Circus Acts
Chapter 6
"We can't stay here forever, so we're thinking of leaving for a while then coming back. I wish we could stay here, though..." Iggy sighed.
"Well, where do you want to go?" I sat next to him, resting my head on his shoulder.
"Uh, I never really thought of that. Probably, huh, an optometrist." he chuckled.
"An optometrist? Wha-oh, yeah. Forgot, you're blind..." I smiled sheepishly. He chuckled again.
"And where would you go?" he asked, wrapping his arm around my shoulder.
I blushed, "Anywhere with you is fine."
"Aww, isn't that sweet." a new voice chimed in. My blood froze in my veins. I looked in the direction of where the voice came, "Hello, X-7."
Erasers, shit! How did they find me!
"What do you want, dog-breath." I snapped, standing up in a defensive pose.
"To terminate you."
I looked over at the Flockees again, they were undisturbed in their slumber. Iggy stood up angrily and tried to punch the Eraser. I held him back.
"Well, how are you, 7? I haven't seen you since the arena. I see you've met some of the normal mutants. The group was one of Jeb's favorites." the eraser smiled evilly.
"I was fine until you showed up. Oh, and it is a nice group, maybe that's why Jeb liked them the most." I snarled. I saw Nudge stir in her sleep. Oh, God, no. Time for the Nudge Channel to turn on.
"Good morning everyone! I slept really really REALLY good last night! I dreamt I was a unicorn and everyone else were pegasi and I was awesome and their overlord and they were all like 'Give Overlord Nudge shoes' and 'Give Overlord Nudge gift cards' and- OH MY GOD!" Nudge opened her eyes and looked at the Eraser.
"Nudge I presume?" the Eraser walked towards her.
"NUDGE!" I yelled and charged at the Eraser. I smacked my head into where the-sun-don't-shine and he doubled over. Iggy doubled over, too, but laughing, not in pain.
"You'll pay for that..." the Eraser croaked before standing up and throwing a punch at me.
I grabbed his leg with my tail and flipped him over, the punch landed on my arm instead. A satisfying-for-him crunch was heard. I stumbled back, but Iggy was there to catch me. I kicked him while he was down then lifted him with my tail. I punched him on both sides of his head right above his ears and he blacked out.
That was easy. I chuckled to myself.
Nudge ran over to me, clinging to my good arm, "Where are Max and Fang? Are they making out in the woods or something like that? They make a really cute couple, but we really need them now because Erasers are after us and I miss them and I'm really scared!" she started sobbing.
I wrapped my arms around her and held her close, "It's okay, Nudge. No one is going to hurt you. Now, go wake up Angel and Gazzy and tell them we have to go, okay sweetie?" She nodded and got them.
In the meantime, Iggy was feeling my arm to see how seriously it was damaged. I blushed and let him.
"Okay, it's broken here, possibly a torn ligament, bruising and swelling will be evident soon, soft skin..." he didn't let his hand leave my arm. I thought it was cute, Nudge gave us a weird look.
Angel walked over to me, placing her hand firmly in mine as we flew away, leaving the Eraser on the beach.
"Max! Fang! Where are you!" I yelled, looking for any sign of them. Angel held my hand the entire flight. We kept calling for Fang and Max and looking for them, but to no avail. Thhose teo disappeared off the face of the Earth together.
A few large birds approached us. They were clumsy and kept looking at each other. They were all deformed-
Wait a second, those aren't birds! They're-
"Flying Erasers!" Angel screamed, gripping my hand tighter.
"IGGY! GAZZY! FLANK THE SIDES OF ANGEL AND NUDGE! NUDGE! ABOVE ANGEL! EVERYONE BEHIND ME! FIND A PARTNER AND STICK TO 'EM!" I screamed, getting into position.
I pulled X-9's heart out of my pocket and clutched it to my heart, careful not to drop it. I put it away as soon as an Eraser approached me.
I quickly punched him in the nose and kicked his wing, watching his wing droop and his whole body fall.
"HELP!" I turned my head and watched an Eraser grab Angel and slap her.
"Oh, you didn't just do that, you BASTARD!" I screamed, flying over and punching him in the face. He groaned and let go of Angel. I punched him again and he fell to the ground.
"XERA! BEHIND YOU!" I heard Nudge yell.
I turned around to be met with a fist to the face. I groaned, being pushed backwards. Another Eraser took this chance of my weakness and twisted my not-fully-healed wings. I let out a cry and fell to the ground, I smacked into the dirt with a loud crack! and my whole world was black.
Oooh, cliffhanger!
