Freebird: Ame 7, chapter one.

It was late afternoon on Planet Ame 7, So called for the never ending rain which poured down.

The world was a dark, lonely world, the never ending rain blocking the sun from every shining onto the planet. The inhabitants never paid much thought to the rain and carried on with their day to day chores and errands. Due to the never ending rain, the world had flooded, the homes and cities raised up on platforms in the sky, held aloft by anti gravity pads placed on the underside of the platforms. Apart from that not much else was different to earth. The main birthplace of the human race, which was destroyed following the destruction of the sun.

Wars on earth had become so violent that in the end a small group of rebels', led by the church, those who wished for peace, no matter the cost, fired all the nuclear weapons they could at the sun, ultimately destroying it and the earth in the process. But before that had happened, A small group of scientist escaped the planet and fled to the furthest area they could within the galaxy. Nobody knew that with the destruction of the sun, the galaxy would be thrown into Chaos, many planets being blown in many directions and even new ones forming from nowhere. Within the ship of scientist was a machine, the machine that caused the end of the wars that ended the planet, the reason for the rebels'... the Machine was called G.O.D. The Geocentric Omni-biospheric Device. This machine was designed, created and developed utmost secrecy. This machine was life, it was death, it was everything, for in its power it can create life from dust, air from space, it was G.O.D... But with the unveiling of the machine. The war to end all wars broke out.

During the war hundreds upon thousands of people died, the scientists who made the machine had to leave, they had to find a new planet before everything ended for them.

Everything was going to hell. The world was being torn apart in a frenzy for this machine and the scientists blood...

**

"Heresy! Blasphemy! You are going to burn for this!" Cried a man in the crow. Many of the crow agreed with this man, but one of the scientists stood up and stepped up beside the microphone.

"Sir. Please!" He pleaded. "The earth is dying! You can see this! The icecaps are melting! The world is getting hotter! We will all die! This machine will stop that!" His many of the crowd cheered and clapped and many chucked rocks and shouted every curse under the sun.

"If the world is going to end! Its by gods hand! He chose for it to happen! It means we must have a new purpose!" This the crowd cheered again. The scientist had had quite enough of this. Stepping towards the machine he pulled the heavy cloth off and the crowd gasped. The machine looked like- Suddenly there was a gunshot within the crowd and the lead scientist fell to the ground dead, a bloody hole in his back. More gunshots rang out from both sides, many people fell down, crying in panic or pain. Another scientist ran to his fallen comrade only to receive the same fate. At this point gunshots the remaining scientists ducked behind G.O.D and clung to eachother. The unvailing was done by 5 people. 2 were dead. The remaining three knew they were next.

"This wasn't meant to happen!" sobbed one of the scientists as she clung to her partner. The remaining three were two female and one male. All in lap coats, short neat hair and an Atom printed onto their coats arms. One of the females turned to her dead comrads and hic-cupped with sorrow before standing up and running to the microphone, begging for it to stop, begged the crowd to stop the violence, but her pleas fell on death ears. So she ran to G.O.D and activated it. And hit a few buttons on a keypad as the machine hummed to life. She went to the microphone again and screamed into it. "I have activated G.O.D If you do not stop I will have it destroy you Atom by Atom!" Tears were streaming down her face, her coat covered in blood as she stepped over the dead partners. "Why are you doing this!?" She cried into the microphone.

"You use the lords name in vain! You are sinning! You can not make GOD!" A lady cried from the crowd. The scientist focused on her and beckoned for her to come onto the stage So the lady did.

