Plot
Chapter One: The Storm Hawks 
"Of course, you can't be Storm Hawks without these" - Lance says as he unvelis brand new sky rides to the soon to be Storm Hawks squadron
In the middle of the night twelve year old Aerrow is woken by his father, Lance, and is asked to go and wake up his friends for a reason yet unknown but must be seen immediatly. Whilst walking through the campsite, the Storm Hawks squadron have set up as a base for a large mission, Aerrow reflects of his fathers reasoning at wanting to show them all something out of the blue but quickly shrugs it off in remembering that Lance could be very impulsive, a trait that he shares with Aerrow. It is also noted the Aerrow and Lance appear to look very similar, with messy red hair and other features, although they differ in eye colour as Aerrow has emerald eyes whilst Lance has hazel eyes.
Upon entering his friends tent Aerrow wakes them with the news that they are to be shown something. Although momentarily annoyed by the wake up call they are soon awake and curious at what they could be shown. Piper, a girl of Aerrow's age with midnight blue hair and amber eyes, is the first to voice her curiousity which is quickly guessed at by Finn, a boy also of the same age with spiky blond hair and blue eyes, who wonders if Lance wants them to join in on the mission, which is revealed to be a battle of sorts. This is quickly dissmised by Piper, who gets annoyed at Finn for getting one of their other friends, Stork who is a young Merb, which is a species of green skinned humanoids with pointed ears, black hair and yellow eyes, frightened at the prospect of fighting. Junko, a Wallop, which are another species in Atmos that resembled large and strong humanoid rhinos, then points out that whatever it is, it seems important enough not to be left until morning which quickly encourages them to go and find out what it is.
As they leave the tent, however, a ill tempered man with black hair and red eyes barges past them. Aerrow identifies the man as Ace, his father's co-pilot, as he wonders what has overcome him, although he hasn't seen Ace in a number of years. Any further thoughts or concerns are quickly forgotten as Lance, now standing by a number of covered bulky objects, calls them over. After reminding the group that Aerrow is a offical Sky Knight, a form of authority which police Atmos, he revils that he wants them all, when they are at a appropriate age, to join the Storm Hawks squadron. This causes much excitement amounst the group, which is futher hightend by Lance showing the sky rides, large moterbikes and scooters which could changing into flying machines, which were underneath the covering, giving further proof that they are worthy of such an invitation.
Returning to their respecive tents, Aerrow finds the weight of expectation both exciting and nerving as he drifts of into sleep. At dawn the next morning, Lance is sitting in his tent dressed and ready for the battle whilst Aerrow is still asleep. Watching his son for a moment he considers what victory against Master Cyclonis, an evil and powerful tyrant, could mean for Atmos and Aerrow. His thoughts are then interupted by Rick, the pilot of the Storm Hawks ship, the Condor, who informs him its time to go and meet up with the other squadrons. A few hours later Aerrow wakes to find that he has overslept after wanting to see his father leave. After getting dressed and heading out into the centre of the camp, however, he finds a crowd of crying and upset people gathered, his friends included. It is revelaled that during the battle, which was deemed a sucsess after Master Cyclonis's forces were defeted and Cyclonis fled, the Storm Hawks were killed with the exception of Lance, who is now in hospital, and Ace, who has vanished without a trace. After hearning this Aerrow quickly packs and makes ready to leave for the hospital, though is momentarly halted by his friends, who insist of coming with him, before they all leave together.
Chapter Two: A Change in Leadership
"We train to become the new Storm Hawks squadron" - Aerrow tells Piper after finding the Condor.
Flying across the Atmos to Terra Atmosia, Atmos's capital Terra, Aerrow and his friends reach the hospital where Lance is being treated. After entering his father's room, Aerrow finds him in a dreadful state as Lance ultimatly reveals that it was Ace who is responsible for the Storm Hawks downfall, noting that there was something wrong with him. As Aerrow comes to terms with the betrayal, Lance warns him not to seek revenge by going after him before asking his son to look in a small leather pouch on a nearby table. Looking inside Aerrow finds a small red crystal amulet on a silver chair which Lance tells him is their family's crystal and that every member has one, also telling him that it may one day tell him something.
