Alright, welcome. Sorry there was no introduction before. But, yeah it's fixed yay.

Hello - Welcome to my fanfiction, Aerodynamic Ride. It picks up where MR2 left off and adds a bit of a spin on things. Some changes though: I see Max differently than others do. I think she's a bit perfect in the book, but that's just my opinion. So I try to make her less perfect in my fanfic. Also, I am not a fan of Max x Fang, so no to those looking for MxF, cause it's not here sorry. There will be couples though. My own that I make up some OC x OC, some CANON x OC. But remember, this is my fanfiction. I don't let things spiral out of control, but this is how I want to write it. Constructive criticsm on my writing is always welcome though.

DISCLAIMER - I do not own Maximum Ride. But the new characters that appear are mine, so don't steal.

Note - OC means original character, canons are characters made by the author for the book, along those lines.


Chapter 1

The wind, the endless skies, the empty fields. Nothing felt better. I looked back at the flock, five faces of my family stared back at me. I couldn't have felt happier. Sure, we were on the run from dangerous morphing mutant monsters and there was no one we could trust anymore, but hey, it's not a bad life. I mean, hello, we have wings.

If you don't know the story by now, let me give it to you short and sweet: We've been hunted down all our lives by these creatures called Erasers out to rip us apart and so far, we've been independent with no one to boss us around. No school, no adults, no rules. There's six of us; Angel, The Gasman, Nudge, Iggy, Fang, and me, Max. We're avian-hybrid mutants who escaped from a place we call the School. It may not sound bad, but it gets so much worse. Apparently, we're all a crucial part of their sick project and trust me, you don't wanna know what they'll do. All of us have been there before and we never want to go back again.

Supposedly, according to the Voice in my head and almost everyone I know, I'm the one to save the world. Don't ask me what it means because I don't even know myself. I'm trying my best to find out, but at the moment I'm more worried about my flock than anything. We'd been flying around for hours with no rest. I was really surprised that no one complained, not even Nudge who couldn't keep her mouth shut about anything. "Hey!" I called back to them. "You guys feel like taking five? Maybe ten?" I knew by saying I wanted to take a break was showing weakness, especially to Fang, but we did need to stop.

With four heads giving me approving nods (Fang was the only one who didn't do anything), I swooped into the fields below. It was totally deserted and quiet. The grass was soft to lie in which would've been easier if it were not up to my thighs. I heard the flock landing behind me. One . . . two . . . three . . . four . . . where's number five? I quickly turned my head around and saw Angel, the youngest of us all, floating in the air and pointing north of where I stood. "What's that?" she called out.

My eyes turned to the direction Angel was pointing to, but the grass was too tall to see anything. "Where?" I called back.

"Come up!" was her reply.

I unfurled my wings and lifted myself to Angel's altitude. About 80 yards away from our spot was a body. It was long and thin, like all of us and from the hair I could make out that it was a female. I went further up into the air to see better and I could've sworn, but didn't, that on the back of that body, spread out like arms, were — get this — wings.


Sorry for the shortness, but ya know. Its my first chapter, I was kinda stupid haha. Anyway, Read and Review. Really appreciate it.
