Chapter 17: Surprise, Surprise, and Room for a Sequel
Master Cyclonis had, grudgingly, allowed Dark Ace to remain free.
Actually, "grudgingly" is a bit of an understatement.
More like "threw fifty temper tantrums and hit him with her crystal staff over the head" ingly.
Later, rubbing the sore spot on his cranium, Dark Ace returned to his room, still chuckling. A package was resting on his bed, the blue insignia of the Storm Hawks gracing the paper. He peeled the wrapping back to find a nice little souvenir.
A bra, with pink hearts against a purple background. A little note was attached.
This is the baby that fired the first shot. Hope you enjoy. Maybe it'll give you something to dangle over her, should she ever threaten you again. Signed, the Storm Hawks.
Dark Ace grinned.
Life in the palace was about to get a whole lot better.
