Chapter: 5 finding her and Death of the father.

I was on a mission with aero and starling to help the scientists of bogaton escape and while starling and I distracted Repton he recognized me as he was the one that slew my mother and said "I remember you boy so how is mommy dearest" and I said "she will be better once I kill you and she can rest in peace"

As I knocked him through the wall by using my special move called Crimson Rain which emits and ball of energy that hits its target and never misses or a huge energy slash that can cut through anything in any direction. I was about to finish him off with a stab through the chest when starling grabbed my hands and said "You're a SkyKnight now blade and part of our code is that we don't kill our foes" I stopped and said with anger not towards her but to Repton " attack anyone or anywhere else that is innocent and I will find you and kill you and that's a promise" as repton looked at me in fear of death I then heard a whimper and ran to the source of the sound and found a girl with blonde hair and blue eyes with ripped clothing and saw her injuries which I could tell she was abused physically and was probably about to be raped by the Raptors which infuriated me to no end. I picked her up bridal style and carried her out while saying soothing things to her and when she stopped whimpering and looked at me she said "blade is that you" I recognized the voice and knew it was Tide Nexus my childhood friend and said "tide is..Is..Is that you…Oh my god Tide what did they do to you?" After reassessing her injuries and heping and getting her into some clothes she said "what didn't they do Repton was about to rape me when you showed up" I was beyond furious at this point with the raptors and Cyclonia. For the next month I never left her side unless it was really important as I was helping her recover from her injuries. Every day when she woke up to me by her side holding her left hand in my right hand she would smile and I would smile as well. When she was better and able to walk around we caught up and she told me how she was captured by the cyclonian`s and then handed to repton as a gift from Cyclonis. She told me she was looking for me all these years and I started to cry because I felt that her suffering was my fault. She embraced me and told me it was ok and that everything would be fine. It was that moment I realised how much I cared for her and that I actually loved her so one day after going on patrol and beating the talons again I asked her out on a date and she agreed. I took her to the best restaurant in Atmos and it was perfect and it was one of the best days of my life as she wore a blue dress and me I wore a tuxedo and had my hair all combed out and tidy. It was a week later that when I was on patrol with the piper and the others we engaged the enemy only to find it was a public execution and when I saw it was My Godfather/adoptive father the Dark Ace I charged and hacked every talons ride out of the sky until I saw Cyclonis on stage and she said let the Execution commence as she said "Any last words dark ace" and said With tears in his eyes " I LOVE YOU BLADE MY ONE AND ONLY SON" it was then she killed him by slitting his throat and I gave a Cry that Every one heard and it shook them Down to the very core and I charged Cyclonis and her guards it was then as we dueled I severely injured her as I lost myself to rage in battle and was about to strike a killing blow when I Tide grabbed me and kissed me and said "blade please don't kill again and become what you once were I love you please come home with me and the others and we will grieve together" It was then I cried tears of joy that she loved me and tears for my adoptive father and my beloved Uncle. I said "Yes tide I love you too and I will come home because home is anywhere when im with you and the others" the rest of the squadron took down the talons as the rest retreated and I flew back to the condor with aces body and tide riding behind me on my skimmer and hugging me and looking after me. When I told stork to travel to co-ordinates he didn't recognized I told him and the crew "It's the co-ordinates to The Home Terra of the Strike family and The base Of the original Storm hawks The Terra is called Terra Avalon" and piper squealed as she finally would get to look at the legendary library of the strike family which held the Knowledge of everything you could imagine from crystals and weapons to tales and Legends. Aerrow and I were happy to be heading home at last and when we arrived we found it in perfect condition. Everyone walked the halls of our home as if the dead were to rise and I went and found my old room and everything was as I remembered. After I was done examining everything I walked out to the garden and dug a grave and buried my uncle and after saying a few prayers put a head stone down and marked it.

It took a week and eventually the others left with Aerrow but I and Tide stayed On the Terra and told them to call me when they needed me. It was awhile before I returned the Condor and went on missions again. It was a year later that after dating for year and a half I decided to propose to tide

So we went to the restaurant we went to on our first date and After finishing dinner got down on one knee and said "Tide Nexus would you do me the honor of making me the happiest man in Atmos" and I pulled out a gold wedding band and she squealed and said "yes..yes a thousand times yes" and we were engaged it took about six months till we were married and I was with the Squadron on the condor when we got a radio transmission that stork told me to come to the bridge and he was smiling and when he handed me the radio I said hello And tide said "Blade I don't know how to tell you this but im pregnant and you're going to be a dad" I beamed and said " Tide that's wonderful we going to have a child and you and I going to be parents" she said she was happy too and that she needed to leave It was then I decided to tell , the others and they all congratulated me but piper Was upset for some reason.

It was at this moment my life became even brighter.
