Lypix considered the fact they had been playing cat and mouse all day, a game which would shortly come to an end.
"Aerrow, go for it!" she shouted.
"But… how?" he asked, completely surprised by this dark, menacing world's reliance on him, he being born into a completely different universe.
Lypix glanced at Ka who was still advancing and slowly but steadily gaining ground, Lypix was sure of something that would cause great harm to them was in Ka's possession. "Aerrow just put your hand in!"
"Okay, here goes" he lunged his hand inside the bush, expecting some cruel fate to befall his hand. Instead a small rock found its way into his grappling fingers and he pulled it out.
A reddish, purple glow memorised Aerrow for a few seconds before he placed it in Lypix's outstretched hand, she pulled it up to her face and whispered into it, "where do we go?" the crystal hummed for a few seconds before taking off and pulling Lypix with it, the other Storm Hawks not far behind.
Ka still continued, plodding on and smiling secretly to herself, if only Lypix had known that she knew how Lypix would have reacted.

Lypix allowed herself to be dragged in a panic, why was she so afraid of Ka? All she was, was an opposite projection of her, but there was something unnerving about seeing yourself as the enemy, wow, she had self-esteem issues.
"Where are we going?!" Finn puffed, trying to keep up.
"I'm not sure, but it's taking us out of here!" Lypix replied.
"Whoa! Stop!" Aerrow called pulling her back from a sudden chasm.
"That was close" she breathed looking over the edge, but the wisdom crystal still tugged at her.
"Lypix, you're not going anywhere" a smug voice laughed from behind her.
"A, dudes, we have a problem" Finn announced.
Lypix didn't want to turn around, her eyes darted around looking for what the crystal was after, luckily she saw its intention but knew she'd have to play it cool.
"Ka, I've told you, stay away from me" she growled.
"Aww, but Lypix it's so fun to smell their blood" she motioned to the Storm Hawks "and track them down."
Lypix saw her chance, "Ka, grow up" and she spread her wings and arced backwards across the cavern, landing neatly on the other side.
She dashed further out of sight and managed to find the bush she had been looking for, carefully she pulled out a silvery blue coloured crystal and flew back across the chasm.
"What's that?" Ka asked slightly worried.
"This Ka" Lypix said, holding it up to the light and smiling, "Is a transportation crystal" and with a glint of the light they were gone, back on the Condor.
"WE HAVE TO GO NOW!" Lypix bellowed.
Everyone jumped to their feet and got to positions.
Lypix sat down at the table, it all seeming to be in slow motion as they took off.
She was weary, and put her head down on the table, falling out of consciousness.
Later once they were stabilized in the air they noticed her slumbering quietly.
"I'll take her man" Finn grinned with malicious content.
"No Finn," Aerrow corrected, knowing full well what he was thinking, "I'll take her."
He picked her up and carried Lypix down the corridors to her room.
He lay Lypix down on her bunk and brushed her coal black hair back into place.
"Mmm" she mumbled.
"What?" Aerrow asked, leaning in closer to hear.
"Aerrow… don't leave me here alone" she murmured half asleep.
Aerrow looked at her peaceful face, her eyes closed and her skin almost airbrushed.
He closed the small gap between them and kissed her full on the lips.
Lypix's eyes fluttered in her sleep but she didn't wake, just settled into more peaceful dreams.
