For the Dark Ace. It's about time you old man...
EP12: Latem's POV
I woke up before Piper, before anyone. I've been waking up early and sleeping late working on a ride to give it strong, long-lasting resilience, and energy efficient back at the garage. It was me and Dad's project. We were close to being done too. It required tests on every part that went into it. I was in charge of that while Dad welded everything together. Progress was even slower now that I was alone.
"You're really good with engines."
"Oh, hey Finn." He wolf whistled.
"She's a beauty,"
"You haven't seen anything yet," I ran to the side of the hanger, shut off the lights and pressed the button on the key.
"Woah! She lights up?!"
"That's right, baby!" I threw my rag down.
"Outside gear strong enough to repeal crystal blasts, inspired by our past adventures, with a UVA, UVB protective coat, stain and streak resistant, water proof so it'll survive water and heat damage…equipped with an amplifier plus a turbo for an extra boost ontop of the turbo charged and powered engine. The turbo crystals have enough energy to last for seven days and nights of non-stop riding."
"This is waaay better than what we have!"
"I could only make your rides compatible with the turbo crystals within the time alotted to me by you guys. Considering how many I upgraded, I think I did great for a day and a half's work."
"No that's not what I meant. How long have you been working on it?"
"My Dad and I have been working on it for a couple months before he went missing. I took over then after waiting a few days for him to come back…uh, anyway I took over. After almost a year I finished it." I wish-
"We''ll find your Dad Latem, there's nothing the Storm Hawks can't do with brains like you added to the team."
"You mean that? We're a team?"
"Yeah, since day one." I smiled at him. He's really sweet...
"After we're done with Cycloniss and we've found my Dad, Dad and I can build a few for you guys. It's the least I can do for you guys."
Meanwhile...
Cycloniss' POV
"Where…is the Dark Ace?!…" He's been gone all morning, where could he be?!...
"He is in the area behind the cave."
"Go get him!" I yell. Whatever it is distracting him, I don't care! He swore loyalty to Cyclonia, it still exists, and he swore his loyalty to me after the last Empress died. I'm going to put him in his place...
"Dark Ace."
"Can't you see I'm busy?!"
"Master Cycloniss-"
"Errghh!" I stomped past him.
Cycloniss' POV
"What is it."
"Watch that tone Dark. Ace...When you're speaking to me; You're my Talon, you work for me. You agreed to that ten months ago…"
"I would know, I agreed to it." I tossed the map to him, he caught it at arms length.
"We're leaving." I lead the way into the front where all the Nightcrawlers were and straight to our rides.
"Master."
"Are they ready?" I mounted my ride and flipped the switches, turning on the engine and the turbo compatibility making it light up.
"Yes Master, as you requested. Two updated skyrides with adaptations to turbo crystals however there are only enough-"
"Send others to fetch more."
Back with the Storm Hawks...
We sat around the table having lunch, laughing at a banter between Finn and Junko.
S-"Hey, I do't want to alarm you but…I spy with my little eye the Empress of Cyclonia riding her sky ride not too far from us…"
"CYCLONISS?!"
AN:We're close to the end. Review if you're still bearing with me.
