Thomas had woken up to the sounds of booming thunder. By the Atmos, did it EVER stop raining here? He took a few steps and the stopped, feeling the hair on the back of his neck stand up. He turned around, only to look into a pair of reptilian eyes. He opened his mouth to scream, but a scaly hand cut it off. "C'mon, do you REALLY want to wake everybody up?" Spike hissed. Thomas relaxed, and shook his head, letting Spike release his hand. Spike motioned for Thomas to follow, and walked towards one of the rooms in the small hovel, picking his way around the sleeping figures of the legendary squad. Thomas followed Spike almost blindly, until a small red glow lit up the room closest to them. Spike walked in, to sit at the head of a small table, embossed with both the Atmosian and Cyclonian symbols in the center. Trayos was sitting next to him, finishing up what appeared to be the remains of a Sky Shark. This was all dimly illuminated by one of Trayos' sabers lying before him. Thomas reflexively gagged, prompting looks from both of the people at the table. Spike motioned for Thomas to sit down, and Trayos picked up in narrative of the squads adventures.
"Shortly after we met the Storm Hawks, we had to go fight Cyclonia on a number of fronts, but that soon grew tedious. We appealed to the council, and they sent us on our first real assignment: Investigating rumors of a second Cloning crystal. We traveled to a Terra which still harbored many of the Ancients secrets, including the Cloning crystals origins. It harbored a single structure, one of a giant pyramid which was hewn from stone of an unknown strength. Researchers had long since given up on finding a way in. Cyclonia was the first, as seen by the massive tunnel entrance. Amelia landed our 'borrowed' Cyclonian cruiser in front of the entrance, which was a problem in its own. There were no guards, no Cyclonians. It was deserted. We all filed out of the cruiser, with the exception of Rhia who stayed behind, to keep watch. But deep down, we knew that the only way in…was underneath. We found out where all the Talons had gone as soon as we entered the tunnel network. The first was knocked out by a blow to the head from Shadow, and then Tyrannis lumbered in. They didn't stick around much after that. We scrambled through the tunnel networks, until we finally arrived at the exit. What we saw there was both Snipe and the mysterious girl, who called herself Wryn. They were standing around a Cloning crystal, or so we thought…"
Trayos broke off, evidently recalling the moment. Spike sighed and picked up the story
"Wryn turned around as we entered, and shouted something to the Talons nearby. She then turned back to the crystal, and rotated it one full time. Suddenly, the room was spinning, and we were unable to see anything at all! When we could finally stand, Rhia's voice crackled over the comlink. "Guys? I think I just found the crystal."
"Yeah, we see it!" Greison replied, peering at the crystal in the room. "No you don't…the Monolith you're all in…IS the crystal! Get out here now!" the comlink buzzed, before emitting a crackle and turning off. Trayos here was the first to start running, but ran into himself. Now, I mean this quite literally, as a copy squad had materialized directly across from us. Both Trayos's screamed, and then hit each other, than peered at each other in suspicion. I can only imagine the rest of us were doing the same."
"You were." Everybody in the room turned around, to see Koya standing in the doorway, still looking tired. "You guys can never let people sleep, can you?" She sighed, and motioned for Spike to continue.
"Well, in any event, the Cyclonians were doing just the same. They got over it faster then we did, and charged both of our squads. A Snipe ran in first, swinging his mace, until he was felled by Authenti's powerful punch. She was too late to dodge the copy behind her, and was knocked down by the mace. Me, Koya, and Tyrannis lunged at the main group of Talons, now doubled in size. The rest of us lunged for both Wryns, who were fighting back to back in the center of the chamber. This went on for a short while, with each side holding its own. Then, the stone above us shattered as two identical Cyclonian cruisers smashed into the room, which prompted both sides to look up. Our suspicions were answered when they began firing on the Cyclonians. Rhia's voice once again crackled over the comlink, with a "Look, I found a new friend…myself!" The Cyclonians scattered to avoid the Cruisers, except for both Wryn's, who ran to the dais in the center and began spinning it. The entire room began to turn, with all the forces multiplying again and again. When the pyramid stopped, there were easily five thousand talons in the large chamber, who were no longer daunted by the Cruisers overhead. I think the rest of this story is for Trayos to tell."
Spike motioned to the silent boy, who looked up at the sound of his name. "Trayos, would you tell Thomas about what finally happened?" Spike asked.
Trayos nodded, and with a small pause, began.
"Well, at this point everything was swiftly going downhill. Everybody was running around, and yelling at the top of their lungs. I had been fighting next to the original copy of myself, and after several minutes of this madness he turned to me and said "Good bye, friend." He then ran towards the central dais, and with one swipe, cut it in two. There was a blinding flash of light, and nobody could see for a few minutes. When we could see, all of the copies, as well as the pyramid itself, were gone. After that both sides left the Terra without fighting or even a word to each other. The whole experience was very unsettling. I did come back though, and built my home on that lone Terra, with the idea that something might occur there. Something did but that is a tale for another day."
Thomas blinked as Trayos finished the tale, before standing up and walking towards one of the shuttered windows. Cracks of light came from underneath the shutters, which Thomas then opened. He walked out through the main room, to see the rest of the group rousing themselves. He politely bid his farewells, before walking out to where his Skimmer was parked. He rode off, not noticing the glimmer in the sand, a glimmer like the point of a pyramid.
