Maximum Ride: Finding Myself Chapters10
Chapter 10
"Quiet!" screamed a lady, and the room suddenly rebounded in total silence.
"Shut up, Valker." a man's French voice reproached. "Ve all know vhy ve are here."
"Oh?" came the voice of the Director, Marian Janssen. "And why would that be, Borcht?"
"Zat is Ter Borcht to you, you sniveling liar!"
"Will you please both just shut up!" asked a handsome youth with wavy chestnut hair and tortoise shell eyes.
"If you shut-up to, Doggie! "Came the exasperated French's voice.
"I say, I resemble that remark!" came the pealing musical voice of the red-headed freckle-faced Lissa, who sat next to the brunette youth.
"Just because you don't have any Eraser DNA doesn't mean you have to be jealous of those who have it! I mean, it's not our faults you decided to give me and Sam the better life!"
"Quite right," said a small Asian man. Turning to Lissa he said, "Though I do believe the correct wording is Sam and I. No wonder our Erasers are so stupid. They haven't even been taught the basics!"
"Shut up ya stupid lizard boy!" a blonde youth- called Omega- with striking blue eyes exploded.
"You're talking to the girl who almost had that gothic bird boy in her hands! Unlike you, who had your cover blown by that freaking' blind one!"
"It's not my fault you didn't screw my head on properly! Anyway, you shouldn't be talking. You are lucky enough we could give your mindless body a soul, or you'd be like all our other ending creations, a total failure!"
"Dylan was not a failure! Now that the gothen one is out of the way, we can dispose of him and rule that entire gad off stupid feather brains!" screamed Dr. Günther Haagen, another well known -for literally flipping your organs inside/out- doctor.
"But you were almost a frozen pile of bloody hell before your minions found you!" the normally quite and composed but now deranged Lissa screeched.
"Omega is right." intoned a green shapeless hulk referred to as the 'Gozen'. "The girl almost had him, as did I."
"But you let zem get avay!" the voice of the sulking Ter Borcht cut in. " And you let ze Uber-Director be destroyed!"
The Director interrupted his cutting remarks with her own comeback. "You let the little girl one bash you up like a toy! Only you would be stupid enough to trust on of them!"
" T'vas not me it vas Baldatcher!"
"Then it was you who was stupid enough to trust him!" she returned, eyes blazing with a warning fire.
"Speaking of Jeb, where is that devil's-incarnate?' Dr. Chu intoned." The lying creep was supposed to be here with the thuggies he's sending for the girl's capture over an hour ago!"
"Will you all just shut your mindless voices up!" Anne Walker's clear and evilly cold voice cut in.
"The Head wants to speak to you!"
The Head.
Like magic words the room fell truly silent, each one remembering their last visit with the Head.
While some came out joyful and rewarded, the rest came back with worse things to deal with then what their next paycheck would be.
Slowly and powerfully he rose from his place beside Anne at the front of the table.
To anyone else not in this powerful circle, the Head would look like a jolly Santa Clause, complete with chubby cheeks and a button-red nose. But they knew different. Under his nice exterior masked a truly dark demeanor. One of hell, chaos, and pain.
Which was he was the Head, because he had never failed before.
"We are here today to discuss the eldest bird girl, known currently as experiment 6847-21294/3543, or Maximum Ride. Though we, unsuccessfully, have tried to bring her down, we have also failed to do so with the proper tools." He turned form his almost frantic pacing at the head of the table and stopped, looking each of them in the eye with his inescapable menacing stare. "This is why I called you in, six months ago, to conduct your own studies on the bird kid's strengths, weaknesses, and basically their genetic make-up. Well, your time is up. Today, prepared or no, you tell us about your topics full interest."
Sam raised his hand. "Head, I was aware that you said temporary alliances could be formed due to the undergo of the topics. Lissa here, and myself, have created a twice as long extent study. Are you saying we must all perform our selected duties all in on advanced night?"
The Head smiled, before answering the handsome youth's questions. " Yes, in fact, it will give our Doctor here," he said with a motion to Gunther Haagen," A chance to test his new radio active solider serum. This vial is a small sample of his genius lab conducting experiments. This serum, once injected in your veins, interacts with your bodily function system, combining a few mutual cells together to give your body unlimited energy access, within a five day period."
The Doctor got up, and swiftly injected a series of vile-looking injections into each of the scientists at the lab table.
Appropriately enough, rain began falling and lighting cascaded as thunder boomed as the last of the injections were made, to the Head himself.
The effects were instantaneous. People reacted at their own paces, some screaming horrible blood-curdling screams, while some had their arms legs, and head lolled uncontrollably with spasms.
Suddenly they stopped, and the tormented slowly picked themselves up with a new, profound and scary-like energy.
The Head smiled maniacally, and with three simple words, his doom of the bird kids began.
"Let's start now."
