Luna's P.O.V
The next few days Aerrow informed us about a mission Scorpio wanted us to help, so we flew to Terra Celestial where my family was there to greet us along with the Zodiacs. When we landed on the runway, Stork lowered the ramp as I ran up to my cousin and hugged him.
Luna: Scorpio!!
Scorpio: Hey little cousin [lift Luna up] Look at you, haven't changed a bit
Luna: Yep
Scorpio: Aerrow, welcome back to Terra Celestial
Aerrow: Glad to be here, I see your people are repairing the Altar of the Moon
Scorpio: Yes, our community is growing stronger than ever and helping fix it back up
Celenia: [gasp] Dios mio!! [examine the Storm Hawks] Look at you kids, you're all skinny!! [glares] Luna
Luna: [eyes widen] Uh oh
Celenia: Ven aquí, I'm not gonna hit you
Luna: You say that but you're actually gonna hit me with your slipper
Celenia: I'm not gonna hit you~
Scorpio placed me down gently as I slowly walked up to her, but my dumb brain was warning me until it was too late. She whacked me with her slipper.
Luna: Ow! Ow!
Celenia: Are you feeding the Storm Hawks at all?! Your future husbands are too skinny!!
Luna: Ow! Ow! Ow! I'm sorry! Ow!
Mags: Uh, is this normal?
Scorpio: It's normal, trust me. I fall for it all the time and she still whacks me, even when she tells me she wouldn't
The Storm Hawks looked at my cousin in shocked cause he's tall, he may be buff and tall but he's also afraid of his mom. After she finished whacking me, I ran to Finn hid behind him.
Moonlight: Enough, Celenia. The Storm Hawks fought against Repton and his Raptors. They may be starving, come join us for a delicious breakfast
My grandma escorted us to her home as she and aunt Celenia helped the chefs prepare a meal for us, we all ate and talked until Aerrow spoke to Scorpio.
Aerrow: So, Scorpio. What is it that you need us to do? What kind of rescue mission is it?
Scorpio: It's the kind that will gain the resistance's trust
Piper: The Cyclonian Resistance
Scorpio: Yes, as you can see the resistance is now expanding. We have more than 117 talons joining our resistance, most of them have family, other have loved ones that wish to get them to safety away from Cyclonia
Finn: Whoa~
Luna: One hundred and seventeen talons joining the resistance?
Scorpio: Yep
Aquarius: All thanks to Capricorn's mother, Saturn. She rallied them up and now they're helping deliver some intel on what the commanders and Cyclonis are up to. Including Repton
Aerrow: That's how you knew we were innocent. They told you what Repton was up to
Scorpio: Indeed, we couldn't tell the other Sky Knights cause they wouldn't believe us until we have evidence. That's why I sent Aries and Virgo to gather clues, with Aries spy skills he was able to stay incognito and follow Repton as he gathered the proof, thanks to his ability to cloak himself and whatever he touches out of plain sight
Aerrow: Are you serious?
Just then someone tapped on Aerrow's shoulder spooking him as we looked back to see Aries standing behind him with a smile, as he crossed his arms.
Aries: Dead serious
Gemini: It helps him get around secured places, just like Cyclonia
Aquarius: Gemini here has a unique ability with her eyes. With her enhanced eyesight, it allows her to see objects through low visibility
Finn: Sweet
Aerrow: So she never misses, that's amazing
Scorpio: Not as amazing as Leo here, his super strength is incredible that even all tall building can't stand a change crushing him, he's even a pyro and can melt glass to make it something useful and beautiful
Junko: No way
Leo: Way
Aerrow: Let me guess, you were all born under a full moon and were granted abilities too, including elemental abilities. Like Luna
Aquarius: Spot on, Aerrow. You're right. We were all lucky to be born under the full moon
Aerrow: I'm sorry, we're getting a bit side tracked here. So what does the mission have to do with us?
Scorpio: We need your help to get the civilians to safety. We'll have an airship at the rendezvous point to pick them up, from there we will bring them to Terra Celestial where we'll set up a refugee camp for them to live until this evil is rid of
Aerrow: We'll be more than welcome to help
Mags: So how do you plan to get them to safety?
Scorpio: Well our sources have told us that there'll be a Battle of the Bands being held in Cyclonia. A perfect opportunity to distract Cyclonis and her commanders, including our biggest problem
Aquarius: Mr. Moss
Luna/Mags/Aerrow: Oh no
Radarr: [squeak] [whines]
Aquarius: You two ran into him?
Luna: Uhhh... More like, we left him-
Mags: We? You mean you!
Luna: We!!! Left him a present for his prison
The Zodiacs and Storm Hawks looked at me and Mags while I slid a bit down in my seat and smiled, knowing Mr. Moss he was probably not happy about the gift I left him.
