Since you've all been waiting so extra nice for an update, I thought what the heck. Why not give them two. So here you are. Two chapters for the price of one. This has a little bit of X5 and Pip fun for all who love to see that. Thanks for all who have read and reviewed and stayed with me this far. Thanks.
Both the X5's face lit up when they saw Max. "Maxie," the female muttered, as she came up and took up Max in a huge. "It's been too long, baby sister."
"You too, Jondy," she muttered, as she looked up at her. "What are you doing here?"
"Just keeping an eye out on someone," she replied, as she looked over at the other X5.
"Krit?" Max muttered, as she looked over at him. "I don't believe it."
"You better believe it, baby sis," he smirked, as he took her up in a hug. "But we have a bit of a situation."
"Where's Pip?" Alec asked, as he looked around them.
"Um, that would be it, and you are?"
"Alec," he replied, as his eyes narrowed as he looked past them to see Pip messing around with the X8. "Shit, you left her behind. Nice. Biggs, come on." They then took off, in a blur for the fence line."
"Nice," Jondy smirked, as she looked over at Max. "X5s and all."
"Don't start with me," Max snapped, as she looked over at them both. "You guys left her behind."
"Not on purpose. We thought she was behind us."
"Well, by some odd luck she wasn't."
"Gah...you just couldn't grow up." Max started towards the fence line to watch as Biggs and Alec jumped over it and took off towards Pip and the X8. "And X8, she's facing and X8. Oh, great. What else could go wrong?"
"Well she's not facing the X5 she was earlier," Jondy pointed out, only to get a harsh glare from Max. "Oops, maybe this wasn't the best time to tell you that."
"Yeah," Zane whispered, as he slid an arm around her shoulders. "But you guys did good. "I mean come on. You at least kept the little one alive. We give you credit for that."
"Yeah, well, she befriend Krit, the credit goes to Pip, not us."
"True," Zane teased, as they watched the male X5s skeak up on the X8 and Pip. "Now ya gotta wonder how they're gonna break it to that X8, that they're not happen with him."
"Oh, the only way an X5 can," Krit said with a smirk. "You gotta ask. How far is he gonna be flying?" That got the X5s to chuckle, as they turned to watch the scene ahead of them. "Let's hope they all play nice."
"I'm not worried," Max whispered.
"Oh, you should be," Syl said, as she grabbed onto Zane's arm to get his attention. Their eyes looked to see squadrons of X7s running towards were Pip and the others were, plus some X5s and some X6s in the mix. "Can't they just leave them alone."
"No," Krit muttered as he took off down for the fence, with Max right behind him. "Ah, coming with me, little sis, to make sure that I don't cause any trouble."
"No, just making sure, Alec doesn't cause any trouble more likely."
"Sounds about right."
Pip was just knocked down by the X8 when clapping came out from behind him, and he spun around to face two male X5s. He get out a growl, as he quickly pulled Pip in front of him, and twisted her arm behind her. "What do you want, Sir?" he asked Alec, as he continued to twist Pip's arm. "I do not have all that much time. The others will be coming soon."
"We know," Alec replied, as he shot a concerned look down at Pip. "You all right?"
"What took you so long?" she demanded, as she struggled against the X8. "Got lost or had to ask for directions?"
"Told you," Biggs whispered to Alec, as he caught sight of the horde heading toward them. "Heads up, trouble coming our way."
"I see them," Alec mouthed, as he turned his attention back to the X8, who held his daughter. "Okay, you have two choices. "We're gonna do this the easy way, or the hard way."
"There is never an easy way, Sir," the X8 replied, as he tightened his hold on Pip's arm. "You and I both know that."
"True." Alec then blurred and knocked him aside, and Biggs was there to help Pip up from the ground. "Just remember not to touch her again." He then shoved him away from them. He then turned to face Pip. "You okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine," she answered, as she looked up at the two towering X5s. "But you guys did take a long time." She then hugged Biggs first then turned to hug Alec. "I'm glad that you're here. Did you see the 'others'? I feel behind. I didn't mean too." There soon was tears in her eyes. "I was just tired and then I ran into him, and it was bad."
"I know, kiddo," Biggs said, as he ran a hand through her hair. "Bad stuff happens to the best of us. "The first time your dad tried to jump a fence like that, he got caught in it, and ended up hanging from it."
"Really?"
"Don't fill her head with nonsense, Biggs," Alec muttered, as he looked down at Pip. "But you did good, Pip. Maxie would be proud."
"Um, we should be jetting now," Pip called out, as she grabbed onto both of their arms, when she spotted the others coming towards them. "They don't look friendly." They looked up to see they were surrounded. "Oh, this can't be good."

Author's Note.
I know it was somewhat of a short chapter, but I'm working on the next ones. At least Pip is back with the others, somewhat.
