Author's note: whoop! I'm back, I have finally got on top of mount homework so I can give this chapter to my wonderful readers, and you really are all awesome. Anyway, I own nothing except the plot and the account. Credit to Nerd Corps for giving us Storm Hawks.

LAW

Several months had passed since Aerrow had left the Storm Hawks and joined Cyclonia. And as he had predicted, the Storm Hawks carried on perfectly well without him. Well as well as they could do with him attacking them every other week.

Aerrow was gazing at his reflection on the privacy of his quarters. His eyes were different. He couldn't really say how though. They seemed harder, colder, crueller. His face was more angular, all softness gone from it. He looked like a true Cyclonian now.

There was a knock at his door. Aerrow jumped slightly and came out of his little world into the real one. He answered the door and saw Ravess standing there. " Our Master has orders for you." She said curtly before turning heel and leaving Aerrow standing there. She still disliked the brat, but now they were on the same side, she held a grudging respect toward him.

At first she didn't understand her Master's reasoning for letting Aerrow join Cyclonia, but all had been explained.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Flashback~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Aerrow walked, no more sauntered, past her in one of Cyclonia's many corridors. She noticed that he had no sign of any battle wounds and he wasn't being careful to not to be seen. Ravess stopped and, frowning, turned and watched the Storm Hawk. She shook her head, and carried on the Cyclonis's throne room.

She kneeled before her Master. " Master, the Storm Hawks leader is in Cyclonia."

" I know he is." Was it Ravess's imagination or did Cyclonis sound happy?

" Oh, I see."

" It's very good for us if you think about it, the Dark Ace has left us, and Aerrow is the best fighter in the Atmos, and now he is on our side, his bond with Piper is almost certain to be broken, meaning that we have the advantage once again. I am, once again, the most accomplished crystal mage in Atmos, with the best fighter the Atmos has to offer under my command. We can't lose.

" And I could hardly let the chance pass, he was so distraught when he came. So easy to manipulate."

And as such, Ravess had come to believe that it was a purely strategic move on her Master's part, what she had said had made sense. It was the reason every talon believed. After all, their Master's word was law.
