Me: yo! ^-^ another cross over! Yay! this time with Maximum ride and Gakuan Alice! You'know? i never thought about how good these two would be together until i read the other story's for this category. Now i absolutely LOVE the idea!

Iggy: So, he's the new guy? *points at Natsume

Natsume: ...

Me: Haha! Yeah. Well he's one of my favorite characters so i just HAD to have him here!

Senna: Why?

Me: Because i invite all my favorite characters to be on this author section only.^-^

Iggy: So... why am I here...?

Me: well for one; your a character that i really like and two; i like to have you on here 'cause your funny!

Natsume: how is he funny...?

Me: Well Iggy likes to blow things up with bombs, he can make smart aleck jokes that can give me an excuse to hit him, and he's just plain funny!

Natsume: *to Iggy* Are you an idiot?

Iggy: No!

Senna: guys, don't fight. Mykal, how about we get on with the story?

Me: Oh! right! anyway, Mikan disclamer please!

Mikan: Mykal doesn't own Maximum Ride or Gakuan Alice, if she did, she would make it so that the elementry school principal didn't have to be such a jerk.

Me: don't you just want to hit him? Grr! he makes me soooooo mad!

Max's Pov:

"So tell me, Max. WHY the heck are we here in Japan?" Iggy asked for the fourth time this day. I rolled my eyes, woops almost forgot that he was blind.

"I'm rolling my eyes, Iggy. And to answer your question, were here 'cause my mom wants us to check out different countries and learn… stuff."

"Oh." He went back to eating something that the Japanese call Takoyaki*. He and Gazzy learned that they had octopus in then, so them being boys wanted to try them out; grossing out Nudge and Angel in the proses. Angel looked at me in question. "What 'stuff' Max?"

I shrugged. "I don't know; culture and what-not, I guess…"

Fang smirked. "So we came here to learn about Geisha's, manga, anime, and video games?"

The word 'video games' lit Gazzy's face up like a flashlight. "Really? That's so cool!"

I shook my head. "No… I think she said something about… mannerism… food… clothing-…"

The word 'clothing' then lit NUDGE'S face up. "We're gonna learn about FASHON? OMG! This is, like, the best trip EVER! I have soooooo many questions about that topic! Like, those robe-like things that older woman are wearing are called 'kimonos', right? If they are, then what are 'yukatas'? And why do middle school and high school kids have to were those sailor-like uniforms when elementary school kids wear regular cloths? And-"

"NUDGE! JUST SHUT UP!" we all yelled, making people give us creeped out looks. I smiled and waved to them, hey, when people look at you it's best to smile and be friendly, right? I looked back to my flock. Now that I think about it, a lot of people have been looking at us strangely ever since we got here. Well, I guess I can't blame them, we DID look kinda out of place. Iggy, with his light strawberry-brown hair, light sight-less blue eyes, and light features; Gazzy and Angel with their, well, angelic looks; Nudge, mocha skin, black and messy hair, and mocha eyes; Fang, black hair, black eyes, yet with olive skin; and me, with my blond-brown hair, chocolate brown eyes, and non-Hispanic features like my mom has. Fang was the only one closest to fitting in, in Japan.

I sighed, we were getting nowhere here. Heck, we can't even speak their darned language. We started to walk again, when suddenly, we were surrounded by men with masks and caps on.

"Fuukitai, capture them!" a man wearing nothing but black with a white masked barked an order, that was in Japanese by the way. I couldn't understand what he was saying, but I didn't like it. The masked men started to grab our arms, binding us with ropes and what-not. We couldn't even move for some reason.

"Guys! U and A! now!" I started to order, but I was knocked unconscious. How the heck could they capture us without us fighting back? My question was never answered, for my world started to go black.

I woke up in a bed. Bed? Why am I in a bed? I must be back at Mom's. Oh no! Did I accidently take Ella's bed? I need to say sorry to her. Then I remembered, the last time I had seen mom and Ella was in the airport, before I got on that cursed plain with my flock. I suddenly smelled chemicals and medicine. I opened my eyes quickly, and literally flew out of the bed. I was in a hospital of some sort, and there was people in my room; but those people weren't my flock.

"Who are you!" I glared at them. "Where am I! and where are the kids that I was with!"

I felt like I wanted to tackle them to the ground; kick the answers out of them. But they didn't seem fazed about the threat in my voice. One actually smile at me.

"Hello." He said in English. "there's no need to worry, you and your friends are safe here."

"Oh?" I didn't buy his 'you can trust me' nature. "And where IS here?"

"Why, you're in a place called Gakuan Alice, or should I say Alice Academy in English. This is a place where kids with unusual powers –that we call Alices – Learn how to control their powers in a learning environment.

I didn't know if I should believe this information or not. "So, is that why you guys captured us? Because we have these things called 'Alices'?"

He looked taken aback. "Why, we didn't capture you. I found you and your friends in front of the academy gates."

I laughed in disbelief and rolled my eyes. "Yeah right. Then who were those guys with the masks and barrettes, and their leader with the white mask that knocked me flat, huh?"

His face paled. "Did he say anything."

I went through my memories of the event and nodded. "It was all Japanese gibberish though."

