The condor

After receiving the news that Piper was getting married to Master Cyclonis, the crew of the condor had gone into a state of hysteria.

"Pipers getting married" babbles Arrow

"Yeah" says Stork

"She's getting married" Arrow continues

"You okay Arrow?" Stork asks wondering about their leaders dwindling mental state

"She's into girls"

"Radar if you would be so kind" Stork says to the sky monkey.

Who in turn decides to do the only thing he can to snap Arrow out of it. He takes a bite out of Arrow legs.

"Owwww, alright I'm back" cries Arrow after a moment of flailing about on the floor in pain.

"Stork get us to Cyclonia, Piper's obviously been brainwashed by Cyclonis I mean why else would she be getting married to Cyclonis"

After saying this the leader of the storm hawks marches off to come up with a rescue plan leaving the rest of the team confused about the whole situation.

Cyclonia

Piper sat in the Cyclonian medical chambers while the royal doctor examined her medical charts. Ever since she found out she was pregnant she decided she should make sure she was healthy. That and the fact that Cyclonis was getting a bit protective as of late. At first it was just asking if I was okay after I felt nauseas, then it evolved to never being more than 10 feet away from me.

I look at the doctor looking at my charts he's an older man with a bald head with a graying beard.

"So, how am I doing" I ask wanting to know my results

He looks to me and then to the charts before saying.

"Your test results all came back fine and normal, but there was something abnormal" he says his face growing serious

"And that would be?" I ask

"From what I can tell the child seems to be developing at a much faster rate than normal."

My hand goes to my stomach upon hearing this.

"It's nothing to worry about but at the rate it's growing the child will be born in a little under 4 months."

"Well that's good to hear" I say relived

"Yes your baby girl will soon be here" he states smiling and nodding his head. It takes a moment to register what he just said, I thank him for the tests and then rush to tell Cyclonis the news.

I pass more people preparing for the wedding, servants carrying decorations, nobles bickering about seating arrangements and Raveis conducting her band snapping at anybody off key.

I find Cyclonis in the crystal lab working on a new crystal matrix.

As if sensing me she turns around and smiles before coming to hug me.

"What did the physician say? Any good new?" she says with a smile.

"Yes, our little girl will be here in under 4 months." I say from the embrace we were in.

"A girl! That's amazing but for you to deliver so soon it's not normal" she says her facing turning form excited to nervous

"Yeah well she wasn't conceived the normal way now was she, which reminds me how exactly did it happen?" I ask determined to finally get the exact science behind this.

"Well to put it simply, the oblivion crystal uses the essence of the user to overpower and destroy the object in question. In your case seeing as I saw you as a friend my essence couldn't destroy you so it fused to you creating our soon to be girl."

"Well at least I finally know how it happened" I say relieved to know.

Hours pass as everyone goes about planning for the upcoming wedding. Piper and Cyclonis are out on the balcony talking about new crystals that could be used when a familiar sound fills the air.

"I know that horn it's the Condor" I say excited by the fact I would be able to see the guys again.

"It's coming in pretty quickly how's it going to park if it keeps this up." Cyclonis states slowly backing up.

I look back to the ship and realize what she said was true and decided to back up as far as I could go.

Luckily near the last minute the Condor turns sideways and slides across the sky coming to a halt before the balcony. Arrow and radar are the first ones off the ship their weapons drawn. Upon seeing me the scream

"Piper! We here to rescue you." He says oblivious to the fact that they themselves had nearly run me over.

"Arrow! Didn't you get my message I don't need rescuing" I state wondering if guys really were this stupid.

Cyclonis, who had been momentarily stunned by the impressive swinging of the ship finally seemed to notice what was going on.

"So glad you could join us Arrow, but for the record Cyclonia does have a front door." She states walking up beside me.

"Cyclonis I'm here to save Piper from your brainwashing scheme." He states with his usual cocky smile.

I look to Cyclonis and she looks to me before we both burst into laughter.

"what" Arrow states confused why they were laughing at him.

"Arrow, Cyclonis didn't brainwash me, in fact everything she's doing is for me."

"what do you mean?" he asks sheathing his weapons.

Cyclonis puts her hand on my shoulder before, she nods her head in a way that states to be as blunt as possible.

"Arrow the main reason she's ending this war is because this was the only way she knew to keep me safe."

Arrow's eyes seem wander to the two of us from Cyclonis to me before he says. "Okay but why would she need you safe?"

I ponder what to say for a moment, how do you say that you were pregnant with the heir to Cyclonia. I muster my courage look him in the eyes, take Cyclonis hand in mine and say the words I know would work.

"Because Arrow, I'm pregnant with her child, I have been for two months now.
