A/n. Please review. :D

When we reached our destination, we were surprised to find Vince, Aqua, and Fang already outside. It was to me a battle of powers and Vince knew he had all the cards.

Not all the cards, a little Voice said in my ear.

SLOAN?! I yelled in my head.

Ow! Yes, its me he answered, you don't have to yell.

Oh, sorry so why doesn't Vince hold all the cards.

Just think of your dream Max, he said.

Oh great now your going back to talking in code.

"So you've all come," said Vince "Dia, Amy, Helen, Maximum, and your crew well, part of your crew."

"Vince, you've done it again your just lucky Grant was unavailable, or else you would just be a pile of bones. Remember what he promised to do if you ever took Aqua again?" said Helen, and for a moment, I saw fear flicker in his eyes.

"Aqua." He commanded, and before I knew it, the rest of my Flock was beside Vince instead of behind me.

"What the!" I cried out, "You give them back to me or I'll…"

"Or you will what?" he answered "Punch me out? Snap my neck? Now you see normally those things work if you can actually get to the person. Aqua." He said again and once again something happened a force field went up around Vince, my Flock and Aqua, that's when I noticed Aqua's eyes they weren't clear, icy blue anymore they were grey and lifeless.

"Aqua! Stop it!" I screamed.

"Max," Dr. John said "she can't stop it Vince is inside her and she can't do anything without his permission."

"Don't worry, dear Maximum, all will be all right" said Vince, "That is it will be all right if you willingly serve me!" I looked down, defeated, what could I do he had my Flock, he has Aqua, I was just about to give in to do something I vowed NEVER to do when I heard a little Voice in my head.

Remember your dream, Max.

I remembered all that suffering caused by him; as long as he was alive, there would be so many suffering.

"No." I said.

"Then your friends must die!" he said venomously. He went up to Nudge and put his hand on her head, she started screaming, and then she collapsed.

"NO!" I yelled, "Nudge," I moaned.

"Do you surrender, now?" he asked.

"No." I said.

"Then they will all die" he said. He quickly went to every single one of my Flock, except Iggy and my dear little Angel.

"There is still hope" he said, "I can bring them back, if you will just be my servant, do you surrender?"

"NO!" I said with more force then ever, and this time something happened, shockwaves came out from my body and knocked everyone to the ground except Angel she seemed to be knocked into a yellow hole.

When Max sent out world waves I knew it was my time to act I gathered up my neck chain and from my shirt retrieved a dagger I had hidden there for a special reason. I knew the consequences, but it was the only way. I stabbed Vince through the heart. He died instantly. My neck chain fell off, I looked down at my hands, sure enough my body had become insubstantial. I was not a ghost but neither was I alive, I was just pretty much a fog. I was free but oh what a price!

A/n We're almost there just to let you know none of the Flock is dead. Angel is…..can't tell you that just yet. Iggy is in perfect health, but Fang, Nudge, and Gasman, are in comas. I know I know a little lame, but it will all make sense in the next chappie! Review:D
