Hi people! Another chapter by yours truly!

Chapter Six

Watching

Fang's POV

"Watching and learning, eh? Okay, I will watch you bellow in agony and learn what it takes to snap every bone in your body,"

Jeb narrowed his eyes. I copied him.

"Zat's it! Zey are going in ze dungen!"

Oh.

Bortch walked in, cheery as could be, his face red and his eyes like ugly black beatles.

"Hello, Bortch. How are you today? Plan any more executions? This time am I going to the genetically enhanced gallows?" I snarled.

"Enough! Robots, take zem to de dungon!"

"Enough! Robots, take zem to de dungon!" I mimiced in his voice, thanks to my ability to absorb abilities through touch. And Gazzy just so happened to be touching me through the crate bars.

A Flyboy dragged us out and pulled us down into a room I reconized.

"Ah, back in the ol' death chamber, eh?" I muttered. The Flyboys tossed us to the ground on the white tile and shut the door behind them.

Gaz sniffled and came over, gripping my hand. Iggy listened to his footsteps, trying to figure out where he was.

Just a month before, I had been killed by Omega in this very room. Omega was dead since I killed him, so...yeah. Wonderful.

I looked around, trying to figure out two things:

One: Why we were here...duh.

Two: Why the heck Bortch called this a dungen. Nothing medivel about this place.

So...we sat there.

Watching.

Max's POV

"Max? How are we going to get in this time?"

I pondered on the very same question myself. How were we going to get in the School without explosives or a plan? Beats me.

I looked at Nudge, who had spoken, then at Angel. Total sniffed the ground nonchalantly.

"Max?"

I looked back at Angel, her beautiful blue eyes looking into mine, blonde cornrows beginning to fuzz.

"Yes, sweetheart?"

"Last time we were in the school, I somehow got something from someone. Like, a code for shutting down Flyboys. I just remembered."

I was surprised, no doubt. "What is it?"

She grinned. "Six sixty-seven. The number of us in the flock and our ages added up together."

"Hey!" Total whined from below, "I am not part of the flock?"

"Unless you have some wings on your person, no. You're part of our family? Sure."

Anyway, I stood out in the clearing a few minutes later, my stomach churning.

The Flyboys all turned to glance at me, their eyes narrowed, red eyes gleaming.

"We will destroy - " they began.

"Six sixty-seven!" I barked, trying to sound as mature as I could.

The robots looked confused, then they made whirring noises and shut down.

Interesting.

Anyway, we ran right past them, into the School. A lot of those schmucks saw us, but Angel made them forget we were here. Until, of course, we ran into Jeb.

"Hello, sweetheart," he smiled at me.

This was just soooo confusing. He's good, he's evil, he's kinda good, now he's evil again. He really needs to settle on something.

"No, Max, I don't need to settle on anything. You need to get yourself to the room they were taken."

"Mind reader, eh? Anyway, what room? And are you talking about my flock?" I snapped.

He was quiet.

"A room," he said at last.

The room.

Oh. That room.

Fang's POV

By the way, watching is very boring after a while.

So, just as we were on the brink of going nuts, two Flyboys came in.

"Hey, how are you doing? Ready for some butt-kicking?" I snapped.

"We need Subjects Eight and Ten." the bots droned.

"What, am I not special enough?" I muttered. The Gasman gripped my arm tighter and buried his face into my arm.

"I don't want to go with them," he whispered almost silently.

"I know," I replied.

Iggy made a stubborn face and narrowed his eyes. He walked over and stood next to Gasser.

"No," he said firmly.

"Yes," they droned. Then, before I could blink, they tore Iggy away from our trio and ripped Gaz away from me so hard he screamed and I nearly fell over. Iggy was shouting furiously and Gasman started to cry like there was no hope.

One Flyboy cuffed me in the head, hard, and I fell back, surprised. When I looked up, the Gasman and Iggy were gone.

Leaving me all alone in my death chamber.

Silence.

Now what?

Hee hee...I am so evil! Cliffies hanging everywhere! Lol...

Anyway, hoped you liked it!
