Wow it's seriously been awhile since I've written the last chapter for this story. Well enough chatting let's go on with How It All Began!!

"Mr. Blake"

Recap: (the shortest one ever)

"Mr. Blake??"

(End of Recap)

The one who was called Mr. Blake looked up from the bar menu.

"Sora? Is that you?"

"Oh my gosh, NO WAY!! MR. BLAKE!!," Sora screamed.

She ran around the bar counter to go and hug her "uncle".

Sora and Mr. Blake weren't really related, they were just close, since Aurinn was good friends with Mr. Blake, too.

"Awww, wow, I haven't seen you for ages! I missed you so much, Mr. Blake! Where have you been??"

"Ahhh! Sora, It's good to see you again, haha. I've been a bit busy. What are you doing here?"

"I work here!" Sora beamed proudly.

"Oh, really? Well, that's interesting! What are you doing so far away from home?"

Sora gasped.

Mr. Blake doesn't know…he must not know anything…about…my family…about what happened…and he doesn't even know Aerrow…ohh…he was always the one out of the loop…

"Uhh…Mr. Blake have you umm…heard the news?"

"News? Umm…" Mr. Blake tilted his head.

"You…you know about…the whole thing with Cyclonia…they tried to invade and take control of the Atmos…"

"Oh! Yes, Sora I knew that. But what does that have to do with your family?"

"Ummm…well…you know how Dad was a sky knight…right?" Sora asked, trying to give little pieces of information at a time.

"Yes, yes…" Mr. Blake still was a bit lost…then…"Oh no…Sora…did…did they?…"

Sora nodded her head.

"Oh Sora, I'm so sorry...you must be all alone…" Mr. Blake embraced the child he knew for so long.

"Mr. Blake, I'm not lonely. I have a brother. And the people here took my brother and me in. We even have a…a…creature-friend," Sora smiled.

"What? You have a brother?"

Sora nodded her head enthusiastically. "Things aren't as bad as they seem. I'm okay. I still have family."

Mr. Blake was a bit surprised at the news. It was good of course for Sora not being alone, but still it was a bit unexpected.

"His name is Aerrow, my brother. And our creature-friend is named Radarr. And the person who owns the inn is-"

"Rosie," Mr. Blake finished for her. "I know her. She and I are good friends."

"Oh! That's great! Then you know Piper, too?"

"Yes, yes I do. Haha, speaking of which, she is just like you when you were around her age. So you have a brother, now?"

"Mmmhmm. He's about the same age as Piper! They play tag and stuff a lot, and Radarr plays with them too. Sometimes I join them, haha."

"Ahh…I see…that's good that you have someone. Another family member to keep close to you."

"Yes…" Sora smiled.

"Did you know that I have a son now?"

"Really??" Sora's eyes shined. She loved meeting more people, especially since everyone she knew before then was now gone, except for her brother and Radarr, and Mr. Blake of course.

"Yes. His name is Finn. In fact, he's around Piper's age, which means he must be around your brother, Aerrow's, age too."

"Oh! Mr. Blake next time you come, you have to bring Finn with you! I'd love to meet him! And I'm sure Aerrow would too! And Radarr! And Piper!"

"Ahh yes, I'm sure he would love to, too. But he has already met Piper, haha!"

"Oh I see. Hmm," Sora smiled.

"Yes, we should get the children to meet and play with each other that would be fun."

"Mmhmm!" Sora nodded her head with stars in her eyes.

"Alright then, I'll bring him next time. Now…would it be alright if I have some light beer?"

"Oh!! Oh yes! I'm sorry I completely forgot about you being our customer! I was just so excited about seeing you again and then-"

Sora ran around the counter to the kitchen side and sprinted to get a beer for Mr. Blake. And while she did so, she continued to spazz out and panic while she ran around with a beer in her hands.

"Here you go, Mr. Blake. I'm sorry about that, please forgive me," Sora blubbered.

"Sora, you're so silly! It's no big deal."

"No, no, but you're our customer and I was supposed to serve you!"

"Ahh it's alright, please calm down."

"….Okay."

Mr. Blake took a last sip of his beer. "Ahh, that was good. Rosie always provides the best food and drink."

"Yes, yes she does."

"Hmm," Mr. Blake nodded his head once. "If it's alright, do you think you could tell me about what has happened since we last met?"

"Ohh…that's going to take awhile. I hope you're in for a long story," Sora said.

"Well, I'm going to stay here for awhile. Finn and his mother are out at Terra Neon tonight, so they won't be home for a bit."

"Ohh…Terra Neon, that's fun!" Sora commented. Terra Neon…that's where Tanner and I went…such a short while ago…but then again it seems like it was so long since the last time I've seen him.

"So tell me, what has happened all these years?"

Sora recalled all that had happened and told him the story.

"Ahh…so quite a lot has happened to you, hmm?"

"Yes…a lot…"

"I'm very sorry to hear what happened…it's…it's really sad…"

"Yea…but…we're gonna get them back!" Sora made a fist with her right hand.

"Hmm?"

"Oh! I didn't tell you about what Aerrow, Radarr, and Piper are going to do. We're going to gang up and reborn the Storm Hawks! And we're gonna get Cyclonia back for what they did to us, and we're going to protect the Atmos!"

Mr. Blake was a bit startled by this sudden flare of courage.

"That's…a nice thought…but aren't you all a bit too young?"

"I'm not...err…I don't think so. Maybe we can wait a few more years for Aerrow and Piper. But I'm ready, I've been ready, and I have my own skimmer and weapon, and I've got the combat knowledge I need."

"Ahh…now what about skimmers and weapons for the children? And what about their combat knowledge? And you'll all especially need a place to stay, like a large ship or something. You'll also need that ship to travel around and store you're skimmers in."

Sora spaced out for a moment. "…oh…right…"

She banged her head on the counter and stood there.

"it's alright, I'm sure you'll be able to somehow…get all of the gear you need. With the great courage in your heart, I know you can do it," Mr. Blake said, as he patted her shoulder.

"I guess…" Sora muffled.

"Hmm…Well, I better be off now. It's getting really late and I need to get home to my wife and Finn."

Sora popped out from her depressing mood. "Oh! Right, yes you should get home."

Sora walked Mr. Blake out the door.

"Wow, that's a nice…umm…vehicle you have there."

"Ahh, yes, thank you. Oh, here, why don't you visit this place sometime? They might have a good ship you can afford," Mr. Blake handed Sora a card. "It's where I got my transport from, for quite a good price, too.

"Thank you, Mr. Blake."

Sora scanned the card then looked up. "It's on Terra Merb. Merbs run the company?"

"Yes, they do. They are actually known for their shipbuilding skills."

"Hmm, that's interesting. Thanks again."

"Mmmhmm, no problem. I'll bring Finn next time I come. Goodbye!"

"Bye, Mr. Blake!!" Sora waved her hand until he was out of sight.

She looked at the card again.

"Terra Merb…hmm…"
