Barely Missed My Heart

(Max POV)

Right as Hans was about to put an ultra sound thing up to my exposed stomach, several loud alarms started going off and he paused.

I let out a loud sigh of relief as he straightened up and asked a cyborg what was going on.

"The main door was breached by five mutants. Twenty cyborgs were sent there, but they were all destroyed." It informs quickly, looking straight ahead.

"Send fifty more and don't let them get away!" Hans orders, putting a little thing that was supposed to go on my stomach down.

"Yes sir." It says and then goes off to carry out his orders.

I was on a bed with my arms and legs held down by restraints, which I could easily get out off.

It was part of my plan that if we were put in restraints that at first we had to pretend to struggle against them. After a while I told them to stop and pretend to give up, so that we wouldn't get stronger ones put on. Then when the time came, we could all get out easily.

"Ok, Max, back to the sonogram." Hans says, "I doubt we'll see anything this first week but I want to see if everything looks normal, or at least nothing bad."

I pretend to struggle again and for good measure, I add a sigh as I 'gave up'.

"You already tried that Max, it hasn't gotten any looser, might as well not even try." He says with a smile, and grabs the little thing again.

Less than ten minutes passed as he checked everything out and decided I looked about four weeks along in the inside. He had time to clean the goo off my stomach before the cyborg by the door spoke up.

"Sir, the mutants have eliminated all fifty cyborgs and are getting close to the control room." It informs urgently.

Han's eyes widen as he realizes he underestimated my flock. "Send all of the remaining cyborgs except for the five best," He says and looks to the side of the room, where a few cyborgs were guarding the room in case I tried something, "That includes you all and the others in the other room, except the one in the other subjects' room and here." He looks around and then screams "Come one, what are you waiting for? Go!"

The all march out of the room and as the door opens all the noise outside floods in. Cyborgs where marching through the halls from every direction to the right, where I'm guessing the entrance and control room were.

I waited for a moment while Hans gathered up some papers, and figured now was my chance to set my plan into motion.

As he reached over in a hurry to undo my leg straps, I kicked him in the face with my now-free leg and he fell to the floor.

I then ripped my other leg out from the strap and saw that the only cyborg remaining in this room was rushing towards me.

When he was within range, I donkey kicked him and he fell to the ground on his back.

Ripping my wrists from the remaining restraints, I leapt down from the hospital bed I was on and pushed it into the cyborg.

He had been trying to get up, but was knocked back down from the force of the bed.

I gathered up all my strength and, forgetting for a moment that it was part human, I punched its head sideways with all my might. His head flew to the side, fell off and rolled on the floor. To my surprise and relief though, there wasn't any blood.

I silently thanked Hans for not actually making these things from real humans and not including blood in them. Although I've had no trouble with it in the past, I was feeling a little nauseous at the moment and didn't know how long I'd last.

Not wasting any time, I rushed to the door and opened it up a crack.

Seeing that all of the cyborgs were already out of sight, I ran to the door across the hall and opened it up in two seconds flat.

When the door is fully open, I see that there were actually three cyborgs in here. They had probably decided that one wouldn't be enough and ignored G's orders. One was leaning on the far wall, just looking around. Another was by Fang's chair (which had straps on his arms and legs) and was injecting something into Fang's wrist. I noticed that part of his arm was bleeding too. The last one was by Dylan's chair (which again, had restraints on him) and was actually cutting different sections of his arm. Light pink scars were neatly placed all over his arm, where they had most likely already cut.

When I pushed the door open they had all looked up and stared at me in surprise for a moment. After that nice little moment though, all three cyborgs ran to me.

I didn't have time to think, I just reacted. I quickly karate-chopped the first one neck (human side) as hard as I possibly could out of anger (the one that had been cutting Dylan up) and actually made his neck snap. It fell to the floor after I simultaneously kicked one of my legs around and knocked him off balance.

The one that had messed with Fang was next and I kicked my foot up as far as I could in front of me and kicked it's head nearly off, except for a few wires that held it in place, and made it fall back. I felt a crack and some minor pain when I did that and concluded that I most likely broke a few toes, but I didn't care right now because the last cyborg was still charging for me.

I knew that I was just getting in some lucky shots and that if I let my guard down even for a second and this cyborg managed to get a hit in…Well then, I'd be done for.

I was already pretty sore and tired since these things were pretty hard and it had taken a lot out of me just to do what I'd done, but I knew that I still needed to get us out of here. So I got ready to do a roundhouse kick.

Before that cyborg got a chance to come near me though, it was tackled and beaten to a pulp by the two guys that I'd almost forgotten were there. Dylan and Fang.

After they broke the thing up into tiny pieces and random parts, they both got up and came to me.

I looked up at them and nodded. They did the same and then followed me as I limp-ran out the door and to where I hoped the flock was still at.

(Nudge third person POV)

As everyone was helping Kate bulldoze through all of the cyborgs that seemed to have no end, Nudge remembered about her power that she'd been strengthening for a while now.

