The Plot
Itex is destroyed, Ari is dead, the Flock is reunited and Max has found her real parents, but the question remains: what next?
Their next mission is one they have already tried for and failed at: high school. But now new hybrids are showing up along with a new company, Chimera Corporation. What is happening? Who is friend and who is foe?
My apologies everyone! As many of you know alright, I was really sick back in April and May and it only got worse, forcing me to leave the site in the hands of Em and Mint. Unfortunately, my recovery wasn't as speedy as I had hoped and it has been a long time since I have been able to join you guys. I am now officially back and better then ever! I assure you all that I am here for good with my deepest apologies.
- Max

Rumbling Tummies and Shake Down Supremes [Ocean] « Thread Started on May 1, 2008, 8:58pm »
The loud growl of her stomach alerted Max to the fact that it was noon, and she hadn’t eaten all day. Just great, and here I didn’t pack a lunch. she thought to herself, her eyes roaming the street, constantly searching for any sign of danger. Ever since her encounter with the wolf hybrid, Max had been on edge, waiting for Erasers to attack, Itex to turn up, Jeb to return or these cat-hybrids to show up. She was as jumpy as a kangaroo mouse and wound tighter than a slinky. Ready to burst, Max just had to leave the house and if she got into a fight? BONUS!
Looking about her surroundings, Max spotted a diner just down the street. Coincidence? I think not. It was nothing fancy, just your average diner with tables and chairs, a bar with stools, and waitresses taking orders. Only a few people where currently in the diner, a man behind the counter, a waitress taking an order, and an older couple, sitting together. All human and easily taken care of if need be. Cautiously, Max entered, mapping out escape routes and taking careful note of the placement of every object, which could be used for weapons and which would make a good shield.
“What can I get ya, missy?” the man asked, Moe according to his name tag.
Slipping onto one of the bar stools, placing herself so that she could see the door, Max searched her pockets, a twenty dollar bill, three dimes, a nickel, four pennies, a button, a jolly rancher, two pieces of string, a house key and some lint. “A chocolate milkshake, a large coke, grilled chicken ceaser wrap, large French fries, a poutine, a BLT wrap and a slice of apple pie please.” She picked the first items her eyes fell on.
Moe blinked a moment, shrugged, then went to place her order leaving Max to allow her eyes to wander the diner once again. Pictures dotted the walls, bikers, truck drivers, diners and employees that have long since left. Newspaper clippings depicted the history of the diner and certificates mingled with the photos, but one faded picture caught Max’s eye. A girl sat at one of the tables, a milk shake in front of her, a burger raised to her lips, mouth opened to take a bite. Across the table a boy sat, coffee cup in front of him and a paper in his hand. It was the girl that caught her attention. Even though her ears where tucked away, and there was no sign of a tail, there was no mistaking that it was Oceanwolf sitting in the picture.
“Nice picture.” Max said conversationally, trying to sound nonchalant as Moe placed a milkshake in front of her.
The man beamed, spotting the picture she had motioned to. “That there is Emerald and Xelious, my girl and her friend. What a pair, what a pair. Em, now she came to me first, dropped outside my diner like yesterdays leftovers, some beat up hunk of junk tearing off like he was being chased by the devil himself. Poor thing, she was a mess, but she’s a strong lass, pulled through like a champ. Xelious came by a few days later, lookin’ for her. Those two,” Moe shook his head, a smile on his lips. It was obvious he cared for the two. “Saved my skin when a bunch of bikers tried to shake this place up. Dunno what those two are made of, but they sure whipped some manners into those boys, kept them on ever since.”
Max nodded, sipping her shake, looking the part of polite interest as her mind wirled to life. So this is where you’re from, Oceanwolf. Her thoughts jumbling together as she dug into her lunch.

