WADDAYA MEAN THEY'RE 2 BIRD!

Chapter 1: prologue

Takes deep breath

Dear reader,

Ok, lets' get the introductions over with so we can get on with all of our lives. Hi, I'm Maximum Ride a.k.a. Max and this is my life after The School. (I am a female for your information by the way.) The School was a place where sick whitecoats (scientists) did horrible genetic experiments on unborn babies and people. I was born there along with my family: Fang, Iggy, Nudge, the Gasman (his name serves a purpose. A word to the wise when its meal time: bring a gasmask if you wish to live.) and Angel. Fang, Iggy and I are all 15; Nudge is 13, Gazzy (The Gasman's nickname. What? Would YOU want a name like the Gasman? No? Didn't think so.) is 9 and Angel is 7. Gazzy and Angel are the only blood relatives, but who cares? I'd give my life for them and so would they. We were made by the whitecoats. We were born 98 human and 2 bird. Because of that, all 6 of us have wings. Not to mention over the 5 years after escaping The School, we have discovered that we have powers. Angel can read minds, breathe underwater and control minds. Gazzy can make things invisible and can imitate any voice he's ever heard. Nudge can do sonic blasts by screaming and she can touch an object and find out who's owned it and its history. Iggy is blind (Dumb ass whitecoats tried to improve his night vision and now he's in the dark forever. Oops.) but he's got the best ears on the planet, can pick any lock and can control water. Fang can control the darkness to do his bidding. Me? I got a mini prophet in my head that speaks in riddles (not to mention it repeatedly tells me to "save the world Max.") I can also control technology and can command electricity to do what ever the heck I want. Pretty cool huh?

About a year ago, the flock and I defeated the whitecoats and Erasers and destroyed they school. You must be thinking: "They're afraid of erasers? The tiny things on the ends of pencils!" Let me tell you, it's far from that type of Eraser. The Erasers I'm talking about are also mutants like us. Half human, half wolf, and they are all about wanting to see our throats be slit and have us left us in an alley to die. At the School, they were used as guards and killers. They can transform in to werewolf-like beasts complete with fur, muzzles, claws, fang and voices so smooth if they asked a normal human to jump off a cliff, they'd do it. The good thing about an Eraser is that they only live to be about 5 years old. By that time however, they look like full-grown adults. Now, 1 year later, they're back and more powerful and dangerous then ever. The Voice (that's what we call the voice in my head and no; I'm not a person with issues like that.) finally gave us some useful info: Enter the Dark Tournament of demons and train with a women called "Master Genkai" in Tokyo, Japan. Now, this is our story…

Good luck, watch your back, and welcome to our lives,
