Looks like we're on our own again…
Okay, ever since Mr. Chuey-Chu kidnapped my mother, he was officially added to the list of "people who's asses seriously need to be kicked." I'm not exaggerating; I actually have the list.
1. Dr. Spectacular A.K.A. Brigid Dyer
2. Chuey-Chu A.K.A. Mr. Chu
3. Fake Mom A.K.A Marian Janssen
4. Ter Crap A.K.A Ter Borcht
5. Jeb A.K.A. Loser.
Jeb's not really my enemy anymore, but he stole the last piece of pizza yesterday and it clearly had my name written on it, so I'm still mad at him for that!
Anyway, things have been kinda calm so far. The bad news is that we're on our own again. I told Fang that I felt like I was carrying too much (you know, my sack of people that I have to take care of and never let anything bad happen to them) and he suggested that we go back to just being the Flock and nothing more than just the Flock. There was one problem though…
Total didn't come with us.
Apparently he's all crazy about that girl dog, what was her name again…Akila? Yeah, that's it. When we told him that she couldn't come with us, he said he'd rather just stay with her. He said he's sorry, but he can't live without his soul mate.
Nice speech, dog mutant.
So, many tears were shed, blah, blah, blah. Anyway, we're currently above…
"Fang, where are we again!?" I asked as I turned to my right flank. There he was, looking like a god of death with his pitch black wings and his onyx eyes…Sorry, about that. That was just a little bird kid poetry for ya.
"…I think we're in West…Virginia!? I'm not sure, but I know we're somewhere in the east location…" Fang said, as he looked at me through the corner of his eye.
"We exited West Virginia a longgggg time ago!" I heard little Angel shout. We were kinda in a hurry so, as you can tell, the wind was screaming at us 'cause we were going too fast…So if we wanted to have a conversation, we'd have to shout. "We're in Allentown, Pennsylvania!"
"And how do you know this again!?" I shouted. I seriously did not know how little Angel does it.
Did you forget I read minds, Max? I can hear those people on the highway say "Okay, we're in Allentown, Pennsylvania, now!"
Oh yeah. I forgot that. You guys should be all up to speed right? We're the bird-kid mutants: Max (me), Fang, Iggy, Nudge, Gassy, and Angel. I'm not gonna bother explaining, so if you're lost that probably means you gotta go read the books again. Or read them for the first time. Heck, I don't know what you read!
So, the reason we're on the east side of the country is because we're on our way to Chuey-Chuey's headquarters in Tokyo, Japan. From the information I gathered from Dr. Spectacular (I enjoyed that very much), Chuey-Chuey's planning on using this extreme atomic bomb to blow up the world or something. No, wait, I think he meant to carry a super-virus around the world so everyone would die, but only the people who knew in advance would survive. What an idiot!
Did he really think we weren't going to do anything about that?
And now we're on our way to New York, so that we can get on a plane towards Tokyo-O. And why haven't we told any adults about this? Because we're cool like that!
"Maaxx! We've been flying for seven hours straiiight! Can't we, like, take a break or something!? I really, really, really, want to use the little girls room, so we gotta pull over!! And I am sooo hungry!!! I want some fried chicken; can we go to KFC!? Pretty, pretty pleaseeeeeee!? We can get that new Kentucky Grilled Chicken--Hey, if they make grilled chicken now, then shouldn't they change the name to KGC!? But then people would be all like 'Dude, where's the KFC?' and then the other dude would be like, 'Dude, it's called KGC now. That name sounds gay, let's just go to subway.' Hey, that rhymed! I am brilliant! I'm brilliant, aren't I Max?" I heard Nudge yap.
"No, you definitely are not! But you sure are, the heck annoying!" Iggy shouted at her as he rubbed his temple. Apparently, the blind bird was getting a headache.
"What!? I'm not annoying! Max, I'm not annoying, right!? I'm brilliant, right!?" Nudge shouted, as she started pouting again.
"Of course you're brilliant, Nudge. Now please do us a favor and shut up?" I said, as I continued facing forward.
"Fine…but can we take a break?" Nudge asked, a bit more quietly.
"Max…, I kinda want to take a break too," Angel said as she looked at me with those beady eyes.
I sighed. "20 more minutes and we take a break, I promise," I said, a little ashamed we hadn't gotten farther. I was even more ashamed when I heard the cheering of the Flock, minus Fang.
Fang was currently giving me one of those intense looks, then he leaned closer to me and whispered, "It's okay. We'll still get there soon, but we won't really make a difference if we show up to Chuey-Face all tired-looking. We should rest."
I smiled a bit as I whispered back, "Okay…"
"But in twenty minutes, remember!" I shouted to the flock.
I'm pretty sure I was going to start daydreaming about Fang, again, when I heard someone invading the privacy of my mind. And it wasn't Angel.
Max? Can you hear me? said "the Voice." And I still have no idea as to who the voice belongs to. It was always impossible to tell.
Of course I hear you, Voice. You're inside my head, I replied, a little irritated.
Max, I want you to get back to your home. Go back to Dr. Martinez and Jeb.
What!? Why? I'm on a little important job, in case you didn't know…
It doesn't matter. Something bad happened, just now and I need you to get home immediately! And please beware of--
The line cut.
"And please beware of--" Jeb's voice echoed into his little headpiece. Damn it! I'm too late!
He slammed his hand on the table he was sitting at, with a ferocious glare on his face. He glared at that little "important note" on his computer screen. It informed him that someone had breached into the file "MAX-0110647." That file was Max's mind.
Someone had hacked into Max's mind. They could lead her anywhere, now. They could make her believe anything; hear anything; see anything.
Max was one of the strongest weapons he had ever created. And she was in the hands of a stranger.
Beware of what? I asked, just as an aching pain entered my head.
"AHHHHH!" I screamed as my hands flew to my temples. Damn it, what the flip is going on!?
This pain was even worse than the pain I had felt when the voice first got inside my head and I had ended up falling. Only this time, my wings were still in tact.
OR NOT!!! I shouted, as I felt myself plummeting to the ground…fast.
Oh God, so now what did I do, that deserved me to die!? And Voice, you mind telling me what the flock is going ONNNNN!!! I shouted as I gripped my head so hard, I thought it was actually going to pop.
"AHHHHHH! SOMEBODY HELP ME!!" I screamed. I opened my eyes and found myself about five feet from touching the ground. And just like that, someone had swooped me up and prevented me from suffering a horrible, horrible death. Someone with dark wings.
Fang.
As happy as I was knowing that I wasn't going to die, I was still suffering in pain, you know! Fang set me down on the ground.
"MAX!! TELL ME WHAT'S WRONG!!" Fang shouted, a little out of character-like for him.
"Fang…it hurts!" I said as I tried to squeeze the living flesh out of my head, just to make the pain go away! I immediately removed one hand off my head and searched for Fang's hand. He handed it to me, himself.
I was grinding my teeth now, squeezing all the blood out of Fang's hand, and hitting my head now. Voice, can't you make this pain go away!?
Of course I can, Max. But I don't really feel like it.
A/N: So what'd you think?? This was my first Maxy Ride story, so I'd say it was pretty suckish! Please, please, please tell me what you thought! Even if it sucked, at least let me know, 'cause if I don't get reviews, I lose motivation and my chapters get all suckish and I end up dropping the story. R & R, people and I'll update.
