YEEEEEEESSSSSSS!!! Update!
I don't own the Storm Hawks
Gimme those reviews and enjoy the newest chapter!
Zooming to the Condor, Andromeda pointed to Dominic, Narcissa, and Andrea to fire on the carrier ship. About the Condor, the alarms began flashing their blue and red colors from the ship being attacked. Rushing back to his squadron with Radarr on his shoulders, Aerrow ordered, "Storm Hawks! Prepare for battle!" He saw the rest of the Storm Hawks staring at him with pale faces. "What?! C'mon! We gotta go out there!"
"Uh, Aerrow. Maybe you should take a look in this." Suggested Piper and passed a small oval handheld mirror to him.
Looking into the mirror, it clattered onto the floor as it fell from Aerrow's still hand. "This...this...this is what I looked like...12 years ago...when I was 14!" exclaimed Aerrow and looked at the rest of the Storm Hawks squadron. "It's happened to you guys too! We all look 14 again! Okay, it doesn't matter now. Let's go kick some tail!"
Zooming out on their skimmers and Piper's heliscooter, they separated and flew to their equal opponent.
Finn activated the crossbow on his ride and focused it on Narcissa. Loading it with a thunderbolt crystal, he clicked the trigger and it soared at her. Barrel rolling out of the path of the crystal, Narcissa stood up on her skimmer and took out her own energy crossbow. Taking a black crystal from the pouch on her leg, she placed it in her weapon and aimed at Finn before shooting. The black crystal soared at Finn and latched onto Finn's skimmer. Melting, it became a black slime that began to chew on his ride's energy crossbow. "Hey!" Finn exclaimed and he tried to whack the slime off his ride, but it kept dodging him as it continued to eat the crossbow.
Watching him struggle with an amused smile, Narcissa took out a thunderbolt crystal of her own. Firing it at Finn, it hit the blond Storm Hawks' ride and it fell apart. Quickly, she took out one of the bright lime green crystals and placed it in her crossbow. Again, she took aim and it soared Finn as he began to fall. Hitting Finn in the chest, the crystal exploded and formed a large sticky green bubble around Finn before attaching itself to Narcissa's ride. Struggling to get free, the more Finn struggled, the bubble got tighter around him and when he was nearly suffocated, he gave up. He wasn't going to get free or break out of here...at least, not on his own. Watching him give up, Narcissa laughed as she began to fly out of the way, "That was all too easy."
Junko soared towards Thesus and slammed his fists together, activating his family heirloom knuckle busters. Taking a silver crystal from the pouch on his arm, Thesus threw the crystal at Junko as hard as he could and it landed on Junko's skimmer. As it clattered to a stop, it formed a silver gremlin-like creature that began to chew on the wires and other parts of Junko's ride. Attempting to hit it off of his ride, Junko's arms were failing wildly around as the gremlin began to leap out of his way while Thesus was nearly falling out of the sky from laughter. Suddenly, it bit a red wire and gave an innocent look as the ride began to smoke. Junko tried to pull up as his ride began to barrel down to the Wastelands at a violent speed while the gremlin disappeared with a small pop. Like Finn, another light green crystal hit Junko in the chest, causing the bubble to come up around him and attach to Thesus' skimmer. Zooming away, Thesus stopped his ride beside Narcissa. Looking the opposite bubble he heard Finn greet, "Hey Junko. How's it hanging?"
Piper zipped towards Andrea as she took out her purple energy staff and placed a frost crystal in it. "Freeze!" she called and fired a shot at Andrea.
