"Why?! Are you joking me?" Skyla giggled lightly and her bow slightly moved. Finn moved toward her and she trained her bow to his forhead. " I wouldn't do that if I were you."

"Please, Skyla. I'm begging you. Why are you doing this?" Finn's voice cracked and his eyes were on the brink of bawling. Skyla sighed and her bow dropped to his chest.

"Well, I guess you deserve an explanation. You see, when I was ten, my father left my mother. He was a beautiful man. He had deep blue eyes that could pierce anyone's soul. It broke her heart dearly when he left and she tried to do everything in her power to hunt him down and kill him but she was a lowly citizen. She heard about the Talons and came here," Skyla motioned to Cyclonia. "To meet Master Cyclonis in person. Master Cyclonis loved her hatred so much, she placed my mom as her left hand person. My mom was owly about it but never spoke out. After that, I attempted to see my mother in Cyclonia and was captured. They believe I was an enemy rogue. I tried to explain but they sentenced me to death by freezing. They dropped me off on Terra Blizzaris without any protective gear. I nearly froze to death but then I heard a familiar voice. It was Ravess. She came to save me, my mother..." Skyla sighed and her bow dropped down further to Finn's "Area" He cautiously moved his hand to block it and tilted his head.

"Wait! You're Ravess' daughter?!"

"Told you so." Stork's voice issued from the Condor. Skyla shot at it and he backed off.

"Yeah, of course. Where else can I have got those gold eyes? anyways, she came,picked me up, cuddled me in a blanket, and took me onto her carrier. I warmed up and she told me never to come looking for her again. When I asked her why, she said I looked too much like Dad. It hurt but I followed her orders. When I was flying around, I met Tallula and Bryce. We joined each other and formed the Night Riders. I never forgot about mom though. I owe her."

"By leading us into a trap and getting us killed. I've known you for two weeks and it's not in your nature to do something like this. It's not you."

"I'm not the squeaky-clean, trust-worthy person you thought I was. That's not me."

"Well, before you kill me, I have to tell you something."

"Go on. I'm listening."

"I... I love you. I have ever since you first landed on the Condor. I didn't know what it was at first but here, now, I understand it. I love you, Skyla." Skyla dropped her bow into her lap ad moved closer to his skimmer. She sighed.

"You know, this wasn't part of my plan. I wasn't suppose to fall in love with you but I did. I love you too, Finn. More than you imagine but I'm suppose to kill you. That's my job." Finn smirked and looked toward the tower where the war was situated. He glanced up toward the glass ledge where they landed before.

" Well," Finn said, a wide smile on his face. "I know one way for killing a guy. Now, if you just follow me..."

"Aerrow, a little help over here, please." Piper groaned as seven Talons piled atop of her.

"I'm on it." Aerrow exclaimed as he blew a whole line of Talons off with his energy blast. He allowed his monster to take over and anger came in strong waves. Aerrow miled and rushed over to Piper. In one slash, Aerrow sent seven Talons flying.

"Thanks."

"Welcome." Aerrow shouted back as he headed toward Junko. "How's it coming, Junko?"

"Good, My turkey burps are keeping them back." Junko exclaimed and a random Talon got a mouthful of dust. Another Talon snuck up from behind Junko. Radarr threw a chicken in his face and he dropped out of sight. "Thanks, Radarr." Radarr nodded and threw a wrench at another Talon. He ran into another one and they both spiraled out of control. Aerrow giggled and scanned the battle field. Aerrow spotted Dark Ace and he growled. Dark Ace was with a woman and Aerrow first thought it was Master Cyclonis. He shook that thought when she flipped her hair. It was too long to her. She was smiling and Dark Ace followed. Aerrow growled deeply and sped toward him. The girl split and Dark Ace stared at him.

"How dare you play around with my girl..."

"Your girl?" Their energy blades clashed and the blue light fought the red as they started their duel. "Where were you when she fell for me?" Their blades scraped as they pushed each other back.

"She never fell for you. She was always in love with me."

"Not always..." Stork's voice stated as he past by in the Condor. Dark Ace shot at him and Stork rushed away.

"She's mine now. We end this tonight." They clashed again and the light grew brighter.

"Ravess, your presence is needed on the battle field." Master Cyclonis' voice said through the radio.

"I just need to get my things an I'll be right out." Ravess skipped down the hall and into a darkly lit room. Curtains of gold and green hung in the room as dark blanket covered something and purple ones covered others. Ravess sighed and headed toward her skimmer which was hidden under a black blanket. She was about to uncover it when a loud thudding noise issued through the room.

"OUCH. Not so hard." a male's voice echoed through the room. Ravess pondered on his voice for she heard it before. She shrugged and trained her bow on a green curtain where the noise was coming from. She pulled back the curtain and gasped. Finn and Skyla were oblivious to everything around them as they kissed.

"Skyla! What are you doing?"

"Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh... I was trying to suffocate him."

"With what? Your tongue?!"

"Yeah...It's a new method." She smiled weakly.

"Effective. I felt myself dying..." Finn grinned in joy.

"Shut up!" Skyla snapped and Finn cowarded. She turned toward her mother. "Mom, this is my life..."

"Which I saved. You owe me!"

"Not any more." Skyla said and she drug Finn past Ravess.

"COME BACK HERE!" Ravess shouted as she shot arrows at them. Finn and Skyla got on their skimmers and sped into the war zone. Finn sped toward Aerrow and Aerrow lifted his head to look at Finn.

"Hey, Finn. Where have you been?" Aerrow asked as he eyed up Finn. His hair was a complete mess and he had a bruise forming above his left eyebrow.

"Uh, Places..."

"EWWWW!!" Everybody exclaimed and even a few Talons stopped mid-fight to cringe. Dark Ace and Aerrow were two of the people who stopped.

"NO, no, no, no, no, no, no, no... Oh noooo, no, no, no, noooo, no, no..." Skyla exclaimed waving her hands around.

"Way to make a guy feel special." Finn whispered and he rubbed the back of his neck.

"No..." Skyla finished and it was dead silent. The duels paused for a brief second than the war started up all over again. Piper and Master Cyclonis started a duel and Dark Ace and Aerrow continued theirs. Skyla and Finn dodged Ravess and Snipe as they attempted to help people. "Wait! I have an idea." Finn stopped and Skyla turned around to speed head-on toward her mother. "This time, you're going down. You abandoned me and I nearly died because of it. You will pay for it. I owe you nothing!" Ravess' and Skyla's skimmer met in the center of the battle and the whoosh of arrows flying pierce the air with sharp, nearly unheard bangs.