Moe's Dinner was always a good place to go for people who needed a good bit to eat because they served very good food. It was hard to believe the place was just a dinner for passers by and not more public than it was, but the man kept it that way, just for living simple. Moe glanced at the picture again, thinking about how the wolf girl had not come in as of late and when he did see her, the bird boy was no where to be seen. Moe had wondered if something had happened to him because one day when Emerald came back to the Dinner, she was in really bad shape but she refused his help, or anyone elses help for that matter. He knew how independent she was even with Xelious but he had never seen her this distant before, almost as if she was not even truly there.
Moes thoughts where interrupted by a sudden crash, causing him to duck for cover. A brick had been thrown into his humble Dinner, followed by several others, most of the patrons ran out, leaving there food and treys behind causing Moe to become filled with worry. Soon 4 Big Burly men walked into the room, one with several piercings, one with a bandanna wrapped around his head, one with Tattoos all over his face and the lead one with an eye patch over his eye. They were all in their mid twenties and all of them looked like they were ready to hit something or someone. The Tattooed one walked up to Moe and pointed to the cash Register and without a word the man popped it open, he waited for them to come around to the other side but they seemed to be distracted by Max who was the only patron left.
"Looky what we have here." Eyepatch grinned as he looked at Max.
"Leave her alone, she is just a kid!" Moe exclaimed before having a knife pointed at his neck by the Tattooed male who now stood behind him.
"Whats a girl like you doing all alone in a place like this?" Eyepatch asked, "You could get hurt....well that is unless you want to get hurt. Or maybe you want to Ride with us sometime?"
(((You are more than welcome to control them, you can make them pervy if you want just Make Max get into a fight and perhaps get into trouble or just a fight, Ether way Em is gonna come in the next post))

What. The. Flying. Monkeys? Max groaned and placed her BLT wrap down. I just got my food. Her eyes narrowed as she looked straight ahead as her ears followed the intruders. To fly or to fight, that is the question. Max chewed the remainder of the wrap that was still in her mouth. “You said family was important Max. This man is someone’s family, do the right thing.” Why hello voice, so nice of you to drop in at such an inconvenient time. Typical.
Rolling her shoulders, Max braced her hands on the counter, a smirk playing across her face.
"Looky what we have here." Eyepatch grinned as he looked at Max.
"Leave her alone, she is just a kid!" Moe exclaimed before having a knife pointed at his neck by the Tattooed male who now stood behind him.
"What’s a girl like you doing all alone in a place like this?" Eyepatch asked, "You could get hurt....well that is unless you want to get hurt. Or maybe you want to Ride with us sometime?"
Max laughed, her eyes glinting ever so slightly. ”Boys, boys, boys. Haven’t your parents ever told you to pick on someone your own size?” She stretched and turned in her seats, her hands braced on the stool between her legs. ”Now, I see we have two choices before us. You can leave quietly or I can help you leave.”
Bandana howled with laughter, “A little slip of a girl can’t hurt us little one.” his gaze turned into a leer, his hand reaching to grab her forearm. “Now, me and you could leave, have our own brand of fun.” his smile was sickeningly wide.
”You have three seconds to take your hand off of me before I take it off myself.” She leveled her gaze as he leered down. “Three. Two One.” The snap was loud and wet, the scream that followed was horrifying, causing all the bikers to stop and stare. “Now, who’s next?”
Tattoo man reached over the counter, his hand darting out to grab Moe by the neck and dragging him over. “Try that again and the cook gets it.” He sneered, pulling out a switch blade. “Think you’re such a hot shot little lady? We’ll see just how tough you are now.”
Max snarled. “Ah Sh-“

It had bee a while since Emerald had last visited Moes Dinner, now with Ruby and Xel Back she had wanted to spend as much time with them as possible. She figured it was about time to see Moe however, wanting him to come eat dinner with them soon. He was really part of her family and he deserved to eat with them more often than he did. The wolf girl couldn’t wait to have ‘uncle moe’ over so ruby could bond with the older man just like she had..
Em had decided to come through the back door today, in order to pick out her choice in meats so she would be able to attempt to cook a big yummy dinner tonight instead of the leftovers the group had been having. The Denim jean jacket clad wolf girl heard a noise right as she opened the back door and rushed ot see what was going on. Moe was currently over the table with a knife to his throat and there were thugs in the bar. She also saw Maximum Ride which was someone she didn’t exactly care about. Her number one concern was freeing her father figure from the clutches of the evil biker, so she did the only thing a ‘normal’ girl in her situation would do.
Smacked him over the head with a large frying pan at full force.
The wolf girl couldn’t help but grin at the pause before he let Moe go, slumping down on the ground unconscious. She grinned a little at Max, her pointed wolven teeth showing, tail wagging freely back and forth.
“Aww why are you bringing trouble to my side of town?” She asked with a coy grin, lunging at the nearest biker she could get her hands on and punch.

