"Look Max, I'm really sorry but I have to train to become a Sky Knight. And I haven't got a permanent home yet."
"Then stay with us! We have plenty of space for you!" Max was pleading by now.
"I'm sorry Max.'
"But after you're knighted you'll come back for us… won't you?"
This caught me off guard. What if I formed a new squadron? There's just no telling tomorrow.
"Look… I can't promise you anything. What if you guys move or find a Sky Knight while I'm gone? There's just no telling tomorrow... Or what if..." I didn't finish the sentence.
"I understand…" Max put on a very composed face.
"Max…"
"No, really it's… fine. She looked disappointed. "Anyways, I had some time on my hands since I finished fixing your skimmer early and I decided to make you something, you know to help you become a Sky Knight."
She walked over to the garage and pulled out two sticks. "I know that most Sky Knights have twin blades and swords and all but I'm pretty good with my hands so I made you nun chucks." She handed them to me. I felt so bad accepting them but I knew it'd make her happy so I took them anyways.
"They're enhanced with Hanzo crystals, you know from the night you helped us get our crystals back…"
"Thank you Max."
"It was really nothing.'
I turned towards the boys. "Thank you guys too."
"You're always welcome" Larkin said.
"No problem." Was all Zenith said.
I got on my skimmer and took one last look at them, their house, and Terra Mesa my back up home. "Thank you for everything guys, I'll surely remember all of you. Thanks again." I took off into the black night.