She walked to the scientist and stared her full in the face. "You sicken me... you want to see God so bad.. see him then!" With that the lady pulled out a knife and plunged it into the breast of the doctor, pulling it out and plunging it back in again. The lady turned into the Microphone and cried out as the scientist fell to the floor dying. "The scientists are dead! We must destroy this machine!"The crowd cheered as She turned to G.O.D and was about to cut the visible wires when words appeared on the screen. A countdown... Both the male and Female scientist, Evet and Adam quickly jumped up and ran as far and as fast as they possibly could. The rioter(?) turned back to the crowd as she laughed triumphantly "See how they run! Cowards!" She laughed again. As the countdown hit Zero a beam of light shot into the sky and the crowd gasped before starting to scream. The beam came back down and formed a dome around the machine and rioters. Both the scientists had just managed to get outside the range of the dome before it formed and they fell back, gasping for air,.

Inside the dome the air become still, no wind could get in, no air could get in, nothing, but light. The crowd tried to bang on the side of the dome but nothing happened. It just rippled under their attacks like water on a lake Slowly the dome began to close in, becoming smaller and smaller...

The crowed inside cried out in panic as the scientists looked away and covered their ears. The crowed pushed against the dome still, trying to stop it, to push it back, but it came closer.

Within minutes the people in the crowd were being forced tighter as the dome pressed them closer and closer. The crowd started to pray for the lord to save them, many just watching, and some still crying out as they started to become crushed by a never stopping force. The dome become smaller yet, crushing the people, soon the screams became louder and where suddenly cut off by a loud crack, every bone in everyone of their bodies being snapped. The dome still became smaller, and the snapping continued till the dome was as small as a soccer ball. The ball floated above the machine before vanishing back inside taking the people... the dead rather, back to oblivion.

The scientists called in a truck to get the machine and take it back to the lab. They all thought it was over and could work on the machine more. But little did they know, the machine had peaked the militaries interests...

Half the army thought this machine was a new form of WMD, while many thought that if they could take it.. they would rule. So the army divided and waged a war within its own ranks. But the more and more troops that fell, the more people knew about the machine. And eventually the whole world found out about the machine. Many wished to praise it, many wished to destroy it, and some... wanted it for themselves. And thus, the war broke out..-

Many years later, the scientists and the people that wanted a new world, left earth in search of a new planet. Some when one way, some went the other...

The scientists found a planet that seemed like a livable type of world so they programmed god, set the timer and set it down. It would take one week to create a new world...-- Suddenly, a bell rung out, bringing Sparrow out of his imaginative state.

"Well class... that will be all for today!" Called the teacher over the happy cheers of the class. Sparrow yawned and sat up Looking around he found his friend walking towards him.

"Wake up feather brains!" Cried his friend as Sparrow yawned. Sparrow got up and picked up his back as he looked out the window for a second.

"It's a lovely day Charlie. Why are you waiting to bug me, instead of racing around?" Sparrow asked as he nodded at the rain. Charlie simply grinned at the bad joke.

"Well Sparrow, me and the guys thought that since you have a cool name, we want a cool name too!" Charlie grabbed Sparrow by the wrist and pushed through throng of children to get outside.

Charlie was sparrows best friend, he was older though. Sparrow was only 12 years old , but crow was 17. Sparrow had long hair, just reaching his shoulders which he kept dyeing blue, but in the rain is was horrid, it kept getting wet and curling. Where are Charlie had short jet black hair, dark green eyes and a cheeky attitude to boot. Sparrow pulled a his coat on and pulled the hoot up while Charlie just walked out into the rain. Charlie was tall, muscular and worked with his dad as a mechanic so he was always covered in oil some way of another. Sparrow stepped outside of the school and looked around, there were platforms suspended hundreds of foot above the water of the flooded planet. None of the kids knew how they floated, but they did. Charlie pulled Sparrow through the downpour and towards a small shelter. They both opened the door and walked in. Inside there was a young girl, roughly about Sparrows age, as well as another boy, Charlie's age. The girl squealed when she saw Sparrow and ran up to hug him.

"I haven't seen you in ages Sparrow! I was off planet with daddy." The girl mumbled as she continued to Hug sparrow. Sparrow returned the hug, but with less longing. He didn't trust Charlie's friend. The way he stared and never spoke worried sparrow.