Great, her again. Max groaned inwardly as the wolf girl came flying into action with a . . . frying pan? At least she had some style. Emphasis on the some. Not one to be out done, Max threw herself into the fray, taking out one biker with a round house kick and knocking out her first victim with a well placed punch.
“You’re side of town? I wasn’t under the impression that you owned part of the city.” Max growled as she heaved a biker out of her way. “And I didn’t bring anything here.” All attempted robbers unconscious, Max toed one, eliciting a moan of pain. At least I didn’t kill him. “All I want is to finish my food in peace.”[/b] she gazed longingly at what remained of her lunch, splattered across the counter and on the floor. At least it wasn’t a cookie, or there would be hell to pay.
“You might want to call someone, these guys aren’t going to stay this way forever, and I ain’t in the cleaning business.” she grumbled to Moe, rearranging her zip up hoodie, a wing had begun to poke out in the fray. She turned to Oceanwolf. “I had it under control you know.” fishing out a bunch of crumpled bills from her pocket, she tossed them on the counter.

((Mind if I jump in?))
"Maximum Ride- Recombinant, Hawk-DNA. Status- dangerous to both herself, and the company." Names. Names. The bounty Hunter was used to old bull. Cam Albercheri felt compelled to take the job, but he recognized the name. The tabloids all displayed her face, and her little gang. What were they called again? Oh right, the Flock. Little birdy kids with big attitudes, and cute smiles. They had the good life... basically. A nice family. Would suck to ruin it. He instead opted to take out a small-time crook with a lupine gene or two.
Looking in the mirror, he began to think of the faces he could take. He decided on a sandy-haired young man, with light freckles. For some reason, he chose on an age about 16-17, because that was the age of a target of his. Which one again? Oh right, the Flock's Leader. Funny.
He decided to visit a coffeehouse- it was a good place for crooks to rob, and any petty thief would jump on an easy target like a coffeehouse. Cam recalled a time when he'd helped his old boss hold up one place. Whatever. Cam, shaking his slightly as if he were cold, took a moment to glance in a puddle to make sure he was the right person. He had focus issues, and normally, just the thought of person would reflect on his face. He noticed that one of his eyes was blue, not green. A quick blink remedied the situation. He didn't talk much because it normally led to a mistake or two... if the person he was talking to was important.
Whatever...
There was a diner that had already been sacked. What luck. Diners were just as good as Coffee houses. Oh better yet- the thieves were already taken out. Cam hid behind a building and took on the form of a middle-aged policeman. It would be easier to get closer to one of the unconscious bodies. He quickly walked toward the diner, his eyes wary of any extra movement. Sure enough, biker that had been able to sneak out ran into him. Cam looked at the man, his eyes quailing. Cam didn't bother to act like a cop- his eyes changed color the instant he looked into the biker's. He could barely breath as Cam gave him a swift upper-cut to the chin.

Emerald laughed lightly at Max’s ‘leap into the fray’ figuring that the younger girl would come in anyways. From what she had heard, the girl was always up for a fight so it was almost kind of reassuring that she had a comrade at arms, despite the fact that they really rather despised one another at the moment. Once she saw that all of them were unconscious she listened to what Max had to say.
”Really? Which is exactly why my friend nearly got stabbed by twiddle dumb over there?” Emerald asked referring to the knocked out biker on the floor.
The female sat down her her normal place at the dinner, a booth not to far from the emergency exit and smiled a bit at Max, stretching her arms lethargically. The older hybrid grinned wolfishly, tail wagging freely back and forth. Her grin was her trademark one, the one that meant that she was up to something or that she just wanted to talk, ethier way she was curious at what Max did.
“Besides doesn’t the big bad Maximum Ride what to say something to me to ‘put me in my place’ after the private messaging fiasco?” Emerald asked that coy grin still on her face.
Now one might wonder whether or not Em noticed the new person heading towards the dinner, the answer to that would be yes. She could smell the newcomer as he was approaching and she was waiting for him to come into the dinner. There was a good reason why she was sitting all the way in the back, because if she needed to linebacker tackle someone, she could get a could running start.
Moe on the other hand just grabbed his broom and started sweeping.

