Storm Hawks- Yin vs. Yang

Chapter 21

Ultimate Plan

(Aerrow's P.O.V)

I couldn't believed we'd been captured so easily. Maybe that's what Piper was trying to tell me, that they were heavily reinforced.

I sighed for about the 20th time. We were all stuck in a cell with iron bars encasing us. Everything was dark and it was a little damp. Everyone was down in the dumps and a little disappointed in themselves, including myself.

Suddenly the door opened, emitting light into the room. We all covered our eyes from the bright light. When I uncovered my eyes, I saw Cyclonis. She walked closer to the cell, and that's when I noticed her clothes, expression and hair length weren't the same. It was Bella!! She wore a Cyclonian crown but she was wearing the same thing Raymus said she left in. her pink dress with the red top underneath and the pink sneakers.

She ran to the cell when she saw me and the others. Her hands clenched the bars as she poked her head into the cell.

"Aerrow!! Why didn't you listen to the message crystal I sent?" she asked me. I gave her a quizzical look after I'd ran to the bars and was now face to face with her.

"You sent that message crystal?" I asked her. She sighed.

"Look, I haven't got much time before Cyclonis sends someone to come along and check up on me. I'm going to help bust you guys out of here, but then I'm returning to Cyclonis." she told me.

"What?! No way are we leaving you behind!! You're the reason we came here!!" I yelled to her.

"Aerrow. Believe me when I say I have a plan. I want you to go to the sky knight council and organise war against Cyclonia. Ok? I'll take it from there!" she replied back to me.

Bella then turned to her back pocket and fished out the key to our cell. She unlocked the door and let us out.

"Piper replied back to me through the message crystal. She told me why you didn't listen to it, or to her. Don't worry. Cyclonis told me what was going to happen to you guys, so I had to come along and save you." she said to us.

"What was our fate going to be?" asked Junko.

"Death." replied Bella. Finn gasped and his hands reached for his throat quickly. Bella giggled, then fished out an invisibility crystal.

"I'm going to make you guys invisible. Now no knocking into anyone, or else that'll be a give away. I'm going to walk with you guys to the hanger bay, I go there regularly so it won't suspicious. I've radioed Piper, she and Stork are on their way right now." said Bella.

I nodded and she let the crystal flash over us.

"Ok. I can't see you guys now, so no messing it up!" said Bella. She walked out of the dungeon and closed the door after us. We let her know when we were out before she closed the door. Then she continued to walk to the hanger bay.

(Bella's P.O.V)

I was leading everyone back to the hanger bay when I suddenly bumped into the Dark Ace.

"Ah, Princess Mirabella! I was hoping I'd run into you here! It's Cyclonis!" he said to me.

"oh, what about her Dark Ace?" I asked him.

"Come with me your highness!" he said to me, grabbing my wrist and pulling me behind him. I heard a growl behind me, and I knew that was Aerrow. We ended up in the library.

"I thought Cyclonis read her books in her throne room? This was about Cyclonis, where is she?" I asked him, or more so, demanding. The Dark Ace walked to the statue and pushed the head down, and the secret door opened.

"You knew about this, didn't you?" he asked me. I nodded.

"You know the statue of your father in there, well, that's not a statue, it's really him!!" he told me. My eyes widened and my blood went ice cold as a gasp escaped my mouth and my eyes suddenly started to roll upwards and my feet gave out. I heard voices.

"Dark Ace!! I thought I told you not to tell her anything about the statue!!!" hissed Cyclonis.

"She needed to know! So I told her, to stop her from coming there, I found remains of a message crystal there, so she's coming up with a plan!" replied the Dark Ace.

"Bella, can you hear me?" whispered Aerrow in my ear ever so quietly, even I almost couldn't hear him.

"How do you know it wasn't one of your talons?" asked Cyclonis.

My eyes slowly fluttered open and I sat up, rubbing my head.

"Ow. Wha-what?" I asked.

"Bella. Are you alright dear sister?" asked Cyclonis, coming forward to me, then reaching forward, offering me a hand up. I accepted and before long I was on my feet.

"is it true? Is that really father?" I asked her. Cyclonis sighed.

"Yes, it is. The former Cyclonis froze him and all the villagers into stone after they were all captured." she answered.

I gasped and ran into the secret room. I stopped at the statue of my father. I placed my hand on his cheeks and a tear rolled down my face. I then clasped the statue and started crying.

"hush, hush dear sister, you'll get over it soon. As soon as we make preparations for your wedding!" said Cyclonis. My head shot up. Wedding?

I turned to face Cyclonis and asked, "Wedding? What wedding?" Cyclonis grinned.

"Why yours of course! You're marrying Repton!" she answered. I gasped and jumped behind the statue. I clung onto it for dear life. Cyclonis merely chuckled and left, closing the secret door behind her.

"You can't tell me with 100% honesty that you want to stay here, not for that!?" said Aerrow.

"They're gonna marry you off to Repton. We have to save you!" said Junko.

"Piper will kill us, or more specifically me, if we go back telling her you're going to be married off to Repton!" said Finn.

