Chapter 70: Atmos

Hey everyone I'm back, sorry about the wait. I had gotten into this new story I was writing. Anyway the episodes this takes place over are episodes 1-2 Age of Heroes from Storm Hawks with my own twists. I hope all like what I have planned. Please Review and Enjoy.

After leaving Kuzcotpia tensions between Courtly and the others had gone down drastically when Blondie told everyone what Courtly said in Kuzcotopia.

On the Tempest everyone was relaxing as they celebrated another victory.

"I can't believe you guys sprinted all the way to the palace." Sparrow said.

"Are you kidding for me and Cerise it was a piece of cake." Ramona said putting her hands behind her head.

"So, Roxas what's the deal with that Pete guy you ran into?" Apple asks.

"He's basically Maleficent's minion, he's tough in a fight but he's not very smart as you guys saw." Roxas said as they all nod.

"I'll say." Blondie giggles.

"If that guy works for Maleficent he best leave the work to her and the Heartless." Courtly giggles.

"Agreed." Cerise said.

"Hey guys check this out." Namine said bringing up a picture on screen. "Looks like Kuzco found the perfect spot for his summer home."

They all looked to see they were building it right next to Pacha's village and Kronk ended up becoming a camp counselor to the kids.

"I'm happy for them." Lizzie smiles.

"Yeah after putting up with that Yzma, Kronk has earned this." Hunter said.

"Seriously that old lady gave me the creeps." Ginger shivers.

"No arguments there." Sparrow said.

"I suppose we have to go back to Ever After High soon?" Apple asks.

"Well the school is still heavily damaged from our big battle so maybe we don't have to leave so soon…how about one more world and then we return back?" Kitty suggests.

"I can get behind that." Roxas said.

"Me too. That means more footage for my blog." Blondie smiles.

Both Roxas and Apple chuckle before they look at each other and smile briefly. However, this didn't go unnoticed by Cerise.

'Since when did Apple start smiling at Roxas like that?' Cerise thought narrowing her eyes.

"Hey guys dinner's ready." Ginger said.

"Sweet. I'm starving." Courtly said as they all headed into the other room.

'If I don't do something I could lose him. Come on Cerise, think what do you and Roxas like to do together?' Cerise thought as they all sat down to eat.

"Hey Ginger what are these?" Sparrow asks looking at a new dish.

"Those are Spinach Puffs I got the recipe from Kronk before we left." Ginger said as they took a bite.

"Not bad, would be better if they had meat in them." Ramona shrugs.

"I like it." Hunter said taking another.

After dinner Roxas was walking past the training room when he heard a noise from inside. Opening the door he saw Cerise doing a series of punches and kicks before kicking a dummy to the ground.

"Not bad, I'd hate to be that dummy." Roxas chuckles walking in.

Cerise looks over and smiles. "What are you doing here?"

"I was nearby and I heard a noise. You really take training seriously, but I guess you've always been like that." Roxas smiles.

"What do you mean?" Cerise asks.

"Well you were one of the first to join the team Cerise. You know I still remember your face when I saw your wolf ears for the first time." Roxas chuckles causing her to blush and pull her hood more over her head.

"You gonna talk or do you want to train?" Cerise asks.

"You're on." Roxas said summoning Emperor Llama.

An hour into the training and the two of them attack multiple knight practice dummies. Roxas whacks one to the ground with ease, when Cerise delivers a jump kick to another knocking off its helmet sending it bouncing off the walls and landing right on Roxas' head trapping it on its head.

"Aah! Get this off of me! I can't see!" Roxas panics trying to pull the helmet off.

Seeing this Cerise burst into laughter as she walked over. "Alright hold still." Cerise grabs the end of the helmet and with the two of them working they yanked it off his head. "I thought with that new keyblade armor you'd be used to these?"

"It's different. My armor is magically built to fit me, I don't know how people used those things in the past." Roxas said making Cerise giggle.

"Maybe we should call it a night before the kick another helmet onto your head." She smirks.

"Ha ha ha real funny." Roxas said sarcastically as Cerise sits down next to him.

"Hey Roxas, I want to ask you something really important and please be honest." Cerise said in a serious tone.

"Sure Cerise, what is it?" Roxas asks looking at her.

"What…exactly do you think of me as?" Cerise asks.

"What do you mean?" Roxas asks.

"I mean do you see me as anything more than just a friend or teammate?" Cerise asks.

Roxas takes a deep breath knowing this might happen. "Cerise you are one of the most amazing people I've ever met. You helped me feel proud of who I was. When I was still a Nobody and you still had your family secret, we both felt like our secrets were something to be ashamed of, but while I was with you I didn't feel ashamed because you were going through it too. When I got the courage to admit to everyone what I was I felt great knowing that I had you to be by my side and I was to glad to be there for you when you told everyone yours." Roxas smiles.

Cerise wipes a tear from her eyes as she smiles. "Funny I always thought I was lucky to have you by my side."

Cerise leans in and kisses Roxas on the lips.

Roxas and Cerise blush as they looked into each other's eyes as they separate. They were about to say something when the World Map started beeping.

"Uh we should probably go look into that." Roxas gestures.

"Uh yeah good idea." Cerise said as they stood up and walked to the main room where the others had gathered.

On the map they saw multiple mountains surrounded by clouds and flying around them were multiple small aircrafts.

"Says here the world is call Atmos and it's a new one." Cedar said.

"Sweet. Look at those things flying. I wouldn't mind getting one of those." Sparrow said.

"Me neither." Ramona said.

"I bet I'll be using my Glider a lot in this world." Roxas said as they arrived at the new world.


Upon arrival the Tempest was flying through Atmos when they noticed something flying nearby.

"What the?" Kitty looks out the window to see a guy around their age with spiky red hair driving a motorcycle sized glider jet flying through the clouds at an incredible speed, these were skimmers.

"Whoa look at him." Blondie said taking out her Mirrorpad. Zooming in towards him Blondie gasps. "Uh Roxas, you better get out there."

