AYYY Guys wassup! I can't believe that it's been more than 30 chapters WHATTT.
I'm trying to bring more Max into the story because there of course has to be Maximum Ride soooo I'm trying to put more of her perspective into this. Also, I have a plan for this story and I kind of know where and when it's going to end but writing stories on Fanfiction is surprisingly really fun so I'm thinking of general plots for my next story. I originally started this because 1) really can't stand wingless fics and 2) I kept envisioning scenarios for the flock and I decided to write them out. (And I also didn't expect people to actually READ this much less have a bunch of reviews) SO, for my next fic, send me what you guys want to read about... I'm thinking maybe a spin off from this, and it'll be about Mai's life, Ember's life, or anything really. I'll seriously do anything if I like it ;)
ANYWAY, Enjoy this chapter and REVIEW to send me suggestions for my next story!
(Suggestions and ideas can be about a character from this fic, or a completley new idea! I'm literally up for anything.)

P.S: Random thought - The chapter name is White Hawk Down (You'll understand at the end of the chapter) but the name came from the book which was later made into a movie, called Black Hawk Down. I'm not one for intense violence but this book was SO good! It's a true-story of the war in Somalia and the United Nations and if you aren't a book person (which I assume you are considering we're on fanfiction lol), then you can watch the movie.
Also praying to any countries that are a target of terrorism. There's a lot of violence in this world right now and it's probably not going to get any better anytime soon. Stay safe!

Chapter 31: White Hawk Down
MAI P.O.V
I slowly blinked. My dark eyelashes were in my peripheral view as I squinted. God I hate this bright light so much. I closed my eyes again, finding comfort in the dark. It must be night if I woke up. The nighttime is when I can mostly be active so I'm usually awake all night. There were muffled voices outside my door. I moved closer to it and put my ear against the cool metal.
"I told you, she's useless. She won't cooperate with us!"
"I give the orders around here. We are NOT killing her. She's a fine specimen and she is very, very smart… and very, very dangerous. Believe me."
"Then what about moving her into a more isolated area?"
"That is an idea that I have thought about and have already acted upon. She going to be moved tomorrow. There's a small island off the coast of Southern California that is sole property of Omega. There was only one other hybrid that has lived there."
"You mean Specimen 2456?"
"Yes. She was a wreck when she got there. Disobedient, vulgar, violent and uncontrollable."
"Now?"
"Now, she is completely in control, listens well. She may not be as powerful as Mai but she gets the job done."
"Hm. Then I assume Mai will become better if we send her there."
"Positive." I heard feet shuffling away. "Send me those reports as soon as possible. We'll need to get everything prepared."
"Yes, Dr. Batchelder."
I gasped and backed away into my corner. It was that bastard Jeb. He was the cause of me becoming catatonic. I wanted to tear him apart, limb by limb. I told myself to breathe. There were bigger problems in the world. I took a breath.
Neona! Where are you? They're moving me into isolation tomorrow…you have to get here quickly.
I prayed that she got the message. It only works through these walls sometimes.
'We're coming! We'll be there today!'
I sighed in relief. They were coming. I would be free. Finally.

