Right after A Little Trouble and to after Escape.

"I heard you failed again," Lilith said in a sing song voice. Her back was pressed up against the wall, and she watched as Snipe dragged himself out of Master Cyclonis's office.

Snipe said nothing as he continued to walk. He had just been embarrassed by a baby. A baby had made him look like a complete fool. He had no energy to get into a fight with Lilith as he continued down the hall.

'Why does she keep trusting these fools?' Lilith demanded to herself as she watched Snipe drag himself down the hall. 'They can do nothing right.'

"Lilith," she heard her master call for her.

"Yes Master Cyclonis?" asked as she practically ran into the office as she bounced on the balls of her feet. She was ready for a real assignment against the Storm Hawks. She was ready to prove herself that she could defeat these upstarts.

"I want you to start tracking down Sky Knights," Master Cyclonis said simply as she didn't even look up from what she was working on. "I want a list of every known Sky Knight and the terra they call home."

For a second, Lilith was at a loss for words. Had she really just been assigned a mundane task? "Master, surely this is a job for the ones who have disappointed you time and time again," Lilith tried to reason. She didn't want a task that would take her a matter of hours to do. She wanted a task that would take her far away to explore. She wanted to get out of Cyclonia for a little while again.

"No, this is a task for you," Cyclonis stated as she continued to fiddle with a crystal that was on her desk.

"Please, let me face these Storm Hawks," Lilith begged. She was tired of the mundane life that she was being forced to live.

"Patience," Cyclonis said as she looked up with a grin on her face. "The Storm Hawks will learn of your existence soon enough. I want to make sure that when we reveal you to them, it will come as a true surprise."

"Fine," Lilith huffed as she left Master Cyclonis's office and headed back to her own room. As she walked into her room, she immediately went over to her desk to pull out several sheets of paper. "This is so dumb," she muttered to herself as she grabbed a pencil and walked out of her room. "I should be the one fighting the Storm Hawks!" she said to herself as she walked towards Master Cyclonis's library.

"Careful what you wish for," Dark Ace whispered in Lilith's ear as he snuck up behind her.

"Ah!" she screamed slightly. She was so wrapped up in her own thoughts that she hadn't heard Dark Ace walking up to her. "Don't do that," Lilith huffed as she regained her composure and refused to face him.

"You need to be quieter when you rant," Dark Ace teased as spun her around.

"Why?" she challenged as she smoothed out her shirt.

"Because you never know who could be listening," he said as he took a step closer.

"Is that concern I hear in your voice?" Lilith asked with a raised eyebrow as she took a step backwards.

"Possibly, after all, I can't have my prize apprentice getting herself into trouble," he smirked as he took another step closer to her, forcing her up against the wall.

"I'm your prize now?" she asked as she seductively with quirked an eyebrow as her back hit the wall.

"You always have been," he said as a smirked graced his lips right before he bent over and captured Lilith's lips with his own.

Lilith practically melted at the touch of his lips. A soft moan was heard coming from her as she snaked her hand through his hair. If it hadn't been for the wall she was leaning against she would have fallen over and dragged him down with her. 'Two weeks of these kisses and I am still melting,' she said as she mentally kicked herself. 'I'm not some school girl.'

Breaking the kiss, Dark Ace winked at her before he turned around.

"Oi!" she shouted at him as he walked away from her.

"You have work to do," he said as he rounded a corner.


"We are never babysitting again," Aerrow muttered as he slumped against his door. Sure Tynki had saved them in the end, but the stress of having an infant on board was way more than what he was worth. Sighing to himself, Aerrow walked over to his bed to lay down.

"Hey Aerrow?" Piper asked as she knocked on Aerrow's door just as he sat down.

Not feeling like getting up, Aerrow called out, "Yeah Piper?"

"I was wondering if I could talk to you about something," she said as she came into her leader's room.

"What is it?" Aerrow asked as he stopped himself from laying down.

"I got news from a few friends that group of Sky Knights were liberating prisoners from several Cyclonian prisons," Piper stated as she shut the door.

Aerrow nodded his head. He had heard the rumors going around. "I heard about that," he said. "But that was a while ago."

"Well that's just the thing, almost five months ago, they stopped orchestrating prison breaks. They haven't hit another prison since," Piper said.

"Do you happen to know who it was that was in charge of the prison breaks?" Aerrow asked.

"My source said it was the Red Eagle Squadron," Piper answered.

"This is weird," Aerrow said to himself.

"What that they're breaking people out of the prisons?" Piper asked curiously.

"No that they would have stopped before they finished the mission of breaking everyone out of the prisons," Aerrow stated. "Terra Zartacla has the most well-known prison on it. So why didn't they go after it?"

"Maybe they don't have enough people to hit the prison?" Piper offered. "My source said that there was only four of them."

"Well, I know what we can do to help," Aerrow said with a smile.


"So we're going to go break convicts out of jail?" Finn asked, skepticism dripping from his words.

"They are not convicts," Aerrow stated. "Most are of them innocent people that tried to speak out against Cyclonis and she had them thrown in jail. The rest are Sky Knights that have been captured."

"So where is this prison?" Junko asked.

"Terra Zartacla," Piper said as she laid out a map of the terra.

"One problem, how are we supposed to free the prisoners?" Stork asked.

"We'll need a distraction so that way we can get into the prison," Piper said as she continued to study the map before her.

"Leave that to me and Radar," Aerrow told his team.

"What are you thinking?" Piper asked as she crossed her arms over her chest as she looked up from her map.