Andrea quickly barrel rolled to avoid the blast and took out her own energy staff. Placing a bright yellow crystal in it, she fired it and it hit Piper's hand, causing her to let go of her energy staff and watch helplessly as it fell into the Wastelands. Grinning, Andrea tossed a dark purple crystal at her and Piper took out the extremely rare Immunity Crystal she found 12 years ago. Holding it in front of her, it formed a little pink shield that caused the crystal to bounce off, and Andrea began to throw more crystals. Taking out a blood red crystal, she zoomed over top of Piper and dropped it. The crystal clattered into Piper's crystal slot and the gauges on her blue and yellow heliscooter began to go haywire. As her ride began to shake violently, Piper leapt off as her heliscooter exploded into several small pieces. Giving a small evil laugh, Andrea tossed the lime green crystal that hit Piper's chest and the navigation and tactics officer of the Storm Hawks struggled to free herself of the trap until she realized that she was nearly suffocating herself. Giving up, she was attached to Andrea's ride and Andrea flew away before stopping beside the other two. Finn greeted, "Hey Piper. Glad you could join the party."
Aerrow and Radarr soared towards Andromeda and they both leapt on top of their rides. Andromeda took out a pair of long red energy blades and Aerrow took out his own small blue energy blades. "Let me guess. You're the pesky Sky Knight of this bunch of misfits you call a squadron. And even going by the name the Storm Hawks. Aren't you a little young? And short while I'm at it Sky Knight?" taunted Andromeda.
"The name's Aerrow! Of the Storm Hawks!" retorted Aerrow and Andromeda leapt onto his skimmer's wing.
Clashing their weapons together, the red and blue colors radiated off their faces as they pushed against each other, attempting to knock the other one off the ride. Aiming a kick at Andromeda's waist, she stumbled towards the edge and barely caught her balance. Leaping in the air, she kicked Aerrow down. Quickly, Aerrow stood back up and jumped to avoid one of Andromeda's blades. Seeing a button on Aerrow's cockpit, she gave a nasty smile and barely stepped on it with her foot. Aerrow leapt into the air and performed his trademark Sky Knight move, the Lightning Claw. Avoiding it by jumping, that attack hit the engine and it started spewing dark gray smoke. "Radarr! Get that engine working Buddy!" ordered Aerrow and his weapons clashed with Andromeda again.
Taking out a wrench, Radarr leapt to the engine and began to repair the best her could. Andromeda stepped on the button again and the shield went flying up and hit Radarr, causing Aerrow's co-pilot to go flying off the skimmer. Watching this happen, Aerrow looked back at his opponent to see Andromeda throw a punch at him that knocked him off his skimmer. Quickly, she threw two of the crystals at Aerrow and Radarr that trapped the pair and latched themselves onto her ride. Flying beside the three other commanders, Finn commented, "Hey, you look good in green."
"Bite me." Aerrow snapped.
Aboard the Condor, Stork saw the rest of his squadron get captured. Quickly, a shot hit the Condor and he saw Dominic driving an enormous carrier ship that continued to fire on the merb's precious ship. Before he could shoot back, a large anchor broke through the glass and latched itself onto the Condor. Beginning to pull the Condor along, Stork attempted to break loose until he realized that he was attached good. The five of them completed their part of the mission. Now, there were three people who still had to finish before they could display their work to the Master.
Hiding in the shadows, Celina's catlike hazel eyes focused on Master Cyclonis and she brushed a strand of dark brown hair out of her view. She was the youngest and newest. This was going to prove that she was as good as the other commanders. "Hello Master Cyclonis. It's so great to see you on such short notice." She greeted and stepped out of the shadows, causing Master Cyclonis to whip around.
"How'd you get in here?! And who are you?!" Master Cyclonis demanded.
"Who I am doesn't matter. And it wasn't exactly hard to get in here either. That stupid fat guy and anorexic archer...I could beat those in my sleep. Oh, and that army of Talons, you might want to train them better. I could beat them in my sleep as well."
"I could really use someone like you. You'd make an excellent Talon."
"I already have a good position that I won't give up."
"You're not one of those pesky Sky Knights?"
"Nah. I'd rather die than be one of those pesky goody two shoes."
"Good. Then I won't have to fight you."
"My position is a commander and yes, we'll still fight."
Her energy staff floated to her and Master Cyclonis informed, "That, is a very unwise decision. You don't know what you just done or who you're dealing with!"
