Okay, so this idea has been nagging me forever, so I finally decided to type it up.
This is my first Fusion Fall fanfic.
Disclaimer: I don't own Fusion Fall or any CN characters. I do, however, own Ashley, Violet, and Brooklyn.
Ashley tapped her fingernails against the wooden surface of her desk, her electric-green eyes on the clock that hung above the whiteboard.
Tick-tick-tick
She groaned silently and resisted the urge to beat her head against the desk. While Ms. Avery droned on in monotone, she slipped her hand inside her bag and pulled out the note that had been slipped into the slits of her locker.
She unfolded it for a second time and reread the note written in Brooklyn's loose, crooked handwriting:
Fusion Fall
That was all it said, but it didn't need to say anything else. Ashley got the meaning and she just wanted to get out of the classroom and hurry home.
Her wish came sooner than expect as the bell suddenly gave a shrill ring. She was the first one out of the classroom, her book bag thumping against her thigh as she raced down the hall.
Barging through the front door, Ashley slammed it shut behind her. The bang echoed through the quiet house. She was used to it. Her parents were rarely home.
She grabbed the stair railing and took two steps at a time as she hurried upstairs, her bright fiery-red hair flying behind her.
Throwing her bag in the corner of her room, she jumped into the leathery desk chair and rolled towards her desk. She glided her fingers against the mouse pad and the monitor jumped to life, washing her face in the blue light.
She double-clicked on the internet icon and immediately went to favorites and clicked on Fusion Fall.
As she logged on and waited for the game to load, she placed on her cell phone headset.
Selecting two different cell numbers on her phone, she hit the green-phone icon and put it aside.
Two voices came over the earpiece. "Hey, guys," she said into the mouthpiece. "I just logged on. What about you?"
"Game on," Brook said. "But I need some help. I'm behind the cardboard castle in Peach Creek and these Hydro Hammers are wearying me out."
"Well I'm out," Violet said almost apologetically. "I'm in Endsville getting the Archamada Book of Spells from Him for Paradox's mission."
Brook cursed loudly.
"Did you die?" Ashley asked anxiously.
"Not yet," was Brook's response. "Stupid Hydro Hammers . . ."
Ashley clicked on her character, Agent Crimsonwolf, and entered the game. Just as she pressed down on the arrow key to move her avatar, her computer froze.
She repeatedly clicked on the mouse. "Stupid lag . . ."
"Tell me about it," two voices chorused on the other end of the lines.
"Yeah, take that, hammer head!" Brook yelled in triumph. "Uh-oh, he had friends. . . . Wait, what the . . .?"
"Brook, what's wrong?" Ashley asked, but she didn't get a response. "Brook?"
She didn't notice the whirring sound her laptop began to make. "Violet?" she asked, her brows furrowing when she didn't get a response from the other line.
Both lines were dead. A sick feeling formed in the pit of her stomach. She suddenly looked at the screen as it flickered from white to blue. "What the . . .?" she gasped as the computer gave off sparks.
A cold chill spread across her body. There was a bright flash and everything went black.
The next chapters will be longer. Please Review:)
