Disclaimer(s): I do not own Maplestory or anything in it except my character, EfurPanda2, Hunter. Rairoki is sorta based on him And I also own those little teddy dudes because they die easy.

Some names Kiba, Orihime, Elric, will be names from other awesome Japanese manga/anime because I'm not good at making names up…

I will make up some skills, and other stuff, and places like Ellinia and Henysys are actually like countries, with many smaller cities inside.

The story will be mainly told from Kiba's POV But sometimes it may change

ARCHANGEL

Chapter 1: A Long Day

Man, I didn't know parts of Ellinia, appearing to be a quiet and peaceful place, could be so frantic! Pollano is a small yet busy port where many ships racing to Ossyria can be found, but in our case we couldn't find anything but things we were looking for.

My name is Kiba Inuzuka sound familiar Naruto fans?. I recently became a fighter and a week ago, made the guild Archangel. Since I'm only a fighter, you're probably thinking I shouldn't lead a guild, eh? Well we don't really participate in Guild Wars or any of that crap.

Quintus: Hey come on! We only have 10 minutes!

I rushed to the sound of the voice when a strange man came up and asked me, Do you want some drugs? Yea Pollano is always like that, people trying to sell ANYTHING they find, in a pretty inconvenient spot where people want to try to get to their ships. But people don't care these days, they do anything to get money.

Maxi: I think we've found our ship!

I got to Maxi and Quintus and looked at the number by the ship. 302…Damn…we need

304.

Kiba: Wrong number…

Maxi was a Crossbowman, and was very rich. He doesn't sell drugs though; he makes things from monster spoils and sells them for absurd prices. But he has 10 million mesos right now, and he thinks he's broke.

Quintus was a Bandit, and sorta strange. Sometimes he's extremely happy, sometimes he doesn't say a word, and sometimes he gets pissed at everyone and everything.

I looked around, "Hey, where are Rairoki and Sara?"

Elric: I thought I saw Panda a while ago, but I don't remember ever seeing Sara…

Rairoki "Panda" was usually easy to be spotted. There aren't many hunters these days, and he liked to keep his bow on his shoulder. He was pretty tall, so it was sorta easy to see his Red Viper in the air. Sara was never easy to be spotted however, and was pretty tricky too. The assassin liked to surprise us, so she would probably be by the ship by now.

Elric: Well…If we saw 302, 304 should be near somewhere.

Kiba: Can't you just teleport to that pole up there and look for it?

Elric: Why would I waste time learning how to teleport better? I could walk, and it would take two more seconds…

Elric acts like a smart aleck a lot…

We went to the next ship over…and the number…was 297. Some organization….

Arf Arf!

Akamaru sat on my head and I knew what he was saying. Where the heck was this ship supposed to be? The small dog fidgeted on my head as we looked around the port searching for a stupid ship with the number 304 on it. We saw a ship start to take off in the runway with the number….304

Quintus: Holy hell…

We stared at him for about two seconds, thinking…hell isn't…before running at the dock to the ship. Two tall guards with primitive yet menacing clubs stopped us.

Guard: You may not pass. The ship is departing. You must wait for the next takeoff before reaching your destination point.

Why do they have to talk so formally…? I stared at him for a while, wasting time because the ship was about to depart. I saw a silhouette come to the back of the ship and they pulled out a megaphone. The voice was familiar.

COME ON!

Maxi: Well, Panda's on…

Akamaru leaped off my head and did a doggy paddle over to the ship. It turned the curve to the runway, which sucked for us, because now it was going to take off. We ran past the guards who were pissed jumped in the water, and started to swim to the ship. Maxi took out something from his pocket….a string? He tied it to the crossbow, and then to the arrow, and shot it at the ship

Maxi: Elric, make this taut.

Elric concentrated mana into his hands, and shot it down the rope. As the ship started to get in the air, we grabbed parts of the crossbow and rope, I got Akamaru, and the ship got in the air. We soon did too, and Maxi climbed up the rope as the ship was soaring through the sky. As Maxi got up, it was Quintus's turn, then Elric's. It was extremely hard for me to climb up, as Akamaru was fixed on my arm, and I didn't want to suddenly move it or he would fall. The rope seemed to become less firm the longer I took on it…and then part of the rope broke.

