Chapter 30: Terra Neon

(Intro)

Several weeks after the incident with the Finn Clones, the Storm Hawks were voting on a very important matter. Where to spend their weekend. "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18." Aerrow said, counting everyone's raised hands. "Okay. Looks like we're spending the weekend on Terra Neon." Finn, Junko and Judy cheered as they gave each other high fives. Though, the Wallops accidentally knocked Finn down with their powerful hands. "This is gonna be so much fun! I've always wanted to go to Terra Neon!" Francine squealed. "Indeed. I've longed to pay a visit to Terra Neon to see the many fun activities one can do there." Odessa said. But not everyone was as excited. Radarr and Mimi were annoyed when their choice was overruled. "Sorry, Radarr and Mimi. We'll visit the Terra of Giant Bananas next time." Aerrow said. "If there is a next time. We never get to do the things I want to do." Radarr whined, crossing his arms in annoyance. "Yeah. And I hate seeing my fuzzy brother get all angry like this." Mimi said, nuzzling her furry brother's cheek.

"No worries, guys. Besides, Terra Neon is the fun-est place in the Atmos. It's got everything. Rides, shows, games, all-you-can-eat Sky-dogs, and Flame Corn." Finn explained as they arrived at the terra. But everyone noticed something was off. "This place has it all. Except one thing. People." Piper said. The entire terra was completely deserted.

"It's like everyone just…vanished." Aerrow said. "That's so weird." Aria said. "Hello? Hello?!" Aerrow called. But no one answered. "Okay, this is weird. Terra Neon is always packed. Where is everyone?" Piper asked. "I'm not sure. The whole place being empty, it's just creepy." Skyler said. "You know what this means?" Finn asked. Junko thought about it before realizing. "No lines for us." He said. They high-fived again, but Finn was knocked down again. The Storm Hawks took off to enjoy themselves. "Hey, wait for me!" Finn called as he recovered and followed them. Throughout the whole night, they looked at themselves in funhouse mirrors, stuck their heads in headless cutouts, rode on the rollercoaster, and ate an unlimited supply of Flame Corn and Sky Dogs. Stork, however, was a little queasy and hesitant about the food at first, but got over it and he began chugging endless cups of Sky Shakes.

Meanwhile, Aerrow walked over to Piper, who was crawling along the ground. "So, what're you looking for, babe?" He asked. "Some kind of clue. I don't know. I guess I'm kinda hoping something will hit me." Piper said. Just then, something hit her in the face, surprising both her and Aerrow. She pulled it off and saw that it was a flier. "Who wants to be a Mega Star?" She said, reading it. "A contest, maybe?" Aerrow guessed. "Looks like it's happening at the Constellation Theater." They lowered the flier and gazed at the very theater itself before smiling at each other. Meanwhile, the Storm Hawks were stuffing their faces with cotton candy. Aerrow and Piper walked up to them as they headed for the theater. "Come on, guys, I found a-" Piper started to say until the Storm Hawks lifted their heads, revealing to have stylish cotton candy hairdos. "-clue." "Delicious and stylish." Finn said. "Indeed. I don't think I've ever looked more prettier." Twilight said.

The Storm Hawks walked up to the theater. "Hang on. There's something about this. It's too-" Aerrow tried to say, but the others ignored him as they walked into the theater. "Or we can just stroll right in." He said. "Sorry, Aerrow. But strolling right into places is how we do things every day." Aria said. "Yeah, you're right." Aerrow said. As he and Aria followed their team into the lobby, they could hear the sounds of people cheering inside the theater. "Now we know where everyone went." Aerrow said. "Sounds like the whole terra's in there." Piper said. "But what are they watching?" Aria asked. Suddenly, the door closed behind the team, startling them, as a strange shadow moved from under it. The Storm Hawks got their weapons ready and prepared for a fight. Piper walked up to the door, but couldn't get it to open. "It's locked." She said. "Probably bolted from the outside." Skyla said. "You want me to smash it down?" Junko asked. Instead of answering, Aerrow's mind was too focused on what was going on inside the stage area. He motioned his team to head for the backstage area.