After three days Lance subcomes to his injuries, leaving the group to return to the camp and try and figure out what to do next. Amoung the suggestions are contacting the Sky Knight council, the establishment which loosly manages Sky Knight squadrons, and contacting the little relations they had left, though Junko and Stork were the only ones with known relatives, who as Wallops and Merbs wern't likely going to accomidate for outsiders. The disscustion continues until Aerrow suggests that they could try and find the Condor, noting that they were considered ready to join if not for their age. Agreeing to this they all then made ready to find the ship.
By scouting the wastlands, the volcanic landscape which lies at the bottom of Atmos's Terras, and through Piper's navigation skills the group soon find the wercked ship and begin assessing the damage. Grouping up in the bridge, where the controls of the ship are, Junko and Stork, who are the best with mechinics and knowladge about the Condor respectivly, soon deem it repairable. The sound of approaching engines soon bring everyone's attention to outside where, through the large front windows, they see two approching sky rides, who are identified as Talons, Cyclonis's supposedly deafeted forces. Knowing they wouldn't be able to confront them now when they wern't ready, Aerrow and Piper sneek out and around to the side of the ship where they can listen in on the Talon's conversation. Getting closer they realise that one of the Talons is Ace, his reasoning for beytraying his old squadron seemingly now clear, who recives the news that is order to burn the Stom Hawks camp to the ground had been followed through. As Aerrow watches he can't help but think back to watch his father said about Ace not looking himself, noting in particular that his eyes seemed distant and glazed. After they leave Aerrow knows that it is up to them to carry on the Storm Hawks squadron in order to stop Cyclonis and her forces once and for all.
Chapter Three: The Unofficial Squadron 
"The doors of the Sky Knight Council Hall slammed shut in front of the unofficial Storm Hawks" - The Storm Hawks are rejected by the Sky Knight council due to being judged too young to become a offical squadron.
In two years the new but yet still unofficial Storm Hawks squadron, now living on the repaired Condor, had trained and practiced their skills until they felt ready to travel to Terra Atmosia to become a offical squadron by the permision of the Sky Knight council. After parking the Condor on a nearby hill the Storm Hawks travel down to the main town square on their sky rides, where the council hall is. As they are parking a crowd of people gather, having grown hopeful at seeing the once famous symbol of the squadron, a hawk taking wing. Amoung them is a little boy who voices his excitment, but this is quickly put down by the boy's father who claims that they are not the 'real' Storm Hawks, which dissapoints everyone and soon disperses the crowd. After reminding each other that they soon will be offical, the squadron move on to the council hall.
Once they'd gone through the large amounts of paperwork and almost tedious prosess of the coucil, the squadron await judgement by the head of the coucil, a very old and grumpy looking man. After quite a long wait he finally agrees to making them a offical squadron before taking their names a positions. When asked to sign the document, however, Aerrow steps into the man's direct line of vision and as a result causes questions to be raised about their ages. This gets them rejected from becoming a official squadron as they are judged too young, much to their frustration. Whilst on the stairs of the coucil hall they see a group of sky rides arrive in the town square, who are Sky Knight Carver and the Red Eagles, Terra Atmosia's assigined squadron. Excited by this arrival, as was the gathering crowd, the Storm Hawks go down to meet them but find that the Red Eagles, particuarly Carver, are just as dissmisive about them being a squadron and leave soon afterwards, towards the beacon tower which houses Atmos's most powerful crystal, the Aurora Stone. After this second dissaproval, the Storm Hawks decide to call it a day and make ready to leave.
Chapter Four: Master Cyclonis 
"it's time to send a reminder, Atmos has and always will belong to me!" - Cyclonis vows to reclaim her power and hold on Atmos.
Across Atmos is Terra Cyclonia, home to Master Cyclonis and her forces, which is a dark and forbidding place with blood red skies and raging storms. In the large throne room, which houses Cyclonis's large crystal machine, Master Cyclonis, a dark haired and cold eyed woman, is adressing her lead commanders who include Bellatrix, a tall woman with long thick black hair, a strong jaw and heavy lidded eyes, a large and shaggy man called Greyback, Ravess, one of Cyclonis's best shooters, and a group of humaniod reptilians called Raptors (Repton, Hoerk and Spitz). During her speech Cyclonis, who keeps her back to back to them, talks about her once powerful hold on Atmos, blaming Sky Knights for her loss of power, as she plans to regian it through her rebuilt Talon forces and other 'new assistance'. Upon these words the doors of the room open as Ace, now a trained and deadly Talon, enters and voices his support to the plan.
