Piper smiled as she heard Aerrow remove the squadron symbol that was normally clipped to her back-a symbol of duty and responsibility... now removed.
Piper stopped tracing her finger over Aerrow's abdomen; resting her hand innocently on one of the prominent muscle. Aerrow opened his eyes and felt a rush of fire flood his body as he gazed intently into her topaz irises.
"I...maybe we should just-" No sooner had the words left her lips had Aerrow carried her underneath him. Piper felt her chest heave as the Sky Knight's red hair entangled into hers.
Their exhales mixed-faces so close yet eons apart.
Piper lay as still as death yet at the same time she had never felt so alive, alarms were droning in her head but were drowned by the sudden fire that engulfed her. Aerrow felt his second thoughts surrender to the majesty of the moment.
Silently the senses, abandoned their defences.
The air was laced with lust and the desire to throw their lives away for one happy day. Shivers jumped down her spine and goose bumps riddled her skin as Aerrow's hands ran slowly down her bare arms. The world was slowly fading away from them and soon they were two people in a cold sea, illuminating the centre with the triumphant light of passion.
Her breath hitched in her throat; a distorted mumble between and a yes and a no as the Sky Knight's lips brushed against hers. Aerrow's warmth was shielding her from the sense of reality and soon she allowed it to blind her...she closed her eyes.
Taste it, feel it, secretly posses them.
A small exhale from Aerrow mixed with her inhale, the precursor for the blissful sensation of his lips pressing into hers.
The connection of two people brought about a current of colour into the cold sea that was now a warm river as floods brewed and lips danced as years of pent up emotions were released for the other to taste.
They let their minds take a journey through a strange new world, purging all thought of the life they knew before as they let their souls take them where they longed to be...only their can they ever be free.
They passed the point of no return.
No backward glances.
Their games of make believe were at an end.
Slivers of ice slithered down her spine as the Sky Knight's tongue traced her bottom lip, savouring the taste that his pallet was condemned to never experience...yet for every sin there is the sentence of repentance... as he looked into her topaz irises he also imagined them being closed in her eternal slumber, sending violent rivers of regret through his core.
Aerrow continued to gaze into Piper's eyes as if they were the most valuable thing he had ever seen.
"Piper…I…I" Aerrow closed his eyes and bit his bottom lip in frustration. Piper's soft hand ran along his cheek then along the bottom of his mouth. Aerrow opened his eyes to see Piper's arms wrapping around his neck making his skin tingle. Piper gave one swift pull with her arms, pulling Aerrow closer to her body, Aerrow's arms held him centimetres from Piper's face.
Aerrow and Piper jumped as the alarms on the condor started ringing through the hallways of the condor. Aerrow looked at Piper a determined look in his eyes; Piper didn't need Aerrow to speak to know what he wanted her to do. Piper slipped out from underneath Aerrow and ran to the bridge while Aerrow started gathering his garments.
"Damn it" Aerrow mumbled to himself struggling with his shirt. Once his arm slid through its sleeve, his eyes franticly scanned the room for his weapons. Panic flushed over him...they were nowhere to be found.
"Shield your eyes" Piper called over her shoulder the rest of the squad as the Solaris crystal on the end of her staff started to glow, suddenly light erupted from the crystal. In the process Piper stunned many of the Cyclonians flying toward the condor
"Finn" Piper turned to see the sharp shooter running toward the canon anger lacing his movements
"On it" Finn said with a wave of his hand. Once Finn reached his destination he jumped on the seat of his canon landing with a thud. Finn made sure the canon was loaded before pulling on the controls sending a burst of crystal energy toward a talon knocking the skimmer out of the sky like it was a fly.
"Junko help Finn" Junko nodded and ran to the canon on the other side of the bridge, he to landed on his seat with a thud. This forced the condor to lean to the left momentarily due to the sudden shift of weight. Junko pulled on the controls hard and fast sending out a burst of crystal energy coming in contact with a talons skimmer. Junko watched it fall out of the sky before shooting down the next.
"Hello Piper," Piper felt her teeth grind hearing the sinister voice behind her.
"You!" Piper said accusingly looking at Jet her eyes locked into his dark eyes anger burning through her whole body.
"What happened to your Sky Knight Piper," Jet said a half innocent tone weaving through the words. Piper gasped before grabbing her staff and running at Jet, each time her feet hit the floor her body experienced a wave of pain.
