Soooooooooooo sorry I haven't updated! It takes me a while to do chapters! (And it takes me at least a month to do each part!) Please don't kill me! *cowers under desk*

Percy: You have issues.

Fang: I can agree with that.

Me: I know. But it's my mom and bro that you want to drag to the funny farm, not me! I kidnapped Zuko!

Zuko: This is weird.

Me: Too bad! Now do the disclaimer!

Zuko: Fine. Disclaimer: She doesn't own MR. But she owns the pack, the pride, both pods, and the Amazons.

Me: And any other character that they do not mention in MR is mine.

Part 3: The Battle Begins

Chapter 28: Merry Band of Mutants

FPOV

Six hours later, all of us were ready to drop dead from hunger and exhaustion. So, using Destiny's, a girl from Jordan's pod, telepathy, we were able to meet up in a clearing in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, one-hundred miles north-northwest of the Cult.

"How much food do we have?" Jay and Kay, twins from Slash's pride, asked in unison.

Max did a mental calculation. "Enough to last us until tomorrow morning. The rest we're just going to have to figure out later."

Everyone groaned.

Troy and Drew, from Jordan's pod, were able to get a fire going. We all sat around, talking quietly.

"We have one son," Sarah whispered. "But we left him in the care of my parents, who are living in France."

Max looked sympathetically at Sarah. "Oh. What's his name?"

Slash smiled, mostly to himself, and said, "Perseus. After Sarah's father. He's only seven months old."

I thought I saw a tear escape from Sarah's eye. Her sisters, Sophia and Sabrina, moved next to her and held her, as if they all needed the strength. You could hardly tell which one was which, because they were triplets.

Suddenly, Noah burst out laughing.

"What?" Caroline, an Amazon, asked. "What is so funny?"

Noah laughed a little harder before choking out in an overly-happy-sounding falsetto voice, "I'm going to use your blood as jelly on my syrup!" (A/N: LOL! My friend Noah really did say that! (From "Mr. Happy Face" video!))

Everyone in Jordan's pod burst into laughter. The rest of us were left scratching our heads.

Destiny laughed, obviously understanding because of her telepathy.

Out of nowhere, Willow, Troy's girlfriend from Kyle's pod, said at me, "Fang, why is your hair so long? You should get it cut."

"No! His hair's so emo it cuts itself!" Iggy shouted.

Max and Iggy laughed. I just grinned. That had been a flock inside joke for forever! (A/N: From the pic "Flock Joke!")

"Oh girl!" Miguel sang in a funny voice.

"It's your birthday!" Skye sang back.

"Open wide!" Miguel said.

"I know you're thirsty!" Skye sang next.

"Let me here you say ahhh!" Miguel said.

"Say ahhh!" Skye replied. (A/N: They really did do that in class! Got annoying as heck!)

Austin stood up on a log and waved his arms up and down like wings. "Caw! Caw!"

Max frowned. "Don't make fun of us!"

Austin just laughed. "I'm making fun of one of the scientists at Itex. She was called Mrs. Walker." (A/N: a.k.a: My 7th grade math teacher!)

We all laughed at that one.

"I'm a banana!" Que shouted out of nowhere.

Laughter rang out in the clearing.

We were some merry band of mutants!

This chapter is filled with inside jokes! (If you were from Warm Springs Middle School, and in any of my classes, you will get the jokes!)

It didn't turn out as well as I'd hoped. I fact, I think it sucks.

*Sigh* Review! Free cookies for reviewers!

Peace, love, happiness, and Maximum Ride.
