Chapter Thirty Three

"You still don't want to come back do you bro?" The American asked disappointed.

"Not really to be honest." Canada said with a sigh. "I know that I should, I have obligations to fulfill. I don't have much of a choice right now though, even if I did want to go back."

"Right." Alfred grumbled. "Sorry for not calling in so long! I forgot about the time change."

"It's fine Alfie." Matthew said with a small laugh. "Don't worry about it. You were busy."

"Still though. I shouldn't leave you in the dark for so long." Alfred said. "I'll call more often to update you, or you call me if you guys find anything, okay?"

"Of course." The Canadian said quickly agreeing. "I'll talk you later Al."

"See you in a bit, hopefully." America said. "Bye."

Canada hung up and checked the texts. All of them were from Prussia except for one from his phone carrier.

'Hey.' Gilbert had texted. 'Matthew?' A few hours later. 'You okay?'

'Hey Gil, sorry for not replying, left my phone charging and forgot about it.' Matthew texted back.

'Oh, okay! The awesome me was a bit worried.' Prussia responded right away. 'What's up?'

'Not much.' Canada replied. 'Just got heartburn from the forest fires.'

'I heard about those. In British Columbia right? U okay?' The albino asked.

'Yeah, BC. I'm fine, nothing I can't handle.' Matthew replied. 'They don't have tums here. It kinda sucks.'

'They don't have anything like that there?' Gilbert responded quickly.

'They might. I haven't asked and I doubt they would have any on board.' Canada typed. 'It's not bad anyways.'

'So, how are the kids? )' Prussia asked. Matthew rolled his eyes at the text. Prussia always referred to the Storm Hawks as his kids.

'Sleeping.' The blond replied.

'And your not? -_-' Gilbert asked.

'I'm a night owl, not an early bird.' Canada responded. 'And also *you're.'

'Wut evea.' Prussia replied quickly. 'Good to know. I won't bug u in the mornings then.'

'Coffee and pancakes are almost the only things that will get me out of bed before I'm ready.' The blond texted.

'Noted.' Gilbert responded.

'I should go to sleep if I want to get up at a decent time.' Matthew typed. He was feeling a bit sleepy more than before.

'Ok. Ttyl, sleep well :)' Prussia replied as the blond slipped the phone back into his pocket.

AN: Ahhhh, it is currently 1 in the morning, I've been binge watching all four seasons of Starsky and Hutch and I work tomorrow.

"Everyone, to the bridge now!" Stork called over the PA system. Canada looked up from his book. He quickly set it down and started to run for the bridge. It wasn't Stork's normal 'we've got a distress call' tone, it was more frantic than usual. He spotted Junko not too far ahead of him also running. Matthew was able to catch up to him before they got to the bridge.

"Do you know what's going on?" The wallop asked as they entered the bridge. Aerrow and Piper were standing next to Stork at the wheel using the radio. Radarr was sitting on top of the Sky Knight's shoulder. Finn burst into the room out of breath.

"Don't know fully yet, just small details." Piper said. Aerrow was still listening to the radio. "There's an attack on Terra Atmosia. They're calling all squadrons into help."

"Why?" Finn asked finally catching his breath and straightening up.

"Cyclonia is attacking." Stork said. "All of them."

"All of them? You mean the whole army?" Junko clarified. The merk nodded with a concerned face.

"Yes, the whole armada." Aerrow said. "We're setting a course and should be there within the hour."

"Who else has accepted?" Junko asked.

"Rex Guardians, Absolute Zeros, Neck Deeps and quite a few others." Piper said writing something down. "We'll be the third squad there if everyone's time lines are right."

"We'll start preparing now. The skimmers are good, but Junko, move some spare parts there just in case and take some to the engine room as well." Aerrow directed and Junko ran off. Raddar chirped. "True buddy, we might have to take on some people if things get real bad. We'll need to have a supply route ready for the basics. Piper, you can do that?"

"Of course." The amber eyed woman said turning to her maps. "But hopefully it doesn't come to that."

"We should also get rooms ready for them as well." Matthew suggested and the sky knight nodded. "I can do that."

"I'll help you." Finn offered and Raddar chirped as well.

"Okay, we'll alert everyone to meet in the hanger when we're ten minutes out." Piper said as Canada, Finn and Raddar started to leave. The trio managed to set up almost a couple dozen rooms before Piper called out the time warning. Everyone hurried to the hanger and Piper started to brief them. "The Rex Guardian's and Neck Deeps are already here. Absolute Zeros are about five minutes behind us."

"We'll have a bit of help out there, but it's crazy." Aerrow said. "Try to keep the Cyclonians away from the terra and the ships, but most importantly, watch each other's backs. When this is over, I don't want to be missing anyone."

"This is the biggest battle anyone's seen since, well..." Piper trailed off eyes downcast. Canada bit his lip knowing what she was talking about. "It won't happen to us. Just be careful out there."

"Let's get out there." Aerrow said climbing onto his skimmer, Radarr already on his co-pilot seat. The other storm Hawks followed suit before heading down the run way into the busy sky.