Aquarius: Anyways, with the talons being busy guarding the concert. Our resistance members will make sure to keep an eye out if any talons are around our route, in the meantime we need someone for our band
Finn: Ask and you shall receive! Finn is here to join
Scorpio: Actually we were hoping to have Luna perform with us
Storm Hawks: What?!
Gemini: She has a killer voice and we need her to distract the audience
Aerrow: Can't Aquarius, Virgo, or Gemini be your singer?
Scorpio: Unfortunately two of them can't, Gemini will be helping Aries, Sagittarius, and Capricorn in escorting the civilians to safety. Aquarius will be our Manager, while Virgo will be our other singer. We needed one more
Aerrow: But-
Luna: Please Aerrow, I'll be very careful
Aerrow: But you'll be easily recognizable
Capricorn: Not unless she uses the Chroma Crystal
Aerrow: Even so, she'll still be recognized
Luna: [sigh] Time to bring out my hair growth serum
Finn: Your what?
After breakfast, I went to my room and grabbed my serum as I dropped a few drops on my shaved side of my head and on my short hair as it magically grow all the way to my butt, making the Storm Hawks jaws drop.
Luna: After this mission I'm shaving it back the way I love it
Aerrow: Well...
Mags: Aerrow, there's no way out of it
Aerrow: [sigh] Alright, you can join
Luna: Yes~
Scorpio: We'll keep her safe
Aerrow: In the condition that we can help. Piper and Junko can go with the others to help escort the civilians to safety
Finn: What about us?
Aerrow: Don't worry, I have something in mind
Scorpio: Great, let's get to work
We went back to the house as we practiced the music, the song, and instruments we would be playing while Aquarius was explaining to the Storm Hawks the path and the plan to stay stealth. Once we knew for sure we were ready, we got dressed to look the part, I was wearing a black hoodie with white splat on the bottom hem of my hoodie, black corset with a red rip tank over it, black shorts, and black leg garter holding my over the knee length socks, and wore black combat boots. I also fixed my hair to have more bangs on the side and it was colored black with a hint of red on the tips. Splashed on some smoky black and red eyeshadow and black eyeliner and black lipstick on. I stepped out of my room and out to the bridge where the Storm Hawks were waiting as they saw my new clothes, while Finn screamed in horror.
Finn: Oh my gosh it's worst than I thought!!! They made her EMO!!!!!
Luna: It's just temporary, besides it will go away
Aerrow: Alright, we know the plan. Piper and Junko will go with Capricorn, Aries, Sagittarius, and Gemini to help them out. Meanwhile Stork, Finn, Radarr, Mags, and I will be undercover to make sure the Commanders don't leave from their spot. We'll alert them if something changes, meanwhile Luna will distract the crowd with her singing voice and performance
Luna: I'm going as Eclipsa
Finn: Sweet~
Aerrow: Remember to be very careful
Mags: He's right, this is a dangerous and delicate mission, we need to be extremely cautious about it. No mistakes, no matter what
Storm Hawks: Right!
I hopped in on an airship with Scorpio, Leo, Pisces, Aquarius, Taurus, Cancer, and Libra. Associate we drove off to Cyclonia and landed where the bands have to park. I was feeling clammy about it but followed Scorpio, Leo, Aquarius, and Pisces as we were greeted by some talons and escorted to where we would register. Surprisingly we weren't suspected at all, thanks to the Chromo Crystals when we got to the booth Scorpio step up and spoke.
Scorpio/ZZ Skull: We're here to register for the Battle of the Bands
Talon Guard D: Alright, names of your members, please
Scorpio/ZZ Skull: The names ZZ Skull
Leo/TNT: my names TNT
Pisces/Hellhound: Hellhounds the name
Luna/Eclipsa: My name Eclipsa, remember that
Virgo/Venom: Venom, better watch out
Scorpio/ZZ Skull: Our Manager is Amelia, she'll be joining us
Talon Guard D: Very well, your band name
Scorpio/ZZ Skull: B.A.D.4. Stand for Bad and Dark
Talon Guard D: Alright, you're good to go. Just so you know you'll be given a room to rehearse and prepare to perform, we'll call you when it's your time
Scorpio/ZZ Skull: Thank you
We walked right in and hear a crowd of people cheering and smiling, as we waved at them while they cheered more.
Scorpio/ZZ Skull: I wonder what they'll be disguised as
Luna/Eclipsa: I'm not sure, they didn't tell me at all just said it would be a sur-
???: WOOOOOOOOOOOO~!!!!!!!! ECLIPSAAAAA~!!!!! WE LOVE YOUUUUUUU~!!!!!
Luna/Eclipsa: [blushes] Oh no~ they did not just dressed up what I think they dressed up as
We all turned to see in the crowd Aerrow and Mags wearing a cap that says "Eclipsa Fanclub" while Stork and Finn were wearing a T shirt that says "Eclipsa" with my face in a chibi form on the center while they wave their glowing sticks around. Talk about, level of embarrassment.
