Former Villains

Ace/Dark Ace

Ace was born sometime during the first part of summer to a young maiden named Ida and her Sky Knight husband. Ace grew up with his older brothers Kai and Lightning, twin brother Jay, and sister Parotia, and younger brother Rocky, and sister Addie. They lived on Terra Atmosia and went to school with their future squadrons. Ace was also best friends with Carver. He was subjected to physical and emotional abuse from his father. When Ace was seven years old, Ida came down with a mysterious illness that doctors couldn't cure. A few months later, she died from the illness in front of her son. Ace, Lightning, Parotia, and Jay were adopted by their grown up brother Kai and his squadron The Ultra Skuas. A few years later, Kai rescues Ace from a flash flood on Terra Amazonia. He tries to save himself as well but he kept slipping from his grip. With a last sad look at his younger brother, Kai allows a wave to wash him away, leaving the traumatized Ace alone. Most speculated Kai drowned in the flood. Others say he survived but met his fate to Kain. A few say Kai is actually alive. Jay finds Ace and hugs him after seeing him crying.

Ace, Jay, Parotia, and Strike were accepted into an orphanage where the former met and fell for a young girl named Swan and the two became love interests despite Lightning Strike trying to break them up. Ace and Jay were teased and bullied by their brother and his friends. One day, Lightning Strike challenged Jay to a swordfight with their new swords which Jay accepts. During the fight, Strike accidentally shocks Jay's chest, causing him to drop. Ace comforts Jay but is forced to watch his brother die in his arms. Years after this, Ace turns evil and betrays his team and kills his brother. He later takes his code name "Dark Ace". Several years later, Ace survives being teleported to the Far Side of Atmos (some say he was destroyed). There he meets Chandra, the Exosian moon guardian, who greets him warmly.

After escaping the far side, Ace went into hiding and changed his look using a disguise crystal. He met a beautiful unnamed lady and fell for her. A year later, he had three daughters named Kaida, Jayde, and Kira and a son named Feather. Ace returns to Cyclonia with the children after their mother leaves them. He threatens Cyclonis, Ravess, Snipe, and the raptors if anything happened to them, he would not be merciful. Ace loved and praised his eldest daughter Kira, holding his physical traits, strength, and skills. He also loved his son Feather because of how much he looked like his late twin brother, Jay. He never interacted with Kaida or Jayde much or at least not positively, causing Kaida to feel emotionally distant from him. Feather, Kira, and Kieran often comforted her on this. 

In episode "Life in Cyclonia", Ace leads a squad of talons to help Terra Frost who are being attacked. He spots two young Exosians named Stormy and Tal who lose their parents in the riot. A talon raises his weapon to them but Ace saves them. After comforting the siblings, he ends up adopting them.

After having an argument about the kids with Apello, Ace is seen training with plastic dummies, unaware Kaida (who wanted to see if he was ok) was watching. After seeing him slash through a dummy out of anger, Kaida is startled. The former hears the girl and turns and glares at her. Not wanting to end up like the dummy, she runs off. A few hours later, Ace catches Kaida playing with his new medulla crystal and startles her. She accidentally drops and breaks the crystal, infuriating her father. He asks her why she did this and why she was in his room. She tells him she was exploring and becomes afraid as her father's hostility rises. After realizing Kaida was frightened of him, Ace sends her away. He later goes to his kids' room to calm down after a brief argument with Apello. After some gentle coaxing, he manages to find and comfort a terrified and heartbroken Kaida and apologizes for scaring her.

A year later, Kaida is kidnapped by Master Levia, an evil witch. Not knowing Kaida and her fellow kidnapped friends escaped and were in the safe hands of the Storm Hawks, Ace makes his son Feather and daughter Jayde promise to stay in Cyclonia while he looks for Kaida and his eldest daughter Kira.
