A/N: I am also at the library. These headphones are really hurting my head… But anywho! I want to discuss quite a few things in this author's note. Why? Cuz I can! :D

So I've done a lot of thinking. And I have made some strides here. I HAVE DECIDED THAT SINCE EGGY WILL VERY MUCH LIKELY HAPPEN IN THE LAST BOOK OF MR… I will be happy for Iggy! Because there are other fish in the sea (There's one that I very much like… But let's save that for later.) But I also want to put it out there that I began writing this story before the 7th book came out. Before Ella suddenly intruded on Iggy's life. To be honest, I'm more of a Niggy fan… But once again, WHATEVER! So yeah. I guess that's it.

Enjoy! We're going to pull more focus on Max! (And I will say it again – WE ARE DIE-HARD FAX FANS! We do not like Dylan.)


Chapter Twenty-Eight: New Mission

Max POV

I stared blankly at where Matt's hooligans had been. (A/N: Ha ha Jessica I came up with a name for the gang! I like the name!)

"What in the world…" I heard Fang mutter under his breath.

Then, it got even weirder. Jeb came with my mom and Dr. G-H.

Dylan looked at me. "Wasn't he supposed to be dead?" I shrugged, also very confused. A couple of weeks ago, all of my Flock (except for me because I was smart) had been on an airplane that crashed into a weird unidentified floating object. We saved everyone except for Dr. Goonie-Hoonie because he'd mysteriously disappeared. And people wonder why I can't trust him…

"Max, honey…" Mom came towards me and gently touched my shoulder. "I'm sorry."

I gave her a confused look. "About what?"

She gave me a sad look before Dr. G-H interrupted. "Max, we've put this off long enough. The apocalypse is coming sooner than we thought. You need to stop the Doomsday Group now."

I decided to try and get some info out of these guys since the voice was never helpful with that. "Is the Doomsday Group supposed to bring the apocalypse?"

Dr. G-H shook his head. "We never predicted them to, but they will bring an early apocalypse."

"And so how exactly are we supposed to stop them?" I asked.

"We can't tell you that, Max. You're the one saving the world," my mom added softly. I still didn't understand why she was so sorry before…

"And we need you and Dylan to-" Dr. G-H began.

"No! She's not ready yet! Put that off for now!" my mom exclaimed.

I felt sick. "You guys are going to put it off? Isn't it me that we're talking about, not you guys?"

Dylan began to protest. "Yeah, we're going to do that on our own!"

I stepped on his foot. Hard. "Dylan, we're not going to do that at all." Ok… I didn't even think that sentence fully through before I said it. I hadn't really decided if I liked Dylan. But I guess my subconscious mind made the decision. However, I decided to ignore that.

Dylan and Dr. G-H looked a little offended, but I ignored that too. "Listen, I'm fifteen, and I don't plan on reproducing at this time. But back to stopping the DG. Where's the head of it located?"

"Washington DC. We don't know which building, however," Dr. G-H told me.

I nodded, thinking. Finally, my leadership skills kicked in and I made a plan. "Ok, my flock. We're all flying to DC. Fang and Maya, we also need you two. For the rest of Fang's gang – if you want to come, you can, but the people with wings need to stick with each other."

They nodded. I thought to Angel, Tell them mentally to look for the Hooligans. I don't know if G-H is in on it.

She curtly nodded at me and looked at them.

Finally, a plan. It felt like forever since I'd been so sure of myself.


There ya go.

(This is Abby back from the library.) I realize that this was a really short chapter for me. But I'm excited for the action that will come. Not to mention that Fax will eventually be reunited. :) So umm that's it I guess! Bye!
