Chapter 9 by nightmaster000 nightmaster000

What do you pick?

Storm Hawks

Yet another cartoon world you remember fondly. This world is a interesting one called Atmos, a largely mountainous world consisting of scattered, towering, plateau-like land masses known as terras. Directly below the terras lie the Wastelands, the most dangerous area of Atmos, with infernal fires and wicked creatures.

Because of the geography, travel is mostly dependent on flight. The technology of Atmos is based around energy-generating crystals, used to power the various devices in the series. Patrolling the skies of Atmos are the Squadrons, groups of warriors who pilot motorcycle-like vehicles called Skimmers that can semi-transform into flying machines. Each Squadron is led by a Sky Knight and these warriors are loosely managed by the Sky Knight Council.

In the backstory of the series, an evil ruler named Master Cyclonis and her servants, the Cyclonians, threatened Atmos. The original Storm Hawks led the Squadrons in a war against them, but were betrayed and defeated by one of their own (later known as The Dark Ace). Ten years later, the main characters of the series stumble upon the wreckage of the Storm Hawks' carrier, the Condor, and unofficially take on the Storm Hawks name in the hopes of becoming Sky Knights themselves, despite not being old enough to even legally fly the vehicle. Their youth defeats their ambition, however, as neither friend nor foe take them seriously because of it.

Yes it was truly a great show the only complaint you have towards it was the ending since it left some unfinished plots left hanging.

Anyway this seems like a good place to recruit help conquering the multiverse and preparing for Fuse.

  1. Master Cyclonis - The first choice is none other than the main villain and young Empress of Cyclonia herself. She would certainly be the most easy to convince since you offer her the chance to conquer and rule worlds beyond just Atmos.

She's also the most dangerous as she's shown herself to be intelligent, cunning, sociopathic, megalomaniac. Though there were times in the show that hinted that their is more to Cyclonis than she let's on, and that she in fact does have a heart.

There is a good chance if you don't endear yourself to her, or at least make sure she knows you need her that she might betray you later on. But if you gain her true alliance and loyalty you'd have a very dangerous ally in your corner.

There are two options that occur to you for when you can recruit Cyclonis. The first is sometime during the series, and she will have all the resources and followers Cyclonia has to offer. Which would certainly help your conquest of the multiverse.

The second option is at the series final before she steps through the door to the far side. She wouldn't have as much of Cyclonia's resources to offer but you'd be in a better bargaining position.

2 Piper - The noble Sky Knight who is the the navigation and tactics specialist of the Storm Hawks. She's also a crystal specialist, capable of refining raw crystals into usable ones, an art considered difficult at best; "Crystal Mage" is the official term. Piper often devises elaborate plans for the team to follow, though more often than not they only manage to complete part of the plan before simply improvising, annoying her, but consistently puts up with it because of their friendships with her.

Despite her more intelligence-oriented station, Piper is a capable fighter. She is a master of a unique style of martial arts called "Sky Fu" (the Storm Hawks' equivalent of Kung Fu) and her knowledge of crystals make her attacks in battle unpredictable, since her crystal-powered staff could potentially have one of any number of effects. She was able to maintain a steady battle against Master Cyclonis by herself, eventually forcing Cyclonis to retreat by breaking the crystal on her staff.

She'd make a good choice for help, though she wouldn't like the thought of conquering worlds. But convincing her of the threat Fuse represents and the chance to learn about others worlds might convince her.

  1. Both Piper and Cyclonis - Why settle for one when you could recruit both of them. It's a very risky plan since their both enemies, but could be quite rewarding if you pull it off. One option is picking them up during the Best Friends Forever episode, when Cyclonis is in a persona known as Lark.

Either revealing everything including Lark's true identity, or perhaps leaving that bit out and talking to Cyclonis privately.

  1. Ravess - One of Cyclonis sub commanders she's proven a dangerous and skilled enemy for the Storm Hawks to face in the past. Plus she's got experience not only being a evil minion but leading army forces into battle, she'd be a good choice for recruitment.

If you recruit after Cyclonis banishes her it might be pretty easy to convince her to join you. Since you could promise her not only more power she ever had with Cyclonia, but also **** on her former Master Cyclonis.
