Chapter 10: The Past's Revealed...

A few weeks had passed since the drama that happened on Cyclonia, and everyone, including Aurora, was one-hundred percent better. Starling had left a few days after Aurora woke up, to do more recon on her own. The storm Hawks said good-bye and thanked her for her help, and with a nod she was gone. Everything went back into its usual pattern after that. Finn and Piper were being themselves, everyday Piper tried to kill Finn when his air guitar moves knocked over her crystals. Stork being paranoid about what they would do to his ship, and Junko, being the big soft hearted Wallop that he was, would try and calm Piper down as Finn hid behind him in fear. Aerrow would just shake his head and sigh at them all, and Aurora would laugh from her spot on the couch, taking a break from practicing her powers. That had been going on for weeks and Aurora noticed that even though it was the same old thing nearly every day…She liked it being that way.

Aurora was walking down the hallway that morning when she thought she heard someone scream. She froze and listened again, but she didn't hear it again. She shrugged it off and took two steps when she heard it again. She stopped again and looked around her, trying to see if everybody else heard it. But she heard no one scrambling around or asking 'What was that?'. She took one step forward again and found herself surrounded by burning buildings and dead bodies. Now she was really confused and sickened at the sight and smell around her.

"Aurora!" came a scream behind her. Aurora whirled around to see a twelve or thirteen year old girl laying on the ground covered in blood.

"Aurora!...Help me!" the violet-eyed, black haired girl shouted, reaching toward Aurora. Aurora was frozen to the spot, and shaking slightly.

"Aurora! Please!" the girl begged, still reaching toward her. "Please!" Then a tall shadowed figure stood behind the black haired girl. The figure grabbed the girl and started dragging her away, with her struggling against him. Aurora, for some reason, felt tears streaming down her face as she reached out toward the girl, still frozen in her place.

"Aurora!" the girl screamed again.

"Aurora!" Aerrow said, shaking Aurora slightly. Aurora blinked and looked around wildly. She was standing in the hallway of the Condor, and Aerrow was beside her, his face full of worry.

"Where's the girl?" she asked, still shaking and crying. Aerrow was confused.

"What girl?" he said, frowning slightly at her. "Nobody's in the hallway except me and you." Before Aurora could say anything Piper's voice came over the speakers.

"Guys, we found an uncharted Terra!" she said, sounding excited. "We're going to go and check it out! Come on!" Aerrow looked at Aurora who had calmed down and was drying her face and trying to look like she wasn't shaken up. She sighed, then smiled up at Aerrow.

"Lets go check this out," she said walking toward the hanger. Aerrow frowned and caught up with her.

"Are you sure you're OK?" he asked looking at her. She smiled at him again and took his hand.

"I'm just fine," she answered Aerrow. "I just spaced out a little." Aerrow snorted. He knew better but he wasn't going to push the matter. Not at least till they got back from checking this new Terra out.

Aerrow, Aurora, Finn and Piper landed on the new Terra with their weapons drawn. When all they saw was some birds and little furry animals, they put their weapons away. They had landed toward the edge and started walking inward. Aurora was better now but she couldn't get that girls face out of her head. Who was she? Aurora kept thinking. I feel like I've seen her face before. They kept walking for what felt like hours when they came to an old dirt road. Everyone looked at it funny and started on the road toward maybe people. Since they had arrived they had seen no sign of human life anywhere. Then when they turned a sharp corner they came face to face with Raine. The group shouted and jumped back, but Raine just kept staring at them. Aurora was the first to recover.

"Raine, what are you doing here?" she asked walking up to the Goddess. Raine smiled her warm smile at Aurora.

"I've come to help you face your past,"she said looking at Aurora. Aurora cocked an eyebrow at her.

"What do you mean?" she asked looking back at the others, then looking at Raine.

"This is your original home Terra," Raine said looking around her. Aurora looked at her funny.

"But I thought that after my parents died," Aurora said, putting a hand on her hip. "That they said that I had to live with Piper's family. I thought I grew up on Terra Atmosia." Raine looked back at the future Wind Goddess and smiled a sad smile.

"You really don't remember this place, do you?" she asked Aurora. Aurora was getting annoyed with these questions and comments of Raine's.

"No," Aurora answered slowly. "How can I remember this place, if I've never been here before!" Raine took Aurora's hand and started pulling her along the road. When they cleared the curve that Raine was on, they all saw the remains of a burnt town. Aurora's eyes widened as she remembered what happened earlier. She looked around her and she could still the buildings in flames, but the bodies were missing.

"What happened here?" Finn asked looking around him.

"This town was one of the last towns the old Master Cyclonis destroyed," Raine said stopping them all in the middle of town.

"The old Master Cyclonis?" Aerrow asked, taking Aurora's other hand. He didn't like where this might be going. Raine nodded at them.