"Why?" Roxas asks when Blondie shows he was being chased by Aerial Battlers, Aerial Knockers and Aeroplane Heartless. "Uh oh. Courtly, you and Sparrow get to the guns and wait for me to get him away from the Heartless."

"You got it." Sparrow nods as Roxas threw his keyblade turning into his glider allowing him to fly out towards the Heartless.

Namine looks out and tightens her fist. "If only I could unlock my glider." She said quietly.

In the air the teen with red hair was drew two blue dagger like objects and slashed away an Aerial Battler.

"Radarr keep those things away!" He yells as a small creature that looked like a cross between a lemur and a rabbit was throwing stuff at them, but the Aeroplane Heartless flew in fast.

"Incoming!" He looks up to see Roxas slice the Heartless into darkness with his glider.

"Whoa, nice moves. What's your name?"

"Roxas."

"I'm Aerrow and this is Radarr."

As Aerial Battler flew in only to be shot down. Roxas looks up to see a teen riding another skimmer, but this guy had spiky blonde hair. This was Finn.

"Look out guys more coming in from above!" Finn said as he fired multiple blasts at the Heartless.

From another skimmer a rhino-like humanoid was in a boxing match with an Aerial Knocker. This was Junko.

The Aerial Knocker throws a punch, but Junko blocks it and punches the Aerial Knocker in the face destroying it.

"Hey Aerrow, tell your friends to follow me my team has them lined up." Roxas said firing blasts from his glider shooting an Aeroplane Heartless out of the sky.

"Got it!" Aerrow said as they flew into the clouds giving the Tempest a clean shot.

"Fire!" Apple yells as Sparrow and Courtly fired multiple blasts destroying the remaining Heartless.

"Whoo. That was awesome." Finn smiles.


As the Tempest lands Roxas and his team of Namine, Apple, Ramona, Hunter, Sparrow, Courtly, Kitty and Blondie met Aerrow and his as they walked into town.

"That's a pretty fine ship you got there." Aerrow said admiring the Tempest.

"Thanks, yours is pretty good too." Namine said admiring their ship the Condor.

"Guys I'd like you to meet the Storm Hawks. This is Piper our specialist." Aerrow said as a girl with dark skin and blue hair.

"Hi there." Piper smiles.

"Stork, our helmsman." A green creature with pointy ears shudders creeping out a few of them. "And you've already met Finn, Junko and Radarr."

"Nice to meet you all." Namine said.

"Got to say you guys were pretty cool with those bikes of yours." Hunter said.

"Thanks they're called Skimmers, the official vehicle of the Sky Knights." Aerrow said.

"Where can we get some of those?" Ramona asks.

"Wait you guys don't have any skimmers?" Piper asks.

"We're not from around here." Roxas said.

"Well maybe after we register we'll see if we can find you guys a couple." Aerrow said.

"Register for what?" Cerise asks.

"Well you see Atmos is the home of a thousand mountain top kingdoms each protected by a team of Sky Knights, Aerrow completed the trials and was knighted we still have to be registered to be official. It's just a formality." Piper said as they made their way into town.

Making their way into a building the team from Ever After High waited while the Storm Hawks got registered.

"It seems everything is in order. I'll need your names and positions for the registry." The man looking at their records said. He was an elder man with small glasses.

"Aerrow, Sky Knight and Leader."

"Finn, Wingman and Sharpshooter."

"Junko, Flight Engineer and uh…heavy ballistics."

"Is that a thing?" Sparrow chuckles.

"I don't think so." Apple whispers.

"Piper, Navigation and Tactics."

"Uhm Stork, Carrier Pilot." Stork said when Radarr stepped up.

"Uh what is that? Some kind of pet?" The man asks making Radarr growl.

"He prefers Mission Specialist, but we call him Radarr." Aerrow explains.

"Very well, the council will be pleased to hear a new Storm Hawks Squadron has been formed, your predecessors were greatly admired. You have much to live up to."

"We're ready." Aerrow walks up to sign the form to make it official, but as he gets closer the man at the counter gets a better look at him. "Wait a minute. How old are you?"

Soon they all found the door slammed in their faces.

"Seriously? They have an age requirement for this?" Hunter asks annoyed.

"That is so not just right." Blondie said.

"Did you know this might happen?" Courtly asks.

"I didn't think it would've mattered if they saw our skills." Aerrow said rubbing the back of his head.

"This sucks, nobody takes us seriously and what's worse is they treat us like kids." Piper said.

Suddenly they heard the revving of an engine and look to see five men on red skimmers driving in.

"It's Carver and the Red Eagles." Junko said amazed.

"Let me guess another Sky Knight squad?" Cerise asks as Junko nods.

"Come on let's go meet them." Piper said as they walked over to the Red Eagles.

"Hi I'm Aerrow of the Storm Hawks. Nice to meet you." He holds out his hand to shake, but Carver just looks at all of them and smirks.

"Aren't you a little short to be a Sky Knight kid?" Carver asks as he drove off with his team towards the Beacon tower.

"What a jerk." Apple said.

"No Apple it's fine, everyone looks at us like that. No one thinks we're actual Sky Knights or even real heroes." Piper said as they walked away.

"We know how that feels." Roxas said as his team agreed with him.

"How so?" Finn asks.

"When we started going around helping people they all thought we were just kids getting ourselves into danger and getting hurt for no reason." Kitty said.

"Took forever to get people to take us seriously." Ramona sighs.


Meanwhile at the Beacon tower Carver looked to the top where a bright light was emanating from it.

"Carver sir, is something wrong?" A Red Eagle asks.

"That depends on your point of view. Long live Cyconia!" Carver said as he lunged at his own squad.

Suddenly the sky turned black as storm clouds filled the air.

"Uh what's going on?" Roxas asks.

"The Beacon tower, it's not beaconing." Junko said afraid.