"Well what better way to have a prison break than to have two convicts escape to start things off?" Aerrow asked as a smile graced his lips. "We'll get captured, then we'll dig our way out here," Aerrow said as he pointed to a schematic of the jail. "The guard towers are here and here, leaving this place the mostly out of the way area. Looking at it this way, neither guard tower can see us right here." Aerrow pointed to the two guard towers that were on the north and south ends of the prison.

"You'll have to remain in the prison for a few days," Piper said as she studied the map.

"Why?" Junko asked confused. He didn't like the idea of his friends being held in prison.

"They'll be on high alert when they first bring Aerrow and Radar in, give it a few days and they won't suspect a thing," Piper said happily.

"So how are you going to get arrested?" Finn asked as he looked over the map.

"Well, a few words about Master Cyclonis in front of the right person should land me a one way ticket onto Terra Zartacla," Aerrow said simply.


"She has been here for almost 6 months and I have nothing on her!" Ravess screamed in frustration. "I cannot take her snide comments anymore," she growled as she paced back and forth in front of her brother.

Snipe, for once, did the smart thing, kept his mouth shut as Ravess paced back and forth in front of him. He knew it was better to let his sister rant, one to many attacks from Ravess made him finally keep his mouth shut.

"She can't be that perfect," Ravess growled as she flung her sheet music around her room. "Cover for me," Ravess said as she walked out of her room and to Lilith's room.

As she was walking towards Lilith's room, she passed the library where Lilith was grumbling about working on her assignment. Ravess noticed that the girl had been in the library constantly for the last few days. Whenever someone had asked her what she had been doing, she replied with, 'A task that is not worth my time.' So walking a little faster, Ravess made her way to Lilith's room. Quietly, Ravess snuck into Lilith's.

"Now where would I hide something?" Ravess asked herself as she walked over to the lone dresser in the room.

Carefully she opened each drawer and rummaged through its content. Sighing to herself she went the closet next. Ravess almost screamed when she opened the empty closet. Furious, she slammed the doors shut. Next she went over to the desk to look again. She opened each drawer, and like before, there was nothing incriminating in them. She wanted to let out a scream. But before she could do that, she heard the sound of Lilith approaching the room. Thinking quickly, Ravess hide in the empty closet.

"You're going to get me into trouble," Lilith said seductively as she walked backwards into her room. Her eyes were trained on the person in front of her.

"Since when did you care if you get into trouble or not?" Dark Ace said as he followed his girlfriend into the room.

"I care enough not to get on Master's bad side," she said as she slipped around his side to shut her door.

"Is that so?" he challenged as he pinned her against the door and started kissing her.

"It is," was all she was able to say before Dark Ace's lips crashed into her own.

Ravess watched with wide eyes as the two generals made out in front of her. But her shock and surprise quickly turned to dark pleasure as she realized that she now had something on the annoying general. She also had something on Master Cyclonis's most trusted general.

Lilith and Dark Ace paused in the middle of their make out session when they heard a knock on the door. Taking a second to regain their composer, Lilith answered the door. "Yes?" she said as she opened the door enough to stick her head out.

"Master Cyclonis would like you to report to her office," the Talon said as she looked anywhere but at Lilith. The girl was terrified of what Lilith would do to her.

"May I ask why?" Lilith inquired.

"Master said that all of the generals are supposed to report to her office," the Talon said.

"Very well, I'll find Dark Ace and report," Lilith said as she shut the door to her room.

"So we have to report to Master Cyclonis," Dark Ace smirked as he kissed Lilith's neck.

"But I said that I would find you first," she pointed out as she closed her eyes in bliss as Dark Ace kissed her neck.

"Well you found me," he said as he kissed the other side of her neck.

"Yes I did," she said as she continued to enjoy the moment.

"Come on," Dark Ace said as he broke away from Lilith.

"You had to ruin the moment didn't you?" she demanded as she followed Dark Ace out of her room. "You couldn't let me just enjoy that for a few more seconds?"

Ravess stayed put in the closet until she could no longer hear the other two generals. As she emerged from the closet, she smiled to herself. She had found the evidence that she needed to get rid of Lilith. Ravess almost started jumping up in down in joy, that was before she realized that it would be her word against theirs. And she knew that Master Cyclonis would listen to them before her. No, she would have to tread lightly with this information for now until she had a witness of the two of them together.

Quickly, Ravess made her way to Master Cyclonis's office as to not miss the meeting. She didn't need Master Cyclonis even more mad at her.

"Thank you for joining us," Lilith sneered as the pink haired general ran into the office.

Before Ravess could do anything, Master Cyclonis began. "It has come to my attention that my final prison has had a prison break."

Ravess watched the look of shock that appeared on Lilith's face. She then remembered that Lilith had been assigned to inspect the prison. Smiling to herself, Ravess realized that the esteemed general now had a black mark on her record.

Every matter of escape went through Lilith's head as she stood before Master Cyclonis. 'How could there have been a prison break. I inspected it myself,' she thought.

"You are not in trouble Lilith, but see that you do not make the same mistake again," Master Cyclonis warned.

"Yes Master," Lilith said in defeat. "Master Cyclonis, may I ask who broke into the prison?"

"The Storm Hawks," she said simply.

'Finally they make a fool out of her,' Ravess thought with glee.

"You are all dismissed," Master Cyclonis said as she went back to working on her project. "A word Dark Ace," she called out as he was about to leave the room.