"Calm down Beck," Sparrow grinned as she let go of him, but he kept his arm around her. Becky stood the same height as sparrow, she had a slim frame. She had never had a haircut so her hair was to her knees, she loved it with a passion and would let no one touch it apart from Sparrow, Hey hair was a midnight-blue. Her eyes were also midnight-blue.. "I missed you to." He smiled softly and stroked her hair which felt like he was dipping his fingers into warm water. Becky also smelt like roses. "You smell different..." Sparrow lifted an eyebrow as Becky blushed and cuddled him again.

"Break it up lover-birds.." Crow groaned softly at the bad pun he had unintentionally made. "I have been thinking. Sparrow, your name... its not normal.. but it makes you seem diffirent." Sparrow eyed Charlie, expecting an insult so he beat him to it.

"So what? You gonna make fun of me? You filthy Crow!" It was the only insult that Sparrow could think of at the time. And Sparrow heard Charlie's friend laugh under his breath.

"Shut up Harvey!" said Charlie as he glared at his friend. Then he turned back to sparrow. "I was gonna suggest we make a small group, and name ourselves after birds. We all wanna fly one day, so it works!" Sparrow blushed in embarissment at his outburst, only go get a punch on the arm from Charlie. "SO I'm a Crow am I? Sounds like me.. so Crow I am then!" Charlie grinned and pointed at Sparrow. "So then feather face, what about Harvey over here."

Sparrow squeaked and looked down before struggling to walk towards Harvey, Becky still clinging. Harvey's eyes never left Sparrow, nor did he move when Sparrow got to him. Not emotion. No fear. Just a proud look. "Eagle.." Said Sparrow and got a grin from Harvey who rustled Sparrows hair.

"thanks little man. I was worried you would call me Pigeon." Harvey's voice was soft, but it was full of emotion and it seemed to make Sparrow trust him. He didn't know why either. Sparrow grinned then went over to a bench that sat in the corner, only to have Becky sit directly beside him, head on his shoulder "What about your Girlfriend there?" Becky and Sparrow both blushed, jumped up, glared and spoke in unison

"Girlfriend?!" they both shouted. "No way! We are friends!" They both looked at each other before sitting back down at the opposite ends of the bench while Harvey and Charlie laughed hysterically. Sparrow and Becky looked at each other shrugged then went back to hugging.

"Well.." Sparrow started, then started to think. "She has blue hair.. blue eyes..umm.. how about Bluebird?" Sparrow was looking into Becky's eyes so she blushed and nodded "You like it?" She nodded again.

"Well then." Said Charlie. "I'm now Crow, Harvey is Eagle and Becky is bluebird." They all nodded. "and if we are all going to fly one day. We need to get into the army!" Eagle and Crow both nodded but Becky gasped silently and dug her nails in to Sparrows back, causing him to wince.

No one noticed so Sparrow looked at Becky and ran his fingers through her again, relaxing her slowly. She smiled softly at Sparrow before kissing his cheek and running to Eagle. "You need to take me home! Its getting late!" With that she grabbed his hand and pulled him out the shelter and into the rain.

"What was that about?" Crow asked sparrow who was blushing darkly. Crow pulled out his keys and pushed a button on them. Bleep-Bleep! Sparrow got up and walked to Crow, as crow was his lift. Crow reached for a helmet and stuck it on Sparrows head as he pulled his goggled out of his pocket. "Ready little sparrow?" Sparrow nodded as Crow pulled on his goggles, picked up a coat and pulled a bandana out the pocket and tied it over the bottem of his face. He pulled his goggles on and got the coat on, pulling the hood up as Sparrow adjusted the helmet. "no telling your mother, she will kill me for this."

With that they left the shelter. Crow pulled a cover over a Bike, but instead of weels it had pads, making it float. He stepped onto a pad and held sparrow onto the bike before hitting the thumb scanner, activating the bike which came to life with a roar, sitting on the Bike, he made sure Sparrow was secure before driving forwards and off the platform, towards the housing platforms.

