Aerrow: The Epic Of Mandalore

V

After being inducted into the Mandalorians of Clan Ordo, Piper as well as Finn, Junko and Stork are put through a harsh training regimen that sought to mold them into warriors worthy of the Mandalorians. They soon learned all aspects of Mandalorian culture. Aerrow watched as they were trained in the ways of the Mandalorians. One day, after years of training, Piper along with Finn, Junko and Stork were gathered at the center of the Enclave. Standing before them was Elsera, Aerrow and Corvo.

Elsera: Foundlings. When you came to us, you were outsiders with no path set before you. But now you have found your place among the Mandalorians. From this point on, you are all Mandalorians of Clan Ordo.

Corvo: The armor that we wear is the foundation of the Mandalorian Way. By wearing this armor, you show all of Atmos of your Mandalorian lineage.

Corvo then hands them their own unique sets of Mandalorian armor. Piper's armor was fashioned after the Mandalorian Nite Owl armor. Finn's armor was fashioned after the Power Tech armor used by skilled Mandalorians during the age of the Old Republic. Junko's armor was fashioned after the classic Neo Crusader armor. Junko's helmet was altered so that it may accommodate for his horn. Stork's armor was fashioned after a famed Mandalorian Pilot. As they all got dressed in their armor, a sense of pride surrounded the Enclave.

Elsera: From this day on, you are all Mandalorians of Clan Ordo. Let your armor know the glory of battle. We are one indomitable heart. We are the wrath of Atmos. We shall bear its weight together. Forged like the saber in the fires of death, we are Mandalorians. Stand.

The newly inducted Mandalorians stood and saluted Elsera. Aerrow soon approached them with Radarr on his shoulders.

Aerrow: I see promise in all of you. I believe you all have potential to become great Mandalorians worthy of even Madalore the Preserver himself. That is why I will be forming a squad. A squad that shall become the pride of Clan Ordo. I am calling this squadron....the Storm Hawks.

In that moment, Aerrow's mind went back to the day the Guardians told him of his destiny. His mind then fell on the day he lost his family and was taken in by the Mandalorians. Since that day, Aerrow wondered about his destiny. Now he knew what it was. He would form the Storm Hawks on behalf of Clan Ordo and use them to destroy the Cyclonian Empire.

Aerrow: I would be most honored to have you all by my side. Will you join me in this squad?

Upon hearing Aerrow's request, the newly recruited Mandalorians were caught off guard. Due to their relatively low ranks within the Mandalorians, they didn't expect to be elevated to being part of an elite fighting force. Despite this, Piper approached Aerrow.

Piper: We would be honored to fight by your side.

Finn: Any chance to take down those Cyclonian bastards is fine by me!

Junko: We'll stand by you, no matter what Aerrow!

Stork: Guess I don't have much of a choice, do I? I'll join you only because there isn't anyone better to pilot the Condor.

Aerrow: Nothing would give me a greater pleasure.

In that moment, the Storm Hawks were born. After that, Elsera led the newly formed Storm Hawks into her tent. What they saw was a set of Mandalorian Battle Armor set up on a display.

Elsera: This set of armor belonged to my ancestor Canderous Ordo. This was the armor of Mandalore the Preserver. Under his leadership, the Mandalorians united from their loss at the hands of the Republic and the Jedi Revan during the Mandalorian Wars. This armor has seen more battle than every Mandalorian in this camp.

Piper: Why show us this?

Elsera: Every Mandalorian here strives to be like Canderous Ordo. He symbolized everything a Mandalorian should be. Very few Mandalorians since then have been ever to live up to his legacy.

The Storm Hawks had heard stories of Canderous Ordo and his conquests. Aerrow himself was raised on how Canderous Ordo united the scattered Mandalorian Clans. Despite not sharing his blood, Aerrow connected with the Mandalorian.

Aerrow: We will honor his glory and legacy. The Storm Hawks will fight for the glory of Clan Ordo and the Mandalorians.

Elsera smiled at Aerrow's dedication to the Mandalorians. In her mind, Aerrow was more than worthy of wearing Canderous Ordo's armor. Though Aerrow was not yet ready to bear that legacy.

Elsera: Aerrow. Take your Storm Hawks to the Raptor home Terra of Bogaton. We believe they would make worthy allies.

Finn: Raptors?! Those guys work with the Cyclonians!

Elsera: The Raptors are warriors coerced into working with them. They hold no love for the Cyclonians.

Aerrow: We will do what we can to recruit the Raptors.

Elsera: Be careful, Aerrow. Repton has garnered a well deserved reputation as a warrior. Many Mandalorians have fallen beneath his blade.

Aerrow: We will not fail you. Glory to Mandalore. Glory to our people. Glory to the Mandalorians.

Elsera smiled as the Storm Hawks saluted Elsera. The Storm Hawks gathered their weapons and boarded the Condor. As the Condor departed from the Mandalorian Enclave, the Mandalorian squadron known as the Storm Hawks would embark on their first mission in the name of Clan Ordo as well as the destiny foretold by the Guardians.
