A huge thank you to everyone who reviewed. It makes me want to write more when I see that people actually enjoy what I'm writing. Anna-Aurion 224 I think that is super scary that we were both thinking along the same lines. I would love to read your story and I hope you enjoy reading my version. Guppy Girl2021 thanks for the review and I hope to put in quite a few plot twists revolving around Storm's entrance. Cai-nikz thanks for your support and I hope you continue to read my story. Thanks everyone! This next chapter is mainly going to focus on Storm's character and her childhood. It is fourteen years since she was taken to Derris Kharlan and as far as the game's time line the party is probably be somewhere between destroying the Palmacosta Human Ranch and entering Asgard. I figured everything would be the same in the party up to that point and Storm would alter the story from there. Also, anything italicized is either a flashback or a thought that Storm is having. Hope you enjoy Chapter 2!

Disclaimer: Once again I don't own anything TOS.

Chapter 2: Storm 14 years later

It was a normal day in Cruxis. Storm was on a routine patrol through Derris-Kharlan to make sure that all of Lord Yggdrassil's plans were working smoothly. She had done this particular job of hers since she was thirteen, three years ago. She couldn't believe how fast time flies. Lord Kratos would never agree with her on that statement.

As she walked up and down the white corridors past the groups of lifeless angels that stood before her she thought back to when she was just a child.

She sprinted down the hallway almost to the end when suddenly a blonde boy flew past her, literally. As he turned around the young boy transformed into a tall man.

"That's not fair Uncle Mithos you have wings and I don't. Rematch! That was just a practice run," Storm laughed

"No way squirt I won fair and square now go and tell Pronyma to get over to my quarters now for her mission. Tell her to be quick about it or else!" Mithos told Storm as she flew around the corner.

It was always Storm's job to boss around the angels and half-elves for her Uncle Mithos. He wasn't her real uncle but he helped raise her and cared for her enough that he felt like one. She was always happy to make him happy.

As she ran around a corner she was caught mid-stride by her father. His strong, comforting arms scooped her up into a big bear hug as he picked her off the ground.

"And just where are you going, young lady? We have sword lessons. You will not become a strong fighter if you don't learn how to fight with a sword soon," Kratos said in his most fatherly sounding voice.

"I just have to tell Pronyma somethin' form Uncle Mithos then I'll be back I swear," Storm said as she struggled against her father's grip.

"Okay but hurry up or we'll be really far behind in today's lesson," Kratos replied as he dropped his daughter.

Life was happy and carefree for Storm in those days, back when she could have fun.

"Lady Aurion, Lord Yggdrassil would like to speak with you in his quarters. He has an important mission for you," a monotonous sounding angel said to Storm.

"Thank you, I will be with him shortly," Storm relied as she turned back towards Mithos' castle.

Things all changed for Storm when she turnedeight and began to learn how to command Angels and learned how to fight against multiple opponents, putting her father's lessons to the test. Pronyma was her instructor, and a harsh one at that. Storm began to learn that her emotions were things that only got in the way and that they should be buried and ignored completely. If she showed too much spirit and emotion, or if she was fighting weakly she would get a beating from her teacher.

Before long, Strom was a pro at fighting and Yggdrassil decided that she should be tested. This would be no easy test. If she failed she would die. It was a tough fight for Storm and for her father. Kratos could only watch from the sidelines as his daughter was repetitively beaten and slashed by hoards of angels. After a lot of fighting, Storm finally collapsed of exhaustion.

"This is it," she thought, "I'm gonna die a failure."

Suddenly she thought of everyone who was counting on her: her father, Mithos, and her mother in heaven. She couldn't let them down, she just couldn't. The emotions she felt for her loved ones grew so strong in her heart she could barely hold them in. She felt as if her chest would burst when suddenly she felt a surge of energy flow through her body, restoring her strength. She also felt a strange tingling feeling on her back: angel wings.

Everyone in the audience was amazed how could this young girl who had no Cruxis Crystal suddenly sprouted wings? Storm didn't care though, she was ready to finish the fight.

After her fight, Mithos came down to Storm with news.

"Storm, after seeing your powers I have decided to take you on as my apprentice. You will not be staying with your father anymore. You will be working with me only. We'll strengthen your powers to their full potential," Yggdrassil told Storm.

So, for the next four years, Storm trained with Yggdrassil only. She received little to no contact with her father and everyday Storm became more and more like a lifeless being herself as Yggdrassil had her bury her emotions. She soon learned how to use her angelic powers and even mastered elf magic although she had no elven blood in her. She became more powerful with each passing day. She became disconnected to her father and even began to refer to him as Lord Kratos herself. She was becoming an angel.

Storm entered Lord Yggdrassil's quarters and walked over to him in order to receive her mission. As she approached, Yggdrassil turned around and smiled at his favorite student.

"Storm, I have decided to send you on an important mission. I need you to go down to Sylverant and help guide the Chosen's group," Mithos said to Storm.

"But Lord Yggrdrassil, isn't Lord Kratos already assigned to the task? Why would you need me too?" Storm questioned.

"Yes, it is true that your father is aiding them, but I believe that he may be leaking information to them and we need you to keep tabs on him. You know how important the Chosen's success is. We cannot have anything go wrong if we are to revive Martel. Now, go down to Sylverant but do not identify who you are working for. Do not fail me Storm!" Mithos ordered.

"You won't be disappointed...my lord..." Storm replied as she bowed to her teacher.

Well that's the end of this chapter. Next I will have Storm joined the party and we'll find out how she relates with Kratos at this point in time. Like I said before the group will be close to the Asgard ranch. Please review.