Crow landed the bike as Sparrow jumped off and ran into the house. Getting off the bike, Crow pulled it through into the next door garden. Crow and Sparrow were neighbors after all. Sparrow entered his house and ran to his room. He closed the door behind him and pulled the helmet off. Hiding it under her bed Sparrow got changed and walked downstairs to his kitchen. "hey mother?" Sparrow shrugged as he got no reply. Stepping into the front room Sparrow saw his mother laying on the sofa, sleeping. His mother was an army pilot as was his father. But his father had died during a routine drill. A new pilot crashed into him, killing them both instantly. As she was sleeping in the living room, sparrow walked into the backyard and ran to the office area his mother made. Running inside sparrow shut the door and wrung his hair out. The office was small and it held Sparrows mothers medals, his fathers medals, pictures of their crafts, of them. Sparrow walked to a computer and turned it on. Once it had loaded and connected to the internet, Sparrow logged onto the Instant messenger him and his friends use. MSN it was called. Sparrow looked through till he found Becky. She had already changed her name to Bluebird on it.

What was that about!? You kissed me earlier!! Sparrow typed and waited for a reply. When he got one he couldn't help but grin.

Oh no I didn't you imagined it! She typed to which Sparrow replied.

Its my birthday soon. Would you like to come round for it? Mother won't mind. You can come round now if you would like. You just got home from another planet! I wanna hear about it! Becky didn't reply till a few minutes after. But when she did Reply, She logged off a minute after.

Sparrow was confused about what she typed. He read it over and over again.

Cats after the bluebird...

Sparrow turned off the computer and walked out the office then ran to Crows house and walked in without knocking. "Crow? Can you give me a lift? Please?" Sparrow called and Crow ran down the stairs, seeing the worried look on his face he nodded and went out back Sparrow followed close by as they ran through the living room and into the yard. Sparrow got to the bike shed and his jaw dropped. There were lots and lots of bikes. Sport bikes, power bikes, some for just fooling around on, and he built them all.

"you're gonna get one of these soon, take your pick and I will take you were you wanna go on it." Crow said as Sparrow walked through the bikes, dumbstruck. He went to the back and found one that resembled a trike. One pad in front and two on the back it was covered in rust and dents and looked ready to fall apart but Crow grinned. "Nice choice. It was your dad's, we made it when you were younger. He made it for ya." Sparrow couldn't reply as his hand was grabbed and placed onto the thumb scanner. Crow hit a few keys and it scanned, making the thumb the key. "Get on." The bike lifted and Crow pulled it out the shed, jumped on and shot off.

They arrived at Beck's house a few minutes later and Sparrow jumped off the bike, his hair stuck out behind him from the speed and wind. He ran to the door and banged on it. No reply. He did it again.. No reply. So he opened the door and. "Hello? Becky?" He heard a noise upstairs and beckoned Crow to follow him. So they both entered the house. The house was your average house. 2 floors. But this one was dusty from being empty for a few months. Sparrow got upstairs and knocked on Becky's door. "Becky?" Sparrow opened the door slightly and saw Becky sitting in the corner crying. So he and Crowl entered and closed the door. Sparrow walked to becky and lightly put his hand on her shoulder and she recoiled like he hurt.

"I'm sorry!" She cried as Sparrow grabbed her and started to hug her lightly. There was a big bruise on her cheek and her nose was bleeding, she was also holding her arm. "S-Sparrow? Oh sparrow!" She sobbed as she clung to him. "Daddy hit me again! He was drinking... I don't know where he want.. please.. fly away with me?" She said so Sparrow nodded and was about to tell Crow but the door opened and a heavy built man walked in with a bottle in his hands. Becky's father. He glared around the room, not noticing Crow who was behind the door.

