I've been thinking. A lot. I love Maximum Ride.

Max: I been knew that.

Me: and I love Sword Art Online equally.

Max: traitor.

Asuna: let the girl speak.

Me: thank you, Asuna. And both have characters that are so… alike. So I have decided to do a crossover. You'll love it.

Similarities:

Max: Asuna

Fang: Kirito

Iggy: Klein

Nudge: Lisbeth

Gazzy: Recon

Angel: Suguha

Dylan: Agil

If there are some that you don't agree to, let me know. I may have miss characterized them.

Max: I already hate it.

Me: then you can't do the disclaimer. Kirito, Fang, can you do the honors?

Kirito&Fang: Roza does not own MR or SAO.

Me: thank you.

Chapter one: Gazzy

"Alright, Iggy. We are in the perfect position to get to our rooms undetected," I muttered to my no longer blind friend. Against Max's orders, we had purchased three items each: a game system, all the necessary additions for the NerveGear, and the awesome game Dragon's Realm.

"This mission requires finesse. Are you sure everything is in place for success?" he whispered back. I was about to answer when we heard….

"Almost everything. Here's what you've forgotten," a voice said behind us. We jumped when destroyed equipment landed in front of us.

We spun around and saw the newest member of the Flock. At 5'10, she is the tallest female flock member (much to Max's annoyance). Her thick floor length hair that is blacker than Fang's and strikingly blue eyes makes her the prettiest girl as well (don't tell Nudge I said that). Coupled with her shifty attitude and shifty emotions, it's not hard to believe she's a shapeshifter.

"A… Amelia. This isn't what it looks like," Iggy stammered.

"Oh really? Then what is it?" She crossed her arms over her chest, waiting.

"We're doing a recon. And this gaming equipment just happened to be here in these bushes when we came out," I explained. 'Great, that's brilliant! She'll never guess the truth now!'

"That's it?" she asked after a minute. 'Or, maybe she will.' We nodded, putting on our innocent faces. "Impossible. I'm still waiting for the part about the alarms you have set around the house."

"What makes you think that was us?" I blurted, mentally panicking.

"Your scent was all over the stuff. Now, are you gonna tell me what exactly is going on? Or do I have to get Max?"

"The first person to beat all 100 floors of Dragon's Realm gets 10 million dollars! Kickoff is tonight. If we win, we'll give you a third of the money," Iggy bribed.

"Deal." She turned on her heal and walked away.

"That was too easy," he whispered.

~Amelia~

Those boys are idiots! Do they honestly believe Max won't find out about the game? Even if I don't tell, she'll find a way to figure it out. She always does. Bribe or no bribe, I need to tell someone. Besides, I promised not to tell Max. But who? Obviously not Nudge. Bambi eyed motormouth can't keep a secret. Hmmm…. Maybe….

~Fang~

"So why again aren't you telling Max again?" I asked the raven in front of me. Amelia just finished telling me Gazzy and Iggy have gaming equipment for the very game Max said not to get.

"I'm getting a third of 10 million dollars. That's a little more than three million smackaroonies! Fang, do you know what all I can do with that kind of money?!"

"No, this is wrong. Max needs to be informed right now." I turned around, but she intercepted my arm. "Let go of me," I said, barely hiding my slightly faster pulse.

"Fang, don't. I know they can win this."

"So you're letting the two bomb makers disobey Max in order to get easy money? I thought you were above that, Amelia."

"That is not the only reason. You know me better than that. The kids haven't had fun in weeks." I opened my mouth to protest. "True fun. I just wanted to give them this one shot. That's all. To deny them that is to…."

"Alright, alright. I get it. I won't tell Max. I'll keep the secret. Just stop with the drawn out monologue that is meant to make me feel bad." A slow smile spread across her face, making my heart race even more.

"Trust me: I already knew you could keep a secret," she purred. Her hand on my arm slid up to my shoulder slowly, almost making me shiver. "You know, there is a reason why I came to you."

"Yeah, 'cause I'm not Nudge," I muttered, putting my hands on her hips.

"Nor is Angel. But you have already gained my complete and utter trust. After all, we have our own secret." Her arms slid around my neck.

"A dangerous secret."

"The best ones are. Safe secrets are the boring secrets. Didn't you know that?" I pulled her up against me and nuzzled her neck, breathing in her lavender and forest smell that no amount of perfume or other products can duplicate. "Fang…" she sighed.

"Amelia, why can't I resist you?" I whispered. Max will kill us if she found out I went straight to Amelia right after our leader broke up with me. Don't ask how I know, I just do.

As an answer, she lifted my chin with a finger and connected her soft, full, naturally light red lips to mine. I kissed her like my life depended on it as our bodies fit together like a puzzle. I led her through the bathroom connecting out rooms to my room, locked all possible entrances to the room, and joined her on my bed while slipping my shirt off.

~Max~

"Ugh, why isn't my flock here?!" I huffed, just about ready to pull out my hair. We were supposed to be having a Flock meeting, but only Angel actually showed up.

"I saw Amelia and Fang go into his room to talk an hour ago," she said helpfully. 'What could they possibly be talking about in his room for that long?' I thought.

"Max! There's something wrong with Gazzy and Iggy!" Nudge exclaimed as she bounded down the stairs.

"What do you mean?" Fang asked as he and Amelia jogged down as well.

"I went to check on them because they haven't been out of their room at all today. They had on their NerveGear and Dragon's Realm was in the system." Amelia bit her lip nervously.

"Go on," I said, glaring at the shapeshifter.

"When I was about to come tell you a few minutes ago, the news reporter on the TV said thousands of players are trapped in DR, which is like SAO. Max, they're in a death game rigged so that you can't log out until you beat Floor 100!"

Cliffy!

Kirito: when do we come in?

Me: next chapter. I promise. Can you do the thing for me, pleeeeeeeeease?

Kirito: my pleasure. Read and review please. Reviews are greatly appreciated.
