Storm Hawks- Yin vs. Yang

Chapter 5

Dark Ace vs. Cyclonisius

(Aerrow's P.O.V)

We seemed to be learning heaps about our newest team member. Not only was she Cyclonis' younger twin sister, but she was also a long lost princess of not only Cyclonia, but also Terra Tankus. Imagine, being heir to the throne of not only one Terra, but two. Everyone seemed to flip at the idea of having a princess in the squadron, but Cyclone seemed to be thinking hard about something.

I looked outside and saw the sun was setting. Then an idea struck me. I walked to Cyclone and motioned for her to follow me silently. She did so and I led her to the top of the Condor. The sun was gradually setting into the horizon.

(Cyclone's P.O.V)

Aerrow led me to the top of the Condor and helped me up the ladder. The moment I saw what he was showing me I gasped in delight at the beautiful sun set. There were shades of pink, yellow and purple with little touches of orange and red, all glowing into one great big mixture. I walked to the edge and leaned against the rail. The wind blew my dark purple hair around, the ends playing in the breeze. Aerrow slowly walked over and joined me against the rail.

"You come here often, don't you?" I asked him. He smiled and nodded. I smiled back at him and we slowly watched the sun set into the horizon and disappear till the next day.

We were laying on our backs as the stars came out to greet us. I sighed as the night air filled my lungs and I closed my eyes, feeling the peace in the air, and the scent of flowers from the nearby terras blowing in the wind.

I felt eyes on me and they opened to see emerald eyes staring directly into mine. I was slightly taken aback at how close they were. I felt my cheeks burning as I realised Aerrow was just inches away from me. He seemed to be turning a slight pink as well. He backed away and lent me a hand. I smiled and accepted, letting him help me up. Then we slowly walked to the ladder. Aerrow went down first, then I started climbing down, but when I was halfway, Aerrow just grabbed my waist pulling me down so he could carry me. He placed me down on the ground and we walked to the hall way. We stopped outside his room and he turned to face me.

"Good night" I said to him. I slowly turned to my room and waved to him as I walked into my room. He waved goodnight at me, then I walked into my room, making my way to my bed. I changed into my PJ's and then went to sleep after doing my other chores before going to bed.

When I woke that morning, I received one hell of a surprise. I slowly opened my eyes to the sound of chirping and screeches. As soon as my eyes were open they came into contact with big yellow eyes and a pink head. It looked like Radarr but was a different colour, and sounded a bit different. I was so surprised by this I let out a scream and grabbed my pillow, throwing it at the little monster. The little monster screamed as I did and ducked behind the bed, trying to escape the incoming pillow. But unfortunately the little critter wasn't fast enough and was hit, being sent flying into the wall.

I slowly got out of bed and grabbed one of the clothe hangers and swung it over by shoulder like a bat and slowly walked over to where the pillow lay. The pillow suddenly went flying and I saw the little critter chirp with stars flying around it's little head. I raised an eye brow.

"Radarr? Did you get into the pink paint of the hanger bay? And did you swallow something that's affected your voice? How did you get in here anyway? I could of sworn I locked the door. Radarr?" I asked it. It looked at me funnily when I called it Radarr.

The door then opened and I saw Aerrow and Radarr there. I gasped, then looked from Radarr to the critter, then back at Radarr again. I raised a brow.

"Okay, if that's Radarr, then who is this?" I asked pointing at the little critter. It chirped in reply. Aerrow gasped when he saw the little thing, then looked at Radarr, who walked over to it, then they started chirping together. Radarr suddenly growled and pinned me down on the bed, making Aerrow gasp.

I gasped in fear as Radarr started scolding me with chirps and screeches. I started panting in fright and I felt sweat start pouring down my face.

"Ok! Ok! Ok! I obviously did something wrong! And I'm sorry!! Please! Don't hurt me!" I yelled back at Radarr pleadingly. Something seemed to snap into Aerrow and he suddenly ran forward, grabbing Radarr, trying to pull him off.

"Radarr! Cyclone is a member of this team, and we do not treat team members this way! Get off of her right now! That's an order!" he yelled at Radarr, who couldn't refuse an order and jumped off of me and onto Aerrow. I sat on my bed, shaking slightly. The little pink critter jumped onto the bed and curled into my lap. I smiled and patted it on the head. It started purring and I found out I jumped to conclusions too soon. This little fella wasn't my enemy, it just wanted to be my friend.

Radarr then jumped out of the room and dashed back in with a rusty old spanner. He handed it to my new friend, and they accepted it, giving Radarr a peck on the cheek. Radarr then smiled goofily and fell off the bed. That suddenly made something click in my head. This little creature was a girl version of Radarr. I chuckled and she looked at me. Aerrow cracked up laughing as his friend sat up with stars dancing around his head. I looked at my new friend and she gave me a pleading look. I smiled like she was a new born baby and gave her a big hug.

