Rulers of the Skies
Prologue: Escape and a Freak Accident
Disclaimer: I don't own Maximum Ride, or the Inheritance Cycle.
I do own any OC's that appear in this story.
I'm writing this on a whim, so don't expect it to be too substantial, or for me to update often.
This is a spin-off of Birds of a Feather, it starts during Schofield's raid on the lab, but after that, moves too Alagäesia, and won't go back.
Also, this involves a whole other cast of bird-kids, so Jeffrey, Alexa, the Flock and the Raptors, won't be making appearances.
Hawk woke suddenly, and glanced around in confusion.
Bang!-Bang!, Bang!-Bang!
Hawk glanced too his left, and saw Telia, also awake, also looking around in confusion for the source of the gunfire, her storm-grey wings at ease.
Suddenly, a female figure, standing exactly a metre tall materialised in front of Hawk.
'What the f-' He swore quietly, as the figure put a gloved finger too her visor.
Quiet.
Hawk closed his mouth as the mystery girl, drew a chrome pistol, and blasted the locks too his and Telia's crates.
She then did the same for Torque and Elizabeth.
Cautiously, they all exited their crates.
Suddenly, a person Hawk had never expected too see alive again walked around the corner, carrying a chunky, and dangerous looking pistol.
'Wendy, you came back!' said Hawk in joy, and he stepped forward too embrace his long-time friend, when reality buckled.
The suited girl threw herself clear, and Wendy sprang backwards and brought her gun up.
'What the fuck?' Yelled a giant of a woman in shock, as Hawk, Telia, Torque and Elizabeth were picked up by the warp-rift.
Then the room was gone, and was replaced, with an indescribable, chaotic, logic-defying, directionless, multi-coloured void.
Hawk, Telia, Torque and Elizabeth fell unconscious, as their minds shut down too shield them from the madness of the warp.
They would've died in a relatively short amount of time, if there hadn't have been an inordinately powerful, freak occurrence of magic in Alagäesia at that precise moment.
