This is a sequel, so if you haven't read my story Old and New Collide yet, then please it before reading this because otherwise some of what is in here won't make sense. If you are a reader that has read it or are one of my original readers from when I first wrote Old and New Collide, then read on and enjoy!

Chapter One: Introduction

Hi. My name is Max. No, I'm not the Max you all are probably thinking about, thought I have met her and her Flock. I'm twenty-one, unlike her because she's fifteen. I lead a Flock too. Mine is my eighteen-year-old brother Matthew, our nineteen-year-old blind boy Icarus (Ic), the thirteen-year-old twins Wendy and Peter, and my own ten-year-old twins Ozymandias (Ozy) and Frances Jane (Frannie).

We are exactly like the younger Flock; created by the School, tortured by the School, want Itex gone, and we have wings too. The only big difference is that only my two kids, Ozy and Frannie, have powers; the rest of us don't.

My Flock and I are in Australia, taking out branches of Itex here while Max and her Flock destroy North American branches. We separated three months ago and haven't talked since, which is a good thing because it means none of us are in trouble. I don't know how they are doing because of that, but my Flock and I have taken out thirteen branches of Itex since we got to Australia.

We have a map of the world with every branch of Itex on it and it shows only twenty-three branches of Itex in Australia and New Zealand combined. Only five are on New Zealand so we only have five more to go here in Australia.

After those ten we are going to Asia while the other Flock goes to South America, and both only have three branches each. Then we will meet up in Europe to finish Itex for good. That is… unless something happens and our Flocks need to combine again, but that's only in an emergency. We want this to go without any problems.

I'm brought back to reality with Matthew asking me, "Max? It's getting late. I think it's time to call it a day and find a place to stay and refresh our food supply."

I look over at my brother and nod before looking towards the ground again for a place to stay. I see a town to our west a little and point it out to everyone. We head in that direction for five minutes before we dive down, land, and tuck in our wings.

We find the nearest hotel and check in before going out to the supermarket and restocking our backpacks with food and medical things. Icarus and Matthew also grab supplies to make bombs, as Iggy and Gazzy had taught them back in America.

We go back to the hotel, eat dinner in the restaurant, and go to bed. I thought we would be able to sleep in our two rooms in peace, but Itex has a different plan. I hear a scream from next door which makes me bolt out of bed and grab all of the backpacks. I see Frannie and Wendy have jumped out of bed too.

We go next door and open the door with the spare keycard I have, walking right into a trap. The boys are all being held by Erasers from behind. Just as we move to help them, Erasers grab us as well. Suddenly, I feel a sharp prick before I'm knocked unconscious.

The last thing I saw was all of my Flock being knocked unconscious as well…

I'm sorry those of you who want the next chapter soon. I have midterms coming up in two classes just after winter break ends, andI really have to study. These courses and grades count for high school, so I don't want bad grades on them really. Now, I'm telling you now that my annoying brain here might get busy and make me write during the last couple of weeks of the quarter, so when midterms are over and I'm posting again, I'll probably have 5 or 6 chapters finished against my will. Please be patient and you'll be rewarded.

Now... Please Review and tell me what you think of the Intro to this sequel. Just like in my last story, ANYONE can Review, so Please Review by clicking the button below. Thanks!
