Chapter 8: The Confrontation: part 1: New Enemy

When I got home, I grabbed Crystal out of her crib, and headed for the bathroom. When I got to the door, it was slightly ajar, so I kicked it in. "Iggy! Wake up!"

"Huh, who, what?.." she asked sleepily, nearly falling out of the tub. "What's wrong?"

"We have a major problem. I'm calling Max for an emergency flock meeting."

"Nudge, what's going on?"

"The School." I said, looking him straight in the eyes. He simply nodded his head. I ran to kitchen, and grabbed the phone. I dialed Max's cell number and waited.

"Hello?" Max answered sleepily.

"Max, it's Nudge."

"Nudge? Do you know what time it is?"

"Max, we need to have a flock meeting. It's important."

"How? It's a four hour drive home, and an hour long flight. What could possibly be so important?"

"The School. They found out about the twins."

"What!?" Max shouted. "Angel, Fang, Gaz, Ella, up and adam. Flock meeting. You're on speaker Nudge."

"Nudge, what's going on?" Angel asked through the phone. "Why did we have to get up in the middle of the night?"

"Because of the School. They sent some new hybrid jerk named Devon to talk with me."

"What did he say?" asked Fang.

"They know about the twins. They-"

"They do!?" Iggy exclaimed from behind me. I shook my head up and down, and put the phone on speaker.

"They know about them, and they want them. Devon said he was a new form of hybrid. He said he was part human, part bull, and part snake."

"Sounds bad." Ella said.

"It is. He gave me a demonstration of his power. It wasn't pretty." I explained to them exactly what I saw. Everyone got silent.

I then heard some rustling in the background. "I'm on my way home." Fang said. He was still a little upset from when I told him that Devon was stealthier then him. "I'm packing my backpack as we speak."

"I'm going too." Gazzy said.

"Me too." Angel added.

"Maybe we should all go." Ella said, trying to sound tough, but I knew she was scared.

"No." Fang said. "We need a counselor here to watch the group. Max has the most experience, so I think she should stay. No offense Ella, but I don't wanna have to watch make sure you're safe if this fight gets out of hand. I'm only letting them go cause they may be able to help."

"Fang's right." Max said. "It's probably safer to stay here."

"I understand. Just make sure you guys are careful." Ella said.

"We will. Nudge, we'll be there in an hour." Fang said.

"Alright. See you soon." And with that, I hung the phone.

1 hour later…..

I stood at the window, looking at the moon. God, it looked so beautiful. Then, I suddenly saw three figures in the distance. I used my raptor vision to focus in on them. It was Fang, Gazzy, and Angel. I was relieved to see them. I opened the window as they flew into the room. "Man am I glad to see you guys." I said, embracing them in hugs.

"Same here Nudge." Angel said, giving me one of her angelic smiles.

"Don't give that fake smile Angel. You're still in trouble."

She pouted and crossed her arms. "Fine."

"Anyway, we need a plan." I said, sitting down on the bed.

"We need to practice our fighting skills." Fang said in a leader like tone. "Especially you two." He said pointing to me and Iggy. "You two have been slacking off laetly."

"Umm, hello? Mother and Father of twins over here?" I said in a 'duh' kinda tone.

"Ok, ok. We have one week to prepare, so let's not waste any time." We all nodded in agreement.

1 week later (sorry, bt I really wanna get this story goin, so im gonna skip their training week. Nothing really happened)

It was the moment of truth. We had spent the week training for this fight, even though we really didn't know what we were up against. I mean, sure, we knew a little about Devon, and what he could do, but we still had no info on him. We also were sure that he would have reinforcement. There's no way they would send alone, right?

We waited patiently in the field, ready for whatever came our way. Then we a evil kinda laughter coming from around us. "Hm…. so dids shows up?" said a tan boy with brown hair, and tan skin. He seemed to have an old English accent.

As we all stood there watching him, a young girl walked out of the shadows as well. "I told you they would." She said, smiling at us. I could see the fangs in her mouth, and they were sharp. She had short brown hair, and green eyes. She looked like she was maybe ten years old, so not much younger then Angel.

"Well Kat, looks likes I owes yous 5 bucks." He replayed.

