Chapter 6: Family, Betrayal and Brush with death.
It was a month after the birth of Blade and Tides daughter Aeria who was named for her Grandmother.
Every moment he could be there for his wife and little girl he was with them and being a good father and husband. As the days turned into months he was there when they needed him. He swore when Aeria was born that history would not repeat itself and that he would be a better father than lightning.
When Aeria Turned One on her First birthday Blade after spending time with his little girl had Left to Join His Squadron as they needed him. Many times blade had wanted to say screw being a SkyKnight just to be there more for is family when the pressure got too much. Blade was happy with his life but one thing that bothered Him was the Constant Attacks By Cyclonis trying to capture him only to have it fail because of his Newfound resolve and skills. Aside from the fact the When he was in battle he was someone else which Brought Out his darker side. When the cyclonian`s weren't attacking he had a hard time with one of his squad mates and that one was piper. She practically scowled at him and seemed to hate him now to the point that she shot at him with a crystal then one day he was made to leave the condor forever when piper framed him for something he didn't do. Aerrow understood that it wasn't him but the code was clear he had to leave. He threw the blue striker crystal at the table with their emblem on it watched shatter with satisfaction as he removed the storm haws emblem from his skimmer removed there colors and had his old armor from Cyclonia on but without the talon emblem and he coloured it black and shined the armor plates and as two of the crew cried he looked at them with hate in his eyes and flew off never to be seen by them for a long time.
He returned home and he was branded a rouge by the council and he didn't have to follow the rules anymore so he fought Cyclonia on his own and Raised his little girl when wasn't in the sky.
Blade seemed to dislike the storm hawks from then on but not all of them.
Blade For the next year got into many brawls with Surrogate mother and master Cyclonis to the point where he couldn't look at himself in the mirror anymore but was happy only when he held his wife and daughter in his arms. Blade Had Enough Pain inside and had enough of it not just for himself but for the whole of Atmos so he took His Beloved Uncle and Adoptive Fathers Title. He became the next Dark Ace but served the people and not an evil tyrant. Blade knew that what he fought for was his daughter's future. With that in mind it was at the final battle that He killed over half of the night crawlers
And talons until he fought Cyclonis Who then Tried once again to persuade him to join her once again as he wore The Dark Aces Armour Into battle and showed him a Girl that was her heir that had his facial features. It was after her failed attempt that Blade was stabbed in the chest with her staff and he could see the girls eyes widen as blade was stabbed. Cyclonis then said "you should have returned to my service blade and would have given everything you desired and more and now you forced me to kill you my love with my own hands" she then kissed him as he lost consciousness from blood loss it was then Tide Ran to blades side and tried to make sure he didn't die but as he wasn't responding she knew that there was only one way to save him and that was to make him immortal like herself so she bit him giving him some of her blood even though there was a 25% chance he would survive and she would die in the process and as he woke Cyclonis snatched him and took him prisoner and took blade with her to the far side Aerrow swore to her she would get blade back to his family and they would but as they came back to find Atmos different from what they remembered and peaceful. But this story is far from over.
