Okay so I may not be able to update for a while. For those of you thinking, that I usually don't update for a while, I've just been inspired lately. But now the website I watch my episodes on, won't let me watch for now. If you have any ideas, please let me know. But for now, enjoy the latest chapter. I think you'll will enjoy it.
"Adrianna," Aerrow said as he faced his older sister.
"You're going down Storm Hawk," Lilith ordered as she pulled Nyx out of her sheath. She was not going to take any chances. She was going to defeat this Storm Hawk and prove to Master Cyclonis that she was the best.
"Adrianna it's me," Aerrow said as he slowly lowered his sword. He couldn't believe his eyes at what he was seeing. "What happened to you?"
Flashback
"Adrianna!" elven year old Aerrow shouted as he ran into his sister's room.
"Go back to your friends Aerrow," Adrianna said as she continued to pack. She refused to look at her brother. She knew that if she actually looked at him, she wouldn't have the strength to leave.
"No! You can't leave me!" Aerrow practically bawled to his older sister.
"I turn fourteen in less than a month, I can take care of myself," Adrianna said as she stood up and grabbed a few things from her temporary dresser.
"You can't leave us," Aerrow tried to plead.
"I'll be forced to leave in a year anyways," Adrianna said as she refused to turn around. Tears threaten to fall as she continued to gather her stuff.
"But, they can't kick you out of here," Aerrow tried to reason. "They said that they would take care of all of us." Aerrow felt as if the Terra was crumbling down around him as his sister said that she was leaving.
"They have, and they will continue to take care of you," Adrianna said as she blinked away the tears before turning around to face her brother. She had to be strong. "I spoke with Mrs. Luna, and she said that she will take care of you until you turn sixteen."
"I don't want her to take care of me, I want my family," Aerrow shouted as tears started streaming down his face.
Adrianna stiffened as she put the rest of her stuff in the duffle bag. "Family… Wake up Aerrow! Our family is gone! They've been gone for three years," Adrianna shouted as a tear slid down her cheek. She refused to turn around and face Aerrow.
"But-" Aerrow said as he sniffled.
"No! Dad was murdered and mom couldn't handle it. Our family is gone," Adrianna continue to shout at Aerrow.
"But I still have you," Aerrow said quietly.
"Not anymore," Adrianna said as she shouldered her bag and walked out of her room, leaving Aerrow to stand alone in her empty room.
"I'll make sure that he stays safe," Mrs. Luna said as she walked with Adrianna out of the orphanage and towards the old skimmer that she had built.
"Promise," Adrianna said as she faced the older woman. She had to make sure that her brother would be safe.
"I promise," the woman said as she hugged the teenager. "You know that you don't have to leave right?"
"I can't stay, the crystals here can only protect them for so long. If I stay, their power will drain faster in attempt to hide me as well. Me leaving, will mean that there will be more energy when they all get older," Adrianna said.
"We could find more cloaking crystals," Mrs. Luna tried to reason. She did not want to see the young girl leave.
"No, you and I both know that there are no more," Adrianna said as she buckled her bag down to her skimmer. She refused to cry over lost crystals.
"Where will you go?" the older woman asked as concern laced her voice.
"I don't know," Adrianna admitted. "But I think that I will find a Terra where I can work and train in secret until I am old enough to join a squadron and become a Sky Knight."
"Take this," Mrs. Luna said as she held out a small pouch. "It's not much, but it will help you get yourself started."
"Thank you," Adrianna said as she took the pouch and wrapped her arms around the woman.
"Be safe," Mrs. Luna said as she continued to hug the teen. She hated seeing the teenager leave.
"I will," Adrianna said as she broke away from the embrace and mounted her skimmer.
End Flashback
"What happened to you?!" Aerrow demanded again, as a tear slid down his left cheek.
"It's time you were stopped Sky Knight," Lilith spat as she slowly side stepped to gage up the teen before her. She was finally going to be able to prove herself to Master Cyclonis.
He couldn't and wouldn't fight his sister. To prove his point, Aerrow tossed away the sword that he had been given to fight his sister. He wasn't going to fight her for the amusement of Master Cyclonis.
Lilith saw her opening and rushed in. She swung her sword, but Aerrow dodged. And so this was how it went. She would swing her sword with deadly accuracy and Aerrow would expertly dodge the oncoming attack. It happened like this for a few minutes before Lilith was able to get a lucky swipe of her sword and grazed Aerrow's arm.
Aerrow let out a hiss of pain as he felt Nyx cut his upper arm. "Adrianna, stop! Please, you have to listen to me," Aerrow continued to beg. He continued to try and dodge each attack but his mind refused to focus anymore. All he could focus on was the fact that his sister was trying to kill him.
Junko once again screamed at the smaller cage that held Radar, Finn, and Stork. He was dying to get in on the action and rip apart a Storm Hawk, so for now he kept screaming and startling the other captive Storm Hawks.
"Oh man, Junko's so far gone that he doesn't even recognize us anymore," Finn stated as he stood the farthest away from his team mate he could get.
"We could really use those anti-hypnosis words right now," Stork said as he also kept an eye on Junko as he rattled the cage again. Stork then turned his attention back to Finn and stared angrily at him.
"Uh, um," Finn said as he racked his brain for the right words. "Staring doesn't make things any easier to remember," Finn told Stork.
Radar looked at him expectantly. He was waiting for him to come up with the right words.