"Don't worry, you're staying with us. We won't let those mean, nasty Cyclonians get their hands on you. I can promise you that!" I said to her, making her hug me back. Aerrow smiled and sat next to me. I looked up from my new friend to look at Aerrow. I only just got to take a good look at what he was wearing. He was wearing dark blue long pants and wasn't wearing a top. That kinda made a small blush creep over my face, Aerrow without a shirt on. I looked back at my new friend.

"How would you like to be called Fi-Fi?" I asked her. She looked at me and chirped happily in reply. I smiled and she climbed onto my back as I made my way to the kitchen for breakfast, with Aerrow and a way too happy Radarr behind us.

I walked into the kitchen to see everyone else already there and staring at us.

"he he, who's that Cyclone?" asked Piper. I smiled at Fi-Fi.

"This is my new team mate, Fi-Fi. Say hi Fi-Fi!" is answered. Fi-Fi chirped hello to everyone.

"How did you find her?" asked Finn.

I chuckled and said, "I woke to find her on my bed." I heard Stork have one of his paranoia talks to himself about her having mind worms and how we were all doomed. I chuckled to myself and sat to have breakfast.

After breakfast I sat up on the balcony with my new comrade. She seemed to like it up on the balcony. I suddenly heard the sirens go off downstairs and I rushed to the ladder.

"What's going on?!" I yelled down there.

"Enemy air ship! Approaching fast! Too fast!" yelled Stork. I heard a screeched and looked at my pal, then where she was pointing to see none other, then the Dark Ace, on his sky ride, laughing down at me. I gasped and made my staff appear in front of me. Dark Ace jumped down from his sky ride onto the balcony. He pulled out his sword. It started gaining an electric red. I gasped as he fired at me.

(Aerrow's P.O.V)

"There's a fight above us! My crystal energizer is going off the scales!!! One is a fire bolt crystal and the other is a, wait a minute, a crystal that's not supposed to exist!!" yelled Piper. I looked at her, shocked at that last part of her sentence. I gasped as Cyclone suddenly came to mind. I remember that crystal in her staff she had brought out and had managed to thrash Ravess with. One shot and Ravess was out.

"It's Cyclone's crystal in her staff! It must be a rare powerful crystal only found from Terra Tankus!! " I yelled to Piper.

"Uh, Aerrow? We kinda have a problem!" said Stork. I turned to look at him.

"The fight can be seen from here, and it's tearing the Condor apart!" said Stork. I came to look at the window and gasped, seeing Cyclone fighting, none other than the Dark Ace!! My eyes went wide in fear.

(Cyclone's P.O.V)

Dark Ace fired at me and I was hit. I screamed as the pain shot through my body, making me fly over the rail, and onto the hanger bay. But I fell on my head. I slowly straightened myself up, still lying on the hanger, clutching my head in my hands. I groaned in pain as Dark Ace jumped off with ease. I sat up, still griping my staff in my hands.

When the Dark Ace was close enough, I rushed forward, balancing on my hands, reached my legs forward, wrapped my knees around his neck, then pushed myself backwards and slammed him into the hard metal.

I stood up and pointed the staff at him, letting the crystal energy charge so I could attack him. He had a look of fear in his eyes. I felt my eyes soften, even though he had tried to kill me, I couldn't bring myself to kill him, it just wasn't who I was. I lowered the staff and looked at him, wondering what his next move was going to be.

He slowly stood, wobbling on his feet. He charged his sword quickly and fired at my staff. As the blast hit the staff it went flying out of my hand and into the bay where the skimmers were. Dark Ace slowly walked closer to me. I gasped, my eyes wide in fear. He fired again and I screamed in agony. I went flying backwards, landing hard on the ground. I turned onto my stomach, reaching for my staff. I closed my eyes and focused.

Dark Ace slowly walked towards me, sword ready to strike me.

"Why are you trying to get your staff, it's too far away, I want you to look at me when I kill you!" he said to me.

Suddenly I started glowing a pink/purple. My staff also glowed the same colour. It then jumped off the ground. The Dark Ace was so shocked he didn't even notice me come at him till it was too late, I punched him square in the jaw. He went flying backwards as my staff flew to my outstretched hand.

I held my staff out protectively as he tried to strike me with is sword. I growled as he tried to hit me, time after time. I then knocked his sword out of the way just for a second, and I used that second to my advantage. I swung my staff at him, knocking his sword out of his hand. He growled at me. I gave him my meanest look.

Suddenly he dashed backwards and grabbed his sword. I knelt down just as he fired. I jumped up, flipping several times, before kicking his sword. It flew off of the edge and he jumped after it. I then rushed to the edge, turned to look at Fi-Fi, then jumped off of the edge.

I held my staff, then fired at his sword, sending it further away from him. He turned to look at me and growled. I smirked back at him, then turned myself around so I wasn't going head first anymore. I was then caught by a skimmer, driven by Fi-Fi. She chirped at me and I smiled back at her. We landed back on the ship, where we were greeted by the gang. We received hugs and everything.

Aerrow smiled at me, and I smiled back at him.
