Chapter 21 – what is lost can be found

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

In Cyclonis' room

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

Fighting could be heard from outside, Master Cyclonis knew she had to work quickly. She grabbed her staff again which was still laying against the wall and walked over to Aerrow who was staring at her with his blood red eyes "Don't you ever blink?" she asked as she reached the Sky Knight, there was silence for a few seconds as Aerrow had a strained look on his face "I am afraid I can't Master Cyclonis" Master Cyclonis gave him a strange look "odd...Alwell I like the new Aerrow anyway" she thought as she took another step closer to Aerrow "so what can you remember Aerrow" she asked now a step away Aerrow thought for a few seconds "the last thing I remember was sitting in a dark alley all by myself, I think I was 6 anyway next thing I know it I'm getting punched in the stomach...but I can't remember why" Master Cyclonis was amused by this but she did not show it, suddenly the door swung open to reveal Piper who was panting loudly, that's when she saw Gadget's body "Gadget!" she screamed as she slowly walked through the door this enraged Master Cyclonis "I see Dark Ace can't even look after the navigator anymore" this brought a smile to Piper's face "you must be having such a brilliant day Cyclonis, I'm sure Aerrow has been giving you grief all day..." that's when she noticed that Aerrow wasn't tide up "Aerrow?" she asked.

That's when he turned around, Piper gasped while placing her hand over her mouth "what have you done to him?" she yelled now on her knees, Master Cyclonis began to laugh "what have I done? It's more of the question what have you done Piper?" Master Cyclonis retorted "you're the one that took his memory" Piper was in a state of shock.

"What on earth are you talking about Cyclonis?"

"Oh don't play dumb with me Piper; you know exactly what I'm talking about" that's when Master Cyclonis revealed the Marionette Crystal.

Piper knew exactly what it was straight away "How did you get that? She asked.

Cyclonis grinned "I stole it from your lab where you held Aerrow all those years" this got Aerrow's attention.

"I was a captive?" he asked.

Master Cyclonis turned to him and looked into his blood red eyes "yes, for over 12 years you were lucky we found you when we did"

"Don't listen to her Aerrow, it's all a lie!" Piper screamed who was now back on her feet.

"She tortured you day in and day out, that is why you don't have any recollection of these events, each day she would wipe your mind of any memory of the torture just so she could see the same pain stricken face each time, I'm so sorry Aerrow" that's when Master Cyclonis rapped her arms around Aerrow as he did the same "but it is alright now, you have the chance to get rid of your inner demons...by killing the person that gave them to you" Master Cyclonis shot an evil smile towards Piper, this infuriated Piper causing her to expand her staff and charge at Master Cyclonis.

As she reached them she swung her staff, hoping to hit Master Cyclonis and not Aerrow. Her attack was stopped half way through flight by Aerrow who was stopping the staff with his hands "I will not let you hurt my saviour!" he yelled as he threw back the staff causing Piper to stumble back "Aerrow what are you doing?" she screamed tears were developing at the bottom of her eyes, he didn't reply he just stormed forward and took a swing, Piper just barely dodged it "This is hopeless" she thought as she dodged another of Aerrow's attacks "I'm not going to be able to get him back not now" that's when she spotted the Marionette Crystal once more "If I can't have Aerrow then I will have his memory instead!" Piper dodged another attack before charging at Master Cyclonis.

Cyclonis saw her coming and readied her staff but Piper was to quick sending a kick in to her stomach "Master Cyclonis!" exclaimed Aerrow as he ran to her aid. Piper grabbed Cyclonis' staff and pulled off the Marionette Crystal and ran for it making her way out the same way she came in.

"Master Cyclonis are you alright?" Aerrow asked as he reached the winded Cyclonis.

"I'm fine Aerrow" she replied as held her hand up hoping to be helped up.

"But what about my memory?" Aerrow asked as he helped her up.

"Do you really want that memory back Aerrow, all that torture, all that pain?" Cyclonis replied as she sat down on top of her desk.

"I guess not" murmured Aerrow as he looked at the door.

In the Hangar bay

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

"This everyone?" asked Finn who was helping all the captives on board the Condor.

Starling looked around "everyone except for Piper and Aerrow" concern flowed through her voice.

