Aerrow and Fin followed Bam and her companions through the woods covered mountains, each of them wondering who these two men were. As they two young men struggled over the rough terrain they began discussing why the two men on either side of Bam looked familiar.
"I swear I've seen them somewhere before."
"Maybe a rock band?"
"No...I think they have something to do with the Sky Knights."
"But...there's no Sky Knights on this side, right?"
"Yeah, but still...there's something about them."
They were way into the mountains now, the town barely viable in the valley below them. Aerrow almost placed where we had seen the two men before when he felt the point of a spear against his back.
"Well well, looks like Bams little stunt attracted attention to us. Hands up." Aerrow looked at Finn, who already had his hands in the air and slowly put his hands up. "Turn around."
The two slowly turned only to come face to face with a half Merb half human who took in Aerrow in stunned silence. Aerrow took the lack of orders to ask a few questions.
"What do you want? And who are you?"
The Merb/human lowered his spear and took a step closer to Aerrow and reached out a hand as if to touch Aerrows face.
"...You look just like him..."
"Eh...what?"
"You're name is Aerrow. Right?"
"Yeah? How'd you know that?"
"You've gotta come with me. He'll be so happy to see you."
"Hang on a second! Who are you!"
Finn finally burst out and the Merb/human turned to look at him and Stork.
"I am Gasfauld, and you are?"
Aerrow stepped between Finn and Gasfauld, preventing Finn from saying something stupid.
"He's Finn. Now who do you want me to see?"
"He shouldn't be seeing anyone." Bam Riles and Mela had come back and both the men had their weapons trained on the young Storm Hawks. "Come on Gasfauld! They were staying with the Mayor, how can you even sanctify that?"
Riles and Mela slowly let their weapons drop as they took in Aerrow, their faces showing the same surprise as Gasfauld.
"Bam wait...don't you know who that is?"
"Some idiot I tried to steal from and now is looking for revenge with his fly-boy friend?"
Riles turned to look at Bam.
"Girly I thought you didn't do anything this time?"
Bam shrugged.
"I didn't, my thieving actions had nothing to do with why I was arrested."
"Yeah right! You almost killed Piper!"
Finn reached for his cross bow only to have Mela raise his bow in response.
"Try it. Let's find out who's the better shot."
Bam put a hand on Mela and Riles arms, effectively keeping Mela from shooting Finn and keeping Riles from jumping down her throat again.
"Okay first off if I wanted to kill the girl, she'd be dead. I just needed the leverage to get you idiots to do as I wanted. And secondly Riles I got arrested because they thought I left town, not because I did leave the town and broke in to their ship." Bam quickly turned and walked back to her bike, pushing it up the curved ground. "See you boys at the mine!"
"Well at least we know how she got away so fast now..."
Finn muttered.
"Listen guys, we just want her to explain why she threatened Piper and what she wants the Forever Crystal for?"
"The Forever Crystal?"
"Don't tell me she's after that thing again!"
"She almost died last time! You'd figure she'd have learned her lesson by now."
"Uh...so you guys know about it?"
"Know about it! We're the one's who told her about it!...Well Gasfauld did, he's our crystal expert after all."
Riles explained while Mela looked down the mountain.
"Explain later Riles. Looks like the guards are still searching and if they find us..."
"They'll find Bam."
Gasfauld quickly put his spear on his back and began moving up the mountain.
"Quickly you two, we need to hide until we can figure this all out."