Aquarius/Amelia: Wow, talk about level of embarrassment
Luna/Eclipsa: Let's keep going before they embarrass me even more than-
Finn: ECLIPSA~!!! I WANNA MARRY YOU~!!!
My face was cherry red as I quickly rushed to our room, when I suddenly bumped into someone's chest. I looked up and saw that it was the Dark Ace, making my heart rate go up like crazy.
Dark Ace: Be careful who you bump into, you might end up making an enemy
Luna/Eclipsa: [gulp] I'm sorry, I-
Scorpio/ZZ Skull: You'll have to excuse her, she's new. We'll be going now
Scorpio had an arm around me as he escorted me to our room, but my eyes were glued to the Dark Ace while he watched us walk in to our room. Afterwards when we were finally in I tried to breathe while I sat down next to my vanity, Virgo rubbed my back as she held my hand so I could feel calm.
Virgo: Breathe... Breathe... It's gonna be okay, he didn't recognize you so that's good
Luna: T-That's not it, it's just [breathe] I did something that I regretted about and I can't take it back
Aquarius: Whatever it is, it can't be that bad
Luna: But it is, especially when I care about Stork and Finn... [breathe] Okay, I'm gonna tell you something, but you cannot tell the Storm Hawks or anyone
Aquarius: What makes you think we would tell anyone? We won't freak out [sips her drink]
Luna: Okay. I kissed the Dark Ace
[Record Scratch]
They all looked at me in shocked while Aquarius crushed her drink, trying not to yell or something but she was making a weird sound while smiled.
Aquarius: Ngggghhhhh... That's interesting
Luna: And what's worst is that I have a promise ring from Stork and Finn, I'm the worst
Scorpio: No you're not, it's just the effect of your curse
Luna: My curse? It can do that?
Scorpio: Libra told me that it could tap into your thoughts and the things you used to love that are now things you hate, end up switching around. So instead of hating him, you love him
Luna:... I think I'm gonna be sick
Leo: No no no no, save it after we perform on stage. We need to be ready to win this
Aquarius: Yeah, I just hope the others and Piper are doing well
Announcer: All bands meet at the backstage area to listen to Master Cyclonis speech
Aquarius: A speech? Why now?
Scorpio: Must be something important, let's go
We left the room to head to the backstage area, we noticed a couple of band members, but never expected Repton and his Raptors to join the Battle of the Bands, Ravess however I expected much.
Aquarius/Amelia: [whispers] This will be too easy~
Luna/Eclipsa: [whipser] Guess we'll win this battle after all
Scorpio/ZZ Skull: Shhh, here she comes
Cyclonis came walking in with Dark Ace and Snipe, we all stood our grounds and listen to whatever she had to say.
Cyclonis: Welcome to Cyclonia, I'm sure you're all interested in competing against each other, tearing each other apart, fighting till your last breath... But I decided to makes some changes around here. For starters, there will be no elimination, no competition, and no rivalry
B.A.D.4: 'What?!'
Cyclonis: I've already had my own battle against the Storm Hawks from the last encounter, so I expect nothing less from all of you
Aquarius/Amelia: [whispers] This is bad, if these band members aren't tearing each other or causing a fight, the talons won't be distracted and we can't get the civilians to safety. They'll get caught
Piper's P.O.V
Capricorn, Aries, Gemini Junko, and I were driving the path to where we could meet up with their contact, I was feeling a bit anxious since we were in Cyclonian territory. When we were nearing our destination Aries stopped his skimmer as he signal us to stop, we heard footsteps and got ready to attack when two Talons and a Commander that was a tall woman with green long hair that was braided, emerald eyes, however her behavior changed when she saw Capricorn and teared up.
Green Haired Talon:... Capricorn
Capricorn: Mom?
Green Haired Talon: You're okay!!
She ran up to Capricorn and hugged him while he hugged her back tightly, my heart warmed up when I realized that woman was his mother. The one that was taken away from Terra Celestial, she was beautiful and looked like she hadn't slept much but it's understandable considering her position she was in.
Capricorn: Piper, Junko. This is my mother, Saturn, she's the leader of the resistance
Junko: Hello
Piper: Hi
Saturn: [gasp] Is this the girl you and Luna were talking about? It's nice to finally meet you [shake Piper's hand]
Piper: Nice to meet you, ma'am
Saturn: Oh please, call me mom or Saturn, any is fine. I'm just glad to get to meet my son future wife
Capricorn: [blushes] Mother!!
Saturn: What? There's nothing wrong with having hopes in you finding a girl to be with. Reminds me of the time he talked so much about you and your adventures, he hopes to one day join you and when he told me about how he saved you from being taken to prison I was so proud of him defending his future wife
Capricorn: Mom!!
[Aries and Gemini snickering]
Piper: Well it was nice to finally meet you, your son truly worries about you and is taking good care of his little brother
Saturn: Is that so? I appreciate him for looking after his little brother
Aries: As much as I love to hear more of this touchy reunion but we have a mission to accomplish
Saturn: Of course, follow me
Saturn let us to a refugee where a couple of civilians are gathered, some of them have children, while others are elders, and couples hoping to get away from Cyclonia.
