I got my reviews! Thanks everyone who reviewed! And thanks to everyone who read, but I wish you'd review!
I don't own Storm Hawks, but I do own Chassidy, Cam, Louis, Cypriote, and the Spirit Holder. This will be a short chapter, but the rest will be longer. I promise!
We were flying back toward Terra Rex. Hopefully, we wouldn't have any interruptions this time. The clouds gathered and strong, cold winds began to blow. Things could never be easy. "It's a blizzicane!" Piper yelled.
"It's not a natural one either." Master Cyclonis added quietly.
"Meaning?" Finn demanded.
"Cypriote is causing this." I said. Stork was turning the ship, trying to avoid the blizzicane. Suddenly, he jerked to the left, then to the right. Everyone fell except me. Hello, floating.
"We're being pulled in! We're gonna meet our icy dooms!" Stork yelled.
"Sometimes floating comes in handy." I said, flying to the front of the ship. I looked as close as I could at the blizzicane without being sucked in by its magical power. I looked way into the middle. I could see its power source. "Guys! I'm going in!" I yelled.
"No!" Everyone, even the Cyclonians, yelled.
"Why not?" I demanded. We were running out of time!
"We need you to save the Atmos!" Aerrow yelled.
"I need you guys to save the Atmos. Anyway, you guys can find a way without me, but if we're all dead then Atmos is doomed! Anyway, I can beat her!" I yelled.
"Chassidy…!" Piper yelled, frustrated. I guess being stubborn frustrates most people.
"She'll destroy you without a second thought! She was planning to kill you if you didn't join us!" Master Cyclonis yelled, quieter than the others, at me. I rolled my eyes and flew through the window anyway.
Who were you guys talking to?" Snipe asked.
"Chassidy. The ghost we JUST TOLD YOU ABOUT!" Ravess snapped impatiently.
"I didn't see anyone." Snipe said. Everyone sighed.
I flew faster than ever because of the blizzicane pull. I flew straight through to the center, and then did my best to stop. I did stop, but it was about fifty feet away from where I'd wanted to stop. It may not seem that far, but every inch counted in a blizzicane. There was a small crystal in the center. It would be hard to get it without being sucked into the blizzicane, but I had to try. I know what you're thinking. You're thinking that if Cypriote has so much power, why doesn't she just use her own power. Well, there are crystals that can do most things in the Atmos. Why would she waste her power? I stared fiercely at the crystal, calculating my best moment to shoot towards it. I saw the winds beginning to break and… Now! I flung myself through the crystal and the sudden force and air pressure change shattered it. The blizzicane faded, and I flew back up toward the Condor. I flew inside. Oops. I'm in trouble. Aerrow, Piper, Finn, Master Cyclonis, the Dark Ace, and Ravess (basically everyone who could see me) were glaring at me. "What?" I asked weakly.
"Are you insane? Tyou could've doomed the entire Atmos right there!" The Dark Ace scolded, stepping forward. I shrank back. I still didn't trust him.
"I never thought I'd agree with him, but I do now! If you ever do something that reckless again, we'll keep you in a Spirit Holder until you're needed!" Aerrow told me. I widened my eyes in horror.
"You wouldn't!" I exclaimed.
"Try me. If it's what I need to do to keep everyone safe…"
"Alright, alright! I get it!" I exclaimed.
"Approaching Terra Rex!" Stork announced.
"Time to get this show on the road!" Finn exclaimed. We landed and exited together. Anytime I even twitched out of time with the group, everyone who could see me glanced over to me to make sure I wasn't running off again. I sighed. I save everyone and then they don't trust me. The world is cruel. Piper knocked on the door. Harrier Johnson answered.
"Chassidy! You're back for another visit! I'm ever so delighted to see you!" Harrier exclaimed. I smiled. "Who are your new friends?" He asked. I glanced at the Dark Ace, who looked confused.
I floated over to him and whispered in his ear, "He doesn't remember you." Then, I turned to Harrier. "Mr. Johnson, this is uh…" I paused. I didn't want to give their real names or else he'd recognize them. He might have a bad memory, but it wasn't so bad that he didn't know the Cyclonians.
"I'm Lark and this is Ace, Ravess, Snipe, and my… servants." Master Cyclonis said. Not all the talons were with us, by the way. Just a couple. I held my breath to see if he recognized Ravess and Snipe.
"Ah." Phew! "And the others?" He asked. Others…? Oh! He doesn't remember the Storm Hawks!
"This is Aerrow, Piper, Finn, Junko, Stork, and Radarr." I said.
"Alright then. How about I make some tea and we can talk about whatever we want to talk about." Harrier said, leading us inside and to a big table.
"Uh, sure, Mr. Johnson. Thank you." I said. We all sat down while Harrier walked off slowly to get our tea.
"Talk about a bad memory." Finn grumbled.
"Hey! Don't blame him! He's, like, a thousand years-old!" I exclaimed. Harrier entered again.
"Four thousand nine hundred twenty-eight to be exact." He said.
I blushed and mumbled, "Sorry Mr. Johnson."
"It's quite alright, child." Harrier told me.
"Really, what we came for was to figure out how to defeat Cypriote." The Dark Ace said, getting right to business.
"Yes, of course. You have to go to four temples and defeat the trials that await you inside them. It won't be easy, but go to the Beaconing Tower after every temple for Chassidy to gain a bit more power. After the last temple, she'll be able to match Cypriote and defeat her." Harrier told us.
"Why the Beaconing Tower?" Junko asked.
"It's Chassidy's main source of power." Harrier said.
"You mean the Aurora Stone shards are her main source of power, correct?" Master Cyclonis asked.
"Exactly, young lady." Harrier told us.
"Where do we go first?" I asked.
"You must go to the Water Temple first." Harrier told us.
I told you it was gonna be short. The next ones will be longer. I should finish this soon. I have it all planned out now. Please review!