Lupine. He could tell. The way her muscles clenched and relaxed, the amount of tension he felt coming from her corner of the slightly trashed diner. The other one, Cam recognized. Her face was on the magazine he got in mail three months ago. Maximum Ride. Her presence helped explain the thrashing of the bad guys. As he was about to open the door. He paused right before he opened the door. He had no weapons save a bottle of chloroform he always carried with him. Just in case. He could burst in and pour right across their faces. He even had his wallet, to pay the guy in back to keep him quiet.
"Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen." Cam dipped his hat slightly as he entered the slightly trashed establishment. He mercifully stepped over the biker who had been laid out by a frying pan. His size discrepancy however, acted, and his left hit the biker square in the nose. He flashed a police badge he'd stolen two weeks ago, as if proving his authenticity. "I assume these men attempt to accost your fine establishment..." he continued as he picked up the various weapons that had been laid out and about by fists and kicks. He nearly smiled with mischievous evil when he found a gun sticking out from one of the biker's belts. As he "liberated" the bikers of their weapons, Cam kept an eye on the other recombinants in the room, his perception alerting him to even the most harmless of things.

((XD sorry guys, not my best, but its something . . . Posting order: Myself, Ocean, Cam))
Max growled, "Really Pup? That squeak toy, we need to get you one.". Instead she threw back some hair out of her face and turned tow watch the newcomer enter. Great, just . . . great. Max rolled her shoulders, loosening her wings ever so slightly so that she could burst into action, or flight, at a moments notice. Her spidey senses were tingling, and that was never a good thing. He flashed a police badge and Max froze. Oh, Holy mother above. So much for a low profile. her eyes flickered around the room, she always preached about being careful, being weary, and her she was trapped in this situation.
Hopping back up onto the bar stool once again, Max positioned herself, one leg crossed over the other, heel dug into the foot rest, ready to launch back into action. Raptor vision watched the cop as he picked up the weapons. That was awfully quick for the police to get here. she thought, wracking her brain, Did Moe even call the police yet? Max couldn't remember, she had been fully focused on Emerald. There was no way they could easily explain this one away.

Now, Miss Emerald Lupin wasn’t one for believing in ‘coincidences’ usually there was a reason for almost everything that happened to her. Considering the fact that this cop just happened to come in after this made her even more suspicious, she remained silent, only noise she made was a slight inhalation of the air, seeing if his scent was one of a typical cop. It was not, he had a vague chemical scent about him as well as the typical scent she would find at any of the places she ‘lived’ in the past. She smiled slightly at the ‘police officer, watching him doing whatever he was doing.
The wolf girl walked up to Max, tail cleverly hidden in her pants, smiling a bit. “Hey Little Sister we better get going, Remember you have that big math test tommrow and you don’t want to flunk it. That may just bring your grade down to a C in Miss Smiths class.” She told the girl in her big sister tone placing a hand on her shoulder.
Emerald, much like Max, knew how to lie and when you are on the run it was always very good to know how to do that. The wolf girl didn’t give Max any indication on what was going on except for her foot being pointed to the fire exit door, the door she was sitting by moments before.
“Remember mom will raise your allowance if you get an A” Emmy smiled in her normal big sister way.

"Excuse me one minute..." said Cam, noticing the way she forced her smile. It was an attempt to escape, but seeing as his initial target was not available, he'd have to settle for the target in front of him. In his pocket, he fingered his chloroform bottle, debating how he should use it. "But I'd like to ask some questions. First, why exactly were you here?" he asked, pulling a notepad out of his pocket. He hoped it would phase the girls long enough to pull in his surprise attack.
He had feeling that they weren't going to cooperate, so, in a split second, he whipped out his bottle, throwing the contents directly at Max. He held a gun directly in front of him, his eyes reptillian and super-perceptive. He breathed as little as he could as he shifted the skin over his mouth into a strange type of filter that made him look like an alien. He could care less though- he was ready for anything now. As long as his transformation held, he was safe. He couldn't be recognized or tracked down. If the chloroform did its work right, Maximum Ride would be out of commision, and he'd only have to take out the lupine girl. Things were looking up for the Chameleon.
