Chapter Three: Crash and Burn
The next morning once we were all awake and ready to go, we checked out of the hotel, gathered all of our stuff, and took to the allyway behind the hotel. "Alright, U and A." I told them, and Angel took to the air first, followed by Gazzy, Nudge, and Iggy. I looked at Fang as an indication for him to go ahead of me, but he said, "After you," with a smirk and I rolled my eyes slightly before unfurling my fourteen-foot wings and leaping into the air. No one saw us, I was sure. It was a Saturday, and just breaking dawn, so I seriously doubted anyone was dumb enough to get out this early.
We got in our usual formation in the air; Fang below me, Iggy to my left, Gazzy to my right, and Angel and Nudge behind me a little bit. There was nothing that could wake you up better than flying through the cold air...and flying straight through a cloud and getting wet.
Fang and Gazzy laughed their heads off when they saw me emerge from the white mist, my bangs sticking to my forehead.
"Oh, ha ha, very funny." I said dryly, and looked straight ahead, ignoring them until their laughter finally calmed down.
"Being blind sucks...I wanted to see that..." I heard Iggy mutter, and Angel and Nudge giggled girlishly behind me.
So, Voice, anything you want to get off your chest? Cause I just might not be in the mood later to hear it. I thought dryly.
Do not get an attitude with me, Max. I just might have to ground you.
I rolled my eyes. Yeah, right. That's the lamest thing I've ever heard you say, Jeb. You can't ground me. I'd sure as hell love to see you try though. That would be my 'Laugh of the Day'.
Max... The voice said as a warning.
Getting on your nerves?
No.
I scoffed. I'm sooo sure.
Focus. You have to--
SAVE THE WORLD! Yeah, I know, thanks for the freaking news update. What else is freakin' new?
You have a duty. Don't forget about it.
I don't even know how to do this!! I'm just flying around aimlessly up here. I thought back, beginning to get majorly annoyed.
Just follow whatever instincts you may get.
But what if I don't know what those instincts mean?
The Voice didn't say anything. Greeaat. That was just what I needed. I made a loud, frustrated sound and Fang whipped his head around to look at me.
"What?" I asked, scowling at him.
"What the heck is wrong with you?" He asked, clearly offended by my tone.
"Nothing." I said shortly and looked away from him. After a moment, I looked back down at him to see if he was still staring at me, but his eyes were focused ahead of him. Why did he always have to do that? I mean--
"Flyboys, ten o' clock!"
We all whipped around to see twenty or so Flyboys heading towards us at their top speed. Angel and Nudge gave a small shriek of fear to see so many, but that was basically nothing compared to what happened in Germany.
"Alright guys, you know what to do. Be careful." I told them and took flying charge at the first one, and saw that these looked a bit different than the previous Flyboys. These had wings, nearly the size of my own, and had smaller legs and arms. This would be a piece of cake, I thought. I ducked under it as it swung its arm at me and went behind it, snapping it's wings. It made a strange, strangled kind of noise, and fell to it's 'death' four hundred feet below into a large lake.
"Do exactly what I did! It's easier and faster!" I yelled to the others and they obeyed. For something so bit, these new Flyboys were dumb as hell. They didn't even know what was going on! I think Itex needed to remanufacture or else we would take all the other Itex labs down before they knew it. Actually, I hoped they didn't manufacture more. It would only take more time and patience, and God know I don't have either of those traits to spare.
Pretty soon, all twenty-three Flyboys were drowning the large lake so far down below us. We flew away, completely unscathed. Or so I thought.
I began getting dizzy, my world beginning to spin. In front of me, I saw Fang's eyes wide and drop down to my side near my ribs. I put my hand there to a spot that seemed to be wet, and when I next looked at my fingers, they were crimson with my blood.
"Oh no.." was all I was able to say before my eyes rolled back in my head, and I heard Nudge scream before I went unconscious.
Fang's POV
I watched for a moment, stunned, as Max began dropping towards the ground at an incredibly scary speed. I snapped into action and dived down to her. It was only one hundred and fiften feet, I estimated until she hit the ground. I had to get to her...it couldn't end like this. It just couldn't.
I tucked my wings in, trying to drop quicker than she could, trying to get to her. I was getting closer to her...so close. I reached out my hand, and caught hold of her upper arm and then unfurled my wings, clutching her to me, my heart beating out of control. It had been only been fifty feet to the ground before I caught her, and we were now beginning to gain altitude.
I wanted to land to I could put her down--Max wasn't the lightest person in the world. If she heard me say that, she would have punched me. The thought brought a smile to my face.
"Guys, let's land in that small forest over there!" Nudge, Angel, Iggy, and Gazzy came flying over as quickly as they could. Nudge's eyes were wide with fear.
I realized why she seemed so freaked out, and felt Max's blood seeping through my T-shirt. I had to get her bandaged up, or else the consequences would not be good. Not at all.
You guys all know what to do to get another chapter REVIEW PLEASE
