No Competition Has Ever Been This Fierce
Chapter 2–The Team
A/N– Well, here is chapter two, in the epic Maximum Ride/Twilight Crossover. Hope you like it! Please review so I know if I should continue the story!
"Emmett!" Screamed Alice, her voice reaching every crevice of the Cullen household. For a very petite girl, her voice could surely travel. Her voice can get so loud, a deaf person would be able to hear her. "Emmett! Come here quick!" She continued. "I have some news for you, it's going to happen in about ten minutes!"
Loud, thunderous booms erupted from the hall. Emmett ran as fast as he could toward the pixie-like voice. One thing that the Cullen's have learned over the years was that if Alice called for you, saying she had news, you listened.
Emmett appeared into the living room where he met the welcoming glance of Alice. She was laying on the couch, her head resting in the lap of Jasper. Alice's eyes were staring directly into the eyes of the newly-arrived Emmett. Jasper was staring off into nowhere, as usual.
"Alice, whats up? Are the Volturi coming back? Has Victoria been resurrected? Is Rosalie PMSing?" Asked Emmett, sounding like a kid with ADD that just drank pure caffeine. Alice laughed at the look on Emmett's face. It was an awkward combination of excitement, and nervousness.
"No silly, Rosalie can't PMS anymore, she's a vampire remember? She just always acts like that. What I called you in here for is much more important." Alice stated. The look of worry was erased from the giant vampire's face. And was quickly replaced by a puzzled look. "You know that blog you read? The one about the humans with wings?" She paused, waiting for his slight nod of acknowledgement. "Well it's going 2 be updated in about 5 minutes, and it's going to say something you might be interested in reading." Alice informed him.
Emmett traveled briskly upstairs, and into his and Rosalie's room. He grabbed the sleek, black, Toshiba laptop that was sitting on the coffee table, and ran back into the living room. He took a seat in the white leather sofa that sat across from the odd couple.
Alice watched Emmett's expression as he read the new blog entry. When he got to the end, which didn't take him as long as Alice had expected, his eyes lit up like a little child on Christmas day.
Emmett placed the laptop on the table in front of him, and stood up.
"THIS. IS. SO. COOL!" He shouted, the volume of his voicing putting a heavy metal concert to shame. "Everyone, family meeting NOW!"
The entire Cullen family sat around the dining room table. The only one standing was Emmett. He looked at the questioning faces of his brothers and sisters, Carlisle, Esme, and Renesmee. He sucked in a deep breath, and prepared to give a speech to persuade his family to do something, they most likely would never do.
"Well, now that we are all here, I have a proposition I would like to give to all of you," said Emmett, trying to make his voice sound official, and business like. In all reality, it just made him sound more fake.
"Emmett, I swear if you brought us all down here for something, well something stupid, I will hurt you," threatened Rosalie.
"Wow, no death threat, Rose, you must be having a great day!" Joked Edward, the whole family laughing at Rosalie's expense. Rose sunk back further into the couch, and crossed her arms, her face bright red with embarrassment.
"Now, as I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted," Emmett continued, speaking to Rosalie for the last half of that sentence. "Do all of you know about the blog I have been reading, almost daily, recently?" Emmett asked. The entire family let out a groan. Of course they have all heard of it. Emmett talks about it non-stop. There is maybe only one time where he stopped talking about that damn blog, but only Rosalie would know for sure what he actually talked about.
"Okay, okay. So maybe I read it a little to much, but the last post was interesting." Emmett turned around the opened laptop, it was turned to the latest blog entry, in Fang's blog. "The Flock has posted competition. It is for six-man teams. If we entered, and were picked to compete with the Flock, we would surely win. The competition would be to see which team is stronger, faster, has better survival capabilities, and better all around abilities. I have been reading Fang's blog ever since he started posting. They have saved the world numerous times, and they are basically superstars. What can be better than competing with and/or beating superstars?"
After Emmett completed his speech, he surveyed his audience's reactions. Alice, and Renesmee looked eager, like they were ready to jump up and take on the Flock now. Edward and Bella looked interested in what he was saying, but Rosalie looked worried.
"So, we need a team of six, and there are nine of us. If we are going to do this, three of us need to get cut." Said Emmett, already taking up the position of team leader. "So, we are going to have t–" He was cut off, by non other than Rosalie.
"Emmett, no one even said that we are doing this yet! There are so many problems with this idea, that you probably never even thought of. Yes we can probably demolish those bird-kids, but we would have to use our vampiric powers! That would mean we would have to tell them that we are vampires, and if we did and the Volturi found out, we would be dead. There would be no getting out of that one!" Rosalie rushed through her words, letting out all of her concern in one giant, loud speech.
"Rosalie, calm down. The Flock may not be vampires, but they have a lot in common with us. First of all, for many years, they did not want anyone to know they existed. They will understand if we asked them not to tell anyone about us. The Volturi will never have to know that we revealed ourselves as vampires to them!" Emmett said, trying to get rid of all of Rosalie's worries.
"Hmmm, Emmett, this is something you really want to do, don't you?" She asked. Emmett nodded his head. "Well then, I'm in, we need four more people," she said walking over and standing by Emmett's side.
"I'm in," chimed Alice as she danced over to sit with the team of two, "we only need three more."
Renesmee lightly touched Bella's cheek. Bella stood up. "No, Renesmee, you are not going to be competing on the team, I will not allow you. You will sit home and Esme will watch you." Bella said looking over to Esme for confirmation. "However, I will compete, if Edward will also?" She directed the question over to him.
Edward stood up, and took Bella's hand. "We only need one more. Seeing as Carlisle will have to work at the hospital, and Esme will be watching Renesmee..." Edward said. All eyes turned over to Jasper, the pleaded for him to join the team, as the last member.
Jasper stood up, gave a slight nod, and went to stand behind the rest of the team. The team was now complete.
"Great, so it's settled, this will be our team. I will post our entry on the blog tonight. Let's hope we get picked!" Said Emmett, sounding hopeful.
A/N–That was Chapter two! I hope you enjoyed it. Once again, please review so I know if I should continue it!
