AUTHOR'S NOTE- HEY GUYS, BACK AGAIN WITH ANOTHER CHAPTER FOR YA. I WANNA THANKS FOR ALL MY REVIEWS THAT I HAVE BEEN GETTING FROM:

*JANE *MAXFACTOR *TING *RINGO-GURL (THANKS FOR BEING LOYAL TO ALL OF MY *DARK ANGEL FANFICS!) *ACB *BRYNNMISSY *GIVEN ALIAS

THANKS ALL OF YOU FOR NOT ONLY REVIEWING BUT TAKING THE TIME TO READ MY STORY.

NOW JANE ASKED A QUESTION, A VERY GOOD QUESTION, ACUTALLY. THE QUESTION ASKED WAS IF PRYCE WAS A TRANSGENIC.

***THE ANSWER TO THAT IS NO, PRYCE IS NOT A TRANSGENIC. HE IS VERY HUMAN, ALWAYS HAS BEEN A HUMAN. NOW I BET A LOT OF YOU ARE WONDERING HOW CAN MAX OR OTHER TRANSGENICS GET BEAT UP BY THIS HUMAN, IF THEY ARE STRONGER THAN HUMANS.

***THE FACT IS THAT PRYCE HAS SPENT HIS ENTIRE LIFE AROUND TRANSGENICS, B/C HIS DAD WAS A SCIENTIST AT MANTICORE AND THAT GOT HIM INVOLVED IN THE WHOLE SECRET GOVERNMENT OP.

WHEN MAX WAS YOUNGER, HE STARTED TEACHING THEM FIGHTENING TECHNIQUES WHEN HE WAS 17, AND HE WAS 20 WHEN THE 11 ESCAPED. He IS NOW 29. BASICALLY HE KNOWS HOW TO HANDLE TRANSGENICS, HE KNOWS HOW THEY FIGHT B/C HE TAUGHT THEM, NOW MOST TIMES HE IS NOT AS STRONG AS THE TRANSGENICS ARE AND THAT'S WHEN HE USES OTHER THINGS LIKE OBJECTS. EVERY KID AT MANTICORE FEARED HIM B/C HE WAS BRUTAL, HE WAS SICK MINDED, AND HE SHOWED NO MERCY ON ANYONE. HE NEVER LOST A FIGHT TO TRASNGENICS, OR ANY TRANSGENIC. BEING AROUND TRANSGENICS HIS WHOLE LIFE AND WATCHING HOW THEY MOVE IS WHAT MAKES HIM STRONG. AND MAX IS TERRIFFIED OF HIM.

So everyone know who Jeremy Renner is!!!?? Please let me know if you want to know what he looks like, b/c I'll hook u up. He plays an AWESOME bad guy, that's why I picked him to be this character I made up.

HOPE THAT ANSWERED YOUR QUESTION AND TING.CAN'T TELL YA WHO THE CO IS, IT'LL RUIN THE SURPRISE;) ENJOY GUYS!!!!!! PLEASE R/R!!!!!!!! LOVE YA, NAT

Max sat up and looked at him trying as hard as humanly possible to not let the fear become noticeable in her eyes as she saw her enemy approach her. Max, wasn't hurt, she was scared, now this guy was no transgentic but he knew how to fight them and how to handle one. His boots clicked against the concrete and the chain that hung on his belt and pocket also rattled with every step he took. He stopped.

"Get up Max, let's see how rusty you are. Come on." He hissed at her cracking his knuckles.

"Go away, leave me alone, I'm not in Manticore ANY more!" Max shouted at him.

This only caused Pryce to laugh.

"But we miss you Max, Jondy, misses you" Pryce said with a raised eyebrow.

She felt as if someone punched her, she couldn't breath.

"You.have Jondy?" Max asked almost in tears.

"Uh huh." Pryce said.

"We also have Tinga and Zack." Pryce added.

"You're lying. Zack's to smart to get caught." Max said angrily.

Pryce busted out laughing.

"Smart! Please you poor naïve girl." Pryce said in disgust.

"Shut up!" Max yelled.

This made Pryce laugh harder.

"What you getting made Maxie? Come on, hit me." Pryce said walking up to her.

Max realized he was within reach and then swiped his feet out from underneath of him. Pryce, expecting that move, fell back first but instead of landing on his back, he put his hands down and did a back handspring and then a back roll, stopping on one knee. Pryce as fast as lightening grabbed a trash can lid and hurled it at Max like a Frisbee.

Max ducked and barely missed it as it whirled over her head. Pryce laughed evilly and breathlessly as he slowly stood up.

"You have to become familiar with your environment when you fight Max, know what's there to use and what's not." Pryce lectured walking back up to her.

Max kicked up her left leg, which Pryce caught. Frustrated Max threw a left hook but Pryce also caught it, having a hold of her left wrist and left leg.