"Something must be wrong with the Aurora Stone." Piper said.

"Quick hop on." Aerrow said as he pulled Roxas onto his bike and they drove towards the Beacon Tower.

Arriving they saw the Red Eagles frozen in place and the front door broken down.

"What happened?" Finn asks shocked.

"Who did this?" Courtly asks looking at them.

"Whoever it was, they must be powerful." Aerrow said.

Making their way in they saw an empty pedestal at the top of the tower.

"The Aurora Stone, it's gone." Piper said in shock.

"Don't worry." Looking to the side they saw Carver with a glowing blue stone in his hand.

"Wait it's Carver right?" Namine asks.

"It'll find a good home on Cyclonia." Carver said.

"B-But you're a Sky Knight?" Aerrow asks shocked.

"A Sky Knight wise enough to know which way the wind is blowing. The future belongs to Master Cyclonis and this belongs to her." Carver grins looking at the stone.

"I won't let that happen!" Aerrow said drawing his daggers.

"Neither will we!" Roxas said summoning Emperor Llama and Hand of Fate while Namine summoned Chain of Memories.

"You're welcome to try and stop me." Carver grins drawing a glowing red dagger while Aerrow's glowed blue.

Carver made the first move and lunged at them, but they jumped out of the way in time. Aerrow sprints towards Carver, but with one swing Carver knocks him across the room.

Namine moves in and swings her keyblade, but Carver blocks it with his dagger.

"Little girls like you shouldn't be playing with such weapons." Carver mocks.

"Well can most girls do this?" Namine knees Carver in the gut and knocks him backwards with a swing of her keyblade.

Carver growls and was about to attack when Roxas jumps in from above and brings both his keyblades down on him knocking Carver into the wall.

Aerrow rushed towards Carver to deliver a kick, but Carver recovered quick enough to grab his leg and throw him across the room.

"Aerrow!" Piper gasps.

"It's your job to protect Atmos, you made an oath!" Aerrow said standing up.

"Oh that's right you fancy yourself a Sky Knight, sorry to disappoint you, but you're just a bunch of kids." Carver mocks.

Aerrow growls as a bright blue light engulfs him surprising everyone especially Carven. Aerrow swings his daggers and knocks Carvin to the ground and the Aurora stone out of his grip.

"That was awesome!" Hunter said as they all cheered.

"When was the last time you saw a kid do that?" Piper asks.

"What was that move Aerrow?" Roxas asks.

"That was…that was…" Carver said before passing out.

"The Lightning Claw." Aerrow said.

"We are definitely the real deal now dude." Finn smiles as Aerrow placed the Aurora Stone on the pedestal and instantly the sky returned to normal.

Outside all of them watched as Carver was being escorted away to prison.

"The worst is yet to come. Cyconia will rise again!" Carver vows.

"Storm Hawks, we'd like a word." The old man from the council said walking over.

"This is it, with that they'll have to make you guys official." Courtly said.

A few minutes later….

"Get help? Seriously?" Sparrow groans as they headed back to the Condor.

What do we do? Thanks to Carver this town and the Aurora Stone are defenseless." Piper said.

"Even if we left the Tempest here to protect the town I'm the only flyer on my team at the moment until we get our hands on some bikes." Roxas groans.

"What do we do?" Apple asks.

"We go and get help, if we want to be taken seriously this is what we need to do." Aerrow said.

"Well you'll at least have us to help." Hunter said.

"Thanks guys, I've got a feeling we'll need it. Have the ones on your ship get ready for takeoff." Aerrow said.

Roxas takes out his Mirrorphone. "Hey Ginger I don't suppose you read the flight manuals in all the free time you had waiting for us during missions?"

"I might have read them a few several times." Ginger said making them all smile.

"You're the best." Roxas said hanging up.

"Hey why are you guys so big on helping us? We literally just met." Finn asks.

"Look we want to help you guys because well we were you guys." Kitty said.

"Nobody took us seriously, they thought we were crazy which we were at the time and no one believed in us or gave us a chance, we want to help you guys get the one thing it took forever after for us to get support." Blondie said.


Meanwhile in the dark area of Cyconia three figured were making their way to a cloaked woman with black hair, this was Master Cyclconis.

The three people meeting her were a man with black hair and a black and red armor, a woman with purple hair and a large muscular man with black hair. This was Dark Ace, Ravess and Snipe.

"Master Cyconis." Dark Ace bows.

"I understand that Carver has fallen at the hands of a Sky Knight who claims to lead the Storm Hawks." Cyclonis said.

"It's just a rumor, the Storm Hawks are no more." Dark Ace said.

"Go. Get me the stone and this time no mistakes." Cyclonis orders.

"Consider it done." Dark Ace bows. "Ravess, Snipe come with me." Dark Ace said leaving while a masked figure with purple hair watched them leave.

As the Condor and the Tempest were flying through the air Piper was explaining where they had to go to gather reinforcements.

"So what's so important about this Aurora Stone?" Namine asks.

"It's the practically the symbol of Atmos." Piper said.

"It's also the most powerful crystal ever found, there's no telling what would happen if Master Cyclonis got her hands on it." Aerrow said.

"Not to mention the darkness, horror and suffering that would follow." Stork said when an alarm went off.

"Uh guys, we got company." Kitty said as they looked to see a large red ship with hundreds of Skimmers flying in front of it.

"Talons, and they're heading right for Atmosia." Aerrow said

"We don't have time get reinforcements, we'll have to stop them ourselves." Roxas said as his team prepared themselves for battle while the Storm Hawks panicked as this was their first real battle.

As Roxas activated his Keyblade Glider and Armor he looked to see Finn strapping multiple weapons to his Skimmer, Stork writing his will and Piper coming up with an insane idea.


Meanwhile the team from Ever After High was huddling.

"We gotta get up in the air and help them, there's no way they can do this all by themselves." Apple said.

"But they don't have enough skimmers for us." Courtly said.

