Deep in the Far reaches of Atmos, near the border of the Cyclonian Empire, The Squadron Known as the Absolute Zeros was on patrol, when they came across a rather diminished looking Terra, known as Terra Swing Rock, an old gem mining town, the ruins of its old settlements dotted the landscape, the overgrowth had over taken the once neat and pristine fields, and where the Caves and mines were abundant was now nothing, but shambling rock. Suzy-Lu the Captain, and the Sky knight of the Squadron ordered her crew to take their skimmers down, she had seen a shack that got her attention, and she wanted to investigate it, it was a rather up held looking cabin she had spotted near a thicket of dead trees, the other ruins were without windows and doors, and clearly had shown they had been ransacked, whereas this cabin was still used for one reason or another. The Absolute Zeros landed, then hesitantly dismounted from their rides, Suzy-Lu looked over the cabin through the lifeless trees, she was deeply focused on it, as she put a piece of bubble gum in her mouth, she says, " Really quiet, ay? " In a joking manner, but in truth the uneasy atmosphere, and the lingering eerie air, was unnerving even for her. " Eh, can we keep flying, I don't really think we're finding anything this close to the ground " Jenna Luvly said, with noticeable fear in her voice. Suzy-Lu felt a little scared herself but urged her crew onward.
Jenna Luvly was the navigation specialist of the Squadron, she had noted that the terra had terrain, which left Swing Rock unnaturally altered, citing the mines might be the cause of it. But then catching her off guard, a creepy voice droned in behind her, " These abandoned mines are haunted with the souls of those who died in the great quake eh! , " Jenna jumped, but then saw the one talking was Billy Rex, the second in command of the crew, he laughed at her, all the while she stared daggers into him, Billy happily strolled by as she shot more daggers at him with her angry stare, even the other guys on the team, Davey Digger, and Bobby Bones shared in the laughter, Emily Vhan, The scout, had to reassure Jenna that he was just messing with her, and did it in good fun, if only to ensure Jenna would not kill him. Suzy-Lu gestured to her crew and told them to quiet down as the cabin they were approaching was beginning to hum and glow with an odd green light, and a strong wind rattled its planks from within its own walls, " Come up Here, eh? I think we may have company. " Suzy-Lu stated as she readied her staff. The others quickly fell into their battle positions beside her.
Emily and Jenna jumped to Suzy-Lu's side, as the boys hurried together, Suzy-Lu with a smile told Billy to do what he and the boys do best, to be “reckless,” excited and with a loud " Whoop!!! " Billy rallied the boys, they then ran headlong into the door braking it down, it didn't matter if the door to the cabin was locked and barred, that would not have stopped Billy and the boys from charging in, however, soon after they entered a scuffle broke out and could be heard from outside, Suzy-Lu, then took her girls in, and up to the door way, she peered inside to see how the boys were doing, but to her shock, within the scuffle, Suzy-Lu saw what was a familiar and ominous figure making short work of the boys. It was Master Cyclonis, The Empress of Cyclonia, the dark master herself, she effortlessly dodged and reflected anything the boys threw at her, using her own staff, she parried and tripped them, whacking and bashing them to the floor, she would jump from place to place like a phantom, making herself untouchable, she was striking the boys every time she landed, and then she would jump again. Cyclonis ended her fight with the boys, when she spun her staff around her body, protecting herself from the things that Billy was throwing at her, then she jabbed her staff into Billy’s foot, and as he shouted out in pain, Cyclonis delivered a hard palm strike to his chin knocking him out cold, Bobby, now scared and desperate then tried to rush her, but She jumped and rolled over his back, which transitioned to a kick to Davey's face knocking him out too, Cyclonis brought her staff up and started spinning it around herself, as she spun herself around as well, with the momentum of her body and her staff now spinning she leaned in to a strike against Bobby, which struck him in the head bringing him down, and almost like a hawk sighting its prey she then noticed the girls.
