7 Treasure of Luna
- Time for Scare
It was quiet night like any other day. But he could feel something was different; his body tensed as he felt the damp air coiling around his body. The Dark Ace always knew before something bad would happen; it was something he didn't understand, but he had to live with guilt – that he couldn't stop it even though he knew it ahead of others. This time he didn't want that opportunity to slip away from his hand; he quietly got out of bed and prepared himself for a worst-case scenario; Storm hawks fail and Master Cyclonis gets what she wants: Lunar Crystal. That could be their end. Total destruction.

Somehow, Elva felt nervous or rather concerned the fact that it was too quiet. This night was a bit different from the other nights. Yes, she could sense it from around her. Quickly, she got out of her bed and walked out to the main hall of condor to get some air to ease her tensions in her body.

"Ace?"
The dark ace's eyes got widened. For a second, the moon light seemed to fool him. She was Elizabeth. Her voice, scent, and eyes reminded him of his dear Elizabeth who always supported him through everything. Everything was vivid now, because of her, Elva.
"Go away, kid"
She winced as his harsh remark came out of him, but she was determined to find out why he lost himself earlier. Maybe this was the right time to find out; since she knew that her past was in some way related to him as well. She had to.
"If you tell me why"
"You – you have to be stubborn like Eileen, huh? I hate repeating things, so I will say once. Leave me alone!"
She didn't back off, rather she stepped in getting closer to him.
"If you tell me why "
"FINE. You just have to be like that. Like your mom. I will tell you why, but don't even think about asking any questions. Understood?"
She nodded in satisfaction.
"Your mother was one of the best sword fighters among all the sky knights. Your father, Keith also was the best of the best navigator and skimmer rider in the Atmos... Eileen had an older twin sister whom I was in love with, Elizabeth And you happened to look really like Elizabeth..."
He didn't say anything else. Although it wasn't detailed, she knew that he cherished all these memories..She figured that he didn't want to tell her anything more than this little story and she understood that it was too hard for him to mention any names. Well, after all it was him who caused the downfall of Original Storm hawks. She guessed that he still felt guilty about it.
.

"We are all doomed!"
Everyone woke up from their sleep when they heard Stork's usual death-theory alert. They prepared as fast as they could and went to the front of the condor only to find that they were too late.
Aerrow stopped breathing. Stork started to write his will. Finn stood there stunned. Piper stumbled. Both starling and the Dark Ace sighed. Elva stared in front of the condor.
What they saw was Master Cyclonis holding a Lunar Crystal in her hand. Laughing hysterically, Master Cyclonis grinned wickedly seeing Storm hawks devastated. She finally got her revenge on them. Every single time she was unable to continue her plan always because of stupid sky knight brats. But now she was the winner. Now she could kill them within a second.
She also could kill the Dark Ace – her once loyal servant who did everything to please her; seeing him with Storm hawks was funny sight rather.. Master Cyclonis knew better than just killing her servant and Storm Hawks. She always knew better than that. She knew how to make people suffer, especially Sky knights.
"I told you. At the end, I am the one who will destroy Storm hawks. You will never defeat me!!"
They had to let go her; there was no way to beat her since she had Lunar Crystal which later Starling told them that the crystal could do more than just transporting people to the earth. It could suck life out of people.
"Lunar Crystal can drain the energy of everything as far as I know. It is really dangerous crystal if it is used in a wrong hand. I am afraid that this time we failed..."
Aerrow protested.
"We didn't fail yet. Storm hawks never fail! Time for plan B, right Starling?"
.
Everyone looked at Starling and looked at Starling. She nodded slightly.
"Yes, I am guessing that Master Cyclonis is aware of this crystal's ability so she would take a trip back to the earth to seek resources that could afford to produce massive amount of crystals and also after taking all the resources, she would destroy the world unless she finds the planet useful."
"So we are going back to the earth, but how?"
"Piper, I will give you the recipe which would work just like Lunar Crystal but you see it's not stable. We need to take extra caution to create these transporting crystals."
"That won't be necessary. Let's get to work right now Starling."
"Aerrow, it is going to take two or three days. I would like no interruption."
Everyone nodded.
