Dragonwings114: Thanks, voting ended….You'll see what happens and what does TTNR mean?
Oh yeah, I'd also like to announce…..I'm going to National Science Fair! (Yes, I know, kind of geeky or whatever but humans didn't just get to where we are today on strength! Brains played a huge part! grin Thank you for reading all of this by the way! Especially thanks to all of you people who have read this from the beginning all the way!)
Okay….now to the part that you people really want to hear! Writing Time!
Terra and Sky of Cyclonia:
The clash sounded like metal grating metal. Both dived towards the terra, their energy crashing together and creating sparks.
Soon both girls were panting in their own pools of blood. They stared, unsure of the other's next move.
Fallen were the Rex Guardians and Snipe and Ravess. Fallen were a hundred friends. Fallen were a thousand enemies.
The survivors watched the two predators bet each other. Aerrow knew he had never seen something so violent in his life. No one strayed anywhere near them for fear of getting demolished by a stray blast. How could they possibly still be alive?
The two raced at each other again. Lark punched Tallen's bleeding stomach. Tallen dropkicked Lark and the older girl fell to the ground. Faster than anyone could see, both were in the air again, watching, beating, blasting the other. A storm brewed overhead. Lightning ripped the heavens to shreds. Thunder growled and rain seeped from a broken sky.
The Dark Ace and Aerrow had lost their skimmers and were currently gliding in the sky, blasting bolts of crystal energy at the other. Aerrow dropped to ground level and could see Finn had lost his skimmer as well. Aerrow could see the crimson liquid drip down his arm. The Sky Knight once again found the Sharpshooter and both went back to back to try and get a 360 degree view.
Piper threw a firebolt crystal at a Cyclonian, and was hit. Both the red-clad man and herself fell to the ground. Finn, seeing Piper falling, raced towards her and broken her fall, as well as his arm. Aerrow shot the Dark Ace with the Lighting Claw on sight and then the older man disappeared into the war.
Suddenly all eyes turned to the two Cyclonian heiresses. This seemed to be it. In a few quick attacks, one could kill the other. Aerrow could feel his throat dry up. He could see the outline of Tallen's wings, the glint of her red eyes and the gleam of her silvery hair.
Junko kneeled next to Finn, Piper, Aerrow, and Stork, who had been a field medic for this battle and had been wrapping Finn's arm as best he could with what little equipment he had left….everything went silent besides the sky and the battle of the two women.
Cyclonis hit Tallen hard in the side making the girl fly back ten feet and crash into the ground. For a while, it looked like Tallen was dead…but Lark still looked unsure.
Tallen looked up at the sky. She was born on a night much like this. Now, she felt as though she would never be able to stand again.
"Cyclonia has its bad times and good times. You just have to make the best out of what you have. No matter how alone in the world you feel, just look around. You are who you choose to be," Tallen could hear the clear voice of her mother saying to herself nearly nine years ago.
"I want to be…me," Tallen smiled. She couldn't give up. That wasn't her. With new found strength she looked straight at Lark and flew up like a bullet. Lark crashed into the ground.
Tallen was charging something with more power than anyone living had ever seen. A thin line of white energy pierced Lark's stomach and pinned her to the ground. On the other end was Tallen, an arrow head looking shape charging in her hands. Down the line of energy it flew, looking like a real arrow as white energy streamed past it, making it impossible to see. As it crashed into the older girl a shock wave shook the terra. Sky Wings put up shield on themselves and others of the Sky Order around them. Aerrow closed his eyes against the blinding light that expanded from Lark, to the entire terra, and then all the way to Atmosia.
The light started to recede. Aerrow blinked open his eyes and saw that Tallen had also fallen as a result of using all her power reserves. He tried to go nearer, but felt Sun, the Sky Wing that had put a shield around the Storm Hawks, hold him back.
"Let me go! I have to see-"
"It's not over yet."
Aerrow didn't know what she meant until he saw Tallen, stumbling towards the silhouette of Lark. She was bleeding. She fell to her knees next to Lark.
She grabbed something and broke it off from Lark's neck, then she did the same to herself. She held in her hand Lark's onyx black crystal and her own diamond white crystal.
Sun let Aerrow go, but a shock wave once again blasted though the terra. Rumble turned to plant life. The old Cyclonia was restored.
The rain receded, and for the first time in more than seven years, sunlight touched the terra. The bodies of the fallen had seemed the fall slowly into the Terra. Gravestones rose. It wasn't as much as a haunted place as much as a memorial to those who risked their lives, and lost them, on both sides.
Tallen smiled softly and then fell forward.
The remaining factions ran towards her. He kneeled next to her limp body and stared face shrouded in shadows. Feather shivered and couldn't stop. Some cried, others didn't know what to do now that both heiresses lay there bleeding. A medical team pushed the Aerrow aside.
Next time- Are Lark and Tallen dead? What is the future for Cyclonia?
Yes, I made an evil cliffhanger.
