Chapter 7: A Paralyzing Surprise
I flew over the towering white building, ready to descend and kick some serious ass. But alas, . . . no one was there.
Where the hell is that lady? Did she already know that she failed and left? If she did then she probably took a tracker with her.....Da-
Wait.....
There she is! Along with Jeb, too, that son of a 13itch. Hmph, let me go down there and smack that grin off their faces. I readied myself for a nosedive.
No, Max. I think you should stay out of sight and see if they really think your dead. Furthermore, she could lead you toward the flock, reasoned the voice.
I growled. I hated it when the voice used logic. I sighed. Alright then. Max the hybrid spy it is.
I then flew a little lower to hear what they were saying.
".....can't wait for you to bring them, so I'll come with you," said Blondie.
"Yes," said Jeb, "Of course."
"Are you sure that Max is dead?"
I saw Jeb smile. Thank god to super eyesight.
"I'm positive. The plan was foolproof, so we left early. There is no way she could have survived our super eraser."
Hmmmm...so that's what they call it. I like doomsdog much better, don't you think? Looks like they think I'm dead. Now, about the flock thing....
"Do you have the location of the other hybrids?"
"Ah, yes. Luckily for us, they seem to be in one of our schools."
Blondie raised an eyebrow. I, however, starting panicking. Dammit, I have to hurry.
"Make sure to tell the people their not to hurt them."
What? I paused in the air. What is she-
She grinned maliciously.
"I have something in mind for them."
Heh, same old same old. Now, I know where they are... Boy, is Blondie up for a surprise....
I set my wings and flew faster than I ever flew before, taking cover in a cloud.
I'm coming guys. Just wait a little longer.
I struggled to keep my eyes open, my conscious already slipping in and out. I bit back a groan as pain surged through me anew.
How the hell could I have let this happen! Dammit, Max left me to protect them!
I struggled more against the straps on my bleeding wrists and ankles. I started to breathe in but winced. Looks like I broke a rib...
I surveyed the room around me as I went limp yet again. They all went black a while back but they were atleast in better shape than I was. My head went down on the metal table. My jaw set as I recalled what brought us onto this.
I'm sorry Max...
We were running to a window when, suddenly, a sudden wall of erasers hit us all. We fought like there was no tomorrow, almost winning like we always do.
Then, something unexpected hit us. It made all but me and Iggy fall unconscious, but Iggy was slipping as I tried to take in our new oppenent, protecting the blacked out bodies at the same time. First, I noticed three things:
1- It was huge.
2- It was HUGE.
3- And, it looked like an eraser.
The thing then crouched as if about to pounce. I could have ran and escaped, but I could never leave the flock. I let my fists go down in grim defeat before the thing even leapt. I looked it square in the eye, then back down at each of the flock's faces. I sighed.
I'm sorry Max...
I was brought back from my thoughts as the door flew open, revealing a group of whitecoats. I grunted internally. The best chance for escape and I can't move a bit. The damned whitecoats paralyzed us with something.
They removed our straps and led us down through the hallway on stretchers. I then decided to ask the turds where they were taking us, feeling completely humiliated. It was really hard being me and not being able to protect your family.
"Where are you taking us?" I asked in an astonishingly unwavering voice.
Surprisingly enough, they answered me.
"A more comfortable place."
I deadpanned. What. The. Fuck. (A/N: Review, Review, Review)
The other whitecoats then started conversing as I laid there with, if without the circumstances, what could have been a really amusing look. I then decided to listen in on their talk.
"Should we really put them with prisoner 1-7-8?"
"Its the most comfortable room in here. You heard boss, keep them unharmed."
The unsure whiteout agreed reluctantly.
My thoughts started racing. Unharmed? Wha-
"Hey, did you guys hear about how the first super eraser was used?"
Super eraser? Is that what they called that thing. Heh, doomsdog would fit much better.
"Yeah, they used it to discard of a runaway experiment. Wasn't one of the bird hybrids?"
I grew alert. A bird hybrid? Could it be.....
"Yeah, it escaped a lot of times, and the higher ups decided to get rid of it."
"What was it called again?"
The said whitecoat pondered for a minute.
"Hmmm...I think I was Maximum something or the other."
My breath caught in my thought, my face twisting into horror. No, no....This can't be....Max....she can't....
One of them started laughing.
"Well, who cares about it's name? Its dead my now anyway. No one can survive a super eraser. These experiments here only lived because the super was under the orders not to kill them."
My vision got blurry...No....
Max's face swam through my head.....To our last moment together....
Our last kiss...
As I started to drown in grief as they took us to what was obviously underground. Then they dumped us all into a dimly lit bedroom. The landing was a bit embarrassing, not being able to move and all, but I was beginning to get the feeling in my fingers.
After a few moments, I sat the rest of the sleeping flock in comfortable positions, my head still in a bungled mess.
Max....
My breath hitched as sat against a wall, bringing my knees to my chest.
Suddenly, I heard a fumbling on the other side of the dark room. I got up and readied myself in a fighting position. I heard and saw the light blink on.
A person was standing near the light switch. My eyes grew wide, my jaw went slack, and my fists went limp as I looked at the person before me.
My barely managed to stutter out my words.
"Y-you're.......Y-you're-"
MWAHAHAHAH! CLIFFHANGER! What do you think? Any predictions as to who this mysterious person is? PLEASE REVIEW!
