Disclaimer: Dark Angel belongs to its creators and Fox. I only came up with the ideas for this fic and I made up all the other characters that don't belong to the show.

Note: This story doesn't really follow the show at all.

Summary: In 2025, Max's family and all those who cared about her thought that she had been killed by their enemies. She wasn't killed though, but was taken by an unknown enemy to a different country. She then escaped but with only part of a memory of her past and the knowledge about what she is. All else is forgotten. Years passed and she somehow found her way back home with a couple of surprises...

TERMINAL CITY - 2025

Life was going on as usual that day in Terminal City. It started out as fair, but it had soon became a day in which no one who was living in Terminal City at that time would ever forget.

This day was a day of great despair among the inhabitants of Terminal City for on that day, they had lost their leader. The leader who had become a good friend of theirs, who they all had learned to care deeply about, and had done so much for them over the years was now dead.

Terminal City received the news of what had happened to Max upon the return of those who were on the rescue mission after they had received a call for back up from her of the attack.

A rescue team was deployed right after the call, but they didn't arrive to the scene quick enough to prevent chaos. People with all sorts of weapons were scattered all through the streets looking for transgenics by the time they got there.

The team of transgenics then quickly rushed into the mess crazy acting people in search for those who needed their help to escape from the crazy people.

They soon found Zack fighting off his attackers. They quickly ran to his aid and helped him knock out his attackers. After the all the attackers in sight were down, Zack slowly sank to the ground, and before he lost consciousness, he told them to find Max and their daughter Emily.

Little Emi was found just around a corner, hidden, not far off. She was quite frightened, but luckily unharmed. She was then taken back to Terminal City to wait with her unconscious father for her mother's return.

But when the rescue troops returned, Emily saw that her mother wasn't with them, and she later found out why.

After Emily was found, the others continued their search for Max. But before they barely even had a chance to even start looking for her, something happened that stopped them cold in their tracks. A short distance off a shot was distinctly heard followed by a sharp cry from Max.

Then there was silence. Not a sound was to be heard for seconds.

Suddenly, laughter broke out among what sounded like a group of people in the direction of the shot. Their laughter and cruel comments were enough to tell the transgenics from Terminal City of what had happened.

They just stood where they were and just stared at one another. Pain, hatred, and fear among other emotions were written on each of their faces. Pain for the loss of their friend and leader. Hatred for the fact that transgenics are hated by the normal people and that they'd taken so many of their kinds lives already without remorse. Fear for their lives for the fact that they are wanted dead by the norms and others who hate them.

But out of these emotions, fear wasn't the emotion that stood out the most upon their faces for they have accepted who and what they are and are willing to fight for their freedom. They have done so for a while now even though they still fear what might happen to them in the future. Hatred and pain were more vivid upon their faces than any other emotion.

They wanted to kill all of the people who have killed their kind just because of the fact that they were transgenics and were different from what the humans considered normal, but they refrained from killing them for if they did, they would make life much more harder for themselves. It wasn't not fair that regular humans were allowed to kill innocent transgenics just because of what they are and it would be considered an all right thing to do by the majority, but if a transgenic killed even the worst human, they would be considered as evil and bad. It wasn't not fair that they were treated different just because of what they are. It wasn't their fault that they were created different. They just so wanted to show just how wrong the humans were in what they were doing to the transgenics and get revenge for their kind's deaths, but they couldn't. All they could do was stand back, watch, and if possible save the humans' targeted transgenic when they had the chance.

All of these thoughts and many more were running through the transgenics' minds in the moment that they had learned that another one of them had fallen. How they were treated was just not fair and they so wished that they were able to teach the horrid transgenics haters a lesson. But that wasn't possible for transgenics were greatly outnumbered by the human population.

The laughter of the killers slowly died down as they departed from the scene. Soon they were gone.

The transgenics slowly approached the location in which they had heard the shot and cry. As they got nearer to it, dread filled them for from the location where the group of humans had just left, they could smell a faint scent of blood.

They crept closer and closer to the location so they could investigate the scene of what had happened. When the TC transgenics reached the scene, they saw a large pool of blood surrounded by many unconscious bodies scattered all about.

Max was nowhere to be seen, but they suspected that the blood was hers. The humans' comments were enough to justify that, and there was just so much blood loss. Losing that much blood is not a good sign.

But then, maybe the blood wasn't hers. Maybe it was someone else's. They knew that she was shot, but where was her body?

The leader of the team then ordered one of the other transgenics to take a blood sample so they'd be able to confirm whether or not it was truly Max's blood that was spilled upon the ground of the scene of the battle that had taken place where they stood near of.

They searched and searched for her body, but it was nowhere to be found. The attackers must have done something to it.

After hours of searching without any success, the leader called everyone together once more and they headed back to Terminal City.

As they all entered the city, they all wondered how they were going to tell everyone of what they thought had happened to their leader and friend. Especially her family.
