DISCLAIMER; I DO NOT OWN MAIMUM RIDE, ARI, THE FLOCK OR ANY OTHER CHARACTERS FROM MAXIMUM RIDE! I AM NOT JAMES PATTERSON!

Note: This is my first ever fanfic. So PLEASE review once you've read it. PS The main character doesn't like MAXIMUM RIDE. Much... I have added and changed.

I bet you've heard of Maximum Ride. Of course you have. Strong, fierce Max. Well she's not the only one…. This is our story.

I am Roxanne Liverly. 96 human, 4 Komodo Dragon. We escaped BEFORE the Flock. There are six of us. Jethro (14, also happens to be Fang's twin brother), Rippto (10 and my brother) Zapphire (8), Corza (12 + ½), Lanics (9) and me. We are able to morph into Komodo Dragons. It's not the best, but we are kinda deadly. We can kill with a bite. But we don't do that. Much…… We morph mainly, but we have to cover our legs and chests as they are covered in scales.

We were crawling in the dust just outside San Francisco. Erasers (they're after us too. Two breakouts from the School is NOT allowed.) had attacked, and all we cared about was eating and sleeping. Sleeeep…..

Tip for all adventures: DO NOT wear jeans when crawling. They are NOT made for it. We had hijacked a shopping centre and stolen some clothes, but then Ari turned up (whooptido) and we had to move. Jethro's leather jacket was holding up well, but I wasn't sure about Zapphire's choice of skirt.

"When do we eat?" whined Lanics, who I believe is a walking stomach.

"You greedy pig we ate an HOUR AGO!" said Corza.

"But I get hungry easy….." he mumbled.

"Dudes, I have hamburgers and the first one to get to those trees, gets first pick," I replied. Everyone moved incredibly quickly after I said that.

When we arrived (Rippto got there first) Lanics, Corza, Zapphire and Rippto ate and snuggled down to sleep.

"Well that rules out them for first watch," I muttered. "Yoy! Jethro! You're on first watch!" I said, climbing onto a branch. Jethro just glared.

Ahhhhh, Sleep. An escape from reality. As the Queen song flowed into my head, I smiled and switched off, not knowing that I would be woken up tomorrow by Maximum Ride……..

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Crack!

I woke to see a large pale face leaning over me.

"Found ano-OWW!!!!!!" I kneed him in the nuts. Hard. He toppled out off the tree, still yowling.

"It wasn't that hard," I muttered. I peeked through the leaves to see Corza, Zapphire, Rippto and Lanics struggling against their captors who were flying 8 foot in the air. They all were fixed on Jethro and a boy who looked the exact same fighting in the dust. The pale faced blonde boy was still rolling around on the floor like a cat.

I slithered down the tree and saw the leader of our captors.

MAXIMUM RIDE.

"Maximum Ride, you're the last person I'd expect to hold fellow mutants captive," I shouted up to her.

"Who are you?" She demanded.

"Let go of them first!" I commanded back. Maximum Ride paused, then nodded to her flock. They flew back down to the ground and released them. During this time Jethro and the other guy were still fighting.

"Who are you?" She repeated.

"Roxanne. This is Rippto," he waved "Corza, Lanics, Zapphire," pointing at each one in turn. "and that is Jethro." I said pointing to the ball which was Jethro and the boy fighting. "We are 96 human, 4 Komodo Dragon. And you, of course are Maximum Ride and her infamous flock,"

"Angel, Gazzy, Iggy, Fang and Nudge." she said. So Fang was the one fighting Jethro.

"Sorry Iggy!" I said.

"It's ok," he managed in a strained, high voice.

"I see Jethro's getting on with his brother!" said Lanics.

"His brother?!" said Max, speaking more normally for the first time.

"Yes. It's on the files in Itex," I said. "They'll stop sometime,"

"Anyone for breakfast?" asked Iggy. A loud "Yes!" resounded from everyone.

A/N: Review!!!! Next chapter Max 2 may make an appearance……
