As Skye was making her way back to the Order, she heard a very familiar sound behind her. She recalled the last time that she had heard was when she encountered an eagle, just thinking about it made her shiver. The sound of flapping got closer and it sounded like there were more than one, Skye wanted to turn around and look but also didn't want to. After a few more moments of flying, curiosity got the better of her and she turn around. Behind her flew five flying archers each one armed with a helmet and a bow, one of them was different as he had metal wings as well as a blade on his bow, she calmed down as she recognized that these were the Order's Albowtrosses but quickly realized that something was different, the archer's eyes did not symbolize the justice showed by the Order and their bows were archer bows not crossbows which the Order's Albowtrosses used. Skye, after realizing what they were, took off at top speed with her jetpacks, the noise of the pursuers following close behind. The eyes and the weapons did not represent the Order, no, this were the Chaos's eclipsors. The eclipsors after a while, caught up with Skye. One of them notched an arrow and fired, Skye heard the shot and dodged it in time. Two more tried the same thing but none of the arrows hit home. The odd one out commanded his men to move aside to give him room. After the eclipsors have moved out of the way, the leader took aim with his bow and fired not one but three arrows at once and because of this, Skye only heard the sound of one arrow, as she moved aside, one arrow zipped past her while the other two hit both her jet engines, one on each side.


Skye: Oh no.


Skye began her descend and tried her best not to crash and managed to land roughly on the grassy surface with no injuries. Just when she was about to praise herself for her expert landing, the eclipsors touched down surrounding her. Skye was trapped.

As the leader made his way to capture Skye, another arrow hit the ground in front him, forcing him to look up where five more flying archers touched the ground, these ones were from the Order. The sudden appearance made both sides notch arrows to their bows and aimed at their targets but did not fire.


Cloud: Stop this!

Eclipsor Leader: Cloud? Is that you?


Cloud looked for the individual who spoke the voice and her eyes came down upon their leader. As the leader removed his helmet, Cloud gasped in amazement.


Cloud: *to herself* Impossible. *aloud* Sky? Your... alive?

Sky: I... didn't think that I will see you here.

Cloud: Same to you.

Sky: What happened to you?

Cloud: The question should be 'what happened to you?'

Sky: Well...

Cloud: After all this time, I finally see you again.

Sky: It's not what you think...

Cloud: I didn't expect to see you like this.

Sky: Like what?

Cloud: You're a general.

Sky: So are you.

Cloud: What happened? I thought you said that you'll come back to us.

Sky: Look you don't understand...

Cloud: I do understand. You betrayed us!

Sky: I did not. You will never understand me.

Cloud: I do understand you because I am your sister!


An eerie silence filled the atmosphere as no one moved nor talked. Only the mooing of nearby cows and the bleating of sheep could be heard. After a while Sky spoke up.


Sky: I can explain.

Cloud: Then do it.

Sky: When the Chaos arrived at our doorstep and demanded that I join them...

Cloud: We both remember that night.

Sky: They also said that they would destroy my family if I didn't.

Cloud: Well...

Sky: I couldn't join them, but I also could not bear to see you and mom die. You were still young and had a future and I was not going to ruin that for you.

Cloud: I didn't know you felt that way...

Sky: I promised that I'll return after bet...


Sky took one look at his other eclipsors who were all standing nearby ready to protect their leader if needed and shook his head, not wanting to say the word. Cloud seemed to understand what her brother was trying to say.


Cloud: So why didn't you?

Sky: I didn't know how influential was the Chaos and I underestimated it. I did return, but only to find that my home was no longer there.

Cloud: I understand, but you can make a change now. Join us.


Cloud offered her hand in acceptance, Sky all the more wanted to reach out and make that change, but something inside him prevented that.


Sky: The choice for you, is not as simple as mine.


Sky then motioned his hand to ask his comrades to follow him.


Sky: Goodbye Cloud. *to his team* Let's go.

Eclipsor 2: But, sir the pup.

Sky: Leave it.

Eclipsor 3: That was our mission sir.

Sky: Our mission doesn't matter anymore.

Eclipsor 4: Medusa will not be impressed.

Sky: If any of you utter a single word to Medusa or Marrowkai about this, be prepared to taste this blade. *points to the blade on his bow*


All the other eclipsors were afraid of Sky and thus decided to value their lives and not say a word.


Sky: Now let's go.


The others took of following their leader leaving Cloud on the ground with her Albowtrosses as well as Skye.


Cloud: *sigh*

Skye: Are you okay?

Cloud: He is a good brother, better then I could have. I only wished he made wiser choices. Now come, the rest are worried about you.


Cloud picked up Skye and left for the Order's campsite.