Saturn: As you can see so many of our resistance families need help getting out to safety, if one of our resistance members fails to accomplish a mission their a chance of their own family to be sent to the dungeon
Piper: That's horrible
Saturn: It is, which is why we need the Condor and Scorpio's airship to help us get the civilian out of here
Piper: So the route we're talking, will it be dangerous?
Saturn: If we manage to avoid the danger, then we'll be okay. However, we need to make sure the Talons don't come near this area or else we'll get caught, they need to have their focus on the concert. The Battle of the Bands has to go on
Aries: Uhmm, I think we got big problems. I just got word from Scorpio, they're not doing a battle of the bands
Saturn/Storm Hawks/Zodiac: WHAT?!
Aries: Don't worry, I'm sure Scorpio will figure out a way to make these bands riled up for the win... I hope
Junko/Piper: Uh oh
Gemini: What's with the "uh oh"?
Piper: Well~ since Luna is there, she just might umm... do something creative
Junko: Also destructive
Gemini: Oh please, what kind of damage can a girl like Luna can cause?
She had to ask.
No One's P.O.V
Luna got to work in delivering some "fan mail" to the other band groups that contain her special concoction of stink bombs, paint bombs, and glitter bombs~ after Luna completed that task she counted down until they heard a couple of explosions go off, as Luna grabbed a few paint bombs out and asked.
Luna: Pink or Lavander?
Scorpio/Leo/Virgo/Aquarius/Pisces: Lavander
Luna pulled the trigger and their bomb went off as they pretend to cough and leave their room, like the other band members. Outside at the concert hall Aerrow, Mags, Stork, And Finn waited for the concert to start when they heard a few explosions go off but only two sky knights knew who was responsible for it.
Aerrow/Mags:... Luna
Finn: Didn't you guys take away her bombs before she left?
Mags: We thought we did, seems like the little rugrat decided to smuggle a few of her own and decided to rebel
Back at the Backstage the band group gathered and argued back and forth against each other, causing a riot which lead to a fight. It wasn't long until a group of talons came to stop the riot and chaos, Luna was just about to fight a raptor when suddenly she was pinned to the ground by someone until everyone heard Cyclonis's heels click as she walked in glaring.
Cyclonis: What. Is. The meaning of this?
Repton: Your Commander started it by placing a glitter bomb in my room
Ravess: In your dreams!! You started it by putting a stink bomb in my room. The smell won't go away
Scorpio/ZZ Skull: No way, one of you started it by putting a paint bomb in our room!!
Virgo/Venom: You're just jealous cause we can surpass your snooze fest orchestra, Ravess
Ravess: Ha! You wish!!
The argument began, while Luna shifted her body so she could knock the person off, pinning them down ready to punch whoever when she realized it was the Dark Ace. She quickly got off of him, dusting herself as she walked away and stood next to Scorpio as they argue and blushed in embarrassment.
Cyclonis: ENOUGH!! You all want to tear each other apart? So be it! We are having a Battle of the Bands!!
The band members all grinned getting ready to prepare for their performance, while the B.A.D.4 walked into their room and cheered.
Scorpio: Yes!! We're right on track!!
Aquarius: I'll contact the others and let them know
Scorpio: Luna, time to fire up your voice
Luna: [grin] You got it!
Announcer: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!!! WELCOME TO THE BATTLE OF THE BANDS!!!!
[Crowd Cheering]
Announcer: OUR FIRST PERFORMANCE IS THE UPCOMING BAND KNOWN ALL OVER TERRA AND TERRA!!! GIVE IT UP FOR B! A! D! 4!!
Finn: YEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!! ECLIPSA!!!!! WE LOVE YOUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!
Mags: [whispers] Finn!! Calm down you simp!! At least Stork isn't cheering
Stork: Oh, I plan to do something else
Mags: Oh no
The music started playing as the band played their instruments, Luna stood in a cage as she dances and got ready to sing.
[Song: Backlight by Amalee]
[Luna]
My mem'ries so good and awful, it seems they gave me a grudge
But I have left bitterness and resentment behind me
And it is all thanks to him
Oh look, it's the clowns who think they know
How crushing loneliness can be
You know nothing 'til you come with me
And run wild! Release your rage
Let the winds of wrath blow them away
Not gonna live in compliance-iance-iance
I'm not playin' the victim no more
Time to go rage, let's punish them all
For their love; I'm done trying to trust
Not gonna live in compliance-iance-iance
Gonna play with fire, backlit by the flames
The crowd chanted when Luna kept saying "Na" to the music, while others waved their glow sticks around loving the girl singing.
