Chapter 7 – Mysterious Stranger

Piper sat down on top of the roof of the Cyclonian castle.

She picked up the now faded crystal and stared at it.

"What now?" though Piper as she slowed her heart rate to think.

Piper tried to reassure herself "Don't worry Piper, Aerrow is fine!" Piper paused "Ah who am I kidding he was against the whole Talon fleet...but, he is full of surprises...oh I don't know!" Piper dropped her head into her knees.

A pool of tears grew at the bottom of Piper's eyes.

"How could he do something like this? when he knows I could of helped!" Piper moaned.

She watched as each tear fell, hitting the ground producing a small explosion of clear liquid.

Suddenly a sound of a skimmer's engine could be heard coming closer.

Piper lifted her head at the sound as she brushed away her tears.

"Oh no! Their back already!" thought Piper as she quickly jumped over the far side of the roof.

Piper looked up to see how many there were.

She only saw a single skimmer flying towards the Cargo Bay.

But something was odd about this skimmer it didn't have the usual red and black color's across it.

"Maybe it's another Sky Knight!" Piper raised her head a bit more to get a clearer view.

She stared down at the closing in skimmer.

The total lack in color on the skimmer gave the impression that this mysterious rider wasn't Sky Knight but wasn't a Cyclonian either. The rider was also someone with little detail because of the hood this person wore.

Piper pondered on the matter for a moment while the skimmer proceeded to land in the Cargo Bay.

When she finally broke from her train of thought she convinced herself to investigate.

When Piper finally made it down the castle via the pipe lines she just caught a glimpse of the mysterious person leave the Cargo Bay. She followed making sure there were no Cyclonian's that were left behind while she went.

Piper followed this mysterious person around for about 10 minutes until she realized they were going around in circles.

Piper peered around the corner to see the mysterious person scratch their head, obviously lost.

Piper sighed and revealed herself "What harm could come from it, I'm doomed anyway thanks to Aerrow's actions" though Piper.

"You look lost" Piper motioned a wave.

The mysterious person turned around in a flash revealing a pistol.

The sudden movement caught Piper off guard.

"Whoa there, alright sorry I shouldn't have crept up on you" Piper slowly raised her hands.

The mysterious person realized they had done wrong and withdrew their weapon.

"My apologies…wait you're the navigator for the Storm Hawks aren't you?" asked the mysterious person, their voice revealed that they were male.

Piper didn't know if she should answer honestly.

The mysterious man stood up properly after calming himself down "Yes, you are the navigator from the Storm Hawks can't forget that kind of face now is it Pearl or Penny or something like that?"

Piper just stood there confused by this weird man.

"Oh come on, what? is it because I accidently pointed my pistol at you isn't it?" The man shrugged.

Piper laughed at the gesture "Yes, I am the navigator and my name is Piper" she slowly walked towards the man.

"Oh Piper right must remember that name" the man motioned to shake hands.

Piper grabbed on to his hand and shook it "And what would be your name?"

The man laughed and revealed his face.

The first thing Piper noticed was his scar that crossed his right eye but the rest of the features began to present themselves to her soon such as his dark blue hair, his stern cheek bones and his good eye which was an orange tone. "My name is Dezmond overton but you can call me Dez" a stupid smile grew across his rugged face "so Piper what brings you to Cyclonia?"

Author Notes:

Hey everyone!

Is everyone cool with Dez? man I hate naming characters...almost as hard as trying to write with writer's block which got me again.

But you must understand that I probably should of split the last one in to 2 chapters because it has made such a strain on me to try and think where to go next.

*Whispers* I was tempted to put Dezmond as me but I thought I shouldn't becuase your always afraid to hurt yourself when you place yourself in a story lol

Hope everyone enjoyed the chapter and please review!

From the one they call Doilan.