"Did he say something like Fuukitai?" He asked.

"Yeah."

He looked down and muttered. "Persona…"

I looked at him in confusion. "Per-who-a?"

He looked back up at me. "Persona, he's a teacher for a class that has dangerous Alices. I don't know why he wanted you, but it doesn't mean that it's for something good."

"So, what, can I leave with my friends now?" He shook his head. "For all I know, you and your friends are already in the academy files. You cannot leave until you graduate when your 20."

My eyes widened. "WHAT! 20? No! No way! I am NOT letting my flock go through something like that! I'm getting them and going, right now!"

I started to leave the room. "That's impossible." I stopped and glared at one of the other men that was in the room. "Why…?" I growled. He looked at me strait in the eye, wow, no one's ever that brave to do that. "Because this entire area is surrounded by a force field, if anyone try's to penetrate it by trying to sneak in or escape they'll get electrocuted before they even cross the wall."

I looked at him, how did he know that we would try to FLY our way out? Then I noticed that my wings weren't hidden. Darn! Guess they know by now that everyone else had wings too.

Silence filled the room, for only a minute anyway. Because to door suddenly burst open with a loud BANG, and fell to the floor.

"Max!" Fang and the other rushed in. He smiled when we saw me, but it faded when he saw who else was in the room. He glared at them and put a protective arm in front of me. What the heck is that gonna do?

"Max, are you ok!" Iggy whispered to me, feeling how tense Fang was and got the description from Gazzy. "Yeah." I whispered back. Angel, who was hugging me, and Nudge sighed in relief. Even Fang turned to give me a small smile, before glaring back at the people in front of us. There were a total of 4 people; three men and a woman. The currly blond one that told me about this 'Alice Academy' gave us a reassuring smile and held his hands up. "You don't have to worry, we aren't going to harm you. Just… trust us on this, ok? We want to help." He told the rest of the flock about where we were.

"So, we're in, like, a school for 'gifted' kids?" Nudge asked. The grown up nodded.

"Wow, X-men much?" Iggy commented. Gazzy chuckled but stopped when I gave him a half-glare.

"And there's no way out of here?" Fang narrowed his eyes at them. They also nodded at that.

"We'll try to help you though. But to do that you'll have to trust us." The woman stated. I gave the flock a questioning look. They knew the answer, even though they didn't like it. I sighed. "Ok, so what's the plan." I moved the flock over to the bed and we all sat on it.

The blondie sighed in relief. "I'm glad that you understand now. I DO have a plan by the way."

"So… what is it?" I wasn't getting any younger here. He lowered his voice. "You infiltrate the academy as students and look for clues as to why you were brought here. We have our suspicions on someone but we can't just accuse him out of nowhere, he's too powerful."

I narrowed my eyes at them. "who is he?"

They looked at each other. "The elementary school principal."

"Tell me again why we are doing this?" I asked glaring at my skirt. Yes, I Maximum Ride was once again wearing a skirt. The blond, who said his name was Narumi, gave me a cheerful smile. "Sorry, but all student have to wear a uniform. It's part of the procedure."

"Then why is Nudg's, Angel's, and mine red when Max's, Iggy's, and Fang's blue?" Gazzy asked. He was wearing a black shirt with a white collar and red string (but he refused to wear it.), Red platted shorts, and black boots; Nudge and Angel were wearing a black sailor looking shirts with a red string, red platted skirt, and black shoes; I had to wear a white blouse with a black jacket and a blue ribbon (but I'm refusing to wear it.), a blue platted skirt, and black boots; and then Iggy and Fang get to wear a white shirt with a black jacket like me and a smaller blue ribbon (that they won't also won't wear.), blue platted pants, and black shoes.

"Well Gazzy-kun, since you Nudge-chan, and Angel-chan will be in the elementary division; you will have to wear red, and since Max-chan, Fang-kun, and Iggy-kun will be in the middle school division; they will have to wear blue. Then the high schoolers have to wear yellow!" Narumi explained with a happy-go smile. "Now, If you three will follow me…" he pointed to the three youngest of the flock. "I take you to your class rooms!"

Nudge, Gazzy, and Angel looked at me. I gave them a 'go-ahead-but-be-careful-and-don't-let-your-guard-down' look. They nodded and followed Narumi.

"And if you will follow me…" a guy with glasses who had a frog on his shoulder walked up to us. "I'll take you to YOUR class rooms." He walked off, I took Iggy's hand, gave fang a look, and we followed. I had a bad feeling welling up in my gut.

Don't worry max. You'll be fine.

Uh oh. The voice was back. What the heck do YOU want voice.

All I'm here to do is tell you that you'll be alright. And that this is another test.

A TEST! Are you freakin KIDDING me?

No I'm not Max.

Well, then what's the basics for this one?

I can't tell you that. I don't even know how long this test will be. It's all up to you, Max. It's all up to you…

Me: like it? like it?

Senna: I wonder what Mikan and the other will think of the flock?

Iggy: I just hope no one will get on to my case about being blind.

Natsume: Don't count on it...

Iggy: WHYYOU...!

Me: Well anyway! ;=^) please review if you like it!
