"Oh and look hear they come now. There perfect formation I see." She said in a very annoying tone. 'Maybe I could 'slip' and press the blaster button.' Moonshadow thought happily. As the Condor landed on, the Rex Guardians pulled up next to it, though instead of using their usual manners they promptly marched aboard. "Aerrow, I heard you and your squadron has captured the Dark Ace, have you not?" Harrier asked in his British accent. "Well kind of..." Aerrow started. "Good! Take me to him so we can put him in a safer place until he can be transported with more then 1 squad." Harrier ordered. "Err, ok." Aerrow said in a hesitant tone and lead Harrier to infirmary.
Just as Harrier ad crew were reaching the infirmary Moonshadow came out. When she saw Harrier she frowned saying, "What do you want?" "Why we've come to take the Dark Ace to the holding cells of Terra Rex until more squadrons can come help transport him." Harrier said in his stuck up manner. "Over my dead body." She hissed back. "I don't know about killing you but how about a duel?" He replied. She snarled at him and turned heel. "We'll expect you and the Dark Ace at the arena tomorrow morning. We get to choose how half of him is contained, and you may choose how the other half is contained." and with that said to her he turned heel and walked out.
The next day in the arena the Dark Ace woke up with numerous chains and shackles along with everything else you could think of or name wrapped up to restrain him on his left side (including bars out a little farther), and a simple chain around his wrist and ankle on his right side. 'Oh perfect,' He thought. 'what now?'
Farther out into the arena Moonshadow stood next to her skimmer alone. The Storm Hawks were watching from the stands. "Were is the rest of your team? Chickening out?" Harrier asked. "No. I am my team. I shall participate in every competition. Got a problem with that?" She said. Harrier marched off.
"Now that we are all gathered we will now start the duel. Starting with the noble art of sky drawing." The lead judge announced. The first contestant from the Rex Guardians flew into the sky gracefully drawing a swan. When he flew down he saluted to the judges. When Moonshadow took to the skies on her skimmer she flew up making intricate drawings, changing colors as she went. When she flew down she had a symbol with a green basilisk rearing to strike, a electric yellow dragon roaring at the sky, a flaming phoenix shooting flames at the ground, a pure white unicorn paw in the ground, and a deep black hippogriff getting ready to take of for flight. It was really an amazing sight.
"Well, seeing as this is quite an astounding sky drawing, you earn the full ten points." The announcer said quite baffled. "But she forgot to salute!" Harrier exclaimed Just as the judge/announcer was about to say something, Moonshadow interrupted saying, "You don't have to salute, it's just etiquette." "True." The Judge grumbled.
"Now a true sky knight must know his or her ride inside and out. The first person to put their ride together the fastest will win this round." The Judge said. Two seconds after start was called Moonshadow had her ride together, which looked very close her very own skimmer. "And I remembered to wash my hands, thank you very much." Moonshadow said just as Harrier was getting ready to say something about the match. "The winner is Moonshadow."
The next duel went the same way. Then it was the round that the crowd was all waiting for. Moonshadow vs. Harrier. When the judge said go, they both raced of to the skies. Moonshadow took one look at her weapon and chucked at harrier with disgust. It buried itself deep in his skimmers wing. In one fluid movement Moonshadow drew her sword, and shot an electric yellow bolt out of it. Harrier's skimmer blew up.
The crowd gasped as he went hurtling to the terra. In one reckless move the ex-Cyclonian jumped on her skimmer and made it go into a nosedive towards the terra. Just before Harrier dropped she caught the back of his shirt and stopped his fall, but then dropped him. A shadow fell over him as she put her electric blade so close to his neck, he could feel the electricity of it. "I...I stand down." he said with regret. Moonshadow smiled, and the Dark Ace who had been watching and hoping she would, smiled to himself glad that he wasn't going to be stuck with the Rex Guardians.
When Moonshadow offered Harrier a hand up, he smacked it away, leaped up and started ranting about all the things he didn't like about what she did, and what was against code. The council turned around and began discussing with each other the main speaker turned towards Moonshadow and Harrier. "Well..."