[Luna/Eclipsa]
By the end, everything turned to red, it was brutal yet so beautiful
A kind of red, pulls you in, and won't let you look away
Make you feel a bit feverish
Scarlet crimson lit up from behind, so bright'll make you go blind
Hypnotizing every eye that sees its red aura blazing
Held captive by the allure
My heart got tangled up bad and now it's frayed
No matter how much I've learned
I understand that my anger's here to stay
The words rush out
And run wild! Release your rage
Let the winds of wrath blow them away
Not gonna live in compliance-iance-iance
I'm not playin' the victim no more
Time to go rage, let's punish them all
For their love; I'm done trying to trust
Not gonna live in compliance-iance-iance
Gonna play with fire, backlit by the flames
Cyclonis: This girls got spunk
Dark Ace: Yes, kinda like Luna
Cyclonis: She'll make a perfect Talon
[Luna/Eclipsa]
Though my anger exhausts me and I fall apart
My actions may cost me but
I can't let go of the past, I refuse to move on
I know if you would listen, you would understand
It's time you entered into this bad dreamland
You made for me and suffer like I have
So let's run wild! Release your rage
Let the winds of wrath blow them away
Not gonna live in compliance-iance-iance
I'm not playin' the victim no more
Time to go rage, let's punish them all
For their love; I'm done trying to trust
Not gonna live in compliance-iance-iance
Gonna play with fire, backlit by the flames
The crowd cheered and chanted with Eclipsa while Stork started doing a little performance to show how much he loves Eclipsa, making Luna blush and smile. After the song ended, the crowd went wild and cheered, applauding for the B.A.D.4. Meanwhile, during the performance the rescue team escorted the civilians to safety while Gemini scoped out for any Talons around.
Gemini: All clear
Aries: Let's keep going
Saturn: So, you're from the Storm Hawks
Piper: Yep, I'm the Specialist in the group, plus I'm very intrigued of crystals
Saturn: Impressive, you know you could qualify to be a crystal mage
Piper: Really?
Saturn: Yes, in order to imbue the power of a crystal within someone you can connect, you and someone else have to become "perfect attunement"
Piper: Wow~
Capricorn: Mom, the music stopped
Saturn: Everyone stay where you are, as soon as the elimination is over we'll keep moving. Be patient
Back at the stage the bands got together and stood next to their band members, feeling anxious and nervous about the elimination.
Announcer: AND IT'S TIME FOR THE ELIMINATION!!!
Luna/Eclipsa: [gulp] 'I hope we don't get eliminated so soon'
We watched as Cyclonis pulled a lever as the trap door opened one by one as a couple band groups fall, hearing them scream and cry as they fall into the dungeon until it was done. Luckily we didn't get eliminated for the first round, however Ravess survived from being eliminated along with Repton and a few other groups.
Announcer: AND NOW~ FOR YOUR NEXT PERFORMANCE YOU'LL HAVE TO PERFORM A
SONG THAT WILL SYMBOLIZE YOUR BAND, YOU'LL HAVE 20 MINUTES TO DECIDE WHICH SONG TO PERFORM!!
We were allowed to head back to our rooms as we got ready for the next performance, we were informed that the rescue group were about 25 minutes from getting to their destination, so we had to be loud so they wouldn't suspect any unusual sounds coming from outside the concert. When we were informed that it was our turn, we got on the stage and waited for the curtains to draw back while Virgo got ready to play the music.
Announcer: AND NOW FOR THE FINAL SHOW WE HAVE THE BAND PLAYING THEIR SIGNATURE SONG!!! BAD AND DARK!!! PUT YOUR HANDS TOGETHER FOR B.A.D.4~!!!!!!!!!!
[Song: Bad and Dark by B.A.D.4]
[Leo/TNT]

Meanwhile, up at the balcony, Cyclonis smiled tapping her finger on the armchair as she enjoyed the music. While the Dark Ace stood next to her watching their every move, especially the girl with black and red hair.
[B.A.D.4]
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, B-A-D four

[Leo/TNT]
We ain't never goin' back 'til we rule the world
Like and subscribe if you don't wanna end up in crumbs
Nothing can stop us 'cause we are the B-A-D four
The crowd went wild and chanted "B.A.D.4" over and over, while the band waved at the crowd followed by Finn cheering for Eclipsa, while Stork did his glow stick dance to show how much he loved her. Meanwhile at the backstage where the other band group watched, Ravess heart skipped a beat when we saw ZZ Skull perform as he looked her way making her blush uncontrollably, while she looked away thinking.
Ravess: 'Oh my god, he's super hot!! He looked my way!! And- WHAT AM I THINKING???!!!'
Meanwhile, the rescue group were approaching their destination, feeling confident that nothing would get in their way of getting the civilians to safety when Piper heard a familiar voice.
???: Hamish!! Where are you?!
Piper: [whispers] [gasp] Everyone! Duck!!
Everyone quickly hid and kept their heads low, when Piper took a peek and spotted the only person they wish they wouldn't run into.
Mr. Moss
He was out on patrol with a few of his own Talon's around, making the others anxious and worried.
