Chapter five! This chapter is more so done for humor than anything else and you'll understand as you read. I'll probably put random humorous chapters to keep it light and entertaining so be prepared.

And again, Don't own the Storm Hawks

Chapter 5: Hit or Miss

The ceremony was long and drawn out. Each of the Storm Hawks had a long, unnecessary speech about whatever the hell they accomplished and embraced the roaring cheers that came at the end of them. The crowds were sucking up every word they said, completely eating up the exaggerated lies that the group gave them. Avior leaned against the wall, bored out of his mind. He didn't know how much longer he could stand this; it was complete torture. He yawned as Finn, the second one to speak, had finally finished and Piper started. There was no end to this, he thought.

Not a moment after he thought this, a loud blast was heard, deafening everything around them. There were screams and shouts coming from all over the place, putting a stop to the ceremony. Avior, glad that something stopped the ridiculously long ceremony, immediately looked to where it came from. He saw smoke coming from the other side of the terra, mostly likely from the main square.

As the Storm Hawks tried to calm everyone down and start up the ceremony again, Avior and his team ran to their skimmers, and began driving towards the rising smoke. As much as he was glad to have something better to do than listen to the unending speeches, he was uneasy. Whatever the blast was, it was certainly powerful. Whoever could do that also had to be just as powerful. He just hope that nothing bad was about to happen.

Aerrow was coughing and trying his best to clear out the smoke in front of him. He wanted to chase after the Dark Ace right away; he needed to know why he was here in the first place.

Finally, the smoke cleared and Aerrow had stopped coughing. There was a large crater in front of him were the Dark Ace had shot at. He barely registered this as he looked wildly around to see were the Dark Ace had gone. He saw him and his lieutenant at the very end of the street, turning to the left. He began to start running when he received a hard hit to his stomach.

Looking down, Aerrow saw that it was a little old lady with a cane that had stopped him. She was squinting hard up at him, inspecting him for some reason. Aerrow really hated to be rude, but said roughly, "Excuse me, madam, but I have to go."

"Hush," she said, hitting him over the head with her cane. She then reached up and pulled Aerrow closer to her by grabbing his ear.

Wincing by the force she used, Aerrow pleaded, "Is this really necessary? What are you doing?"

"Hmm, you could be him or maybe not. I can't really tell for sure."

"Sure of what?" Aerrow asked, still wincing as she held his ear.

Letting go of his ear, the woman grabbed his chin, forcing his head side to side as to get a better look at him. She put her face so close to his that they were basically brushing up against one another.

Finally, she let go, raising her hands in frustration. "I can't tell if you're really him. I mean I can't tell if you are him, or the other one is him! I'd gotten an autograph from the other one for my grandson, but if he wasn't the real one, then my grandson would be so sad. And if I got one from you and you weren't him, again he'd be sad…" she continued to ramble on and on as others from the crowd started to come have a closer look at Aerrow, curious.

Aerrow, having been finally released, quickly snuck away from the crowd before more people could distract him. He had lost view of the Dark Ace and was frantically looking through the crowds trying to find him. Realizing that it was pointless, an idea popped into his head. He saw a small alley to his right and used the walls to jump to the roof of the buildings. After a few seconds of looking around, he spotted the now cloaked Dark Ace racing towards the woods three blocks away.

Aerrow ran after him, jumping across rooftops as he went. Since he didn't have to shove his way through the crowds, he began to gain on the Dark Ace. He was only a block away from him when he sensed, rather than saw, a bullet of energy coming directly at him. He pulled back just in time to have the bullet pass right in front of his face. He looked down to see who had shot at him, seeing Gunner with his blaster aimed right at him.

"What are you doing?!" Aerrow yelled in frustration. At this point, the Dark Ace could easily escape.

Gunner smiled, "What does it look like I'm doing? I'm challenging you to a fight!"

Aerrow, irritated now, sighed, "I don't want to fight you, okay? I have other things to do."

Gunner laughed along with his teammates who were all drunk as he was. "You're pretty good, I'll admit. That fight was pretty impressive. I wonder though, are you the real Aerrow?"

"Okay, will someone please explain this real one thing to me? What in the name of Atmos are you people talking about?!" Aerrow exasperated, tired of hearing this with no explanation.

"Well, at this moment, there are two Aerrows of the Storm Hawks on this terra. One is at the awards ceremony with the rest of the Storm Hawks team and there is you, who just had an intense fight with the Dark Ace. I'm guessing that you're the real one, so that means you're my next target."

Aerrow, still completely confused by the situation, was thinking fast. He had to get rid of this guy quick before the Dark Ace got off the terra. Another idea popped into his head.

"Are you positive that I'm the real one? After all, we could have done that little fight just as a show."

"Don't give me that! I KNOW you are the real one."

"Really? Are you absolutely sure? I mean the other Aerrow has the entire team to back him up with proof. I just have me, myself, and I. How could I possibly be the real one?"

Gunner hesitated for a moment and looked down in thought. It was true, this one didn't have a team with him and from what he knew, and Aerrow was very close to his team. If he didn't have one, did that mean this one wasn't him? He looked back up to confirm his suspicions, "What the-" Aerrow wasn't there anymore, nor was he running down one of the roofs again. He had jumped down into the crowd and disappeared, chasing after the Dark Ace once again.

Gunner roared with anger as he realized what happen. He punched the wall beside him, putting a dent in it.

"He really outsmarted you, huh Boss?" joked one of his teammates. No sooner as he said that, the teammate had his boss' foot in his face, forcing him back down to the ground.

"Oh, shut up," he grumbled as he walked away. This guy, whoever he was, was getting on his last nerve.

Piper and Finn had walked back into town around two o'clock. They figured that the ceremony had finished by now and it was safe to walk around. They shocked, but not completely surprised that the ceremony was in fact still going on. Rolling their eyes at the scene, the two had headed down a different street, still searching for Aerrow.

It wasn't long after that they heard the blast. They had been only a few blocks from it, and the ground actually shook from whatever caused it. They looked quickly at one another, wondering what to do. It could be a Cyclonian attack or maybe one of the rogues. Either way, they had to do something. But that proved difficult as the streets were crowded and chaotic as people were both running towards and away from the blast.

As they continued to struggle, they were both nearly knocked over by a pair rushing away from the blast. They had heard a harsh, "Move it!" that sounded very familiar, but couldn't exactly place it. They had put it out of their minds and continued to struggle forward.

Again, someone rushing from the blast had ran into them. The man quickly rushed past them without helping them up, calling a quick "Sorry!" as he ran. They had only brief gotten a look at him, but saw enough to see it was a man with a black hat and no shirt. Still, confused, they kept going towards the blast, hoping to figure out the problem and maybe finding Aerrow.

So made it to chapter 5, hope you enjoyed the random comedy. Sorry if you didn't find it funny, so yeah. But a little sad that Piper and Finn didn't recognize Aerrow, or vice versa.

Please comment and tell me if there is anything you're confused on or think needs to be changed. Thanks!mmHm