Master Cyclonis was beyond furious, Her experiment was ruined and these pesky furballs were daring to challenge her, Cyclonis whipped her staff around and she leaped towards them, landing swiftly, and then effortlessly she used her staff to vault Over Jenna, landing near Emily, Cyclonis then twisted herself up and into a jump that ended with a kick that hit Emily and sent her flying out of the doorway, Cyclonis using her momentum, spun her staff at Jenna, distracting her from a punch that knocked her into an old book shelf, and Following that up with aiming the crystal that is in the head of her staff at Suzy-Lu. A red bolt of energy quickly formed and shot out of it like a bullet, but Suzy-Lu quickly swung her staff down not only to deflect the bolt, which she cut in half, but to also hit the floor, sending a surge of ice towards Master Cyclonis, who dodged the surge, by flipping herself over it. " So, you’re not just some Transient fleabags, are you? you're the Absolute Zeros, well that is a fitting name for trash. " Cyclonis said as she lined herself up with Suzy-Lu, she continued speaking, " Maybe I'll have to put a little more effort in. " Cyclonis created a ball of energy at the end of her staff and threw it, Suzy-Lu Ducked under the ball of energy, and retaliated with a swipe of the staff at Cyclonis' feet, Cyclonis simply stepped back to avoid the attack and readied herself again. Suzy-Lu stood up in her fighting stance, smiling with confidence.
Suzy-Lu readied her staff, with the Blizzard crystal humming, and Cyclonis did the same, the two then lunged at each other, and clashed midair for a moment, then suddenly in an awesome display the two traded blows, spinning their staffs and bodies around, blocking and parrying each other’s attacks, swinging and by hairs missing, as they continued the air crackled with each impact of the staffs, and the energy of the crystals began to manifest, leaving streaks of red and blue in the air, followed by snowflakes and red lightening that formed soon after, and it seemed the two elements began to dance around the girls. The two eventually came to a deadlock, then Master Cyclonis snarky quipped, " You've gotten better, little miss sky Knight, maybe if your Kind fought like this before, you'd still have a home. " Master Cyclonis said it with an evil tint in her voice, Suzy-Lu replied in a quiet anger " ferme ta gueule," Suzy-Lu then pushed Cyclonis away while forming an ice spike at the end of her staff and stabbed it rapidly at Cyclonis, but Master Cyclonis focused energy into the Crystal of her staff making it buzz loudly, with it Master Cyclonis easily broke the spike with a burst of energy, however, Suzy-Lu did not stop, so Cyclonis arrogantly slipped between the pokes, she even showed off a bit by letting one jab narrowly miss her neck, but that is what Suzy-Lu wanted her to do, using her blizzard crystal Suzy-Lu formed a hook in place of the spike and caught Cyclonis behind the neck with it, she pulled Cyclonis in and delivered a powerful kick to the Tyrants stomach, which had enough force to break the ice hook and send Cyclonis across the room, " Boudin " Suzy-Lu exclaimed proudly to her downed opponent.
Cyclonis slowly picked herself up, and now angrier than before, she shouted "you insipid furball, I'll skin you for that." Cyclonis charged her crystal for another shot, she focused the energy into the shape of a trident, she then suddenly launched it, and quickly dispersed it making a blinding flash of light to hinder Suzy-Lu, Suzy-Lu had covered her eyes for a brief moment, but that was the moment Cyclonis needed to get the upper hand, she charged in to Suzy-Lu and struck her hand holding the staff, Cyclonis then proceeded with a vicious combo of blows that caused Suzy-Lu to curl up in to a defensive position, “you Fatuous fur bag, you've over stayed your welcome, now die! “Cyclonis shouted in furious anger, she then charged her crystal with enough energy to kill Suzy-Lu and threw it with a perfect spear stab at Suzy-Lu's throat but using some foot work Suzy-Lu managed to dodge just in time. The crystal hit the edge of the open door, making it explode violently, sending shards and smoke everywhere. Suzy-Lu rolled away from Cyclonis to regain her composer and her staff, "Beau Cave, you're acting like real hoser right now, eh?" Suzy-Lu said with more confidence than before.