"The Storm Hawks might not, but those Talon guys look like they have a few to spare." Ramona hints as they like where this was going.

In the launch bay Aerrow, Radarr, Finn, Junko and Roxas were about to take off.

"So nobody believes in us? Well now's the time to prove them wrong. Now this isn't like when we play Stop the Sky Knight or Last one to the ground does the Dishes. This is the real deal so whatever you do try…not to…...mess up." Aerrow said trying to motivate everyone.

"Dude, worst pep talk ever." Finn said.

'I think I give them better.' Roxas thought.

"You know what I mean. Let's go!" Aerrow said as they flew out.

"Alright everyone clear on the plan?" Roxas asks.

"Uh what was it again?" Junko asks.

"Keep them away from the city." Aerrow points.

As the Talons flew in the Dark Ace lead them shocking all the Storm Hawks except Aerrow.

"Uh Aerrow, that's the Dark Ace. As in the Dark Ace." Finn points out.

"So? That mean he good or something?" Sparrow asks.

"As in he's never lost a sky duel and the same Dark Ace who brought down the original Storm Hawks. Guys get out of there!" Piper panics.

"I'm not going anywhere." Aerrow declares.

"Neither are we." Roxas said as they all met in the middle and the battle started.

In the Tempest Cerise and Ginger were at the controls while Lizzie and Cedar were at the guns.

"Wow, I never thought my first time flying would be like this." Ginger said feeling overwhelmed.

"Don't worry Ginger you got this." Cerise said as she took out her Mirrorphone. "Okay guys get ready."

From the Tempest's launch bay Ramona, Sparrow, Kitty, Courtly, Namine and Hunter were waiting as the door opened.

"You guys ready?" Ramona grins.

"Let's give them some backup." Sparrow nods as each of them grabbed a safety rope.

"Geronimo!" They all yelled as they jumped down and kicked 5 Talon guys off their skimmers.

"We'll take those." Ramona said as the Talon members pulled their parachutes and cursed at them.

Namine and Kitty land on a two person Skimmer and nod. "I'll fly you shoot." Kitty said as Namine summoned her Keyblade

Roxas and Aerrow were flying alongside each other when the Dark Ace jumps off his ship and lands on Aerrow's.

"You two are young. So, allow me to inform you on the rules." Dark Ace said drawing a sword that glowed with red energy.

Roxas deactivated his glider and switches to his keyblade to swing, but Dark Ace grabs him and pins him to the wings on Aerrow's skimmer.

"There are none, if you live you win, and I never lose." Dark Ace growls before jumping off and landing on his skimmer.

"Roxas, we gotta work together to beat this guy." Aerrow said as Roxas stood up.

"Agreed." Roxas summons his glider and jumps on it.

Roxas flies after Dark Ace and shoots at him, but Dark Ace dodges them all, moving in from above Aerrow dives at him.

Meanwhile thanks to all the extra cannons Finn couldn't get a shot in anywhere.

"Come on. Come on." Finn groans when Hunter and Sparrow fly next to him. "What the? How did you guys?"

Before they could answer they were shot at by Ravess who ended up knocking most of Finn's cannons off.

"Hey this is actually easier." Finn grins before turning to Sparrow and Hunter. "You guys know how to shoot?"

Both of them grin liking where this was going.

All three skimmers start shooting destroying multiple Talon members sending them falling to the ground.

Ramona and Courtly were flying through the air trying to lose two Talons who were on their tail.

"Girls duck!" Looking up they saw Junko flying in with glowing fists. Diving down quickly Junko knocks the two Talon Skimmers to pieces.

"Thanks big guy." Ramona smiles.

As Finn was aiming at Ravess she too drew her bow ready to take Finn out. Both of them fire their shots colliding in the middle, but Ravess' was stronger causing her arrow to fly towards Finn destroying his Skimmer.

Finn lets out a scream as he falls down landing on the hood of Junko's skimmer.

As Kitty sighs in relief a mace almost hits her. "Whoa!" Looking behind she saw Snipe flying towards them with a glowing mace.

"Namine, he's coming in." Kitty panics.

"I got this. Stopga!" Namine blasts Snipe freezing him in place to his shock. "Ramona!" Namine yells as she flies in and punches Snipe off his skimmer, when Stop wears off Snipe screams as he grabs his parachute.

"Triple Plasma!" Roxas fires three balls of electircuity at Dark Ace who slices them away with his sword before firing a blast at Aerrow knocking Radarr's side car off.

Aerrow looks down in worry until Radarr pulls his parachute indicating he was okay. Smiling Aerrow flies in with his daggers and clashes with Dark Ace.

As the Tempest and the Condor were under fire Stork started to panic.

"Piper, Ginger our shields our down." Stork said.

"We can't stop! They need our help!" Ginger said.

"We don't runaway no we're gonna lose the Condor and eventually the Tempest too." Stork said.

"What about our friends?" Piper asks.

"They should follow." Stork said in fear as he turned the Condor around with the Tempest followed them with Junko, Courtly, Ramona, Hunter and Sparrow right behind them.

As three talons flew towards Roxas he growls as he activated the blade attachments on his glider. Flying in Roxas slices two of the three skimmers in half destroying them. The third Talon flies in about to blast Roxas out of the sky when Chain of Memories flies in and slices the front half of the skimmer causing an explosion.

Roxas looks up to see Namine and Kitty flying towards him.

With Aerrow both he and Dark Ace were having a sky duel. "So you call yourself a Sky Knight? Well where's your fancy move?" Dark Ace asks.

"It's right here!" Aerrow charges and fires the Lightning Claw, but Dark Ace easily moves out of the way and appears behind Aerrow as he lands.

"Good form, but you need to work on your landing!" Dark Ace kicks Aerrow off his skimmer.

"Aerrow!" Roxas gasps when Aerrow activates his wing attachments and glides down before crashing to the ground. Roxas looks to Dark Ace and flies at him in rage.

