Max P.O.V
I was hoping I would never have to hear that word again.
"Where?" I yelled to Angel.
"About eighty miles away. Max, be careful, there are a lot of them out there," she warned.
"I always am, sweetie," I murmured, bending down to put a sweeping smooch on her forehead. Fang and Iggy were braced by the entrance, prepared to spring out at my command. I ushered the kids to the back of the cave.
"Nudge, you're in charge. Don't fight unless they threaten your safety, understand?" I ordered. They nodded, even Nudge shut up for a while, in this situation.
"Don't make a sound." I warned. I motioned Fang and Iggy to jump out of the cave. We perched ourselves on top of the cliff, and waited for the blob of flying Erasers to show up. This was lame for the scientists. They were sending Erasers when they could be sending something worse, like Flyboys, or mechanical soldiers. I could see a black line on the horizon, but it was approaching much faster than any Eraser with patched-on wings, could. A tiny sliver of worry entered my conscience, what if these aren't Erasers? I thought. Oh, God, what if they weren't. Maybe they were something new. Something that could think.
I could feel Fang's eyes on me; he was thinking the same thing. Ig tugged at the end of my shirt.
"What if those aren't Erasers. I can hear them coming faster than normal." he said.
"I was wondering the same thing, Ig." I told him. Iggy started unloading bombs from his pockets.
"When did you make those?" I gasped.
"Just now, didn't you notice I had my hands in my pockets the whole time?" He said nonchalantly. Ugh, that kid.
"They're getting closer," I muttered to Iggy. Fang was tensing up, getting ready for the leap into combat. The blob came into focus. They looked human for Pete's sake. Except, they all looked like they were the same human.
They were clones. Clones of Omega.
