancy' move you cretin!

CLINK!

Dark Ace had hit him, he watched as the boy spun out of control, crashing onto the Terra below.

Dark Ace landed his skimmer, walking up towards the boy, the red energy of his sword held up to the boys face.

Dark Ace heard skimmers above, three Talons were heading towards the tower.

"This is the part where I claim victory". Dark Ace smirked.

Dark Ace remembered this feeling of glory as though it was yesterday, taking down Lightning. He could do it again, oh so easily if he wished.

I could so easily kill him, slit his throat right here and now and watch him bleed out. Bitter-sweet nostalgia... But the boy is young... Lightning was a man... It would be weak of me to attack a pathetic child.

Dark Ace felt the wind in the air grow stronger, the Aurora stone had been removed.

"But since you're young" he stopped the crystal energy flowing through his sword and stroked the blade. The feeling of pride and accomplishment flowing through his body.

"I'll allow you a lifetime to savour your defeat" Dark Ace continued, smirking at the boy beneath his feet.

The trio of Talons rode up towards Dark Ace.

Dark Ace smiled at them, taking the Aurora stone which was presented before him.

Master Cyclonis will be so pleased...

He showed his trophy to the red headed boy, the blue stone shining within the palm of his hand.

"Your own sworn protector turns on you, and Atmos sends children instead of Sky knights?! How pathetic".

Dark Ace placed the Aurora stone into a pouch attached on the side of his belt.

He walked back towards his switchblade skimmer, he was victorious. Dark Ace sat on his ride.

"The wrath of Cyclonia is your future now!" He exclaimed.

Dark Ace revved his engine, smirking at the defeated boy on the ground before flying off into the storm clouds, the Talon trio following closely behind him.

Dark Ace was triumphant, he had been able to bring his beloved Master what she wanted, what she needed.

He flew back towards Cyclonia, stood upon the nose of his skimmer triumphantly.

Some of the Talons cheered to him as he landed in the hangar, Aurora stone now held proudly in his hand.

Cyclonia would be great once more.
