Oh, and yes, I forgot Total. Pretty Ironic, considering that I have a whole story dedicated to him. Whatever. Sorry, go ahead and lecture me until my ears bleed.
Max's POV:
Something in the back of my head clicked. I could feel my blood get scorching hot, and my heart beat so much faster. I felt as if someone punched me in the gut. Then the blackness hit me once again. The only difference is that I wasn't in pain.
Fang's POV:
Max was interrogating the scientist when suddenly the atmosphere changed. Reilly flipped open his small metal box and hit the red button. Something changed, and I found what it was the next second.
Max suddenly straightened up and went rigid. Then she turned around and looked at us. Her pupils grew larger, and all emotion was wiped clean from her face. And then she lunged at us.
Her first target was me, and I barely managed to dodge one of her punches to my face. I quickly pushed the punch away and threw her off her balance. Iggy shouted, "What, what's going on?"
"Max is attacking us!" Gazzy yelled back, running away from Max. She had the most stamina of all of us; we had to find a way to stop her quickly. She decided to chase Angel. Angel stood there is fear, but she was concentrating hard. "Angel! Can you read her mind?" I shouted, running. She screamed back, "No! I can't read anything!" She said is fear, as she turned to run. It was too late though; Max was about five feet away from Angel.
"No!" I yelled, and I crashed into Max. We flung into the wall. I could distinctly hear Riley chuckling in the background. I gritted my teeth angrily. I looked at Max, and she looked back up at me with unemotional eyes. I shuddered inwardly.
Max kicked me off her, and I slammed into the other wall. Iggy pulled me up. "Shit man, this is Max. What do we do?" He asked me blindly. I got up wheezing. "I don't know, but I'll figure something out." I said back. I glanced towards Max. "How much longer can we hold up before she gets one of us?" Iggy asked. Cold horror washed through me.
We were going to lose, eventually.
"I'll figure something out. Good thing she isn't loaded up with powers, like Angel. " I said.
Iggy nodded. I focused back on Max. Everybody in the flock was with Iggy and I, against the wall. Max started chasing Nudge. "Wah!" Nudge screamed, running away from Max. Max tried to claw at her. I jumped back at her, knocking her down. She tried furiously (without showing any emotion) to get me off of her. I pinned her to the ground. "Iggy! Gazzy!" I shouted. "Make a bomb so we can get out of here!" I shouted. I heard yes in the background, then Max clocked me with her fist, and hit me on the side of my head. Then she kicked my chest, and I landed back on the other side of the wall again. Ugh, Max's strength was annoying right now. Nudge and Angel helped me up. Max sprinted straight towards me. I did the same. We were running towards each other, with determination in our (ok not Max's, only mine) eyes.
We clashed, falling on the ground, trying blindly to block and throw punches and kicks. We rolled over and over again desperately trying to get the better hand, and to defeat the other. We got back up again, and ran for each other once more. But my stamina was wearing thin, so I had to do something quick. "Sorry Max." I muttered under my breath. And as she charged at me, I aimed a kicked at her stomach. She flew against the wall for the first time.
She didn't get up for a few moments.
Max's POV:
My mind clicked into gear again. This was a pain in my gut, and I felt like the air was knocked out of my lungs. (AN: Has this ever happened to anyone? It's really scary. When you get the air knocked out of you, your breath literally goes away, and you can't breathe for a few moments. Most people freak out)
My vision cleared and I saw Iggy and Gazzy in one corner pulling out their equipment to make a bomb. Angel and Nudge were nearby them looking scared and flicking their glances from me, to Fang, then to Iggy and Gazzy. Then Fang was in the middle, in a fighting stance, breathing heavily. My head was spinning, and I wanted to grab my head, but I couldn't move my arm.
"Ugh." I muttered. Fang flickered to my face. "Max?" He asked. He seemed shocked, relieved, and…something else. I don't know what, but I'll focus on that later.
My body suddenly jerked forward and I was running towards him getting ready to punch him. I could feel the bewildered expression on my face. "Wha, wha…" I said as I leaned forward to deliver the punch. Fang took my punch and redirected it the other way. I stumbled over my feet but remained standing.
"Fang?" I said uncertainly. "I can't control my body." He must have caught on. My body continued to lunge at Fang, punching, kicking, and everything. He blocked them all easily. But he looked out of breath. "What do you want to do?" He said as he blocked everything. We stuck with close range fighting, so we could talk.
"Um, I don't know yet. What did I do to you guys?" I asked. Fang answered quickly, "When Reilly hit the button you started to attack us. Everybody was running away from you at one point. Iggy and Gazzy are making a bomb to get out of her." Fang had me in a bear hug. I was struggling to get free. It's weird. Just watching yourself as you fight against your friend, knowing you can't control your body. I was wincing every time I struck at Fang.
"Great." I said as I flipped Fang over my back. He landed on the floor in front of me on his back. "What should we do?" I asked. I looked at Fang in alarm. I hope I didn't hurt him. Stupid scientists. Stupid Reilly.
"I don't know." He said wheezing. He got back up. "Wait." He continued suddenly. "If you can't control your body, does that mean where ever we go, you'll follow?" He tested it by running towards the other end, away from Angel and the others. My body followed him. "Yeah I guess." I said.
"Maybe if we break out of here we can make you follow us to Dr. Martinez's house. She'll be able to do something." He said. I shook my head. "I'll probably tear up the house or hurt Ella. What would Dr. Martinez be able to do? The only one who might be stronger than me is you or Iggy. Iggy is blind, and you need rest eventually. I don't even feel tired."
"Got it!" Iggy and Gazzy yelled from across the room. Fang ran towards me and pinned me on the ground. Then he looked at them. "Hurry up and set it off, we need to get out of here!" He shouted. "Duck and cover!" Gazzy yelled. Everybody ran to the other side of the room, and the bomb exploded. A whole part of the roof was gone. "Air!" Angel and Nudge shouted.
I continued to struggle under Fang. He sensed that he wouldn't be able to hold me down for much longer. "Fly away!" He shouted urgently. The rest of the flock flew through the air, but stood on the roof, waiting for us—or Fang.
Fang turned his gaze back to me. "I'm going to let go and fly away on three. You just follow." He said. "One. Two—"
I cut him off. "WAIT!" I shouted. "You and the flock, you especially, are going to get tired. I'm going to end of finding you. You know that special move Jeb told us not to use? The wing thing? As I take off, push my wings back to hyperextend so I won't be able to fly."
Fang interjected, "No—" I cut him off. "Fang! Just do it! There's no other way!" I shouted. Fang stared him me for a moment, something in his eyes. The he nodded solemnly. He leapt into the air, unfurling his wings. As planned, I flew up to get him. Silently, faster than I could see, he was suddenly behind me. He took my wings, and pushed them together. My wings went numb, and they furled in and I fell straight to the floor. I landed on my face. Ouch.
Reilly suddenly burst out of the room screaming like a maniac.
