A Moon in the Sky [Finn X Oc X Stork]

Chapter 52 ~ NIGHTMARE: Part 1

The Storm Hawks were battling against the Dark Ace and a couple of talons, three talons were approaching Aerrow when Luna crept up from behind and played her new guitar as it sent an electrifying wave to them as their skimmers shut down and started falling.

Luna: Kapooya!! That's how it's done!!
Aerrow: Nice going Luna!!!
Mags: Watch out!!!

Aerrow ducked as Mags flew past him and started blasting at any talon in his way, while Aerrow flew up next to him and smiled.

Aerrow: Awesome aim, Mags
Mags: [blushes] Thanks

Just then, Aerrow flew ahead as he clashed against the Dark Ace's ride while they prepared to duel against each other.

Aerrow: Give up, Dark Ace. You're done
Dark Ace: Fufufu, Oh Aerrow, I think it's time for you to take a long enduring sleep

Before Aerrow could reply, he and Radarr were hit by a purple blast that caused them to feel lightheaded and dizzy as they slipped and fell off his skimmer, while the rest of the Storm Hawks watch in horror as Aerrow fell off his skimmer, causing Mags to panic.

Mags: [eye widen] AERROW!!!!!!
Dark Ace: Fufufu, AHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!!!! Enjoy the nightmare you'll face, Aerrow

Mags quickly flew down to save Aerrow as he caught his hand and pulled him up to his skimmer, while Luna swooped in and saved Radarr. Mags glared at the Dark Ace as he flew away and retreated along with the rest of the Cyclonians. Mags quickly brought Aerrow to the Condor and helped him to the Medical Bay along with Piper who helped him carry him to a medical bed. The rest of the squad was worried while Luna tried to hold back a tear, Radarr was laying next to Aerrow's bed while Mags examined Aerrow and quickly checked for any signs of life or injured but found no injuries, however he was alive but not awake.

Mags: This is bad, Aerrow, please wake up
Piper: That crystal he had, I never seen a crystal like that in my life and I've been studying about crystals since forever
Finn: If you don't know what it is, then how will we know if-

[SLAM]

Mags: No!!! I refuse to believe that he is going to die, he can't [tear up]
Piper: We need to figure out that kind of crystal Dark Ace had, so we can figure out how to wake him up from this... Coma
Mags: [sniffs] You're right, crying won't help. We need an expert. We have to head to Terra Celestial, maybe their archives will have the answers to it

Meanwhile, in Cyclonia, the Dark Ace was back and Saturn was with Cyclonis as she worked on figuring out how to open the door when Dark Ace entered.

Cyclonis: Back so soon? How did it go?
Dark Ace: Exactly as planned
Cyclonis: Good, the Crystal did its job, now on to phase two... [takes the crystal] I'm genuinely impressed that this Crystal will have a strong effect, you know what this Crystal is called Commander Saturn, given that your sky knight son is a Crystal expert
Saturn: Yes, it's called a Pesadilla Crystal, in Spanish it means Nightmare
Cyclonis: [stands up] It also traps the person under a deep sleep as they endure a nightmare that the wielder can alter. All I have to do is alter Aerrow's dream into an even more terrifying nightmare, by taking away his powerful source... His squadron

Cyclonis placed the crystal on the pedestal as she alternate Aerrow dream and changed the path of how he first met his friends while letting out a sinister laugh, meanwhile, Aerrow was falling into midair as he hears the echoing voices of his friends.