Flying above the city Dark Ace looks to Roxas who fired Icicle Crash which sent multiple ice blocks at him hitting Dark Ace in multiple areas causing him to drop to his knees.

Growling Dark Ace jumps in the air and strikes a pose similar to Aerrow's Lightning Claw and fires the blast knocking Roxas off his glider towards the ground.

"Roxas!" Namine yells as Kitty dives towards him. Namine extends her hands hoping to catch him, but as they were quickly approaching the ground.

"Namine hurry!" Kitty yells.

Namine extends but her fingers just graze Roxas' before Kitty is forced to pull up and Roxas crashes to the ground tumbling in pain.

"Roxas!" Namine screams in fear.

Aerrow groans as he looks to his injured friend. "Roxas." Aerrow crawls over and lifts up off his helmet to show Roxas was breathing just hurt. "Phew." He sighed in relief until Dark Ace landed in front of them with his weapon near their heads.

"This is the part where I claim victory, but since you're young I'll allow you a lifetime to savor your defeat." Dark Ace said as the sky darkened.

As the citizens gather a Talon drives over and hands Dark Ace the Aurora stone causing everyone to gasp.

"Your own sworn protector turns on you and Atmos sends children instead of Sky Knights? How pathetic. The wraith of Cylconia is your future." Dark Ace declares as he flew off.

"Ugh." Roxas groans as he sits up.

"Save your strength." Aerrow said as Namine and Kitty land nearby.

"Roxas!" Namine said running to him. "Curaga!" Namine said healing him.

"Thanks Namine." Roxas said standing up.

"I'm so sorry Roxas I thought I could save you in time." Namine frowns.

"Thanks, but a lot of good that did. We lost." Roxas frowns as Ramona, Blondie, Hunter, Sparrow, Courtly, and the Storm Hawks land nearby.

"What do we now?" Sparrow asks.

"That Aurora Stone!" They look to see the man from the council walk over. "In the hands of Cyclonia…something must be done!" He demanded.

"And it will." Aerrow said.

"The future of Atmos rests on that crystal."

"Which is why we're going to Cyclonia to get it back." Aerrow said.

"We are?" All the Storm Hawks ask in shock.

"We are and we need your help more than ever." Aerrow said looking at the team from Ever After High.

"You got it." Roxas said as they all nod.

"We're doomed." Stork said.


Back in Cyclonia Dark Ace returns to Master Cyclonis with the Aurora Stone in his hand.

"I'd hold onto it for a few more minutes, I'm expecting company." Cyclonis said.

Outside an army of Sky Knights were flying towards Cyclonia hoping to launch a frontal assault and retrieve the Aurora Stone.

Attaching the Aurora stone to his sword the Dark Ace swings his blade and from it a giant blast of energy shoots out destroying them all and creating a shockwave which knocks Dark Ace backwards.

Walking back in Cyclonis turns to him. "And our guests?"

"I've never seen such power." Dark Ace said taking out the stone.

"That Dark Ace was nothing, we will soon see the full power of the Aurora Stone in action." Cyclonis said as she typed a few buttons and a giant machine appeared. Taking the Aurora Stone from Dark Ace she places it into the machine. "It's called a Storm Engine, imagine a thousand terras wiped out in a single blow. In a few hours this will be the only safe place on Atmos." Cyclonis grins.

Down below a cargo freighter was being placed with the others, when the coast was clear Kitty appeared on top of the freighter and knocked signaling the coast was clear. From the inside Finn, Sparrow, Junko and multiple boxes of donuts came spilling out.

"I hope I never have to see another donut again." Junko burps.

"You didn't have to eat half of them." Finn said.

"Hey we needed the room." Junko said.

"Who's there?" The three of them look to see a guard heading towards them. "Hey! What are you—" Before he could finish Kitty jumps down on top of him.

"Nice timing." Sparrow said as she tied him up and for added measure shoved a few donuts into the guard's mouth so he couldn't scream.

Meanwhile in the fiery pits of the wastelands Roxas and Aerrow were flying ahead with Namine riding with Aerrow for backup. Behind them the Condor was flying with everyone else inside.

"I still don't see why we couldn't use their ship." Stork said.

"Because the Tempest is too big, we have to use the Condor." Piper said.

"You sure this will work?" Apple asks.

"Yep, there it is." Piper said as they approached Cyclonia. "Cyclonia, it looks just as ugly below."

"It does have a sort of Dark charm." Stork said.

"Let's just hope Kitty, Sparrow, Finn and Junko follow through with the plan." Apple said as they entered a large pipe.


Upstairs Kitty, Sparrow, Finn and Junko were sneaking through the halls.

"What are we looking for again?" Junko asks.

"A hatch in the floor to take us down and meet the others." Kitty said as they passed by a room.

Finn looks inside and gasps. "No way, the Aurora stone is inside that big thingy. Let's just grab it and split."

"Uh I don't know Finn we should stick to Piper's plan." Junko said.

"Agreed." Kitty nods.

"Come on, if we get it now we can save a lot of trouble." Finn said.

"Let's do it." Junko grins.

Putting Finn on his shoulder Junko holds Finn so he could grab the stone.

"Kitty what's wrong?" Sparrow asks.

"Something's not right. This seems too easy." Kitty said suspicious.

"You're right." They turn to see Cyclonis and two guards standing by her. "And you are?"

"Busted." Finn cringes.

"I knew this was a bad idea." Kitty sighs.

Sparrow draws an arrow and fires, but Cyclonis stops it midair and fires a powerful red blast knocking the 4 of them to the ground.

Cyclonis grins as she claps her hands and the four of them get sucked into a glass cage above the Storm Engine.

Junko tries to punch them out but ends up hurting his hands instead.

"They'll get to be the first to see the power of my device, too bad it'll be the last thing they ever see. I'm guessing they're not the only ones paying us a visit." Cyclonis said.


