Aerrow: The Epic Of Mandalore

XXII

At the windmill of Terra Gale, the rest of the Storm Hawks continued to fight against Snipe and the Talons under his command. Snipe and his forces soon had the Storm Hawks pinned inside the windmill. 

Snipe: Burn them out! I want those marauders dead!

The Talons then move to try and set the windmill on fire, but the Storm Hawks kept them at bay. In the windmill, the Storm Hawks quickly found themselves trapped inside the windmill. 

Finn: Looks like these bastards won't give up! They really want us dead!

Piper: We have to hold the line, Aerrow and Corvo will make their way back to us! Stork! We need you to head back to the Condor! We'll cover you!

Stork: We're doomed....

Junko: We got you covered, Stork!

Piper along with Finn and Junko began laying suppressing fire on the Talons, giving Stork the opportunity to exit the windmill and reach the Condor. At this point, Snipe grew impatient. 

Snipe: What are you idiots waiting for?! We have these marauders outnumbered! 

As Snipe continued leading the assault, Aerrow began making his way back to the windmill with Radarr. Seeing that the Talons had his team pinned down, Aerrow prepared his Twin Energy Blades and jumped Snipe. The two then engaged in an intense fight. 

Snipe: Fucking marauder! I take it that my bitch of a sister is dead. 

Aerrow: You will join her!

Snipe: I'll admit, you did me a favor by killing her. Now I don't have any competition!

Snipe then pulls out his Crystal Powered Energy Mace and begins attacking Aerrow with it. During the ensuing fight, Snipe lands several devastating shots on Aerrow, but Aerrow's armor was able to protect him. 

Snipe: I I'm being honest with you, I don't know what's got Cyclonis or Dark Ace thinking you're so special. You're just another marauder who doesn't get the picture. The Cyclonian Empire runs the show here. Between you and the Sky Knights, I can't quite tell who's more pathetic. 

Aerrow then lunges at Snipe and attacks him once more, landing several good strikes on him in the process. 

Aerrow: Your masters made a fatal error in attacking the Mandalorians. We will see to it that your empire burns!

Snipe: Brave talk for a marauder. Your little friend talked big like you did and look where that got him. 

In that moment, anger gripped Aerrow as he attacked Snipe with his Twin Energy Blades. As the two fought, the Condor swooped in and began firing on the Talons. It was at that moment that the Storm Hawks were able gain the upper hand on the Talons. Meanwhile, Aerrow continued to battle against Snipe. 

Snipe: Is that the best you got?! I've seen slaves that can fight better than you!

Aerrow then tackles Snipe and manages to disarm him. During the fight, Snipe sucker punches Aerrow and begins to beat him down. Radarr intervenes and bites Snipe. 

Snipe: Argh! Fucking rodent!

Snipe grabs Radarr and attempts to kill him, but Aerrow stabs Snipe in the side with one of his Energy Blades. Snipe screamed in pain as he grabs his Mace and hits Aerrow in the face, knocking his helmet off. He then pulls out the Energy Blade and walks towards Aerrow. 

Snipe: You're lucky Cyclonis and Dark Ace want you alive. But unlucky for you, they didn't say anything about being delivered without a scratch.  

With that, Snipe began to attack Aerrow with the mace. As Aerrow attempts to defend himself, the remaining Talons were being wiped out. Piper glanced over to see Snipe beating Aerrow. 

Piper: Aerrow!

Meanwhile, Snipe continued to beat Aerrow with that mace. Snipe took pleasure in brutally beating Aerrow with his mace. 

Snipe: As much as I would love to beat you to death, I still have to drag your hide back to Cyclonis. Suddenly, a blaster shot rang out. Snipe looked down to see a blaster hole in his chest. In that exact moment, the pain rushed in. 

Snipe: Damn it all....

Snipe then collapsed to the floor, dead before he hit the ground. Aerrow looked to see Piper holding a smoking blaster. She then runs over to Aerrow. 

Piper: Aerrow! Are you alright?!

Aerrow: I'm...I'm fine. 

As Aerrow said that, Piper hugged him. It wasn't long before the rest of the Storm Hawks regrouped. 

Finn: Did you find Corvo?

Aerrow: He's...he's dead. He died with honor. 

Piper: I'm...I'm sorry, Aerrow. I know how much he meant to you.

Aerrow: He and I had our differences, but he was my brother and a true Mandalorian. 

Aerrow and the rest of the Storm Hawks collected Corvo's body as well as the bodies of the Commandos under his command and took them back to Terra Neverlandis where they were all given a Mandalorian funeral. As all of Clan Ordo mourned the losses of Corvo and the Commandos, a fire lit up inside Aerrow. 

Aerrow: We will not let this go unpunished....

In that moment, Aerrow walked to the tent fort where the armor of Mandalore the Preserver was being displayed. In that moment, Aerrow felt it was finally time for a new Mandalore to rise. Aerrow then puts on the armor that once belonged to Canderous Ordo. It was in that moment that a new Mandaore was born. Aerrow would now take up the mantle of Mandalore as Canderous Ordo centuries before. He would become Mandalore and he would wage war on the Cyclonian Empire as only a Mandalorian could.
