Hey guys, its me(again). I just wanted to let you guys in on some important facts about this story.

1) Everything until Minimum/Expiremnt 6 turns 15 is up to date on Max's fourth book. Although The fifth is shortly coming, It does not exist.
2) Angel cannot, breathe under water or talk to fish, and shift-shape. She can only read minds and control them, move objects.
3) Gazzy is a complete shift-shaper and mimicry
4) There are at least 3 different plot lines, you'll find out later.
5) Love intrest and triangles are in later chapters that are slowly growing
6) Minimum is Maximum's Identical Twin Sister, as cliche as that sounds, its true.
7) Prepare for the Minimum Ride of the Maximum.
8) Thanks for reading.

Serenity.

After the human-avian Batchelder twins were born, the second of their kind, conjoined at the head, the scientists at the branch of Itex in Death Valley knew in that backs of their minds that they would be expired. Fighting to save the twins' lives, Jeb Batchelder made a deal with the Director of the Itex Corporation. If he and his colleagues, Dr. Ter Borcht and Dr. Black, could separate the twins successfully, the Director, Marian Janssen, could experiment on them as much as she wanted to.

Through the surgery Batchelder, Ter Borcht, and Black separated the twin girls successfully, but they realized that the slightly younger of the two had something wrong with her growth rate, compared to her identical sister. Though none of the scientists could solve the problem, she lived. The scientists separated the girls completely from any physical and verbal contact with each other. In doing so, they wanted to test the difference between the two children. Placing each girl in opposite rooms of the School, they were tested.

Three years later, the father of the twins walked through the halls of the School in the dead of night. He strode to the door that held a sign above it saying: TOP SECRET, KEEP OUT. He slid his identification key through the panel, opening the door to the laboratory. Jeb Batchelder walked through the door and into the room, his eyes skimming the cages that lined the walls. Each cage held an experiment. He walked past each cage, stopping at the very last one. It held a small, sleeping form. Reading the clipboard that held all the information for the experiment, Jeb smiled. He opened the cage and shook the experiment's leg. He reached out to grab his younger daughter from her containment.

"Batchelder!" interrupted a booming female voice from the hidden speaker, most likely the director of this Itex corporation branch. "This room is off-limits to you."

"Considering th-," Jeb began, but he shook his head, wondering if a smart-aleck response would get him fired or not. He decided to play it safe. "I'm her father, and she is going to go see her sister."

"Batchelder, if you take her to see anything more than that, all three of you will be expired. I have no qualms about killing." The voice sounded more threatening than before.

Jeb picked his daughter up and left the room quickly, walking down the hall he had just come from. A few left and right turns and they were soon in a room that could have been mistaken for a garage. There was a cement ceiling, non-insulated walls, and shelves covered in metal and plastic cages alike. Each cage held a different experiment. Most experiments died, of course. If they were strong, they lived, like these experiments. They were survivors.

And when the younger daughter saw her other half, she struggled out of Jeb's arms and ran to her. The girl in the cage turned her head slowly around to see what was practically her face reflected to her from outside of her cage. The two girls were identical. The girl in the cage gave her sister a blank stare and scooted back in her cage as far as possible. When their dad caught up to the twins, he introduced them as best as he could. Neither experiment had an official name, so he called them by what the clipboard said.

"Experiment Five, meet your sister, Experiment Six. Experiment Six, meet your sister, Experiment Five."

Each twin gave the other a blank stare; how were they supposed to react to this encounter? Jeb opened the cage, which was bigger than the younger twin's previous one. He helped her into the cage and shut the door. And then the twins watched him walk away.

"I big dan you," Experiment Five said, her face still expressionless.

"I know," her sister said. She was cheerful, for this cage was much bigger than her previous one. Experiment Six could actually stretch her legs out with room to spare.

Experiment Five smiled and spoke again. "'Cause I is way big dan you."

"I know." By now the younger sister had started to frown, wondering why her sister really was a few inches taller than her.

"No cry," Experiment Six said, "I no hurt you, you know." Her voice was sincere. Experiment Six nodded her head and reached for a hug that was accepted. The first hug the girls shared.

A few hours or so passed. The twins were sleeping in their cage, curled next to each other for warmth, when their dad finally came back. His face was full of sorrow.

"Let's get you into another room," he told his smaller daughter when he got close enough, waking the girls up abruptly with his loud footsteps. He unlocked the cage door and pulled his smaller daughter out of it, away from her sister. Experiment Five grabbed the hem of her sister's gown, holding her back. Experiment Six turned to meet her sister's eyes and attempted to brush her sister's fingers off her gown. Shaking her head, the older twin spoke with firmness.

"No."

"I gotta to."

Jeb yanked his younger daughter away from her sister one last time. He slammed the door to Experiment Five's cage loudly and locked it swiftly. He led Experiment Six out of the room, keeping a tight hold on her wrists as the walked through the halls of the laboratory. As they sped through the halls, Experiment Six peeked into a couple of rooms with open doors. One room was a medical room and a few scientists were crowded around a table, working slowly on an experiment's eyes. Another held a boy with dark hair who appeared to be fighting the human-lupine experiments while scientists took notes.

Eventually they came to a large room that was empty except for scientific equipment on a table in the middle of the room and a small cage.

Experiment Six grew up in that room, until she was about ten years old. Testing was the main thing that happened in the room. The so-called 'doctors' frequently drew blood from each arm and leg, and then placed sensors all over her forehead, chest, arms, and stomach. Then they usually proceeded with testing. Sometimes they placed her on a treadmill, running her for hours on end at 100mph. Sometimes it was a wind tunnel, which made her wings ache. It wasn't unusual for the scientists to test different drugs on her, and then give her the antidote before the true torture of the poison could take effect.

The only good part of her life was when her dad came. Jeb taught her gymnastics for about an hour a week. Jeb never did the moves, but he taught Experiment Six effectively. She learned how you could flip and then fly while fighting, all thanks to her father. He also taught her how to do the splits to duck, and hand springs to get out of the way quickly even though she was extremely fast at running. Cartwheels to kick, and flips to get ready to fly. Experiment Six personally thought of herself as a natural to flexibility.

When Experiment Six turned approximately ten years old, her life was flipped upside down. Her dad had made her a promise when she was five. A promise that he would get them out of there. A promise that Experiment Six would have to make come true by herself, because her father left her behind.