Outside Roxas, Namine and Aerrow were flying through the air when Snipe and three Talons flew in towards them.

"Something tells me they're not here to welcome us. Hold on tight Namine." Aerrow said as Snipe ordered the three Talons to surround them. Aerrow flew in towards one who shoots at him, but at the last second Aerrow flies out of the way causing him shoot down one of his comrades. Flying in Aerrow and Namine slice his wings off causing the second Talon to plummet.

As the third Talon flew towards Roxas he jumps off his glider and delivers a punch knocking the Talon off his skimmer sending him plummeting before he opened his parachute.

"3 down, 1 to go." Aerrow said as they flew towards Snipe.

"Sky Knights! Snipe's gonna smash you like a bug!" He vows as he flies towards them.

"Look out!" Roxas yells as Snipe's mace extends towards them.


Flying through the vents Courtly, Apple, Blondie, Ramona and Hunter were helping Piper and Stork navigate.

"This place gives me the creeps." Blondie said.

"Really? I kinda like it here." Stork smiles when suddenly they felt the ship shake from a blast.

"What was that?" Hunter asks alarmed.

Piper looks out the scope and gasps seeing multiple lizard like people racing towards them on skimmers. "It's the Raptors!"

"We gotta outrun them!" Ramona said.

"We move any faster and the Condor will definitely get scratched." Stork warns.

"Well if we move any slower and we'll be blasted." Courtly argues.

"I'm just saying." Stork said pulling the accelerator as they sped ahead.


Outside Roxas and Aerrow were zooming around Snipe as he tried to hit them with his mace.

"He's too strong for us to take on face to face." Namine said.

"He may be stronger, but we're faster." Aerrow said as he zoomed around Snipe distracting him while Roxas flew in and blasted his skimmer causing an explosion causing him to fall and activate his parachute.

"Whoo! Nice shooting Roxas!" Aerrow smiles.

Roxas gives a thumbs up as they continued flying only to encounter Ravess and six more Talon members.

"Uh oh." Roxas said as Ravess shot an arrow just missing his helmet by a few inches.


With the others and the Raptors, they were racing through the vents with the Condor occasionally grazing the walls.

"We gotta shake these guys!" Courtly said.

"I'm working on it." Piper said as Stork turned a corner.

Changing their skimmers from Bike to Glider mode the Raptors blasted them again.

"I hate tailgaters." Stork pulls the reverse and rams into the Raptors sending them crashing to the ground.

"Now that move was just right." Blondie said as Stork cracks a smile for once.

"Yeah well." Stork shakes it off.


Back outside Roxas, Namine and Aerrow were struggling to avoid all of Ravess' arrows as well as the Talons.

"I don't suppose you have any plans?" Roxas asks.

"Yeah I do, Namine climb onto Roxas' glider." Aerrow said as Namine jumped over. "Now follow me!"

The three of them fly up with Ravess and the Talons circling below them.

"Uh what exactly are we doing?" Roxas asks nervously.

"Relax I saw this in a cartoon once." Aerrow grins making both of them freeze for a second. "Jump!"

The three of them jump off the Glider and Skimmer and dive towards the enemy drawing their daggers and keyblades the three of them slash all of them before they successfully land back on their flight vechicles.

"Did you see that? It worked!" Aerrow cheers along with Radarr while Roxas and Namine caught their breath.

"That was pretty impressive Aerrow." Roxas said.

"Crazy, but impressive." Namine nods.


In Cyclonis' lair she was just informed about the battle outside.

"Both Ravess and Snipe? We must be dealing with some Sky Knights." Cyclonis assumes.

"That's our boy." Finn smiles as they all know full well who could pull off something like this.

"We'll be out of here in no time." Sparrow grins.

"Leave these ones to me." Dark Ace said leaving the room planning to finish what he started.

Cyclonis turns to Sparrow, Finn, Junko and Kitty.

"If you're expecting a rescue you'll all be disappointed. Once all my Talons come home to roost all your atoms will be spread across this world." Cyclonis said making them cringe in fear.

"Uh take your time." Junko said in fear.

"Yeah we're cool." Finn nods.

"We're in no hurry." Sparrow said.

"By all means take nap or something." Kitty said.


In the vents below the Condor safety lands in the shaft they were supposed to meet Finn, Junko, Sparrow and Kitty at.

Meanwhile outside Roxas and Aerrow growl as they see Dark Ace fly out.

"These two again? Guess they didn't learn their lesson." Dark Ace said as they circle each other. "You kids are determined I'll give you that, but it takes much more than that to be a Sky Knight. I should know I've defeated more Sky Knights than anyone."

As darkness surrounded Dark Ace and from it a Wavecrest appeared and roared surprising them.

"Namine." Roxas said summoning Sky's the Limit and quickly spraying her with Pixie Dust.

"Aerrow you handle the Dark Ace while we got this thing." Namine said.

"Right." Aerrow nods as they fly towards their opponents.

Roxas fires multiple blasts at the Wavecrest distracting it while Namine flies in and slashes it across the face making it roar in pain.

Looking towards Namine it swings its tail knocking her backwards into the air.

Rushing in on his glider Roxas activates the blades and swoops in slashing the Wavecrest. Letting out a roar it flies after Roxas and fires multiple blasts of water making his glider rattle.

Namine watches this in horror. 'Not good, if any water gets near me my pixie dust will go away, but I gotta help Roxas.' She thought as she raises her keyblade. "Thunder Surge!"

Surrounding herself with electricity Namine rams into the Wavecrest making it do a backflip in the air to recover.

Flying in fast the Wavecrest knocks both of them backwards with its wings.

Roxas recovers just in time to see the Eavecrest fire a large blast of water knocking him off his glider sending him plummeting towards the ground.

"Roxas!" Namine yells as she dives towards him.

As she tried to grab his hands the memory of the time she tried to catch him failed came back to her and how hurt Roxas was.

