A/N; I now it's taken me forever to update and I am sorry. My inspiration ran away and I finally found it. Thank you all for the reviews and I'm glad you all like the story. As a peace offering for not updating I am going to make this chapter really long. Be prepared for a lemon and lots of flashbacks. And it will not end in a cliffhanger…if I can help it. No guarantees on that last part. So here is the next chapter.

Chapter Six

Flashbacks.

Cyclonis walked into her bedroom, a small blue crystal in her hand. She went over to her bed and stood over the sleeping figure that lay in it. Aerrow's eyes were closed and his face was peaceful. He in the bed half naked, his shirt having been removed when she had her medics look him over. Luckily he hadn't had any serious injuries, just a large bump on his head. She couldn't help but smile down at the sleeping red-head. She ran a hand across his cheek, down his neck, and over his firm chest. He was very handsome, he had grown and matured a lot over the past three years.

She sat down on the bed beside the sleeping sky knight and thought back to when she had fist saw him. He had barged into her storm engine room and demanded the Aurora stone back. She hadn't thought anything special of him back then. He was just an annoyance and a small hindrance to her plans. But after the first year of fighting and all of the defeats her talons had received by him and his squadron, she took an interest in him. First she had thought Piper was the key and tried to persuade her to join Cyclonia. She failed, but she did learn something. Piper wasn't the key part of the Storm Hawks. It was Aerrow.

So she started having him watched. She observed him for quite a while, learning all she could. She wasn't going to make the same mistake she did with Piper. She would move slowly, taking as long as she needed to. She would learn everything about him, inside and out, so she could get him to join her with ease. The only problem was after a few months she started having feelings for the young sky knight. He was brave, strong, and a natural born leader, but he was also innocent, kind, and sincere. She reminded her so much of Zackary.

Zachary had been one of her father's, the previous Master Cyclonis, top guards. He had been only fifteen when he was reached the status of top guard. Her father instructed him to watch over her and protect her with his life. She was only six. He did his duty well. He was her loyal bodyguard and was always with her, keeping her from danger. But he was more than that to her. She quickly formed a bond with him. He was like a big brother to her.

Two years of happiness passed. It was her eighth birthday when it happened.

Flashback

Cyclonis sat before her vanity mirror, watching her reflection as she ran the comb though her short hair. Her black hair was shoulder length, her bright violet eyes glowed with anticipation and happiness. She was turning eight today, and her father had said he had a surprise of her. She was so excited that she couldn't really concentrate during her crystals lesson earlier that day. She put down the brush and got up from the mirror. She walked over to a drawer on the far side of the room. She pulled out top drawer and looked at all the crystal's inside it. She reached in and grabbed her favorite one. It was a bright crimson crystal.

There was a knock at her door. She turned around just as it opened and Zachary walked in. Zachary was now eighteen and he had grown into a very handsome man. His long black hair reached down to the small of his back. His dark brown eyes sparkled in the right light. He wore his Cyclonian armor as always, a large sword strapped to his back.

"Your father wants to see you," he said with a kind smile.

"Okay," Cyclonis shut the drawer and put her favorite crystal in her pocket. Zachary led her down the dark corridors and up several flights of stairs. They came to the throne room and Zachary held open the door for her. She walked in only to find it empty. Zachary followed her inside and shut the door behind him.

"What's going on? Where's father?" she asked, turning to face her big brother. Zachary had his back to her. There was a loud click as he locked the door.

"Your father is probably out looking for you," he said, his voice a deeper now. Cyclonis raised an eyebrow.

"But I thought you said my father wanted to see me?"

"He does. He just isn't going to be able to," Zachary drew his sword suddenly, the red crystal at the end sprang to life, surrounding the blade with its energy. Cyclonis' eyes widened as he pointed the sword at her. She was hit with a blast of energy and sent flying across the room. She hit the ground hard, landing on her shoulder. She cried out in pain as she gripped her hurt shoulder.

"What are you doing!?" she cried, tears welling up in her eyes.

"I'm going to kill you," he said with a sadistic grin on his face.

"What!? Why?!" She cried. She couldn't believe her big brother was doing this.

"Because the Atmos must be free of Cyclonia. Its amazed me how your father never found out I was a Sky Knight," he said as he stalked towards her. Cyclonis tried to crawl away but wasn't fast enough. Zachary's gloved hand came down and grabbed a handful of her hair. He pulled hard and threw her onto the throne. Cyclonis cried out in pain as tears rolled down her cheeks.

"Now you die," Zachary walked up to the throne, his sword held over his head. Just as he was about to bring down the sword the throne room doors were blasted off their hinges and collapsed onto the floor. Zachary turned around to face a very pissed Master Cyclonis. Cyclonis craned her neck to see her father as he walked into the room, crystal staff aimed directly at Zachary.