I had to use both hands to stay on, but the jerk of my arm sent Akamaru falling, I couldn't grab him or I'd fall….But then he grabbed on my shoe and was safe for the moment.

I remember on the ship to Victoria Island from Maple Island, I found a dog that looked like a disaster. He looked thirsty, hungry, fur was everywhere, and he must have had it rough before, because as soon as I put up my hand to comfort him, he bit my….

…ankle? AHHHH HOLY-

Apparently he was slipping from my shoe and he had to sink his teeth and claws into my ankle. Ahh damn that hurt…well at least I can use two hands now. I climbed up to the top of the rope, amazed the arrow was still inside clean in the ship, and climbed up the ship. Elric's sickness had kicked in and he threw up over the side, looking at his puke when he was done and laughed because…"it looked funny."

Sara rushed up to me, chuckled, and said, "Think of Mina's reaction when she finds out you almost died….hehe." She laughed again and ran off around the ship.

Mina, Luther, and Luke were all becoming spearmen, and said they would come to orbis later. Something sorta obvious was going on between me and Mina, yet the only other person to talk about it would be Sara. Mina isn't shy and timid or anything when I'm around, she just looks at me with a "Your hot…" look, and I sorta look at her the same way...

Maxi was playing with a slippery snail ball he made, which was actually pretty amusing. Quintus sat down at the corner, and Elric was still throwing up a bit, but when he did, he would freeze his puke and laugh. I walked into the cabin of the ship, where many people were playing Poker or Memory, or having a bite to eat. I walked by some cabins and stopped at one, listening to a mage lecture some newer magicians.

Mage: Make sure when you focus your mana into your wand or staff, you burst it out and channel it to the end, and strike the dummy.

I looked out the window of the cabin and saw many clouds go by. Akamaru was rubbing my ankle in a way to say he was sorry for biting it. He saw someone carry out a plate of lobster and let out a joyous, ARF! He attacked the plate, and noticing I was sort of hungry too, I went to the chef and asked, "Could I have 1 more plate of lobster?" I put 5000 mesos in his hands and I took a plate. He just stared at us as we walked in the dining area eating our lobster.

Akamaru, feeling that the lobster wasn't enough, decided to get himself some unagi. He munced on it a bit, and realized it was extremely fun to play with, so went on the deck and started flopping it around.

I saw Panda drinking a milkshake on one of the tables and I sat down next to him.

Rairoki: You guys got on the ship…uniquely.

Kiba: Errr… thanks. Why didn't you guys tell us you found the ship?

Rairoki: We decided to keep it a secret from you. Besides, if we went looking for you,

we'd get lost and would be in more trouble.

Kiba: Sure…I bet you two were too busy making out you forgot about us.

Rairoki: BLEH I don't like Sara!

I stared at him, he stared back.

Rairoki: I really don't, but Quintus does.

I chuckled.

Rairoki: Oh, and by the way, you owe me 1000 mesos. Your dog ran off with my unagi.

With that he got up and went out to the deck with the milkshake.

I walked out to the deck. The weather wasn't foul at all, it was sunny at a nice temperature seeing as we were high in the air, with a few clouds speckled through the vast sky. I wondered what type of clouds kept Orbis afloat. Over half of that place is covered with the Guild Gallery, and yet those clouds don't crumble or dissipate or anything.

The weather was nice, and Balrog didn't seem to be coming out anytime today. But I felt something drip on my head, and it couldn't have been rain. More stuff dripped on my head and I felt uncomfortable. I saw a HUGE dead bird fall from the sky but it didn't fall from onto the deck. Akamaru ran up to me with unagi in his mouth, and said a sorta ruffled ARF ARF ARF, and leaped on my head. It took me a while to realize it, but the thing that dropped on my head…was blood.

Hope you like it. Please R&R, because I want this to be a good fanfic that I DON'T give up on. If you couldn't tell, Kiba is the leader of Archangel, and Mina, Luther, Luke, Panda, Quintus, Sara, Maxi, and Elric are all part of it. I dunno if this chapter is long or short…

BTW I got Kiba from Naruto, Quintus from some dudes name on a forum, Rairoki I have part of all of my fanfics, and I named him Panda since part of my Maple IGN has Panda in it. And Elric from Edward Elric in FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST! YEA!
