A/N: Not much of a start on this chapter, but trust me it gets better. Thanks for the great reviews! I loved them all. They all made me laugh.
Another warning! – Swearing and blood in this chapter!
Fang's POV
We finally arrived at NY airport. It took us like four different flights just to get here. All of us were a little tired and grouchy. We did receive good news though. Joh's dad and brother had survived the attack with minor injuries. But that was also the time Ceecee had her worst vision yet.
She had been shaky and it took longer for her to get her sight back than usual. The vision was of the gang again. They were being attacked, by what Ceecee calls them, big harry monsters. So we were on a hurry to get back to the others.
Joh lead us back to the old warehouse where I had first met the supers. It was eerily quiet. Like dead quiet. I stopped Joh from going any further. She looked at me confused.
Can you read any of their thoughts? I asked. She looked back to the warehouse, and with a panicked look, shook her head. Jaw clenched I walked towards the building, telling them to stay back.
I opened the doors, and looked around. I saw nothing, nobody. It was empty. I took another step inside, and quietly walked around the place. Nobody was inside, and that just gave me a sick to my stomach feeling.
"Check this out." I heard Champ's voice behind me. I spun around to see him picking up a piece of paper.
"Champ, I told you to stay outside." I said.
"Well I thought you could you some help. Besides Diago's bragging." he said. I never thought of Diago as the bragging type. "Don't worry Joh. I'll protect you Joh. I love you Joh. The dude makes me sick." he muttered. Oh, so that's what he meant.
"What's that?" I asked pointing to the piece of paper in his hands. He looked down at it, then handed it too me. "Its V's handwriting." he said.
It was a note.
~Sorry Joh. I had to move the gang. These big wolf guys were looking for us. We'll be in the fort. Bring food, and water. Be careful. The wolves could be watching.V-man~
"The wolves." I said it to myself. Was he talking about Erasers? No, it couldn't be. Erasers went extinct. There is no way that Erasers could have found them.
"We need to show Joh." Champ said. I looked up at him, and saw that he was going through some other stuff. I rolled my eyes.
"Come on. Before you set off a booby trap." I said. We walked towards the door and as soon as we put a foot onto the outside floor, giant figures came down on us.
"Gotcha!" I heard someone yell. I looked up just in time to see a big Eraser coming down on me. I quickly stepped out of the way. He landed in front of me. He grinned evilly at me.
"Aah!" I looked over to see Champ being held by another Eraser. Shit.
"Well, well, well." the one in front of me said. "The scientist are going to be glad to know that I caught the missing avian experiment." he said.
"You caught nothing." I said. I expanded my wings and jumped into the air. I flipped backwards and flew towards the back of the ware house. Problem is, this place is pretty small. Not much flying room. The Eraser came after me, transforming into its full wolf form.
I flew towards Champ and the other Eraser. I picked up a plank of wood off the floor and swung it, hitting the Eraser. He cried in pain and dropped Champ.
"Holy Shit!" Champ yelled running outside. I flew behind him and saw Joh and the others coming to meet us. But Joh stopped them, seeing the wolves chasing us.
"What the hell are those?" Ceecee let out. She looked horrified.
"Don't know, and don't really want to find out." Joh said. Then she ran straight for them. Is this chick out of her mind?
"Take their sides." she told me. I was confused. Then she picked up something off the ground. I looked closer to see she had picked up the plank of wood, that I hadn't noticed I'd dropped.
She ran up to one of the Erasers and swung it at it. It dodged and swung it's paw at Joh. She jumped to the side, barley missing the hit. She rolled over so she was under the Eraser and shoved the pointed end of the plank into its stomach. It let out a painful cry, and moved its back legs, setting it's back paw in the spot Joh was laying.
"JOH!" Diago let out. I flew down towards her, but she disappeared before I got there. I looked over to see her and Champ on the side. Great job Champ! I turned around back to the Erasers and hit the first one in its muzzel. It fell over, the plank falling out, exposing a river of blood. It was still. One down, one to go.
"Fang!" I heard Kiki shout. I turned around to see the other Eraser charging at me. I got ready to attack, but the next thing I knew, the Eraser was being knoced over. Kiki had tackled an Eraser twice her size. It was like watching a quarter back get sacked. Except this isn't a game, its life or death.
She growled down at it, and twisted it's paw. A bone breaking crack echoed through the air. I cringed at the sound. Who knew that sweet little Kiki could be so aggressive. The Eraser growled back at her, and hit her up side the head with it's other paw. Kiki went flying towards the side.
"YOU BIG JERK!" Ceecee shouted. I saw her charge for him.
"Ceecee! No!" I shouted and flew for her. She grabbed the plank of wood and swung it, hitting the back paw joint of the Eraser. Down it went like the London bridge. It fell over, and was about to land on Ceecee. I picked her up and flew over to Kiki who was rubbing her head. I put down Ceecee, and Diago came up to her and took the plank from her.
