Hey back again and I apologize to you all for not updating sooner but I have been really busy. Okay enjoy! Oh and I am super excited for Christmas too!
The Dark Ace stared up at the red head in front of him. This time he didn't plan on trying to kill Aerrow. Proceeding with his usual battle style, the Dark Ace leapt up onto the front of his skimmer and withdrew his blade and Aerrow did the same. They started to clash and slash each other with their blades and little red, blue and purple sparks flew about. To Aerrow's surprise, the Dark Ace didn't seem to be trying to defeat him, "What's the matter Dark Ace? Christmas made you soft?" Aerrow questioned with a snigger. The Dark Ace snarled, "Don't mention that to me and shut your mouth!" he shouted which stunned Aerrow. The Dark Ace had distracted him so as quick as lightning; the Dark Ace swiped his sword at the engine on Aerrow's skimmer. Aerrow toppled back into his seat and Radarr squeaked in alarm.
Aerrow tried to keep his skimmer up but it was no use. His skimmer plummeted from the skies and it headed right towards the Condor and Aerrow almost punched himself for not putting on his glider. Man, Christmas really makes you forget things!
He couldn't think about that now, Radarr was terrified and Aerrow realized if he crashed then Radarr had a good chance of being killed as well as himself but he cared about Radarr more. Thinking quickly, he gave Radarr a shove with caused him to fall of his seat and he then deployed his parachute. Radarr let out a shriek of alarm as he knew that Aerrow had done that on purpose. Radarr's shriek caused the rest of the Storm Hawks to see their leader plummeting towards the metal roof of the Condor. "Aerrow!" Piper shrieked in horror. He could be killed! Oh any time but now, not on Christmas!
It was too late to now. Aerrow's skimmer collided with the roof but Aerrow had just enough time to jump off his skimmer but that didn't prevent him from smacking his head on the hard metal. Aerrow felt a surge of pain enter his skull as he lay down on the roof of the Condor but his skimmer had fallen into the Wastelands. Piper saw that Aerrow needed her help and she saw the Dark Ace looking at him too and he shot her a glare. Piper's eyes widened as she figured out what he was going to do she screamed at the top of her lungs, causing Finn and Junko to cry out in terror because they were all too late to move. Aerrow could barely see what was going around him because he felt so dizzy and all he could do was pass out cold on the roof. The Dark Ace leaned over the side of his skimmer as he flew towards the unconscious teen and grabbed him by the wrist. Aerrow was pulled up off the roof and the Dark Ace now had his right arm around his waist and levelling his skimmer out with his free hand.
The Storm Hawks immediately raced after him, in fear of losing their friend. To Piper's surprise, she realized that the Dark Ace wasn't heading for Cyclonia but in the opposite direction. What was he up to? "Where do you think you're going?" Finn shouted, "Give us back our friend!" Junko yelled angrily. The Dark Ace didn't answer but quickly letting go of his skimmer; he pulled a Smoke Screen crystal from his pocket and threw it at the remaining Hawks. He quickly took hold of the skimmer and sped ahead. The crystal exploded in front of the Hawks and they slid to a halt whilst covering and coughing. "Aerrow!" Piper spluttered swiping at the air to clear the smoke in front of her but when it cleared, Aerrow and the Dark Ace were gone.
Piper's heart fell apart; he was gone and on such an important day too. She looked at Finn and Junko and Radarr who had been caught by Finn. "Where did he go?" Finn asked, "More importantly, how are we going to find him?" Junko asked.
"Let's just get back to the Condor and we'll find a way" Piper said and they all flew back with heavy hearts. Piper just prayed that they would find him safe and well before the day was up.
The first thing Aerrow felt when he awoke was that it was surprisingly warm. Aerrow opened his eyes to find himself in a dark room with a beam of light over him. He looked up and shielded his eyes to see a Solaris crystal hung on the ceiling above him. He looked around to find himself in what looked like a small wooden hut with some pictures hung up on the walls which he couldn't see. Aerrow raised a hand to his head and winced when he felt a huge bump there. "Where am I?" Aerrow asked out aloud groggily.
"Finally awake I see" a voice said. Aerrow's head shot up to see a pair of crimson eyes that he knew so well. "Dark Ace" Aerrow spat, "Nice to see you too" the Dark Ace replied smugly. Aerrow felt like leaping up and attacking him but he realized that he didn't have his blades where they should be. So all he said was, "What do you want with me and why did you bring me here?" The Dark Ace then raised a red and orange crystal which Aerrow recognized as a Lighter crystal.
The Talon then aimed it at something and then a little flame appeared for the candle he had just lit. Instantly a dozen of other candles lit around the pair and now Aerrow could see fully around the room. The room now glowed a soft orange light that almost comforted him. He saw the Dark Ace sitting on a chair but to his surprise, he wasn't in his Talon uniform. He wore a white shirt with a leather jacket and black jeans with matching black boots. His sword rested on a table next to him as did Aerrow's blades.
The Dark Ace seemed surprised, "You don't recognize this place?" he asked curiously and Aerrow shook his head, "Should I?" Aerrow asked. If this was some kind of twisted game then Aerrow wanted no part of it. The Dark Ace sighed, "You were only young at the time" he said which caused Aerrow to frown. "Okay give me a straight answer will you? Where are we?" the sky knight questioned. "This was your home" the Talon replied which caused Aerrow to freeze. "My….home?" Aerrow repeated slowly and the Dark Ace nodded. "Yes, you lived here with your mother, Lightning Strike and your mother Aurora" he told him, "You were a lovely family" he added. Aerrow slowly got to his feet, "Why are you telling me this Dark Ace?" Aerrow asked but the Dark Ace raised his hand. "Don't call me that anymore. Call me by my real name; Ace" he begged.
Aerrow raised an eyebrow; was he going soft or something? "Why are you telling me this…Ace?" Aerrow asked and Ace gestured to the seat next to him, "If you want to know then you might want to sit down" he replied.
