I don't own Max Ride. I know, it's sad. But Mr. Patterson is a good guy, he'll take good care of them :P

"Max, Fang!" Iggy called out to us, "Move!"

I looked at him confused. Then I saw him pull out one of his man-made bombs. Fang bolted over to Nudge and grabbed her. I ran to Angel and took her hand.

"Angel, go to Fang."

Angel didn't move. Her eyes were still locked on Ari.

"Angel, go!" I yelled at her.

"He'll get away! He'll hurt you!"

I looked at the Erasers, who were only a few feet away now.

"Angel, he won't! Go!" I pushed her to Fang.

Then an Eraser grabbed my arm. I thrashed around to get away, but its grip was too tight on me. I started to panic. 'How am I going to get out of this one?' I thought to myself.

'You have the power Max.'

The Eraser twisted my arm back behind me. I felt my shoulder pop out of place. There was no way out. I had to make a decision: save the flock or save myself.

"Iggy do it!" I yelled.

"Max…" Fang started to say.

The Erasers started closing in on them now.

"Do it! Go! I'm fine!" I screamed as tears streamed down my cheeks.

Then there was a huge bang. The force of the explosion picked me up and threw me backwards. I felt my head hit the wall with a thud as I slid to the ground. Everything around me was getting darker. Voices were yelling near me, but I couldn't understand.

The darkness soon took over me, and I blacked out.

ooOoo. REVIEW PLEASE!
