A/N- BIG thanks to everyone who reviewed! I still don't know where the Flock should go, so if you have an idea PLEASE TELL ME!!!!! Okay, on to the story! Wait, reread ch. 4 before reading this chapter. I re-did it, so there's some more Faxness. You don't have to, but it's kind of a really good idea.
Disclaimer- I think you get the picture by now.
We spun around and froze. A huge cloud of Flyboys were coming towards us, and we were way outnumbered.
"Max?" Fang's voice was normal, but I could see how his fists were clenched and his jaw was tight. "Options?"
Okay, okay, think. "Fight." I said in a "duh" voice. "Iggy, Gazzy, go up on top and drop any bombs you have. Nudge, Angel, you two gang up on one at a time. Take 'em down slowly, and don't take too many on at once. Iggy, Gazzy, once you're out of bombs help Nudge and Angel."
Total was in the carrier thing Mom gave us, (cough baby carrier cough)on Iggy's back. "What about me?!" He called indignantly.
I rolled my eyes. "Just, be Iggy's eyes or something."
Total nodded solemnly and everyone flew off to their assigned positions.
I looked at Fang and, sensing my gaze, he looked at me. "You ready?"
He laughed humorlessly. "As ready as I'll ever be."
And then, all of a sudden, the Flyboys were on us.
A Flyboy flew up to me and I punched his nose/snout thing in. He fell to the ground, and another one quickly replaced him. He threw a punch that hit my stomach so hard it took my breath away. I flew upwards, but not fast enough, seeing as he punched my thigh. Pain is merely a message. I spun around and with a roundhouse kick and got his head, right at the back. He fell too, and I took a quick second to see how everyone else was doing.
Iggy and Gazzy still had a couple of bombs left, and were taking out about five Flyboys with each bomb. Nudge and Angel had taken out one, and were starting to attack another. Fang had three ganging up on him, but he was doing fine.
Then I dragged my attention back to the fight and saw a Flyboy coming straight at me. I flew up and came down right behind him, and kicked him at the base of his spine for all I was worth, which, according to Jeb, was a couple million dollars. His legs crumpled, and I remembered the fight in Lendeheim. Then his glowing red eyes went blank and he fell.
"Angel! Nudge!" I called urgently, and they looked at me. I kicked another Flyboy at the base of his spine, and he fell too. They nodded, telling me that they understood. "Tell I and G!" I added, and they flitted off through the fight to tell Iggy and Gazzy.
While I, meanwhile, went to find Fang.
When I finally found him he was fighting four Flyboys at once. I swooped in and kicked one, then moved in so Fang and I were back-to-back.
"Fang, kick them at the base of their spine." I whispered. "It's a design flaw, and they crumple." Fang nodded, and I went to find more prey… I mean, Flyboys to kill. Though, they are my prey, cause I am 2 bird.
Anyway, eventually there were no more left. We were all exhausted, and extremely thankful that there weren't any more.
We were just about to fly down and rest for a bit when I saw another cloud coming.
I pointed it out to Fang, who groaned. "Please tell me that's a rain cloud."
Everyone else spun around to see what we were talking about and gasped. Well, except for Iggy.
"What? Guys, come on, I can't see! What is it?" He didn't sound too happy.
Gazzy told him and Iggy whistled. "Holy-"
"Iggy!" I cut him off.
I squinted and saw that there were only about twenty. But we were all bone tired, and hungry. Gazzy and Angel looked like they were about to fall out of the sky.
So I made a snap decision. "Gazzy, Angel, take Total and head down to find a campsite. Make a fire, and we'll find you. If we're not there in… two hours, head to Mom's house. Got it?"
They nodded and swooped down, with Gazzy carrying Total.
"Okay guys." I said to my remaining flock. "There's about twenty, so if each of us takes out five we should be good. Iggy, you and Fang stick together, and I'll stick with Nudge. If anything happens, we retreat. Got it?"
They all nodded, and my heart swelled.
We fanned out and faced the coming swarm of Flyboys. But there were only two.
Fang looked at me as if to say "Where the &$# did the other eighteen go?!"
I just shrugged. "Uhh, okay, there's only two. I could have sworn…whatever. Iggy, Fang, go take care of them, and Nudge and I'll look out for any more."
The boys nodded and flew forward to fight the two remaining Flyboys. The minute they started fighting a furry hand wrapped itself around my waist. Before I could scream another hand clamped my mouth shut. My eyes darted over to Nudge, who was going through the same experience.
Then I looked at the boys to see if they had noticed anything, but they were busy fighting the two Flyboys.
I looked a Nudge to see how many Flyboys were restraining her. There was one with his hand on her mouth and his other hand holding her long, unruly hair, one with both hands around her waist, and one clamping her arms to her side.
So, if I was in the same position that was six Flyboys total. Wait, there was one holding my legs together, too. So that was eight, plus the two that Fang and Iggy were fighting makes ten.
There was nothing I could do, so Nudge and I had to wait until Fang and Iggy noticed.
After what felt like forever they dispatched the Flyboys and turned to us. Fang froze and Iggy flew into his back.
I heard Iggy whisper "What's going on?"
Fang paused for a second then answered. "Nudge and Max have both been…restrained by the Flyboys Max thought she saw earlier. There's eight holding them, and two hovering behind them."
Oh. I hadn't noticed the two behind us. Whatever. We could take them.
Then I heard the scariest noise in the world.
I heard…
A/N-HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! I know you really want to kill me now. That was probably the worst cliffy EVER!!!!
So, what did you think of my first action scene? I liked it, but I want to know what you think. I'll definitely update tomorrow, after practice. THAT JUST HAPPENS TO START AT 6:30 IN THE MORNING!!!!!!!! So I have to go to sleep, otherwise I'll be a zombie in the morning. Review, please!!!
