This is pretty much why the Flock can't go to concerts.

I don't own Maximum Ride or Last Resort by Papa Roach.


Chapter 1- Last Resort

"Over here!" I yelled back to the Flock, Angel shot past me through the door I was holding open. Followed by Nudge and Gazzy tugging Iggy along his finger threw Gazzy's belt loop. Finally Fang fell in and slammed the door closed behind him.

"Where are we?" Nudge asked sounding scared; I looked around seeing a sign that read 'Back stage' just a moment ago we had all been flying peacefully when a crowd of Erasers came out of flipping nowhere.

Now usually I don't run, or in this case fly from a fight but the first thing out of my mouth was "Let's get the heck out of here!" so here we are after landing in an alley and taking the first door we saw.

Iggy let go of Gazzy and walked to a set of metal stairs "do you guys hear that?" he asked "hear what?" I asked following him in the dark corridor we were all hiding in.

Right than Angel stiffened and looked back at the door. "We've got company!" she shouted.

Suddenly the door was busted down an Eraser licking its lips at us, I saw more behind him in a second they would be in here and we would be dog food.

"Split up!" I shouted to the Flock. Nudge and Angel both shot to the left going down a hall I hadn't noticed Fang picked up Gazzy and hurried in the opposite direction.

I was just about to go after Fang when Iggy shouted "Max!" gripping the railing looking around blind to what was going on. I grabbed Iggy's hand and rushed up the stairs we were by and started taking them three at a time. I tugged Iggy along as fast I could the Erasers had gone after us and they were hot on our tail.

After what felt like forever the stairs stopped and a flat long metal catwalk hanging in the air by weak metal beams opened up in front of me. I stumbled on to it and got about half way down it till I saw Flyboys coming on to it on the other side.

I skidded to a stop "other way!" I said pushing Iggy back to where we came from just to see laughing Erasers closing in on us.

Me and Iggy faced back to back I was facing the Flyboys, there wasn't enough room for us to stand next to each other let alone fight. I looked around there was too many things in the way to open our wings like stage lights and beams…where are we anyways?

"Um, Ig"

"Yeah?"

"We have a problem" he waited a second.

"Were trapped aren't we?"

"Pretty much"

"Oh…well in that case" he cupped his hands around his mouth and shouted at the Erasers.

"You Erasers can kiss my skinny white-!"

Iggy didn't have time to get his final word in because a Flyboy had shot at us "Ah!" I yelped ducking from the bullet that hit the metal beam just missing me.

I felt the catwalk sway under us and all the added weight from the Erasers the one in front looked down with wide eyes.

"Back up, back up!" he shouted they had just gotten off when another Flyboy shot and hit the other beam and with a couple bumps up and down the catwalk broke apart from under me and Iggy.

"AHHH!" we yelled falling to the ground and hitting a floor before we could open our wings

I sat up and I rubbed my head "wow that wasn't as painful as I thought it would be." I said feeling fine

"Maybe because our lead singer just broke your fall!" I looked up seeing a guy with a guitar around his shoulders face turning red under his glasses.

I looked down and saw a guy knocked out under us wearing a black leather jacket his hair spiked at different angles his microphone still in its stand

"Uh, sorry" Iggy said getting off of him with me, I nudged the body "he's out" I said.

"Dude!" the drummer yelled at his band, I grabbed Iggy's hand about to run off stage till I heard the roar of a crowd I looked out and noticed a big set of curtains separating us.

"I think were on a stage Max." Iggy said tugging my arm, I felt my stomach drop.

"Yeah you're on our stage!" Glasses guy shouted while pacing and muttering something like "damn crazy fans." The curtain pulled away and I almost feinted seeing a HUGE crowd screaming at the stage.

Glasses Guy got himself together and picked up the mike while another band member dragged the singer off stage.

"What's up Binghamton New York!" he shouted in the mike and got a loud response from the crowd "I said what's up New York!" he shouted again and the screams got loud. Iggy tried to say something to me but I didn't hear it "What?" I yelled but he couldn't hear me either still on center stage.

"Tonight we got two contest winners singing, let's hear it for-!" he paused and looked back at us "What are your names?" he asked my heart was pounding but Iggy had to go and open his mouth! "Iggy" he said I slapped his shoulder "Ouch Maximum!" Iggy said.

The guy nodded "I give you Iggy to the Maximum!" he yelled and got a verity of response from the crowd. "Just go with the music if you forget the song!" the guitarist said handing me the mike.

"What?" I screeched looking back at him Iggy scratched his head "uh, Max how many people are in the crowd?" he asked.

