Chapter 22

"Let's blow this joint."

Right as the words left my mouth, sirens started going off all around us, with red lights flashing on the ceiling.

The Flocks and my heads snapped up just as the alarms sounded, freezing in out positions.

"Now the alarms choose to go off?!" Nudge cried, throwing her hands up in the air.

Suddenly, a pack of Erasers ran around the corner of the hall. There were about 25 of them, maybe more. They all were morphed, and some of them (actually most of them) had a gun on them.

I felt my eyes widened as they pointed the guns at us.

Crap…

"Go, go, go!!" I yelled at the Flock, shoving them out of the make shift door the Gasman and Iggy made.

I had pushed Fang out just as a bullet flew by ear, making me deaf for a second. I dived out of the window and snapped open my wings while screaming, "U and A!! Now!!"

The Flock jumped up into the air and started flying away.

Just as I jumped up, a rough, furry hand grabbed my ankle, pulling me back down.

"Let go!" I yelled at him, while pumping my wings and trying to shake him off at the same time.

I managed to kick him in the face with my other foot, making him release my ankle. I beat my wings up and down to try and rise higher into the air.

"Hurry Max!!" Fang yelled down at me.

Whoa, déjà vu.

He and the Flock were high in the sky, out of shooting range.

I on the other hand…

The Eraser I had kicked in the head had recovered, and was jumping up, swatting at me.

I stuck my tongue out at him before using my super speed to fly next to the flock.

"Bout time…" Fang muttered, frowning at me from the corner of his eye.

I just waved him off and looked down.

With my super, enhanced, awesome, bird-kid vision, I could see the Erasers raising their guns towards us, aiming. I signaled my Flock (tapped Iggy on his shoulder) to fly higher, just in case the bullet somehow reached us.

"Ig, when's that bomb of yours supposed to go off?" I asked him.

He frowned, "In about 3 minutes." He rubbed his chin and looked towards the Gasman's direction.

"Gaz, you did connect the blue wire with the green one, right?"

Gazzy's eyes widened a little, "The green one!" he cried out "You told me the yellow one!"

Iggy's eyes widened like the Gasman's, except his were about the size of Jupiter.

"Th-the yellow one?" he stuttered, "Uh oh…"

"What's wrong with the yellow one?" Fang asked hesitantly.

"Oh no…" I heard Angel mutter.

"Iggy, Gasser," I said, my voice tight, "What does the blue connected to the yellow wire do?" I looked between them.

The both gulped and look at each other before Iggy answered nervously.

"It, uh, it…explodes."

I blinked.

Umm…Well Iggy, if you had forgotten Bomb = boom!

"Well isn't that the point!" Nudge yelled with her eyebrows raised, "Bomb's are supposed to explode. Duuh!"

"You don't understand." Gazzy said slowly, "It explodes, but…about ten times larger than it's supposed to."

I took in a deep breath as it sunk in.

"Max…" Fang said warningly.

"I'm fine, I'm…" I silently counted to ten.

Then I couldn't hold it in, "ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME!!!!"

The Gasman and Iggy's eyes grew large.

"M-Max, listen-"

"W-we didn't-"

I glared at them in a way that said, "You are in deep, deep, trouble."

Gazzy quickly flew behind Iggy to hide from my glare. Iggy helplessly tried to not meet my face. Even though he was blind, he could still feel my

"Max," Fang said, flying in front of me to grab my attention, and maybe spare the two pyros, "I know you ticked, but if that bomb should go off soon…"

I knew Fang was right.

I sighed before yelling, "Ok, let's skedaddle before we turn into bird kid stew. Fly east, and as fast as you can!"

They immediately started flying as fast as their wings could push them.

******************** (^_^) GIVE ME COOKIE!!************************************

We were almost a mile away when the bomb exploded.

The Gasman and Iggy were right. The even a few miles away from the building the explosion still hit us. Even in the air, it sent us flying backwards.

As I was flipping backwards into the air, out of the corner of my eye I could see Iggy holding onto the Gasman for dear life. Nudge looked like she was about to freak, Angel was trying to concentrate on keeping herself straight, and Fang was kind of riding with it. Controlling where he was going in the weird, amazing way of his.

We all managed somehow to stay in the air the whole time. When the explosion was finally over we could see a cloud of smoke coming from where the Scho-well, whatever that place was.

I checked over the Flock to make sure they were alright.

Gazzy and Iggy had big grins on their faces, proud of the explosion.

Proud my butt…

I made a note that I would kick their proud butts later.

Angel was flying by Nudge, trying to help her fix her tangled hair.

I nearly laughed at the sight of Nudges mangled mass of hair. She looked like a fluffy poodle.

"Max!" Angel scolded inside my head.

"Sorry Ange, but you know it's true"

She gave a small giggle, "Yeah."

Fang was brushing the dust that had swept up off his clothes.

"I'm sorry Max." the Voice suddenly said into my head, "I'm so sorry."

I was confused, but also a little wary.

"Um, what are you exactly talking about Voice."

The Voice sounded like he or she was regretting whatever had to happen to me.

But what was going to happen to me?

Wait…

No!! I can't die yet!! Not now!!!

"Voice! Please don't let me die now! Please!"

Wow, who'd think they see the day where Maximum Ride says "Please."

I could almost hear the voice sigh.

"Max, you might want to rethink that…"

Crazy Voice inside my head say wha'…

That's when I got the brain attack, and everything went dark.

Don't you just love life?

Like it?

Love it?

Hate it?

Would rather eat your computer than read this again?

Review!

Please!

Thanks!
