Chapter 3 – Old friends
Starling stood underneath the tree house of Terra Neverlandis thankful that she got away from those 3 creeps that were chatting her up.
Feeling the urge, Starling pulled a packet of cigarettes from her back pocket, selecting a single one and reached for a lighter.
Patting around her pockets she couldn't find a lighter "oh come on I swear I had one before" starling mumbled to herself not noticing Harrier walking towards her.
Starling finally giving up her search and lifted her head to find a lit lighter right in front of her.
"Looking for one of these, ma'am?" asked Harrier with his usual manners.
Starling placed her cigarette in her mouth and lit it.
Starling lifted her head and blew out the smoke trying not to get it in Harriers face; she lifted the box of cigarettes up and offered Harrier one.
Harrier refused the offer but thanked her anyway.
"If you're not a smoker Harrier then why do you have a lighter?" asked Starling curious of this well mannered Sky knight as she blew out some more smoke.
"That's because it is yours Starling…you dropped it as you rushed to get away from those third degree burner squad members" explained Harrier with a slight smile as he offered her the lighter.
"Oh thank you Harrier...You do know you don't have to be so polite around me?" asked Starling after gathering the lighter and placed it in her bag.
"We have known each other for over 8 years now"
"I know Starling, it is just a habit of mine" chuckled Harrier blushing a little.
"Better than other things I guess" laughed Starling nudging him on the arm.
"That maybe true, Alwell I must say that you look fantastic tonight Starling" Harrier admitted changing the topic.
He ran his eyes up and down Starling's toned but delicate body.
Even though this was a formal party, Starling still managed to wear a belt over her red dress.
"You don't look so bad yourself Harrier…would that be one of your million suits? Oh how did you decide?" Starling started pushing Harriers buttons hoping that he would lighten up.
Harrier was about to bite when they noticed Aerrow and Piper standing up on the balcony.
"What are they looking at...oh not now!" exclaimed Starling as she pointed Harrier in the right direction.
Harrier quickly swung around to find five Cyclonian battle cruisers landing upon the terra.
As the cruiser's lowered down Starling and Harrier could see hundreds of talons pour out.
"Fuck! Ahem I mean damn it I don't have my sword" swore Harrier startling Starling.
She had never heard him swear in the 8 years they have known each other but it gave her a warm feeling to know he was still human.
"I don't have my weapon either…but we cannot let them get to Piper and Aerrow…not tonight" explained Starling as she rolled her shoulders getting ready for a fight.
Harrier stood in front of Starling in a protective manner.
"Starling stand back I'll take these…these buffoons'" Harrier demanded, his arrogant but honorable personality showed itself.
Starling was cut by this but this wasn't the time to fight over it now, she stood beside the Rex guardian "not getting rid of me that easily" showing a smile.
A smile was always Starlings way of hiding her feelings no matter the situation.
Just as her smile disappeared from her face Talon's poured through the fort's gates overwhelming them.
Now surrounded their only thoughts were to stop the talons from getting Aerrow and Piper.
Both Starling and Harrier took a swing at the closest talon but the talons just stood back.
This caught Starling and Harrier off guard; they stood there in the middle with confused looks.
"Why aren't they attacking?" whispered Starling.
"Who knows but I have a feeling we are going to find out soon" Harrier replied pointing towards the talons separating to reveal Ravess and Snipe.
"My what do we have here…the lone survivor and the arrogant moron" Snipe laughed at his own joke even if no one else did.
Both of the Sky Knight's didn't flinch and just stared into the eyes of Ravess and Snipe.
"Quiet brother!" demanded Ravess annoyed with his idea of an entrance "Now Starling and Harrier…what would you two be doing up here all alone?" such a comment brought snickers from the talons surrounding them.
"Like you would care" mumbled Starling still staring at the sharpshooter.
"That's true, I don't care but I do care about the fact that you two are in the way of our objective" Ravess replied annoyance presenting itself even more with each breath.
"You are not getting Piper and Aerrow even if it kills us" Harrier opened his mouth a little too soon because as soon as he spoke Snipe swung his mace at Harrier, hitting square in the stomach.
Harrier felt his rib's crack under the pressure from the mace.
Dropping to his knee's Harrier spat blood.
"Harrier!" exclaimed Starling as she leant down next to the Rex guardian.
"You were saying Harrier?" Ravess laughed at the broken man in front of her.
Starling looked up at the Sharpshooter, rage in her eyes, she charged at Ravess.
Starling was fast but Ravess was faster as she stood behind three talons that took Starlings hits and fired her bow at the interceptor.
The shot hit her right in the chest sending a shot of electricity up her body.
Starling dropped to her knees and fainted.
Harrier watched as the young Sky Knight fell.
He attempted to get up but was quickly reminded of his situation by a sharp pain digging into his chest.
Both Ravess and Snipe laughed as they walked past the two injured Sky Knight's.
"What do we do with them?" asked a talon as he walked with Ravess.
"Leave them…like they can do anything anyway" replied Ravess with a grin across her petite face.
Slowly the talons left the area and Harrier's sight was fading and blurring up.
The last thing he remembers is looking at Starling's limp body and the white flash that appeared from the tree house above him.
Harrier faded into an unconscious state with an uncertain future ahead of him.