'What has he done to Aerrow' Piper was getting close to Jet, she could see the evil look in his eyes was dancing playfully, Piper held her staff above her head getting ready to strike.
'No there is no time for that I have to get to Aerrow' Piper could feel tears forming in her eyes, she tried to hold them back as she was getting close to Jet so he couldn't see she was crying.
'Oh you silly, silly girl" Jet thought while shaking his head. In response to this Piper darted to the side of Jet in an effort to go around him. Jet rolled his eyes
'Typical' Jet stuck out one of his arms in order to stop the young navigator in her tracks. Piper went stomach first into Jets arm her body instantly collapsing over Jet's arm. Jet grabbed both of Piper's arms and threw her back to the bridge. When she landed with a painful groan, Jet let a devious smile creep across his face.
"Who do you think you are hurting my girl like that?" The smile instantly faded off Jet's face to be replaced by a snarl. Jet growled and turned around. Aerrow was standing in the doorway his blades in front of him glowing with crystal energy. Jet pulled out his own blade and activated it the light dancing around the metal of the blade angrily. Jet took the first swing. Aerrow blocked it and pushed Jet back, as Jet was regaining his balance Aerrow swung. Jet caught his blades with his and pushed Aerrow further down the hall.
"What's wrong Sky Knight, can't perform your little move with so little room" Jet laughed. Aerrow decided this was the time to act. Aerrow closed his eyes and le the crystal energy well up inside of him. Once Aerrow could feel it had reached its peak he jumped, twisted around in mid air and brought his blades down with great force sending a massive ball of energy toward Jet. Jet jumped out of the way just in time the attack almost hitting Stork. Stork flinched and looked at the damage Aerrow's Lightning Claw had left before focusing on flying. Jet tried to stand up but he could feel something being pressed into his back.
"Look who's laughing now." Aerrow smirked while looking down at the body of Jet spread out across the bridge floor lying completely still.
"Ahhhhh!" Aerrow jumped at Jet's sudden screaming but then was soon replaced with a smile because Piper was slowly making her way to the hanger where she would be able to aid Junko and Finn fight off the Cyclonians. Aerrow started grinning when he noticed a big shadow heading his way. Aerrow leant down closer to Jet, making Jet feel uncomfortable.
"Don't look now but your best friends behind you" Aerrow whispered. Aerrow smiled again when he saw the look of horror cross Jet's face. Jet slowly turned his head around to confirm what Aerrow had said
"Hello" Junko beamed with a friendly wave of his left hand while holding out his right hand as if Junko wanted to shake Jet's hand. Jet attempted to get up but was reminded of Aerrow's blade digging into his back. Wincing in pain jet let his muscles release all tension.
'You haven't let them win you are simply saving you're energy' Jet thought to himself with a little nod of approval to himself.
"Junko tie him up," Jet jumped at the words but was once again restricted by Aerrow's sharp blade which was now digging into his skin. Junko nodded while reaching for a rope. Jet jumped when he felt a pair of hands grab both his wrists and started binding them together with rope.
"What do you plan to do with me?" Jet spat at Aerrow with anger filling the Cyclonians eyes.
'Now I know why Dark Ace hates him so much' Jet thought while sending Aerrow a glare.
"Oh it's simple really, we will be taking you to Terra Atmosia so you can take a little vacation" Aerrow put emphasis on vacation "in Terra Atmosia's high security stockade" Aerrow finished with another smirk
"All done" Junko looked up at Aerrow who gave the Wallop a small nod of approval while removing his blade from in-between Jet's shoulder blades. Jet tried to jump up but was held down by Junko, unable to match the wallops strength Jet relaxed his muscles once more.
"You may want to keep hold of him till we get to Terra Atmosia" Junko nodded at the sky Knight before grabbing the ropes that bound Jet's hands together to drag Jet away Jet let out a small grunt of pain as the wallop pulled him along the cold metal floors of the condor.
"The Cyclonians have retreated" Finn yelled while jumping off his canon seat with a victorious smile spread across his face.
"Great work Finn" Aerrow said with a small nod. Finn looked at Jet in shock and then to Aerrow, Aerrow nodded and Finn walked to the kitchen.
"Stork, set course for Terra Atmosia," Stork looked back at Aerrow before turning the controls to face their destination. Piper came running into the bridge with a victorious smile on her face while twirling her staff in her hands, her smile instantly faded when she saw Jet.
"Don't worry Piper we are taking him to Terra Atmosia" Aerrow said while placing a reassuring hand on her shoulder.