As they snuck in backstage, they peeked out to see a man juggling about a dozen balls. But after a while, the man nervously started dropping his balls one by one. "Everyone on Neon packed in to see this? He stinks." Finn said. "Yeah, no kidding." Radarr said. Finally, the guy dropped all his balls. The audience all started booing his lousy performance. "Time to give him the hook!" A voice exclaimed. "Now there's a critic I can agree with." Finn said. "Me too." Radarr agreed. "No! I can do better! I promise!" The man cried as he begged for his life. "What is that?" Piper asked as a strange tentacle picked up the man. "Hang on!" Aerrow exclaimed as he and the other Storm Hawks ran out onto the stage, weapons ready and making the audience stare and chat in awe. "Who are you?!" Aerrow demanded. "Well, we should be asking you! After all, you're on our stage!" The voice exclaimed, coming from a couple of people in a V.I.P. box. Suddenly, more tentacles appeared and moved towards the Storm Hawks. "I don't think those are stage hands." Finn said. "What tipped you off?" Piper asked. "No hands." Finn said with worry. Aerrow kept his eyes focused on the tentacles, seeing that they were about to attack. "Go!" He exclaimed. But the tentacles moved too fast as they ensnared the Storm Hawks and disarmed them. As the Storm Hawks struggled, the tentacles shocked them with an energy jolt. "Why are you doing this?!" Aerrow demanded. "Why else? We're putting on a show!" The second voice declared. "Or we would be if some of us weren't so picky." "We're looking for a star, not a no-talent hack! Which is what everyone we auditioned is! And we auditioned everyone on the terra." The first voice explained. "Look, whatever it is you want, if you don't let everyone go right now, I promise you, this won't end well!" Aerrow exclaimed as the 2 men revealed themselves as twins named Staldorf and Walder. But Aerrow's threat earned him a jolt. "Yeah. For us." Stork said with worry.

"Hey, these kids, they got pizazz." Walder said as the Storm Hawks struggled against the tentacles. "Oh, come off it! They don't have any stage presence at all! Look how terrible their posture is!" Staldorf argued. "Yeah, Mr. Smarty Pants? I think we should let them audition." Walder said. "You?! You would let a dustmop audition! Alright. Send them to wardrobe. But if they don't work out, I am gonna be very unhappy." Staldorf said. Stork moaned with worry.

The tentacles dragged the Storm Hawks backstage and threw them down to prepare for the show. The audience started clapping along with a drum beat. "Looks like we're up next." Piper said as the Storm Hawks recovered. Just then, Stork was dropped into Junko's arms. "No, no, no, no, no. No, no, no! I can't do it! No way. I might be great with Lavender, but I got stage fright! Terrible! Crippling! I'd rather be dead than go out there! STAGE FRIGHT!" Stork cried, freaking out. "STORK! Breathe!" Aerrow exclaimed, handing Stork a popcorn bag. Stork took the bag and breathed in and out into it. But he breathed in too hard and sucked the bag into his throat. Junko gave him the Heimlich to help him cough it up. "It's okay, Stork. I'm right here." Lavender said, comforting her lover. "So, now what do we do?" Skyla asked. "One of us will go out there and keep them occupied while the others look for a way out." Aerrow said. "Leave that to us, Aerrow." Vuto said as he, Sky and Riggorix walked up. "We got something that might just blow their socks off." Sky said.

As Riggorix, Sky and Vuto stepped onto the stage, they put their act to work…by toppling onto the stage. They groaned as they got back up. "Oh, man, that flight was awful! My neck is out!" Vuto whined. "Here, I'll fix it." Riggorix said, slapping Vuto. "Oh, that feels better." Vuto said. "That's good." Riggorix said, slapping Vuto again. "Hey, I never got my in-flight meal." Sky said. "Well, have a knuckle sandwich." Riggorix said, giving Sky a slap. The audience laughed at the scene. But Staldorf and Walder were not impressed. "Bah, I got more funnier in my feet!" Staldorf exclaimed. "That's true. Especially if you count the funny smell." Walder heckled, making Staldorf growl.

Meanwhile, the Storm Hawks were trying to find a way out. Junko gave Piper a boost as she tried to break boards off a window. But the stick she was using broke on impact. "There has to be a way out." Piper said. Finn turned invisible and tried to sneak out the way they came in. But the tentacles blocked the door, apparently having very sensitive senses. "Whoa! One thing's for sure, we're not going back the way we came in." Finn said, dropping his invisibility. "Well, now what do we do?" Skyler asked. "Split up and look around. There's gotta be something we can use." Aerrow said. As the Storm Hawks split up and started looking around, Lavender became startled when a suit of armor rattled on its own. As she heard someone breathing inside, she flipped up the facial mask and revealed Stork, who screamed, making her scream too. "Stork! What are you doing, babe?!" She exclaimed. "Babe, I can't go on stage! Just the thought of it makes my knees feel like jelly sausages injected with liquid dread!" Stork panicked. Suddenly, the crowd outside started booing. "Speaking of which, I wonder how my little brother and his fellow stooges are doing." Skyla said.