Gemini: [whispers] We have to let them know!
Piper: [whispers] Right! [taps] Rescue team to Aerrow and Luna, do you copy?
Aerrow [Earpiece] We hear you loud and clear, what's up?
Piper: [whispers] We've ran into a problem
Aerrow [earpiece]: Yeah I know, the band almost got eliminated
Piper: [whispers] No! Not a problem for them, a problem for us! Mr. Moss is out on patrol!
Aerrow/Mags/Luna: 'OH NO!!!'
Luna [earpiece]: Do you think he remembers about the present I left him?
Mr. Moss: You best be finding a solution to get rid of that rainbow color and glitter out of my prison!!
Piper: [whispers] Uhm yeah, he remembers
Luna [earpiece]: Aw man
Mags [earpiece]: Aerrow, lets hope he doesn't remember us
Sagittarius [earpiece]: You both have to lay low! If he sees you it's game over, they'll suspect something and send a search team
Aries [earpiece]: And all those trust we grew with the resistance will drift away and they'll turn Saturn in, we can't fail this
Aerrow/Mags [earpiece]: Right!
Saturn: [whispers] Just two more concerts and we'll be able to move, we just need to figure out how to get Mr. Moss to leave... Unless, I can lure him away
Piper: [whispers] What?!
Capricorn: [whispers] But mom-
Saturn: [whispers] You two can handle this, you know the route to take, so take the civilians there, I'll try to meet up with you [kiss Capricorn head] Ten cuidado, hijo mío [Translate: Be careful, my son]
Capricorn: [whispers] I will
Saturn: [whispers] Protect my son, Piper
Piper: [whispers] I will
Saturn carefully drove away as she went a different direction to make it seem that she came from the Concert, while Mr. Moss looked at her direction while the others waited.
Saturn: Mr. Moss, I was looking for you. Your dear talon Hamish was just spotted by the backstage. Probably to get an autograph from the infamous Eclipsa people are fawning over
Mr. Moss: I should've known, that is boy has been completely distracted by her voice, almost like she's hypnotized him
Mr. Moss drove off and went after him, while Saturn signaled the others to go on ahead. They moved on further while Saturn looked back at Piper and Capricorn driving next to each other, she smiled and prayed that they both end up together. Back around the Backstage area, Luna aka Eclipsa was out signing autographs for her fans while getting a picture with them. After she was done, a couple of talons escorted the fans away while Luna got ready to perform when she bumped into someone and shrieked to see that it was the Dark Ace himself.
Luna/Eclipsa: Gyah!! You again! I mean... Sup
Dark Ace: Hello again, I don't believe we ever properly introduced each other. The names Dark Ace
Luna/Eclipsa: Huh! You're the infamous Dark Ace, the former member of the Original Storm Hawks before you betrayed them, then became known around Atmos and became considered the "undefeated."... I mean I'm Eclipsa, I'm sure you already know from my fan club
Dark Ace: I can see that, especially with those two in the crowd
Luna/Eclipsa: Ahahaha, yeah. Those two, they go to all of my concerts, now if you'll excuse me I have to go out and perform. Good day to you commander
Dark Ace: Wait!
The Dark Ace caught my wrist, making me flinch but bite my tongue since my stupid curse was stinging me. I looked back and saw him holding a red rose as he tucked it in my left ear, making me blush as he smiled at me.
Dark Ace: A beautiful rose for a beautiful girl
Luna/Eclipsa: T-Thank you
Dark Ace: Don't mention it... And oh, by the way... I hope you don't have any secrets to hide from [lean close to her ear] wouldn't want to keep secrets from the one who you love in your life [walk away]
This made my skin crawl when he mentioned that, I looked at the audience and spotted Stork and Finn making me clench my chest. I took a deep breath and got ready to go up on stage to sing.
Announcer: LET'S GIVE IT UP FOR RAVESS!!!! AND FOR OUT FINAL TWO PERFORMANCE WE HAVE THE LOVELY ECLIPSA
Finn: YESSSS ECLIPSAA~ WE LOVE YOU
Audience C: Shhh!!
Finn: What?! You hush!!
Mags: Sorry, he's stupid
Announcer: PERFORMING HER SOLO SONG, DANCING WITH THE DEVIL~!!!!!!
[Song: Dancing with the Devil by Demi Lovato]
[Luna/Eclipsa]
It's just a little red wine, I'll be fine
Not like I wanna do this every night
I've been good, don't I deserve it?
I think I earned it, feels like it's worth it
In my mind, mind
Twisted reality, hopeless insanity
I told you I was okay but I was lying
I was dancing with the devil, out of control
Almost made it to heaven, it was closer than you know
Playing with the enemy, gambling with my soul
It's so hard to say no, when you're dancing with the devil
It's just a little white line, I'll be fine
But soon that little white line is a little glass pipe
Tinfoil remedy, almost got the best of me
I keep praying I don't reach the end of my lifetime
Twisted reality, hopeless insanity
I told you I was okay but I was lying
I was dancing with the devil, out of control
Almost made it to heaven, it was closer than you know
Playing with the enemy, gambling with my soul
It's so hard to say no, when you're dancing with the devil
The audience waved their glow stick side to side while Stork and Finn were watching in silence, seeing how Luna facial expression showed so my guilt in her face but her eyes were focused
on them.
