1. Waking Up
Falling.
That was the first thing the Meta thought as he went over the cliff. And for once in his life, he felt nothing. No fear. No anger.
Nothing.
He was finally going to die. And he was actually happy about it. He'd destroyed many lives, killed enemies and friends a like during his time at Project Freelancer, and yet it all lead to this. Being outsmarted by a couple of idiotic sim troopers from a backwashed canyon, an AI memory fragment, and Wash.
This wasn't the way he thought he'd go but he didn't care. He was finally going to die, and finally pay for his sins.
He had only gone after Epsilon because a small part of Sigma was still in him. But that voice was finally gone and he was grateful.
He watched as the orange trooper stuck his bruteshot into the cliff, stopping his fall. 'Well at least there's one less death on my list,' he thought.
He knew he was getting closer to the water, closer to his death. He thought back to his friends, and the sins he caused them.
York, losing an eye because of his grenade.
South, forcing her to betray her own brother.
North, killing him just for a single AI.
Wash, he might live but for sure any trust he had is gone.
And Carolina, the first kill, the first sin that sent him on the path to being the Meta.
It was fitting that he died the same way he killed her. He closed his eyes, hearing nothing but the wind as he rocketed down.
'Today the Meta falls, and Maine comes back, to pay for his sins.'
Darkness.
That's all Maine could see. He could see nothing, hear nothing, and fell nothing.
Nothing, but the cold.
'Odd, I shouldn't be felling anything. Yet I am. I should be able to see something too.'
He tried to open his eyes but the darkness didn't change.
'Odd. Well I guess Hell is real, and I was sent straight to it's center. I guess that's quite fitting after all I've done.'
Maine just laid there, with only the dark and nothingness around him.
After what felt like a eternity he heard something. It was faint, but it sounded like footsteps. Like the crunch when someone walks through the snow. Thinking of that made him think back to his death, and Carolina's.
'Okay Maine, you may be in Hell now to pay for your sins but you need to get over it.'
The footstep sounds then stopped, and were soon replaced with what sounded like digging. This surprised him, wondering what the hell was going on. The darkness soon got a little lighter, like when someone turned on the lights when he was still asleep. Not only that but he thought her heard, voices. Faint, muffled voices he couldn't make out.
'Oh god, these better not be the voices of everyone I killed, I don't think I could handle hearing them for the rest of my eternal punishment.'
He then felt big hands grabbing and raising him up, making the darkness more lighter.
'No! If this is god, don't raise me up to heaven, I deserve to be here.'
He was then placed down on something that crunched when he was set, again, like snow. He still couldn't tell what the voices were saying, but they were louder and he could tell it was one male and one female voice.
Click.
Maine then heard that unforgettable sound of his helmet being taken off his head. As it was slowly taken off, he could hear the wind, feel light specks of snow landing on his skin and the most surprising thing of all, feel air going down his throat.
'I'm, alive? HOW?'
He then started to open his eyes. It was hard at first but he soon started to open them, slowly as not to damage them when adjusting to the light. As he opened them, he started to take note that he was still somewhere snowy. But he soon didn't care about where he was.
Because his eyes noticed a female figure above him, and the first thing he noticed…..
…..was her brilliant brown eyes.
Okay guys, here's a new Red vs. Blue and Fairy Tail crossover story. This one is very different to Fairy Scars.
Maine has survived, but who saved him?
Just to let you all know, there's a lot of female characters in the Fairy Tail Guild alone that have brown eyes so I'll give you guys some time to guess who before the next chapter.
