Chapter 29
Blinx was hiding behind someone in the crowd, Radarr curled around her shoulders being her look out.
Someone grabbed her wrist and pulled her further into the crowd, she recognised Storks pointed green ears and saw Finn a little further off.
"Good eyes Stork" Finn commented, and they made their way carefully and quickly to the balcony.
"What are we doing?!" Blinx quietly shouted as Finn climbed to stand on the stone
"We have to get out of here and to Aerrow and Junko. They're down there fighting of Talons-"
He pointed down into the gardens where, indeed, Aerrow and Junko were engaged in a battle against some Talons along with a few other guests who could fight "-and we need to get down there to tell them what's goin' on up here"
'Those Talons down there are the distraction, of course!' Blinx thought to herself as Finn jumped off the rail down onto the path below.
Stork gave a small "Eep" at the sight of the drop.
But Blinx got an idea.
"Radarr, I'm gonna need some sort of disguise. Do you think you can find me something?" Radarr chirped, saluted and took off back into the ballroom "Stork, you can stay out here, jump down there or do whatever, just look after yourself"
"What are you gonna do?!" Stork's panic was seeping into his voice.
"Anything" was her simple reply.
Radarr appeared at her feet, dragging a dress cloak "I'm surprised they didn't see you with that" she commented throwing on the cloak over her dress pants and shirt. She removed her tie and waistcoat, shoving it into Stork's chest. She was still astounded Aerrow had allowed her to wear the outfit.
She pulled up the hood and looked back over to Stork who had started to hyperventilate.
"Try and calm him down" she told Radarr before she stepped into the Ballroom again and hid at the back of the pack.
She caught on quickly to what The Dark Ace was saying
"-kidnapped from Cyclonia, the same day the Storm Hawks rescued your stupid little friends. Any information you may have as to her where abouts, you should tell us now"
"You take ours we'll take yours!" Harrier stated loudly
'Stupid pompous fool!' They were the only words she could think of to use to describe the dumb blonde.
One of the Lizard men advanced on Harrier and picked him up by his throat.
"Besides" Harrier gurgled "As if I'd allow a filthy Cyclonian into my home"
Blinx had heard enough. No matter how much of an idiot Harrier may have been, and no matter how much of a "filthy Cyclonian" she may be, she couldn't allow him or anyone else to be killed.
She threw her hand up and the lizard man was thrown back into his friends behind him.
People flew into panic and ran in every direction.
Blinx following suit, as to not draw attention to herself.
She slid on her knees under the only undamaged and unturned table.
The Cyclonians flew into rage and began to attack, the squadrons within the hall also on attack mode.
Blinx watched from under the table, occasionally moving people or things either out of the way or toward the respective Sky knight, she even saw a flash of red hair through the crowd.
She looked up toward the ceiling and an idea formulated in her mind when she saw the ribbon banner.
She made a fireball in her hand, and then let it fly.
