Book 2 in the series!! It would be silly to read this one before the first one, so don't be silly.

In this world, nothing seems normal. There are supernaturals and people with powers. Those people are outcasted in a completely different location from society, an island called Gone. Five of these people happen to be a group known to some as Pentatonix. But now that many have been brainwashed, they are no longer Famous. They've been incripted with powers and have been sentenced to the island Gone. There adventure begins here...

It's hard being young and just starting out, especially when you're also dealing with your possibly incredibly dangerous superhuman abilities. It's already pretty difficult living and doing things for yourself, but when you throw superpowers on top of it... that's a recipe for disaster. The CIA seem to have taken a liking to five college age kids from all around the country. Mitch Grassi, saving people at a Walmart; Scott Hoying, working in a morgue; Kirstin Maldonado, finishing an important test at Kent State University; Avi Kaplan, on a vacation to a waterpark/campground; and Kevin Olusola, performing in the circus. When these five cross paths, their entire lives are flipped toward the life they've never wanted. But when their world is threatened, perhaps their newfound friendship will be enough to save the planet from itself.

A deranged scientist experiments on the members of PTX without their knowledge or consent, after which they start to develop strange powers... (ADOPTED BY imcdna)

In an AU, those with gifted blood are trained their whole lives at a special academy. When the gifted turn nineteen, they will receive control of one of the four elements - earth, water, air, and fire. Five friends - Kevin, Kirstie, Scott, Avi, and Mitch - all have gifted blood and attend the Elemental Academy. Kirstie, Scott, and Mitch are all the same age and are on the eve of discovering their powers, while Avi and Kevin (both two years older than the other three) wait excitedly to congratulate their friends. But when the day comes for Kirstie, Scott, and Mitch to get their powers, one of them gets something no one expected...
