AN: Hullo! Here's the next chapter. Thanks for reading. Enjoy!
Disclaimer: We don't own Maximum Ride and blah blah blah...
Nudge swiveled around and let out a shriek. Max watched with wide eyes as Fang hurtled towards the ground. She froze for barely a moment before she snapped into action, tucking in her wings and diving down to him. A thick cable was wrapped around his throat and it was being used to tug him to the tiny figure standing below in a clearing. Fang awkwardly made an effort to spread his wings to reduce speed but it only made a fraction of a difference before he crashed into the earth with an explosion of dust.
"Fang!" Max screamed and switched on her full speed before landing in a defensive crouch.
Racing towards his crumpled form she heard a light thud and footsteps and knew Nudge was not far behind. Fang lay in a small crater with clumps of dirt sitting on his cable was still snaked tightly around his throat. Max knelt down beside him and gripped his hand. His eyes fluttered open and he made a small choking sound. Max followed the rope of metal with her own eyes and saw none other than Ari holding a gun that was attached to the cable.
"You," she spat out, burning rage making her see red.
She vaguely heard Nudge cry, "OMG! Fang!" and she stood up and stepped out of the crater.
Ari smiled innocently. Well, as innocently as a giant wolf-like man with huge fangs and cold eyes could look. "Hello there Max. Long time no see."
"Let him go," Max growled.
"Now, now. I'm just having a little fun. No need to get mad."
"Let him go," she repeated.
"Or what? I'm gonna get spanked by my big old sister?" Ari taunted, retracting the cable an inch further and causing Fang to wheeze.
"I'll kick your pathetic butt into next week!" Max screeched then promptly tackled the Eraser.
She knocked the cable-gun thingy out of his hairy hands and got in a good elbow to the gut. Ari gasped but quickly punched Max in the face that sent her stumbling back a few steps, stars bursting at the sides of her vision. Regaining her balance she whipped out her wings and sprung up a couple of feet into the air before dropping down on Ari's broad shoulders with both feet extended and what she hoped was the force of a running train. He buckled and landed face first into the dirt with Max on top of him. Squirming around he threw a wild punch that she caught easily. Twisting his meaty wrist she heard a satisfying snap and was about to wreak more damage but a roar ripped out of Ari and he managed to toss her off of him. He kicked her, who was sprawled on the floor, savagely and Max felt a rib crack. Her breath whooshing out of her lungs she scrambled to her feet before he could try another kick. Fuming, she began to unleash a powerful roundhouse kick when someone smacked her down and she felt two pairs of hairy hands grip her arms firmly. Looking at the owners she noticed that a mass of about eighty Erasers surrounding them.
She cursed. How could she not have seen them? They weren't exactly the most silent creatures. With that thought she scanned the area and spotted Fang fighting with all he got. He was extremely battered and one of his wings was bent slightly. Nudge wasn't doing any better. That was the last thing she saw before a vine of searing electricity rattled her bones and darkness consumed her.
