Title: The Glitch Effect 6: Maximum Ride
Chapter 21: Bumpy Landing
DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN MAXIMUM RIDE OR WRECK-IT RALPH. MAXIMUM RIDE BELONGS TO JAMES PATTERSON AND WRECK-IT RALPH BELONGS TO DISNEY.
A/N: I welcome thee/to a story about Vanellope. I hope that this/will have a real twist. So turn the page/while I set the stage. [That was my attempt at rhyming.]
Thud. Vanellope landed in a lush-green meadow. 'This looks like the meadow I landed in back in Ponyville.' She looked around and sure enough, there was skid marks that looked like they were made by the tyres on her kart. She followed them and bumped into something.
A few minutes earlier …
Max's POV
"Max, I think we're not alone." I turned around and saw Angel pointing to something in the distance. Even with our raptor vision it was still a distant speck.
"Guys, turn around, slowly and get ready to run." I had no idea if it was a pack of Erasers or even one but I wasn't taking any chances. I turned around to catch up with my flock but then something bumped into me.
"Ouch." I rubbed my bruised leg and turned back around. There was a 17-year-old girl, not much taller than me.
"Watch where you're going!" I didn't mean to shout, it just came naturally. Besides, I wasn't taking any chances, even if she was a girl.
"Hang on, my name is Vanellope and I had these weird visions about six bird kids …" She trailed off as she looked at our stunned faces.
"Oh my God, you are the six kids in my visions."
"Max, she's telling the truth." I believed Angel.
"Hmm, if you are what you say you are then come with us." I was just about to take off when it hit me. She can't fly. Well it looks like we're grounded. I looked back to where Vanellope was and a bat was there instead.
"Huh?"
"Is the sun coming up any time soon?" She asked me. I looked over to the west, no sun there. I then looked over to the east, no sun there either. I shook my head.
"Good." She then flew up, which caused my flock and I to fly up with her. We flew through the clouds.
"Where did you come from?" I asked Vanellope.
"A video game called Sugar Rush Speedway." I nearly fell out of the sky when she said that.
"Do you have any special powers besides being able to turn into a bat?"
"Let me think, I can walk on any surface, except for water, I can glitch and that's about it." We arrived at our current house. It was nothing special. We alighted down and went inside. I gave her a classic house tour. I showed her where the bathroom is, where the kitchen is and most important, where her room is. I took her back to the lounge room and everyone was, well, lounging about.
"A ten hut!" they all snapped to attention, except for Fang. He still sat down on the couch.
"Fang …" My voice sounded cold. He didn't even flinch.
"Yeah Max?"
"Why aren't you standing up?"
"Because I don't like to." Fang was clutching his sides, trying not to laugh. I looked around the room and everyone else was doing the same thing.
"GAZZY!"
'I'm sorry Max I can't help myself." He then burst out laughing.
"Quit laughing and sit back down." Everyone seated themselves back down in their respective chairs. "Vanellope, I want to ask you something,"
"Shoot."
"You said that you can glitch, why is that?"
"My programming was a incomplete and I've stuck like this since as long as I can remember. Want me to show you?" We all nodded. She took a deep breath and exploded into a bunch of tiny blue pixels. We then saw the pixels zip around the room, Vanellope reappearing every time the pixels stopped. Eventually, she stopped back at where she started.
"WOW!" Gazzy was over the moon with excitement.
"This may sound weird but can I touch you? I have this power that lets me examine technology and such."
"I have no qualms about it." Nudge then touched her forehead and she went spastic. When she finally stopped she panted.
"That was a rush. Whatever she is, she's not human." A thing came flying through the window.
"Max … that's a grenade."
"EVERYONE OUT!" We all flew out but Total was still inside. I could hear him yelping for help.
"NO! TOTA -!" Angel's screams were cut short as the grenade exploded, and the whole house got evaporated, along with Total.
Seriously exciting stuff! Anyway I want people to vote on my poll about where Vanellope will go after she visited the comedic duo Tom and Jerry.
