Sorry for the delay!!
But here I am!
3meraldprinc3ss: Hehe, I though that was a nice 'dangerous' touch.
Kosmic: Glad to hear it!
Unleash The Shadow: Aah! I updated ASAP! And thank you!
SakariWolfe: Well, here's the next chapter!
Duchess192: Hehe, That's because Radarr is smart, but nobody realises…
CinderpoolANDMoonfire: Hmm, I would do that… but 'Crimson Rider' is a good guy, Dark Ace isn't…
The Final Pairing Is… (Drum roll)
AERROW X PIPER
Like you couldn't guess…
Anyway, lets continue shall we?
Finn, Piper, Stork and Radarr all clambered onto the Skimmer and headed for the Terra Junko should be staying at.
Finding Him was a lot harder than they thought. The Terra was huge, and pretty much everyone looked really similar.
Finn tried to spot Junko in the mass of Wallops, with Radarr on his shoulder, attempting to sniff him out. The four had been searching for about an hour, no sign. Another hour passed with dread and Finn losing his patience, no sign.
"This is getting ridiculous…"
"I agree, maybe we should try asking around instead of going round in circles…"
Eventually, the three spilt up (Radarr staying on Finn's shoulder) and began asking local whether they knew of Junko. About 200 Wallops asked, how could no one know Junko?
"Oh yes, he's my nephew…"
"Oh My God Really?"
"Yes, why do you wish to see him may I ask?"
"We want to re-form the Storm hawks, and he's part of it!"
"My little Junko will be so pleased, he talks non stop about Piper, Finn, Stork and Radarr…"
"Doesn't he talk about Aerrow?"
"He used to, that is until a rumour spread across the whole Terra saying he committed suicide… Now, whenever the colour red, blue or green is mention his mood drops and I just can't get him to cheer up…"
"Well, I'm Piper, this is Finn, and this Is Stork… We want to get Junko back, may we?"
"Of course, no need to ask my dear…"
The four followed the (rather large) Wallop woman to a small terraced house deep in the heart of the Terra. The four had to half-run half-walk to keep up with her large, muscley legs. As she turned the handle into a small building in the heart of the Terra, she roared the word 'Junko' up the stairs.
A small voice replied 'yeah' and after explaining that 'friends' were here to see him, the wallop bounced down the stairs happily. Black, blue, hazel and sapphire eyes widened in pure shock as a very bulky wallop with tattoo's on his arms wearing a brown leather tank top style jacket with a plain black t-shirt underneath, khaki trousers and steel-toe-cap boots (black). Overall, Junko looked incredibly… what's the word…
Masculine.
The wallop saw the sight of the four and the biggest smile ever seen crept up onto his face. He bolted it down the rest of the stairs and grabbed the four in a neck-breaking squeeze of pure joy.
"Finn, Piper, Stork, Radarr… I'm SO happy to see you guys!"
"Us… too… wan-na… let… us… go?"
"Neck… breaking…doom…unavoidable…"
"Eh, sorry guys… I'm just so amazed you're here… why are you here?"
"Well, we are re-forming the storm Hawks, and we need you buddy"
Junko practically squealed with excitement and squeezed the life out of the four once more before looking at his auntie and waving goodbye. A quick peck on the cheek, uncovering the skimmer, stork getting on the back. And they were off!
Once they hit the sky the same question came apparent on all four lips.
Where now?
Junko suggested trying to find places to buy skimmers for cheap prices.
Piper suggested trying to locate Aerrow.
Finn suggested taking down Dark Ace as punishment for what he did to Aerrow.
Stork suggested going back to Pipers hometown to restore the condor.
Sounds like a plan.
So, first stop, trying to find a decent skimmer for Junko. As they looked around, their feet became tired. They must have checked dozens of suitable sellers, but none that were cheap enough. With a sigh all five slumped down against a boulder in the middle of a bright green field. Piper closed her eyes for a moment, enjoying the faint sounds of building work and people talking, the occasional twitter of birds and the sound of about twenty skimmers heading towards the Terra.