I looked out feeling my face drain of color "think of the biggest crowd you've ever imagined" he nodded "okay" I gripped the mike "times it by three" I said and felt light shine down on us the crowd screaming louder.

"Are there hot girls in this large crowd?" he asked I shot him a look that he couldn't see and shrugged because I'm too nervous to put up a fight "sure" I said "give me the mike" he took it the music started, luckily it was a song we both knew. (A/N this is Max, this is Iggy,This is them together)

Cut my life into pieces, this is my last resort
Suffocation, no breathing
Don't give a f*ck if I cut my arm bleeding

Iggy laughed away from the mike at me "nice line!" he said remembering when I cut my arm on the beach, I slapped him on the back of his head "just sing!" I shouted

This is my last resort
Cut my life into pieces, I've reached my last resort
Suffocation, no breathing
Don't give a f*ck if I cut my arm bleeding
Do you even care if I die bleeding?
Would it be wrong?
Would it be right?
If I took my life tonight?
Chances are that I might
Mudilation out of sight,
and I'm contemplating suicide

"We sound like we need some serious therapy, these lines are WAY to accurate." I said and looked over to see Iggy seriously thinking about something, uh-oh.

Cause I'm losing my sight, losing my mind
Wish somebody would tell me I'm fine
Losing my sight,
losing my mind
Wish somebody would tell me I'm fine

"I'm going to Crowd Surf!" he shouted my eyes went wide "Wait! What?" I called but it was too late he jumped in to the crowd and they carried him away. "Iggy!"…I can't believe he left me up here! No Way am I doing this alone! I shrugged off my windbreaker.

I never realized I was spread too thin
Till it was too late and I was empty within
Hungry, feeding on my chaos and living in sin

I snapped open my wings and ran off stage the crowd was silent for a second than they screamed louder.

Downward spiral, where do I begin?

I found Iggy having the time of his life with people holding him up I shoved the mike to him "Sing!" I shouted he took it and the crowd put him down while he started singing.

It all started when I lost my mother
No love for myself and no love for another
Searching to find a love upon a higher level

Iggy brushed my wings and instead of taking off his wind break he broke right through it! Iggy spread his wings wide enough to give us room in the crowd.

Finding nothing but questions and devils

I jumped in the air getting shocked responses from people who thought the wings were fake and hyper sped back to the stage snatching another mike right before my line.losing my mind
Wish somebody would tell me I'm fine
Losing my sight,
losing my mind
Wish somebody would tell me I'm fine

Cause I'm losing my sight,

I looked out and saw Iggy flying low above the crowd; he got near screeching girls and flew slower, what a creep!

Nothing's alright, nothing is fine
I'm running and I'm crying
I'm crying, I'm crying
I'm crying, I'm crying

"Hey Maximum!" I looked back and saw the guitarist yelling to me "Fly!" he shouted. Instead of getting mad I figured this guy knew what he was doing and ran off stage again, this time the crowd ducked.

I ... can't ... go ... on ... living ... this ... way

Cut my life into pieces, this is my last resort
Suffocation, no breathing
Don't give a f*ck if I cut my arm bleeding

I swooped by Iggy "lets give'em a show, formation C!" he called I rolled my eyes and flew to the opposite side of the crowd.

Would it be wrong?Would it be right?
If I took my life tonight?
Chances are that I might
Mudilation out of sight,
and I'm contemplating suicide

The crowd went banana's when we started circling them on opposite ends , I noticed people reaching their hands up and put mine down to high five them all.

Cause I'm losing my sight, losing my mind
Wish somebody would tell me I'm fine
Losing my sight
, losing my mind
Wish somebody would tell me I'm fine

I looked over and saw Iggy do a tuck on to stage, what a show off. I turned to the stage and right threw the center of the crowd going back to stage and did a tuck for the heck of it.

Nothing's alright, nothing is fine
I'm running and I'm crying

A Flyboy dropped down between us pointing his gun all crazily at the crowd Iggy felt him land and nodded to me, we jumped to attack him.

I ... CAN'T ... GO ... ON ... LIVING ... THIS ... WAY

Iggy punched the Flyboy's face while I swept my leg under its feet, it fell apart like a pile of can's, when it start putting itself back together we kicked it towards the raging crowd.

Can't go on ... living this way

Flyboy parts got all over the crowd but they seemed to like it oddly.

Nothing's all...

Iggy and I punched our fists in the air on the last line back to back.

Right!

The crowd started chanting "Iggy to the Maximum!" I was looking up breathlessly and noticed menacing smiles looking down at us.

"Iggy"

"Yes?"

"RUN!" I yelled running off in the direction I was facing Iggy going the other way going back stage again.


R&R

Any song suggestions for the rest of the flock would be nice!