"If they try to marry you off to Repton, I will honestly kill him before the wedding starts!" growled Aerrow.

"I still can't believe this statue is father! This is the last place I would of looked for him!" said Raymus, joining me in our little 'hug the statue'.

"I…don't…believe…it!" said a stunned Aerrow. We all turned to where his voice was coming from. Suddenly I could see everyone cause the crystal had worn off. Aerrow was standing in front of two statues, one a woman, the second a man. They look petrified.

Aerrow reached up and touched the woman's hand and said, "Mum? Is that really you?" I could hear his voice was breaking. Tears started rolling down my cheeks again. I walked over to him, and hugged him from behind. He turned to look at the man. He placed his hand against the man's out stretched out.

"Dad. I became a storm hawk, like you always told me!" he said to the statue. I released him and walked back to Raymus. All of us started to walk to the door when suddenly Aerrow said something that made my hair's stick on end.

"A sword in stone? Alrighty!" he said. I twirled around to see Aerrow had the handle of the sword in his hand and he was trying to pull the sword out.

"Aerrow!! No!! you're not of royal or noble blood!! It'll kill you!!!" I yelled to him, but it was too late and the sword was out of the stone. Aerrow held it up, blade facing the ceiling. We all gasped in awe. Suddenly a shot of energy went through the blade and into Aerrow!!

He grunted and closed his eyes in pain, before screaming and falling backwards, sword crashing to ground as he did the same. His eyes closed, his chest not moving!

I screamed and ran to him. I lifted his lifeless body up a bit and shook it, trying to get him to breathe.

"Aerrow!! Aerrow!! AERROW!!!!" I screamed at him. I suddenly heard footsteps. I left Aerrow's side and grabbed the invisibility crystal and made everyone, including Aerrow, invisible as the door opened to Dark Ace.

"Are you alright princess?" he asked me.

"Yes, of course. Why do you ask?" I asked him, sniffling and wiping a tear from my face.

"Still upset about your father?" he asked me. I nodded, sniffling. His face went sympathetic. He turned and left. The door closed. I disabled the invisibility crystal and saw everyone had gathered around Aerrow's lifeless body, tears all streaming down their faces. I rushed down to Aerrow and lifted his head and chest up again. Tears streamed down my cheeks. I buried my face in Aerrow's soundless chest. Bawling my eyes out, making his shirt wet.

"Geez Bella. Anyone would think you lost someone you loved with all your heart?" said a familiair voice.

"He can't be gone, I love him!! I'll never leave his side again!! I don't care if I'm killed anymore, as long as I can be with him, I'll be happy!!" I replied back.

"Well, it's nice to know I'm loved!" said the voice. I gasped as I came to terms with who it was and that I could suddenly hear a heart beat. I lifted my face from Aerrow's chest to see cheerful emerald green eyes staring at me, in a teasing way.

I gasped in awe as a tear ran down my cheeks. Aerrow grinned playfully at me.

"It's nice to know you'll die just to be with me." he said to me, tormenting me. Everyone was gasping in awe, then they suddenly started cheering. I didn't know what came over me, I suddenly rushed forward and kissed him! The cheering suddenly got louder and more lively.

I pulled away to see Aerrow looking a bit gob smacked. I giggled shyly, then helped him stand up.

"Aerrow, how did you survive the sword? You're not of royal or noble blood." I asked him.

"I don't know! All I know is that my family and I were on terra Tankus, then I lost my memory and was sent away, from them as well." he answered.

"dude, then how did you know these were your parents?" asked Finn, pointing to Aerrow's parents.

"That's them. I remember I used to know them, quite well. I met Aerrow through them." I answered.

We all then turned to leave when I heard the moving of metal. I turned to see Aerrow had lifted the sword off of the floor and was walking towards me, sword laid out to give it to me.

"I believe this sword belongs to you Bella. You are the heir to terra Tankus, it's your responsibility to rescue everyone in here, and we're going to help." he said to me. I smiled at him, then took the sword from him, latching it to the belt on my dress. I grabbed my invisibility crystal and made them invisible as we walked out of the secret room.

I walked out of the library and towards the hanger bay. I saw the Condor in the distance. I turned to face everyone cause I'd made it I could see their glows.

"ok guys. Get on the Condor when it gets here. When I leave, you guys will be visible. Okay?" I asked them.

"But Bella! The wedding?" asked Finn.

"I'll send you guys an invitation, telling you what time, then you guys can crash the wedding of course!" I answered.

"I won't let you be married, I promise you that!" said Aerrow as he gave me a quick kiss, at least I think it was him. I turned to see the Condor was very close. Talons were starting to launch and I noticed everyone's skimmers in the bay. I pointed to the skimmers, then I walked off.

I heard the sound of them becoming visible, then the sounds of talons getting thrashed, then the sounds of skimmers taking off.

I walked back to the throne room to see Cyclonis there, along with Snipe, Dark Ace, Ravess and my future husband Repton.

Cyclonis turned to look at me, a wicked grin on her face, and I suddenly became uneasy…
