Chapter 2- How why and how

A high pitch whine filled Iggy's ears. He crumpled over the cave entrance in pain. Black, grey and more black flirted its way through his fingers. Panic and pain whirled around him. He groaned as the whine got louder.

"Max!" He called in pain. There was no reply.

Fang opened his eyes to the sound of Iggy's groans. Gazzy sighed and sat up rubbing his eyes in irritation. Angel however shot bolt up right, sending Total who was curled up on her chest flying into Gazzy.

"Oww!" He shouted and turned to glare down at Total.

Fang got up and moved over to Iggy. Angel was right behind him.

"No!" She shrieked. Iggy winced. With barely a thought she shot passed Iggy and Fang and bolted outside.

"Drop them!" She ordered her mind was in a frenzy. The order was ignored because she just wasn't calm enough.

Instead she was laughed at and scooped up casually by a flying Eraser. Fang and Gazzy came to investigate.

When they saw the remaining Erasers had Angel curled up and unconscious Fang cursed and Gazzy remembered when this had happened before.

He opened his wings and flew vertically upwards right at the Eraser who held Angel's limp form.

The Eraser laughed, and casually knocked Gazzy back down to earth. The Gasman skidded across the hard ground and slammed into the side of the cave. Fang counted them and stayed where he was.

For some reason they weren't attacking them.

"See you round freak!" One of the Erasers smiled and saluted Fang. They all laughed as if this was the best joke they had ever heard and did 180 degree turn. They flew off into the night leaving them alone.

Total having gained his senses back ran angrily passed Iggy who was sweating and breathing heavily in relief.

"Alright what happened!" He growled almost dog like at Gazzy. Gazzy sat up. The world spun.

"Why did you wake me up for?" He demanded.

Fang turned wearily. "Shut it Total." He said quietly. Total froze at the quiet anger in his voice.

"They got my sister…again." Gazzy said bravely fighting back tears.

Iggy moaned. "They…they got Angel? Whose they?" He asked leaning against the stone wall. Fang helped Gazzy stand.

"Dumb flying stupid Erasers!" The Gasman spat. Iggy frowned.

Fang checked for injuries on Gazzy and found a nice big lump starting to develop on his head and some scratches along his arms and legs, it was nothing serious.

"They got more then just Angel." Fang said while he examined Gazzy. Iggy looked up in the direction his voice had come from.

"What is that supposed to mean?" He asked suddenly listening harder for Nudges continuous shatter or Max's dry sarcasm. Neither reached his ears.

"Max and Nudge aren't here." He confirmed Iggy's growing fear.

Gazzy looked around. "Maybe they just went after them?" He questioned. Fang stood up and started pacing.

"No they wouldn't be that stupid." He said after a second.

"Akila!" Total howled form outside. The three boys jumped.

"Oh no!" He went on shouting. "Who could have done this to a fine a creature as this…" He was cut off by Gazzy clamping his mouth together.

"Thank god." Iggy mumbled.

Fang just went back to pacing.

"How do they keep finding us?" Iggy asked.

"That was too easy." Fang thought at loud.

"What do you mean?" Gazzy asked looking at Iggy who had his head cocked to one side deep in thought.

"Yeah it was." Iggy agreed.

They went on like this for five minuets. Gazzy sat there with a bloody headache completely lost. He took a deep breath.

"Will someone tell me what's going on!" He shouted. Iggy and Fang turned to look at him. Total ignored them and kept silently crying over Akila.

"Them getting Max and the girls. It was just to easy!" Iggy pointed out.

Gazzy frowned. "But…"

"No something is happening, they somehow magically overpower Max and Nudge, who have defeated twice as many as before, they keep tracking us…guys this is serious I want to know exactly how the bloody do it!" Fang had worked himself up into a nice rage and banged his fist against the stone cave wall. Iggy stayed silent and Gazzy blinked stupidly.

"Who cares how they did it lets just get them back…" He said as if it were obvious. Iggy suddenly sucked in air.

"That's just what they want us to do!" He noted suddenly.

Gazzy looked at him as if he had gone crazy.

"Well of course that's what…"

Fang cut him off by exclaiming more revelations. In the end Gazzy gave up and waited. When they had finished his mind worked methodically to get them back from the brink of crazy.

"Okay guys…" They both turned sharply to look at him as if they had forgotten he had ever existed. "We have to get them back because we just have to. We can't leave them."

Iggy and Fang looked at each other.

"We weren't going to." Iggy ventured at last. Gazzy growled at them in frustration.

"Then what are we going to do?" He demanded.

"Track them, follow them and track them and find out how their doing it to us."

"But how will we do that?"

"We explore every inch of this cliff face and find their base. Then we follow that." Fang said grimly.

Gazzy frowned. "We get to blow stuff up?"

"Yeah we'll work that into it." Iggy nodded his aporvel and Gazzy cocked his head to one side.

"Would Max approve?" He continued. Iggy and Fang exchanged glances wondering where he was going with this. Total continued to howl.

"Probably not." Fang shrugged and The Gasman smiled.

"Then I'm in!" He laughed suddenly and fluttered ten feet in the air. Iggy smiled conspiratorially "Good to know he's on our side."