Riggorix, Vuto and Sky prepared for their biggest bit. "Okay, you guys are gonna love this." Sky said. "Please, not that lame hospital bit." Skyla whispered. "Our hospital bit." Sky announced. "Oh no. Junko, Judy, quick! Do something!" Skyla exclaimed. Before Riggorix, Vuto and Sky could start, Junko and Judy walked out onto the stage, gave a bow, sprayed in their mouths, checked their breaths and cracked their fingers before…they started singing terribly. "I haven't heard a traditional Wallopian folk roar in years." Walder said. "I guess everything comes back in style eventually. Except that suit." Staldorf said, heckling Walder's suit. "Uh, Skyla, I thought Rigg and the others were doing great. Why'd you send Junko and Judy out there?" Finn asked. But then they noticed Junko and Judy stopped with their 'singing'. "And why'd they stop screaming?" Finn asked. The tentacles had grabbed Junko, Riggorix, Sky, Judy and Vuto, making Piper gasp. "I'll tell you why it's been so long since we've heard a folk roar. They're awful!" Staldorf exclaimed. "Hey, the last time I heard a scream that loud was after I saw you with your shirt off. Hehe. Back hair." Walder heckled. "Watch it." Staldorf threatened.

The tentacles shocked the 5 Storm Hawks and pulled them away as Piper ran out to help them. "No! Let them-" Piper tried to say as the tentacles put her friends with the failed juggler. "-go." She chuckled nervously now that she was on stage, hearing an audience member wolf whistle at her. "So…who here likes magic?" She asked nervously. Staldorf, Walder and Finn watched closely. Piper held out 2 Rainbow Smoker Crystals and threw them at the ground, creating a big rainbow smoke cloud. Under the cloud's cover, Skyla and Starling appeared on stage. "Abraca-dada?" Piper said, hoping that her trick worked. "Boring!" Staldorf and Walder exclaimed. "Hey! You try coming up with an act with Rainbow Smokers!" Piper exclaimed. "Yeah! She did a great trick!" Skyla exclaimed. "Now you're even more boring." Staldorf said. The tentacles were about to grab the 3 girls. But as they braced themselves, Radarr came on stage, blowing a party blower, dressed in a bowler hat, a flower boutonniere and carrying a cane. Mimi was on his shoulder, ready to help. As they walked out, Radarr tossed his hat and cane onto the tentacles. As one of the tentacles got close to them, Radarr sprayed it with water from his boutonniere. As the tentacle shook off the water, Radarr and Mimi looked at each other while, raising their eyebrows. "Ready to give them a good show?" Radarr asked. "Always ready, partner." Mimi said.

Aerrow and Aria watched the scene from behind the curtains. "Time to improvise." Aerrow said. "How?" Aria asked. "There." Aerrow said, pointing to a ladder that goes under the stage. As Radarr started dancing like a Russian, Aerrow and Aria climbed down the ladder and started sneaking under the stage. Suddenly, they noticed another tentacle slithering around a corner. They hid behind a support beam and waited as the tentacle slithered past before continuing. As Radarr and Mimi were coming to the end of their dance act, Aerrow and Aria finally snuck out from under the stage. But as the dance ended, the tentacles grabbed them both, along with Piper, Skyla and Starling. "Well, thanks for trying." Piper said. The crowd started booing their 'poor' performances. "Yeesh. Tough crowd." Mimi said.

Just then, Finn shouted as he slid on his knees onto the stage. Staldorf and Walder appeared unimpressed. "Give me a beat. Try to keep up." Finn said. The conductor readied his orchestra. "What're you doing?" Piper asked. "Pulling out the big gun." Finn said. He motioned his arms and created a base guitar with his light powers. "A light guitar? I didn't know he even played guitar." Starling said, quite surprised. "He used to practice an air routine before. Let's hope his practice can save us." Piper said with worry. Finn started playing his light guitar as the orchestra played along. The audience clapped to the beat. Even the tentacles got in time with the beat. "Well? It's catchy." Walder said. "Oh, sure. So is Zebra Pox." Staldorf said. Finn brought his guitar solo to a finish, unleashing a powerful light wave that nearly blew everyone out of their seats. "Yeah. Now that is talent." He said. "No kidding." Piper said, in awe. But then, another tentacle grabbed him and raised him up along with the others. "You wouldn't know real talent if it came and kicked you in the pants!" Finn exclaimed. "Yeah, right." Staldorf said as the tentacles shoved their prisoners into the seats. "Which I promise to do if I ever get out of this!" Finn growled. "And don't call us." Walder said. "We'll call you." They both said simultaneously.

