Despite NaNoWriMo and my other stories, I'm gonna start this one. It takes place after MAX. It came to me when I drew a picture of the Wonder Chef trying to teach Max how to cook…and eventually screaming at her.

I also bumped up their ages a bit. So, here:

Max, Fang, Iggy: 17

Nudge: 14

Gazzy and Angel: 12 Yes, I made them twins.

Disclaimer: I don't own MR or ToS. I used to have a copy of ToS. And then my friend broke it…

Max

It was just the Gasman'svideo game. It was harmless, and a bit annoying to me. Until that freak storm happened and the Voice came in. Now we're living it and trying to survive. But with us coming in, almost everything is different. Including the villains…

Carefully balancing all six hot chocolates on the plastic tray, I maneuvered my way to the boys' room in my mom's house. We decided to take a break here before heading off on another charity trip.

Iggy groaned behind me. "Hurry up! Gazzy's waiting to start the final battle!"

I rolled my eyes. While we were staying here Gazzy found this game for the GameCube called Tales of Symphonia that he and Iggy had become addicted to. They had gotten near the end, and I was just hoping they didn't play it over again.

I hurried to their room after Iggy's complaining.

"It's ready guys!" I called out. The flock all ran up to take their drink eagerly. Thunder boomed outside and rattled the window. I took a sip of the cocoa and stared out the window.

"You guys sure you're not gonna get electrocuted or something in this weather?" I looked at them sternly.

Gazzy shook it off. "Don't worry Max. We've played in worse. Now come on. You said you'd play, too right?"

I groaned. Due to excessive Bambi Eyes, I was now forced to play in the last battle. Nudge and Angel nestled in the covers with Total in on of the boys beds with their drinks to watch. I took my place next to Fang (yes, sadly he was into it too) as Gazzy started it up.

After we sat through the opening thing we had to sit through a whole bunch of other scenes, because the girls wanted to see them. See, what the boys did is they would save their file onto another blank file so if something funny happened they could go back and watch it. Even if some of them were funny, I still complained.

So after we watched all those scenes, I was relived when Gazzy picked the original file. Lloyd, the kid in red, was standing in a corner on a save point in some dark, medieval looking castle. Gazzy made the menu pop up so that he was Genis, Iggy was Zelos (how he plays the game I will never know), Fang was Lloyd, and I got to be Sheena.

Genis walked up the stairwell and ran into a giant dragon. It growled something about being the guardian of the key or whatever, and then the screen crashed and shattered to show a battle.

"Hey! I thought I only had to play for the final battle!" I yelled as I ran up to it and started attacking.

Iggy shrugged. "You think we knew about this?"

They did. I can see it in their eyes. But I played anyways and we beat the dragon thing real quick. And then when they went out the door, they all had to have a heart to heart moment that lasted about five minutes before they walked on the teleporting thingy to Mithos. Then they talked some more before they finally fought.

At least they have good voice actors though. They put some emotion into it. As it turns out, the final battle is really hard. We all died a couple times, and by the time we got to his true form, we were out of everything but apple gels and were relying on Iggy to heal everyone. But we didn't make it and were killed brutally.

On our third try, my mom and sister had gotten back from the store and the storm was getting worse.

Mom and Ella were watching like Nudge, Angel, and Total. Once again we were running low on supplies.

"Crap! I died again." Gazzy sighed and healed me with a life bottle.

"How about you try guarding yourself?" Iggy snapped.

"How about you try shutting up?" Lightning flashed and the thunder boomed louder. The rain pounded on the window so that we could barely hear the game. Fang turned it up.

"Shouldn't you guys be getting off?" My mom asked.

"Mom, we just got to his final form. We're almost done."

Once more lightning flashed. But we were almost done. Sheena got knocked back and went into overlimit.

"Yes!" I backed up and summon the darkness guy, Shadow. As the spell finished and Fang died from Judgment, lightning flashed again at the same time thunder boomed and nearly popped my eardrums. The screen flashed white and the controller shot electricity up my arms and all across my body.

I screamed, and I think the others did too. The light grew brighter until it took up the whole room and all I saw was the white light. I prayed to God I wasn't dead as I passed out.

I felt grass below me. A small breeze blew, causing my hair to blow in my face. When I opened my eyes, I saw a pretty blue sky above me. But there was a scent that the wind carried. Smoke? I couldn't be sure. As I recapped what happened, my mind went on high alert.

On my feet in seconds, I scanned my surroundings. I was in a plain, to my right, not to far away, I'm pretty sure the flat grass turned to a desert. My mind was whirling and my body ached. Then I realized a weight on my hip. I looked down and stared.

There is a wooden sword. It's in a sheath. On my hip. I have a sword. Why do I have a sword? That wasn't the only thing different, either. Over a light blue long sleeved cut off shirt was a dark blue strapless shirt. I had on white pants and my black combat boots. And the sword. Can't forget the sword.

What's going on? I thought to myself.

I looked to my left, and saw Fang and Angel. Relief washed through me.

"Fang! Angel!" I yelled to them and ran over to where they were laying. Fang's dark eyes snapped open and he was on his feet immediately. Angel just sat up sleepily and slowly looked around. They were different too.

Fang had a full black outfit, a long sleeved shirt, boots, pants…and a cape. Yes, Fang had a cape. He grabbed the fabric in his hands and stared. Angel and I giggled.

"What...?" And then he also noticed the huge sword underneath it. And it was huge. I mean, the handle was a bit shorter than him, and half as wide as his chest.

Angel was in a white shirt, skirt, and black tights with white boots. She had a dagger clipped to her waist. I shook my head to clear it.

Where are we? I thought, still not seeing the rest of the flock.

Oh, I think you know. The Voice mused back. I was too confused to say anything back. The sun shone brighter as it came out from behind a cloud. When I used my hand to shield my eyes, a glint of blue caught my eye. I stared at my hand.

An exsphere was on my hand. Fang caught my eye and stared too. But he had one, and so did Angel. I faintly heard someone call out to us. Turning around there was a boy in red and a younger boy with him.

Why the hell are we in Sylvarant?

Why does Fang have a cape, you ask? Because he's just that bad ass. But this is the first chapter, so click the little review button down there and tell me what you think. Bye for now!
