Even if only one person reads this I will still go on sooooo enjoy my audience of two big smile

Disclaimer I don't own this…..or at least the people you know


The transgenic who walked in was huge very well built (imagine the Rock) with black hair and piercing green eyes. He's lips formed a thin emotionless line as he stood there. He wore a standard uniform cam loge with black boots. After entering he placed his hand behind his back in the position of parade rest (oh yeah I'm in Jrotc so I know a lot of Military terms so if you don't know what I'm talking about ask me and I'll describe better). He stood so stiff that Max thaught he might be made out of cardboard.

"452 this is 603 he will be your sparing partner from now on" The general turned toward 603 "452 is an 09er she has missed 10 years so don't hold back I wanna know what she's got"

The X-5 gave a sharp nod and then looked toward Max again with an emotionless stare.

"I need to go get your old record while I'm gone don't do anything" he turned away and started out the door he mumbled under his breath "I don't want the excuse that you were worn out"

After the door closed Max looked at the X-5 in front of her. Slowly she circulated him out of curiosity Damn that feline DNA Ever step she took she could hear the X-5 take in a breath as if he was counting where she was..

"Do you need to do that?" His voice came out very strong and startled Max a little not enough to show it. His voice reminded her of Zach. Strong and very in control

"Maybe" Max gave a sarcastic tone "Do you have to pretend to be a statue?" She was on the side of him now and look at his profile.

"No but I do have to be a good a solider" He spoke with his head and eyes still facing forward. A little tone of sarcasm slipped into his voice "What have you lost your edge 452 can you not do it anymore?"

Max raised an eyebrow and gave a small smirk "Of course I still have my edge"

"Sure" His sarcasm got worse with every word "Whatever helps you sleep at night" Max stepped until she was standing in front of him. Planting her feet she looked straight at him and went to the position of attention. Both stood there motionless Max stood still and stiff as if she was frozen in time. 603 did the same the only change he had was in his eyes slowly amusement slipped into them.

The door opened and neither moved each had their eyes fixed on each other sizing the other up.

"All right now I that have your information "The general spoke while still looking at his clip board "we can get started. I want both of you to take fighting stance over there" he waved a hand absently toward a mat "and start when I tell you to"

In one sharp movement Max moved to the mat and waited for 603. Sensing the challenge in her movement he made an even sharper turn toward the mat. Taking position he looked toward her and they both waited for the signal to fight.

"Neither of you are to hold anything back I want to know exactly what you can handle" Looking toward them he spoke again "Go"

Max stood still for a moment not moving watching 603's movements. He gave no indication of moving and Max leaned over toward the left. In one swift move he got her in the side his left foot lifting up. Max doubled over a little but quickly recovered only to have him punch her in her right side. Max ducked and moved but each punch he made hit. Max threw a punch and 603 grabbed her arm and pulled it behind her forcing her onto the ground.

"Come on 452 get angry" he spoke so only she could hear and then pushed he back toward the ground. Max quickly rolled over and popped up. Going at it again some of his punches missed as she swerved back and forth. Max tried to kick him but he grabbed her leg and flipped her over again

"What is wrong with you? Get back in the game" Max took her other leg and kicked him at his shoulder blade making him let her leg go. She flipped around and went back to defense. She felt like she was pinned in a corner she could hit him but if she kept dodging he was sooner or later going to hit her. Max threw her arm out again and he moved to the side pushing her over his foot

"What's wrong 452 bad heart?" He spoke quitly but the words burned in her ears. In anger she went after him punching and kicking him finally she got him on his back and the general spoke

"That's enough for right now. You need to able to work tomorrow they are bringing in your real trainer" He scribbled some things down and then started to walk away "603 go to your usual training" The general left the room and closed the door.

603 looked toward Max as he wiped some blood from his cut lip " It's about time."

"What" Max voice came forceful as she looked at him

"See you tomorrow 452" with that 603 left the room leaving Max dumbfounded


Max was walking back toward her company hall when Brin walked up toward her "Renfro told me to inform you that you need to report to intellegince"

Max gave a nod but showed no warmth toward her sister. She wasn't sure why but her inconter with 603 reminded her of what happened to Tinga and Zach. It wouldn't have happened if Brin had been on the right side

"It's in room 12" Brin's eyes showed a look of hurt but it quickly passed. She turned and walked back to the hallway. Max turned around and headed toward intellegince.


When Max got there Renfro was speaking to X-5 from the chair, but she quickly looked toward Max

"Ah 452 sit I have some questions for you." Max walked over to the chair behind a table and sat down. The other X-5 walked out of the room not even looking atMax, Renfro stood up and walked toward Max's chair. She threw an open folder onto the desk and looked at her.

"What does this mean to you?" Max glanced down at the folder and saw it contained all the genetic information from her first time at Manticore and the one health exam they had just given her.

"I'm as healthy as a horse?" Max gave a sarcastic remark

"I see" Renfro stood up and walked toward a window on the side. She turned the blinds so that you could inside. Behind the window was a young version of Max. Her face was covered in whelps she had tubles and needles hooked up to her arms. Max felt a small pang for the young transgenic.

"She's dieing" Renfro stated it as if it she was telling Max that her shirt was blue. "This should be genetic but you are walking and talking health as a horse as you might say" Renfro looked at the girl laying on the bed. Her eyes were heavy and it seemed like she couldn't keep them completely open. Her breathing was shallow and Max could hear it through the window. "So 452 what about you is different from her" Renfro pointed toward the window as she came closer to Max.

Max felt tears building in her eyes. How am I supposed to this? Max asked herself as she looked at the girl on the table.

"You are the only one of your kind that has never shown any signs of this….So tell me your secret 452 what did you do out there that we didn't in here"

I should be able to do this Max tried to pry her eyes away from the dieing young girl but they were glued there as if she was laying in the bed. I've killedpeople before I should be able to look a dieing girl. Max suddenly heard 603's voice in her head Get back in the game

"What can I say I ate my vegetable" Max let the comment roll out of her mouth as she wrenched her gaze away from her dieing younger twin.

Renfro leaned in and spoke softly "Whatever it is about you we will find it have no doubt about that" Renfro got up and went to the door opening she spoke again "Dismissed"

Max got up and walked out. As she walked down the hall her mind wondered to 603 how did he know I would need that? And why would he help me? Max shook her head to erase the thought He wasn't helping you he was gouding you. Max came into the hallway and walked to her room. Opening the door she went inside and sat on her bed. Closing her eyes she leaned her head on the wall as images of loved ones dead flowed threw her mind.


Not to long but I had a special title for the next chapter and writing more would ruin it… sooo you must wait till when ever I write probably in two days

And I have a question for everyone reading who do you want Max with

Logan, Alec , Zach, 789 or 603? Hummm who knows I might actually put it in there