"STOP!" Odessa demanded as she, Skyler and Amy Lu walked onto the stage. "Huh? Why should we?" Staldorf asked. "You want a show? We'll give you a show." Odessa said. Skyler started motioning his arms and created a huge fire disk. As he tossed the disk into the air, Amy Lu fired ice beams from her hands, creating an ice shell that trapped the fire disk inside. Odessa levitated herself onto the ice shell and created several aura spheres around it. The surrounding lights from the spheres shined off the shell, combined with the light from the fire disk, creating a beautiful light show. The seated Storm Hawks and the audience gazed in awe at the performance. "Beautiful." Staldorf said, impressed. But then, Walder winced as one of the lights shined in his eyes. "Ah, too sparkly!" He exclaimed. The tentacles snatched Odessa, Skyler and Amy Lu, and forced them into the audience with their teammates. "These 2 sure are hard to please." Amy Lu said.

Francine stepped onto the stage with a microphone in her hand. She tapped the microphone and blew into it as everyone stared at her. "What do you think your sister's gonna do, Rigg?" Finn asked. "I don't know." Riggorix said. Just then, Francine started singing Memory. As she sang, Riggorix developed a tear in his good eye, never knowing how beautiful his adoptive sister could sing. Even everyone else in the theater was drawn to tears. Well, except for Walder and Staldorf. "Argh! What is this?! Nails on a blackboard?!" Walder exclaimed, clutching his ears. "Get her off the stage!" Staldorf exclaimed. The tentacles grabbed Francine and shoved her in the seat next to Riggorix. "That was very beautiful, Francine. I never knew you could sing so good." Riggorix said. "Well, my parents taught me how before they were eaten. Too bad these 2 don't think so." Francine said in annoyance. Suddenly, the orchestra started playing soothing ballet music. "Hey, what's with that music?" Staldorf asked. "I didn't order a ballet recital." Walder said. Just then, Twilight stepped out onto the stage. As she slowly started dancing to the ballet music, she summoned a couple of her shadows with her power to dance with her. Finn and Vuto watched lovingly at their girlfriend's dancing talent. Twilight and her shadows increased their dancing speed as the music began picking up. "Wow. She's good." Staldorf said, impressed. "Maybe. Where'd she learn to dance? In the dark?" Walder asked. Twilight finally brought her dance to a close as her shadows disappeared. "Lame!" Walder exclaimed as a tentacle grabbed Twilight and forced her into the seats with her friends. "Do you have any idea how much practice I've put into that dance?!" Twilight exclaimed. "We're looking for a star, not a snooze maker." Staldorf said. "Alright, let's see who's next." Walder said.

Lavender walked out onto the stage, holding several objects in her arms. "Don't tell me Lavender's gonna try a juggling act." Piper said with worry. "Not to worry, guys. Check this out." Lavender said. Her eyes glowed magenta as she used her psychic powers to levitate the objects and move them around like they were dancing on air. "Ooh, now that's dancing." Walder said. "Sure. It's more boring than cooking veggies in a slow cooker." Staldorf said. As Lavender set the objects down, one of the tentacles snatched her and forced her into the seats with her friends. "Hey! That was a great trick! Are you guys seriously talent-blind or something?!" Lavender exclaimed angrily. "Honestly, what is it with these kids today? Don't they have any kind of talent?" Walder asked. "How should I know? I haven't seen anything I would consider talent." Staldorf said. Just then, Aerrow and Aria hopped onto their box. "Alright, you 2, show's over!" Aerrow exclaimed. "Yeah! It's curtain call for you, you ugly gnomes!" Aria exclaimed. "Oh! How dramatic." Walder said in awe. "The kids' got style." Staldorf said. "Call off your tentacle monster. Or whatever that thing is." Aerrow demanded. But then, Walder started chuckling. "The first rule of a good performer, kids, know your audience." He said. "Right. That thing as you call it…" Staldorf started to say. "Is us." They said simultaneously, revealing themselves to be part of the tentacle monster, much to Aerrow and Aria's shock. "Oh! That's…actually really creepy." Aerrow said. "Yeah. I don't know if I'll be able to sleep tonight." Aria said. Suddenly, the entire box started to rumble, throwing Aerrow and Aria off balance. Just then, a giant green-furred monster burst out of the box and grabbed Aerrow and Aria with its tentacles, roaring in their faces before forcing them into the seats with their friends.