Cyclonis readied her weapon, again, " You obstreperous shrew, I'll end this right now. " Cyclonis said with hatred, her crystal began to charge again, But Suzy-Lu was ready, " N'importe quoi " Suzy-Lu said just before blowing a bubble from her gum. Cyclonis drove her staff into the ground, and Suzy-Lu did the same, Cyclonis' staff released A red shock wave of energy, while Suzy-Lu's summoned pillars of ice that rushed forward. When the two attacks met, they exploded out with a great force that shattered every ice pillar and window in the cabin. It threw the two back and filled the room with dust and mist. Cyclonis regained herself and looked around, the room was devastated, almost everything was broken, but then she noticed there were no Blizzarians around, then she heard a pop of a bubble, she looked behind herself and saw for a faint second Suzy-Lu swinging her staff at her, Cyclonis stepped back, but once she did another one came, Bobby Bones jump down to his hands and knees behind her making her trip over him, as she fell backwards she landed in a blanket being held up by Billy and Davey, the guys let the blanket slack for a moment before pulling it tightly, which launched Cyclonis forward, Suzy-Lu jumped back to Emily and Jenna who helped throw her over to Cyclonis, and in mid stride Suzy-Lu stabbed her staff into the ground to vault up and land on Cyclonis sending her to the ground, Suzy-Lu then struck Cyclonis in the abdomen, this sent Master Cyclonis a crashing pain, then with her staff jabbed in into the floor, Suzy-Lu released a wave of ice from her staff and in a spiral it danced until it reached Cyclonis and froze her to the ground.
The Absolute Zeros gathered and cheered for their Victory, Cyclonis however, lamented her loss, she didn't take them seriously and got caught off guard. Suzy-Lu, after the cheer grabbed and used the blanket to tie Cyclonis' hands and feet together, before breaking her free from the Ice. Later Using a rope Emily grabbed from one of the skimmers, they Tied Master Cyclonis to a support beam in the main room. they kept Cyclonis suspended up, her hands tied together over her head, with her feet nearly touching the ground, meanwhile Jenna for a while was looking around the cabin trying to piece what the Empress of Cyclonia was doing out here by herself, Jenna then flipped a table back up right and saw it was a refining table, Cyclonis apparently was trying to forge a wind Crystal from the remnants of crystals in the mines. Suzy-Lu wanted to hear more, but advocated that they Should get some help, and a transport to get Cyclonis off the terra as it was too dangerous to take her on a skimmer even if she is tied up. Suzy-Lu decided to Leave the boys behind to watch over Cyclonis while she and the Girls went to get some assistance.
Cyclonis took a minute to think, she knew she underestimated Suzy-Lu, which allowed her crew to recover, and take her by surprise, but she could also tell just by how the guys fought her before, they were not too smart, or too involved with their training. Outside of Suzy-Lu there was no real threat, and thankfully as soon as Suzy-Lu was heard Taking off with Jenna and Emily, the boys began to talk, their method of expression and simple vernacular exposed their intelligence, or lack thereof, and vary soon Cyclonis knew who exactly she was dealing with. She knew she couldn't talk or bargain her way out, but she knew exactly how to manipulate them to let her out. Cyclonis was confident that Suzy-Lu was going to be gone for a while, the only Terra that has what she needs is hours away and currently under attack by Cyclonian Forces, so Suzy-Lu and any other reinforcements will be occupied, with the cyclonians for quite some time. Thus, Cyclonis had ample time to plan everything out, so she decided to start with Billy Rex.
A couple of hours had pass, and the Boys began to get bored, their conversations became uncomfortable and short, this was the perfect time for Cyclonis to act. With a Thespian frown she began " I wish I could ride my skimmer one last time, you see as Empress I am always too busy to enjoy a good Joy ride. " Cyclonis said in a depressed manner, the only one who replied was Bobby with " Hey shut up ya hoser. " He said as he looked about the cabin for something to entertain himself with. Cyclonis smirked as they weren't looking at her, she started acting again " All the well, My skimmer used to give me such a rush, the way it handled turns, and how it felt to go, up and, down, it was almost like..." Cyclonis then stopped herself, she saw Billy's ear lift slightly, then she continued, " I fine-tuned the shocks on it perfectly, I would Bounce so nicely when I would land, and the Rough stuff I Rode over, felt good too. " Billy's face began to express a light intrigue, Cyclonis knew her words planted the seeds she wanted, " I'd really like to ride my skimmer in Drop kick pass again, the hard Drops hurt a bit, but felt so nice to take. And the Bumpy roads, again my shocks really made it a joy to be Rocked so wildly. " Bobby interjected again. " Hey, we'll gag you, eh? so shut it, Gorby ".
