Hi Everyone!
This is TrulyTrying here. This is my first FanFiction.

This takes place after Code in the Virals series and probably after the first/second MR book. (AKA No Dylan and there are still Erasers)

THIS HAS MAJOR SPOILERS FOR CODE! DO NOT READ THIS BEFORE CODE!

Hope you like it

Charleston, SC

I turned and met Coops big, begging eyes.

"You want it?" I asked him shaking the Frisbee around. Coop barked at me. I grinned and threw the Frisbee as far as I could. Coop sprinted up the beach only to find that Shelton had caught the disk. I couldn't help laughing when Coop jumped up and tackled Shelton to get the disk.

It was a beautiful day, really; the sun was shining, not a cloud in the sky, and I could see a flock of birds far above us.

"Hey Tor." I heard behind me.

I stopped laughing.

"Uh, hey Ben." I hated the nervousness in my voice.

Recently things between Ben and I had been, awkward, to say the least.

I still hadn't forgiven Ben for lying during the Gamemaster fiasco. I still refused to think about what he said about us.

Ben Blue still had a lot of making up to do in my book.

Despite my feelings the pack tried to meet in the bunker whenever possible. This was to make up for the time we didn't se Ben at school.

That's were we were now.

"Hey, now that we're all hear why don't we practice flaring?" I suggested when Hi and Shelton came over to greet Ben.

I got various levels of enthusiasm at my question but no one protested. They're learning.

I closed my eyes and focused. SNAP.

I looked up to see Hi's golden eyes looking into mine. A second later came Shelton but Ben kept his eyes closed.

The three of us exchanged glances and slowly snuck away from Ben. If he didn't flare soon he would get grouchy.

Hi stole the Frisbee back from Coop and chucked it to Shelton. He caught it and dodged Coops attempts to get it back.

"Hey Tory catch!" He called down the beach.

Shelton threw the Frisbee but halfway trough the motion he jerked his head towards the sky.

The Frisbee flew out of his hand and proceeded to hit Ben smack on the face.

Ben's now golden eyes locked onto Shelton. Ben started towards his attacker with a fierce expression.

But Shelton was still focused on the sky.

"Hey guys what's that?" He asked. All of us, including Ben, froze and looked where he was pointing.

High above us the flock of birds I had noticed earlier seemed to be fighting or something.

"Holy shit." I heard Hi mutter.

"What is it?" I asked him. Hi had the best vision out of all of us.

"Shelton how'd you notice that?" Hi asked, avoiding my question.

"I thought I heard someone yell, but it must've been those birds huh?"

Hi continued to murmur to himself so I forced him to look me in the eyes.

"What. Is. It." I said forcefully. Something about this was bugging me.

"I mean, it looks like birds, but they're huge. And I mean HUGE." He responded, " Plus there are also some other things, they don't look like birds. They are fighting the giant birds."

"You mean that somesort of giant birds are fighting giant non-birds that can somehow fly?" Ben mocked.

"Yes. Look the biggest birds in the world are Albatrosses and those live in the southern hemisphere. In North America swans are the biggest, and those are no swans." Hi recited.

"Then what are they?" Shelton asked.

"That is a good question." I replied without taking my eyes off the scene above.

High above

Battles to the death can be really annoying sometimes. Like now for instance.

Now you may be asking, but Max don't you love punching an erasers face in?, and trust me I do. But when there are only ten erasers to fight...well that's just a nuisance. I would thing that the School would have figured out it takes a hella a lot more than ten erasers to take us down.

We were somewhere over a beach in the southern United States when they came. It was a perfect day for flying; no clouds and little wind. Of course we had to be attacked 'cause enjoying the weather would be too much to ask.

I'll admit I probably should have been more observant but I was watching a group of kids play down below. They looked so happy down there and I wondered if the kids would ever get achance to do that. I mean just relax, not be on the run. They're good kids and they deserve at hint of a childhood.

So, naturally, I never saw them coming.

I was alerted to the attack by Nudge's cry.

I turned quickly to see Nudge spin around and deliver a vicious kick to the Eraser that had grabbed her.

There were about fifteen of the flying Erasers coming at us. I grinned.

This is too easy.

Fang flew up beside me and I noticed he was grinning too. Or as close to grinning as he gets (AKA Mona Lisa smile).

The two of us then launched ourselves into the fight.

It went quickly.

Fang and I beat six of the Erasers to a pulp while Gazzy, Nudge and Iggy took out another six. Angel took control of two Erasers and they ganged up on the others.

The entire debacle took less than three minutes.

"Uhh, Max?"

I turned quickly to the owner of the voice.

"Angel?" I asked.

She responded by pointing down below us. I followed her finger and..

"Oh shit."

"GAZZY! NO SWEARING!" I yelled but mentally I was agreeing with him.

A couple of the Erasers had landed on the beach below instead of in the ocean. That was no big deal, just have to go down and chuck them in the water.

But remember those kids I saw? Yeah, they were still on the beach and appeared to be examining an Eraser.

"What sort of kids don't run away when strange creatures fall out of the sky?!" I vented.

"Whadda we do now?" Angel asked.

My choice was made for me when one of the Erasers on the beach stopped being so dead.

I didn't respond to Angel, I just sent Fang a look saying, I know you don't like this but what other choice is there?.

And I dove.
