United (a Percy Jackson/Maximum Ride story)

The Mutant Games Part 1

Mwahaha! This will get interesting!

P E R C Y POV

"All right, Experiment 977, Project X, and Gen 54 mutants follow me." (If its wrong correct me). An old man grumbled as he turned around to face us. His face was hard to see but it looked like he had wrinkles on his wrinkles! He slowly unlocked or cages and handcuffed us to a leash, were we dogs? The man pulled us along and deposited us in an outdoor area.

It was really like a jungle and it was so hot, I was already sweating! The old man uncuffed us as nudged me with his shoe. Like you would do to a odd creature, to get to move.

"Go!" a big voice boomed over the arena, and I ran into the forest, looking back to see if the flock was with me.

They were right behind me, so I kept running. Soon, I had to stop for a breath, and looked around me. All I saw was green. Green trees, green bushes, green grass, green eggs and ham... No I'm kidding, I wish, I'm hungry. (I am deeply sorry, I had to put that in, no matter how cheesy) As I turned to see the full view Max and the flock ran up behind me. Max was about to say something, but the loud voice cut her off. "Mutants! This is a test! It will test the limits of your powers and your survival." It boomed across the arena, "Here are the rules. Don't kill your fellow mutants, at least not on purpose! Ha... You can though kill Erasers but that is unlikely. Also try not to destruct the property. It took a lot to build this, at least it did while I watched. Woo! Man, I'm on a roll." This guy... hilarious. "Ok, you will have to collect and/or make every thing that you will need. Which means weapons, food, etc. And no alliances, well... you can until the final, urm, hour." 

Seriously? What is with these scientists, they are mad, complete wackjobs with no life. I looked over at Max, who seemed to be thinking. "All right, time to start this puppy. Ready. Set. Go!" Big Voice yelled. 

I turned to the flock who looked like they were ready for this. At least I have some experience on my side, and they seem to too. All right." Max started, "We''ll meet back at the rendezvous point. Fang, Iggy, Gazzy, search for a camp site. Nudge, Angel, go look for supplies." Nudge made a pouty face and clung to my arm squeezing so hard I thing I lost circulation in my arm.

"But I want to go with Percy." she whined. "No me and Percy are going to look for food. Come on, you will see him later." That seemed to satisfy her but squeezed my arm once more, tugging it down s I almost fell over.

"Oof!" My breathe gets knocked out of me as Nudge hugs me really hard before going with Angel. "Sorry about her..." Max trails off, laughing to herself. "No problem, girls were all over me at my old schools." I sigh, but Max didn't look convinced. "Fine, they weren't. But all the schools I went o had snobby mean girls, so that doesn't count." I laugh. "Sure." Max sarcastically agreed.

"Do you really think we are going to win?" Max asks looking at the ground. "Um," I stutter, Max has always been so certain, this surprised me. "Yeah, no doubt." I lie, we might not but I don't want to say that. I'd look like a terrible friend! She smiled and I heard a sound above me and stopped.

"Sh." I whisper to Max who has frozen to. The leaves rustle again and 3 coconuts and 2 manages come down from the canopy and hit me right on the head! I fall, fruit surrounding me. Are coconuts fruit? Anyways, Max was cracking up.

"Ow," I mutter rubbing the top of my head. "Are you OK?" Max asks, trying to keep a straight face, and failing miserable. "Yeah great." I moaned as she helped me up. "Wow, we are pretty lucky, your head's a food magnet!" Max teased, and I had to smile. "Lets get these back." and with that we picked up our gatherings and went back to the rendezvous point. The trip back didn't take long.

We got back as the same time as the rest of the flock so we set up camp. I was surprised to find that it was still light out after we finished.

"Alright, training time. So Percy what can you do, besides what has been injected into you." Max asked eagerly. Nudge sat forward and Angel slid over to Max. The guys were talking about something, Im not sure what though.

"Well, I'm pretty good with a sword, but I, uh, guess that's it." I lied. Max didn't look like she believed me but let it go. "Are you any good at hand to hand combat?" She inquired, curiously. "Uh, I guess Im alright." I definitely wasn't the best at it but I could survive.

"Well let's see?" she smirked. Max got up and stood over her. "But I said I wasn't very good!" I whimpered. She laughed and pulled me to my feet. "Ugh!" I whined, pretending to be a baby.

"Put 'em up!" She grinned evilly and everyone started chanting. I got into a fighting stance as she circled around me.

Max stopped and I knew she was ready to fight. She jumped cowards punching towards my chest. I dodged but she aimed a perfect side kick to my ribs. "Oof! " I said flying backwards, hitting a tree.

I stood up slowly, decided that it was my turn to play offence. I swung a punch a her head assuming she'd catch it. The executed a perfect spinning hook kick. I clipped her jaw but she didn't seem fazed.

"That's all you got?" she asked. Before I had time to react Max punched me in the chest making me stumble, the following up with a round house kick and a knee strike to the gut.

Falling to the ground I clutched my abdomen. "Again!" I groaned slowly getting up. Max looked confused, gosh even the flock looked surprised!

"I felt this power. Even though you beat me, it wads odd like a bit of power I was just beginning to get. Maybe that's what they injected me with!"

Everyone nodded. As I got ready for another round. We began and I felt a rush of power tightening in my chest. I grabbed onto it pulling the strand through my body.

It felt like everything was in slo-mo She swung the first punch and I dodged it really fast. Then she stopped and the flock stared at me. "Uh." I groaned holding my head. There was a flash of white and everything was so different. I could hear the flocks heart beat, ba-boom boom ba-boom boom. And I could see every little detail, like the pulse of Max's heart making her veins  bulge slightly.

I even felt like I could run 5 miles and let be tell you, I don't like running. Or I could lift 500 pounds!

"Um, Percy? Your eyes!" Angel whispered. She looked a little scared, they all did. I rushed to a puddle and found my eyes gold. Well maybe the color of a manticores coat!

I smiled and jogged back to camp. "Bring it!" I said putting my hands up, and soon Max and I were a whirlwind of punches, kicks, and blocks.

And I found my self winning...

Woo! That was a long chapter. Part 2 is coming soon, and I promise I'll update faster! Thx for reading. <3