It didn't take long for Master Cyclonis' words to take hold; she could see on Billy's face that the little hamster running his brain was sprinting at full speed. The word Bounce it bound itself into Billy's head, it made him imagine Cyclonis riding her Skimmer, and seeing her bouncing around on the rocks and bumps, Billy then thought of her body more thoroughly, with her perfectly settled on the seat, watching her butt jump beautifully up and down with each bump. Her breasts swing and swaying in each turn, granted his mind added a little more to her there, but the view in his head still became more perverse, as he imagined a different angle that made him her ride. It was hard not to see her naked that way, not to see her riding him. Before long it was a full fantasy of them having sex, her riding him Reverse cowgirl style, raving and shouting, bouncing on him like she did on the bike, enjoying everything about it.
Of course, that was all in Billy's mind he crossed his legs, hoping the other guys didn't notice the tent he was pitching in his pants. Billy really didn't want these thoughts running through his head, especially since it had been weeks since he had some alone time or was with Suzy-Lu. Billy tried to wait outside, to him the fresh air would help. Master Cyclonis smiled now " Now two more then " she thought, she looked over to Bobby Bones, she saw him as the Faux laid back one, and judging from his earlier out blurts, he was rather frustrated, and his body told her it was anxiety, possibly from the fight, or maybe from the invasion? Whichever it was she needed to find out which one and plant her seeds of action.
Bobby was still looking for something entertaining, something that would let his mind wonder. In all honesty, Bobby was upset, because he knows what he is capable of, and he knows that capability isn't much. Like the other guys, he just wants to have fun and race his skimmer, and do stunts with Billy and Davey, but he also wants to be a great warrior, a hero as famous as a sky knight, but, he finds the training boring, he isn't as skilled as Billy, and he isn't as Strong as Davey, and Suzy-Lu can beat all three of them vary easily, so he knows if the Cyclonians come looking for their Empress, he wouldn't be much help. Cyclonis eventually got a good look at his face, she recognized that look very well in fact, as it is the look which makes many of her minions feel worthless.
Master Cyclonis considered two ways to play with Bobby, play to his Ego, or play to his resentment. As she thought it through, she couldn't help but grin her sinister grin, that is until she decided, as to when bobby would notice her. When he did, he lashed out at her again, " Eh! What do we haff to do, to have to get you to not bother us Eh! " At that Moment Master Cyclonis knew how she wanted to prod his resentment. She replied in a somewhat of an arrogant tone " are You afraid of me? because of what I did? or because what might happen? " Bobby reeled back for a moment. Bobby did Have a lot of Resentment because they took his home away from him. And for that he hates the Cyclonians, but he also had a lot of fear of them, he could not comprehend their way of thinking, and they always seemed two steps ahead, even the most basic grunt.
Bobby did not want to look afraid, so he acted hostile toward her, unintentionally, appearing more scared than Brave. Master Cyclonis finally caught on to him, so she started, " You can't win, no matter what, My Empire will Conquer. " Bobby reeled back, out of fear, but rebuilt himself quickly, and turned away without a word. Cyclonis continued, " You haven't done anything to stop the Cyclonians, " she tried not to smile, and kept talking " you couldn't even ...Humiliate me, I may have lost, but I did not receive any shame from my bout with your sky knight. "
Bobby with a grunt stormed off to the kitchen, and just like with Billy Before, Cyclonis' words left Their seeds in his mind. " Humiliate, and Shame, " Bobby thought for a few moments, what can he do, she lost to them, but she doesn't consider that humiliating, or Shameful, so what is there to do to a woman to humiliate and shame her. Then suddenly he realized it, to conquer his fear of her and what she stands for, he must Conquer her. A devious little smile crawled across his muzzle, as pictured himself, holding her down, stripping her down and conquering her, claiming her body like she claimed his home, he was going to humiliate her like she did to his people. He will make her feel a grater shame than he did. Master Cyclonis all the while, watched, she knew for certain now, he was possessed by her word, and there was only one left.
