A Bad Guy Turned Good?
Who said bad guys cannot be heroes? Aero the Acro-Bat’s infamous enemy comes for some ninja squirrel action with an adventure of his own!
During the events of Aero the Acrobat 2, Zero receives a telegram from his girlfriend Amy notifying him that an evil lumberjack named Jacques Le Sheets is cutting down their forest homeland to make counterfeit money and has abducted her father as a way of stopping any opposition.
When Zero tells Edgar that he needs to go to protect his forest, Edgar refuses, so
Zero leaves without permission. Unfortunately for Zero, Jacques Le Sheets shoots down the squirrel’s plane on his journey home and so the aerodynamic rodent must make his way home on foot.
