OMG yay! I didn't know how to start this for the longest time, but now i finally had some inspiration! :D
OH and also for those of you that have read "Airship Grigori" i swear i did NOT copy it. I loved that story and was epically inspired by it! :)
A big thank you to: TheSilverbloodAlchemist
(Author of Airship Grigori)
For writing the story that inspired me to write this! :D
You will go down in history
And I'm VERY sorry to all those who like spirit, he's evil in this story. There will be a little bit of Spirit abusing Maka at the beginning, but its just one or two hits before he walks away.
I like the idea of Maka and Black Star being like brother and sister, so i will probably use that a lot. I will in this story.
And i think i should write in their ages, just so there's no confusion. I wrote Liz and Patty as TWINS, not just sisters.
MAKA = 16
SOUL = 18
BLACK STAR =18
TSUBAKI =17
LIZ = 17
PATTY = 17
KIDD = 18
So without further ado, Start the Fic! :D
6 YEARS AGO
A drunken man stumbled into his home, after spending his afternoon, and most of his money at a cabaret. (Chupa Cabra's)
The house itself was broken down, most of the windows were smashed, beer bottles and empty smoke packets littered the living room floor.
His cheeks as red as his hair from the alcohol (It will seriously surprise me if you don't get who it is… =_= ) he entered his house, and saw his only daughter sitting by the misused and mostly broken fireplace.
Her emerald green eyes sad and seeing nothing, Ash-blonde hair hanging in two limp pig-tails. Her hair had been in pig-tails ever since he had divorced her mother. Kami had left to travel the world, trusting spirit to at least give her a proper education.
He snorted. This useless child deserves nothing. He sneered at the little toy airship she had been attempting to draw in the ashes. Airships reminded him so much of Kami (who once piloted an airship herself), which just thinking about made him angry.
"Maka!" He barked, "WHAT do you think your doing?" He watched in satisfaction as the Ten year-old hurriedly swiped her hand across the drawing, and started for her room.
(Which about the size of a large broom closet, only big enough to fit a tiny bed and a few other small things. Just to get the point across Spirit's a shit father in this story.)
He harshly yanked on one of her pigtails, making her cry out in pain.
"You want to be like your mother do you? Fly an airship? Well that dream is useless, and so are you." A kick to the ribs hit maka so painfully.
He let go and Maka fell a little too close to the small fire she had managed to make when he was out drinking. She screeched in pain and held her right eye, which now was closed, and had an angry red line running across it diagonally.
"Just remember you little brat, if you ever think about actually piloting an airship, ill stop you." And with that threat, he disappeared into his room, most likely to pass out and have a hangover the next morning. Which she knew he would take it out on her.
She walked slowly to her room, and felt under her pillow for a secret mirror, which had been given to her from an old friend of her mothers: Doctor stein. (I know its usually professor, but in this he's a Doctor)
She put a fog on the surface, and scrawled in a name with one hand. Black Star. He answered within 5 seconds of her call.
"HELLO WHAT DOES MY LOYAL MINION NEED TO-"
Then he saw maka's face, and the tears streaming down her now one good eye.
"WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED DID THAT LOSER FATHER OF YOURS HURT THE GREAT ME'S ADOPTIVE SISTER?! I WILL-"
"Black Star! Just take me to Doctor Steins okay?!"
He hung up his own mirror without another word. He couldn't believe it! Of all the things spirit had done, this was the worst! How could someone even do that to their own daughter?
He swore that day, right than and there, that he would always protect Maka. He would forever prevent Spirit, and everyone else from hurting her any more. He would keep her safe.
When he arrived at the dump Maka called a home, she was already running down the very narrow footpath around the side of the house, and would have collapsed and passed out from the pain if Black Star hadn't caught her.
He rushed to her side quickly and hurridly picked her up bridal style (This will be another SoulxMaka) and carried her down the secret shortcut only known to the two of them. Stein had showed them this path incase anything like this happened.
Soon enough, they arrived at the stich-decorated lab that was the distinctive decorating style of Stein.
Black Star had all but smashed down the door, until, relatively quickly, a familiar grey-haired man wearing glasses and a stich-covered lab coat answered the door, and sighed in irritation.