[Luna/Eclipsa]
Thought I knew my limit, yeah
I thought that I could quit it, yeah
I thought that I could walk away easily
But here I am falling down on my knees
Praying for better days
To come and wash this pain away
Could you please forgive me?
Lord, I'm sorry for dancing with the devil
Luna was on her knees, looking as if she were praying while Stork and Finn were standing there along with the audience as Luna slowly stands up and sing.
[Luna/Eclipsa]
Dancing with the devil, out of control
Almost made it to heaven, it was closer than you know
Playing with the enemy, gambling with my soul
It's so hard to say no, when you're dancing with the devil
The audience was silent but then one applause turn to a huge crowd of applause and cheering, making Luna look up as she the crowd was chanting for "Eclipsa" making her smile as she bowed. A few of the audience tossed a rose to the stage until Luna caught one and smelled it, as she threw it in the crowd making Finn leap forward and catching it follow by a "thud" when he landed on the ground.
Announcer: AND THERE YOU HAVE IT FOLKS, THE MYSTERIOUS ECLIPSA HAS DONE IT, WITH HER BEAUTY AND VOICE HAS MADE THE CROWD GO WILD~!!!!
[Crowd Cheering]
Announcer: Up next we have the venomous beauty, Venom performing her song, BLACK SHEEP!!!!!
The Rescue Team was on the move when they spotted the Airship, just when things were going good on their side, they run into another problem. Mr. Moss talons out patrolling the area, making things complicated for them until Aries heard the music from a distance and recognized it all too well.
[Song: Black Sheep by Brie Larson]
Aries: [whispers] Oh no!!! Not that song!!!
Piper: [whispers] What song?
Aries: [whispers] It's Virgo obnoxious, addicting, most diabolical song that ever existed
[Venom/Virgo]
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Hello again
Friend of a friend, I knew you when
Our common goal was waiting for the world to end
Now that the truth is just a rule that you can bend
You crack the whip, shape-shift and trick the past again
I'll send you my love on a wire
Lift you up every time
Everyone, ooh
Pulls away, ooh
From you
Aries: [whispers] We have two options, one wait for the final concert to start or two, Junko and I can knock them out and-
Gemini: [whispers] Or~ I can use my sleeping darts to knock them out, while you handle the rest
Aries:... [whispers] That can work too
Gemini climbed a tall pillars where she loaded her energy rifle with darts, she waited for Aries and Junko to be ready to knock out the talons. Once they were positioned in Gemini took the shot and knocked out a couple of talon unconscious, Junko and Aries knocked a few until Gemini shot the last two until it was clear.
Capricorn: We're good to go
Piper: And just in time, the final performance is about to start!
[Venom/Virgo]
Got balls of steel
Got an automobile for a minimum wage
Got real estate
I'm buying it all up in outer space
Now that the truth is just a rule that you can bend
You crack the whip, shape-shift and trick the past again
I'll send you my love on a wire
Lift you up every time
Everyone, ooh
Pulls away, ooh
It's a mechanical bull, the number one
You'll take a ride from anyone
Everyone wants a ride
Pulls away, ooh, from you
Back at the Concert, the audience cheered and the elimination was completed. Scorpio was getting ready to perform when the band noticed Luna was missing, until she showed up out of nowhere panting.
Aquarius: There you are, where have you been?

While the Concert was going on, The Rescue Team made it to the Airship, and to their Surprise Stork was there with his Condor. They all gathered the civilians in the two airships as they, hopped on while Piper and Capricorn were waiting for the others to finish the show and escape.

The crowd cheered and applauded, while Luna took a bow and waved, afterwards it was time to see which band group was going to be eliminated. Ravess's Orchestra or the B.A.D.4.
Scorpio/ZZ Skull: [whispers] You ready for the vanishing act?
Luna/Eclipsa: Born ready
Announcer: AND TO ANNOUNCE THE WINNER OF THIS YEARS BATTLE OF THE BANDS, MASTER CYCLONIS HERSELF WILL BE ANNOUNCING THE WINNER!!!

Ravess: Better luck next time, B.A.D-
[Trap Door Opens]
Ravess: FooOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!
To their surprise, Ravess and her orchestra band got eliminated, while the B.A.D.4 stood on the stage.
Cyclonis: [microphone] B.A.D.4!!!
The crowd cheered and applauded while the band stood, happily until a Talon handed them their trophy as they took it and held it up in the air.
Announcer: Anything you'd like to say to the audience?
