All of a sudden every light on the highway went out. Not that there had been many in the first place but still.

"Max." Nudge said from the back seat. Her voice was dripping with worry.

"What?" I asked keeping my eyes on the road.

"There's something following us." Angel said. At that I turned around and looked out the back window. There was something following us. About a dozen something's were flying behind us.

"Oh fudge." I said. I pushed the buttons for Fangs cell phone. Nudge had installed those hands-free things into the cars so we could talk easier.

"Max, do you see them to." Fangs said.

"Yeah, what are they. I can't see any wings. Can you guys?" I asked in the direction of the phone/mic thing.

"Well I can't see at all so-" Iggy started.

"Shut up Ig, no we cant see any wings or anything." Fang said. "Angel can you pick anything up from them?"

"Actually, yah I can. They are thinking like 'Capture the kids, the Dark Lord wants them.' Its creepy and scary." Angel said.

"Dark Lord?" I asked. "Who is this Dark Lord?"

"No idea. But they're catching up." Gazzy said.

"Nudge how fast can these things go?" I asked.

"Press the yellow button and you'll go reallllllllllly fast." She answered. I turned and looked at her but she just smiled at me innocently. So having no reason other than common sense I pressed the yellow button. I was suddenly flattened against my seat.

"NUDGE!!!!" I screamed but I figured that she couldn't hear me we were going so fast. I faintly heard Fang yelling but I couldn't be sure. I let go of the buttons and swung around to give Nudge a death glare.

"NUDGE WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!!!" I SCREAMED AT HER.

"NOS." She said a devilish grin on her face. "It makes you go really fast. And don't worry about it running out. The air is 97 (AN i cant really remember but if i recall correctly its somewhere around there so just bear wit me) nitrogen, and I built this thing into the grill so it takes in the nitrogen and converts it into NOS. Oh and if you press the purple button the hydraulics lift up so that you can go off oading. Oh and-" Angel put her hand over Nudge's mouth so that she stopped talking.

"Max!" Fang yelled. "We need to get off this highway. They'll hopefully have a harder time with obstacles."

"Fine press the purple button." I said pressing the said button myself. I instantly felt something below me. The ground seemed further away and the potholes didn't make as big of a bump.

"There!" Fang said through the phone. I followed him as he turned his car cut through darkness towards the nearest town. The flying things kept following us. Soon the darkness gave away to an industrialized city. I looked at the screen that Nudge had put in. Nothing.

"Give me the damn map for where ever the hell we are!" I yelled at the car. I almost burst out laughing when the screen finally did come up. Where the name of the town was supposed to be it said 'where ever the hell we are'.

The town was silent; nobody would be out at this hour of night. All the less people to worry about. I saw a donut shop up ahead with a big donut on the over hang. A little light bulb went off above my head.

"Fang stay ahead of me." I said as I pointed my car towards the rickety posts holding up the over hang. I smashed into them at 125mph so the crumpled like twigs. The donut broke free of the over hang and started rolling around on the street. A couple of the creepy flying things hit the donut, but a lot of them dogged it.

"Oh man that got to hurt!" Total yelled from between Angel and Nudge.

"Nice one Max!" Gazzy yelled excited. I could just imagine him punching the air.

The sound of a police siren snapped me back to reality.

"Shit, Max your little donut stunt caught a little unwanted attention." Fang said.

"Bite me." I snapped back. Two dozen police cars caught up with us in no time. Fang and I drove side by side keeping pace barely ahead of the cops. The roads were empty so we weren't slowing down at all. Suddenly two of them got on our sides. Now we were wall to car to car to car to car to wall. These people only make their roads so wide.

"Max. We need to split up. I'll go left you go right." Fang said. We came out of a tunnel and Fang went left I went right. I saw a water tower, what was that doing here? Oh well, I ran right into it. I was going so fast that by the time it came down I was well out of the way. The coppers weren't so lucky. It landed on four of them. Two of them stopped to help their fellow officers. I just kept going even though I knew that those who had been crushed were probably dead. I raced up a hill and into a back alley. They followed me through, none of them getting caught up. I shot out into what looked like the front of some rich persons yard. I raced down the road at top speed. Another road came and merged with the road I was driving on. Fang's car came up and slid beside me. I almost smiled but the crappy situation we were in stopped me.

RING RING.

"Yah, Fang how'd it go with your lot?" I asked.

"Fine, we hit so many jumps. Fang ran one over when it didn't go high enough. It was awesome." I herd Gazzy yelled, happiness and excitement. Now I smiled. His excitement was catchy.

