You know I don't own Storm Hawks
Read, enjoy, and review!
Landing the Condor on a frozen Terra, the group shivering clambered out of the warmth of the ship into the barren winds and ice. Seconds later, the group turned around to see Aerrow, Dark Ace, and Shiloh land and get off their rides, Radarr frozen to Aerrow's shoulders. With his teeth chattering, Finn cried through clenched teeth, "You have an ice base?"
"Yep. It's our last resort base." Shiloh answered, huddling together
Giving her questioning look, Aerrow wondered, "Where'd you get the time? You've been-"
"We had our munitions and construction guys make this while we were doing other stuff."
"So, they didn't mind you blowing stuff up?"
"Who?"
"The people and things that live here?" Aerrow told her, like she was a ten year old girl.
"None do. They all got wiped out or left. There's nothing or nobody here." Shiloh replied thoughtfully. "They heard Master Serenity was coming here next. They were afraid of getting killed. They got away before she showed up."
Piper rubbed her arms and cried, "That's horrible!"
Finn's teeth continued to chatter as he whined, "It's so cold!"
"We don't have a choice." Amber responded, her cheeks turning bright red from frost bite.
"Why couldn't be somewhere like Tropica?" Finn pointed out
"Do you wanna live? Cause this is the only place she doesn't have her commanders come. She has Tropica completely under her control." Shiloh hissed.
Amber commented, "That's the unfortunate truth Finn. Trust me. I'd take Tropica over this any day." She began to swear as she began to pat her hand against the ice. "C'mon, it's gotta be here somewhere."
Her hand hit something that turned a bright green color and a door opened, a strong iced wind howled at them, causing them to disappear into the door that sealed up instantly. Walking through the halls, a few different members of the Resistance handed them sets of thick jackets, gloves, and boots, causing them to leap into them to get warm. Noticing Shiloh's quiet mood, Amber walked up to her and whispered, "Shiloh. What is it?"
Shiloh looked up at her with tearful green eyes and sincerely answered, "We lost a lot of good fighters out there today. That's the tough part about this. You lose so many. And they were your friends, people you've always been with. They're your family." She shook her head. "I can't let it get to me. I have to be strong for everyone. We have to win this."
Poking Shiloh in the shoulder, Aerrow asked, "Hey, Shiloh. I was wondering where you got that shield. The one with the Storm Hawks symbol."
Shiloh bit her lip and looked at Amber with worried eyes. Amber shook her head at Shiloh who riddled, "Aerrow. I can't tell any of this. It'll all come with time. I can't tell you now. You'll learn soon."
Piper intervened, "Hey, Amber. Where are we? Which Terra?"
"Oh. Terra Ice. It's on the other side of Atmos. As far as way as you can get from Master Serenity's scouts. They don't come this far. They refuse to." explained Amber.
"Alright, so what's the plan?" questioned Finn
Amber repeated with extreme sarcasm, "Yeah Shiloh. What's our next brilliant plan?"
Taking out a thick board that was a map of Atmos and a long handled moving stick, Shiloh placed several different modeled characters. "She's good...but we're better. We're gonna go all frontal assault. We're gonna bring out the big guns. That'll make her take out hers. Then, a group of us can infuriate her chamber. She won't be able to handle all that at once. Not without the Shadow Phoenix." Shiloh started, moving the different characters everywhere across the board. She turned to Aerrow. "And we're gonna need your help for this."
Aerrow wondered, "How?"
Investigating the different characters, Amber pointed to one and asked, "Hey, wait. Am I that one?" Her rose lips turned into an annoyed frown. "Cause that looks nothing like me."
Shiloh ranted, "Course not."
"Where am I?"
"Not on here."
Amber shouted, "Why?!"
"I didn't have time to sculpt everything!" Shiloh answered, moving the characters around with the stick.
Muttering under her breath as Shiloh continued to rant about the plan and moving the characters, Amber stalked away. Dark Ace followed her and grabbed Amber by her shoulder, causing her to jump and flip him over her. "Oh, sorry." She apologized when she saw it was Dark Ace and gave him a hand up. "Can I help you?"
"Hey, do you know anything about what happened to Serenity, how she became this way?" he asked.
"Sorta. Master Serenity probably told you though. Mainly, it was because she became hungry for power. She was loyal to Cyclonia. She changed a lot."
"How do you know?"
"I used to be one of her friends. I was in Cyclonia. I worked as a Talon for a few years, and she began to change. She taught me most of this, you know, the fighting and piloting skills, just the basics, you know, help me get by. She just kinda changed."
"How?"
"Well, I lost my parents when I was really little, like 6. So, I was working odd jobs in Cyclonia until I turned 14. Then, I was trained as a Talon. I met her around then. So, we had a few things in common. Except she had a parent that cared about her. She always talked about growing up without someone like a mom. After 2 years, when she turned 18, that's when it started. She then told me, that it didn't bother her anymore. She just changed, like she wasn't the Serenity I knew anymore. She stopped coming to see me. When I saw her training others, I heard their plan, about what they were going to do. So, I tried to warn you, but you thought I was causing trouble. I managed to escape, barely during the attacks."
"That's all?"
"Yeah. She was happy that she was able to talk to me. And she talked about you a lot."
"About what?"
"Well, she was upset. You were getting really protective of her, not letting her fly solo on any mission. You had to watch everything she did. She and Ravess flew off for a few days, and you always swung by there. At least three times a day. She felt like you didn't trust her."
Dark Ace started, "I-"
"In the end, she understood. Like she heard about how much you cared about her mom, and wanted nothing to happen to you, she would start telling you, that she could handle it. You were really worried what would happen to her if you weren't around." Amber cut off and began to walk away. "I gotta go check on some stuff, before we attack."
Staring at her until she entered a room, Dark Ace looked at his feet and ran a hand through his black hair. He had to rethink about how he was raising Serenity, changing so she wouldn't turn into Dark Serenity or into this.
Aww, Amber was a Cyclonian!
