Evil's New Face
Third Person POV
In a large conference room, deep underground, the lights dimmed and the large projector flickered to life, casting its images onto the large screen in front of the seated crowd. A woman in a white lab coat, appeared behind a podium, and pulled out a controller from her pocket. She pointed it at the screen, and the logo of the corporation was replaced by the plan she was proposing: The New Earth.
"For years this corporation has whittled around behind the scenes, always the assist, never the scorer. For years, this corporation has let its larger branches push it around, step on it, and take credit for all its achievements. The other branches are fools to underestimate our power. We will rise to the top, and show them what we're made of.
"In the past decade, we have successfully created hundreds of new technologies that the larger corporations kept for themselves, and didn't let civilians use, or even know about the advances we've made. They hushed it all up: all the leaks in intelligence to the public, they twisted into myths and legends – they made our achievements seem unrealistic, incapable of being achieved. 'Seem' is the key word, for you all know what we've done."
The woman pointed her controller at the screen, and a picture appeared, of one of their greatest achievements: Omega.
"Omega was our shining star: our most outstanding achievement to date. We'll not go into his demise – not yet. For that's not the point at this moment. Maximum Ride, our Avian-Human Hybrid, our other most successful achievement, brought him down; but she is not our most pressing problem at this time.
"Our most pressing problem is Itex, our biggest corporation, who is trying to rebuild itself, and take down Maximum Ride. That's our job. We put her into this world, and we will take her out."
She looked around the conference room, scanning the faces there. She pointed the controller back at the screen, and Omega disappeared, and was replaced by lab reports on the Avian-Humans.
"Despite Maximum Ride not being our biggest problem, you still can never underestimate her, or her team of experiments. Itex has been working behind the scenes to find a way to eliminate her – so she cannot save the world from their 'destruction': their By-Half Plan and their Re-Evolution. Their old Director, and Dr. ter Borcht, are currently in a specialized compound jail in Germany. They were foolish in their plans – I will not fall to the same fate.
"As your Director, I will make the ends justify the means, and make sure we do not fail in our plans for our New Earth. Itex will fall, and we will rise to take their place as rulers of this planet:

A/N: Okay, so I decided to keep the first chapter. I liked it and it set the plot for the story very well. Oh, and in case you HAVEN'T FIGURED IT OUT: I'm rewriting this. REVIEW!!!
