I groaned in pain as I rolled over onto my back. Wait, how am I on the ground, what was that light, where am I? Hundreds of thoughts ran through my mind as I blinked open my eyes and attempted to sit up. I failed. Once my eyes were fully open I took in my surroundings, I was back in a lab. That much was clear.

It was a cell just like the one I used to be in when I was last here but this time it was bigger as it had to hold eight bird kids. Max was sitting up leaning against the wall opposite to me while rubbing her temples in frustration; Fang was sitting next to her looking worried as he whispered things I couldn't hear but had a feeling were personal so I gave them some privacy.

I sat up slowly using the wall as a lever to pull myself up, they turned to look at me just as Jake groaned and sat up as well. The rest of the flock were lying peacefully on the ground asleep. I was weak but I felt stronger for some odd reason. I practically jumped on Jake and hugged him hard as he sat there shocked for a few moments; his arms encircled my waist and pulled me closer to him as I buried my head in the crook of his neck. His face was buried in my hair.

Suddenly a pair of small arms encircled Jake and I then another and another until it was all of the flock, even Fang was but that's just because Max had pulled him in. I laughed happily as Jake looked at all of the people around us confused.

"This is Max, Fang, Iggy, Nudge, Gazzy and Angel," I introduced them to Jake, "and this Jake guys."

"So this is the famous Jake." Max said laughing at how I couldn't stop smiling and how I had finally stopped hugging him but refused to let go of his hand.

"Jacob," He corrected as he smiled slightly at them, "Only Ally calls me Jake."

"What happened? I mean did you see that whole explosion of light that happened? It was so cool, maybe the school did it or maybe-"

Nudge was cut off from her rambling by Iggy's hand which she bit and caused him to jump and start swearing like a sailor which in turn caused Max to glare and hit him over the back of the head. We all started laughing at that, even Fang chuckled slightly.

I was so happy I thought it might actually be possible to explode from it until of course I remembered where we were and feeling frustrated I let out a sigh of anger.

Are you okay Al?

Jakes thoughts drifted to me, I gave a slight nod that no one but him would notice to tell him yes.

"We do need to find out what happened though."

Max voiced her opinion and everyone turned to listen to her. My ankle was starting to ache so I looked down worriedly as the flock started voicing explanations. A small black tattoo was situated on the inside of my right ankle; it was a lightening bolt with a storm cloud. I gasped at the sight putting a hand to my mouth. The flock gathered round to see my ankle.

"When did you get a tattoo?" Gazzy asked innocently with a confused face.

"I-I don't know, it's just there."

I stuttered as I peered at it. I tried to get rid of it through shape shifting but it just came back again and again and again. When they say tattoos are permanent they mean it.

"I have one too!" I turned to look at Angel's ankle and sure enough there was a small black tattoo but this time it was a circle with a crescent moon and what looked like waves. The rest of us checked to see if they had one. Gazzy had a circle with a swirl in it, Nudge had a square with a big circle in it and a small square in the middle of the big circle, Iggy had a picture of fire but Max and Fang had the same one, it was the Zen sign.

"Do you have one Jacob?" Max asked as she saw him staring at his ankle, confusion covering face.

"Yes."

I never wanted to not hear his voice for more then a day ever again. He showed us the tattoo, it had a lot of circles and some squares but it didn't really look like anything I'd seen before.

Suddenly footsteps sounded outside the rubber door, yes rubber, because of my power they make everything covered in rubber so I can't just blow a hole in the wall or door. The door opened silently and in came a man I had seen a lot before, Mr Toad. His green skin shimmered in the pale light.

"Good to see you Ribbit, I see you've got rid of your eye patch. The black eye I gave you healed then."

He glared at me before opening his mouth to speak, "My name is Mr Toad and I am here to explain the small tattoos on your ankles."

"Well hop to it buddy, we don't have all day."

Sometimes I just crack myself up. He ignored my joke and kept talking which I found very rude I mean he could have at least said a snide comeback to me.

"The so called light you saw was caused by all of you meeting. It was programmed into all of you that if you all are within a close distance of each other that your final power will kick in. Each of your symbols means your element and is similar to your personality. If you figure out what the symbol means you can use your power whenever you want."

Mr Toad left the room quickly locking the door behind him, well that was random. I stared at my symbol as everyone soaked in the info.

"It looks like…it looks like weather."

The symbol glowed and the same tingling I had felt before the black out came back and spread through my body, it started at the top of my head. It felt kind of like shape shifting in a way. What was happening to me?!