"It's kinda said. I was hoping to go lookin for them. I love the thrill of the chase!" she cheered.

"That's because your DNA is a combination of two different types of cats." Said another girl. She had blood red hair, brown eyes, and beautiful tan skin.

"Shut it Chelsey. I already know that. Not everyone can be part tiger and part swan." The younger one replied.

"Jealous much?" she said, flipping her hair out of her face.

"Don't make me kill you." She threatened.

"Girls, girls. Please. There's no need to fight over the best when it's clear that I'm the best." Said another boy. He had pale skin, blonde hair, and bluish gray eyes..

"What!?" they both shouted.

"Come on. It's pretty obvious, isn't it? I have the speed and agility of a kangaroo, and the strength of a bear. I'm the best hybrid ever."

"Yous also sleeps and snores like a bear." Said the tall boy.

"Shut it Sid! I'll maul you to death if you piss me off!" he threatened.

"Only if in yous can catch me." He laughed as he sat on the branch of the tree they were standing by.

"Don't give me that you…you….monkey bat!" he shouted.

"Oh Tony. Your insults hurts so much. I always knows yous was jealous of me gorilla strength and bat agility."

"Will you all shut up!?" Devon shouted, walking out of the shadows. "We came here for a reason, so let's get this over with!"

"Jeez. Soary D. Didn't mean to gets yous all upset." Sid said.

"Yea. We didn't mean it. We were just foolin around." Tony said as the five of them started to walk up to us.

"I don't care. I just wanna get this done and over with." They stopped a couple of feet in front of me. Devon looked at me with a smile on his face. "So, what's your choice?"

"What the hell do you think our answer is you nut job?" Iggy replied, cracking his knuckles.

"Well no needs to be gettin all rude like." Sid said.

"Why wouldn't I? You're trying to take my daughter's away to that hellhole, and you think that that doesn't call for rudeness!?" Iggy yelled back. His fist we're shaking. I grabbed his arm, restraining him so he wouldn't do something stupid.

"Best watch yourself. We knows more bouts you lot then you thinks." He said, giving Iggy an evil smile.

"You'd best wipe that smile off your ugly face before I do." Iggy threatened. All the Reconbrids (Recon Hybrids. Angel came up with the name for them while they were arguing with each other, and we all kinda liked it.) seemed to be a little surprised.

"Yous can see us?"

"Damn straight. So you best watch what you say and do."

"That won't matter. You're gonna get you're asses kicked, and then, we're gonna take the little brats with us." Kat said, her glassy eyes filled with excitement. I turned my head around to see Tiara and Crystal cowering in mom's arms.

"Listen, Tuna breath," Angel said, causing Kat's smile to fade. "You're gonna leave without them. In fact, you'll be lucky to leave at all."

"Oh really?"

"Yea. Really."

"Well we'll just see about that." She said.

"Yes. We will." Angel said back, as she snapped out wings. "You're out of your league, cat girl!"

Kat's face started to turn bright red. "Calm down Kat." Tony warned. "Don't let her get to you."

"I call debs on her. I'm gonna rip those wings right out." She said, clutching her fist at her sides.

"Well if we's callin victums, I wants the tall one wit the loud mouth." Sid said, pointing to Iggy.

"Gladly." Iggy said, smiling at him.

"I want the crazy kid with the blonde hair." Tony said, looking straight at Gazzy.

"Why thank you. I take that as a complement." Gazzy said, getting in his fighting stance.

"I'll take the ugly lookin freak with the muscles and the big mouth." Fang said, staring Devon down. "I wanna see if your really that tough."

Devon chuckled a little, and started punching his fist into his palm. "I'd love the honor of killing the infamous Fang. I'm sure your blog readers would love to hear bout your death."

"I wouldn't count on it." Fang said, stretching his arms.

"I guess that leaves mommy dearest to me." Chelsey said, smiling at me.

"Just cause I'm a mom, doesn't mean I won't kick your ass in front of my daughters. I will kill you to protect them. So if you think you can handle that, then let's go this."

"Big talk for such a weak fighter."

"We'll see about that." I said, smiling back at her. This is was it. The moment of truth. This was going to be the most important battle of my life. This is where it truly begins.

To Be Continued…….
