The Prince of the Dark
2008-10-22 . chapter 1
Only two stories have ever, EVER caused me to shed tears. the first was the death of dumbledore in Harry Potter 6. The other was your story, Iron Madien. This is the best tragedy I have ever had the houner to read. And this is up against profesionlal authors i'll have you know. What you have written has put them to shame. If only other writers could write like this. I cannot actually read this again other wise i will cry. Even thinking about it causes me to feel like crying. This is, without a doubt, the most spectacular, heartbreaking and genraly best tragedy EVER! i cannot say how good it is. Words fail me. i ask one thing. Please, continue writing like this. Otherwise we'll have to put up with crap writing.

This was another wonderful parallel world. The descriptions are fascinating, and flowed effortlessly. It struck me as suspicious that the Dark Ace would give her away so effortlessly, regardless that he risked his own to protect it in the second half of Age of Heroes. Cyclonis' thoughts of him also fed my curiosity, and in the end, I was beginning to wonder about the complications of DA's choice. I would absolutely read a companion piece exploring DA in this story.

I can't even say anything. This touched me in an indescribable way. It was powerful...

Wow.

So I kinda wanted to cry after reading this, it was really good, and my favorite charicter (sp?) is Cyclonis and my heart was breaking along with hers...Anywho that was insanly awsome, and kind of brutal...but still awsome:)

Wow. Just wow.


This was a gruesome but amazing oneshot. You keep Cyclonis in charachter even throughout this fanfiction and it is absolutley heart wrenching when she is executed.


What a barbaric thing to do! An Iron Maiden. Wow. Those Atmosians. Cruel and unusual punishment at its finest.

All around wonderful. I applaud you.

I'm ashamed to admit you made me cry.

And very, very angry!

As if I didn't already hate the Dark Ace enough, now that I had finally started to calm down after my initial disgust at his origins, YOU MAKE HIM BETRAY CYCLONIS.

Unacceptable.

Completely, utterly, revoltingly unacceptable.

GRAAHAHHAHAAHAHH!! DX

DAMN YOU DARK ACE.

One technical point that I have to say however is that if there were any crystals active within like at least a five foot radius of Cyclonis, she could manipulate them in such a way that their own power runs out of controls and they implode. remember when Finn shot her in the first episode? boo yah, Cyclonis. I remember for you. I know you don't need weapons or anything else to be awesome. Those leechers and every other weapon they thrust at you could have been turned against the dirty Atmosians! And how did I end up talking to Cyclonis when I'm supposed to be writing a review?! I'm a Talon at heart, I swear. LONG LIVE CYCLONIA!

As for her death, I too believe that if she were ever caught the Atmosians would want her ripped to shreds but the Sky Council would probably settle for a good old fashioned hanging. I mean, if the Storm Hawks were the ones to capture her, assuming they didn't take her out once and for all, they wouldn't stand for something like an Iron Maiden. Piper, at the very least, would have whipped out some irrefutable law from her book or Stork would maybe say it was a health hazard? Nah, Stork would love every second of it. Aerrow would rip the cuffs from Cyclonis and kill her himself before letting this happen, he's just that kind of hero. Finn and Junko wouldn't do squat cause they don't think fast enough.

But what am I doing telling you how your own story should be?

I just... can't believe this could happen. You sort of stole the words out of my mouth, so to speak. I've been planning for a while to write something incredibly similar to this, though with a more hopeful ending. What can I say, I love putting my characters through torture but I make them happy in the end... or at least content, or at least have them settle for something, be it knowledge or the silence of a death to end their misery.

Gasp. I think you made me turn emo for a second there. BAD STORY! BAD! SIT! STAY! STOP CREEPING INTO MY MIND!

*bangs head against the keyboard* Gawd. The ending just made me so sad.

TTNR...

This is quite the emotional piece. I was nervous and upset for Cyclonis, even during the times when she wasn't scared for herself. It was all very tense. By the end, I was fighting back tears. And feeling all embarrassed that you nearly made me cry. I hope you're happy, now. ;P

One bit of concrit. The hearing confused me. Did she get a normal trial? Or was that it? They went from reading charges, to the verdict, to the sentencing awfully quick. It was a bit...jarring. Maybe that was intentional. If you were trying to make us mad at the council, it totally worked. But I still think it could have been a little bit clearer.

Speaking of the sentencing, wow, quite the barbaric execution. Sheesh. And the Atmosians call themselves the good guys. Stupid Atmosians. I get why you used it; that doesn't save the Sky Knight council from my scorn and derision, though. ;-)

Overall, very well done.

Wow. That was just... wow.

That was beautifully written, no grammer mistakes that popped out at me, and you kept her in character. Cyclonis is my favourite character so reading about her death was tough, thanks for not making her suffer too much. Would it be possible for you to write what happened through Dark Ace's P.O.V.? I'm really interested in just what he was thinking by just handing her over.

I'm not sure if you just made him hand her over to give her some things to think about but judging by this story you should be talented enough to think something up. I'm sure everyone else who reads this would enjoy a companion piece as well.

Wow. This was tough to read. I half-thought there'd be some sort of rescue or escape attempt but you went through with it.
