I was falling fast to my doom. I'd gone right through the door and was headed towards the storm.

"Max! Max!" I heard Jeb yell.

"What?" I yelled with all my might.

"Unfold your wings or something, don't enter the storm! It'll rip you to pieces!" Jeb called after me.

"Great advice from someone who tried to get ripped to pieces!" I yelled up to him and extended my wings.

"Well, I just thought the storm was amazing..."

"So, I thought we were over the whole science obsession thing now." I called up. I flapped my wings but got no where.

"Max,"

"I thought that's what those therapy lessons were for." I laughed softly.

"Max,"

"How long did you take those? Two... Four... Ten years?"

"Max, this isn't a time of joking or anything. Fly up here."

"No can do. I'm caught." I pointed to my left wing, which was stuck between a large piece of debris and a wall. "Oh, and the storm is getting pretty strong."

"Get her out!" I heard Fang yell.

"Well, no duh, dork-wad." Dylan replied. My wing started to really hurt. It was stuck pretty badly. Nice advice, Jeb.

"What can we do to help?" Tohru asked Dylan.

"Unless you can climb down there and get her wing out, nothing really." Dylan said. Tohru bent down to the broken door and stuck her foot out on it.

"It's stable." She whispered and put her left hand on the door. She crawled out on it.

"Tohru, what do you think you're doing?" Kyo yelled after her.

"Saving Max." She yelled back and jumped off the door. She grabbed onto a piece of debris that got stuck in a wall.

"Tohru, get back here!" Kyo exclaimed. The boy from earlier, Yuki, appeared behind Kyo.

"What's going on?" He asked in a calm voice.

"Max got stuck down there, so Tohru went to help." Fang answered him.

"What's all this mess?" Yuki pointed to the storm.

"A storm."

"You can see straight to the lobby from here!" Nudge said. No one was really paying any attention to her. Torhu had almost reached me now. She was climbing from wall to wall, like a monkey.

"You have wings! That's so amazing!" She felt my left wing. Her hand was ice cold.

"Yeah, yeah, save me!" I hissed in pain. Tohru moved her hand to where my wing was stuck. She pulled on my wing, but that did no good. She twisted it and shoved it around. I shrieked in pain.

"Max," Tohru sounded worried. "I'm going to yank on you're wing. It's going to hurt." And before I could say anything, she pulled my wing as hard as ever, and I heard a pop.

"Oh my freaking gosh!" I yelped. Tohru looked at me. Tears watered her eyes.

"I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to- I just-" My wing fell from the wall and I grabbed onto Tohru's outstretched hand. My wing couldn't move and it hurt so badly.

"Max!" The flock helped Tohru and I get up into the hallway. I crotched down in the corner of the hallway. Fang ran over to me.

"Are you okay?" He asked. Jeb ran over to me too.

"No." I hissed. "Don't ever try to commit suicide ever again. Either of you!" I smacked both of their heads.

"I'm sorry." Fang kissed my lips. I smiled.

"I except your apology!" I laughed. Jeb examined my wing.

"Max, your wing is broken." Jeb touched the feathers on it.

"Tohru!" Kyo and Yuki ran to Tohru.

"Hi guys!" She smiled.

"You're alive!" Kyo kissed her cheek and Yuki just smiled.

"Hey, Jeb, can I talk to you?" I touched Jeb's shoulder.

"Yes. And I'm glad you are okay." Jeb smiled.

"I'm not going to stay here and watch this crap go on. I have a family at home. So, evacuate Japan and where else you need to, but I'm going home." Jeb nodded and smiled.

"Of course. But you do realize you're going to still have to save the world, right?"

"Don't bother me about that." I hissed. The Gasman walked up to me and handed me my phone.

"It's for you." I took the phone.

"This is Max," I said into the phone.

"Hi Max, it's Ella. I came home from school and mom is gone! There was blood written on the wall that says 'Bring me Max.' Max, you have to find her!" So, my mom was kidnapped again. Whoop-die-doo!

"Alright. It'll take me a few days to recover but then I'll be right on it." I whispered. I shut the phone. "Anyone care to go to America?" I asked the group.

"I want to go!" Tohru exclaimed.

Please R&R!