Repton then chooses his moment to ask Cyclonis what benifits he and his two brothers will recieve for their loyatly and assistance. In responce to this, Cyclonis turns around and uses a crystal to lift Repton up into the air as she threatens his home Terra before letting him fall to the floor, gaining Reptons reluctant agreement. Cyclonis then reveals that she is ready to put her plans into motion.
Back on Terra Atmosia, the Red Eagles were approching the beacon tower when Carver, at the front of the group, suddenly halts at the enterance. This prompts some concern from his team but, unknown and unseen to them, Carver reaches for his blade before attacking them before they could react. The beacon tower, normally glowing with the light of the Aurora Stone, then loses it's light which causes much worry amoungst the residents. The Storm Hawks, who are back by their sky rides and are readying to leave, also notice the occourance decide to investigate and drive up to the tower. Upon arriving they see the Red Eagles, minus Caver, frozen solid whilst the door of the tower had been blown apart. Knowing they were dealing with someone powerful, The Storm Hawks decide to pursue the attacker.
Chapter Five: Carver's Betrayal 
"But all you are is a kid way out of his depth" - Carver taunts Aerrow as he tries to steal the Aurora Stone.
Reaching the top of the beacon tower, the Storm Hawks find that the Aurora Stone is no longer on it's pedestool. They then notice a soft glow, made by the stone, appear in a corner as the thief reveals himself. It is Carver, betraying his squadron and his Terra to Master Cyclonis. The Storm Hawks, however, refuse to let him walk away with the stone as Aerrow steps forward to challenge him. Confident against his younger and less experianced opponent, Carver, after much taunting, agrees to the fight as they both take out their blades, vaired crystal powered weapons used across Atmos, and begin fighting.
It is clear in the fight that Carver is stonger and quicker as he counters all of Aerrow's moves, throwing him across the room at one point where he continues to taunt him. This is his mistake as he underestimates Aerrow's abilities. But Aerrow, furious at seeing and hearing a fellow Sky Knight taunt and talk of betrayal, summons up a powerful and completely unexpected move which sends Carver flying into the Aurora Stone's pedestool, knocking him out. The rest of the Storm Hawks then come over, also amazed by the move which is identified as the Lightning Claw, a attack only Sky Knight have the ability to pull off and a sign that someone is truly ready to be one. The Aurora Stone is then returned to it's rightfull place as Carver is arrested and taken away.
Outside of the tower, now shinning with the Aurora Stone's light again, the Storm Hawks are approached by the Sky Knight counciler who asks them for a word, which Finn thinks is to ask them to protect the Terra now it is lacking a squadron but turns out to be a request to go and get help. Taking off in the Condor they start making plans to contact nearby Terra's squadrons so that the Aurora Stone woud have some protection.
Chapter Six: The New Plan
"Panic was the best word to fit the mood on the Condor" - The mood on board as the Storm Hawks prepare for their first real battle.
On Cyclonia, Master Cyclonis is informing Ace and Ravess of Carver's failier at the hands of a Sky Knight claiming to lead the Storm Hawks, something that she thinks not possible after ordering their and their families desruction. Ace also assures her it is just a rumour before he and Ravess are ordered to go and get the stone. After they leave Cyclonis goes back to working on her machine, unaware that one of her Talon guards, a petite woman with deep purple hair and olive eyes, is preparing to start her own plans.
On the Condor, Piper is showing the squadron a map of Terras that they are planning to contact whilst they discuss the Aurora Stone's importance and for what reason Cyclonis wanted it. At that moment the Condor's alarms sound, alerting them to a huge Cyclonian ship and fleet of Talons heading straight for Atmosia. The Storm Hawks then realise that they won't have time to go and get help before the Talons arrive at Atmosia, meaning that they will have to face them alone.
