Hello Fan-Fiction! I'm making my first Maplestory fanfic, Amazon. It's one of those, "oh my god I got sucked in!" storys, but it's more than that. It has Romance, friendships, blahblahblah, you know the rest. :D So I hope you all enjoy the first chapter!

Before you start reading, I'll give out a little description on what the story's about. It's about a regular school girl from Florida named Aundrea who gets (DUNDUNDUN) sucked in to the world of Maplestory by an evil force because she has a special power known as Mana Vigor which enables her to concentrate all her power into one powerful and destructive shot.

Well, enough said...so ENJOY!~


"Wake up! It's time for your match!"

"…"

"Five more minutes…!" A voice muffled. The voice belonged to a small-framed girl about 5,3 was sprawled across her bed, face down. Her long, auburn hair was spread all over her sides as she lay there, motionless.

"I mean it, Aundrea!"

Aundrea groaned and sat up on her bed. She quickly got off the mattress, causing her to slightly stumble across the floor; she was definitely not a morning person. Aundrea walked over to her bathroom mirror and brushed her hair into her trademark side pony-tails. Afterwards, she slipped on her archery team outfit, courtesy of the Sarasota Archery Team.

Overall, Aundrea was a pretty average teenage girl except that she was the club leader of a kick ass archery team who was going to be competing in her archery state championships.

"Come on, Aundrea! You'll be late!"

"Hold up, Mom! My hair tie is becoming loose!" Aundrea yelled back, tightening her hair scrunchy.

Her mother impatiently groaned, annoyed at the fact the lead shooter of the Sarasota team was going to be unfashionably late for her first state championship. Aundrea ran down the stairs and grabbed a stray granola bar from the kitchen table, eating it in two, quick bites. She followed her mom out of the house into their average Honda Civic. After her mom closed the front door of the car, she spoke up.

"Your dad is going to be so proud of you once you win the competition!"

"If I win! The Emporias are a pretty good team, but we can still beat them if we try our hardest." Aundrea replied, and then boasted, "I mean, we're the best in the county."

"…And their team is from another county, so they could be a bit of a challenge…" Her mom replied.

"Well, they don't scare me, I'll kick their asses if I have to!" Aundrea yelled, a bit too loud, causing bypassing drivers to stare.

"That's my confident girl! Kicking butt when she has to!" Her mom chimed in, appreciating Aundrea's flamboyant and poised attitude.

After the short drive to the competition center, Aundrea carefully scrutinized the large, spacey archery field; crowds of people gathered around it. In the surrounding crowd, a group of people held large grey bows, those people, of course, were the Sarasota archers. Across from the field, a large, expensive looking bus parked on the side. On the side of the bus, there was a banner with large letters that read "Emporia," the competing team. People with jerseys and long bows came out of the bus; that was the Sarasota's competition.

Unfortunately, Aundrea was intimidated when she saw the opposing team come out of the bus. Their jerseys looked like what you would see in a sports magazine, decorated nicely and personally made which made the players look like professionals. Aundrea usually was never overwhelmed, which made the situation worse.

'Why can't the Sarasota's afford sweet uniforms and a personal vehicle like theirs?' Aundrea thought with a hint of jealousy.

"All right; you go to the field and I'll find somewhere to park, okay?" Aundrea's mom spoke up.

"Ok, see you at the field." Aundrea replied, her incredulous feelings getting the better of her.

'Ugh! What am I thinking? Of course we can beat those spoiled brats! Just because the Sarasota team looks less professional than the Emporias doesn't mean they'll automatically win!' Aundrea screamed in her head.

The Auburn haired teen took in a deep breath and sighed heavily, letting go of all her negative feelings. With induced confidence, she began to walk up to the archery field.

"Yo! Aundrea!"

Aundrea immediately spun back at the familiar voice; It belonged to her bestest friend in the entire world, Stacy. Following Stacy, Chrissy, her other friend, eagerly waved at her.

"Hey guys!" Aundrea greeted back.