3rd Person POV

Ally's hair started to transform first, it turned a light blue and was like blue lightening, it went down to about her knees and had a fringe that finished just above her eyes which were fully blue like her hair, no white, no pupil, just blue. A black headband was situated in her hair with ribbons on each side of it. She was pale white and you could see the electricity coming off her hands.

Her clothes had transformed into a black dress with a circular neck line, puff sleeves and went to mid thigh. She had black stocking socks that went to just under the dress and had a bow at the top of them, her shoes were black ballet shoes with the ribbons going slightly up her legs over the stockings. Overall Ally looked completely different.

Ally POV

Quickly I took a look in Max's mind and saw what I looked like, it was pretty cool actually. So this is what the scientists meant before.

"You should figure yours out too so that you can transform."

My voice wasn't different it just seemed to be a bit more lyrical and calm. We decided to go from youngest to oldest from now on because really I didn't know that would happen and also because the younger ones really wanted to so they gave us bambi eyes. Leaning over Angel's foot I examined the tattoo careful not too touch her because with all the electricity running through me I didn't want to shock her.

"What about water?"

"Water."

She repeated, the tattoo glowed like mine and she smiled widely as she realized it was working. Angel's hair turned green on top with dark blue on the ends and had two pony tails on the side. Her eyes were fully greenish blue and she was now wearing a white knee length dress that had layers and shimmered in the artificial light. She was also wearing ballet slippers with ribbons that went up her legs but hers were white.

Gazzy went next, "How about you try air?"

I'd be surprised if I was right a third time.

"Air."

The tattoo glowed and once again it worked. Gazzy's hair turned a whitish grey colour and his eyes turned a cloudy grey with no pupil. Even though all of our eyes had no proper pupils our vision enhanced even more. Gazzy's clothes turned into no shirt which was kind of weird, and white ripped denim shorts.

Next was Nudge. Earth, I thought to her. She jumped surprised then repeated what I had told her out loud. I didn't know how I knew what the symbols meant but I felt like I had seen them before. Maybe in someone's thoughts, I wasn't entirely sure.

Nudge's hair went short and straight plus was entirely dark green with whitish highlights; her eyes turned a mixture of dark and light green. Basically she was gorgeous. Slowly her old blood stained clothes turned into a Japanese styled jade dress with gold on it. She had gold sandals on her feet and a leaf on her head plus a gold head trinket.

Nudge smiled widely at her transformation but before she could open her mouth to speak Iggy slapped his hand over to which she glared at him until he moved his hand away.

"I was taking a precaution." Iggy shrugged.

"I'm not going to bother looking at yours because I have no doubt you'll be fire."

He felt the tattoo on his ankle and grinned like a Cheshire cat.

"Yeah, it's fire."

Now out of all the transformations so far Iggy's hair had to be the coolest. His hair lit on fire but it wasn't like when someone lights hair on fire it was like his hair was fire, his eyes turned a dark red and if at all possible he turned slightly paler. He was now wearing a black shirt with a red fire pattern on it and red denim ripped shorts. What was with ripped shorts?

Max and Fang's was the same so I looked at them and laughed at the realization. They both looked at each other confused and were about to ask why I was laughing but I beat them to it.

"Max is light and Fang is dark."

Jake chuckled slightly behind me so I reached back and grabbed his hand to know that he definitely was still there, I think I might have died if he wasn't. Max's hair started changing to a platinum blond with golden streaks and her eyes turned to a golden colour. She was now wearing a white dress and gold ballet slippers. She seemed like light was surrounding her.

"Why do I have to get a dress?" She groaned while everyone snickered.

Fang's was definitely the funniest as he basically didn't change. His eyes turned all black and his hair seemed to change its style but it really looked very similar. The clothes he was wearing turned into dark grey jeans with a black t-shirt. This time instead of light he had darkness coming off of him, exactly the opposite of Max.

Last but not least was Jake; I looked at his tattoo worriedly. Out of all of them I knew this one the best.

"Aether, its Aether."

"What's Aether?" Jake asked me as he started to transform.

"Aether is everything and nothing all at the same time. It's like space kind of, its…creating in a way."

That is why I was worried, he was the most powerful but also the most dangerous. Jake's hair changed to white with grey streaks and his eyes were a twinkling black.

"Now we're like this…how do we get back?" Angel asked innocently staring at all of us.

Oh crap!

Wow, that was the longest chapter I have written for this story so feel lucky. Review please!!!
