The Plan in Action
"I can help you know," said Stork sullenly.
"You're already helping by fixing the ship and preparing for our getaway," said Piper kindly.
"Okay," he said, mollified.
"Um, a little less talk and a little more action would be even more helpful," Junko said, struggling with a heavy box of tools to repair and make adjustments to the skimmers and Piper's heli-scooter. "We're getting close to Terra Cyclonia."
"Isn't that just the most predictable name you've ever heard of?" asked Finn. "It fits the ruler of the place- dark and not very pretty." He was looking out of a glass pane.
Radarr screeched unhappily. "What?" Finn asked puzzled. "What did I say?"
"Something not very pleasing, I guess," Piper joked.
"Let's get finished with these stupid scraps of metal," Stork said while banging a wench somewhere inside the skimmer. "We need to be finished before we get there. And Piper do you mind flying the Condor while I fix this?"
Piper nodded and walked off to comply. Radarr followed behind her. Junko sat down on the floor to fiddle with his huge skimmer and surprisingly he didn't cause any damage.
"Hey," Stork shrieked. "Stop messing with that! Can you get me that screwdriver?"
Junko stopped what he was doing and gave Stork a screwdriver. Finn stood at the door watching them work. "Why bother with improvements?" he asked. "We'll just be damaged again with the Cyclonians firing at us."
"I want the skimmers in the best shape so you won't go down in flames," Stork stated. "Man, you're so doomed."
"You and your doom," Finn rolled his eyes.
"Whatever," Stork repressed a grin. "You should stop talking and start helping."
Finn smiled and then began to help Stork with the necessary tasks that needed to be done. Finally done with everything they had to get down Finn hopped onto his skimmer.
"Tell Piper to open the doors," Finn said. "We have to get out there before they realize that the Condor is even around."
"You're acting smart again," Junko pointed out as he got onto his skimmer. "Hopefully we won't be blown up."
"Very comforting, Junko," Finn stated. Junko grinned. "Let's get going."
Stork must have gotten over to Piper for the doors were opening up. Luckily it was all clouds- it provided cover for the skimmers that didn't want to be found.
Both Finn and Junko started their engines and jettisoned out of the bunker. The door closed behind them and doubts entered into Finn's mind. Will my plan work? Will my plan save Aerrow? Will our distraction actually work?

Piper sighed when Stork came back into the cockpit because it was her turn to leave the ship in her heli-scooter, but she had the job of saving Aerrow. Radarr caught the drift that they were going and followed Piper to the bunker.
She climbed on it and waited for the rabbit to latch on to her neck. Piper started the engine and Stork opened the doors. And off they went unsuspected (or so they thought).
Radarr looked around him and below. It was different from being on the skimmer with… Aerrow. He wailed forlornly.
"What's the matter?" Piper asked looking over her shoulder. "We all miss Aerrow, Radarr. It's the natural thing for friends." She turned her attention back on flying. She had set the GPS to the coordinates of the Cyclonian ship and was closing on them fast.
Radarr huffed, but quieted. He looked down at where Piper's energy staff was secured. He had always been fascinated by the bright glow of any crystal.
Piper wondered what the rabbit was thinking. It was too hard to communicate for the thing couldn't talk- it must be frustrating.
The massive ship came into view. Piper started as an arrow whizzed past her head. She twisted her back so she could she the attacker. It was Ravess. Another arrow was put into the woman's bow and aimed directly for her.
Piper turned the controls to the left and the heli-scooter lunged to the side dodging the deadly red arrow. She grabbed a hold of her energy staff and brought it up to her side. She was ready to block any attack- and certainly form an attack.
Ravess cried out in disappointment. But despite it all she aimed another arrow towards Piper. She released it and Piper shot a bolt of her staff's energy to blow the incoming arrow to pieces. And with determination Piper aimed a direct blow at Ravess' skimmer.
She missed, but fortunately it clipped Ravess in the shoulder, making her unable to counter-attack. Radarr screeched for the violence was making him nauseous (you'd never think Aerrow's co-pilot would be afraid of these- Aerrow thrust him into battles pretty much at every opportunity).
Piper looked at Radarr. She hoped he would be okay. Then she put her heli-scooter into full speed. Piper raced to the Cyclonian ship without Ravess behind her- as Ravess was hurt and tending her wounds.
Luckily for Piper the bunker doors were open and she was able to land in the docking bay. Placing her heli-scooter in a forgotten corner and covering it was a tarp she, with staff in hand, and joined Radarr who was cautiously walking down the corridor.
At first there was no activity found, but soon they entered into a hallway literally covered in Talons, Master Cyclonis' soldiers. She sighed. Suddenly she felt Radarr tug at her arm.
Piper looked down at him to see him pointing at a vent. She grinned at Radarr and nodded. Carefully she climbed into it, with the rabbit hanging onto her neck tightly. The vent was not very big, but it wasn't so small that she couldn't move.
She closed her eyes and told herself she could do this- small spaces weren't her favorite place to be. Piper crawled aimlessly in the vent until she came upon a vent opening into a room where she could hear Master Cyclonis' voice.
"Where is he?!" the queen shouted sternly. "How could you lose him?"
Piper smiled.