Rather panickly they manage to prepare for a fight as Piper and Stork stay on the Condor to try and take on the Cyclonian ship whilst Aerrow, Junko and Finn, who adds dangerous amounts of amunition to his sky ride, all take off on their rides in the hope of stopping the Talons. Once in the air, Finn's ride just about flyable under it's new weight, however, Piper spots through the periscope the Ace is leading the attack, promting her to warn Aerrow through the radio that they should retreat. Aerrow refuses, knowing that if they do the Aurora Stone will be stolen and that he had a score to settle at any rate. The Condor then begins firing at the Cyclonian ship as Finn and Junko head for the Talons whilst Aerrow goes straight for Ace.
Chapter Seven: First Fight
"Impossibly and unbelievably Aerrow felt himself spin faster as he fell" - Aerrow falls towards Atmosia.
As the fight begins Aerrow and Ace head straight for each other. Ace makes the first move by leaping out of his seat and holding his blade ready. Aerrow knows this is a risky move as he could now unbalence his ride and knock him off, something he tries to do. Ace, however, leaps out of the way and seemingly vanashes as Aerrow watches his sky ride fly past without it's rider, but in fact he has jumped onto Aerrow's ride. Pinning Aerrow by his shoulder he warns him of the consequeses of losing against him before leaping back onto his own ride. This, though makes Aerrow even more determined to stop him as he gives chase.
Across the sky, Junko is using his strength to destroy the Talon's skimmers with his fists whilst Finn is struggeling to aim and shoot due to the amount of weapons on his sky ride until Ravess, comes up from behind and aims a shot, a crystal arrow from her bow, which severs one of the ropes securing the weapons, causing them to come loose as Finn spins out of the way. Meanwhile Aerrow and Ace are battling furiously as they clash weapons, their rides dangerously close. Finn was now aimming at Ravess, who was also readying her weapon again, when they both shoot at the same time with Ravess's arrow, being the more powerful of the two, slicing through and continuing on as it cuts through Finn's sky ride, splitting it in half. Finn falls through the sky until he lands, crotch first, on the bow of Junko's ride.
The Condor, struggling against the mighter Cyclonian ship, is coming under heavy fire, loosing it's shields and running out of ammunition as Stork tries to pilot it. He quickly realises that if they do not retreat soon the Condor will be destroyed, to which Piper reluctantly agrees as they pull out and leave, with Finn and Junko going with them, as Talon's chase them away, leaving only Aerrow and Ace still fighting. After some more taunting from Ace, Aerrow unleases his Lightning Claw move but misses as he accidently lands on Ace's sky ride rather than his own. After trying to continue fighting, however, Ace kickes him off which sends Aerrow into free fall until he launches his foldable glider, which he carries as opposed to the parachute most people carried. But before he can get back to his ride Aerrow sees Ace swoop in and fire a blast at him which bends his glider, sending him into a rapid downwards spin. Unable to control his speed or direction, Aerrow hurtles towards Atmosia, eventualy crash landing in the main square, his glider having taken most of the impact. Before he is even able to recover and get back up he sees Ace standing over him in victory as Talons take the Aurora stone. Ace, however, does not kill him but instead taunts him over the defeat and warns everyone of Cyclonis's impending victory before he and the Talons leave with the Aurora Stone.
Chapter Eight: The Recovery Race
"We're doomed" - Stork says upon realising they are going to Cyclonia.
As the gathered crowd of residents comprehend their loss, Aerrow is left to pick himself up as the rest of the Storm Hawks arrive to see that he's aright. After assuring them he was, the group's attention is draw to the Sky Knight counciler, who voices his worries on Cyclonis having possestion of the Aurora Stone. Aerrow then tells him that he and his team will personally go to Cyclonia and get it back, much to the other Storm Hawks surprise. Across Atmos, Ace, Ravess and the Talons arrive on Cyclonia where Ace presents the Aurora Stone to Cyclonis, who then reveals a large and menecing machine she calls a storm engine. Cyclonis then takes the stone and places it in the machine, revealing that with it's power she will be able to use the storm engine to determine damage levels to specifc Terras, thereby gaining her fear, respect hold back over Atmos.
The Storm Hawks, alone in mounting a recovery mission for the Aurora Stone, are soon approching the boards of Cyclonia. As Piper and Stork remain on the Condor, Aerrow is flying besides it on his sky ride before he carries on through to Cyclonia whilst the Condor dives below the cloudline in order to sneak through the pipes at the bottom of the Terra. Finn and Junko, however, are already on Cyclonia, having smuggled themselves into a supplies container which is being delivered, as the squadron's plan begins to take shape.