"Ohh, watcha gonna do now Maxie?" He asked then before she could answer or react Pryce lifted her and threw her behind his head.

Max crashed into the brick wall back first and then crashed to the ground, Max groaned in pain. Pryce turned around just in time and caught her attempt kick to his head Pryce punched her hard in the face and allowed her leg to go free. Max spun around and kicked at his chest but Pryce did a back bend, causing her leg to go over him. Once Pryce estimated the time Max's leg hit the ground and he sent his feet in the air, kicking Max in the face and he did a walk over and came up standing his fists raised.

Max lunged at him throwing a right punch; Pryce ducked, stood up, and then ducked Max's left punch. Once Pryce stood back up, he caught another one of Max's punch and twisted her arm behind her back.

"Come on STOP TRYING TO HIT ME, AND HIT ME SOLIDER!" Pryce shouted at her then shoved her into a wall.

Max hit chest first into the wall, staying there for a moment.

"I can't do this." Max whimpered to herself.

Max slowly turned around and saw Pryce heaving, breathing hard sweat pouring down the side of his face. Pryce jumped as high as he could and spun around, leashing out his leg and kicking Max in the face.

Max recovered quickly and then raised her fists. Pryce performed a series of punches on her. One his last one she grabbed his arm and twisted it behind his back. Pryce groaned in pain. Max grinned.

"Ha, beat that!" Max said in triumph.

Pryce chuckled then jumped up and flipped backward over her head. While in the air he grabbed her wrists and landed behind her now having her arms twisted behind her back. Max closed her eyes tightly in pain as Pryce then swiped her feet out from underneath of her and she landed chest first on the ground. Exhausted she didn't move.

"Max, you haven't changed, same moves." Pryce said making it obvious his breathing has quickened and he was out of breath as he grabbed and a large sheet of wood.

Max groaned a little 'shut up' causing Pryce to smile.

Suddenly he turned around and held the wood up just in time for Krit's punch. Krits fist went through the wood. Krit's mouth dropped in shock, and pain, nothing came out as his now bloody and maybe even broken hand shook in shock.

"Kit." Pryce said grinning evilly and the tuned the wood, causing his wrist to turn.

This time Krit groaned in pain.

"There we go, thought you weren't that strong." Pryce said then kicked him in the side and allowed him to fall to the ground.

Pryce shook his head in sympathy then he turned to Max who was struggling to get up. Pryce walked up to her and flipped her on her back with his foot. He stepped his right leg over her so that she was lying between his legs, and Pryce squatted down and grabbed her chin, forcing her to get up.

Max grabbed his hand but stood up none the less. Pryce was still breathing hard as he pulled her face closer to his suddenly he jabbed a needle into her. Max felt gasped in pain and when Pryce let go of her, her limb body fell to the ground.

"Max!" Krit called out clutching his wrist.

"You know I could use this advantage in so many way. But I can't." Pryce said sadly as he threw the empty needle to the side and wiping the sweat off his face.

"If you touch her, I'll-"

"You'll what? Fight me?" Pryce asked walking up to him squatting down in front of him.

Krit glared at him then looked at Max who was unconscious. Suddenly a car door slamming made them both look to the right.

"Oh no." Krit said in disgust seeing a man in a trenchcoat coming his way.

"Oh yea, pay day." Pryce said standing up.

"Good work Pryce." Ames said once they got close.

"No problem." Pryce said.

Krit looked to the left and grinned as Pryce and Ames continued to talk.

"Where is she?" Ames asked.

Pryce turned.

"Right...here." Pryce said fading off, Max's body wasn't there.

"What the hell." Pryce said in rage.

Ames glared at Krit.

"Where is she son?" Ames asked. Krit only smiled.

"I can't remember." Krit lied.

Ames clenched his teeth together and backhanded him.

"Get him up, your going back to Manticore!" Ames hissed at Krit as

Pryce forced him up. Ames took him and shoved him down the alley into a large SUV. Pryce glared up at the rooftops.

"PRYCE!" Ames called out telling him to come on and get in the car. Pryce smiled.

"I'll get you, you gotta fall sooner of later sweetheart." Pryce whispered evilly and then turned and ran up to the car and jumped in.

Alec had one of her arms around his neck and he had a hold of her waist, supporting her and he climbed up rooftops and over beams. Alec breathed hardly and gave sturggling faces as he pulled Max along with his own body weight.

He looked around, and laid Max on the ground. He ripped his leather jacket off his shoulders and covered her up.

Alec's spiked hair made him look young but his worried and serious face made him look mean. Alec wore blue jeans and a red T-shirt. He stood up and looked down at the road. He sighed and sat down, pulling his knees up to his chest as he looked at Max he sighed.

Now what?
