Storm Hawks- Yin vs. Yang
Chapter 19
Hold On!!!!!
(Cyclonis' P.O.V)
I stood at my crystal making machine. Behind me stood my absolutely despicable excuse for top fighters and evil doers. There, stood Ravess, Snipe, Dark Ace, Repton and his Raptors. I turned to face them.
"You call yourselves Cyclonians!! You can't even defeat one simple sky knight and get me one simple little girl!!! I want my sister back!! And I'll burn in hell before I give up trying to get her!! And that's why I brought you here! Break some hearts, break some bones, I don't care, just make sure that by the end of the day Bella is here and Aerrow is out of the way! Team up if you must, now go!!!" I yelled to them.
They bowed to me then they ran off and out the door. I was once again by myself. It won't be long now, dear sister. Soon we can be together again and I can then relieve you of the pain of losing your first love. But at a price, your entire memory!! Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!
(Piper's P.O.V)
I woke with a start, suddenly seeing what Cyclonis had stored for us. I rushed out of my bed and into the main room, still in my nightie.
"Bella!! Aerrow!!" I yelled. Bella stuck her head out of the door to her room, but there was a loud crash and someone saying 'ow' coming from Aerrow's room. Aerrow's head poked out of the door to his room, but he was rubbing the back of his head.
"What is it Piper?" Bella asked me, trying to keep from giggling at Aerrow's clumsiness.
"It's Cyclonis!! Dark Ace, Ravess, Snipe and the Raptors are on their way!! They want to get you back to Cyclonia and they want Aerrow out of the way, in other words, dead!" I told them.
There was sudden laughter coming from Aerrow and he walked to me saying, "And just how do you know that? Did you dream it? Well, it might just be a dream!" obviously Finn hadn't told Aerrow about my vision before and how it proved to be correct.
"Aerrow has a point Piper. As much as I want to believe you, I can't turn away from modern logic. Finn, what do you think of this?" Bella said. Finn walked to me and put a hand on my shoulder.
"I know she's right! Piper had a vision before about Bavalon and it turned out to be correct, and now she's had another one, this one will be correct again. I know it! Believe what you want to believe, but Junko, Stork, Raymus, Radarr and Fi-Fi all know about Piper's visions being correct. You're slightly outnumbered." said Finn. Bella and Aerrow looked at each other, gob smacked.
"And why weren't we told this earlier?" asked Bella. I huffed a laugh.
"Never found the right moment to tell you guys, sorry." I answered. Bella giggled and walked to me. She put a hand on my other shoulder.
"That's alright Piper." she said to me.
"Well then, let's not waste any more time, we got a battle plan to come up with!!" Aerrow said, smashing one of his fists into his other hand, a big grin on his face. As much as I liked Aerrow, him and me were more brother and sister, rather than a crush. I'd started to notice I was getting closer to Finn and I think I had a crush on him. That's alright, it was better I gained a crush on Finn rather than Aerrow, cause Aerrow's taken and I wouldn't want to come in between my 'brother' and my best friend. And personally, I think Aerrow and Bella were an over cute couple anyway!!
(Ravess' P.O.V)
I can't believe I had to listen to another rant from that little know-it-all brat!! When the time comes, I'll show her who's boss! Snipe was just running around in circles, smashing everything that was in sight. Dark Ace was as silent as ever. Repton and his Raptors were talking about how they were going to get Aerrow out of the way. I think I heard something about sky knight stew. I made an 'ew' face at them. My eyes narrowed as a brilliant plan struck my thoughts. I could use the Raptors and Dark Ace to get Aerrow out of the way, while Snipe and I get Bella and bring her back to Cyclonis. I raised a hand, everyone turned to look at me.
"Listen up fellow Cyclonians, for I have a plan. We'll team up, The Raptors and Dark Ace will get Aerrow out of the picture, I don't care how, just as long as they get rid of him for good, while Snipe and I get Bella and bring her back to Cyclonis. We'll all get the recognition we all deserve!!!" I said to them. A huge grin formed on the Dark Ace's face. The Raptors chatted anxiously between each other, honestly, I think they had peas for brains. Snipe chuckled, smashing the wall with his fist. My eyes narrowed, a grin forming on my face.
"Raptors and Dark Ace, you guys need to think of how you're going to get Aerrow out of the way, while Snipe and I will come up with our own plan. That is all!" I said to them. Dark Ace and the Raptors walked off, working on their plan, while Snipe and I worked on our plan.
(Bella's P.O.V)
Honestly, being a princess was hard enough on it's own accord, being Cyclonis' sister was also hard enough, but being both was just down right frustrating! I can't take much more of this! I walked to the window, placing my hands against the glass. I mouthed out a little prayer, hoping this would all end soon, and I also prayed that we would win. Aerrow was looking at my worriedly. I hated worrying him like this, but eventually I was going to break. I had to be really strong to make it to this point, but I had a feeling this was the end of my rope, I was going to break. I growled in frustration. Everyone's heads had turned in my direction.
"Why?! Why me?! Why is this happening?! Why does Cyclonis need me so badly!?" I yelled out in frustration and fury, but also in sadness and confusion. I then did something silly, I whacked my head against the glass. I heard Aerrow gasp. I fell to my knees and he ran to me. He wrapped his arms around me in a comforting way.
"Hey, I don't know why Cyclonis wants you so badly, but I can tell you one thing that I can promise, this is it! We're ending this! They're never gonna bother us after this! I can promise you that!!" He whispered to me. I was breathing heavily.
