Wow you guys are supportive. Thanks for the reviews.
Disclaimer: I don't own Storm Hawks...if I did, lots would be different.
Roseate: Chapter 3
The girl stepped into the sun for a moment, but retreated just as quickly. Her upper half still remained unseen.
"You are the Storm Hawks? The ones who saved Atmos?" She asked, hesitant. Aerrow nodded. "But you're just teenagers! Aw, screw it... I'm a teenager..."
The blue glow faded, and the ice melted, blasting apart into the trees. The girl's animal growled at them, still not trusting the newcomers. Radarr felt the same.
The blue co-pilot reached for Aerrow's lightning blades and shot a blast at her. It bounced off a tree and slammed into her back, and she screamed in pain, tumbling to the ground. Right in front of the Storm Hawks. Stork backed up behind Junko, who was confused yet again.
"Radarr!" Aerrow scolded. Radarr slowly returned the blade back to its original place.
"Is she...dead?" Piper asked, motioning to the girl's body, which wasn't moving.
Finn was about to nod when she rose.
"I hope no one in this group fired that shot..." She groaned, her brown hair flowing around her creamy colored face. The group jumped back, startled. Finn pointed to Radarr. He squawked in fear. Aerrow stepped in front of his buddy. Her hands were glowing faintly.
"You don't have a power staff?" He questioned, pointing to her glowing hands. She stepped back, as if kicked in the stomach.
"Uh, no..." Her hands sizzled with blue, and the glow disappeared. The slender body rose from the dirt, and shook off dust. Her light lavender-blue puffy dress fell to her upper thighs, a white sash tied with a navy blue rope around her waist. She wore dark blue-green pants, or leggings, that came from under her dress and went right above her knees. Finally running her hand through her wavy brown hair, she stood steady in front of the Storm Hawks.
"Sorry... I kind of get jumpy when ever there are strangers on this Terra. Even if they aren't Cylonians." She sheepishly gave a lopsided grin.
"Who are you?" Junko said while pulling Stork out from behind him.
"Roseate. But- But my brothers call me Rose. You can if you please." Roseate's blue eyes shined again, giving a fierce look to the soft shaped girl.
"Can I call you Rose? 'Cause you're as pretty as one." Finn was pushing his luck with this pretty but dangerous person. He winked.
"Oh, grow up." She rolled her eyes and put her hand in his face, pushing him to the ground. Piper smiled. "Why are you guys here, of all places?"
"Well, our ship crashed. All the crystals powering it died." Aerrow explained. Stork nodded.
"Hmm... if it helps, we have tons of crystals here." Roseate replied while rubbing her sore back.
"That'd be great if you could show us!" piped Piper. Roseate cocked her head to the side.
"Are-Are you hurt?" The girl in blue came closer.
"I hit my arm when we crashed. No big." Piper assured not only her team, but herself.
"You're bluffing. It's a problem." Aerrow firmly stated, not letting this slide. Roseate nodded.
"Heron! Heron!" She called. The animal stopped his growling and ran over, hearing the urgency in her voice. It walked over Finn, who was getting up.
"What is that?!" He nearly screamed.
"It's called a dog." The blue eyed girl knelt down to her dog's height. "Such a good doggie..." She cooed, letting him lick her face. "Alright Heron, enough. What are your names, all of you?" she demanded.
"I'm Aerrow. And that's Finn, Stork, Junko, Radarr, and Piper." Aerrow pointed out everybody.
"Piper, I need you to sit." Roseate gently added, while removing Heron's collar, a crystal on it. Aerrow was unsure of trusting her with Piper.
Gasp. "You have a, a-" Piper stumbled over her words.
"I'm not really sure what it is... but it helps me heal people. I use it on my brothers all the time... they get into so much trouble..." Roseate held the green gem out for all to see. Heron sat at her side. "My good ole' Bernice Mountain dog always carries it, because he's always with me."
Aerrow nodded in understanding. Dogs, weird hands, odd ice... where the heck did we land anyway?
"Terra Liluo."
"What?" He said.
"Terra Liluo is where you are now." Roseate casually called as she ran the crystal over Piper's arm. Heron calmly watched everyone with big brown eyes.
"How'd you know I was thinking that?" Aerrow was really confused now.
"Have any of you heard of an aura?" Roseate ran the green gem over Piper's other arm in comparison. Silence replied. "An aura is a field of energy that depicts how you are feeling. My brother Yuro can feel auras perfectly... I can faintly see them. You were confused... so I guessed that you wondered where we were."
"Whoa... this place gets creepier and creepier as the day goes on." Finn commented, casting a fearful glance in Heron's direction.
"It's ok... now I'll need someone else over here to help Piper." Roseate turned to the group, Aerrow immediately coming over. "I'm going to need you to stretch out your arm, Piper." She pushed some brown hair out of her eyes while setting her lips into a grim line. "It might hurt. So Aerrow, I'll need you to hold Piper's hand so she can squeeze it whenever she feels pain."
Aerrow grabbed Piper's hand, who laced their fingers.
Finn glanced to the two. "It's like they're married or something." He whispered to Junko.
"Ok, Piper. Go." Roseate gripped the crystal tighter, running it from Piper's hand up to her shoulder. Piper sucked in a breath, clutching Aerrow's hand.
Stork hovered nearby, but still looked around frantically.
"Keep going, you're doing great, Piper." Aerrow and Roseate gave words of encouragement.
When the arm was nearly straight, Roseate heard a sudden POP!
"STOP!" She yelled. "Don't move, Piper."
The girl turned to the forest, wind threading in her hair. "Heron!" The dog stood by her. She placed the collar back onto his neck. "Get Jay-Jay and Yuro. Tell them to bring the sky board."
The dog bounded off into the forest, shadow closing behind him. Roseate's hands began to glow as she turned to Piper. "Ok... lets get this over with." She said.