"How's our future archery winner doing?" Chrissy asked, with obvious excitement in her voice.

"Great, but you should have seen my competition, they're uniforms are amazing and the bows look so professionally made! Oh and don't forget about their ride! It looks like friggen limo, I mean how the hell do they afford-!"

"Aundrea! Calm down!" Stacy laughed, interrupting Aundrea's incessant rambling, "And don't worry, Chrissy and I will be cheering on for you."

"Please do." Aundrea grinned, "I need all the boost I can get, cause If I don't win this; I'll be toast."

'Well, it's just a game…the whole point of this is to have fun; you don't have to be so competitive."

The three girls ceased to silence, not saying anything for a short while.

"Nahh." Me and Chrissy spoke up.

"It's not just a game, it's her destiny to see whether her team goes on to the nationals!" Chrissy laughed as Aundrea nodded.

"Guys!" Stacy laughed back, "You're ruining the whole point of this-!"

"Archery Tournament Sarasota vs Emporia begins in five minutes!"

The sudden announcement came from Aundrea's Dad, who was using speakers. He was the official coach of the Sarasotas which made the whole competition twice as important for Aundrea. Just like Aundrea, he was a very competitive person; people often say she inherited her competitive spirit from her father.

"Oh crud! I forgot, I need to change into my jersey!" Aundrea shouted, but she felt someone tug onto her shirt.

She turned around and saw a shorter girl with short, auburn pig-tails, just like hers. The look-a-like was her little sister, Claire.

"What?" Aundrea rudely said.

"Don't 'what' me! Mom said for me to make sure you're not causing any trouble!" Claire grinned, being the annoying sibling she always was.

"She did not say that." Aundrea said, pursing her lips in slight irritation.

"How do you know?"

"I'm not stupid, you drove here with Dad!"

"Fine..you got me on that, well…make sure not loose..." Claire stuck her tongue out, "…or Dad'll kill you!"

"Whatever, I need to change! Go to Mom, she's probably waiting at the bleachers by now!" Aundrea said, pushing her little sister aside, and then waved to her friends, "Bye Chrissy! Bye Stacy!"

"Bye!" Stacy and Chrissy chorused, "Good luck!"

After changing into her plain, not so ornate uniform, Aundrea ran out to the field to meet her teammates.

"Ok, everyone get into your positions!" Aundrea's dad called out.

Aundrea's and her teammates arranged into a single file line, Aundrea being the second person from the front of her line. Their competition, the Emporias, lined up across from them.

"Each line behind a target must consist of alternate teams!" He said, "Any failure to oblige to the rules will result in suspension, same goes for Emporia! Now we're introducing our top five: Mary Jones, Lei Taylor, Annie Levingston, Jerry Brown, and my daughter and top shooter, Aundrea Flemming!"

Everyone from the bleachers eagerly clapped. Aundrea smiled when she heard shouts and voices screaming out in anticipation. A couple of people screamed out her name, one of them probably being Chrissy.

"First person to shoot is Levingston followed by Couper from Emporia."

Levingston picked up her bow, then carefully drew the arrow, aiming it at the target. She immediately shot; the arrow hit the leather target with a hard thud.

"Oh! Close to the bullseye! A score of 50 for Sarasota, next up is Couper from Emporia!"

Couper knocked, drew the arrow, slowly making sure to get a precise aim. He finally shot the arrow.

"Oh my! A bullseye! 100 points for Emporia which means they are leading by 50! Next is Flemming!" Aundrea's dad shouted.

"Go Aundrea!" Her mom shouted from the bleachers, "Go for the bull's-eye!"

People clapped as Aundrea picked up her composite bow. She carefully aimed…drew back the arrow…and shot.

"Yes!" Aundrea chanted under her breath; she scored a 100!

"A 100 for Flemming!" Her dad announced, then whispered, "Great shooting!"

"I'll get another perfect score for you, Dad!" Aundrea whispered back.

"You better, cause if we win, we'll celebrate!" Her father urged, "This is the state finals so this means a lot to us! Loose and you start over from county competition which means flunking for a year! So win or die!"