"Get away from her," Cyclonis' father growled through clenched teeth.

"Make me," Zachary responded before launching himself at Master Cyclonis. Cyclonis watched in horror as her father and her big brother fought for their lived. As the battle raged on, it seemed like her father would be the victor. Zachary was forced to the ground and Master Cyclonis had his staff to his neck.

"Any last words," her father said as the crystal at the end of his staff started glowing brightly.

"Yeah," Zachary suddenly raised his foot and kicked Master Cyclonis in the groin. Her father toppled, giving Zachary the chance he needed. He took his sword and stabbed it straight though her father's heart.

"Go to hell," he spat as he withdrew his sword from Master Cyclonis' chest.

Cyclonis stared in horror as her father crumbled to the ground, his eyes lost their light, and he exhaled his last breath.

"Now your turn," Zachary said as he lifted himself off of the ground. Cyclonis started at her father's corpse. He was dead, she knew it. She would never hear his voice again, never be held by him. She was all alone. White hot rage built up inside of her. She took the red crystal from her pocket and aimed it at Zachary. Before he knew what hit him red lightning burst from the crystal and struck him in the chest. He flew back against the far wall and was pinned there. The lightning coursed over his body, burning his flesh. He screamed out in pain as his skin was slowly turning black.

"You killed my father," Cyclonis growled as she stood up on the throne.

"You took him away. I will never forgive you!" She screamed at him. Her anger seemed to draw out even more of the crystal's power as the quantity and the intensity of the lightning bolts increased. Zachary continued to squirm and scream as his flesh began to peel and crack. His screams caught the attention of the guards and they rushed into the throne room. The sight of Cyclonis standing on the throne, her once kind violet eyes now filled with anger and hatred, a firebolt crystal in her hand, and Zachary being roasted alive on the wall was one of the most frightening things any of them had ever seen.

Zachary's screaming suddenly cut out and his body went limp. Cyclonis lowered the crystal and let his charred remains fall to the floor.

"My father is dead. Make arrangements for his funeral. As for him," Cyclonis said, in a dark voice that didn't seem to belong to the eight year old girl, and motioned towards Zachary's corpse, "Throw him out with the rest of the trash. I am now the new Master Cyclonis."

End of Flashback

That was the day the old her died and the fierce, cruel, and frightening Master Cyclonis was born. Her subjects feared her and obeyed every order she gave and the rest of Atmos came to fearing her and her talons.

Cyclonis looked over at Aerrow again and ran her hand though his hair. 'I know you won't be like him. You're better than him, I know it,' she thought to herself as she watched the sky knight sleep.

Back on the Condor

Finn collapsed next to Piper, his body was hot and shiny with sweat. Piper's breath was heavy and her body felt like jell-o. Finn wrapped his arms around her and drew her to him. She nuzzled against his chest and breathed in deep. His musky aroma of testosterone, axel grease, and hair jell was her favorite scent. They had been together for a year now and she had loved every moment of it.

She couldn't pinpoint what moment she had fallen for him, but she whenever she did, she fell hard. Sure he was goofy, a slacker, and a bit of a creep. But it was all those qualities that attracted her to him. He helped her relax and he was always there to make her smile when she needed to.

She may not know when she fell for him, but she remembered when they both told each other how they felt.

Another Flashback

Piper sighed as she stood at the helm of the Condor. Stork had convinced himself that he had some rare disease and the only cure was to soak in a tube full of hot spring water that was only found on Terra Merb. He was currently locked up in his room, curled up on his bed rocking back and forth. Aerrow and Junko had left to go get the water while she and Finn stayed on the Condor.

She heard the sound of metal moving and felt the small whoosh of air that only comes from someone entering the bridge. She glanced over her shoulder to see Finn walk into the room and collapse on a chair.

"Stork is way too paranoid. He wouldn't even let me in to see how he's doing. Said something about melting flesh and swollen eyeballs or something," Finn let out a loud sigh and put his head back.

"Nothing we can do then. We just have to hope Aerrow and Junko get back soon," Piper said and turned her attention back to the skies. Little did she know, once she turned around Finn's eyes went straight to her ass. He silently licked his lips at the thoughts he was having. His eyes traveled upwards, gazing at her back, up over her shoulders, and at the back of her head. She was by far the most beautiful girl he had ever seen. He had started watching her and started having intimate thoughts about her after the whole Lark ordeal. They could have lost her. He could have lost her. Coming that close to losing her he started taking nothing for granted. Every moment he was with her he cherished.

He had to tell her how he felt. They were alone so no one could laugh at him. He slowly stood up and walked over to her.

"Uh..Piper?" he said, his voice cracking a bit.

"Yeah?" she looked over her shoulder at him.

"Piper, I want to tell you something," he said as he scratched the back of his head.

