Chapter 19 – Reuniting old friends

Radarr's eyes gleamed with surprise as he saw Piper getting off of her heliscooter, as he ran towards the navigator she noticed him coming towards her. Greeting Radarr with a hug that could melt an ice block Piper felt loved but also grief as Radarr reminded her of Aerrow, placing him on her shoulder she walked towards the rest of the captives which was a little difficult at first as Radarr's weight caught her off guard.

She was greeted in the same way she had before from the Night Hunter's even after their endeavor "You guys just don't change do you?" joked Piper as she received a hug from Dragonfly that nearly killed Radarr. Seth laughed at the comment and was about to reply when he saw Dez, charging towards Dez, Seth took a swing with his good arm narrowly missing him Dez was in shock as he spoke "What in the Wastelands! I haven't even got off my skimmer...and...I...get attacked" Dez saw who had swung at him, suddenly Dez's personality changed "ha-ha Seth...what are you doing here?" he said nervously.

Seth sighed "I was captured when I was at Piper's party...wait...don't change the topic where's my money Dez!"

Everyone's attention went to Dez "ha-ha..." Dez swallowed his saliva before continuing "Seth...I said that...I-I-I would get you the money soon you just had to w-w-wait"

"I've been waiting 3 years you two timing crook!" Seth was furious now.

Confused by the whole situation Starling stood between the two "what are you two on about?" she barked with authority.

This made both of them go silent "Well?" she exclaimed.

Seth spoke up "this greedy pig stole all of our half of the share in a bounty 3 years back, said he "needed the money for repairs and food" and that "he would pay us back""

"And you gave him the money?" asked Starling still confused.

"We had done multiple bounty hunts before with him; we thought we could trust him..."

Starling turned to her brother "is this true Dez?"

He looked down as though he was 12 again "...yes, but I did need it for repairs and food..."

"And you swore you would pay us back within the week!" Joker joined in now.

"I did have the money but..."

"But what Dez?" asked Starling.

Dez started playing with his fingers "...I lost it all in a game of Poker"

This sent Seth into a rage "you little..." he lunged at Dez but was held back by Joker and Dragonfly.

"Whoa calm down big fella...I don't want any harm done to my brother"

The word 'Brother' hit Seth like a mallet "You're...his sister, Starling?"

Starling nodded.

Seth stood there stunned "Riiight, now that changes the situation a little..."

"Yes it does" replied Starling.

Throughout this argument Piper just stood there with Radarr, observing everyone's actions. It amazed Piper every time when Starling could always take control of the situation so easily, "perhaps there is a hidden story between those two" she thought; suddenly Piper was reminded of the situation at hand by Finn and Junko landing in the Hangar bay.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Cyclonis' Room

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Aerrow shuffled around on the floor in an amazing amount of pain as the Marionette crystal slowly took control.

Master Cyclonis observed the effects of the crystal, Aerrow's eyes were not pure white any more they had produced blood red veins which grew with each second of the tormenting process. Master Cyclonis laughed hysterically "The procedure would be complete as soon as his eyes were blood red and then I will have the ultimate Talon".

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Back out at the Hangar bay

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Finn did not manage to even get off of his skimmer when he was tackled by Mary-Ann.

"I knew you would come!" she cried with happiness.

"I could not leave such a beautiful babe like you behind" replied Finn flirtatiously. Piper felt like she was going to be sick.

Junko was a different story, Dragonfly didn't even get the chance to let go of Seth before she had Junko's arms wrapped around her waist.

"Hello Junko" whispered Dragonfly as she sank into his shoulders.

Junko attempted to keep his tears in "I swear Dragonfly it was Finn's idea to leave you guys behind, I am so sorry" Finn was too busy with Mary-Ann to notice Junko selling out.

Dragonfly turned around, still in Junko's arms and stared into his eyes "Junko, Don't worry about it you did the right thing I would of been annoyed if you came back to save us two"

"B-b-but..."

"No buts Junko, just shut up and kiss me!" Junko lifted her up as he heard this and kissed her.

Joker looked away in disgust "Oh god..."

Seth turned to Joker "what's up Joker? You offended by this?" he commented mockingly

Joker placed his hand next to his eyes "yes, in fact I am, I don't like watching someone who is practically my sister make out thank you" this made everyone laugh except for Starling.

"Guys you can have your 'alone-time' later, we have a mission to complete isn't that right Piper" there was no reply "Piper?" Starling and the rest looked around but Piper was nowhere to be found.

"Oh you stupid girl" thought Starling as she saw the door to the hallways was open.

Piper's POV

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I ran at full speed not even stopping to see if there were Talon's around the corner, I had to find Aerrow fast or it may be too late no matter the cost. I had to leave the other's behind I just had to I hope they can forgive me, I looked up at Radarr who gave me a reassuring smile like he always would with Aerrow as I sped down the corridors hoping to find Cyclonia's room.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Aerrow's POV

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I-I-I can't feel my legs any more and the pain is getting to great! I can't take it anymore...I'm...sorry Piper.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
