Incomplete Fanfiction
This fanfiction has not yet been finished. |
Angel and Maximum Ride join our favorite huntresses across Vale to battle Grimm and the mysterious Salem. A retelling of the awesome series with a touch of Max.
Prologue
♫ There's a point where it tips
There's a point where it breaks
There's a point where it bends
And a point we just can't take
Anymore
There's a line that we'll cross
And there's no return
There's a time and a place
No bridges left to burn
Anymore
We can't just wait with lives at stake
Until they think we're ready
Our enemies are gathering
The storm is growing deadly
Now it's time to say goodbye
To the things we loved
And the innocence of youth
How the time seemed to fly
From our carefree lives
And the solitude and peace we always knew ♫
Part One
A Simple Wok
Angel stood in front of the large chipped tombstone. On it read, "Benjamin Rider: Best flyer ever." That was all Angel knew how to write when her father died. She was glad she wrote something then.
"So, I've gone to Beacon," Angel began, staring at her father's name. "I know you'd want me to become something, and I'm only six, so you know. This is something." She fought back the sick urge she'd felt at the end of the semester and continued. "I survived, and I'm going to do my best to become the best huntress Remnant has ever seen." Even if I'm still a child, and a young child at best.
"Ben, wish you were here," Max said. "But your girl's great. They're teaching her all she needs to know to become a great young lady." Max rubbed Angel's shoulders reassuringly. "If you were here she could kick your butt by now." Fang snorted.
"Do you have anything to say?" Max asked Fang.
Fang faced the tombstone. "You would be proud."
"Bye Dad," Angel said.
"Bye Ben," Max added.
They walked out of the cemetery only for Angel to crash straight into the one person they thought they wouldn't see - Ruby. "What are you doing here?" Angel asked the red hooded girl.
"I'm visiting my mom," Ruby said. "What about you?"
"We just visited Angel's dad," Max said. "We're heading out for lunch. Care to join us?"
Ruby glanced at her feet abashedly, feeling the slightest hint of hesitation. Immediately, Angel noticed. "What’s the matter Ruby? If you don’t want to come with you don’t have to."
"No, I want to come!" Ruby said. "Of course I want to hang out with my friends."
Angel looked at Ruby suspiciously for a moment. Only after not finding a hint of deceit in her childishly large silver eyes did Angel finally respond. "Okay. Well we are going to eat at a Simple Wok Noodle House."
"Isn’t that just a stand on the side of the road?" Ruby asked, confused.
Max sighed. "Yes, but the food is surprisingly good from what I hear."
"We've been planning on trying it out for a while," Angel added.
"Isn’t it run by the same old man that runs Dust Till Dawn?" Ruby asked, unconvinced. "I mean, I had no problem helping him. Forgive me for being a little selfish, but I would rather not have to work on my day off."
Angel laughed. "What are the odds that the same people that robbed his dust shop would decide to rob his noodle shack? I mean, even crooks have to eat sometimes."
"But there's no honor in crooks," Ruby pointed out.
"Ruby, everyone has to eat or else they'd starve," Angel said. "Why would a crook hinder their own ability to eat?"
Ruby shrugged. She had been defeated by logic given by a six year old.
Ruby proceeded to set some flowers on her mother's grave. "Hi, mom. Things are going well at Beacon. I made some new friends." Ruby paused, and then sighed. "I haven't gotten kicked out of Beacon yet, so that is cool. I miss you." With that, Ruby wiped a single tear from her eye and walked away.
At least, she started to, until she felt an invisible pressure on her chest, making it extremely hard to breath. It made her dizzy, lightheaded, as if someone was walking through her. Just as she thought she was going to pass out, she heard her mother's voice, something she barely remembered, but when she heard it, she recognized it immediately. "Be wary of whom you trust."
As soon as that was said the pressure went away and Ruby fell to the ground gasping for air. A sheen of sweat had formed over her face, along with a look of utter terror, like she had seen a ghost. Maybe she did.
A short while later, Ruby caught back up with Max and Angel.
"Hey guys, sorry I'm late" Ruby said abashedly.
Angel regarded this as if she had simply said, the sky is blue.
After a moments hesitation, Angel seemed to notice, out of nowhere, the unnaturally pale color of Ruby's skin. It was such an oddity that it goose bumps rose on Angel's arms. "You look like you just saw a ghost."
At that notion Ruby laughed, but Angel could tell it was strained and forced. In spite of Angel's better judgment, she decided not to push the issue. The look on Ruby's face told Angel that if she didn't want to talk about it, it was probably something too serious for her to give any helpful advice.
"So, are you excited about Beacon?" Angel said, trying to distract Ruby from her strange demeanor.
After a minute or two of casual conversation, Gabi came up to the counter, dressed in an apron. "Welcome to A simple Wok Noodle Stand. Can I take your orders?"
The sight of Gabi was a complete shock to Ruby. "Gabi? what are you doing here?"
Gabi gave Ruby a look of utter contempt. "Going to the number one monster fighting academy in the world isn't cheep. Do you have any idea how much money I am on the hook for? Almost three million Lien!" Gabi spat, Ruby recoiled in shock at the sudden outburst.
After a couple of minutes of uncomfortable silence Max, Angel, and Ruby placed their orders and Gabi went in back to prepare the food.
Ruby sighed a breath of relief. Not two seconds after doing so, a suffocating weight fell over Ruby, more powerful than the last, accompanied by an explosive headache that made her want to barf her guts out. With her entire head throbbing and pounding relentlessly and mercilessly, a voice rang so loud that, in Ruby's mind, there was no way that everyone else hadn't heard it. Her eyes burned and watered as her vision teetered out, bright splotches of color dotted what little vision remained
"Ruby! You are in danger! You need to leave Beacon. If you don't, then your fate is sealed! I wish I could be there to protect you. Please, heed my warning!"
Just then everything went quiet except for a constant ringing sound, getting louder and louder in her already hurting ears and not helping her horrible headache.
It took a while for her to realize that the ringing she was hearing was actually the concerned voices of her friends. "Are you okay!?" came Angel's frantic voice.
Ruby's vision started fading back in, along with a feeling of being extremely lightheaded. Her head throbbed less now, but the back of her head still hurt and the hair around the source of her pain was soaked in something warm and sticky. It took Ruby a while to realize that she had fallen out of her seat and hit her head on the sidewalk during her fit, and now her head was bleeding.
Max reached on the counter and grabbed some napkins and a bottle of Vodka. Pouring the Vodka onto the napkins she began disinfecting the actually relatively small wound on Ruby's head, the Alcohol stung worse than a thousand Rapier Wasps. after this Ruby finally put two and two together and got fish, and spoke up "what happened?" Max tried to look calm, but her shaky voice gave away her concern "You were just sitting there when you froze up, fell out of your seat. you started convulsing and were uttering gibberish, we assume you were having a seizure of some kind."
Ruby looked at them confused. "Didn't you hear that loud thundering voice?" Max shrugged this off as some sort of hallucination caused by whatever the heck had happened to her.
"How long was I out?" Ruby asked after a few moments of silence. Angel looked at her with concern "your were out for a good thirty minutes. we called an ambulance, you'll get a CAT scan and you should be back at Beacon in a few hours. you'll be fine." that last part sounded more like she was trying to convince herself. Max finished bandaging up her head and said "don't worry."