Scorpio/ZZ Skull: [grin] Yeah... Long live the Sky Knight!!
The audience gasped as the B.A.D.4 unveiled themselves as the Zodiac and a Storm Hawk member with them, Cyclonis glared as she shouted at the top of her lungs.
Cyclonis: GET THEM!!
Before any Talon could, Luna triggered a smoke bomb that made them vanish in the smoke and disappear. Leaving the Talons confused while the group escaped through the backstage and met with Aerrow, Finn, Radarr, and Mags.
Aerrow: Time to go!!
Scorpio: Right back at you!!
Luna: And now for the big finale~ Hahahaha!!!
[Click]
Aerrow: Wait! What did you do?
Luna: Let's just say~ we aren't leaving without a huge "BANG"
Mags: [eye widen] Oh boy. GET YOUR LEGS MOVING!!! WE GOTTA GET OUTTA HERE NOW!!!!!
It wasn't long until the bombs were triggered as glitter and paint blew up everywhere, getting the Talons all covered in it. Blinding them, and making them slip and fall, struggling to get up while Cyclonis, Snipe, Dark Ace, and Mr. Moss are also covered in glitter and paint. The others escaped and quickly hopped on to the Condor when it was to their reach and escaped, back at the Concert where the Stage was a banner dropped and reveled in writing.
"LONG LIVE THE SKY KNIGHTS"
Cyclonis let out a raging scream that could be heard all over Atmos, meanwhile back at Terra Celestial Libra and Virgo were escorting the civilians to the refuge where they would be fed, given warm blankets, and food for their loved ones and elders while the children played with each other. The Storm Hawks watched from a distance and smiled seeing how much they helped out, including how many Talons are willing to sacrifice their lives in order for their family and loved ones to be safe while they continue to stay undercover until it is time to fight against Cyclonis.
Scorpio: We rescued so many civilians
Aerrow: Yeah, I just hope the resistance are doing alright
Scorpio: They are, and soon we will fight against Cyclonis with the resistance
Aerrow: Yeah
While Scorpio and Aerrow chat, Piper and Capricorn were by the field of flowers watching from a distance.
Piper: It's amazing how two Sky Knight Squadrons can work together
Capricorn: Yeah, it's a shame my mother couldn't join us, but she has her job to do
Piper: [pat his shoulders] We will save her one day, she's doing alright. She cares for the both of you
Capricorn: Thanks. I appreciate your kind words, Piper
Piper blushed when Capricorn held her hand, making her smile as they both stare into each other's eyes. For some reason Piper and Capricorn leaned close to each other, while the sun was setting as their lips grew close.
Celenia: So~ when are you two gonna kiss~?
Capricorn/Piper: GYAH!!!
They both backed away when they saw Celenia smiling all giddy, while holding a camera ready to take a picture.
Celenia: Seriously, when are you two gonna kiss?
Capricorn: Scorpio!! Your mom is coming up with another BL novel!!!
Scorpio: Mother!!!
Celenia: Eh heh heh, be right back
Celenia sped off, leaving the nerds to themselves as they sigh and look at each other and laughing it off.
Piper: I better get going to my squad
Capricorn: Me too, take care and [kiss her cheeks] [blushes] Bye!!
Capricorn sped off to a different direction, while Piper was left alone blushing by Capricorn actions. She felt her cheeks where he kissed her, as she smiled and giggled to herself. She rushed to her squad as they got on the Condor and stood out in the balcony waving goodbye to the civilians, Luna's family, and the Zodiacs until Piper spoke loud and clear.
Piper: UNTIL NEXT TIME CAPRICORN!!!! I LOVE YOU!!!!!!
Capricorn: [blushes] Ah... [smile] I LOVE YOU TOO!!!! PIPER!!!!!!! [blow a kiss]
The Zodiac boys took turns ruffling Capricorn's hair while Luna hugged Piper feeling proud of her, along with Mags. Aerrow smiled seeing how close his squad was growing with the Zodiac, that he remembered what Scorpio said to him before they left.
... Your squad isn't just a squadron, it's a family that you forge together to protect, care, support, and love...
Meanwhile, down at Terra Celestial where Celenia was seeing everything happen with her crystal ball as she smiles like a child.
Celenia: I was right!! True love prevailed. Next is a certain squad leader and a medic~
The crystal ball glowed as it unveiled Aerrow and Mags smiling at the balcony, and another scene of them hugging while Mags had tears of joy in his eyes.
~ Bonus Scene ~
Aerrow: I'm glad that's over, hey! Where did Luna go?
[Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzz]
The Storm hawks heard a razor go off, as they rushed to the bathroom to see Luna buzzing off half of her hair the way it used to be when she joined the Storm Hawks as she finished and sighed.
Luna: Ah~ it's good to have my short hair back
They all just stood there and laughed while Luna smiled, Radarr hopped on Luna's shoulder as he gathered Luna chopped off hair and put it on styling it out like Elvis making Luna laughed too.