"What is it?" Piper raised an eyebrow at Finn's statement. 'He sounds so serious. This is so unlike him,' she thought.

"Piper…I…" Finn stammered. He wanted to just say 'I like you' but he couldn't do it. He stepped towards her, his blue eyes locked on her golden eyes. Piper turned from the controls to face Finn. He took a few steps towards her until their faces were only a few centimeters apart. She could feel his warm breathe wash over her face and it sent goose bumps down her arms.

"Piper, I like you, a lot," The words just came pouring out of Finn's mouth. Piper opened her mouth to say something, but she was silenced when Fin's lips collided with hers. Piper's eyes widened as Finn wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her close. His mouth seemed to meld with hers. Slowly her eyes closed as and her arms snaked around his neck. His tongue made it's way into her mouth, deepening the kiss. Piper couldn't help but moan into Finn's kiss.

Suddenly Piper felt her feet leave the ground. She opened her eyes to see Finn carrying her towards the table they had set up on the bridge. He laid her down and leaned over her, never once breaking the kiss. His hands rubbed up and down her sides. Piper shivered as Finn's hands ran up and down her body.

After what seemed like forever, their lips parted and Finn started into her eyes. His hands slipped up under her shirt, his fingertips glided across her stomach, up to her chest. Piper gasped as Finn's warm hands cupped her breasts, and started rubbing them. Finn leaned down and put his lips to her neck. He kissed along her jaw line, from one side to the other. Once he reached the other side he started sucking on the delicate and sensitive skin. Piper squirmed beneath him, moaning softly.

Finn removed his lips from Piper's neck and examined his handiwork. A large blazing red hickey now decorated Piper's neck. He smiled at the mark he left. A mark showing she was his now. He took one hand from out of her shirt and lifted up her shirt. He raised it up over her head and threw it to the ground. Next he lowered his head to her chest. He wrapped his lips around one of her soft pink nipples and started sucking, licking, and teasing it. Piper moaned his name as she shuddered beneath him, exciting him all the more.

He took his free hand and unclasped his pants, letting them fall to his ankles. He stepped out of them, effectively making him half naked. He had given up wearing underwear long ago, enjoying the freedom of going commando. He took his mouth off of her nipple and started kissing downward, laying a trail of soft kisses down her stomach to the waistband of her pants. He looked up at her, his blue eyes pleading her for permission to continue. She nodded once and bit her lip, hoping this wasn't a mistake. She did like him, and she had fantasized about this, but now that the moment was here, she was a bit nervous.

Finn smirked and undid her pants. He slid them down her legs and dropped them on the floor. He took hold of her dark purple underwear and slipped them off as well. He stood up and took hold of Piper's waist. He lifted her up and put her further up on the table. He crawled on top of the table and straddled her hips. He put his lips to hers in a passionate kiss. His fingers trailed over every inch of her torso as they traveled down to her thighs. One hand made it's way to her entrance and started rubbing. Piper moaned as Finn stroked her, his fingertips sending sparks of pleasure through her body.

Piper gasped as she felt two of Finn's fingers slowly entered her. Finn slowly pushed them in as far as they would go and stopped, giving Piper's body time to adjust.

"Don't…stop," Piper moaned, her body aching for more. Finn nodded and started moving his fingers in and out. Piper moaned, the pleasure from just Finn's fingers was driving her wild. He started moving his fingers faster and faster. Piper had to bite her lip to hush her moans. The last thing she wanted was Stork walking in on the two of them.

Finn pulled out his fingers and lifted Piper's legs up onto his shoulders.

"It may hurt at first, but it will feel good," he said before pushing his long throbbing member into her. Piper gripped the sides of the table, a long moan escaped her lips. Finn pushed in all the way, pulled back, and thrust into her. Piper's breath hitched in her throat. Finn moved in and out of her slowly at first, letting her body get used to his inside of her. He started thrusting faster and harder, grunting as he did so. Piper's moans echoed throughout the bridge. Sweat formed on both their bodies as they lost themselves in the rhythm of their love making.

"Piper…I cant hold on much longer," Finn groaned as his thrusts started going faster. Piper knew what he had meant. A few more thrusts was all it took. Finn pushed in as deep as he could go and released. Piper moaned his name as she felt his warm seed fill her. He collapsed on top of her with a heavy sigh. He held her and gently kissed her lips.

"I love you Piper," he whispered to her.

"I love you too, Finn."

End of Flashback

Piper smiled at as the memory of their first time swept though her mind. But their was one problem. Aerrow. She hadn't told him yet, but she needed to. She knew he had feeling for her, and it would be hard to break his heart, but he deserved to know. She nodded to herself and closed her eyes. She would try and tell him tomorrow. She just hoped he wouldn't be too hurt by what she was going to tell him.