Davey Digger, he was a bit Different than the other two, he seemed to have at least a brain cell and a half to rub together, he was also bigger than the other two, and by the looks of it, it was due to genetics, he was milder than the other two, he was the type to be happy to be involved, even if it is just standing around. and to add to the complexity he was carefully watching Master Cyclonis the whole time, so to her, he may know she is up to something, but not to what degree. Cyclonis couldn't say, so she tried. " Do you have something to say? Something about me? " Davey struggled her off and then went to collect the other two.
Dave Grabbed Both Billy and Bobby and told them straight up, he believed Master Cyclonis was trying to manipulate them. Billy spoke up first, " I don't know Eh? I mean I got really horny when she was talking about her Skimmer, but I haven't nutted in weeks bros, so." Then Bobby started " I’ve… bro, I started thinking about her in a bad way, eh? A way that, got me really started to pitch a camping tent. " Davey rubbed his eyes in confusion and stress, then gave his take on the situation. He told the other two, to pull themselves together, before she gets free.
Bobby then mentioned something, he stated that " she is trying to get up hot and bothered; to detract us, why don't we use that to our advantage eh? " Billy chimes as well, " Yeah bro, she'd think we're going off to wait it down, or Jack it or something eh, but she won’t expect use us to free ball around her ya ‘know, let the little guy’s breath?" Davey announced that they were stupid, and it was a terrible idea.
Meanwhile, far away, Suzy-Lu and the girls, Jenna, and Emily, were Neering Terra Cavass. The three were in a bad mood, the hours of flying with no rest had made them sore, but they had to keep going, regardless of what they went through, they needed to make sure that Master Cyclonis was brought to justice.
Suzy-Lu was deeply concerned with them being so close to the Cyclonian boarder, she was worried that they might run into an imperial patrol, or worse a patrol was looking for Master Cyclonis, and had found and attacked the boys, She knew Billy Bobby and Davey, were all well trained by her, however though, she was not completely confident that Billy and the Boys were able to stop Cyclonis if she had escaped, and if Cyclonis escaped what would she do to the boys if they can’t beat her, but Suzy-Lu shook it off, she had to focus on her mission, to reach Terra Cavass and get transport back to take Cyclonis to the Royals united capital.
Suddenly the girls were Ambushed, a rain of red energy bolts dropped down onto them narrowly missing their bodies, and skimmers. They were attacked by nine Cyclonian fighters. The fighters launched a second barrage of bolts, again their shots just missed the girls’ bodies, but the sound of the bolts plinking and plunking as they hit the Skimmers that Jenna and Emily where on, was terrifying. Suzy-Lu gave an order to her girls to split up and divide the enemy.
The Cyclonian fighters broke off into three teams of three, each team followed one of the Girls. The squad that followed Suzy-Lu were the most experienced, they kept Suzy-Lu moving, she knew, if for any reason they got a good advantage on her, it was over. The second squad that was after Jenna was not as skilled, but just as relentless, they kept on her tail, and continued to fire at her, each time getting closer to their mark. The final team was after Emily, these guys were slow, like they were rookies, Emily felt like she could take them, if she turned the tables on them, so she tests fired her guns, they worked perfectly, but then her left gun was hit by a stray shot, and that disabled it, making it smoke a lot. Suzy-Lu saw her friends skimmer smoking, and knew she needed to end this fast, before she lost someone.
Suzy-Lu tilted her skimmer flying it like it was sideways, like she was going to make a hard turn left, and her pursuers started to lead their guns on her, when suddenly Suzy-Lu shot right, her turn was putting her body on the outside of the curve, the G-forces were hard on her, rushing the blood to her head and pulling her away from her ride, she could feel her grip slipping as her vision began to tunnel, But once she reached the end of her turn she quickly regained her composure, her attackers, however, preformed a counter roll to try to get a shot off on her, but they canted either too far or too short, making their shots miss, again Suzy-Lu quickly did more evasive maneuvers and even more quickly, found the squad that was after Emily.