"I've had it with this terra!" Staldorf exclaimed. "Hey. Look." Walder said, pointing to the stage. One of their tentacles was forcing Stork onto the stage, who started chuckling in fear and nervous. "So, this is all we got left?! I think it's time to close down this production…permanently." Staldorf said, evilly.

Stork felt his entire skeleton shaking in fear as Staldorf and Walder stared down at him, their tentacles surrounding him on all sides. "Um…I'm…" He tried to say into the microphone. Just then, the conductor tapped his conducting wand and the orchestra started playing. And then, Stork started to talk.

I'm feeling dread

I'm from the horns on my feet and on my head

I…can't breathe

The Storm Hawks stared in awe as the orchestra started playing a guitar as Stork's act progressed into a rap.

I don't even know how I'm able to speak

I shouldn't be here

I'm sensitive you know

Last thing I want is to be part of a horrible

Darkness is falling, it's all closing in

That's it, goodbye, I've reached a deep end

All of you watching, you'll see my demise

Please show me some mercy and cover your eyes

Farewell cruel world

Um…I'll be fainting now

Stork passed out as he finished with a cymbal ding. "Uh…wow." Aerrow said in awe. "Stork." Aria said in amazement. The crowds all started cheering. Even Staldorf and Walder gave each other a hug. "Wow. That was so cool. It puts my light guitar to shame." Finn said in awe. "That's my Stork." Lavender said, smiling proudly.

"Thank Atmos it's over." Stork said in relief. "Over?! This is just the beginning!" Staldorf declared as a tentacle hoisted Stork up. "You want me to do that…again?" Stork asked, shocked. "And again. And again, and again! 7 shows a week!" Walder explained. "2 on Sunday. You'll be famous." Staldorf added. "And we'll be rich! We'll make thousands." Walder said. "Millions." Staldorf added. "Billions!" Walder added as the tentacles started shoving flowers, gift baskets and contracts in Stork's face. "Uh, what comes after billions?" Staldorf asked. "Uh…kazillions." Walder said. "Exactly." Staldorf said, poking Walder's nose. Just then, Stork grabbed the tentacle and shocked them hard. "You've got the wrong guy!" He exclaimed before making a run for it. "Wait! Come back!" Walder exclaimed as he and Staldorf recovered from his lightning attack. "Where did he go?" Staldorf asked. As they looked through the audience, they heard a girl scream and spotted Stork. "There he goes!" Staldorf exclaimed. They ripped off a piece of the seats, exposing Stork before he started running again. "Wait! We just wanna talk!" Walder exclaimed as they started to chase Stork, not noticing that they were accidentally freeing the other Storm Hawks from their tentacles. "Time to help our friend." Aerrow said, taking off his scarf and unveiling the Atomic Crystal.

Stork ran out of the theater as Staldorf and Walder burst out and chased him. "We'll stock your dressing room with your favorite candy! You can have your own limo!" Walder exclaimed, trying to be reasonable. But Stork just kept running. "Whatever it takes!" Walder exclaimed. "Hold on. Let's not give away the farm here." Staldorf said. "I am not getting back on stage! I would rather jump into the Wastelands!" Stork exclaimed as he ran up to the edge of the terra and jumped off, falling towards the Wastelands. As he fell, he tugged on a cord on his uniform. But nothing happened. He continued tugging it, hoping for the worst. Finally, as he reached the Wastelands, his emergency balloon inflated itself, saving him from his fiery demise. As he floated through the Wastelands, Staldorf and Walder had actually followed him down. "You'll have trading cards, action figures, your own fan club." Walder said as they continued chasing him. "I don't want any of that!" Stork exclaimed. "Fine! Then tell us what you do want." Walder said. "I am not getting back on stage." Stork said clearly. "We're willing to negotiate." Staldorf said. Just then, as Stork hit the steam geysers, he was grabbed by one of the tentacles. "Gotcha!" Walder exclaimed as they tore off Stork's balloon and sent it sputtering off. "For the last time, I am not going back on stage!" Stork exclaimed. "We're producers, kid." Staldorf said. "We don't take orders from the talent." Walder added, slapping Stork with the other tentacles. "And you are ours now. Which means the show will go on!" Staldorf declared.