Wait. Hold the phone.
Piper searched the skies, and to her horror found her ears told no lies. There were twenty skimmers at least, but these were no ordinary skimmers. They were talons. Her golden eyes narrowed in anger, what are they doing here?
The five ran to the centre of the town and screamed that Talons were on their way. People panicked, ran around and kept a hold of their loved ones; Piper looked upon a couple scared for each other's lives. Holding onto one another and telling each other how much they loved each other. She wanted something like that, someone to hold her, protect her and cherish her… like Aerrow used to do.
A small blush crept up slowly onto her cheeks and she mentally slapped herself for thinking such things. She was not in love with Aerrow. Wait. Where did this even come into the story! With a sigh and small groan escaping her lips, she was gripped tightly round the arm and pulled into an alley.
"Wha-?"
"Shh, the Talons, they're coming down! We need to take them out… well, as many as we can at least."
"Good plan."
Piper, Finn, Junko and Radarr all stepped out in front of the Talons and got into a fighting stance. The talons weren't the only problem though.
"Dark Ace?"
"The one and only… now, we'll leave quietly if you tell us were the by is…"
"Boy? Who are you-"?
Piper stopped mid-sentence when her mind finally registered, he meant Aerrow.
"Why are you after him?"
"Master Cyclonis is after him…"
"Well tell her to look else where… in fact if she finds him be sure to tell us 'cause we sure have NO idea where he is…"
"Maybe you should look in 'lost and found', I found my old keys in there once. That's were a lot of things go missing…"
Dark Ace, Piper, Finn, Junko and Radarr all turned to see the masked 'Crimson Rider' stood there, his dark red and back suit as clean as ever, and his mask perfectly lining his face.
"Crimson Rider?"
"Who the hell are you and what do you want… I have no time for games!"
"Awww, doesn't Acey like to play games?"
"Acey? What are you playing at kid?"
"Nothing, just stopping you before you destroy this town like the one on Terra Merb…"
"How'd you-? Never mind…"
The dark Ace lunged at Crimson Rider, but his attack failed when the mysterious lad skilfully dodged the oncoming sword and with a swift kick in the back of the head Ace was on the floor. Onlookers were shocked beyond belief and some even came out of their hiding places to look upon the fight.
"Give up?"
"Grrr, no way kid… you've just made me angry!"
It was obvious he smirked even though you couldn't see it beneath his mask. The lad hadn't even drawn a blade yet and was winning. More lunges, more dodges and definitely more kicks, even a few punches, a few elbows, knees and only Dark Ace was on the receiving end.
Eventually Dark Ace gave up and him and the Talons left in disgrace. Master Cyclonis was going to kill him for this.
Cheers went all around the town, screams of happiness and relief. Girls screamed 'Crimson rider' over and over again, as if they were some sort of crazy fan-girl club, the Mayor of this particular town came over to him and shook his hand.
"Is there any way we can repay you?"
"Nope, all in the life of a drifter…"
"I see, well if you EVER need help from us, don't feel ashamed to come and call."
"Thank you... I wont."
Mounting his skimmer he gave the five a quick nod and a salute. And off he flew into the now reddening skies, it was beginning to fall into night. Piper sighed and suggested they stayed here for the night, with all four agreeing they stayed at Junko's for a night.
Suring the night Piper tossed and turned, how she wished to be held at night. She was almost seventeen and still hadn't had a proper boyfriend; heck she hadn't really had one at all.
All she wanted was someone to hold and love and maybe even… kiss. Sighing, Piper awoke from her restless sleep and walked over to the window. Resting her elbows on the windowsill, she peered over the city lights and looked at the stars. She could just about see the sun beginning to rise.
Where are you Aerrow?
Why can't you come back to us?
We want you…
I think Radarr really wants you…
And…
I want you, no, I need you Aerrow!
Please…
I… I think I lo-
"Piper? Breakfast is ready!"
Muah ha ha… I stopped her saying it!!