She stopped, the others stilling moving forward helping Kate, and concentrated.

When she was sure that she was ready, she held her hands out in the direction of a cyborg that no one seemed to be paying particularly any attention to and made her left hand into a fist. She concentrated hard on the cyborgs face and saw that as fast as she balled her fist-the left side (metal side) of the cyborg's face crumbled inwards.

Nudge smiled, looking at her fist in triumph as the cyborg started to freak out a little.

She looked back up and noticed that Gazzy was looking back at her with an approving smile.

She smiled back, but frowned just as fast.

There was cyborg headed straight for Gazzy and was too close for Gazzy to have a chance of avoiding the punch that was headed straight for his gut.

Nudge saw this and reacted quickly, but surely. Concentrating on what she wanted, she faced her palm to the cyborg approaching Gazzy and quickly moved it up.

As she did this, the cyborg levitated into the air and hit the ceiling with such force that it broke a light above and sent a shower of sparks to the ground. It fell to the ground in a crumpled heap and twitched a little from being electrocuted a second ago on the ceiling.

Nudge looked at her hands, then at Gazzy, smiling.

Her powers had grown and she was sure of what she was capable of doing now. She raised both her hands up to face all of the cyborgs that were fighting with her friends. She concentrated extremely hard and forcefully spread her hands apart as if clutching the air to the sides.

Instantly, all of the 'borgs slammed into each other until half of them were slammed on the left wall and half on the right. Most of them stopped moving after being squished into the walls by the others, but most managed to get out and kept on fighting.

The fighting continued on, with Nudge making all of the cyborgs go to the sides and the others (the flock, Maya and Kate) picked off the ones that still moved, until they were all exhausted and only a few remained.

"How many were there?" Nudge asked, feeling a headache coming on and holding a palm to her forehead.

Everyone was trying to catch their breaths and no one spoke at first.

"A lot…" Gazzy said, breathing heavily.

"Too many." Iggy added, breathing a little calmer, but had his hands on his knees still trying to slow it further.

"I think about eighty- in total." Maya said, taking a breath in between.

Maya had informed everyone long ago about when the scientist made her, how they tried to make her 'better' than Max. She was almost like a first draft for that Omega kid and had been given the ability to remember every bit of information she was given or came across. She had told Nudge once that it wasn't as overwhelming as it sounded and that she couldn't imagine not retaining everything, when Nudge had asked.

"Not as many as we used to have to fight." Nudge said.

"Yeah, but we haven't fought like this in months." Gazzy exclaimed, now breathing pretty normally like everyone else.

"Man, we're out of shape. That was harder than it used to be." Iggy commented, while stretching and managed to pop his neck and back.

"Eww, Iggy! I heard that!" Nudge exclaimed.

"Sorry." Iggy apologizes, rubbing his neck.

"I think these were stronger than what we're used to though." Gazzy said, getting back on the topic.

Everyone went silent as they heard a stampede of feet closing in.

"More?" Nudge complained. To her, it was as if her brain was about to explode, like when Max got those headaches when she got the voice. She wasn't sure how long she could use her metal telekinesis; she'd never even used it this much before.

"Yea, a lot more from what I can hear." Iggy confirmed.

'Well, this is just great...'Nudge thought to herself as she and everyone else got in fighting positions.

They were about to attack when they saw who was coming in the front.

She smiled happily, but then realized that one of them was limping and that the cyborgs were about to catch up.

(Max POV)

We had encountered Hans in the hallway and he'd called for all the remaining cyborgs to get us.

We ran as fast as we could. I had a hard time since each step sent pain all over my leg, but I limped as quickly and efficiently as I could, ignoring the pain while a bunch of cyborgs started trailing after us.

Fang and Dylan had eventually put my arms on their shoulders and we started to move faster. They were pretty much carrying me.

We finally saw the way out along the flock, Maya and Kate, who were all ready to attack.

I saw Nudge's smile, which she'd gotten when she saw us, turn to a frown when she noticed all of the cyborgs that were behind us.

A serious look overcame her face as she lifted her hands up, grabbing the air and what looked like threw it to the side.

I heard loud crashing sounds from behind and I realized what she was doing. She was using her metal controlling powers so we could get away. I was so happy that the training she had enforced on herself at my mom's was finally paying off.

When we were close enough to them, Maya started to order for everyone to get out.

Kate and Nudge waited a little longer and went after the guys and me.

As we all ran, Nudge kept all of the cyborgs she could, back and Kate got the ones she missed that got too close.

A few long moments passed with us running to the door until we finally got to the double doors, which were on the ground, and we all rushed out.

We were about ten feet out when Fang asked earnestly, "Is everyone out?"

"Yeah!" Maya hollered back at him.

Fang looked to the trees and said "Everyone, fly!"

Dylan and Fang both took their wings out and tried to take off, only ending up whacking each other and myself.