Chapter Nine: Cyclonia
"It looks just as ugly below" - Piper describing Terra Cyclonia as the Condor sneaks in through the pipes.
As the Condor reaches Cyclonia's pipes and begins to make it's way through the underbelly of the Terra, Finn and Junko are sneaking through the corridors of Cyclonia in the hope of reaching the arranged meeting point with the Condor. Passing a door, however, Finn spots the Aurora Stone, unguarded, in the storm engine. Wishing to skip most of the plan, which would involve much more time and danger, Finn pursudes Junko, who is worried about abandoning Piper's carefuly laied out plan, that they should just grab it and leave before they sneak into the room. Finding the stone too high up to reach Finn stands on Junko's shoulders and makes a few attempts to grab it, the stone now only inces from his hands. But before they can take it, Cyclonis appears with two guards, one of whom is the small purpled hair woman from earlier.
On the Condor Piper and Stork, unaware of the problem continue to navigate the pipes as they continue on with the plan. In Cyclonis's throne room, Finn, still standing on Junko's shoulders, tries to shoot Cyclonis but fails as one of the guards destroys the arrow with his own weapon, with the blast carrying on and knocking Finn and Junko out cold. Cyclonis then uses her own crystal staff to lift the pair into a large glass cage, attached to the storm engine. When Finn and and Junko come around they find themselves locked inside, unable to break out, as Cyclonis wonders aloud if they are the only intruders.
Aerrow meanwhile is flying straight through Cyclonian's skies when he spots a approching group of Talons, lead by Ravess, who fires a few shots at Aerrow as she nears. With the arrows bouncing off his ride, Aerrow is forced to fly up out of the way as he tries to come up with a plan. Whilst he his flying upwards, with the Talons and Ravess circling below, however, Aerrow recalls a risky move he'd seen his father do and tries it. By jumping off his sky ride as it carries on climbing Aerrow pulls out his blades as slices through all of the Talon's and Ravess's sky rides before landing safely back on his own ride which had switched to autopilot and followed him down. As Aerrow carries on, he is unaware that Ace had been watching him through binoculars on one of the Terra's docks.
The Condor meanwhile is traveling through the pipes of Cyclonia when they are followed and attacked from behind by Repton and his brothers, forcing Stork to speed up the ship, making it bounce against the sides of the pipe. Repton, however, continues to give chase until Stork, fed up with ruining the Condor, slams on the brakes, causing Repton and his two brothers to slam into the back of the ship, crumpeling their rides, before sliding to the floor and allowing the Condor to carry on without interuption.
Chapter Ten: Revelations
"Lance was my older brother" - Ace reveals the truth to Aerrow.
With word of Ravess's defeat reaching Cyclonis, she decideds to take care of this interuption by ordering her two guards to go and get more Talons and take care of it before turning to Finn and Junko, still locked in the glass cage, and warning them not to expect a rescue. Meanwhile the Condor finds its meeting point in one of the pipes but ends up getting wedged in, the pipe having been slightly too small, leaving it in the right place but at the same time stuck too.
Aerrow, having landed on the main Terra, is making his way through the corridors when he comes across Ace in a passageway. After a brief confruntation, Ace gains the upper hand by knocking Aerrow to the floor with a crystal blast, but much to Aerrow's surprise, Ace does not kill him for a second time that day but rather stands staring at him, specificaly Aerrow's amulet which has come out from underneth his top. Finding this strange, Aerrow is left in puzzlement as Ace then chooses to quiz him on where he got his aumlet, prompting Aerrow, now even more confused, to tell him that his father gave it to him. Much to Aerrow's shock and surprise Ace then knows who he is as he shows him a identical amulet he has in his possestion before he reveals the Lance was his older brother, making him Aerrow's paternal uncle.
