Piper had managed to last a full day and was now gazing upon the once-in-a-lifetime-gathering of all the Sky Knights Atmos had to offer, including the six who had gone to rescue Aerrow and failed, now bearing several scratches and black eyes.
She felt the need to stand up proud and strong and give out a legendary speech but resisted, knowing it wasn't her place to do so.
Finn and Junko were flanking her, Radarr on her shoulder the way he usually was on Aerrow's and Stork was behind her, peering nervously over her shoulder.
Piper had no idea how they'd managed to fit everyone in the Condor's bridge but it had happened, and now she stood with her Sky Knight-less squadron in the midst of great company that would for sure be cut down by half at the least when all this was over.
'Alright everyone, listen up!' A familiar, accented voice spoke over the voices that instantly faded away, glad to have someone to focus on.
Piper noticed the movement of Starling's recognizable purple hair making its way to the round table in the middle of the room.
Her head appeared above everyone else's and she met Piper's gaze, nodding once before starting her prep talk.
'As you know, this is going to be the biggest battle Atmos has seen in years. Bigger than ever before. We are going to fight till the death and we're going to win this!' She raised her hand in the air over her head and everyone copied her surge of power. 'We will be victorious! So long as we stick together and never give up! We do this for Atmos and all its residents... and we do this for Aerrow who is currently being held prisoner in Cyclonia. Remember never to let your guard down and fight for your lives in the way that young, and very brave Sky Knight does for you.' Starling stalled and scanned the many heads in front of her before yelling as loud as she could. 'FOR AERROW! FOR ATMOS!'
'FOR AERROW!' Everyone chorused and raised their hands again in a wave. 'FOR ATMOS!'
Piper yelled along with everyone else, letting the power her leader's name had on her surge through her veins.
The room started emptying as everyone spilled out onto their sky rides that were parked out on the runway of the Condor and on any place a sky ride could balance.
Piper turned to Stork and put a hand on his shoulder. 'Remember not to hold back. This is it so go wild. Use the cannons and everything! Even barge the Condor into as many Cyclonians as you can so long as not to hurt any of our side.'
Stork nodded in full understanding and Piper knew he was restraining from hitting her hand away with a gasp of disgust at any human contact.
'Okay, let's do this.' She took a breath, let go of Stork and made her way to her sky ride where Finn and Junko were waiting for her to join them.
'C'mon, Storm Hawks.' She said as she swung one leg expertly over her ride and revved up the engine, Radarr landing on the seat behind her, ears perked. 'Let's ride.'
The three Storm Hawks reared their rides onto the back wheels then sped off down the now empty runway to join the swarm of Sky Knights in the sky, waiting for the enemy to join them.

Okay, that was very short and, lets say, not very action-packed. But don't worry! I'll post chappie 11 right after this one so read that one too please!

Comment on this chapter and 11 please, not just on the same one :) Thanks for reading!
