Chapter 11

No POV

Fang crept towards the complex up to the gated wall. Most likely electrified, he nimbly flew over the fence and landed softly on the other side. Slowly walking across the complex, he made his way towards the main building. Suddenly a spotlight appeared and exposed him to the surrounding Erasers.

"Fang, Fang, Fang. What the hell are you doing back here?" Ari sneered.

"Wouldn't you want to know Ari? I just wanted to see you again to actually kill you."

"Fat chance with that. You're totally outnumbered and with me at the helm, there is no way you are getting in."

"Really? You're leading them? This is going to be too easy since you're a complete dumbass."

"Keep talking Fang. Your mouth will finally kill you," Ari grinned. "Attack this reject and tear him to pieces." He barked to the Erasers.

Fang POV

The Erasers started moving towards me. I flew into the air and began playing whack an Eraser by jackknifing down on their heads from the air. This was going to be easy as long as Ari did not get involved at all. I heard a whining sound and saw Erasers with jetpacks. Great, now they fly. I took off towards one of them, attempting to clothesline it. Unfortunately, it ducked under my arm and grabbed my foot and threw me to the ground. Erasers started jumping on top of me before I had a chance to react. Even though I was trying to throw them off of me, there were just too many. I was then hoisted up and held by my shoulders.

"Like I just said, you're mouth is going to kill you this time." Ari laughed.

"You wish."

"And what the hell do you plan on doing now? Spit on me? Ha. First things first. I'm going to rip out that tongue of yours and shove it down your throat. Then I'm going to slowly bleed you to death."

"Yeah yeah whatever. I don't need to hear your bullshit."

"And yet you still talk." Ari started walking towards me with a grin on his face. As I was trying to break free, I heard a loud bang from behind me. Smoke suddenly enveloped me and I was hoisted up into the air. I looked up to see a figure carrying me off somewhere away from the Erasers. This was extremely surprising to me.

"Why the hell are you helping me?" I asked.

"We felt it was better if we did. I want you to recover your memory back and you have your own goals. It would probably be better if we helped each other."

I decided that if that was what they wanted then fine. I had my own agenda and they had theirs.

"Then let's do this. Just head to that building and follow me."

No POV

Fang and the rest of the flock entered the inner complex and were met with a small group of Erasers. They easily dispatched them and continued repeating the same process as they got deeper into the complex. At a fork in the hallway, Fang said

"I'm heading left to go kill this bastard of a director who tried to have me killed. If you have so much concern for my memory, it's probably down the right. Enjoy yourselves and I guess I should say thanks for the help."

Fang then sprinted down towards the left corridor while Max led the rest of the flock down the right. After they traveled a distance, two identical things happened. A door in each corridor and two dark figures stepped out of each one.

"The rest of you keep going," Max told the flock, "I'll deal with this myself."

"This is going to be interesting. Very interesting." The figure said to Max.

"I'm going to rip you to shreds this time and put an end to this." Max snarled.

At the other end, the same conversation took place between Fang and his enemy.

"This is where this ends right now." The foe hissed.

"We shall see about that." Fang replied.

Max POV

"So much anger in your voice yet once again, you are oblivious to what our true cause is."

"What else could it possibly be besides destroying the world? I really have to wonder."

"Always with your snappy mouth. Seriously, I've had enough with your antics. Maybe I'll explain our plans and maybe I won't. We shall see."

"And what do I need to do to get the information out of you this time? Actually kill you?"

"You'll find out soon enough what our cause it. Maybe we'll stumble upon it once we start killing each other."

"Bring it."

Fang POV

"I couldn't have you earlier and this time I'm going to kill you without any questions."

"You kill me? Tch. I'm totally way overpowered for you to be saying that. Seriously, its going to be the other way around. And you have no backup this time."

"Oh really. I'm sure this will help me increase my strength." The figure paused and pulled out a syringe filled with a transparent liquid. Then the figure stabbed it into itself.

You have to be kidding me. Steroids? Piece of cake I thought to myself.

"That Freelance document and the rest of the stuff you stole for us allowed us to engineer something amazing." The figure replied.

"I see absolutely no difference right now."

The figure stepped out of the shadows and I realized there wasn't much difference to be seen. Except for all the blood veins being visible and the fierce demeanor it wasn't much.

"Scared Fang?"

"You wish."

Chapter 12

No POV

Max was about to lunge at Ari when he pulled out a syringe and jabbed himself with it. Once that happened, Ari began to increase in size and his muscles began to bulge. He was turning into literally a beast.

"You have got to be kidding me."

"Time to DIE!" Ari screamed and charged.

Max flew out of the way as the animal leapt past her leaving claw marks in the walls. She turned a door and burst through it.

"Sweet, more room to maneuver in." Max spread her wings and flew up higher in the vast room. She looked down and saw Ari burst in and look up.

"You and your damn wings. Seriously we need to find a way to ground you."

Ari grabbed part of the door and hurled it at Max. She dodged it like as usual but did not expect Ari to start crawling up the wall and jump towards her. Too distracted, she was hit with full force and crashed to the ground.

Max was seeing stars as she laid on the ground. Ari loomed over her, teeth bared and hungry.

"You are sure going to make one great snack." And opened his mouth wide.

Max rolled out of the way and to her knees. She was bruised and battered but still had the strength and mindset to start thinking of a plan. This open room had to have something that could take down a creature of this size. Otherwise it wouldn't be this big.

She couldn't think for long as the other door was suddenly flying at her. It caught her foot as she tried diving out of the way and spun into the wall hard.

This time when she looked up, she saw something that could help with defeating Ari.

Fang on the other hand was having a hard time trying to slow down Max 2.0. Apparently the syringe gave her increased strength and agility and this was nauseating him.

"You can't even touch me." She shrieked as she sped by Fang punching him in the face.

"Damnit to hell." he howled as he fell to the ground for the fifth time. Every time he tried to make an exit, Max would be there welcoming him with a punch or kick to his body.

"Timing was extremely important yet after five times I still can't get it done", Fang thought to himself. "Obviously using my environments is key but in this hallway, I can't get anything done. Maybe this will work.

He lunged for a door and just as Max got there, he switched direction and headed for a different one, kneeing Max in the back on the way in.

"Finally!" Fang yelled as he rolled into another room. More space would be the key here and the good thing about this room was that there was definitely a way to slow this speedy bitch down.