With the Cyclonians hot on her tail, Suzy-Lu had to be careful about her approach, unlike the rest of her squadron, Suzy-Lu’s skimmer did not have guns on it, as it was the way of the Sky-Knight, to only use their weapon of knight hood to battle, even in the air, and thus Suzy-Lu had to use her Blizzard staff to take out the Cyclonian force. Emily saw Suzy-Lu coming for her and changed her direction to head towards her leader, elsewhere in the battle Jenna saw her team and headed to them as well, Jenna was in an unintendedly perfect spot, her guns still worked and she had the right angle to fire on the squad that was after,
Jenna was still dodging the shots fired at her, but she managed to do a tight corkscrew turn that ended with her right behind Suzy-Lu’s pursuers, she only had a second to aim up her guns, but once the cyclonian was in her sights and still, she fired, her shots of blue energy bolts pelted the cyclonian leaders left wing, tearing it up and forcing the pilot to bail. The other two in that squad broke away, quickly doing wide turns away from each other. Jenna had to quickly turn again to avoid her own pursuers, but she didn’t need to worry as much now. This allowed Emily to turn up and follow one of the Cyclonians, and with one good gun, she fired at them destroying their tail and engines, and throwing the pilot off. Suzy-Lu was now able to attack freely, she flew directly between two of Emily’s pursuers, and with a single swipe of her staff, she cut into the two Skimmers, the pilots quickly bailed as their rides began to freeze solid.
The battle continued, but the cyclonians lost their advantage, with four of their own down, they started to do more drastic maneuvers, as they tried to focus on Suzy-Lu, as they believed taking out the sky knight would make the others easier to defeat. The remaining five chased Suzy-Lu. Their fire was all around her as she bobbed and weaved the shots. All the while Jenna and Emily where working out a plan around this situation. Jenna then flew up to the rear if the cyclonians, but she didn’t fire on them, she waited as Emily flew off into the distance. Suzy-Lu then saw in the corner of her eye Emily waving her arms, she seemed frantic at first, but Suzy-Lu quickly realized Emily was telling her something, Suzy-Lu then raised her staff over her head letting a cold mist emanate from it, and soon behind her the icy cloud made impossible to see, Emily then flew by, dropping bright flairs, this illuminated the cyclonians, for Jenna and she stated to fire on them. She shot down two and the other three scattered.
Now it was three versus three, and the each of the girls picked a target. Jenna found hers, she quickly closed the distance and got right on their tail, and a few quick bursts of guns, she shot the cyclonian. Then Suzy-Lu got to hers, this Cyclonian was heading straight for her, head, they fired their guns and tried to ram Suzy-Lu, bit Suzy-Lu easily weaved between the shots, and with a well-timed barrel roll she cut the Cyclonian skimmer in half. And finally Emily with her left gun still smoking, she lined up on her target, but as soon as fired her other jammed, with that the cyclonian thought he was safe and turned back around to face her, he fired his guns riddling Emily’s skimmer with energy bolts, only for him to notice that there was no one on it, he looked around for a parachute but only say the other cyclonians chutes, when suddenly he was kicked off his ride, “ Thanks, bud,” Emily said as she took over his ride, Emily smiled and gave a thumbs up, to someone above her, it was Jenna.
With the Cyclonians defeated, the girls got back into formation, and continued on, to Terra Cavass, and as the girls, headed over the horizon, they started to see a sickening sight, at first they thought, it was is dark clouds, but as they neared the terra, the dark clouds turned into plumes of smoke, the terra under attack by a Cyclonian fleet, the girls knew they had to fight again, Suzy-Lu with a weak smile rallied her girls to fight. Suzy-Lu hopes, that the boys can wait just a little while longer. With three dreadnoughts hovering over yonder, this battle was going to take a while.
Chapter one End
