Hey everyone!
Apparently I have made the time frames confusing so I decided I will put a time line just above this chapter to sort out the confusion:
During Party
Chapter 3 - Old Friends
Chapter 6 - Where's Piper?
The hours after the party
Chapter 7 - Mysterious Stranger
Chapter 8 - Neutral Friends
Chapter 2 - The Things we leave behind
Chapter 9 - Drop In
4 weeks after Party
Chapter 1 - All hope is lost
Chapter 4 - Same place, Different Situation
Chapter 5 - Marioneta Crystals and you
Thank you Emil the Fallen for the suggestion
Hope this clears things up
I do not own the Storm Hawks they are property of Nerd Corp
Enjoy and Review!
Chapter 9 – Drop in
(5 minutes after the events of Chapter 8)
Dez jumped on to his skimmer and kicked away the stand.
Piper stood there and stared at the horrible condition the skimmer was in.
"You ride around on this all the time?" Piper slowly got on to the skimmer cautiously, expecting it to fall apart underneath her.
"Don't worry Piper, this baby hasn't conked out…since last week" a silly grin spread across Dez's face.
Before Piper could retort Dez started the engine and they were off.
Such a kick sent Piper rolling back causing her to nearly fall off the skimmer.
Now dangling upside down Piper stared down at the rocky ground of Cyclonia.
"Whoa there you really mustn't like me if you're willing to jump off in to the Wastelands" Dez grabbed on to Piper's leg and pulled her up.
"Thank you Dez" Piper said sarcastically annoyance spread through her words.
Dez just sighed and kept going.
-------------------------------------------------
An hour later
-------------------------------------------------
Piper and Dez found themselves in a thick fog.
"Great, this is just perfect! I'm stuck in a fog cloud with a Cyclonian" Piper blurted out infuriated with the situation she was in.
The word "Cyclonian" caused Dez to pull the brakes forcing both Dez and Piper forward.
"What the hell is your problem Piper? I said I wasn't a Cyclonian and yet you still believe I'm one of those dimwitted talons!" Dez turned around rage in his eye.
"Well I can't help but acknowledge the fact that the only person you have ever mentioned working for is Cyclonis!" Piper almost spat in Dez's face.
"Alright you want to know who else I've worked for. Fine! Let's see I served the Atmosian council for 3 years, I worked for the Gale sky Knights when I was 16 and finally at the age of 20! I worked for the Interceptors! And now look what you've made me do! I've said too much" Dez turned around quickly.
"And 'they' question why I don't work with people anymore" mumbled Dez as he pulled the accelerator forcing them forward.
Piper sat there quietly with her head down.
Silence lasted about 10 minutes before Piper spoke "look Dez…I'm sorry for what I said before…I didn't know you worked for the Interceptors…especially during their…"
"Piper I'd rather not talk about that" Dez slightly moved his head to the left to make sure his voice was clear.
He wasn't expecting her arms to rap around his waist "I'm sorry"
Dez took a deep breath and replied "Don't worry Piper you had every right to be angry considering the situation…and also the fact I bluntly said I was looking for work" Dez smirked and began to roll his shoulders when he noticed something just below them.
It wasn't a skimmer but a bike.
"Excuse me for a second" Dez released himself from her grip and jumped off the skimmer.
Piper just sat there eyes wide staring down where Dez jumped.
A minute passed then two and still no sign of Dez.
A sound of a wheel turning behind her could suddenly be heard.
Piper turned around to find a wheel spinning coiling up a rope.
She looked down again to see the rope was coming from Dez.
Suddenly Dez appeared with two bodies that looked strangely familiar.
Piper motioned to speak before she was cut off by Dez "Piper! Would these two be a part of your crew?"
The bodies began to move.
To the surprise of Piper it was Junko and Finn.
Junko looked up with a cheeky smile and waved.

Author Notes:
Hey all!
damn I'm struggling with this story!
I have idea's for it but the difficulties come from fitting them in the time frames.
So HOPEFULLY this is an alright chapter.
Please tell me if it is or not I really need to know because I'm thinking of redoing it.
Thank you
From the one they call Doilan.
