Anika: Okay, there is a pretty big cliffy at the end.
Aj: Also, I'm going to tell you right now that I think this is a pretty epic chapter. Read on to know what I mean.
Pain. Unbearable and unspeakable pain. She was cold, lifeless, and dead. Gone forever from this cruel world that I have spent a year trying to save. It was my entire fault that my half-sister was like this. If I had just kept on flying when I saw those goons coming up on her then she would have healed from whatever they did to her, but I saved her and the school marked her as a target. Our mom had been kidnapped because of me and tortured, but I continued to see her and now this happened to Ella. She was placed into what still haunted my nightmares and her body couldn't take it. Heck, I almost couldn't take it, but Jen had taken me out for a period of time. To make matters worse, this isolation tank was much worse. Like on a scale of 1 to 10 of how much worse it was, it scored at least a 26. My eyes blazed in fury and pain. This wasn't Ella's fight, yet she ended up being a casualty in this war. I always stand up for the little guy.
My eyes locked onto the man who had caused her death. He actually looked sincerely sorry, the jerk. I lunged at him, but failed to notice from my rage that the goons behind him had guns. They shot at me, but bullets weren't released. Tasers flew out and clung to my body pulsing electricity through my veins making me writhe on the floor right in front of the loon himself. Fang wasn't kidding about the Dr. Phil hairstyle either. You could copy write that thing. I tried to fight the darkness looming because of the pain, but it was overwhelming. I clung on though and kicked with the only energy I had left at the Dr. Phil wannabe. It was weak and probably only left a small bruise and soon the darkness had me in its grasp and clutched me away into pitch black.
I woke up in a cage about my height and quickly got to my feet. I was in some kind of video monitored blank room. It made me feel a pang of despair to tell you the truth, but I quickly pushed that feeling away from me. Then the Dr. Phil wannabe walked in through some kind of invisible door and started strolling towards me. Great, just great. The bars of the cage were most likely electric so I couldn't even strangle the guy.
"Hello Maximum." He greeted cheerily. Well he wasn't the one in the cage.
"Hello kidnapping half-sister murdering psychotic nutcase." I replied smiling. He sighed and paced in front of my cage. I felt like a zoo exhibit. Before I knew it someone would probably throw peanuts at me.
"I am truly sorry about your sister Maximum. It wasn't my intention to kill her, but I knew you would come if we had her, alone. While we had her though, we decided to see her genetic makeup so we could find an answer to why you are so special. We find Angel more advanced then you, with all her powers, plus you are uncooperative and don't listen to reason. She actually considers our ideas though and has a wonderful display of powers. What do you have to offer that is special?" He ranted. God, he was worse then Nudge.
"Do the wings not do it for you?" I asked.
"In this case, no. All of the population of the earth will soon have wings. Anything else?"
"Well, I can kick anyone's butt. If you don't believe me then let me out of this cage so I can show you firsthand." I suggested brightly. A nerdy looking guy came up to the Dr. Phil wannabe and held up a large file with my picture on the front. He opened it and read through the pages containing info on how difficult yours truly is. What can I say; I'm a natural at pissing people off. It's a gift. His frown turned into a look of pleasure.
"Well, Maximum it says you have super speed and excelled ahead of the rest of your flock in every test they've given you. It also says that you are a born, or should I say made, leader. You also defeated the perfect experiment, Omega, in hand to hand combat. I am quite impressed." He complimented.
"And no gold star?" I mocked hurt. He acted as if he had never heard me.
"You could be a great addition to my army. Your side is a lost cause and you are too valuable to just die along with your silly flock." He offered.
"Thanks, but no thanks." I refused.
"So you're going to stay on the side of Fang who has constantly betrayed you, left you, and gotten you and the others in trouble because he was trying to lead. As much trouble as getting caught by the school. Why are you on that side? I am going to make everyone's dream come true." He persuaded.
"Thanks a lot Walt Disney, but think about all of the people who are going to get killed by your 'dreams come true' plan." He scowled at me.
"What about that serum in your body that I could easily activate if you went against me?" He blackmailed.
"Go ahead. I'm not going to be controlled." I retorted. He scowled at me.
"Not yet Maximum. Blakely! Take her to B7!" He screamed at the nerdy white coat. He nodded and wheeled my cage away. I noticed he was wearing rubber gloves so that he couldn't get electrocuted. To cut things short, he took me to a room that looked like a complete replica of Iggy's and strapped me down to a freezing cold metal operating table. Then The Dr. Phil wannabe strolled in and picked up a carving knife from a drawer. He walked over to me and put a white coat around his pinstriped suit.
"You made me do this Maximum." He told me then he slashed my side with the knife. I stifled a scream as the pain settled in, white-hot. I was panting raggedly so no tears or screams would escape my dry throat. He smiled crookedly then placed a leather strap over my mouth. He sliced my arms three times and I couldn't help it when the pains mixed together like flowing lava, I screamed. He cut and hacked me again and again and once he placed a burning metal rod on my arm. I was starting to become dizzy from pain, but I wouldn't allow myself to become unconscious. During the whole torture session a little blonde demon had come in and watched me scream in pain and rage for hours with a completely emotionless face. That actually hurt more then my body being hacked away by Walt Disney on drugs. He eventually stopped and took the strap off of my mouth.
"Do you agree to join me now?" He asked.
"Go to hell." I choked out with the energy that I had left. He looked shocked, but then regained himself. He stuck a needle into my calf and I screamed again once whatever he had put into me reached my blood stream. He undid the restraints and expected me to be too woozy from the pain to move, but I kicked him in the face and he clutched his nose, which was now gushing blood. I started to run wobbly, but Angel flung me against the wall with her creepy telekinesis thing and I couldn't move from that position.
"I'll keep her here. You two go ahead and activate the serum." Angel told the two in her sweet little girl voice. Angel. Why are you doing this? I asked mentally. Her cold eyes swiveled to face me and she scowled. I'm better then you. I should be the one to save the world. She answered back harshly. A tear streaked down my face, but she didn't seem to care. She only cared about herself. The Dr. Phil wannabe pressed a button and looked at me with sympathy. Yeah, this from the guy who just hacked me up a few minutes ago. Angel looked at me and said aloud, "Time for you to die."
Five minutes passed and she looked slightly confused.
"What's your problem? Besides all of the crazy world domination stuff." I asked.
"You should be showing symptoms by now." She stated bored.
"Well I just want a glass of water, it's freaking hot in here." I panted from my dry throat. She smiled a sick, cruel, evil smile that made me all warm and fuzzy inside.
"It's begun."
Aj: Yeah, I'm that cruel that I'll leave you there.