MAX P.O.V
"Max!" Neona looked at me with big, blue eyes. "We have to go now! Mai said they're moving her to isolation tomorrow!"
"Okay. Don't worry. We're leaving soon. We have to go over the plan once more to make sure that nothing goes wrong." I stroked her hair and told her to go to the other kids.
I faced my flock. "Okay here's what we're going to do. There's six of us and three kids. Sadly, yet thankfully, it seems like the school has forgotten about us original flock. The kids are running the show now. They're the ones tortured and caged, they are the ones who break in and out and they are the heroes now."
Gazzy looked skeptical. "Do you think they really forgot about us?"
"Of course they didn't forget us." Iggy ran his fingers through his hair as he spoke. "They're just temporarily ignoring us."
"They know where we are and what we're doing but they're priority is on something else. They have something else in mind. Something bigger than all of this." Angel mentioned around her as she spoke.
"Okay enough talk." Everyone gave a surprised look at Nudge.
"Whattttt?" Gazzy looked pretended to look confused. "Did that just come out of your mouth?"
"Oh shut up." Nudge rolled her eyes. "So Iggy and I drew up a plan on how we're getting inside." She rolled out a sheet of paper with a birds eye view of the Omega building.
"So how are we getting in?" Neona asked me.
I pointed to the back of the building on the paper. "This is the back of the building. There's a vent that's big enough for us to crawl through one by one. We'll get around the building through the vents."
"There's security camera's all over the hallways and there's erasers patrolling the halls. We're trying to avoid fighting as much as possible." Nudge explained.
"The vents lead to a training room where they train mutants to fight. From there, we'll have to be very careful and any eraser that we see, we'll have to kill." Gazzy said casually and Phoenix's eyes became wide.
"But don't worry." Iggy laughed nervously. "It'll be fine." He patted her head. "Once we're out of that room, we'll have to search until we find where Mai is being held."
I looked at everyone's nervous faces. "Got it?"
Everyone nodded. "Okay let's go!"
I led everyone to the electric fence that blocked trespassers. I threw a branch at the fence and emitted sparks as it fell.
"Well the fence works." Fang said.
"Obviously." I retorted. "Nudge, do your thing."
Nudge put her hands near the fence and closed her eyes. She followed the fence along the building until she got to a pole. She dug into the ground and used her power to break the metal, stopping the flow of electricity. She jumped up and touched the fence. "Let's go."
We climbed over the fence and dropped down. We ran to the vent. Fang unscrewed it and put the sheet against the brick wall.
"Wait." Angel stopped me and froze. "I hear someone coming."
I got into a fighting stance, ready for whoever I'd have to beat up. I heard footsteps coming around the corner. Before I could even see who it was, I grabbed their wrist, flipping them onto their back. I kicked them in stomach and wrapped my fingers around his neck waiting until he took his last breath. I would have just snapped his neck but he might have screamed and created noise.
Without hesitation, I mentioned everyone to follow me into the vent. Fang fixed the plate back. We could hear conversations coming from different rooms. Whitecoats. I remembered the pathway to the training room and kept crawling forward. Soon, we were in the training room. There was no one here.
I turned to the flock and whispered. "Lets find the room. If we get lost, you know where to meet up." We spilled into the hallway, hiding behind corners. Occasionally, we came across an eraser and we'd have to kill them but for the most part, this area was completely empty. I held my breath and waited until a whitecoat passed us. I looked back at the flock.
"Wait, where's Nudge?" There were only 8 of us.
Gazzy looked behind him. "She was just here a second ago!"
"Did they take her?" I started to get worried. I told myself not to panic. "Lets keep going. Keep an eye out for Nudge."

NUDGE P.O.V
I was standing in a room. The control room. I was looking at screens and monitors that showed everything. Literally everything. I was following the flock when I saw this room. The key to destroying everything was in here. And I was alone. I looked through papers and files. My eyes got wider and wider as I learned new information.
"So this is what they want to do. This is not happening againnn." I inwardly whined.
I saw files with our names, Phoenix and Neona's name. They've been tracking us this whole time.
Okay. This is what you prepared for.
I took the tracker that I made out of my backpack. I opened the hard drive of the computer and replaced it with the chip I made. I found the primary database and changed the original code of the program.
Suddenly, I heard screaming. I looked at the monitors. I saw the flock in a room filled with lights. They were fighting erasers. When I looked closer, there was a girl in the corner observing everything. That must be Mai. Tall, tanned skin, long dark wavy hair and green-yellow eyes that were somewhat cat shaped.
I looked for the blueprints and ran towards the room. As soon as I got there, an eraser took a swipe at me. I blocked his fist and elbowed him in the face. I roundhouse kicked him and he fell backwards.
Mai was yelling something at me. "Flip the switch!"
I looked around. There was a switch right outside the room. I ran towards it but staggered backwards as the Eraser blocked me. I cupped my hands and slapped them against its ears as it howled in pain, his eardrums exploding from the pressure.
It all happened so fast. Too fast. I lunged forward and flipped the switch. But the eraser that I hurt lept at Mai who was on the floor. As I flipped the switch, the lights became dim and Mai stood up.
"Mai, watch out!" Neona jumped in front of Mai just as the eraser swiped at her. The eraser clawed Neona and she fell backwards onto the hard tile floor with a look of defeat in her eyes.
All that was left was black smoke where Mai was.