"Gtsh ouh!" said Becky's father, the strong smell of booze filled Sparrows nose, making him gag. "gtsh ouh!" He stumbled towards sparrow and lifted the bottle and swung it at him. It missed but Becky started to cry again. He was about to swing again when Crow jumped out from behind the door and braught his leg up, right into the drunks groin. Becky's father went pale and dropped the bottle which fell from his hand and hit him on the head. "M' nush!" he groaned before falling backwards and writhing in pain. Crow grabbed Beck and picked her up as they ran from the room. Crow was about to get on the bike but noticed that there won't be enough room for them all, not safely anyway. So soon as Sparrow got out the door, he stuck his thumb on the scanner and the bike roared into life once more. Becky looked at the bike and went wide eyed.

"H-How did you do that?" She hic-cupped. "No way is that yours!" Sparrow nodded and Crow placed Becky on the bike. Sparrow climbed on and sat behind her and she leaned against him as he stroked her hair, relaxing her like he did earlier. Crow climbed on and the bike sunk slightly "Is this safe?" Becky asked but before anyone could reply Becky's father raced out the door, stumbling towards them holding a bat.

"Only one way to find out!" and with that he revved the bike and opened the throttle and the bike screamed in protest but didn't move. "Oh no! this is gonna suck!" He did it again and got the scream once more. "Come on you son of a bitc-" He opened it up again and the bike shot off, nearly chucking Sparrow of the back as it shot down the road, narrowly missing cars and people as it shot off. Crow fought with the controls as he swerved between cars with Becky holding onto him and screaming while sparrow hung onto the bike for dear life. Finally Crow gained control and brought the bike to a halt and Sparrow fell off the back with a thud, landing in a puddle. "Becky... please remove your nails from my shoulders.." She did as he asked, blushing before quickly jumping off and helping sparrow up.

Sparrow got up, his and hugged Becky and looked at Crow. "Who taught you to drive?!" He shouted, anger taking over. "You could have killed us!" he shouted at Crow, his eyes darted to Becky and he was about to start on her but she shut him up with a simple kiss on his lips.

"Shut up.. Thank you.. Thank you both..." Sparrow looked away and crow looked ashamed. Sparrow looked down and groaned, he was covered in mud and his clothes were sticking to him. Becky's hair was plastered to her face and Crow was drenched. "now what? I can't go home..."

Sparrow put his arm around Becky and messed her hair up. "You do, come on, let's go home." He placed his foot on the bike. "Can I trust you not to kill us?" Sparrow grinned at Crow and bowed before getting on. The bike wined as it started off down the road at a safe speed to everyone's relief. Sparrow opened his front door and helped Becky inside. She was still wearing her school uniform and it was drenched. He took her hand and took her up to his room. "Okay, I'm going to find you something to wear, it will be my clothes though." Sparrow said as he looked through his clothes. "Lefts get you a top first, take yours off. I won't look." Becky nodded and removed her top, her face beat red, her cheek purple from the bruise. She dropped it to the floor with a slap and giggled. Handed her a T-shirt covered with star's which she placed on.

"What about my underwear?" Becky asked. "I can't wear yours!" she giggled again and Sparrow knew what she ment. "Umm.. I can go without. I can dry these and put them on later." She pulled her skirt down, followed by her underwear. She walked to the heater in the corner of the room, shocking sparrow by walking around half naked. He didn't care, they were friends. So he handed her a pair of blue shorts which seemed a bit big for her and then they put clothes on the heater and left the room.

"Hey mooom?" Sparrow called from the top of the stairs as he walked down them, Becky close behind, brushing her soaked hair. "Mother?" Sparrow asked, she wasn't on the sofa anymore so she had to be in the office. "Wait here. I will be right back, make yourself comfortable." So Becky sat down and turned on the TV, flipped to the children's channels and get comfy Sparrow picked up an umbrella which he forgot about earlier and walked outside, opening it as he went. Stepping into the office, Sparrow called his mother who was knee deep in paperwork.

