Chapter 6

"Dive, dive, dive!" I yelled, and we crisscrossed, flipped over, and dove at full speed.

We pulled up and whirled to face our attackers, that were, I realized, not Flyboys, they were not robots, but living, breathing, killers. They smiled evilly at us; I knew that the swarm would be on my flock and I in seconds. Dylan came up behind me and I didn't tell him to go away, because we needed another fighter if we wanted to last more than ten seconds.

The new flyboys now had us surrounded. After getting closer look, I realized how vicious and living these creatures were. They were almost like a mixture of eraser and flyboy.

Their teeth, scratch that, their fangs, gnashed and their dog-like eyes glared at us, they were slowly gliding closer.

"Okay guys," I muttered to my flock, "Remember, they're bigger than us, that's a disadvantage in the air, we're small and quick. Do with that what you will. It'll be ok."

I heard them nod silently.

"Your plans are futile, and your fighting will be in vain." Said the eraserboy right in front of me. "Maximum Ride, join us now and none shall be harmed. Join us."

I realized that it was only about two feet away from me. "Like heck I'm going with you!"

Then I lunged at him, chopping him right above the wing joint like I'd been taught, his wings folded in ad he plummeted to the ground.

"I am one of many, you will lose." He thundered as he fell to his death.

"One of many, one of many." The other eraserboys drawled.

The eraserboys watched their brother fall and go splat on the ground below. Then, snarling with rage, all the now ninety-nine were-wolfs-with-wings-gone-bad charged us.

We all tensed for battle and charged them back. But the were to big and smashed into us with so much force the wind was knocked out of me. I rolled, so that I was horizontally facing the clouds above, inhaling deeply and dodging eraserboys as I went.

"Drop!" I shouted to my flock. And we all folded in our wings and plummeted forty-feet, snapping them back out and catching ourselves.

I wasn't sure how smart these eraserboys were, that's why I had my flock drop, because if the dogs know about the wing-joint-weakness and they use it, then the fall won't be fatal to my flock.

We hovered vertically in the air, waiting to again be joined by the enemy, our only chance was to fight them off, they were too fast for Gazzy and Nudge, if we were to try to fly away, they'd just catch up to us again.

Two eraserboys flew up behind and in front of me, I shifted to a horizontal position, cracking the one behind me with a bone-breaking kick to the ribs and landing a power-packed punch to the gut on the other, both dropped to the ground to catch their breath.

I heard Nudge shriek, then she was falling wings tucked, arms flailing; she fell maybe 20 feet before hitting the ground.

"Nudge!" I screamed, chasing after her as she fell.

"I'm fine." She called as I landed next to her. She winced as she touched her ribs.

"Stay here."

"No way!"

"STAY HERE." I ordered.

"Fine."

I launched back up into the sky, prying and eraserboy off of Iggy and bashing the monster in the face; he shrieked in pain and dropped like a rock.

Then Gazzy was falling, just like Nudge. I followed him to the ground.

"Gazzy, are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm ok."

"Good, stay here with Nudge."

"No-"

"DON'T ARGUE JUST DO IT!"

"Ok, Max, I will."

"I'll be back."

I shot back up, expecting the fight to be swirling around me, but everything was still, and the eraserboys were all smiling at me with a malicious look in their eye. I heard a grunt and whirled around to see Dylan and Iggy being contained by four eraserboys each.

"Dylan! Iggy!" I lunged forward to at least attempt to rescue them, but instead I was grabbed by the ankle and dragged backwards into the smelly, vise-like arms of an eraserboy.

"Where do you think you're goin' Maximum?"

"You let me go you lab rat gone wrong! Or… or…"

My brain was starting to feel fuzzy, I felt a small prick of a needle enter my skin and some sort of drug entered my body, whatever it was it sure packed one heck of a punch.

"Or… or… or WHAT?" Snarled my captor.

"Max!" Faintly, I heard Nudge and Gazzy calling my name…

I looked at Dylan and Iggy dazedly, and the last thing I remember seeing is them being knocked out via a bash to the head, then they were dropped to the ground below, I knew the fall wouldn't kill them.

Thank god. I thought hazily.

And then I passed out in the arms of my stinky, hairy enemy.


Hey hey!

As you can see things are starting to get intense with the flock! Max has been abducted, if you don't already know that.

It's been two days since I updated last, sorry if that made any of you readers out there mad, but I hope that you like this chapter. The next one is going to be very short, but I should have it up by tonight or tomorrow. If I don't, then I am apologizing in advance.

Please review! Even if you don't have a fanfiction account you can review! It would make me super happy!

Thanks!