Growing mad as he takes in the news, Aerrow demands the truth on why his new found uncle betrayed his brother and old squadron. Ace confesses that he has no idea and that Cyclonis must have done something to make him commit his crimes, promting him to not have a clear memory since before the battle two years previously, only regaining it after meeting Aerrow. Seeing some truth in the story, also giving an explanation to many loose ends including why Ace had been so lenient at Atmosia, Aerrow decideds that he cannot stop and sort this out and must carry on with stopping Cyclonis. Ace tries to offer his help as he tells Aerrow that Cyclonis is planning to use the Aurora Stone to take over Atmos, but Aerrow refuses on the grounds that he and his team already have a pre-arranged plan which he does not want to risk for the sake of his squadron's safety. He insead tells him to stay away from them and Cyclonis before carring on, leaving Ace to do no more but to warn him of Cyclonis's power and watch him leave.
Chapter Eleven: A New Ally
"I take it your the Sky Knight who's been irritating Cyclonis?" - Starling asks Aerrow upon meeting him.
As Finn and Junko wait nervously for any news, Cyclonis ignoring the interuption and continuing with her work, Aerrow continues through Cyclonia until he comes across three Talons. Confident of victory, Talons being much less skilled than any squadron member or Sky Knight, he prepares to fight them when the door behind the Talons open to reveal a larger group of Talons, leaving Aerrow vastly outnumbered. Before any fighting can occour, however, Aerrow sees a small crystal studded roll through the crowd of Talons which then sends out a pulse of energy amoung them, knocking all but one, the purpled haired woman who had been guarding Cyclonis before. Insted of fighting she quickly tells Aerrow that she is a lone Sky Knight named Starling, who, despite only being Aerrow's age, has been working undercover after having heard rumours that Cyclonis was planning a comeback. She also tells him that Finn and Junko are being held by Cyclonis before she leads him towards the throne room.
Cyclonis, still working on her machine which is gaining more and more power from the Aurora Stone, is compenplating her plans when Aerrow and Starling arrive and warn her to stop, give back the Aurora Stone and release Finn and Junko. Cyclonis, however, does not seem worried by their warnings as she uses a strange and unknown form of power to summon her staff and levitate herself closer to them before firing blasts, which are quickly countered. Starling then tells Aerrow to go and get the stone and help his friends whilst she holds of Cyclonis. As Aerrow tries to free the stone and Finn and Junko, Starling and Cyclonis face off and exchange shots before Starling hides herself behind on of the rooms pillars, allowing time to try a sneak attack. But as she tries to catch Cyclonis off guard Cyclonis swings round and knocks her out with her staff, propting Aerrow to come to her aid and face Cyclonis on his own. Trying every move he can, including his Lightning Claw move, Aerrow quickly realises he is fighting a losing battle as Cyclonis uses her much stronger form of powers against him. With the attacks bouncing around, one even splintering the glass cage Finn and Junko are in, Aerrow fails to notice Ace sneak up behind him, giving Cyclonis a boost of confidence. Ace, however, just as he is about to fire, warns Aerrow to duck and knocks Cyclonis out instead.
Chapter Twelve: Destruction and Escape
"Cyclonis was finished, besides he and his team still had to get out of here before it was destroyed." - Aerrow leaves Cyclonis in the middle of her ruined Terra.
With Cyclonis knocked out, Ace goes over to Aerrow, who is a little angered at his interferance but eventualy accepts his help in getting everyone and the stone off the Terra. Before they can move, however, Cyclonis comes round and reveals that Ace has been under a powerful hypnotic spell which forced him to commit his crimes, including his betrayal of the old Storm Hawks, though resulted in memory loss over the years. Aerrow momentarily wonders of Caver had been under the same effect, but Cyclonis tells him that he wasn't and that Carver's betrayal was of his own free will. Knowing the spell was now broken Cyclonis then states that she has no further use for Ace and that she no longer has any paticence to deal with Aerrow before she fires a blast at them, knocking them both out.
Cyclonis then returns to her machine, which is now entering is final stage of powering up, but quickly notices Aerrow coming to and goes over to finish him off. Ace, however, who is also coming round, distracts her by warning her about Aerrow's mother, which oddly makes Cyclonis suddenly fearful and angry as she decides to finish Ace off first. But her attack is stopped by Aerrow, who is now on his feet and ready to fight. Cyclonis then tries to attack him, but misses as Aerrow jumps onto the storm engine, before trying to attack again but missing and smashing the damaged glass cage, freeing Finn and Junko. Before Cyclonis can attack again, Starling, also back on her feet, stops her, giving Aerrow the chance to, with no other option left, destroy the Aurora Stone with his blade.
