Max! Max, no! Fly, fly, fly! Please, oh, please get back up!
My thoughts raced as the fight raged on. Flyboys came out of nowhere at every angle. Angel, Gazzy, Iggy, Nudge, even Total... They were all trying their best to fight. But the Flybots had too many. They had taken us by surprise. Max couldn't see…
I could see her body now, tumbling towards the ground at an alarming rate. Why wasn't she waking up?! Punching off one of our attackers, I dove toward my best friend, my leader, my secret love… Suddenly, a sharp pain to my back blacked me out for a moment. I spun around, trying to dislodge the brave Flyboy who dared to get in my way.
"Surrender! Fighting is useless!" it urged, winding its fist back for a punch.
"Shut UP!" I replied, my punch coming faster. It landed square in its face, followed by a satisfying crunch of metal. The Flyboy backed up, covering its new dent, courtesy of my fist. Without hesitating, I gave it a round-house kick, sending it flying back into another one of its comrades. They both spun to the ground, creating a large explosion that left me slightly smug. Wait until I tell Max… OH NO!
I spun around, desperately looking for her. Stupid, stupid, stupid! Leave it to you to get caught up in a fight while Max is falling to her death! By now, the battle was leaning in our favor. Angel was just twisting one Flyboy's head to the side while Nudge flew by, baiting another along until she dodged to the right, causing two of the flying machines to crash. Gazzy and Iggy were fighting together, Gazzy shouting different directions to help Iggy along occasionally as they took down two more.
But no Max…
The blow to the head shouldn't have hit that hard. I had never seen Max get out of a fight so soon… Was she okay? Did she get captured? Or was she off chasing and fighting another set of Flyboys yet to come? The thoughts raced through my mind as I descended towards the ground, my eyes scanning for the crumpled body of Max. I shivered at the image my mind created.
Then, I saw her… And I couldn't believe what I saw…
