A/N: Hmm…three votes for Max, two votes for no Max…need more reviews before I can decide… Here's the sixth chapter…I hope you enjoy it!!! If you're interested, the scientist named her those digits for a reason…but I won't tell you till the time is right…which will be…later…
Zaz: I don't know why my mind was thinking ten…maybe I like that number better…I went to check and found it to be twelve…I knew that…I think…Anyway, I changed the little error…you notice everything, don't you :) Thanks for pointing out a mistake, for the second time…I appreciate your reviews! :)
***Updates will occur less and less now because I just started school not long ago…I'll try to update as often as possible, but schoolwork may get in the way. I will continue this story whenever I have time, even if it isn't till thanksgiving or something (hopefully not). Thanks for reviewing…it meant a lot to me! Please continue to look ofr updates. ***
Chapter 6: Young Max
X5-452 began her training as soon as she reached the age of two. To me, that was really early, but then again, all X5s began their training that early…
Since I was the one who created her, Sandman allowed me [and only me :)] to help him with her 'special' training. I say special because every now and then, he would take her away from the group of X5s and teach her something of his own. Help him was what he said I would do, but far from what I did. I had no idea what he was doing. He didn't ask for much help anyway so I didn't bother him much about it. I just sat around, watching, trying to understand.
He would speak in some ancient language…like I would understand. 452; however, had no trouble, whatsoever, understanding it. She would even respond to him in the same language!!! It really surprised me! I assumed that it must have been something in her genetic code…but what? Maybe it was the traits she had, or it could have been the…nah…not possible. I began to try and figure out the answer, but still couldn't get anywhere. I know all the traits so why can't I figure it out? I guess there are still some mysteries in genetics that are yet to be discovered…
Eventually, it got to a point where it drove me crazy just thinking about it so I just simply asked Sandman. He didn't say much. Just this: "You will know when it is time…and when it is time…you will be the one to assist her and lead her through her destiny…"
I was clueless. Like I know what that means! I didn't dare ask him more, though. I had a feeling he wouldn't tell me anymore anyway. It wasn't till years later that I understood what he meant…
X5-452, later named Max within her unit, did well on all the exercises they threw at her. I was impressed. She was also one of the best soldiers there. Maybe having no junk DNA is a very big plus! By the time she was four, she was one of the few already studying Algebra. Impressive, huh?
Sandman continuously taught her till the age of five, which was when he left. No one knows why he left; he just did. That's when Lydecker took over the whole operation. I was assigned a new department: psy-ops. I was relieved! I didn't want to make anymore soldiers…it was just so sad to see a 'mother' willingly give up their child for experimental purposes. I believe after the trouble they had with Max's mother they were more careful with who they picked to hold the young soldier. I must have forgotten to mention that after my accomplishments with creating Max, I was well respected, just as I wanted, but it wasn't noticeable till I was transferred to psy-ops. Everyone there greeted me. Somehow, they all knew my name. I guess Kim has a big mouth.
In psy-ops, I was able to gain a better insight on what Max thought, along with other soldiers, but they allowed me to perform more tests on Max (just because I made her. Because of this; however, none of the other scientists knew of her 'no junk DNA' ordeal). So I was able to learn more about her. It was then that I learned something I never would have guessed…
***Does it make any sense? I still need to know what people think about Max in this story besides those who have already posted their opinion! Hurry! I must know before I can update more! ***
***Thanks for reviewing!!!***