'No! I'm not going to fail again! I will save you Roxas!' Namine said as a bright light engulfed her keyblade. "Roxas!" Namine yells as the light engulfs her as she grabs his hand.

Roxas looks in shock to see Namine in a white, yellow, green and teal armor with two half circles going down the back of her helmet from to the top. From her Keyblade a moped-like glider white glider appeared with two metal sketchpads on the side as guards, and a large heart up front took its place with two blasters up front appeared.

Roxas looks at Namine in her new armor and was in awe. "Whoa Namine."

Namine helps him up onto her Glider. "Come on Roxas let's go."

Roxas nods as he activates his Keyblade Armor and two of them flew up towards the Wavecrest who was firing multiple water blasts at them.

Namine steered her glider out of the way and retaliates with multiple blasts from her glider hitting it in the wings making the Wavecrest plummet.

"Now Roxas!" Namine said as Roxas jumps off and summoned Emperor Llama and Royal Pain. Spinning both of them Roxas golden lance shoots out and impales the Wavecrest destroying it.

Nearby Aerrow and Dark Ace were clashing weapons as they flew through the air.

Separating Dark Ace launched his version of the Lightning Claw at Aerrow, thinking quickly Aerrow clicks a button and a shield detaches from his skimmer allowing him to block the attack.

Aerrow looks to Radarr who grins telling him to go for it. Both Aerrow and Dark Ace stand atop their skimmers with weapons ready.

"This time, no mercy." Dark Ace growls as Aerrow charges up his Lightning Claw and launches it destroying Dark Ace's skimmer forcing him to activate his wing attachments. Letting out a roar of anger he flies back to Cyclonia.


In the vents Stork had final lost the Raptors and made it to their hiding spot where they would meet the others. All was peaceful when suddenly something hits them making the ship rattle.

"Oh no. Please tell it's not who I think it is." Piper asks as Stork looks to see the Raptors had found them.

"Yep, they found us." Stork sighs.

"And the shields?" Piper asks.

"Destroyed by the Cyclonians in our last battle…. permanently." Stork cringes.

"Okay, this is bad." Piper panics when Ramona, Courtly, Apple, and Hunter head to the entrance.

"Don't worry guys we got this." Apple said as they climbed down.

"We need more fire power." The lead Raptor said below.

The Raptors were about to leave when Ramona and Courtly drop down in front of them and the others jump down behind them.

"Going somewhere?" Courtly asks taking out her mallet.

"Right through you." He growls as they all drew glowing yellow daggers.

Rushing towards them Ramona huffs and puffs blowing a gust of wind causing one to stop in it's tracks as Courtly rushed in and hit him in the gut with her mallet.

One Raptor threw a punch at Ramona who blocks it and delivers a series of punches before kneeing him in the gut causing the Raptor to stagger back allowing Courtly to jump in and slam her mallet on his foot making him scream in pain.

Hunter was firing arrows at on raptor as it slashed the arrows away with his daggers as he made his way towards them.

"Tornado!" Apple creates a hurricane which sucks up two raptors and throws them against the wall.

As the leader threw his dagger they jump out of the way and Hunter picks it up. "Hmm nice weapon. Think I'll keep it." He smirks.

"Retreat!" The leader yells as they made a run for it.

Piper and Stork look down at the team from Ever After High and smiled lucky they had come along.


Up on the landing bay Aerrow, Radarr, Namine and Roxas land to find three guards blocking their path.

"We just took down the Dark Ace, we can handle these guys." Aerrow smirks when the door opens behind them to reveal a whole army of guards.

"Or maybe not." Namine said summoning Chain of Memories while Roxas summons Emperor Llama.

Suddenly a small yellow ball was thrown into the army of guards, looking down the ball released a bright light stunning them, all except one guard with purple hair.

Not sure what was happening they still kept their weapons ready until the guard removed the mask to reveal a woman.

"Take it easy, I'm a Sky Knight. The names Starling." She said.

"You mean Starling of the Interceptors?" Aerrow asks surprised.

"Wait so she's the real deal?" Roxas asks lowering his keyblade.

"Oh yeah, I've heard about her." Aerrow said.

"I've been undercover, Cyclonis is planning a massive storm. One that could end Atmos." Starling said.

"How?" Roxas asks.

"She's built a machine with the Aurora Stone. Oh she also has a Wallop, a girl with cat ears, one with a guitar and a squirrely kid inside it. They belong to you?" Starling asks as Radarr facepalms.

In Cyclonis' lair Junko, Finn, Sparrow and Kitty were trying to figure a way out while Cyclonis was working on her machine.

"Storms made us, storms tear us apart, and now storms will help us rebuild my way." Cyclonis grins when a grenade went off knocking her guards to the ground.

"Or we could do it my way!" Aerrow said as he, Roxas and Namine rushed in.

"This is getting annoying." Cyclonis glares turning around.

"Give us back what you stole Master…Cyclonis?" Aerrow said surprised by her appearance.

"Let me guess you three are the Sky Knights? Aren't you a little young?" Cyclonis asks.

"Funny, that's what I was about to say." Aerrow said as they readied their weapons.

Cyclonis holds out her hand and a glowing staff flies into her grip, and charges.

Suddenly a large purple blast shot out breaking Cyclonis' staff into pieces. Looking over they saw Starling jump in with a double-bladed staff like weapon.

Cyclonis smirks as her staff reassembled with ease. "Ooh. You're good."

"I'll hold off the witch, you three go help your friends." Starling said.

The three of them nod as they rushed towards the machine.

Namine and Roxas put their hands together to help Aerrow climb up to the machine while Radarr tried to remove the Aurora Stone.

Starling and Cyclonis exchanged multiple blasts, but when Starling jumps in for a close range attack Cyclonis gets her and blasts her to the ground shocking everyone.

"Starling!" Aerrow said as he, Namine and Roxas turned to her.

Cyclonis fires a blast at Aerrow, but he jumps out of the way causing it to hit the cage holding Junko, Finn, Kitty and Sparrow.