"Yes there was another Master Cyclonis before the one you know now," she said, looking at each of them and squeezing Aurora's hand. "The old Master Cyclonis was worse than the one now. He didn't care about anything other than killing others."

"Wait," Aurora said, looking at Raine. "You mean that the Cyclonis we know now, isn't really named Cyclonis?" Raine nodded again.

"Yes," she answered, looking around at the burnt hulls of the buildings. "When the leader of Cyclonia pass on, they choice another and the new leader takes on the name 'Master Cyclonis' and they continue the old ones work."

"So do you know the Cyclonis' real name?" Piper asked. Raine nodded grimly again.

"Yes," she said, then looked at Aurora. "And she was born and raised here on this very Terra." Everyone's eyes widened. Then Aurora slowly pulled away from Aerrow and Raine and took off running toward the edge of town. Everyone stood there for a moment then ran after her. When they finally caught up to Aurora, she was standing at the edge of a massive graveyard.

"These were the people who lived here?" Aerrow asked looking around at the graves.

"Yes," Raine answered. "But I wasn't the one who buried them all." Everyone except Aurora looked at Raine, then at the graves.

"Then who did?" Finn asked. There was a silence before a single word was spoken.

"Me," Aurora said, with tears running down her face. "I buried them all, after the Talons left and the fires died down a little." She knelt down in front of two graves that had 'Mommy' and 'Daddy' written on them and wrapped her arms around herself.

"I was about six when they came in the middle of the night," she said, as the memories started coming back. "They burned everything and spared no one. They even killed Mrs. Betty's new born baby girl. They were shouting and looking for the Wind Goddess." Everyone could fell that she was beginning to feel guilty for this. Aerrow knelt down beside her and wrapped an arm around her. She leaned on him and began to talk again.

"My Mom shouted to someone to take me out back," she continued, tears still flowing out of her eyes. "Dad was at the front door trying to keep them out but they rammed the door down and killed Dad. Mom was screaming at us to hurry and go. A girl dragged me away from the house and we ran into town. But when we got there the whole place was on fire and there were bodies everywhere. Then there was an explosion and I was knocked to the ground. I stood up and looked for the girl when…when." Then it hit Aurora. What she saw this morning was what had happened to her back then. She turned toward Raine.

"When the girl called out to me she was covered in blood," Aurora said, looking at Raine's blue eyes. "She wanted me to help her but I couldn't move. Then some Talons came and took her away and she was screaming my name over and over, but I couldn't move. Then when they were nearly out of site I started running after them but then a wind barrier blocked my way. That was you, wasn't it? You made the barrier. And who was the girl? I remember what she looked like, and I think I remember screaming 'Iva!' as she was being taken away." Everyone was quiet and looked at the two Goddess talking.

"You are right," Raine said looking at Aurora. "I was the one who put the barrier up, but I did it so the Talons would get you. And you're right about that girl's name. Her name is Lark…and she was your sister." Everyone gasped.

"I have I sister?" Aurora asked standing up. "Why didn't I remember this till now?" Raine bowed her head.

"I used magic to seal away these memories," she said quietly. "Because I didn't want you reliving this everyday, and to keep a secret away from you." Aurora looked at her.

"What secret?" she asked, as Aerrow stood up and took her hand. Raine looked up.

"Do you remember what Lark looked like?" she asked. Aurora nodded.

"Does she remind you of anyone you know?" Raine asked. Aurora frowned.

"No," she said slowly. Then the wheels in her head turned and something clicked. Her eyes widened at the realization.

"Violet eyes," she whispered, mostly to herself but everyone heard. "Black hair." Everyone eyes widened too when they realized who it was. Raine nodded again grimly.

"Lark, your sister, is Master Cyclonis herself," Raine said.

(On Cyclonia)

Cyclonis looked down at an old picture that she kept with her. In it was a man with medium brown hair and violet eyes, and he had his arm around a woman with black hair and honey eyes. She wasn't really looking at them as much as the two girls in the front. One was about thirteen with black hair and violet eyes and she had a smile on her face. The other was about six with medium brown hair and honey eyes. The younger one was holding the older ones hand and laughing and waving at the camera. The door to the room opened and Cyclonis put the picture down. The Dark Ace walked in and gave her a new crystal.

"I thought that you might enjoy that," he said stepping back. "And I thought that would be a fitting gift to you on the anniversary of you coming into power." Cyclonis snorted.

"Thank you Dark Ace," she said coldly and turning to look out the window. "You may go now." She heard the door close.

"Yes," she whispered to herself. "It's been eleven years now. And dear little sister has finally remembered what happened. Maybe she'll like that I left everything the way it was. Maybe she'll remember that everyone on that Terra died because of her. Maybe she'll even remember that because she froze and didn't help me, I've now become this!" She took the picture again and looked at the smiling girls.

"Soon little sister," she said putting the picture back down. "I'll have my revenge."