Nudge was now up in the air in front of us, holding Kate by the armpits with her arms. "Come on guys!" She cried, looked back at us.

"Let go, I'll take her!" Dylan said quickly.

"Fine!" Fang exclaimed and took off, making my hair blow to the side.

Dylan wasted no time and picked me up bridal style and forced his wings down powerfully, sending a few brown feathers flying.

Fang had been by Gazzy, talking to him, but was now past everyone and half way to the trees, flying almost as fast as I did. He looked back at Dylan and me, "Now, Ratchet!" I heard him call out in the trees' direction.

I looked back to see if the cyborgs were close, just in time to see a huge explosion that started somewhere inside. The building actually collapsed and most of the cyborgs got trapped (and hopefully crushed) inside.

There was a bunch of smoke in the air but I could make out something rising above it. "Dylan! Hans is getting away!" I tell him.

"Uh, what do I do Max? I can't just leave you on the ground, there's a bunch of cyborgs!" He tells me.

I look around and see that some of the cyborgs that remained were starting to levitate up and come to us "Guys! Don't retreat, fight!" I shout.

"OK, Max!" Gazzy and Iggy shout back.

Star, Holden and Ratchet had run out of the woods and were now fighting with the cyborgs on the ground, slowly taking a few out together.

Nudge had let Kate down and was making some cyborgs fly into each other in the air. Kate was smashing some others on the ground.

Fang had flown back and was heading to where Hans was alone. "No!" I shout, "Someone help Fang!" I add. "Dylan, just let me down, I can fight!" I tell him, moving around.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes! There's no time to argue, we need to help!"

He lands gently in a place where not too many cyborgs were around and stays there. I look around and notice everyone was engaged in battle and that Fang was about to reach Hans, who had about five cyborgs with him.

"I'll go." Dylan says, snapping me out of my little freak out that I didn't even realize I was having.

"OK" was all I could say and he was off. He flew as fast as he could to Fang, which wasn't very fast compared to most of us, but he would get to him soon enough.

In the meantime, I decided to at least try and be helpful and I limped to the closest cyborg. He saw me before I was even close and started running to me. I was ready though and punched it in the face.

I'd figured out that if you punched it on the human face side hard enough, then you could hit something inside the head that made the cyborg just stop working. So just about the whole time I fought, that was pretty much all I did. All I could do.

Every so often I would look around and see if everyone was OK. Ratchet, Holden and Star had seen me do the head punch thing and were doing that too now. Kate was still ploughing through them all with some help from Maya. Nudge was smashing (Hahaha Nudge smash! ...Sorry). Gazzy and Iggy were working together to fight a dozen cyborgs at the same time. And lastly, Fang and Dylan were fighting in the air with a few of the cyborgs Hans had with him.

Fang and Dylan were actually taking a long time and had only managed to get rid of two. Hans was kind of far away now. He was getting away, but I didn't really care right now because it looked like the guys were getting hurt.

Someone really needed to help them, but everyone was busy. I wanted to help so badly and didn't even get why I hadn't tried.

I took my wings out and heard a few pops that I decided to ignore. I tried to flap my wings down to take off, but I couldn't. Then I remembered that my wings were all messed up.

I jumped a little to see if it helped and I actually was able to take off, twisting my crooked wings to the side more seemed to do the trick.

I only got a few feet in the air though, until gravity took over and I fell. I landed on my broken foot and stifled a cry of pain.

Everyone was finishing up by now and I waved Iggy and Gazzy over.

"What's up Max?" Iggy asks when they land by me.

"Could you guys help Dylan and Fang, I think they need it." I say quickly, pointing the spot above the rubble that they were fighting at.

"Yeah, I'll go. Gazzy, stay with Max." Iggy says before taking off.

When Iggy finally got to them, I saw that the cyborgs had taken out guns.

'Oh no. No, no, no, no!'I thought, feeling adrenaline pour into my bloodstream.

"Max, are you OK?" Gazzy asked worriedly, right as we all heard gun shots.

I felt like my whole body froze over when I saw a bird-kid drop into the rubble. A black-winged bird-kid.

I couldn't really think straight after that, but I remember seeing another dark-winged bird kid tackle a cyborg in mid-air and heard another gunshot as they dropped down too.

I was on the ground and shaking and I think someone was talking to me, but I'm not sure who.

All I know was that one of those gunshots felt like it had hit my heart and the other, like it had barely missed it.

A.N- I feel like cliff-hangers are all I ever do now… hahah.

If you want to help me out a little, please leave some suggestions, for what should happen next, in a review. I don't really feel inspired anymore for what should happen after a time jump.

Also- I finished a (Manga) pic of Fang, Max and Dylan. Sorry it took so long but I've been really busy. Does anyone know how to attach a link to a profile? I couldn't find it on Google. Oh and I'm going to draw the whole group (Flock and Fang's gang) too, but it'll take a while.
