Chapter 9: The Confrontation Part 2: The Fight
This is it folks….the big fight scene. I took a couple days to think it up, and I really hope you all like it. It's all from Nudge's POV, but it will mention how the others are doing. But I'm gonna tell you all now: If I don't get some seriously awesome reviews, then you'll have to wait a looong time to get the next chapter…and trust me, you're gonna want the next one soon. So get ready, cause here it comes!

This was it. The moment of truth. I was ready to take this fight as far as I had to. I took a quick look around at the others. They were already fighting. It was just me and Chelsey, staring each other down. Angel was dive bombing toward Kat, who was crouching down, ready to strike.
Gazzy had just thrown one of his home made smoke bombs at Tony, who was completely invisible because of the smoke. Gazzy was charging toward it, when Tony suddenly sprang out of the smoke, and slammed into Gazzy. Hard.
Fang and Devon were throwing punch after punch at each other. Then, they smashed fist together, sending them both back a couple of feet. Fang then used his camouflage power to disappear. Now I know what your thinkin: What good is that if he can't move? Well we took care of that. Fang's spent the last couple of years working on that, and he figured out how to do it while moving. Devon backed up slowly, scanning the area for him, when Fang suddenly reappeared behind him, and punched him square in the jaw.
Iggy was doing pretty good. He had Sid in a really tight headlock. Sid was struggling to get free, which gave Iggy a satisfied look on his face. Then, Iggy was suddenly flung back about 5 feet of so. When he looked at Sid, he was shocked. Sid had wings! But they weren't wings like ours. They were Bat wings. They were long, thin, and pitch black. Sid turned and smiled at Iggy as he jumped into the air. Iggy was angry with Sid's taunting, and followed him into the air.
"So, Nudge, right?" Chelsey asked.
"That's me." I said without emotion.
"Do you really think you can beat me? Do you really think you're gonna win?"
"I don't know. I can't predict the future. But here's something I do know: Even if I don't win, I'm not gonna lose either. I will protect them, no matter what happens. I won't rest til they're safe." I said, preparing myself for the fight.
She started chuckling. "You're so pathetic Nudge! In fact, you're so pathetic, I'll let you have the first hit."
"You'll regret that decision." I said as I charged straight at her.
As I got closer, I snapped out my wings, and jumped into the air. I glided right over her head, just barely missing her. "Hey! Watch the hair!" she shouted.
"What's wrong? Just got it done?" I joked.
"Yes! And it was expensive." Without warning, I landed, did a quick front flip, and planted a good, hard kick to her chest. She flew back a couple of feet. She was holding her chest right where I hit her, and slowly lifted her head to look at me. By the time her head was up, I had punched her in the stomach. As all the wind came out of her at once, I grabbed her head, and kneed her right in the face.
As she staggered backwards, she held her nose, which looked like it was broken. She glared at me through her fingers, and started to growl like a tiger. "You bitch! Now, you're gonna pay!" she lowered herself to the ground in a low crouch. I figured she getting ready to pounce, so I got ready for a quick up and away, but then something else happened. She started shaking violently, almost like she was having a seizure.
I watched as her skin started to change. All over her body, black strips started to appear, almost like a tiger's strips. Then, her teeth started to growl. Her fangs slowly elongated in what looked like a painful way. I then stared straight into her eyes. They weren't brown anymore. They were green, and glassy, like a cat's. She then let out a loud roar that nearly made me jump.
"What the hell!?" I said.
"So, what do you think of my little transformation? I'm not big on the strips, but I do love the claws and the teeth." She stood on both her feet now, and showed me her claws that had changed from her previously perfectly manicured nails. I started to get a little nervous, but tried not to show it.
"Lovely. Let me clip them for you!" I said, charging at her. I through a quick punch at her, but she dodged it and keed me in the stomach. Then, she slammed her elbow into the back of my head.
I landed on the ground, face first, and clutched my stomach. I've never been hit this hard before. Not even the Erasers hit that hard. I thought to myself. I slowly got to my feet, only to be met with a punch to the face.
"What's the matter? I thought you were tougher than that? Maybe if I go over there and use your daughter's as punching bags, you'll be a little more motivated." She said as she tried to kick me. I grabbed her leg, and drug her about twenty feet into the air.
I held on to her, and started to spin in a circle, picking up speed. I spun faster and faster, ready to hurl her as far as I could. "Bye Bye!" I said, releasing her.
"Ahh!" she yelled as she flew toward the ground like a comet falling to the earth. She hit the ground with a loud crash, and skidded back a good twenty five feet or so. I lowered myself to the ground, and examined to huge hole in the ground. Everything was quiet. Could it really be over? Could she really be dead? No. That seems too easy.
She slowly climbed out of the ground, and got to her feet. She was breathing heavily, and she seemed to have a couple of good cuts and bruises on her. Her jeans were torn, and her t-shirt's left sleeve was completely torn off.
"How dare you!?" she screeched at me.
