000 x 000
Finn and Piper kept under the clouds, keeping their location and identities safe. Finn drove and Piper kept an eye on the Talons, she counted them mentally, and making a note on the formation and the weapons they were carrying. As her golden eyes narrowed the leader of the group didn't have a staff like the others, he had a… sword?
Oh no… that's the…"Dark Ace… Finn! We have to get out of here, that the Dark Ace!"
"What? Why is he here?"
"I don't know but we can never defeat him, only Aer-… Only he could"
"You're right, but we need to get to Terra Merb to warn the innocent living there"
"Good job I brought this then…"
Piper dove into the small rucksack she carried and her slender fingers gripped a hold of a light blue crystal, as it caught Finns eyes they both smirked.
"…Turbo crystal…"
They spoke in unison. And as the small but powerful crystal was dropped into the small hole in the skimmer (don't know what it's called… help?) they darted off through the clouds at a break-neck speed, whizzing through clouds so fast they were just blurs.
Just as the crystal lost its juice, Terra Merb came into their sight. Finn put the skimmer into full throttle and swung onto the grass to land. Many of the locals stared in awe and interest.
Piper got off as soon as she could, running to a small hill and hoping he still lived in the small (but strangely spacious) house on an isolated hilltop. Her legs ran as fast as possible and the muscles felt as if they were on fire, but she wouldn't stop running, she couldn't stop… not while he's in danger.
As she saw the small house her heart began to pump adrenaline around her body, making her slightly nauseas, her and Stork were good friends, but when the team split up he ignored her completely… she never knew why.
She almost smashed into the door because she found it difficult to stop, but luckily nothing was broken and as she regained control of the swirling world around her the door began to squeak open.
Finn came running up behind her and as he caught his breath, looked up at Piper and saw her staring at something. His sapphire eyes followed the line of her golden ones and saw a tall, muscular Merb stood there.
"S-Stork?"
"Piper? Finn?"
"Woah, Dude you've changed so much!"
"Y-You're… tall"
"Yeah, well I've grown in two years…"
"Right, Right…"
"… Stork, we need to talk…"
"About?"
"There are Talons heading straight for you."
"Talons?"
"Yup, we saw them about five miles away."
"FIVE MILES?"
"We have to hurry and get you out of here…"
"Right…"
"Problem."
"What?"
"The Skimmer 411 can't hold three people."
"Ah…"
Just then, dozens of screams were heard coming from the town centre. The three panicked and Cyclonion skimmers were seen in the distance.
"Problem."
"Ah…"
It took a while, but eventually Piper screamed.
"RUN!"
The four sprinted into a nearby forest, hoping the dense forestry would camouflage them and keep them out of Cyclonion sights. When they found a small crevice, barely big enough for the three of them. But it would have to do.
Silence. An uncomfortable, eerie silence, the kind that makes you sweat, panic and feel nauseas. That silence.
Without a word, all was said; 'we're going to make it' it was written in their eyes, in the blue, the gold and the black. The screams from the town scorched through the air like a phoenix, the sheer horror and terror caused by the Talons shook the Terra and they heard it all, down to the last tear drop hitting the stone cold ground.
Piper's hand touched the crystal necklace she had worn in her Storm hawks days, her tender fingertips caressed it, toying with it and moving it around. She often did this in tense situations.
It was Finn who noticed the blue light, the two blue lights to be precise. Streaks of energy headed straight for the flock of Cyclonions spinning wildly when a third blue light came into the blonde's view. A sword? As the skimmer flew through the middle of the flock, nothing seemed to happen, as the skimmer stopped spinning and exited the group of red and gold pilots, every single one of them exploded with a light show.
Finn was amazed whoever this guy was they had skill. They had immense moves and a powerful sword. They swooped sown and up as gracefully as a hawk, they could smash, crash and destroy as powerfully as a storm and he seemed to be a good guy.
Phew.
"Can you guys see that dude up there?"
"…I've been watching him…"
"Me too."
"He's incredible."
"His moves remind me of Aer-… Sorry."
"S'kay…"
"Speaking, or half speaking, of Aerrow, I swear i saw him the other day, whilst I was walking through the weekly market."
"That's so weird, 'cause I thought I saw him and Finn said he saw him, maybe Aerrow's trying to communicate with us."
"Why the secrets?"
"Why the mask?"
"… Maybe he's on the run, or escaping the Cyclonions."
Once again, the three silenced. Not a word, not a breath.
CRASH
The three peeked out of the small crevice and looked up at the sky. Gold, blue and black eyes widened in pure shock as the Dark Ace and the other Talons retreated.
"No way…"
"Did he just…"
"Defeat them all?"
Once all Cyclonions were out of sight, and nothing more than small specks in the vast blue sky, the three clambered out and made their way back into town. It seems the mystery rider was paying Terra Merb a little visit, and was surrounded by thousands of thankful Merb's, all wanting to shake his hand, congratulate him and thank him.
"I need no thanks and want no congratulations…"
"Well sir…"
The Mayor of Terra Merb spoke.
"What can we call you?"
"…Crimson Rider…"
Omg, short chapter! I'm SO Sorry.
But there we go! Chapter 4 is up, Stork Is found and 'Crimson Rider' Saved Terra Merb.