He ran towards the Eraser, rage burning through his eyes. He looked scary as hell. The Eraser saw him coming and stood up, shaking from the broken paw and the banged up leg. Then it ran towards Diago.
"DIAGO!" Joh shouted.
Diago didn't listen to her, he charged for the Eraser. The Eraser growled at him and snapped at him. Diago juked left and with a warrior shout, took the plank to the Eraser's neck. He shoved it inside the wolf's throat, blood spilling out. The Eraser fell over and lied there. It didn't twitch, it didn't howl, it didn't move. It's dead.
We all stood there looking at the dead Erasers. Blood pouring out of both of them. It was a horrible scene to see.
"How do we get rid of them?" Champ asked.
"We burn them." I said. They looked at me confused. I turned to Kiki.
"Back in Africa. When you set fire to the lab. You can do it." I said. She looked at me unsure. "I know you can." I encouraged. She nodded.
She walked over to the Erasers, and stared at them. She looked, and looked. Nothing happened. She just stared at them.
"Are you sure she," Joh began, but I shushed her. I saw what she did. I saw her catch fire, and use it to set fire to that building. I know she can do this.
Kiki then raised her hand, palm up. Kiki tilted her head back, closing her eyes. Then she caught fire. Flames engulfed her entire body. It looked like a black cat on fire. It's funny in a way. She looked back at the Erasers, then to me. I nodded, giving her the Okay. She nodded. She turned her palm over, above the first Easer, and let the fire drop from her hand. The Eraser caught on fire immediately. She did the same thing with the other Eraser.
"That's amazing." Joh said.
Kiki pulled back the fire off her own body. She took a few steps back watching the figures burn. We all watched the fire, and watched the smoke reach the sky.
"Everyone should have seen this." Ceecee said. We all turned to look at her. She looked sad, and hopeless. She was probably thinking the Eraser's got them.
"Fang, the note." Champ said. I nodded and handed it to Joh. She looked it over, and her brows furrowed.
"Were's the old fort?" I asked. She smiled and ran towards the back of the warehouse.
"Kiki, get rid of the fire." I ordered. Kiki nodded and held out her hands. "Follow Joh." I ordered the others. The went after her. I waited for Kiki. I watched the fire go down, and she started to break a sweat. This was probably taking a lot out of her. The flames finally died down, and the body's were only ashes. Kiki started to fall over, but I was there to catch her. She smiled up at me.
"You did great." I said. She giggled.
"You know that's the first time you complemented me." she said.
"Don't get used to it." I said. She laughed.
We went the way that the others went. We found Joh and the others, looking all over the place. What did they lose there way?
"What are you guys looking for?" I asked.
"There's a switch that opens the door to the fort, but we forgot where it is." Ceecee said.
I sighed and leaned against a tree. How long is this going to take? Then I felt my shoulder sink into the tree. Then a loud SWOOSH! sound came. A huge bolder started to roll over and exposed an opening to a cave.
"So that's where I put it. Great job Fang." Diago said. I got up off the tree to see a square of the bark had been pushed in. How unoriginal, I thought.
"Leave it to you Diago, to forget where you put your own inventions." Champ said. Diago rolled his eyes, and grabbed Joh's hand. Champ narrowed his eyes at him. Ouch, dude. That's cold. I thought. But then again, I'd do the same thing.
Joh walked into the opening of the cave, and the rest of us followed. We came to a fork in the road, or rather, a fork in the cave path. There were three tunnels in front of us. A small one on the right, a big one on the left, and a demented shaped one in the middle.
"Which way again?" Joh asked. Diago pointed to the left one. We headed down that way and we could hear droplets of water. "Water supply, check." Joh said. We continued to walk. Then we could see a growing orange light ahead. Shadows splashed onto the wall. Joh walked faster. "I can hear them." she said excitedly.
We all ran towards the end of the tunnel. We turned the corner and there they were. The supers. Vinnie's back was to us, and he was passing out bottles of water.
"Okay guys, this is the last of it. I'll go out later and get some." he said. He past one to a little boy, I think his name was Moose.
Moose smiled and looked towards us. His eyes went wide and a smile spread across his face. He jumped up and ran to us, shouting our names. "JOH! KIKI! CEECEE! CHAMP! DIAGO! FANG!" He jumped into Joh's arms.
Vinnie turned around and saw us. He smiled. "You guys finally made it." he said. Then his face went serious. "Did you guys bring food?" he asked.
"Sorry no. We ran into a little trouble." Joh said. Vinnie sighed.
"We'll go out and get some food." I said. I turned towards the group. "Champ, Kiki. Lets go." I said. They nodded and followed me out towards the cave.
"When did he become the boss?" I heard Vinnie ask. Joh laughed.
"He's leader now." she said. "He's our general." she added.
"So it's on?" Vinnie asked.
"It's so on." Joh said.
So on, I agreed.
So what do you guys think? Action enough? Wondering what's on? Stay tuned to find out. Review! Thanks! ^_^