The stone's power, however, continues pouring out which, now dangerously unstable, begins to destroy the structure of the Terra from the inside. Cyclonis, now beyond furious at Aerrow for destroying her plans, continues trying to attack him, though Aerrow ignores her, knowing she is finished as his priorites change to getting his team off the Terra. Seeing Finn and Junko leave ahead of Aerrow ensures that Starling is ready to go before going to help Ace, much to Starling's surprise as she hadn't heard Cyclonis's confestion earlier. After being pursuaded by Aerrow, however, she helps him in getting Ace, still slightly unsteady on his feet, out too. As they are leaving though, Cyclonis tries a last ditch attempt in stopping them, firing a blast which just clips Aerrow's arm, before the roof of the room collapses in on top of her and burying her under the remains of the Terra as Aerrow, Starling and Ace make their escape.
On the Condor, Stork is trying desperatly to free the stuck ship when Finn and Junko arrive via the original intenteded hatch above and warn them of Cyclonia's impending destruction. Piper tells them, after scaulding them about being late and off plan, that they cannot leave for one thing without Aerrow and that the Condor is stuck anyway. In the runined corridors of Cyclonia, Aerrow, Starling and Ace make their way to the hatch where the Condor is below. Managing to climb down to the ship they jump through the roof hatch, causing a moment of panic when the Storm Hawks see Ace until Aerrow gets them back on getting out of the crumbeling Terra. Whilst trying to figure out a way to get the Condor out of the pipe, by pure chance or very good luck, a group of ricks fall on the ship which tilt enough to slide out and get free of the pipe before Stork pilots it to safety, just as Cycloina collapses and is reduced to crumpled rock. Once the ship is safe the squadron and Starling turn to Aerrow for an explanation for Ace's presence.
Chapter Thirteen: The Sky Knight Council
"We don't need to be official to know who we are, wherever Atmos needs help, the Storm Hawks will be there" - Aerrow tells the Sky Knight council after they refuse to make the Storm Hawks official a second time.
After telling his team and Starling the true reason for Ace's actions, making them all realise that Cyclonis, not Ace was responcible for the old Storm Hawks demise, it promts them to realise that they still have to explain themselves to the Sky Knight council, having destroyed the Aurora Stone in the process of stopping Cyclonis. Whilst they travel back to Atmosia, Piper starts coming up with a plan and defence to clear Ace as Aerrow explains everything to him.
As Aerrow finishes explaining, the burn on his arm, caused by Cyclonis's last attept to stop him, gives a painful twinge, something the Ace notices, making him reval that he was medical officer with the old squadron, and offers to treat it. Whilst Ace treats the burn, Aerrow takes his chance to find out why his father didn't tell him that Ace was his uncle, to which Ace replies that he and Lance didn't 'see eye to eye' and he only come back when he did to help with the battle, where at some point Cyclonis manages to put the hypnotics effect on him. Aerrow also asks why Cyclonis was so fearful of the though of his mother, promting Ace to tell him that the new Storm Hawks aren't the first people to specificaly get in Cyclonis's way.
Soon after the Condor arrives at Atmosia and the group face the Sky Knight council, who are more angered than grateful owing to the Aurora Stone's destruction and the attempt to clear Ace's name. The council, however, grudgingly accept that the squadron acted accourdingly and, after first reviewing nemerous cases of other people who have been hypnotised by Cyclonis, clear Ace of any and all charges and responsiblity but maintain their decistion to refuse the Storm Hawks from becoming an official squadron. Aerrow bluntly tells them that he and his team don't need to be offical in order to be a good squadron before they leave the council hall, leaving the counciler with a greater degree of respect for the young team.
Once back on board the Condor, now cruising through open skies, the Storm Hawks reveal that they want Ace to join the squadron as medica officer, to which he gratefuly accepts. As the rest of the squadron go to welcome Ace and make plans on what they could do next, Aerrow notices that Starling has slipped out of the room. He finds her readying to leave on her new sky ride, herself, Aerrow and Ace (unknown to him), having aquired new rides in Atmosia as their old rides had been on Cyclonia. Aerrow also offers Starling the chance to join the squadron too, but, although she has made new friends which she will see and work with again, she refuses as she prefers to 'fly alone' before taking off onto clear blue skies.
