Alec and Max stood outside the brand new Manticore building. They looked
up at its tall walls. White stood between them. "isn't it beautiful?" he
asked placing his hands on the back of their neck, clutching it.
Max and Alec was changed into their uniforms, same camouflage pants as the old Manticore but the shirts were navy blue. On the right of their chest it had their series, their designation number and 'Manticore property' on it. Once they had their uniforms on White escorted them the X5 section and threw them in their cells. Once Ames left Alec looked around, sighed, then laid down on the hard bed. "well, this isn't too bad." Alec said to Max, later Ames walked in and yanked Alec to his feet. "Get up, you have 21 hours of fighting training no! get up!" he said yanking Max up too. "In a row! No breaks! That's insane!" Alec replied. "Righto." Ames replied then slammed his head against a wall. "No get your butts out there now!" Ames shouted then went to yanks all the other X5 up. Max ran next to Alec. "Alec, are you ok?" she asked. "Too bad that didn't kill me." He replied then allowed Max to help him up.
"Do you think we need to do.. the test?" McCormick asked Ames as they watched the transgenics fight. "No, we aren't threatened by any of them." Ames answered. "It's the opinion of the conclave that you prove it Ames." She replied then looked at him. He looked at her one eyebrow arched. "Alright then, follow me." He replied then led her to the field. Ames and McCormick walked past pair of X5s that were frightening each other viciously. They walked up to Max and Alec and he grabbed Alec and pulled him close to him. "This is 494, the best fighting transgenic Manticore created." Ames informed McCormick, who nodded. Ames let him go and pushed Max out of the way.
"Get out of the way 452." He replied. Alec, sweat running down his face, looked at Ames take a defensive stand. Getting the hit Alec raised his fists. Suddenly Ames spun around very fast and kicked Alec, Alec caught his leg and flipped him on his back. Ames immediately jumped to his feet, while he was doing that Alec flipped over his head and kicked him hardly. Ames and Alec fought hard, most of their punches and kicks made contact but they just shook it off. Alec then jumped on an air conditioner then jumped down grabbing Ames throat and pinning him down.
McCormick's mouth dropped and Alec's body felt like it was on fire, he was so hot. Soon White kicked him off. Alec, knowing he had won just lay there. He was too hot wet and tired to move. Ames stood up and moved his finger to Max, signaling she was next.
Max's body burned and ached as did Alec's. "You know max, when they said they were sending us to special training I didn't know we would be chained to the wall, unable to defend ourselves." Alec replied. Max grinned. "Alec, this hurts so bad. We have to get out of her. I thought I could take it but I can't!" Max replied leaning her head against the cold metal of the bars. "It's not our fault if we were created in a lab, they don't have the authority to do this to us." Max replied breaking out in tears. This was the first time Alec has seen Max so emotional.
"Max, you wanna break out?" Alec asked. Max looked at him, her eyes glossy and tears running down her cheeks. "Alec we can't security has improved since the last time we did this." Max replied. "The old Max never worried about that." Alec replied grinning. Max looked back at him and grinned. "Ok." She said. "Now it would help if we could get out." Alec told himself. Suddenly they heard shoes clicking on the ground. They saw a young woman walking down the hall. Alec gave Max a smile.
"Excuse me." Alec replied once the blonde woman walked past his cell. She stopped and looked at him. "Hi there." He said standing up. Max cocked an eyebrow up. "You're a very attractive woman you know that." He lied. The woman smiled and blushed. "Oh your too sweet and handsome to be a transgenic." She said. "Look, Ames white hates my guts and I have a feeling he is going to literally kill me in a couple hours. So could I PLEASE kiss a girl one last time?" he asked. She closed her eyes and he touched his lips with hers. Alec slipped the keys off her belt and threw them to max.