That's when Piper stormed through the corridor door.

"Piper!" exclaimed Starling as she and the rest of the crew ran towards her "where's Aerrow?" asked Dez, Piper remained silent as she pushed through the group "He's not coming"

"What? Why not?" Finn asked confused

"Don't worry Finn" replied Piper as she walked up the stairs in to the Condor with the rest following.

"Don't worry? DON'T WORRY! He is our Sky Knight Piper!" spat Finn still trailing behind Piper.

"Stork, set off" ordered Piper.

"But..."

"That's an order Stork!" Piper was losing her patience.

Stork set off, no more questions were asked as Piper walked to her room.

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

Few hours later

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

Piper was lying on her bed, tears rolling down her eyes as she watched clips of Aerrow's memory through a crystal projector.

A scene popped up of Aerrow at the age of 10.

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

Flashback

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

It was a beautiful day as it always was on their home Terra.

The birds were out playing among the trees, there was a cool breeze, and the storm Hawks were playing a game of tag.

"Aerrow!" a voice cried out.

Aerrow turned quickly to see Piper pointing beside him, Aerrow turned to find Finn coming at him fast.

"Can't get away from me Aerrow, I always get my prey that is why I'm called the Sharpshooter!" Finn lunged at Aerrow, pointing his finger at him. But Aerrow was to quick dodging his finger easily causing Finn to fall into the dir., dusting himself off Finn asked "how do you do that Aerrow?"

"It's easy when you're up against such a cluts" Piper's laugh could be heard in the background. That's when Aerrow made a cunning plan "Hey Finn" he whispered "let's both get Piper" Finn's eyes glittered like he was at a Christmas feast "Oh yeah!" that's when both the boys turned to Piper trying to keep a straight face.

"What are you two up to?" Piper asked coming out of her hiding spot, both of the boys chuckled struggling to keep it in "oh nothing Piper just came to say that" Aerrow paused and looked at Finn who had his hand over his mouth "we came to say that we need to use your typewriter" Piper raised an eyebrow when Aerrow said this, suddenly she caught on to what they were on about "Oh no argh get away!" she screamed playfully as she ran off both the boys chasing after her.

Piper looked behind her to see the boys had disappeared, now slowing to a halt she started wondering where they were suddenly both Finn and Aerrow jumped out from behind her "boo!" they yelled which gave Piper such a fright that she jumped back falling on to her butt.

"owe!" she cried as tears started to roll down her face, panicking Finn made a run for it while Aerrow knelt down beside the hurt Piper "you alright Piper?" he asked, Piper shook her head refusing to look at him directly "where does it hurt?" Piper revealed her hand which was grazed Aerrow squinted as he saw the blood drip down her hand "looks painful" he admitted

"Not helping Aerrow!" she squealed

"Oh sorry Piper, what would you like me to do to make it better?"

"Kiss it better"

"What?" Aerrow was caught off guard.

"Kiss it better, you said that you would make it better!" she was looking at him now

Aerrow sighed as he knew he wouldn't be able to get off this. He turned her hand over and kissed her hand quickly with a dry mouth but this didn't matter to Piper as it made her feel better.

Embarrassed Aerrow ran off to go find Finn.

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

End of Flashback

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

Piper cleared a tear from her eye "that was the first day I realised I liked him" she thought to herself "wish I could go back to it" Piper sighed as she turned the projector off and lay back down on her bed.

Suddenly there was a knock on Piper's door "Piper?" it was Starling.

"Leave me alone!" Piper replied harshly.

"Come on Piper you need to tell us what has happened"

What Starling said was true they needed to know; Piper slowly got up and walked towards the door ready to face the music.

Author's Notes:

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

Hello all!

Please don't hate me for this chapter! lol I wanna drag this out longer so if Piper doesn't get Aerrow back in this chapter just so I can make it longer then i guess it is worth it sorry Piper!

well the flashback's are back, yes I know that most 10 year boys would just squeem and run away like Finn but considering that the Storm Hawks were relatively mature for 14 year olds (so the age they were in the show).

please review! it's the main reason why I keep writting that and actually enjoying writting about characters beyond what they were like in Tv shows etc lol

From the one they call Doilan.
