I dont own MR or any characters created by Jimmy Patt but I do own Bane and Jackal. enjoy

What I'm going to say wont effect any new readers but I'm going to stop this story due to lack of reviews, I've got a plan but it probably wont be particuly pleasant for the characters. If you want me to carry on please review.


Hey my names Jackal, although that’s not my real name, I mean can you imagine any kind of parent naming a kid Jackal? No you can’t, I guess you could see it like a nickname. Anyway I’m fourteen going on fifteen and probably about five foot eight, so in case you don’t get that, I’m pretty tall. I have black hair that annoyingly keeps falling over my blue eyes.

So as you can see I’m your average kinda guy, oh god sorry nearly forgot to tell you, I also have wings.

Your probably thinking “ Wings? This guys a loony” well if you think that you might as well stop reading right now because things are gonna get a lot weirder. So yeah I have wings, big and as black as the night sky, wings, there probably about sixteen foot from one end to the other, which means there very big. Alongside the wings I’m much stronger and faster than most grown men, Awesome eh? My body is also made differently than a human, so it’s easier for me to fly.

Now I bet your wondering, “How did he get wings” well I’ve had them since birth would be the answer. I’ll try to give you it in a nutshell but be warned it will be one big shell. When my Mum was pregnant with my brother, Bane and I ,Oh yeah forgot to mention my bro, these scientists put bird DNA into our embryos meaning that when we were born we had wings and were some other stuff that you'll learn about later. I’m not sure what happened after that but my brother and I were taken away to a top-secret lab called The School.

So that brings us up to this moment.

I lay in my dog crate, tenderly touching the burn mark on the back of my neck from the white coat that had the cattle prod, fine I’d bitten him earlier. Due to my wolf genes I always have sharper teeth So it likely hurt a lot.

You’ll live” I heard in my head. I looked over at Bane, talking to him was probably the only thing that kept me sane over the years.

In The School you lose track of time because usually you just sit in the crate, its sooooo boringAnyway soon after my “incident” with the cattle prod the very same scientist walks into the room we’re in.

“ You’re wanted,” he said snidely

“ Well there’s a first” I reply

He gives me a dirty look and opens my cage and Banes; we both slowly crawl out and stand up.

Morph your wings,” I think to Bane. Yeah we can morph our wing on and off, it really helps us blend with humans. We both spread our wing out, mine black and Banes snow white. I noticed that the scientist looked slightly intimidated, so it got the desired effect. I sniggered inwardly. Then we were led out of the room, the eyes of the other hybrids following us jealously.

I wonder where they’re taking us?” I think

Maybe to be exterminated” My brothers always the optimist

We were led down a corridor that had a window looking into the courtyard, as I looked out I saw a small group of Erasers

“ Wait a minute Erasers?”

“ I thought they’d all been terminated!”

Bane looked at me with worried eyes

“ I guess the flyboys aren’t turning out so well”

Damn that all we need, new Erasers.

After a while of walking down long white corridors “ Evil scientists have no taste in colour” we came to a door, with “Director” written on it. Woo Hoo the big cheese wants too see us this should be interesting.

The scientist ushered us through the door into the room. The room was basically an office with desk, cabinets and a big leather swivel chair. We stood still as the chair turned round slowly to us. In the chair was a woman, “ I’d actually expected her to be stroking a cat, but you know”

I had the odd urge to shout something rude at her. Once I thought that I saw Bane barely suppress a smile

.“ I bet your wondering why you’re here,” she said with voice like poisoned honey

Nope I’m wondering if you have to clean those wrinkles on your face” Bane thought. I grinned stupidly and actually wished Bane would say that to her.

She carried on oblivious to our conversations. “ You’re here to fulfil your purpose”She had my attention now “ The purpose you were trained for is the only reason you weren’t terminated” We both were listening intently.“ What purpose is that then?” I burst out

She smiled slightly “ You are going to kill the Flock”
