So yeah. Max Ride. I've kinda run out of Ninjago things to do and am still working on Harry potter…. So, why not? This takes place between Saving the world and other extreme sports and the final warning, so if something's out of place it's because I haven't read the fourth one. Also I have a new OC, so that's that then.

Rose's POV

I was out of Pancake Batter. I know, that's a terrible way to start a book, but this is serious. Pancakes are a big deal. Especially my famous M&M pancakes.

So I threw on my old Cal sweatshirt, hopped into my Jeep, and drove 2 miles to get some pancake batter.

Fifteen minutes later (including the seven minutes that it took to park. I mean seriously people, it's a Sunday. Get your shit and go) I was standing in the checkout aisle, when I heard some people in the other aisle arguing loudly. I looked over the aisle separator, I saw a teenage girl, with three young kids, a dog, and two older teenagers, arguing with the clerk.

"I am old enough, to purchase things, on a credit card, without an adult!" The girl yelled, her face red. The clerk, a teenage boy, obviously a newbie, was also red in the face.

"Oh yeah, how old are you?" He retorted.

"Twenty one!" She shot back.

"And who are they?" He gestured towards the other kids, who shrank back a little.

"My siblings." She said coldly.

"You're siblings with them?" He glanced over at the black girl.

"Are you saying we can't have the same skin tone to be siblings?" She gasped, eyes narrowing.

"I'm calling security." He hissed, pulling out a walkie talkie.

"Gazzy! Now!" She yelled. The small boy pulled something from out of his jacket and threw it at the ceiling. The roof exploded, creating a large hole and causing debris to fly everywhere. Everyone screamed and ducked.

The large girl took off her jacket, and wings snapped from her back. My heart stopped for a second. Everyone else followed her lead, the dog jumping into the little girls arms.

They all jumped up at once and took to the sky.

And I knew what I had to do. I pulled off my jacket and let my own wings lose. I shook them a little, watching feathers fall to the floor, and jumped into the air, following them.

It isn't that hard to find mutant bird kids, especially when they're not that far behind. They flew all the way to Mt. Diablo, and I was right on their tails.

They landed in the forest and I landed softly in a tree, careful to make sure my wings didn't cause a commotion.

The young boy, Gazzy, flopped against a tree, disappointment clearly written across his face.

"You'd think after saving the world from Itex, we would be shown a little appreciation." He groaned, snapping some twigs in half. I dared not breathe.

The older girl folded her wings and ruffled Gazzy's hair, "Sorry Gasman. We still have food though."

He looked up at her. "We have old hot dogs and granola bars. Not much to sustain six growing kids, plus the dog."

"The dog." The dog scoffed. I let out a gasp.

One of the teenage boys, snapped his head up and looked around. "Some one's here." Everyone was soon on high alert. I tried to breathe as quietly as I could, slowly going backwards, tensing to jump in the air.

Suddenly, there was a huge crack sound. The branch underneath me snapped and I plummeted down to the ground.

I let out a shriek and landed on the ground, on my ass. The dog started barking. "STRANGER DANGER, STRANGER DANGER!" He ran around in circles, yipping. "Total, hush." The small blonde girl snapped.

I groaned and found myself being pinned to the ground.

"Who are you and how did you find us." She hissed, gritting her teeth.

"Whoa, it's too early for death threats." I gasped, as she pushed her knee into my stomach. I squirmed and flapped my wings.

"Max, look what she has." The boy with the long black hair said from behind her Max. Max saw my wings and immediately jumped off. I wheezed and sat up, my head spinning from lack of oxygen.

"You have wings too." She whispered. "Angel, what's she thinking?" She suddenly snapped. The small girl, Angel, stared at me.

"What are you doing?" I asked, getting creeped out.

"She just wants to know who we are. Ask questions." She replied, turning to face Max

"What kind of questions." Max asked, eying me warily, at the same time I asked, "Did she just read my mind?"

"Just who we are and where we came from."

"She looks pretty cool. She has triple piercings. And a leather jacket." Gazzy commented. I noticed that the boy who had heard me hasn't said anything.

"That could mean an assortment of things." Max replied.

"Do you think she was experimented on at the School?" The black girl asked.

"We never saw her there Nudge. She must of been in a different part of the building." The boy with the black hair commented.

"But she does look kinda familiar Fang." Nudge retorted.

"What the hell does she look like!" The boy who heard me burst out. With a jolt I realized his eyes were milky and vacant. He must be blind.

"Oh, right, sorry Iggy. She has short blonde hair, with a kinda side mohawk on the left side, brown eyes, white tank top, a neck choker, and a dagger ish necklace." Gazzy said, while Iggy hung onto every word he said.

"I'm sorry, i'm not some zoo exhibit you can goggle at. I assume you come from the School too so you should know how I feel." I snapped, standing up and brushing the dirt off my pants.

"Right. Sorry, we should have known." Max said gently. "What's your name?"

"Rose."

"Thats a nice name." Iggy stated, and I grinned a tiny bit.

"I know who she looks like!" Nudge said suddenly, snapping her fingers.

"Who?" The dog, Total said, startling me.

"She looks like you Max!" Nudge exclaimed. Me and Max looked at each other. I guess we did, a little. We were the same height, about the same age, and height. We both had blonde hair, and brown eyes.

"A lot of people look like me." Max waved it off.

"Not with that." Fang pointed at my cheek, where my scar was. I looked at max and saw she had a scar like that too.

"How'd you get that scar?" She asked me. I shrugged.

"Born with it I guess. You?"

"Born." We kinda stared at each other for a while.

"Did you know that there are seven people on this world who look exactly like you?" Max suddenly said, breaking eye contact.

"What does that have to do with anything." Fang huffed.

"She could be one of them."

"In the same place at the same time? Doubt it."

"Look, as much as I love this, it's getting dark, and you guys need a place to stay. So you might as well come with me." I said, turning around and preparing to jump into the air.

"Why, so you can take us back to the School? We are in California." Max snapped, suddenly stiffening.

"No… So I can take you to my place so you can stay there." I scoffed, jumping up and hovering in the air. "Anyone coming?" They all looked at each other. With one single nod from Max, they all jumped up and waiting for me, Angel holding Total.

"Okay then. First we have to get my car and then head to Safeway. I need pancake batter."

"Pancakes! Alright!" Total yipped, wiggling in Angels grasp.

"Never gonna get used to that." I muttered, leading the way through the trees.

So yeah! First chapter done. This is gonna be one of those stories where I have an idea in my head and just have to work out the minor bumps in the road. Hope you all enjoy. This is different than all my Ninjago things, but hope you like it.

Titan Ninja out! (mic drop)