"That's what happens when you mess with me." I said, smiling at her. "I thought you said you could handle it?" I taunted her.
She glared at me, and showed her elongated fangs. "You're dead!" she said, charging at me. She tried to punch me, I ducked just in time. I punched her punched her right in the stomach, and slid my foot under her feet, causing her to fall, and land on her back.
I stood over her, and looked at her with disgust. "Why work for them? Is it really worth hurting people?"
"I….I have…my reasons." She said as she started to get up. She kicked both her feet into ribs, grabbed me by my shirt, and flung me over her. I landed on my back with a thud, and tried to get up, but was pinned down by Chelsey.
As she laid on top of me, she punched me repeatedly in the face. I could feel the blood gathering in my mouth and nose, but I was helpless. She stopped punching me, grabbed me by my shirt, and lifted me so I was eye level with her. "I came here to get those kids because that's what they told me to do. I was told I would get what I wanted if I helped them, so that's why I'm here."
"I don't care what your reason is. You're not going to hurt my daughters! Mom! Delta 7!" I shouted. I turned my head to see Mom taking off for the forest.
"Get them!" Chelsey shouted. She got off me, and ran after them. I tried to turn over, and get up, but I felt a sharp pain in my ribs. Damn. I think she broke one. I slowly got to my feet, and saw that Kat was gone too. I looked around, and saw an exhausted Angel laying on the ground.
I looked around for anyone else. I saw both Gazzy and Tony breathing hard as they laid on the ground, both bruised, tired, and bloody.
Fang was still fight Devon, who looked pretty tired. It looked like Fang was actually gonna win. But I decided that I would worry about that later.
"AHHH!" I looked up to see Iggy covering his ears. Sid had his mouth open, and I could hear a low screeching noise coming from him. I then realized what was happening. Sid was part bat, which meant he had super sonar. The way I figured, the School increased it to a high pitch, making it a super screech attack. That's one deadly ability.
"Iggy!" I yelled. I ran over to him, ignoring the pain in my rib. As he plummeted to the ground, I tried to think of a way to help him.
"Nudge!" he screamed from the air.
"I'm coming Iggy!" I called to him.
"Don't worry about me! Get to the girls! I'll be fine!" he said.
I wasn't sure if I believed him cause I could see blood coming from his ears. But he was right. I had to get to the girls and Mom. "Ok. I'll come back for all of you." I said as I ran straight into the forest. As I ran past tree after tree, I saw what looked like claw marks. God no! Please let them be ok. Please let me get to them in time!
Then, I caught sight of Mom. "Mom!" I shouted. She turned, and smiled, relieved to see me.
"Nudge!" she turned and ran toward me. I could see Crystal and Tiara were still safe. I opened my arms to embrace the three of them, when I was suddenly tackled to the ground.
"Sorry bouts that, but we'll be takens them little ones." Sid said, pinning me down.
I struggled trying to escape as Kat and Chelsey closed in on them. "Mom, RUN!" I screamed, but she didn't move. "Mom! Go!" but she still didn't move.
"Don't waste your breath." Kat said, smiling at me. "She's under my hypnotic control. It's just a little something I can do with my eyes."
My heart sank. "Crystal, Tiara! Fly! You have to fly away! Get out of here!" I shouted to them both. Crystal was scared out of her mind of flying, and this wasn't gonna help.
"Mommy…." Crystal whispered to me.
"Go!" I shouted. Tiara grabbed Crystal, and tried to fly away, but Crystal was too scared, and started struggling, causing her to fall. Tiara, scared out of her mind, flew back toward the battlefield.
Crystal laid on the ground, quivering as Chelsey walked over to her. Chelsey stood there, hovering over her, but she didn't do anything. "What are you waiting for?" Kat yelled. " Grab her?"
"I…I can't…." she whispered.
"What!?" Kat shouted out of anger.
"I can't!" Chelsey shouted back.
"Then I wills." Sid said, getting off me. He ran over to Crystal, grabbed her, and through her into a brown sac as she cried and screamed.
"No!" I screamed. They took, heading back for the battlefield. I got off the ground, and ran after them. Crystal! Crystal! I won't let them take her! As I got to the field, I saw them climb into a helicopter. Tiara had made here safely, and was clutching Iggy's torn shirt. "Iggy, they have Crystal!" I shouted, extending my wings, chasing after them.
"Nudge, be careful!" he called after me.
As I got closer, I saw that Devon had the sac with Crystal in it. I flapped my wings hard, determined to get to them. I got into the open door on the huge copter, and tried to grab the sac. I grabbed it, but as I tried to snatch it way from Devon, he bite my arm. "Ahh!" I screamed. I could feel the venom as it spread to the rest of my body. I started to go numb, feeling helpless. "Crystal…." I said as they put a bag over my head, and stuck a tube in my nose. I knew what was going on. I hated to think about it, but I was on my way back to the School……
To Be Continued…..