After he did this he moved the same hand to the side of her face to make it unobvious. She smiled once he gently pulled away then continued to walk down the hall. "Hey, that wasn't half bad." Alec replied smiling. Max rolled her eyes and unlocked her cell then unlocked Alec's. Alec looked both ways. "Come on." He replied. Max and Alec snuck through dark hallways. Suddenly someone gripped Alec's mouth and yanked him in the room, a bright room. "How sweet, you broke out to see me." Someone replied. Alec's eyes widened as he slowly turned around to face a blonde girl. "umm." Alec began Suddenly the girl grabbed him and started kissing him. Max's cell phone suddenly rang. "Max?" she whispered. "Max, I need your help. This..very nice woman pulled me in the lab room." Alec relied while she kissed his neck. "See, you should have never French kissed her." Max scolded as she turned around and headed back. "well hey that kiss got you out and- Max don't come back here!" Alec said. Max stopped. "Wait, what!?'' she asked. "Don't come back here, someone's coming. Meet me in front of the wall." Alec instructed. "You sure?" Max asked. "Very!" Alec said. "Ok, be-" "Careful, I know." Alec finished her sentence. They both hung up and Max took off.
Alec looked around then grabbed her handcuffs and slapped one on his wrist.. The girl giggled as she helped him fasten them behind his back. Alec rolled his eyes at her pervert ness and he thought he had problems. Alec sank to his knees and managed to lie on his back. He wanted to make it look like she took him out oh his cell. She smiled, got on her knees and started kissing him, suddenly the door swung open. Out of the corner of his eye he saw Ames, with his eyebrow raised.
Alec couldn't help it, it was such a funny site, but he dared not laugh. The woman looked at White. "Um, Mr. White, I can explain, I was.. Uh." "You were what? Collecting DNA samples in your mouth?" White yelled walking over to her, grabbing her chin and yanking her up. Alec had to force himself not to smile as he watch Ames yell at her. After he was done he pushed her into a guard who escorted her out. White then grabbed Alec by the hair and pulled him up. "Let's go 494." He replied leading him back to his cell. Once they got there Ames shoved him up against the bars. "Where is she!? Where's 452!?" White yelled. "In her cell, where else!?" Alec yelled back. "You knew she was going to escape!" White accused. "HEY! I didn't plan on that bag to come in and stick her tongue down my throat. Max is scared to death of you and so am." Alec stopped. Ames spun him around so he was facing him. "And so aren't.you?" Ames asked finishing his sentence. Alec looked down at his feet. Very slowly a smile stretched across his face ''Good, glad to know I am for filling my job." Ames replied.
"Follow me." Ames replied. "Where are we going?" Alec asked nervously. Ames laughed, he knew Alec was nervous. White escorted Alec to a room and shoved him in a chair. "Ok 494 I demand, no I order you to tell me where my son is. As a solider you have to follow orders." White replied. Alec looked White in the eyes. "Ames, I might be a solider, but I don't know where Ray is. I have no clue where Max. 452 hid him." He replied honestly. White jabbed a stun gun in his side. Alec's mouth dropped but nothing came out. "That's the wrong answer, I happen to know that you and 452 are very close, I'm sure you know where he is." White snapped.
"LOOK! Max or I didn't hid him, Max just took him for god's sake!" Alec shouted. "Don't you mean 452?" White asked. "Oh screw designation numbers, we're humans too! We aren't property of you or anyone! It's kinda like slavery and that's illegal!" Alec replied. "And that's why the Manticore project was under wraps. That is until your buddy max got loose and sent you guys loose too." Ames replied. "Don't you mean 452?" he asked mocking him. Suddenly max jumped down from the glass roof, glass shattering everywhere. "Hey! That's my friend your messing with!'' Max warned. "You my friend, are in a lot of trouble." Ames warned Max. "I destroyed the first Manticore and I'll destroy this one. Just give it up Ames." Max said. "No, all transgenics were ment to be here!" Ames replied letting go of Alec's throat. Max raised her fists White only grinned.
Suddenly Alec kicked Ames hard in the back and grabbed Max's wrist and took off running. They ran out of Manticore onto the training field, sirens going off like crazy. "Go left I'll go right, try and find the shortest wall to jump over." Alec said. "No matter what we jump over together!" Max added. Alec shook his head yes then they took off in different directions.
Max ran across the grass, looking up at the walls. Suddenly something punched her down. "452, allow me to introduce someone" Ames replied. Max looked at the man, "Alec!" she screeched. "Alec? Hum.. try again." He replied. Max gasped. "Ben!" she shouted in shock. "The one and only." He replied smiling evilly.
Max and Alec was changed into their uniforms, same camouflage pants as the old Manticore but the shirts were navy blue. On the right of their chest it had their series, their designation number and 'Manticore property' on it.
