Ember is back in whole new adventure! Wahoo! Didn't think it would take this long to gather my ideas, but oh well… better late than never! (That's what I always say to my teachers about homework… hehe)

So, yeah. I'm planning on making this one a bit grittier :) Let's just say she'll be confronting her worst nightmares…

I just looked out the window and the moon looks like an old man singing. Maybe he's crying… I'm even scaring myself with this randomness… Okay... moving on…

So my dear friends please read and review… oh and thanks a lot for the ideas :) love you guys!

How does 'Iniquity, absolution and justice.' sound as a title? A bit heavy I think…Still can't think of one. (I chose them randomly out of a dictionary. The 4th word was 'cabbage' Lol.)

This continues about 2 months after where we left off :)

OWW! CRAMP IN MY TYPING FINGER! HERE'S CHAPTER 1! OOOOWWWWW!

…

The Storm Hawks were following a lead on the whereabouts of Cyclonis in a district called Sidana. Sidana wasn't a place you would want to be by choice. Its streets were littered with everything from petty thugs, to gangs of highly organised criminals, and so any innocent person who lived there lived in constant fear.

These past months, Cyclonis had been keeping a low profile, but recently, sightings had been rapidly increasing, especially in more criminal infested areas. They didn't know for certain, but the entire team had a hunch; she was recruiting.

Ember, being fairly local, lead the squadron through the dark, narrow back alleys.

"Piper, got anything yet?"

Piper looked down at her home-made detection instrument, which was mainly assembled from crystal scope components.

"No." she sighed. "She was here not too long ago, but she could be anywhere by now."

"ARGH! This is so frustrating! Why can't she just stay still for once?" Ember was on the verge of breaking into tears from the stress.

Aerrow broke into the conversation at this point and put a comforting hand on her shoulder. "Ember, calm down, it's okay… we're going to find her."

"How can you say that? We've been following leads for two months solid! And look where it's got us! Sidana of all places…"

"I promise you, we are going to find her. All these recent leads have been bringing us closer and closer to doing just that."

She tried to find a counter argument, but gave up. "Damn that optimism of yours; it's infectious. I'm sure Stork will have something for that." she said with a fatigued smirk.

Aerrow turned to the rest of the squadron "Alright guys, let's get back to the Condor. It's been a long day… Umm, how do we get back to the Condor?"

Everyone turned to Ember. "Hey, don't look at me! It's Jake's turn."

Jake reluctantly took the lead, and so the rest followed. That was all apart from Ember, however. She on the other hand, had been hit unconscious from behind, and was being dragged away into the shadows…

…..

He-he… Don't you just love short chappies and cliff-hangers? ;D

It's good to be back! Hope you enjoyed this chappie and I hope to hear (or see, even) some reviews.

ilovestormhawks: I'm sure Devi will feel very comfortable in my story :) Thanks! (Oh, and you're completely right about Snipe lol)

StarKnight: Did I get your name wrong? Aww, soz : / You'll never guess what I must've been thinking about :D And thanks for the plot idea :) I think I'll use Ember part 2 'til I think of something… You're right, it is epic :)

RedScarfLuxio: Mmm… good idea. That would make a plot :)

I'm reluctant to say what I'll be using though; got to keep you on your toes ;)

I'M ADDICTED TO SMILEYS! :D :D :D Lol

Ta-ta, Kezzy xxx
