Author's notes: right sorry about the long wait, but I have been working on Gwen's story, Reunion from Hell and another story which I'm wondering about. So anyway disclaimer time. I don't own Storm Hawks, the only thing I own is the plot line and the computer it was written on!

PLEASE

"Aerrow, don't you think you're going a bit over the top? He's alone after all." Piper queried.

"Maybe that's what he wants us to think, for all we know he could have a whole army of talons lying in ambush, we have to be prepared." Aerrow defended.

Piper went to protest but stopped when she saw the look in Aerrow's eyes. It was a look she had seldom seen before. And she knew better than to argue with him when he was like this. "Fine." she said weakly.

Dark Ace saw the sky knights flash of red hair before he saw his skimmer. Strange that was. How he always remembered the boy's hair first whenever he thought of the past. Or maybe it was Lightning's hair he saw first. Any which way it was the same colour.

And just like so many times before today, Aerrow engaged him in battle. A battle that seemed pre-choreographed to any one who happened to be passing by. Not that anyone would, they were miles from any Terra. And if they were that would be just plain weird. Although that little kid Noob would probably try that. Anyway back to the battle. Dark Ace noticed Aerrow's fighting was a little more aggressive than usual. Not that Ace was particularly bothered; he wasn't here to fight Aerrow. He was here to talk. Well he would be if Aerrow didn't keep trying to lob his head off every ten seconds. Dark Ace blocked an attack that would most definitely have taken his head off had he not blocked it. "I don't wanna fight you anymore!" He growled at the young sky knight.

Aerrow laughed. "What? You don't wanna fight? I suppose you want me to come to Cyclonia with you like a good little sky knight. Well I'm sorry to disappoint, but I won't be coming with you today."

"I have no reason to take you to Cyclonia anymore. I was banished by Cyclonis."

" You were banished by Cyclonis? Why?"

"We had a little disagreement about the way things were run in Cyclonia so she kicked me out."

"And you're here why?"

The Dark Ace faltered. "Redemption. I would like to re-join the Storm Hawks, if you would allow it."

Aerrow looked at Dark Ace, looking for a sign of a con or a lie of some sort, finding none he said " I'll have to ask the others first, but its fine by me."

ARGH! Another short chapter. Oh well, maybe I should do a flashback chapter next. Please let me know if you think I should.