"All right!" Aundrea said, not surprised by her father's over confidence.

'I know I'm going to win, I'll show everyone that I can win Finals easy, no doubt.' Aundrea thought.

"Next is Michaels from Emporia!"

"A 25 for Emporia!"

"A 50 for Sarasota!"

"A 75 for Emporia!"

"A 100 for Sarasota!"

"Another 100 for Emporia! This is getting to be a crazy tie-breaker! Aundrea you're up next!" Aundrea's father yelled through the speaker, anxious but excited at the same time.

Aundrea took her bow and hit a 50.

`Damn! What's wrong with me today?' Aundrea bit my lip at my upsetting hit.

Aundrea took deep, slow breaths, calming herself down. She had to win this.

"A 25 for Emporia!"

"Levingston."

Levingston scored a 25. In Aundrea's standards, they were doing okay, but not good enough.

After 30 minutes elapsed, it was time for the final shot since Sarasota and Emporia were both tied to 1705.

"Okay…this is the moment of truth…to see who gets to move onto the nationals and who loses which ends up in team suspension, for a year! The best shooter of each team, go knock your arrow to the bow and prepare to shoot! First up is Emporia!"

The people in the bleachers began to clap, causing the tension to heat up even more.

Couper, the best shooter from the Celticas aimed and shot; he hit a 75.

'Oh crud…that means I need a 100 to win!' Aundrea said, her thoughts running all over the place.

"Aundrea Flemming! From the Blitz!" Her dad yelled, and then walked over to Aundrea.

"You can do it! Just score a 100 and you got yourself a trophy, state championships, and a special family surprise!" He said to me, "All you need is to beat the score of 1780!"

"Okay." Aundrea nervously said.

Aundrea walked towards my bow; it felt like ages before she reached it because of all the pressure put onto her. As she walked, the audience's cheering seemed to escalate, becoming louder…and faster.

"Aundrea! Aundrea! Aundrea! Aundrea!" They chanted.

'I have to win! I need to win this championship!'

"I can do this…" Aundrea said to herself, calming down.

She shook herself of the tense feeling and nervousness, before knocking her arrow onto her bow. Aundrea began to aim towards the target.

Just when she was about to shoot, a blood-shrieking scream echoed throughout the atmosphere. Aundrea's head immediately throbbed in pain, causing her to drop her bow and hold her head in desperation and agony. Her head felt like it was going to explode any minute, into a million pieces.

Struggling, Aundrea squint her eyes open and looked up at the sky.

The sky was crimson red.

"What the…" Aundrea grunted, still clutching her head, noticing bolts of lightning flashing around the firmament.

It didn't look like any regular thunderstorm, the sky was literally red. But something else was very wrong; nobody was in sight, except for Aundrea. The bleachers were empty as well as the archery field.

"H-hello?" Aundrea's frightened voice echoed.

She didn't hear anything.

In a matter of seconds, Aundrea heard a loud roar; she turned around and saw a mysterious hooded figure walking towards her. Not knowing what to do, Aundrea slowly backed away, fearful of what that unusually creature could be capable of.

Surprising her, the figure stopped in its tracks; Aundrea's heart began to beat rapidly.

"You are the chosen one, young amazon." The hooded figure spoke up, his large, crimson hood hiding his identity, "You belong with us."

Unbeknownst to Aundrea, a large rock behind her caused her to fall backwards. To her disadvantage, the hooded figure quickly took this as a chance to grab her arm. Aundrea let out a stifled gasp when she saw the figure's bony hands clasped onto her thin wrist.

"Let go!" Aundrea shrieked, struggling to break free from his strong grip.

He didn't reply. Instead he used his free hand to wave across the ground, causing a rather deep pit to form against the ground.

Not wasting any time, the hooded figure pushed Aundrea into the bottomless pit.

Aundrea screamed for her dear life, falling into the never ending depth of the pit.

Instantaneously, everything around her turned to pure darkness…
