Finn shut down the bar. He wore a simple outfit; nothing classy like his suit and the blonde packed some things. Piper stood there for a whole hour while the blonde picked out a few clothes and maybe some weapons, then he had to re-pack because he had forgotten something.

He was turning into a girl.

"Okay I'm done!"

"'Bout time Finn! No let's hurry because otherwise we'll miss the next passenger ship…"

"Piper… we don't need a passenger ship, I have this…"

With that Finn pressed a button revealing a sparkly skimmer 411. It was similar to the one he had before, just with more speed and stronger armour.

"Wow, it's beautiful…"

"I know… I call him Aerrow. The red and blue paint reminds me of him and he rides as smooth as Aerrow would."

"You really miss him don't you?"

"DUH! He was my best- no, still IS my best friend piper…"

The two stood in silence, both thinking about the redheaded skyknight.

"Well, are we going or what?"

"Sure!"

Finn sat on first, while Piper sat behind him, wrapping her arms around his waist. He revved the engine and flew out racing along the streets for a bit before hopping onto the sand and pulling up the wings. They were airborne now.

"Finn!"

"What?"

"Where are we going?"

"Oh… I don't know, who should we get next?"

"Stork? He's bound to come if you're here…"

"Sure… Terra Merb, here we come!"

The two flew off into the sunset, zooming through the clouds and shielding their eyes from the light. Unaware of the buzzing activity going on in the dark depths of Cyclonia.

CYCLONIA

"Master Cyclonis, you wanted to speak to me?"

"Ah, Dark Ace… you have been loyal to me all these years, and I have one more job for you before your time as a Sky Knight ends."

"Ends? What are you talking about?"

"I see everything Ace, I know what will happen, your Sky Knight days will end Ace. Now listen to me…"

"…Y-Yes Master Cyclonis…"

Her deep purple eyes focused on the man kneeling before her. The corners of her mouth lifted as she spoke.

"You know the disappearance of the Storm Hawks has left us with an opportunity we cannot refuse. I want you to find the Sky Knight Aerrow and bring him to me. By all means necessary"

"Permission to use extreme force?"

"I said all means necessary Ace…"

"O-Of course…"

The raven turned around and walked out of her throne room. He allowed his footing to take control and plastered a stern look on his face as he became deep in thought.

Nobody has heard of Aerrow in two years. How am I meant to find him? I guess I'll have to find his friends and go from there. Eugh, this type of thing should be left to pathetic talons, not a supreme knight like me. I should be saved for fights and killing that little brat.

Dark Ace walked through the corridors mumbling to himself, the stern look scared any talon that dared step in his path.

FINN & PIPER

The two had been flying for a while now.

"Piper, I need to re-fuel, so we have to stop at the next Terra"

"Sure…"

Another hour had passed before another Terra had even come into view and the Skimmer 411 was beginning to sink.

"Piper?"

"What?"

"Can you see a Terra because I have less than quarter of a tank left?"

"Oh God… I think that's one, just to your left…"

"Thank goodness"

Finn landed on the Terra and was thankful that he was able to put fuel into the skimmer and Piper went off to look around.

She walked through a small town street, which held a market. She spotted a beautiful necklace that was perfect for Stork. It was a green stone with two silver balls wither side of it on a black string. She bought it with the little money she had and carried on exploring.

"Piper!"

"Finn… hey, you won't believe what I bought for Stork, it's perfect look I-"

"Piper listen to me, I was walking along when I heard two old women talking about the Storm Hawks, in other words us, not the originals. Anyway, they were saying how terrible it was that 'kids our age' were put through so much pain and the Sky Knight was last seen battling the Dark Ace over the wastelands and was shot down!"

"No way!"

"Yes way!"

"But he can't be…"

"Look, I'm sure he's fine, like you said he could be talking to all of us…"

"Yeah… Well. Lets get going…"

The two walked back to the skimmer and headed off back into the sky. Piper worried about Aerrow, ever since they lost contact rumours were going round… bad rumours.

One was about Aerrow committing suicide; another about him trying to take Cyclonia on by himself and the third was that him and the Dark Ace fought… obviously ending with the death of Aerrow … again.

Why does everyone think Aerrow is dead?

It was true, the redhead was known all over Atmos, and with a disappearance like that, death was the only option. Piper was thankful that nobody ever found him dead, that way he was always still alive… at least to her.

The two were flying again, and Piper had almost fallen asleep, resting on Finns back when the radio started screeching. Loudly.

"Sorry, it always does this… it picks up local radio interference... it can get REALLY annoying…"

The two tried to ignore the sounds and screeching vibrations the radio made, until they herd this.

"Today's weather… And Fire-Skid is in the lead by… So, how do you think the molecular structure of atoms… Master Cyclonis, Terra Atmosia is in sight and all vehicles are charged. Excellent, begin the attack… Sunny and bright all day…"

"Did you hear what I heard?"

"I-I think so…"

"We should stop them you know…"

"We can't do this alone…"

"…Yeah…"

The two sat in silence for the rest of the journey, Piper's hair swayed in the wind majestically and suddenly Finn made a dash for a remote jungle Terra, pulling the wings in he stop the skimmer and placed his hand over Pipers mouth.

Finn used the other hand to point up at the sky. Talons.

But Atmosia was miles away. In the other direction, these guys were heading in the same direction as Finn and Piper. To Terra Merb!

"D'ya think they're after Stork?"

Piper Said after Finn took his hand away from her face. Not only allowing her to talk, but breath as well. Finn had a surprisingly strong grip.

"I guess so, what do you think they're after him for?"

"I don't know but we'd better get there quick in case they're there for trouble!"

The two rushed back on the skimmer 411 and burst off into the blue, grey sky and followed the Talons… secretively.