"Hey sweetie." She said as she put down a pen and stretched. "Where were you? I thought I told you to come home right after school." She smiled softly, but Sparrow could see the worry in her eyes, she could see how tired she was.

Sparrow didn't want to be told off so he took a deep breath and..."But I was! I came in and you were sleeping so I got changed and came in here and then I spoke to Becky on the computer and she said she needed help so I went to see Charlie and he took me to her house and we went inside to see if she was okay so we went to her room and she was crying and hurt so we were gonna bring her here and her dad walked in and he was drunk so he tried to hit me with the bottle but Charlie kicked him between the legs and we got away then we were trying to get away on the bike but it wouldn't go so we ended up shooting through lots and lots of traffic when it did go so when we stopped we had an argument then we came back here and Becky and I went upstairs, got changed and now she is wearing my clothes 'cos hers are wet and are drying on the heater in my room so now she is in the living room watching tv and she can't go back home so can she stay here with us? Please?" explained sparrow without pause or intake of breath. Once he finished he took another deep breath and let it out slowly while her mother digested this bit of information. "we are also hungry."

"Well.. you did the right thing. And she can stay as long as she likes. " Sparrows mother sighed and rubbed her eyes. "Okay, come on, lets go get you guys some food, and for me, a nice, long drink." Sparrows mother stepped over the paperwork and pulled her skirt to the normal position. She wore a Navy blue skirt with jacket, a white blouse and high heeled shoes, nothing fancy. On the jacket were badges and awards, as well as her name. Ann-Marie. They bother stepped into the rain and under the umbrella as they went to their house. They stepped inside and Becky's head popped up over the side of the seat,

"Hello Becky. That's a big bruise you have on your cheek." Ann Marie said sweetly as she stepped towards her. Becky simply nodded as Ann Marie placed her hand on Beck's cheek softly, causing Becky to wince. "I'm sorry dear." She pulled the bottom of her blouse out of her skirt (as it was tucked in.) and wiped the blood from Becky's nose softly. "You know you can stay here as long as you like my dear. But we need to get you your own clothes though." Becky blushed lightly and cuddled into the clothes she was wearing.

"I don't mind wearing these." She protested but knew what Ann(shorten it shall we?) meant. She couldn't wear those clothes all the time. "Well. Your right.. but I can't go home!"

Ann just smiled and nodded, "Then we go shopping, but not till after sparrows birthday. Okay?." Becky nodded and a low rumble sounded behind them so they both looked at Sparrow who was holding his stomach, blushing. The girls both giggled and Sparrow blushed again.

"Who else is hungry?" Asked Sparrow and the girls nodded. "Well.. can we have Pizza?" Becky Gasped and nodded, looking at Ann with puppy dog eyes.

"I haven't had pizza since I was on Ame last! Oh please!" Ann just nodded and picked up the phone. About an hour later they had all eaten their fill, and Becky was sleeping with her head on Sparrows lap. While Sparrow fought to stay awake.

"Go on, off to bed you two." Sparrow groaned and yawned. And Becky woke up and did the same, her hair sticking to her face.

Becky got up and so did sparrow. "Thank you for the Pizza." Becky said before hugging Ann and walking upstairs. Ann smiled and piled the Pizza boxes up.

"You look after that girl, she has had a rough time. She may look happy. But she must be so upset. You hear me Sparrow?" She has never been so attached to anyone. So look after her." Anna said, looking her son sternly in the face Sparrow nodded and received a hug and a kiss on the forehead. "good boy. Now.. Off to bed." Sparrow nodded and walked upstairs to his room. He closed the door and saw Becky asleep in the bed so Sparrow turned the lights down and climbed into the bed behind her, cuddling close to Becky before falling to sleep. Ann sat up for a few more hours, organizing something special for her son's birthday. She picked up the phone. And called her boss. "So, the tour is on for next week?... Ah! Good.. Thank you sir. Have a pleasant evening. See you in next week sir. Again. Thank you." With that she hung up went went to bed.
