Chapter 2:
Aces P.o.v
Lightning is so cruel to young blade and that makes me hate him all the more even if he is blades real father He doesn't act like it at all. He yells and screams at blade and treats him like dirt all because of some stupid vision. I mean blade a talon please the boy is so innocent and kind hearted. Aria even said that I act more of a father to blade than lightning and even though he is not my own son I love him as if he was. He thought all this until they reached the house he called home.
Blades p.o.v.
"mommy" blade called and aria appeared from out of the kitchen and took him from aces shoulders and held her son in an embrace and by this time it was about time for him to sleep so she and ace tucked him in and after aria left ace stayed and watched over blade until ace heard blade accidently call him "father". He smiled and said "You know im not actually your dad" "I know but I wish you were" at that ace smiled and tucked blade in and before blade slept he said "Goodnight father", the very next day Aria and Ace were called to join the rest of the sky knights and told Ace should anything happen to her that she wanted him to raise blade as his own because she knew deep down that lightning would abandon Him. It was several hours later that blade was never the same again as he saw his mother supposedly die before he was dragged away by his elder cousin starling but little did he know he would see his mother once again twelve years later. That night blade knew his father was killed by his uncle although he disliked his father deep down he never really hated lightning. When Ace Now known as the dark Ace showed up blade was told he needed to be knocked out and agreed to go with ace and Ravess instead of remaining with starling because she was too young to raise him even though they were like brother and sister and would be once again in the future. Once blade was awake ace adopted him and so did Ravess but deep down she knew she could never replace his real mother even though she was a storm hawk like Ace she wanted to raise him with ace.
Blade a week later was introduced to the current master Cyclonis who immediately took a liking to him and was accepted as a citizen of the empire on the condition he be renamed and hence due to his new appearance with red eyes and jet black hair was named Jet Strike and reborn as Aces and ravess`s son.
After the ceremony he met his future master and the princess of cyclonian who took a liking to him. She introduced herself as Lark Cyclonis. (Cause no one knows her real name) and he in turn introduced himself. It was throughout that year he was truly happy once again until his fifth birthday when he left to join the talon academy. During his last few hours at the castle he never left larks side and their friendship unbeknownst to blade became more to her than just friendship. She told him to visit her on her birthday and she knew he would so after saying goodbye with a hug she said to him "please don't leave me here alone" even though she knew it was his duty being son of the Talon commander and as it was hers to commit herself to her studies and to her future rule of the Cyclonian empire. It was at this point she decided she loved blade and would let him rule next to her one day if she could get him to.
Blade waved goodbye and then left on his mother's skimmer with his father in tow on his own. Blade quickly learned how to fly and flew better than his Father at this instant to which ace took him on his skimmer and held blade close and praised his son and he was happy until they got to the academy.
For the next ten years training was hell. He had to go through training so brutal it was meant to break someone and make them a loyal fighter but I did not break blade due to his courage and strength of will and his physical strength. A year into his training and he passed all his courses and was put into the advanced courses and fought to the death in the arena where he Honed his skill with a sword and hand to hand. He became friends with several people including Lynn garret (Yes the one from that episode with the kid talons) before his graduation. At the age of 10 he attained the rank of sergeant and by age 12 was put into the elite military courses and attained the rank of Warrant officer at the age of 14 and then the day of his graduation came and the disaster of larks eighth birthday came to mind as he saw the innocent non evil girl he loved destroyed all because the sky knights killed cyclonis`s grandmother and she turned the person responsible and blade saw nothing but evil in her eyes now and when she snapped at him for not bowing to his master he did so out of fear as when she changed so did he.
He became different as his training made him cold and reserved as well as loyal to his nation. He showed no mercy which impressed his father but somewhat horrified Ravess to see her son do such things as hack a man's limbs off in battle then finish them. It was his graduation day and he fell into formation with the rest of the officers and took his position as squadron commander and they saluted when the inspection party arrived and to his surprise it was master Cyclonis and his parents. She walked up to the podium and gave a speech and kept her gaze on him as he had grown tall and muscular and well-toned over the years. He felt her gaze and wanted to shudder but could not move until she was finished. After she was finished the cadets marched a small parade for their queen. Blade came up with the rest of the graduates and was the first to have his wings pinned on which were rare Royal talon Elite wings which marked him as a member of the Royal guard and of the dark aces Squadron. She looked him the eyes and smiled and went and whispered something Ravess`s ears which caused her eyes to widen and after the others got their wings they were dismissed he went to his room to have his mother and father hug him and congratulate him and Was told by his mother that Cyclonis wanted to see him on her personal carrier.
But for what he did not know…..
