In Saving the World and Other Extreme Sports, the Flock must save the world from the Itex Corporation (the company behind the School, also connected to the Institute for Higher Living) and its Director, who plans to terminate and destroy all recombinant species and cut the Earth's population in half (otherwise known as the By-Half Plan). The Erasers have been replaced with flying, robotic Erasers called Flyboys. Meanwhile, Fang tries to persuade Max to find a permanent home where they can live in peace and forget about the world, only caring about themselves and the Flock. Max invites Ari (the last remaining Eraser and Max's half-brother) to join the group after escaping from the School once more, causing Fang, Iggy, and the Gasman to leave the Flock in protest, leaving only Max, Nudge, Angel, and Ari. In the end of the book, Ari's death is predicted by an "expiration date" that appears on the back of his neck, revealing the date that he would die, and as predicted, he dies. The group reunites, and Max discovers that Jeb Batchelder is her father and that her mother is Dr. Valencia Martinez, a kindly veterinarian from the first book (Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment). Max also begins to realize that she may have romantic feelings toward Fang.