"For gods sake if you've been in yet another fight i-" Then Stein's gaze found Maka, no longer awake, in Black Stars arms. His eyes widened a fraction, then he spoke again.
"Hurry! Bring her inside if you don't want her to bleed to death!" Needless to say, Black Star raced inside and laid her down in record time. A tiny smirk crossed Sten's face, then it was concerned again.
Black Star hovered nearby anxiously. "Is she ok doc? Is she-"
Stein jabbed him in the arm with a needle, and he slumped to the floor with a Thud! He was instantly asleep.
"Hmmm, thats better, now onto Maka." Stein murmured. He patched up what he could, and made her an eyepatch, beautifully decorated with angel wings in the middle. (Won't spoil reason for eyepatch pattern)
Black Star magically woke up right then. He saw that Maka was still unconscious, and opened his mouth to speak, when Stein suddenly covered his mouth from behind.
"Be quiet if thats even possible for you, she needs her rest. And i need to talk to you." He glowered at the professor, for jabbing at his ego.
"Of course i can old man, what's to talk about? Im not letting her go home after what happened to her." The look in his eye almost dared Stein to challenge him, making the Doctor chuckle. Earning a incredulous look from The aqua-haired boy.
"That's actually what i wanted to talk to you about. Would you be able to take her in with you?" Stein really did smirk at the shocked look on Black Star's face. "What, don't agree?" He challenged.
"WHAT?! A GOD NEVER ABANDONS HIS MOST LOYAL MINIONS! HAHAHAHAH-" And he was knocked out again, this time by Stein's fist in his face. The last thing he heard was, "I'll get her an apartment near your house." He fell unconscious before he could agree.
She finally woke up a few hours later, for a ten year old girl, she was smart (This IS Maka were talking about, after all) she knew without being told that she only had one good eye now, and knew where she was the second she woke up. In Steins "Lab".
"Oh good, your awake." Came a voice from behind her, she didn't have to ask who it was. She wasn't half deaf yet. (Hahaha XD)
"So how am i Stein?" She settled for, not sure what else to ask. He studied her a moment before answering.
"Well, i couldn't fully repair you eye, but i could stop the bleeding. I gave you an eyepatch to cover the damage i couldn't fix."
And sure enough when she saw her reflection, she saw the decorated eyepatch, and a bandage on her waist where her ribs were hit.
When black star woke up again, he gave them both the ok to leave. But as they walked down the footpath to the road, he could only think one thing.
Why didn't she tell me she had a grigori soul? A rare and powerful soul like that could get her killed.
He would have laughed if he knew how ironic that would be.
The next day Black Star helped her move the last of her things into her new small house, which was actually right next to Black Star's. They had to only make two trips during the night, spirit wasn't exactly a generous father, spending all his money on drinking and hookers.
FIVE YEARS LATER:
Without the constant threat of her father looming over her, she had practiced in a disguise, becoming one of the top fighter/pilots in Everglade. (Made that name up, no flames please...)
Just after new years, on the 5th year a few days from when she became his neighbour, Black Star announced, somewhat regretfully, that he was leaving to join an airship, but she was too afraid to go. She liked the security of her small home, and didn't want to leave yet.
"YOU TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF NOW MAKA! A GREAT GOD LIKE ME WISHES TO KEEP HIS FOLLOWERS!" Instead of smashing his skull with a book, she just laughed and waved as he disappeared down the street towards the towns small port, where the airships docked.
The week after he left, Maka got a job at a music club his parents owned near her home and Steins lab. (Which she was glad Stein was near)
She became 'one-eyed angel' as her stage name, and sang o the nightly crowd, making more than enough to pay her rent.
But to be honest, her life was a bit boring without Black Star. She wished there was some excitement in her life. She could fight, and fly an airship, but she had no use for either. T sum it up, life was now dull
Little did she know just how much more exciting her life would soon get...
END OF CHAPTER
Wow… that took longer than i thought to write *Dies*
So what do you all think? Is the start of my "Airship Adventures" any good? I REALLY hope so….
I didn't originally intend for the Maka-hurting to be as harsh as it was, only a light hit. (Sorry Spirit fans...)
SO LEAVE A GOOD REVIEW FOR ME TO READ! :P
Cya next chapter! :D
