Storm Hawks- Yin vs. Yang
Chapter 14
Captured!
(Bella's P.O.V)
We were in the Condor being chased by Cyclonians. Suddenly the Condor was hit and I went flying forward. Aerrow, however was at the other end of the Condor's main room. I was just about to hit the glass when Stork left his post and caught me, saving me from hitting the window. I sighed in relief, then returned to my post as Stork returned to his. I looked at Aerrow, he smiled in relief.
Finn was looking out the window and screamed. We all looked at him.
"Cyclonia is chasing us, meaning Cyclonis is chasing us!!" he yelled. I gasped and rushed over to the hanger bay. Aerrow, Finn, Radarr, Raymus, Piper, Fi-Fi & Junko not far behind me. Aerrow and Radarr hopped on their skimmer, Fi-Fi and I hopped on our skimmer, Piper hopped on her heliscooter, Junko got on his skimmer and Finn got on his skimmer while Raymus got on his skimmer as well. We all took off.
I was flying with Fi-Fi and I gasped as Cyclonia was chasing us, approaching fast! We had to make some time! I suddenly remembered what my mother had said.
"Fi-Fi! Fly the skimmer, I need a little time to make a quick call!" I said to her. She chirped and jumped in front of me, taking the controls. She drove us to stay around the Condor while I closed my eyes. I suddenly was swept in a huge network.
Mother, I need you. Please come, answer my call! We need your help, I need your help!
You called Bella?
Mother, can you help the Condor escape? When the Condor is safe, all of us will be safe. Can you?
But of course. Open your eyes, I'll help from now on!
I opened my eyes and suddenly the Condor disappeared! Fi-Fi chirped in surprise.
"Don't worry Fi-Fi. My mother's helping us!" I said to her, she relaxed. The rest of the gang was looking at where the Condor had last been in complete shock.
"Guys! Don't worry!! The Condor is safe! We're receiving help from a friend!" I yelled to them, they relaxed and went back to fighting. I took back the controls and flew to the others, getting ready to fight Cyclonia. I made my staff appear.
Aerrow got up and did his special attack, it reflected off and hit me square in the head. I screamed in pain and started falling!
"Bella!!!" yelled Aerrow. I was suddenly caught by Fi-Fi. I flew us back up to where the rest were.
"Bella, I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to…" said Aerrow when I cut him off.
"I know Aerrow, focus on the battle, not me!" I said. He focused back to the battle. Piper hit and it reflected, so did Finn, Junko and Raymus. I growled. I stood on the wings and focused the energy in my staff. I fired! It hit the barrier and stayed there, then it broke through! I gasped and kept my attack going, I made it as strong as I could. Suddenly a talon rammed into my skimmer and my focus broke. I lost my balance and was hanging on my the wing. I grunted, trying to keep my grip. I grasped the wing. Fi-Fi growled and pulled the switch to the talon's skimmer making it fold back to a motorcycle. He fell down then his parachute opened. I swung myself back over to the seat.
"Guys!! The barrier is too strong!! We need to get somewhere else, we have to loose them!! We have to regroup with the rest of Atmos!!" I yelled. They nodded in agreement.
Aerrow motioned for everyone to follow him to terra Atmosia when I shook my head.
"I'm staying to make sure you guys get away." I said to him.
"No Bella! If you're staying then so am I!" he yelled. I flew my skimmer closer to him.
"No Aerrow. You are the leader of the Storm Hawks, You are the one that will lead Atmos to battle against Cyclonia. It's You and only You! Go guys!!" I said to him and flew off to Cyclonia. Much to Aerrow's disgust, he flew the rest of the gang to terra Atmosia.
Suddenly I saw the Dark Ace on his skimmer with half a dozen talons behind him. He grinned evilly at me. I gasped! I flew to the right and they followed me. I ducked their attacks and kept flying as fast as I could get my skimmer to go.
