Shantymoe: Nope, not gonna forget it. Thank you! Not many people think like I do. I love the human Ari/ Angel pairing. It's so awesome! Plus, Little Ari and Angel together are so cute! hehe. Also, thank you for reviewing. Glad you understand.
Thank you Glitters for reviewing. Yeah, then you add in the fact that JP keeps killing him off then bringing him back to life. I mean, come on, can't he just let the poor guy die in peace.
Thank you leednalunatic for favoriting and following me. Hehehe.
Here is the Font key: Telepathic toy talking to each other will be written in bold italics. Telepathic toys talking to Angel will be in bold. Max and anyone else thinking back to the voices is in italics. Angel speaking telepathicly is underlined.
Warning: Nevermore spoilers.
Disclaimer: I do not own Maximum Ride, cuz if I did, Ari would have gotten reincarnated or whatever back into human form.
Guess what? THIS IS THE LAST CHAPTER!
The Angel Experiment is over after this.
There will be a sequel.
Epilogue: Information
Max leads the flock members into the underground tunnels.
She's following the images of her dreams.
The tunnel splits. They go through the tunnel without the tracks.
They continue.
Max looks for the rusty grate she saw in her dream.
She doesn't see it.
I should help her.
Angel decides to help Max.
Don't think about what has to be, Max. Think about what is.
Can't you just tell me stuff straight out?
Max thinks about it.
She looks down. She sees a light outline.
She finds it.
Max, Fang, and Iggy lift the grate.
Am I going to die? Is that what this is all about?
Yes, Max, you are going to die. Just like everybody else.
Max does not seem to like this answer.
They crawl into the sewers.
They walk.
Hello, Voice. A little help here, please.
Angel doesn't feel like answering.
Celeste blurs his way into Max's eye sight. Making her see things that aren't there.
Max sees the ground get lower. Like she was standing on some invisible platform lifting her up above the rest of the flock. She sees them under her. She sees herself. They are looking at her in worry. She sees Fang reach over and grab the Max down below's shoulder. She doesn't understand.
When are you going to trust me, Max? When are you going to trust yourself?
Normally, Celeste lets Angel control what Max calls her Voice. But, Angel does not have the power to completely control Max. She loves Max too much. She would never attempt to do such a thing, even if the purpose is to help. This is her family. Control of anyone in her family's mind is a line that she would never and could never cross.
I'm going to take over this little Voice for now. The little girl will have back control when we are out of the Institute.
Max sees glowing lines of light showing Max the way.
Max looks up and her sight goes back to normal.
Fang worries for her.
She doesn't feel like explaining.
The walk until they reach a door.
Iggy picks the lock.
They open the door.
There is a spiral staircase leading downwards.
You're on your own now, Max. See you later.
They keep moving down the staircase.
They make it to the bottom.
There is another door.
The door was unlocked.
It's the Institute.
Max tries the computer. They need a password.
She is getting frustrated.
It's time for little Nudge to get a new power.
Celeste messes around in Nudge's brain.
Nudge felt drawn to the computer she wants to touch it.
She touches it.
She can now see the closest human connection that this computer had. She can see the woman at this desk, type in a password.
"Um try XjnP7OHj4" Nudge says.
Max does as she is told.
She gets in.
She asks Nudge how she knew. Nudge explains her new skill.
Nudge goes around touching other things.
Max prints out some papers.
She gets ready to leave.
Come little Gazzy. Don't you want to see what's behind this curtain?
Gazzy feels drawn to the big white curtain.
He walks over to the curtain.
He peeks through a pulls it open.
The cages. Cages of mutants.
They all stare at the scene in front of her.
These cages bring back so many memories.
The look around. Angel finds Total, the small black scottie.
Fang and Max find a little winged girl. A girl just like them.
Max wants to save them all. All these experiments. Fang doesn't agree.
The perfect opportunity to bring doubt into Max's mind. Make her doubt this dark boy. The more she doubts him, the easier it is to kill him. A romance with doubt can be disasterous. Disaster is good.
There you go, Max. That's the difference between you and Fang.
Don't you dare say anything bad about Fang. He's usually right. He's probably about this now.
Awwh, she loves him. She needs to doubt him.
Is it important to be right or is it important to do what's right? That's oe of the hardest lessons to learn.
Okay, whatever. I'm really busy right now.
There it is. A tiny speck of doubt.
Max orders them to unlatch the cages.
They make their escape leading the experiments with them.
They make it into the sewers.
Ari hisses from behind.
She tells the experiments to run for it.
They talk.
They fight.
She is getting Ari mad.
Fight her Ari. Doesn't she make you angry? Destroy her.
Ari is mad. He loses his footing. Ari slips.
Maybe I shouldn't give him a second chance. Does he deserve it? No. I won't give the chance.
Max's hand is drawn closer to Ari's neck. She karate chops at it.
Ari slams against the ground.
His neck breaks.
Ari dies.
Max is scared. She feels guilty. They leave the sewers.
"HE WAS MY SON!" Jeb cries from behind.
They continue to run.
"You killed your own BROTHER!" Jeb cries.
He wasn't supposed to tell her that. He needs to be punished. I will Ari back to life. There is a way.
Take Ari away.
The Erasers swam in. They take Ari away on a gurney.
Make some mechanical and surgical adjustments to his neck. Ari needs to be revived.
I will bring him back. Just so I can kill him again. Right before his eyes.
Max doesn't know what to think. She doesn't understand what Jeb means. She doesn't know.
Angel has Total.
They land and settle in an empty band shell.
Angel explains Total.
She convinces Fang to let her keep the dog.
They move on and fly to a small island.
Max passes out the papers. They look and search for their names and information.
Everyone finds something. Everyone but Max.
She feels hurt that she doesn't know anything about her and her origins.
I have two questions for you, okay? Just two questions. No, make that three questions. Okay. Where are my mom and dad? How come I'm the only one with on files at all? Why am I having these terrible headaches? And who are you? Are you my enemy that's inside me? Or are you my friend?
Angel hears this. She can't answer some of those questions. She doesn't know who Max's parents are. She doesn't know why Max is feeling so much pain. But, she does love Max.
That's more than three questions, Max. And sometimes whether someone is your friend or enemy is all in how you look at it. But if you must know, I consider myself your friend, a good friend who loves you very much. No one loves you more than I do, Maximum. Now listen. I ask the questions, not you. You're just here for the ride. For the incredible, indestructable Maximum Ride.
Early the next morning, they took into the air.
They make their way to Washington DC.
RIght now they are flying above somewhere near the New Jersey border.
Max is thinking about all of the information.
Knowledge is a terrible burden, Max. It's a two edged sword. It might help you, but it might put you in danger greater than anything you've faced so far. Max, you have a bigger mission than finding the flock's parents. Focus on helping the whole world, not just your friends.
You know, Voice, my friends are my world.
We'll have to change that. One by one, they will leave you. Then come back. Leave you again. Breaking you. Bringing you heartbreaking pain. So much pain. You will feel so much pain. Emotional pain.
THE END
AN: Angel's Toy Story is officially over.
Can you believe it? I can't.
No worries, there is a sequel.
I promise.