"Now's our chance! Junko start smashing!" Finn said as Junko rams into it and jumps back.

"Ow that's cold." Junko said.

As Aerrow unleashed the Lightning Claw and Roxas uses Thundaga Cyclonis smirks as she holds out her staff and absorbs the moves.

"I know your tricks Sky Knight. You'll do your moves and jump around, but in the end will be the same." Cyclonis said as Dark Ace landed behind them. "I unleash the full fury of nature and you…well actually I don't care what happens to you."

Suddenly they heard a humming noise. Turning around the three of them get blasted by Dark Ace's attack knocking the three of them to the ground.

"Always have to have the last shot?" Cyclonis smirks as she makes her way to the Storm Engine and undoes the roof allowing them to be in the heart of the storm.

"Valor Drive!" Kitty and Sparrow said as their outfits turned red and they rammed against the ice with Junko causing the ice to crack.

"And so it begins." Cyclonis grins.

"Not if we have anything to say about it!" Cyclonis turns around to see two bright lights and Roxas and Namine appear in their keyblade armors and Aerrow with his daggers ready.

Namine and Roxas throw their keyblades breaking through the ice freeing their friends.

Cyclonis readies her staff to blast them, but Starling throws her staff knocking it out of her hand and delivers a kick to Dark Ace knocking him into the wall.

"Roxas give me a hand!" Aerrow combines his daggers to make a staff and they rush towards the Aurora Stone. Cyclonis looks in shock as they smash the Aurora Stone into pieces destroying her machine.

"No! Do you realize what you've done?!" Cyclonis asks in rage as Roxas picks up a piece of the Aurora Stone.

"Yeah we just saved Atmos and by the way, the name's Aerrow of the Storm Hawks." Aerrow smirks when suddenly the roof started coming down.

"Come on we gotta get out of here!" Roxas yells as they all made a run for it.

Kitty, Sparrow, Junko, Finn and Namine were running ahead when a few boulders separated them from Roxas, Aerrow and Starling.

"Roxas!" Namine gasps.

"We'll be fine. We'll go out the way we came." Roxas said.

"Hurry back." Namine said as they ran to the vent where they were supposed to go and climb in to see everyone in the Condor was ready to leave.

"Alright Stork get us out of here!" Blondie said.

"On it!" Stork said as pulled the lever allowing them to escape.

"Wait where's Roxas and Aerrow?" Apple asks.

"They'll be fine." Finn said as they escaped Cyclonia.

From the clouds they all watched in anticipation as Roxas, Aerrow and Starling all appeared on their glider and skimmer causing all of them to cheer with joy.

As they landed on the Condor everyone rushed to meet them.

"You guys did it!" Piper smiles.

"Wait what about the Aurora Stone?" Blondie asks.

Roxas reaches into his pocket and pulls out the shards he picked up. "Sorry guys, but it was for the best."

All of them frown at this when suddenly a bright light engulfs the shards causing them to float into the air.

"Whoa." Finn and Junko said in awe as a bright light forms in Roxas's hand as a new keyblade forms in his hand its handle is the Storm Hawks Emblem, the blade is a cycle wing with Aerrow's dagger at the top, the chain is a set of Crystal of blue red yellow and green with the Condor as the keychain.

"Whoa, now that is an awesome weapon." Aerrow said in awe.

"What this one called?" Ramona asks.

Roxas looks at the Storm Hawks and grins. "The Storm Condor."


Soon the Storm Hawks, Starling and the team from Ever After High were in front of the council once again.

"Of all the brash, reckless things to do, you destroy the Aurora Stone?! However, taking in the testimony of Sky Knight Starling this council agrees it was the proper course of action." The head councilman said.

"Does that mean the Storm Hawks are official?" Piper asks hopefully as the council mutters.

"Forget it Piper we don't need to be official to know who we are. Wherever Atmos needs help the Storm Hawks will be there. Let's fly." Aerrow said as they all left the room.

"Good luck…Sky Knight." The councilman grins.

At the Tempest the Storm Hawks and the others were saying goodbye.

"Hey Roxas, thanks for everything. We owe you all for this. You gave us exactly what we needed." Aerrow said.

"It was no trouble at all Aerrow." Roxas said as they shook hands.

"Still we want to give you guys a little something before you leave." Aerrow said surprising them.

Rolling out of the Condor were 6 brand new customized Skimmer's with Roxas' X mark and the Storm Hawk's logo on the sides. One was green and brown, one was blue and silver, one was purple and gold, one was red and blue, one was yellow and orange and the last one was grey and black.

"No way…are these?" Sparrow asks.

"All yours guys." Junko smiles.

"We made some modifications to the ones you guys stole from the Talons. Figured you could use them." Piper said.

"As of now you are all members of the Storm Hawks." Aerrow smiles.

"We're honored." Roxas nods as they loaded their new skimmers into the ship.


Leaving Atmos the team decided it was time to return to Ever After High.

As they were partying everyone looked at the new bangle on Namine's wrist and was amazed she unlocked her armor too.

Roxas was plugging in the coordinates for Ever After High when Namine walked over with two sticks of Sea Salt Ice Cream.

"Thanks." Roxas said taking one. "You know Namine, you still keep me surprised."

"How so?" She raised an eyebrow.

"Whenever I'm in trouble you always are there to help me through it, thanks a lot." Roxas smiles causing her to blush.

"Roxas, I would never let anything bad happen to you. If you're in danger I'll do whatever I can to help you. Because you mean the world to me." Namine smiles.

Touched by this Roxas pulled Namine into a hug which she gladly returns. When they separate Namine leans in and kisses Roxas on the lips for a few seconds and lets go.

As she walks away Roxas thought about how he felt the same magic from when he kissed Apple and Cerise.

"I think I'm starting to figure things out, but I still need to figure out the others." Roxas said.

Alright folks that's it.

Next up is the last known Ever After High event to date: Epic Winter
