a small fight scene
"I don't think so," Max said, as she got ready to fight Tracy, only to have Zero blurred into her knocking her towards the edge of the building. Max then turned her attention onto White. "Bring it, old man."
"You're gonna pay for that, 452," White said, as he started his attack on Max, only to have Alec join in the fight. "Now, this is fair." He swung at them both and they ducked out of the way. "Now I have the chance of putting you both in your places."
"I really don't think so, White," Max said, as they both slammed a kick into his ribs, dropping him to his knees, and then one to the head, knocking him out. "We're gonna put you in your place."
"Max, Zero," Alec said, as he started towards her. The others had somehow got the children away from the men, and they were running for their mother.
Max watched in horror as both Tracy and Zero fell over the edge of the building. "Mommy," Sean screamed as he lunged forward, but Alec grabbed him and handed him back to CeCe. "Mommy!"
"Keep a tight hold onto him, CeCe," Max ordered her, as she and Alec went over to stand at the edge. "Biggs, keep an eye on White."
"Yes, Ma'am," both yelled. Biggs than stood over the unconscious White and he shot a smile over to CeCe who was holding onto Sean.
"Okay, Max," Alec began, as they perched on the edge and looked over to see a huge water tank below. Alec's eyes quickly narrowed in on Tracy climbing over the edge of the tank, but he couldn't spot Zero anywhere. "Please tell me that Zero can swim."
"I don't see her," Max said, as she got ready to jump, only to have Alec grab her arm. "What?"
"There." Alec pointed straight down to a small ledge where Zero was grabbing. "She didn't hit the water."
"I'll go for Tracy, you get Zero." Max then jumped down and hit the water feet first. Tracy shot a glance over at her and snarled. "Wow. You really aren't a lady."
"You're going to die, Freak," Tracy snarled as she grabbed onto a knife and waited for Max to get out of the tank. "All of you are going to die. None of you will survive the Coming."
"We'll see about that when the day comes." Tracy then lunged at her with the knife and Max ducked just in time.
Alec grabbed onto the side of the building and slowly began to climb down. He landed on the ledge and it began to shake. Zero shot him a concerned look as he knelt down in front of her and reached out for her hand. "You're okay," he whispered to her, as she grabbed onto his hand. "The worst thing that could happen is that we take a swim."
"And you X5's don't like water," she began, as Alec pulled her up on the ledge. "With your cat DNA and all. I was surprised Max jumped in after Tracy."
"Max does whatever she wants. We can't stop her." The moment Zero's feet were on the ledge, it gave way from underneath. They then fell down towards the tank below them at a fast speed. Alec pushed Zero away from the side of the tank, but wasn't lucky enough himself. He clipped his right shoulder on the side and went down. Before he could try to swim to the surface, Zero was at his side and she helped him to the surface. "Thanks." He grabbed onto the edge of the tank after she did. "I didn't take that fall like I wanted to."
"I noticed." Zero gently laughed, as she threw back her head in an attempt to get her hair out of her face, looked up to see the others had gathered to watch them at the edge of the roof, and waved to them.
Just then the sound of hard contact, made them turn around to see Tracy knock Max off the ledge and back into the tank. She then sneered at them, as she started over to their side. "Okay, now might be a good time to get out of the water," Alec said, as he grabbed the edge and pulled himself out. He then turned and helped Zero. "Now we run."
"What about Max?" Alec quickly sought out Max's unmoving body. "She's not moving."
"Okay, you run, I'll get Max." Alec dove into the water, just as Tracy lunged at him.
"You're gonna die, Freak," Tracy sneered at Zero, as she swung at her, only to have Zero slam a kick into her side, dropping her to her knees. "What? How can you hurt me?"
"It's in my genes," Zero said, as she shot a quick glance over to see that Alex had gotten to Max's side, and was hauling her to the edge. "This is a fight between you and me. Not them."
"Then let's bring it."
Alec hauled Max up onto the ledge and pulled himself up next to her. He quickly checked to see if she was breathing, and was relieved to find that she was. "Come on, Max, wake up," he whispered, as he ran a hand across her face. "Max!"
Max rolled onto her side away from him and threw up the water that was in her lungs. "Alec, why is Zero fighting Tracy?" she asked him, as she slowly sat up and shot him a smile. "Thank you for rescuing me."
"Like I was going to let you drown," he teased, as he ran a hand through her hair. "It looks like Zero can take care of herself." They looked over to see Tracy and Zero in a hand to hand contact. "I think her father made her the way she is so that she could fight them." Alec got to his feet and offered her his hand.
"I think so too." Max grabbed onto his arm and he pulled her up to her feet. "I think this ends now."
"Sounds like a plan." They made their way over to where Tracy and Zero were fighting. "You really think we can take her down."
"Only one way to find out." Max took off to strike at Tracy with Alec right behind her.