"Oh, I think I do know. See, you don't know how powerful I am!" retorted Celina as she took out her own energy staff and blocked an attack from Master Cyclonis. "Have you looked in the mirror lately? You look a lot younger. 12 years in fact."
Quickly, Master Cyclonis felt her face and gasped. Celina was right; she was 12 years younger! With Master Cyclonis caught in shock, Celina nailed Master Cyclonis, causing her to go flying into a wall. "It's been fun, but you're wasting some of my most valuable time." Celina coolly commented and took out the lime green crystal.
Gently tossing it at Master Cyclonis, it hit her in the stomach and she was soon trapped in the light green bubble. Leaning against the wall, Celina smiled. She finished her part and in good time too. This was definitely going to give her a boost in her position.
Landing on Bogaton, Starling leapt her ride over a trip wire. Repton and the other Raptors weren't gonna get her that easily. It was a seriously dangerous and a very important mission she was on. Even though she had recovered the shield of her late squadron, the Interceptors, there were still several shields of other deceased squadrons in Repton's keep. Her mission was to take as many shields as she could and return them to the Terras that they rightfully belonged to. Over the past 12 years, the different squadrons were being rebuilt, but they needed their shields, and she volunteered to help them out. Seeing a large lake in front of her, she skidded to a stop, hopped off her ride, and walked to the water. Maybe if it wasn't too deep, she could ride underwater into Repton's tower without being noticed. Looking into the water, she jumped back as she gasped and felt her face. She was 12 years younger! She held back a high-pitched scream as she continued to move away from the water and fell back into her ride. "Shocking isn't it?" an unknown female voice commented. "I bet that you never knew that you could revitalize your appearance to 12 years ago."
Whipping around, Starling saw a ride racing over a hill and skid to a stop near her, raising a huge cloud of brown dust. Coughing, she waved as much of the dust out of the view of her bright green eyes to see a petite and skinny figure casually strutting to her. The girl's dark navy blue eyes bore deep into her as she shook her short violet hair and her long white bangs fell into her eyes. "Who are you?" asked Starling.
"The name's Rami. Of course, you don't need an introduction. You're Starling, former Sky Knight of the Interceptors of Terra Mesa." Rami answered and she took out a thin short blade that was a deep red color. "We can do this the hard way, or the Rami way. Take your pick."
Taking out her purple nunchuks, Starling hissed, "I guess we'll do it your way."
Both of the girls launched themselves at each other and Starling kicked Rami backwards. Getting back on her feet, Rami flying kicked Starling down and took out a dark purple and black crystal from the pouch on her leg. Gently tossing it at the Sky Knight, it hit the Sky Knight in the center of her chest. Starling fell screaming to the ground, curling up in a ball, and shaking as she continued her high pitched screaming. Putting her energy sword away, Rami took out a lime green crystal and casually examined it. "Aww, come on Starling. Don't be so afraid. Wait, I guess you can't. After all, that Fear Stone does trap you in your worst fear." She casually remarked as she then began to examine her fingernails.
"Get away from me! Stop it! Get away from me! Stop it!" screamed Starling.
"Okay, I guess I will stop it with this handy Trapping Stone I just so happen to have with me." Sighed Rami and tossed the crystal at her opponent.
As a result, the green bubble formed around Starling and she stopped her screaming, although she was still shaking like she was dumped into a ice-cold deep tank of water. Clearly, she wasn't convinced that she was out of her nightmare yet. "You know, for a Sky Knight...you're pathetic! Aren't you supposed to be brave?! Aren't you supposed to over look your fears?! You're nothing more than a fake and a phony!" spat Rami as Starling's trap was attached to her ride.
Getting back on, she revved the engine before racing away and transforming into skimmer mode. There was only one person who was left to finish the mission...the Dark Phoenix...
Continuing to train, red alarms began flashing and whining, causing Serenity's ears to perk up. Abandoning her training, she rushed away until she found the Dark Ace. "Father! What's happening?!" she cried.
The Dark Ace answered, "Master Cyclonis is in trouble. Come."