"Uh, uh… Cyclonis wears bad shoes!" Finn shouted out as a ditch effort.
Immediately the crowd reacted negatively to Finn. Quite a few people in the crowd even booed Finn for his comment against Master Cyclonis.
"Uh, Cyclonis, um never shampoos," Finn shouted as he had a hold on the crystal.
"Adrianna, please stop," Aerrow begged again.
"My name is Lilith, and you would be wise to remember it," Lilith seethed. She was getting irritable for a few reasons. The first reason being that the boy in front of her refused to fight her. He kept dodging her and refusing to fight back. Then she was also getting a massive migraine. It made it feel like her brain was being torn in half. How was she supposed to fight if she couldn't think straight?
Aerrow took less than a second to send a glance at Finn as he spouted off random things about Cyclonis.
Lilith used that second to her advantage as she lunged at Aerrow.
Aerrow snapped his attention to Adrianna just in the nick of time to grab her wrists and keep her swords away from him. She was good, better than she had ever been when they were kids. She was even better than Dark Ace. Aerrow was having a hard trying to hold her off. Not to mention, he was trying not to fight because she was his sister.
"Fight me!" Adrianna yelled as Aerrow shoved her away from him to give himself room.
"No, I won't fight you," Aerrow said as he backed up.
"Then you will die," she stated as she put away Helios. She was done playing. Lilith planned not drag the fight out any longer. She was good with both blades, but she was great with only one in her hands.
"Tell me why you are loyal to Cyclonis?" Aerrow demanded as he avoided the onslaught of strikes that his sister sent his way.
"I have always been loyal! I was loyal ever since my parents died when I was a kid. I became a Talon and then worked hard to become a general for Master Cyclonis. She finally recognized my talents and I became Lilith," she stated as she backed up to control her breathing. 'I'm getting to emotionally involved,' she thought to herself.
"That's a lie," Aerrow spat. He was beyond furious. 'How could she believe she grew up a Talon? Also, how could she want to work for Cyclonis?' Aerrow asked himself as he watched Adrianna's posture change.
"A lie? How would you know?" she challenged.
"Because," Aerrow started as he let his guard down.
"Wrong move Storm Hawk," Lilith sneered as she went in for one final attack.
"You're my sister," Aerrow said as the sword touched his neck.
As he said those words, Adrianna's word was turned upside down. Past memories, both real and fake memories bombarded her mind. She felt like her mind was being ripped in two.
"We have served Master Cyclonis for years! Finish him, prove yourself to her," Lilith shouted in her mind. She was dressed like she would be if Master Cyclonis had given her an assignment.
"No! We made a promise!" Adrianna said as she tried to fight back. Adrianna looked like the Sky Knight that she was supposed to be.
"What promise? A promise to protect a little brother who is now old enough to protect himself," Lilith sneered.
"He's our little brother, we're supposed to protect him," Adrianna tried to reason as she tried move her frozen hand away from Aerrow's neck.
"No, I will not let you throw away this chance. This one chance to prove ourselves to Master Cyclonis," Lilith roared as she tried to inch the sword closer to Aerrow's neck. But she couldn't move it either.
Inside their shared mind, both voices looked around to find out who had control over their body.
"What are you doing?" Lilith demanded as she found the third member that made up the combine subconscious.
"Please," Adrianna begged.
This part, the third part that stood conflicted, kept flickering back and forth between the two options. She had control over the body. While Lilith and Adrianna fought for control over the mind, she held complete control over the body and she would not allow anything to happen until she could be swayed one way or the other.
"Please, we are supposed to protect him. He's our brother, all the family we have left," Adrianna cried as she was afraid of what her other parts would do to her little brother.
"Brother" Lilith scoffed as she stood in front of Adrianna. "We left him because he was weak and we didn't need him."
"That's a lie and you know it!" Adrianna screamed. "We left because we weren't strong enough to protect him! We left so that way Aerrow would be safe from the harm that we would bring. Not because he was weak!"
The third part switched to what Adrianna looked like and held that look. "Let me ask you this, what will become of Dark Ace? You claim to love him?"
"Yes, think of Dark Ace," Lilith said desperately.
"I love him, or at least I think I do. But that relationship was based on a lie, a lie stating that I have been a Talon for years," Adrianna said as she made up her mind. She could not love someone that way, the way in which their relationship had started.
"Very well," the third part stated as she relinquished control back to Adrianna.
"You need my power! You need me!" Lilith shouted. She was not going to just hand over control to Adrianna.
"No, I don't need you," Adrianna said as she lowered her sword away from Aerrow's neck. "I'm a Sky Knight, and I have my brother."
"No! This isn't over!" Lilith screamed as she faded into the back of Adrianna's mind.
"But for now it is," Adrianna said out loud as she took a step away from Aerrow.
"Cyclonia, help, bad news!" Finn shouted triumphantly.
"No!" Master Cyclonis yelled angrily.
"Time to go," Piper said as she landed down beside the other Storm Hawks.
"Follow me," Adrianna ordered as she cut through arena cage and the cage that held the rest of the Storm Hawks.
"What just happened?" Junko asked as he looked around dazed and confused.
"We'll tell you later," Aerrow promised as he ran after his sister.
I used bold and italic so that way you would know who for sure was talking. When I get excited I sometimes don't read who is speaking. But I hope you enjoyed.
