I don't own Maximum Ride I leave her to my home dog JP!

Chapter 1: Bomb's away

Max's POV

"It's getting late" I said to Fang starting to worry.

"How are we going to find them?" he asked. I shrugged "Heck if I know, we've been walking around in these woods for hours" I said kicking a log out of boredom.

"Why can't we fly again?" Fang asked leaning on a tree watching me calmly.

"You didn't see that military base we avoided on the way here?" I asked picking at the bark on the log I was sitting on. Fang rose an eye brow at me "Any reason why we came this close to a military base?" he asked back.

I sighed heavily "It was Iggy's idea" I said looking back at him.

He chuckled "For once it wasn't your idea?" he asked, I rolled my eyes at him.

"You've seen the way Ig's been acting lately… I just thought it might cheer him up a bit." I said sadly thinking of how he hasn't done anything that would usually annoy me. He's just kind of been moping around and following everyone else instead of being his usual bubbly self.

At first it was like a vacation not having to yell at him…but now I'm starting to worry.

"And since when do you care whether or not he's depressed?" Fang asked I shot him a look.

"I care about all of the Flock members equally" I said with a little too much force in my words. But that's what you have to do when you know your best friend has a crush on you.

It's not that I don't like Fang; I would be lying if I said I didn't. But right now I'm too busy to deal with a relationship between us too. It's on my list of things to do, right now number one is: save the world, still working on that one. Second: figure out what to do with Fang. Third: make Justin Bieber cry.

He turned his head away looking miffed "I know-"he stopped and seemed to look like he was thinking to himself. I hate when he gets that look on his face, it usually means something bad is about to happen.

I stood up walking to him "What is it?" I asked. Fang narrowed his eyes to look at me "Did you say we were by a military infested town?" he asked I nodded.

"Think Max, Iggy is missing and he took Gazzy with him in a military infested town" he said. I didn't get it, Fang opened his wings. "The pyro and the kid who loves big explosions are missing near a town with the latest in Blow-Me-To-Bits technology!" he snapped.

I blinked and felt horror creep on me. Now not caring about the town, I opened my wings brown on top white on the bottom and jumped in the sky. It was a poor lift off but I need to find Iggy and Gazzy now! Before they do something really stupid!

Fang and I flew high in the air. When I saw the tense look in his face I knew he must have been worried too. Luckily he's my wall and is not freaking out at the moment…kind of like I am right now.

We floated in the air back to back looking in the dense woods around our camp site, but even with my raptor vision I couldn't see a thing. "See anything?" I asked hopefully. "Nothing, you?" he asked. I shook my head "Nothing…where's Angel and Nudge!" I yelled looking all around us.

My throat went dry when I realized Nudge and Angel, who had been with us! Were no were in sight. Now you see what I meant when I said Fang could be distracting? Fang spun in a circle keeping his face calm "Remind me to never sign up to be a babysitter." he said sounding annoyed.

I narrowed my eyes at his back and forced myself not to blow up on him. I've lost more than half my Flock and all Fang can do is joke about it? "Let's cover some ground" Fang said not noticing my anger, I nodded.

"You go east; south. I'll take north; west .Stay ground level if you can help it. Be back at the site in a few hours, don't leave the woods" I said with a nod to him. Fang nodded back and hesitated for a second. Before leaning forward to kiss my forehead real quick and zip away before I could react.

I watched him shocked at first then smiled slowly. Alright snap out of it Max! This is not the time to go all girl gooey! You're missing Flock members remember?

Using my hyper speed to scan my section of the woods, I dropped closer to the ground to listen and see better. I slowed down and followed the path we had taken earlier. I stopped seeing footprints go off course.

Got yah!

I smirked and went to follow the trail when I stopped in my tracks hearing a sound. "Angel?... Nudge, Gazzy, Iggy!" I called with no answer. I stood still listening till I heard a distant buzzing sound.

My eyes snapped open; Flyboys.

Okay don't panic, don't panic, don't panic... two seconds later I heard Nudge's girly shriek. My eyes went wide and I ran finding a clear patch in the trees to lift off.

Iggy's POV

I leaned my back against a wall. Listening to Gazzy talk on and on about the military hanger we just snuck out of.

"Iggy you should have seen the things in there!" Gazzy said happily. I nodded absentmindedly; there it is 'you should have seen' a comment like that used to roll right off my back. Lately though it's been getting harder to just ignore, leaving me either pissed off or depressed.

"Are you done hooking up the timer?" Gazzy asked when he realized I'd stopped listening. I could feel him lean over my shoulder, I nodded handing him the timer for our newest and may I say most badass bomb we've ever made.

He took it and watched me for a second, my little partner in crime could tell something's wrong, but like the rest of the Flock, he's been ignoring it. He turned and ran to the bombing zone we'd picked. I turned my head in his direction for a bit.

I swear I was on auto pilot when I told Max to fly here.

She's going to strangle me when she finds out, what was the point anyways? Once the bomb goes off I'll have to have Gazzy describe its details in nine year-old terms. I sighed; even the simplest things have an obstacle to get to them.

When I heard two pairs of light feet come up behind me I made a fake smile looking up at Angel and Nudge who had wandered on to the bombing site.

"So this is where you two have been? Blowing up bombs right next to a town?" Nudge asked, I'm guessing she has her hands on her hips.

"No this is where we've been blowing up bombs a safe distance from the town. Where any debris will get snagged on the tree's" I said numbly.

"And the thunder in the storm on its way will explain the loud BOOM!" Gazzy panted walking up.

"That's smart, can we stay to watch? Max and Fang are boring" Angel said walking up next to me. I nodded "Sure kid" I said ruffling up her hair.

"You're so sad, I'm sorry Iggy."

I jumped a little. I guess nothings private with a mind reading six year-old around all the time. I frowned down at Angel hoping she got the message to stay out of my head. I love the kid but that power just creeps me out.

I felt Angel nod under my hand "Alright let's do this!" Gazzy said walking over to us.

"Cover your ears this one's going to be bright and loud" I warned the girls.

"I put glass all around the bomb so when it explodes out it'll be all sparkle slash deadly!" Gazzy laughed like a mad scientists…or I guess a white coat.

Sorry for those who don't like Miggy stories but Fax gets so boring after a while!

This story has been rewritten. Seeing how the first time I wrote this it was 4 in the morning and I was a little loopy.
