Chapter 10
-Fang-
I woke up around two in the morning. My head hurt and my Ma was gone. Man, why couldn't I have stopped them? I slammed my fist to the ground. Though pain quickly shot through my muscles and my knuckles were bleeding. Finally I got up and reached the trees where Max and I had arrived. I took off and headed home to the flock to tell them the bad news. When I got there Iggy was up waiting on us. I noticed Iggy get confused when he only heard one set of footsteps. I told him what happened and he was in shock. We quickly woke the others and I told them what happened. Angel started crying. Finally when everyone had gotten over the shock we ran outside and started flying towards the School. Every time I think about that place I get shivers. Well you would too if you grew up there in dog crates, physically and mentally tortured, and had to watch experiments die in the most inhumane ways possible. Now Max was being taken away from us and having to go there. We flew none stop until we hit a really bad thunder storm. We had to land and walk on foot. Let's just saw flying in the sky with lighting all around is not the best idea.
"Fang I don't think they have gotten Max to the School yet. The flyboys are metal and if they were to fly they would be fried. Plus I can hear Max's thoughts", Angel said. Sometime that girl can act three times her own age.
"Ok then lets pick up the pace. If we beat them to the School we will have a better chance of getting Max back". In ten minutes we could see off into the horizon the flyboys having to trudge through the storm. Yes we were going to make it. We all started running to the flyboys. Turns out we were only two mile away from the School so we had to hurry. Though there were about two hundred flyboys we still had the element of surprise. We quietly snuck up and attacked them. I was taken on about four at a time. Though through the corner of my eye I saw Iggy had another four, while Angel was taking on two. Nudge was doing the best though she was taking ten at a time. Using her magnetism powers she was ripping the flyboys in half. Gazzy was sneaking around the battle that was totally unlike him. Then I saw where he was headed. There were about ten flyboys guarding a sack which was about the size of Max. I was suddenly knocked out of my thoughts by a flyboys lunging at me. I quickly dodged and while it went flying past me I hammer fisted down on the end of his spine where the flaw was. The flyboy quickly fell apart and I turned back to the other three. I quickly side kicked one in the gut. It staggered back just enough time for me to puck it in the face. The head cracked and rolled to the ground. The other two started punching at me I quickly dodged again and was able to move into a passion behind their back. I did two quick front kicks to weak points before they could reached. I was able to watch them fall to the ground in a pile of metal before I was attacked again by five flyboys. Everyone was holding their own Nudge looked fine with a pile of metal all around her. She had taken out about fifty with her powers. Iggy was fine he was taken on ten. I saw him reach into his pocket and pull out a bomb then he threw it into a throng of flyboys. They flyboys either were blown to smithereens or where caught on fire and burned alive. Angel was doing really well. She was small and nimble so she could easily zip by them and hit them in their weak spot. I turned my attention back to the flyboys I was facing. Two more had joined so I was now against seven. I did a high ax kick with a double side kick to a flyboy. I managed to knock his arm off and send him flying two feet back. They all lunged for me at the same time hopping to outnumber me, though that was their big mistake. I waited for the last second and pushed off the ground as hard as I could. I soared over them and watched them tumble to the ground. I punched each one in the spot and they crumbled. Though I didn't notice the Flyboy coming up behind me, I soon felt something smash into my head. It hurt like hell. Blood started running down my neck and the flyboy was coming again hopping to smash=h me with what looked like a crow bar. I was a little dazed but defeated the flyboy easily. There were about forty flyboys left. Nudge started ripping them to shreds. After she was finished there was only two. One holding Max the other fighting against Gazzy. Gazzy shot the flyboy with a hard hook kick then topped it off with a flip. Gazzy then kicked him behind the spine like Max had thought him. MAX! Dang I forgot about her while we were fighting. I turned around and saw the flyboy started flying trying to reach the school. It was pretty fast but I matched him. I then jumped on him and started betting him to a pulp. Finally we had finished. Max had flown through the air and had landed on the dirt about ten feet away. We ran over and undid the sack. Max was inside out cold. They must have really drugged her so she couldn't escape. I picked her up and we started flying home. Though an hour later the kids started getting hungry so we stopped to eat. We quickly found a Wendy's and went inside to eat. I got some pretty weird glances carrying an unconscious girl with me but hey I was used to getting weird glances. We made our order and I used the Max ride credit card I found in Max's pocket. We sat down and ate are meals in silence. Max still hadn't woken up yet and the flock was starring at her. Once we were done we headed back to Mrs. Martinez's house. She was probably really mad we left without telling her. IO was right of course when we got home she was on the porch and if she could she would have steam coming out of her ears.
"Where were you? You worried me to death." she was fuming. Though she stopped at the look of Max. Max still had a really bad gash running down her arm from the fight last night in town and she was knocked out cold. Mrs. Martinez quickly grabbed Max and ran into eh house. She laid her on the couch and started treating her gash. Then she took a blood test to she how much drugs were put in her. When we got the results it said she would be out for maybe two days or more. The School really didn't want her waking up while the flyboys where flying. The flock was really tired from flying all the way to California and getting up at two in the morning so I sent them to bed. While Iggy started cooking dinner. It always amazed me how that boy could go without sleep. Though you try to wake him up and you got another thing coming. I sat down on the chair that was next to the couch and watched Max sleep though I was worn out to. Quickly my eyelids started getting heavy and I drifted off into sleep.