Just then, Stork saw something behind them. "You sure about that?" He asked with a sly grin. Staldorf and Walder turned around to see the Skylight Guardians flying right towards them. Just then, Stork glowed as he transformed into his Skylight Guardian form, surprising them. "And for the record, the audience I prefer to sing to…are my friends." He said, giving Staldorf and Walder an electric jolt, making them let him go. "And this is for criticizing my light guitar, freak!" Finn exclaimed, firing 3 light arrows from his light bow. The arrows struck Walder, blinding him. "Argh! I can't see!" He cried, covering his eyes. "And you don't like my singing?! Then how about a barrage of coral spears?!" Francine exclaimed, firing a barrage of coral spears. The spears started scratching up Staldorf and his suit. "Hey! This is an expensive suit!" He exclaimed. Starling followed with a starlight assault. Skyler fired a fire stream from his hands. Skyla slammed her feet on the ground and summoned earth spikes. Odessa summoned multiple aura spheres and fired them. Sky fired a powerful jet of water from his hands. Amy Lu fired an ice beam from her hands. The multiple attacks struck Staldorf and Walder hard, knocking them down. Mimi summoned a wave of magma and splashed Staldorf and Walder where they landed. They jolted up and screamed in pain from their hot seat. Riggorix charged in with an angry roar and slashed their monstrous body with his Mercury Claws. Vuto leapt up at Staldorf and Walder, and gave them both each a chi powered kick. Twilight coated her fists with her shadows and fired them at Staldorf and Walder, punching them hard in their faces. Lavender used her psychic powers to levitate them, spun them around rapidly and tossed them aside. Junko and Judy leapt up and knocked them down with their plasma and energy punches, knocking them out. The Skylight Guardians cheered as they high-fived each other. "Good work, team." Aerrow said.

But then, Staldorf and Walder recovered and started angrily charge towards them. Aria conjured a mana trip-line and tripped them, knocking them down again. Radarr clapped his hands and created a time sphere around them, slowing them down as they started to recover. Piper motioned her hands and encased their monster body in a crystal prison, leaving their heads un-crystallized as Radarr dropped his time sphere. "Well, I guess this concludes our negotiations." Aria joked. "You can't do this to us! Our all-star review opens on Terra Bogaton in a week!" Walder exclaimed. "Yeah, I'm gonna pass on that." Stork said with a smirk. "You haven't seen the last of us, Skylight Guardians. We'll have us a star yet." Staldorf said. "Yeah. You can't stop producers." Walder added. "Oh, I think I can change that." Aerrow said, holding out the Atomic Crystal. Staldorf and Walder panicked, pleading no as the Atomic Crystal unleashed a blinding light.

Later, after transforming back into the Storm Hawks and returning to Terra Neon to have a little more fun, the Storm Hawks left the terra. "Well, Stork, we're proud of you." Aerrow said. "Yeah. You not only became a star, but you also saved a whole terra. Not bad for a Tuesday." Aria said. "Yeah. You know, it wasn't that bad. It was terrifyingly, gut-squeezingly, poke-a-hole-in-your-head-and-pour-Flame-Corn-in-it…awesome!" Stork exclaimed as Piper and Lavender walked up. "Nice to see your time in the spotlight hasn't changed you." Aerrow said. "Yeah. Nothing could ever change my man." Lavender said as she cuddled up to her lover. "Do you guys think we've actually seen the last of that thing?" Piper asked with worry. "Don't worry, Piper. I guarantee that thing won't be anymore trouble after what I did with the Atomic Crystal." Aerrow assured.

Back on Terra Neon, Staldorf and Walder were revealed to have been turned into a stone statue due to the curse that Aerrow put on them with a bit of help of the Atomic Crystal's curse magic. They were placed in the middle of the terra as part of a new centerpiece attraction for the customers.

Wow! How was that? The Storm Hawks go to the famous Terra Neon for the weekend, but find that it's completely empty. They find everyone captive in the Constellation Theater by a giant monster with 2 living heads, Staldorf and Walder, who forces them to audition. But after Stork impresses them with his rap, they chase him into the Wastelands. Luckily, the Skylight Guardians were able to stop them just in time. And now, the time has finally come. Storm Hawks, along with Slugterra and Hot Wheels Battle Force 10 are officially on hiatus as we finally come to the start of Heroix Crusaders: Ethereal! Leave a review if you'd like.
