[A/N] Chapter 5! Enjoy…

Disclaimer: I do not own Maximum Ride

Our rage of war started. Our only target was Itex and our goal was to destroy Itex and find Nudge and Gasman. The first lab we attacked was in Utah. Like always we worked as a team; Fang found as much information he could on the internet, Iggy supplied all of the ammo…aka bombs, Angel's job was to get us in and the experiments out, and me? Well, I had to put everything else together.

All of the planning took two days, on the third day we attacked and when we left the compound all you could see was a burnt down building. Similarly, that was what the other five Itex buildings looked liked. Nevada, California, Colorado, Kansas and Iowa all had newspaper headlines saying, "Kids Bomb Down Building". Good and bad things came out of our frenzy: we managed to find out that Florida was the home of the main school in America. But the bad thing was the others were nowhere to be seen.

On the 23rd of April, exactly 21 days since Gazzy was taken, we ate breakfast at a small fast food place. There was just one hour left until the bomb Iggy installed the day before, went off. We had plenty of time, I thought as we ate across the street from the tight-security compound. All four of us had breakfast like a happy family, it was part of our story I had told the cop that was smoking outside. Apparently, this place was always broken into. But frankly, I didn't care at all; we were going to leave anyway.

"Max? I need to go to the toilet…" stated Angel as she tugged at my grey sleeve.

"I'll go with her," Iggy sighed. Ever since this whole thing started, I became more careful, more paranoid. So I had made it a rule that wherever or whatever you do, someone had to be with you.

I started panicking after 10 minutes ticked by. Iggy and Angel hadn't come back, something was wrong. My stomach churned as Fang and I made our way to the toilets hidden behind the restaurant.

"Iggy? Angel?" I called while blocking the stink from entering my nose. But there was no answer. Stepping around the corner, we collided into flyboys. The good thing was flyboys must have been built without ears because they were just as surprised as we were. My mind was racing, my heart was pounding and adrenalin was racing around inside my body. I leapt onto my feet and scanned the disgusting alleyway, Fang who was beside me had already recovered and was on his feet facing the flyboys.

A second later, all hell broke loose. Fists, kicks and sparks were flying everywhere, it was complete chaos. I thought I was doing well until I realised none of the ugly robots were falling down. I did a roundhouse kick to the nearest flyboy; I smiled as I heard its neck crack above all of the noise. But that smiled faded when the robot didn't go down.

'Click' my face went pale. Slowly, I turned around raising my hands. Time seemed to stand still between the gunman and I. 'Bang' it went off and I went down. Fortunately, the bullet missed my head by less than a centimetre. But it wasn't over yet. From the floor, I heard the next bullet click into place. Oh crap…My eyelids were shut tightly; once again I waited for the pain. And once again it didn't come. Instead, a strange crackling sound replaced it. I opened my eyes and smirked, luck was on our side; Fang stood just a few metres away holding a long green hose.

"So I guess the whitecoats aren't smart enough to make these guys waterproof yet…" joked Fang.

Laughing, I got onto my feet and lead the way into the tiny restroom. "Iggy? Angel?" I called again but this time my heart leapt as Fang found Iggy in the last cubicle. As Fang shook an unconscious Iggy awake I continued my search for Angel. But she was nowhere to be found. Desperately, I ran over to Iggy who was now conscious and said one word – Angel.

"Max, she's gone, they took her," choked Iggy as he spat out blood. Nudging Fang aside, I quietly left the disgusting room with a piece of my heart missing.

[A/N] Did ya like it? Yes, no. Got any improvements and/or suggestions?

I haven't even started chapter 6 because I need to know if you guys would rather Fang and Max or Iggy and Max.

So, I got one word for you… REVIEW!