Both of the rushed to the control room and burst open the thick and heavy doors. Standing in front of Master Cyclonis' prison, was Celina who whipped around at the noise. "Hmm. The feared Dark Ace and his sidekick the ever so obedient daughter...such an original and interesting combination." She teased and they all took out their weapons.
Before Celina could react, Dark Ace fired a red blast from his energy blade and it knocked her back into a wall, causing her to drop her weapon from weakness. "Please tell me what I just witnessed, wasn't the best thing that the dreaded Dark Ace has." A voice commented and they saw the Dark Phoenix leaning against the wall casually as she examined her energy blade. "Serenity. Free Master Cyclonis. I'll take care of this small...interference..." ordered the Dark Ace. Serenity stood in place and stared at him with shock and fear in her eyes. "What are you waiting for?! Go!"
"Father! It's you! You're younger!" whimpered Serenity.
The Dark Ace glared at her and she rushed away to help Master Cyclonis. The Dark Ace's blood red eyes met the Dark Phoenix's cold dark gray eyes when they suddenly launched themselves at each other and clashed their weapons against the others. Stopping in front of the bubble trap, Serenity stabbed her blade into it and ripped the largest hold she could make in it. "Master Cyclonis! Hurry!" shouted Serenity and the leader of the Cyclonians rushed to the opening made by one of her loyal servants.
The opening quickly sealed and Master Cyclonis barely stopped in time to prevent colliding into it. The Dark Ace dodged a punch and the Dark Phoenix blocked a roundhouse kick. Their weapons clashed against each other and both of them had clenched teeth as they pushed each other, trying to overpower the other with all of their strength. Swiftly, the Dark Ace roundhouse kicked her back into one of the dark walls. Getting back up, she leapt into the air and flying kicked him down. "That the best you got old man?!" she taunted as he got back up.
Performing his move, she performed her own move at the same time and both of them got thrown backwards into opposite walls. Standing back up, she shook her head and grew a large scowl. She commented, "This has been fun, but I want to try out a new crystal that I got."
Taking out the Shadow Phoenix Crystal, she gently tossed it in front of her and it clattered onto the ground. As the crystal began to glow an eerie black color with shadows weaving around it, they heard a high-pitched phoenix cry. Soaring through the window and breaking the glass, the phoenix landed, causing the whole room to shake. Its feathers were deep grayish black colors and its talons and beak were pure black with midnight black shadows weaving around it. Gazing around the room, its pure black eyes focused on the Dark Phoenix. Regretting what she just done, the Dark Phoenix took a few steps back and held up her energy blade. Looking at the Dark Ace, it gave another high-pitched scream and it took flight, soaring straight for the Dark Ace. Cautiously, he took a few step backwards and held his red energy blade at the ready. Before he knew it, the enormous bird extended its sharp talons and held him in a deadly tight grip. It flew higher into the air, opened its talons, and watched the Dark Ace drop. Crashing into the hard floor, Dark Ace's eyes were closed where he was motionless, limp, and unconscious. "Father!" Serenity cried and the phoenix stared at her.
The phoenix then looked at the person who summoned it and Serenity quickly rushed to the man that had sired her. Kneeling beside her father, Serenity looked at the Dark Phoenix to see her fighting the bird before looking back down at the Dark Ace again. Desperately, she shook his limp shoulder to have it fail around like an arm on a rag doll. Hearing a buzzing sound, she looked up again to see a red blast flying at her. Knocking her back into a wall, she fell down as motionless as the Dark Ace, causing the Dark Phoenix to give a small laugh. The Shadow Phoenix bowed its head down to its master and the Dark Phoenix tossed two of the Trapping Stones at the father and daughter, causing them to be surrounded in the bubbles. Celina stirred as the three bubbles attached themselves to the Shadow Phoenix and the two commanders leapt onto the nearest ride. Hitting a button on her ride, the Dark Phoenix instructed, "Everyone. Return to Headquarters at once. Master is waiting for us to return."
That was a long one. So everyone's captured and the Storm Hawks got beaten...don't hurt me! (hides in a hole no one can find)
Gimme those reviews.