"Yah he blew it up. It was so amazing!" Iggy said, in the same voice that Gazzy had.

"How do you know Ig you cant see." I said, relief making me tease him.

"BITE ME." Iggy said.

No one said anything as we drove. Suddenly I heard the gut wrenching noise of police sirens. SHIT. Heaven forbid we get a clean get away. They soon caught up with us as we began to drive towards a boat launching area. It looked like on of the ship yards where they build the ships. What the he double hockey sticks! This place was very random. Boat launches, water towers, and rich people's yards. I am mucho confused. But now is not the time.

"Fang. What are we gonna do?" I asked

"Max, do you trust me?"

"What!?!" I was even more cunfused.

"Do you trust me?" He asked me, slower.

"Yes."

"Then do EXACTALY what I say."

"Okay." I said. I looked at the GPS, it showed a 90 degree turn. Oh god, oh god. It was getting closer. 10 sec, 9 sec, 8 sec...

"Max grab the E-brake when I tell you an turn the wheel." Fang said. 3 sec, 2 sec, 1sec. "Now." I grabbed the E -brake and turned the wheel. Time seemed to slow down as the cars turned, side by side. I could see Iggy's face in the window.

Then time caught up to us as Fang yelled." NOS now Max." I pressed the button for the NOS. The police were coming right behind us. Suddenly there was a bridge right in front of us. It was one of those bridges that opens to let ships in. And it was opening. We were going about 185 mph, and that thing was huge. I had a second to think uh-oh and then we hit it. I know having wings and the flying thing should have made it easier to experience this but it was so weird in a car. We went up and then down. There was a smash and it felt like the whole world shook as the car hit the ground. And you know the funny thing, I couldn't hear the police cars anymore. I got out looked behind us. The police hadn't bothered to follow us so they were still on the other side of the bridge.

"Lets get out of here." Fang said. He had gotten out and was now standing beside his car.

"Not so fast." A voice said from behind me. I swung around.

A dozen tall figures stood there. And here's the kicker. They were all wearing dresses. Long, baggy sleeved dresses. They also had skull masks in front of their faces.

"Who are you, and if you don't get out of my way I'll run you over." Fang said. The rest of the flock had come out to see what was the matter.

"Ha, they have no idea who we are?!?" A female voice said. I didn't move. Last I checked we hadn't done anything to anger the committee of ugly dresses. But you never know.

"Get out of our way." Fang growled, in a deadly voice. Oh man that meant he was getting angry. Not good, I repeat not good. One of them started laughing hysterically. One of them pointed a piece of polished wood at me. There was an explosion and the cars started on fire. We all jumped back (Gazzy dragging Iggy) just as the fire reached the engine and blew up the cars.

Then all hell broke loose. Fang lunged at one of them, followed closely by Total and Nudge. Iggy and Gazzy yelled "Fire in the hole!" just as a huge amount of bombs went off right in the Skull Guys faces. I charged forward only to have one appear right in front of me. I darted around the sparks that she shot at me from her polishy, wood thing.

It's a wand Maximum. My dad said in my head. Yes, my dad talks to me in my head. And no, its not me thinking about what he would say. He was literally saying these things in my head.

Long time no hear Jeb.

It's a wand Maximum, they are using magic.

What!?!? Magic, what are you smoking?

Maximum, these are witches and wizards and they are using magic. They are trying to capture you so you and your flock can work for them.

Yah cause that worked out so well for those Chinese freaks didn't that?

The Skull Guy dodged me, and shot some more sparks, well I guess that it's a spell now. I spun around to face it and punched the Skull Guy in the face. And guess what, the skull came off. A woman was facing me. Her eyes were shrunken in and her skin was all white and pasty. Her eyes widened and then she dropped like a stone. I reached down and pulled her wand away from her hands.

"I'll take that." I said, walking away from her.

Angel was controlling the minds of two of them, making them... dance the ballet? She is one crazy kid. Fang was fight off three of them at once. Iggy was on the ground, unconscious. Gazzy and Nudge were fighting back to back, not doing much damage. Total was running around biting ankles. We were losing, for the first time ever. Maybe cause we couldn't get anywhere near them. Suddenly, I felt like I wasn't like myself. I turned and pointed the wand that I jacked from that lady, at the sky.

"Fireo Spinnida!" I yelled. Suddenly all the Skull Guys were thrown back from us and a flaming tornado touched down circling around us. Fang turned and looked at me.

"What did you do!?!?" He asked sounding scared and amazed. He pointed at the wand. "What is that?"

Suddenly all the noise seemed to leave and it was so silent. Oh god, what could happen now?
