I woke up. I was strapped down to those things that were like dentist chairs.

"Max. It's me, Jeb."

Great. I gathered all the sarcasm and rudeness I could.

"What do you want, idiot?"

He looked hurt. "I didn't send Josie to attack you, if that's what you're thinking. That was a dream."

"Nice try, you already played that trick on me."

"No, this time I'm serious. You know how you hit that wall out there?"

"Wall?" Oh, that was the thing I had blacked out from, wasn't it?

"Yeah. It was the boundaries of the dream. We didn't expect you to escape after that, so we narrowed the area down to just the School.

Most of that I didn't understand. "Whatever." I dropped my head back on the chair.

"See? There's Fang." Jeb pointed to another chair.

And Fang was actually laying there! Now I wanted to believe that everything before this was a dream.

"Fang!" I said, but he was asleep.

Jeb sighed. "Max, you're being retired today. All of you."

I glared at him. But, by now, it wasn't surprising news.

"Okay. Let us live our final hours alone, please."

"No, Max, you're being retired right now. I'm going to take you to the lab, now."

Now way.

Not right now.

He unstrapped me, and I took the chance to burst off across the room to Fang.

"Max, don't..." I unstrapped him.

"Fang, get up!" I yelled. "Now!"

He didn't move, so I tried to shake him.

"Max..." Jeb said again.

I touched Fang, and my hand went right through him.

"A... hologram?"

Fang flickered away, and it was just an empty bed now. Then everything changed.

Now I was in a white room. Wire were attached to me, leading to small boxes. I tried to move but I couldn't. There was a window next to me, and I could see a group of Whitecoats again.

Then the scene changed again.

Whitecoat POV

"Great! There's something in Max that is messing up everything." I said. Well, Max wasn't here. We were signaling fake things into her mind through an antenna to where ever she was. Because, with her knocked out, it will be easier to capture her.

Confusing? Yes. But, here was the situation:

Iggy captured the flock with other Erasers. Then, he helped them escape. But when Max was flying away, she rammed into Fang who had escaped from somewhere else. She passed out, and Fang carried her. This was our chance to make her think she was at the School again so she wouldn't wake up as easily.

But something was messing it up.

Fang POV

That weirdo Daniel let me escape. He apparently didn't need me anymore, so I was going to look for Max.

I was near the School. That was the best place to start looking.

I zoomed around it, looking for a window to climb through.

BANG!

Something hit me. I started to lose altitude. Quickly, I spread my wings again and looked to see what I hit.

Max.

Max flew into me.

I arrowed down and scooped her in my arms. She was knocked out.

"Fang, your back!" Nudge screamed.

A/N: This was probably the hardest chapter I have ever written. I know the story-line, but it's really hard to write it! Sorry if it's confusing. Anyway, in the next chapter the flock is going to have to face an army of Fang! ^_^ Yup! Keep R&Ring!
