Chapter 1- Fang MIA
Yay! This is my first fanfic, so be gentle. Lol
For those of you wondering: MIA stands for 'missing in action
Its army lingo for a soldier that goes missing during a fight.
So, without further ado- I present chapter 1 of Maximum Ride: The Twilight Zone!
Enjoy!
-Max-
I smiled slightly and closed my eyes, enjoying the wind through my wings. It was times like this that made being a mutant avian-human almost worth it. Of course,
the feeling couldn't last long.
"Flyboys at six o'clock!" Iggy shouted. "It sounds like at least fifteen of them." He added after a moment.
Back to reality. "Ok, you guys know what to do! Let's show these flyboys who their messing with!" I shouted over the wind as I turned around. I quickly judged the situation: Fifteen flyboys, against six kids, and two dogs. Not even close to a fair fight. In fact, I almost felt sorry for these flyboys.
The flyboys met us head on and the battle began as I kicked one in the neck and it spun backwards. Somehow, it didn't drop into the forest below- in fact it came back at me. Itex must have made some improvements. Not a problem, I thought as a kicked him again. This time the flyboy dropped like a rock and crashed into the trees. Ouch.
But I had no time to dwell on his pain because another flyboy took his place. He was down in less than a minute though. I took a quick look around. Iggy and the Gasman were blowing several flyboys into bits with their homemade bombs, Angel was happily controlling a flyboy's mind and was using it to attack its own kind; a little too happy about it if you ask me. She gasped and I saw her concentration slip, but just as quickly she was back to normal. Figuratively speaking, of course. Nudge was discussing the latest fashions to an attacking flyboy while she kicked its butt, and Fang was battling one while carrying Akila in the makeshift harness thing, and winning by the looks of it. I concentrated on the unlucky flyboy in front of me. It was droning something about surrendering… blah blah blah. I sighed as he fell to the ground. They never learn.
Bang! I looked up at the sound, almost like a gunshot… "Fang? You alright?"
"Fine," He grunted. He was holding his side, and his expression seemed pained. I frowned, and almost went over to check on him when a flyboy came out of nowhere and punched me, hard.
"Bad idea." I told him, right before a spinning kick to his chest broke several of his bones. I watched silently as he fell into the trees, breaking several branches, and more body parts from the sound of it.
The fight between us and the flyboys continued on for a few minutes. Soon though, the flock and I were once again the only things in the sky.
"Report!" I yelled out to my flock, checking myself over for injuries. No broken bones that I could tell, which was good.
"I'm fine, just tired." Nudge informed me.
"I'm okay." Angel said.
"I'm good." Gazzy said.
"I'm blind!" Iggy shouted in mock surprise. I rolled my eyes but said nothing.
"I'm hungry and could go for some coffee" Total, our dog, chimed in from Angel's backpack.
I paused, waiting. But there was nothing. "Fang, are you okay?" I asked. Still nothing. "Fang, report!" I shouted looking around for him. Now I was panicking, as the image of Fang holding his side after what had sounded like a gunshot came back to me. I couldn't lose Fang. I wouldn't lose him.
"Oh crap."
Ok, Ok, I know there wasn't any Twilight in this chapter. I couldn't resist starting out with a fight scene. But I promise that Edward and the Cullens will be in the next chapter! It is mostly written and should be out soon.
Thanks for reading, R&R please!