I didn't have to worry about Fi-Fi, she was with Radarr who was with Aerrow. The Dark Ace then fired at me, it just missed my head. I gasped and flew down low to the wastelands. Dark Ace and his talons followed me. I couldn't keep this up! I swerved past a monster, then another. I flew around a rock doing a u turn and flew back at my attackers. I grasped my staff and fired at the talons, they were down in less than a minute. It was now just me and the Dark Ace. I flew back up to the clouds and he followed me.
(Aerrow's P.O.V)
I was wondering how Bella was doing, I hopped she hadn't been captured. We had just reached terra Atmosia and the sky knight council had called all sky knight squadrons around Atmos to come here immediately. They had already said they'd help Bella rebuild terra Tankus, now they wanted to help us help her. First Suzy-Lu's squadron appeared, then the screaming queens, then the rex guardians, then every other sky knight squadron around Atmos. Then Starling appeared. I rushed over to her and told her what had happened to Bella.
"Don't worry Aerrow, we'll help you guys get her back and we'll help beat Cyclonia." she said to me.
"Won't we?!" she asked every squadron in the room. There was muttered chatting between everyone.
"Pardon me." said Harrier. He walked forward.
"Does everyone seem to forget what happened the last time we followed a Storm Hawks into battle?" he asked everyone.
"The only dangerous place you've led your squadron is a hair salon." said Starling. Everyone started laughing. Suddenly Starling bowed down.
"When do we start commander Aerrow?" she asked. Then everyone bowed down to me.
"Tonight! The sooner the better!! Piper, you and the other navigators work on strategy. Junko, Raymus, you and the other engineers work on the machines. Finn, you and other sharp shooters help Junko. Stork, you and the other carrier pilot's work on aim and flying techniques. Us leaders will help Piper come up with a plan." I said to them. Everyone stood and got to work. I saw Radarr and Fi-Fi by the window. I walked over to them and looked out the window. I could see two dots out in the clouds, it was kinda hard to make out who they were. Suddenly Fi-Fi howled as a red light was shown through the cloud and red lightning struck around the clouds. I gasped and put my hands to the window. It was Bella and the Dark Ace! Everyone stopped to look at me.
"Bella, be careful!" I said.
(Bella's P.O.V)
I dodged the attack Dark Ace had fired at me. I suddenly saw terra Atmosia come into view. I gasped when I saw all the sky rides, I had to get Dark Ace and Cyclonia away from here!
I flew the opposite direction when a red blast came at me! I screamed as it hit my arm, making it bleed. I grunted in pain and my steering became wobbly. I was lurching forward and swaying left and right. Suddenly I saw another attack coming my way. I grunted and grabbed the handle with my injured arm and swerved , dodging the attack. My eyes narrowed in pain. I swerved down and another attack just missed my head. I looked behind me and gasped.
Dark Ace suddenly had Night crawlers around him. They hissed and I knew it'd have to stop this came soon. They flew at me and I tried to dodge. One cut my arm, making the wound worse. I felt myself slipping off the skimmer. I flew down to terra Atmosia and jumped off my skimmer when I was low enough. I saw Dark Ace and the Night crawlers flying down to try and get me. I ran off in the opposite direction. The Night crawlers swooped down and Dark Ace turned his skimmer into a motorcycle. I turned and fired my most powerful blast from my staff. Light and energy engulfed them all. The Night crawlers weren't affected at all, but Dark Ace was blinded and slammed into a tree. I started running again. I was on a wild goose chase.
Suddenly Aerrow and a bunch of sky knight appeared with their weapons. I ran past them to safety but the Night crawlers just scratched their way through and chased after me again. I turned behind me and saw Cyclonia getting very close to Atmosia! This reminded me of 2 years ago! I had to end this chase before Cyclonia took the top of Atmosia off the charts. I slowed my pace down.
I stopped and tried to catch my breath. Suddenly a Night Crawler landed and walked up to me. I pulled the meanest face I could pull.
"No! Bella!! Nooo!!!!" yelled Aerrow.
The night crawler grinned and his red eyes glowed and were the last thing I saw as he lifted his metal hand. My world went black, but I never lost track of those emerald eyes that were scared and worried and those red eyes as they tore me apart…