"I'm sorry if I'm worrying everyone, but I feel like I've reached the end of my rope. I can't take this anymore!!" I said to him, loud enough for everyone to hear.
"Uh, Bella, I don't mean to interrupt, but I've come up with a plan." said Piper. Aerrow helped me up and we walked to the table where everyone was.
"Aerrow, Finn, Radarr and Junko will take on who ever comes along to get Aerrow, while Fi-Fi, Raymus, Stork, Bella and I take out whoever is going to try and get Bella. Think you guys can handle it?" she asked us.
Junko chuckled a laugh, Aerrow smiled one of his triumphant smiles, Finn gave his little 'chica-cha' signals, Raymus rose his fist up. Radarr and Fi-Fi chirped, Stork merely nodded. Everyone turned to look at me.
"I guess…" I said, not really in the fighting spirit. Aerrow's smile faded to worried.
"I'd better find a way to cheer Bella up. Guys, keep putting more details into the plan, we'll be back soon." said Aerrow. He put his arm around my arm and led me out of the main room. He took me to the roof. The sun was high in the clouds and there was a midday breeze in the air. But I was just too depressed to enjoy it like I usually did. Aerrow turned to look at me, a smile of hope on his face. But it fell when he saw there was no improvement. Aerrow then looked at the floor, which was what I'd been doing that entire time.
Aerrow then led me to the hanger bay and hopped on a skimmer. He urged for me to hop on with him. I brought myself to hop on and he then took off. The wind blew in my face and he took us for a couple of cartwheels. He turned to look at me again, a smile of enjoyment and hope on his face again, but once again it fell as he saw no improvement again.
(Aerrow's P.O.V)
I was running out of ideas. I rubbed the back of my head with my right hand, trying to think of how I could cheer Bella up. She wasn't herself. She was usually all happy and cheery, loving everything, but taking it seriously too. She knew the dangers and she knew how to turn them into opportunities. But lately she was getting down right depressed
"Bella. Please! I can't stand seeing you like this. If this is hurting you to be like this, just imagine how it's breaking my heart! Please, what can I do to cheer you up? You being miserable just makes me miserable!" I said to her, making her look up at me.
She then sighed and shrugged her shoulders.
"I don't want to be the heir to Terra Tankus. I don't want to be a princess!!" she answered and clung on to my back, tears starting to form in her eyes. I gasped at her sudden outburst. She didn't want to be a princess?!
"With fate choosing me, it's always duty, duty and duty! I've had it!! It's too much for just one person!! I'm starting to wish I was never born!! Then I wouldn't have to go through all this!!" she said, making my eyes widen as I realised just what she was really going through. She was hiding this from all of us, and she hid it so well, but now that it was getting too much, it suddenly started to show.
I quickly landed and got off my skimmer so I could comfort Bella. She hopped off the skimmer and she hugged me. We sat on the floor, her on my lap. No words were exchanged, we just sat there silently. Bella seemed to be thinking to herself.
What she was thinking, I have no idea. I mean, I can't read minds for crying out loud. But I had a faint idea I knew what the topic was. It was all of us. That I knew.
(Bella's P.O.V)
It was in the dead of night. I was in my room. Everyone else was in their rooms, fast asleep. Tomorrow, Ravess, Snipe, the Raptors and Dark Ace were supposed to attack. I'd made up my mind. I wasn't putting my friends through all the danger.
I slid out of bed, ever so silently, being careful not to wake Fi-Fi. I then got dressed in a pink knee high dress with a short sleeved red top underneath, a pair of sneakers and a pair of mini shorts on underneath my dress, just in case.
I walked out of my room and down the corridor. I had to be careful of Stork's traps that he'd set in case someone managed to get on the Condor. I finally reached the hanger bay. Just in case someone was up, I'd packed some hypnosis crystals. I was just about to get on my skimmer when I heard a familiar voice.
"And what are we up to?" asked Raymus. I giggled and turned around to face Raymus.
"Nothing. Sorry Raymus, but this is for your own good!" I suddenly turned on him, using the hypnosis crystal on him. He collapsed in a sudden deep sleep. I mounted my skimmer and took off into the sky. I was headed for Cyclonia.
I eventually made it to Cyclonia. It had reached day light by that time. I just prayed I wasn't too late. I was just reaching the borders of Cyclonia territory when I saw a huge Cyclonian air ship. I swerved so I was in front of it.
"I need to speak with Cyclonis!!!" I yelled into the speakers that was connected to the Cyclonian air waves.
"I've come to surrender, leave my friends out of this!" I yelled. The Cyclonian air ship turned and headed back towards Cyclonia. I pulled in and got off my skimmer. Guess who walked out of the Cyclonian air ship? Dark Ace, Ravess, Snipe and the Raptors.
"Why did you come back!!?" yelled a familiar voice. We all turned to see Cyclonis, standing there, furious. Dark Ace then waved his hands, presenting me to Cyclonis. He anger faded into surprise.
"Oh! Bella, my dear, dear sister. I didn't expect to see you so soon. I never imagined it'd be this easy to get you here." she said to me.
"I came to make a deal. Me, for the safety of everyone on the Condor, including Aerrow." I said to her. She chuckled and then held her hand out. I took her hand and we shook hands.
"Welcome to Cyclonia Mirabella Le Terra Tankus!!" she said to me. I sighed, knowing it was the right thing to do. At least my friends were safe…
PLEASE REVIEW!!!! I'D LOVE TO KNOW WHAT YOU THINK!! PLUS, CAN YOU GUESS WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT?
Hint: it's got something to do with the statue of her father and the sword…
