Zaye paced around the Terra 5 hangar. His face was fixed in a worried stare. He occasionally sighed.

"Aura….. Where are you?"

"WHOOOOO!!!!!!" Aura sang out. He seemed like a shooting star playfully flying through the vast dark space. His golden hair streamed behind him as he flew with his arms stretched outwards as if embracing the emptiness. He loved the feeling of being free.

Aura smiled as he closed in on his location. He could see the multiple hangars stationed on the planet, but he knew where to go. He flew to the northernmost area of Terra 5 known as Aezer.

Next, he broke through the planet's atmosphere with nary an injury. His golden hue suddenly turned red. His body was careening towards the ground, but he simply smiled wider. He thrust his hands towards the ground. He started to decelerate rapidly and the heat around him dissipated. He was now fifty feet away from the ground. He descended slowly to the ground below and was just outside the hangar.

Zaye had now taken to humming to ease his racing thoughts.

'What if someone found him…? What if remnants from the Venom army attacked him?'

Zaye suddenly felt a familiar presence. He turned around.

"Aura! You're okay!" Zaye said placing his hand on his forehead. "Where have you been?!"

Aura sauntered over to Zaye.

"Nowhere, really. Just to Venom… I had to see if he was really gone…"

"Who?… Andross? " Zaye asked frowning. "I'm sure he's not alive anymore… We have many people to thank for that."

"Yeah…." Aura agreed.

"But Aura, I don't want you to go off on your own like that. There are still several of them remaining… You're the only one who saved me from the lab…" Zaye frowned.

"It's not your fault, you dork!" Aura said poking Zaye in his stomach. Zaye smiled in retaliation. "It was completely his fault for messing with your head! And you know what? If anyone blames you for it I'll smack them!"

He put his hands on his hips and looked defiant. Zaye laughed.

"You always know what to say, don't you? Thanks." Zaye suddenly realized that he got far off track… "So…. I take it that you didn't encounter any trouble after all?"

"Well…. I think I let my curiosity get the better of me…"

Aura turned away trying not to think of the look on Wolf's face.

"What? What do you mean?"

"Well… I kind of … found where the Star Wolf pilots resided and…"

"No, no, no!!!!" Zaye said face palming. "Did you analyze his Wolfen? Please tell me you didn't…."

"Heh…"

Zaye blushed slightly partially from anger but more so because of how Aura was giving him puppy-dog eyes.

"If I told you how much I learned would you be a little less mad at me?"

"Ugh… you're impossible, Aura… Well at least you didn't get caught…"

Aura chuckled and scratched the back of his neck.

"Well…."

"Oh come on!!!!" Zaye face palmed again. "But then… how?"

"I got to actually see him! Ha! He tried to capture me but I escaped through an airlock. I blew him a kiss goodbye and well… here I am! Cool right? I wish I would have gotten his autograph though…"

Zaye couldn't really get mad at the last comment…

"You're such a show off… but you're MY show off." Zaye said hugging him playfully. "But still, don't go off like that again!"

"Okaaaay…" Aura said hugging him back. "But YOU shouldn't be out either… your still sick… I can see it in your eyes…"

"I'm fine… really. I just hope that Wolf doesn't come to get you."

"Heh! That would be flattering."

Zaye sighed… "Your hopeless…"

"But I can still do this…"

Aura stood in a ship dock. He outstretched his arms and began to glow. His body started to transform slowly. Zaye smiled as he always did when Aura did this. …. A white six-winged ship appeared where Aura stood.

"Again…. Show off!"

"Just get in here!"

"Fine!"

Zaye climbed into the cockpit which had a lot more space than a usual craft. He sat down and the inside of the ship hummed to life. Two white orbs appear on either side of Zaye. He held his hands before them and the ships engines turned on. It's winged spread out and it shot out of the hangar like a bullet. In almost no time at all Zaye was cruising in the vast darkness of space. He smiled and reclined enjoying the ambience.

"At least it's peaceful for now…" Zaye said, closing his eyes.

"Hello….??? Well, what do we have here?" Wolf said in a low growl.

"Heh. Maybe our little friend is in there." Leon snickered.

"Hmm… Such a shame. A truly beautiful ship." thought aloud.

"Bah! Who cares?! Shoot it down!" barked Wolf.

The trio had followed their enigmatic guest. The lupine snickered at the thought of blasting the pestilent boy…

There is about to be one HECK of a dogfight! I'll be sure to update soon! Please R&R and Thanks in advance! ^_^
