Hey it's me again, so here's chapter 17, thanks for the reviews I like them. Anyhow I think I'm going to take a break on my other story to finish this one up, I don't have time to do both right now, but when this one is done I'll go back to my other story. So here you go, my story. Disclaimer: I don't own Max ride.

Chapter 17: Learning True Meanings

MPOV

There were so many, just so freaking many it was unbelievable. And the worst part: most of them were robots rather than the old fashioned flesh Erasers. Well this official has ruined my day completely.

"Let's get this over with then." I growled curling up my fists already pouncing on my toes slightly. Even if we couldn't win these guys were still going to regret trying to capture us. Oh they would regret it big time, I can guarantee that.

"You can surrender now Maximum. That way no one will get hurt." One of the original flesh Erasers snickered licking his chops. "Or we could do this our way." His cackled in laughter from his position in front of us, making me want to punch his lights out harder.

"In your dreams dog face." I snapped. The Eraser sighed with a smug grin on his lips.

"Okay we tried. Remember boys the director wants them alive." The Eraser hissed and then, rights then the punches were thrown right at us. From everywhere, my left, right, back, and front. There were even some of the special winged Erasers surveying the skies above us. There really was no where to go. Again.

I hissed as a nasty metal Eraser slammed his thick heavy fist into the side of my face, with the rush of blood running in my mouth and the pain a new anger fired through my veins as I turned to give back my revenge.

From the corner of my eye I could see Fang was holding up against his own pack of Erasers, still upright but one eyes was already swelled shut. Next to him Gazzy and Angel were fighting back to back looking like little sneaky thieves, innocent on the outside, twisted and fearful on the inside. Gazzy was more fist fighting and Angel looked like she was talking to the Erasers. Yeah talking them to their death or misery, you know, through her mind. To my left Nudge was also on her own with Erasers ganging up on her by the second. Blood was falling slightly off her chin sending chills down my spine. How long would we last?

Mt attention returned to my problems as I ducked an oncoming lung for my throat, pulling my legs out to knock the beast down. With the help of a roundhouse kick I managed to let one fall to the cold ground. And with a leap I cupped my hands over the other Eraser's to hearing the satisfying sound of the eardrums popping and the shriek of the "mighty" Eraser.

Pain splashed through my cheeks as thick, hard claws raked across my face sending my to the ground. As the Eraser roared ready to strike again I managed to grab the beasts arm inches from my face when a thought came to my mind. Opening my mouth wide, I chomped down on its hand tasting the bleeding skin as it broke under my teeth. The eraser yelled, it swore yanking his hand away while I managed a gut kick right into him.

Let me tell you though, it wasn't as good as you'd think. Ugh, it tasted like old mold and dirt mixed together, while the hair stuck to my tongue and the taste of blood. Yuck! That's one word to describe it. There's also disgusting, repulsive, awful, and down right gross.

To my left I froze in horror when I saw Angel face down in the cold dirt, limp and out cold. Gazzy was barely standing upright holding his own against his gang, until I watched him crumpled to the ground once and did not get up again. My throat was closing as I sprinted over the two only to be snatched down by two more Erasers. They slammed me face first into the dirt cackling in triumph.

Behind me I hear the stiffened shriek of pain coming from Nudge and the sound of a person falling to the ground. Nudge.

The leader bent down right next to my ear and whispered, "Let's all go back to where you belong. Heck, you'll probably even see that blind freak, if he's still alive."

And that's when everything went black, the noises around me stopped, I lost myself into unconsciousness awaiting our doom.

"Max? Max you okay? Max?" Gazzy small young voice came around hours later, I didn't need to open my eyes to know where we were. The fear in Gazzy's voice was told me enough. It told me we were back, back at the School.

Cold, everything was so cold wherever I was now. I woke up to the cold sweeping all over my body. I managed to actually sit up this time and shook my head. Huh, what day was it? How long has it been, I seem to have lost track I guess. My eyes opened up blinking rapidly when I realized I could see right now.

No there wasn't anyone moving right now, it was just I was in a completely white room, the walls had all been painted white, the tiles were white, everything was white, including the machine attached to me. An IV was connected dripping into my arm slowly by the minute followed by the continues beating and rhythm of a heart monitor.

Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep.

I felt a frown crawl on my face, but let out only a sigh as I glanced around my new surrounding. No bed, no windows, no food, no water, absolutely nothing. Just me, my machines, and a mirror. Odd enough to say I got my own mirror.

Despite the temperature slowly dropping I couldn't help but stare at the mirror in front of me, to stare at well, me. I didn't know why but it was strange to finally see my self again. To know no what I actually looked like, and not imagine it anymore. This was me, and a smile crept upon the boy's lips in front of me, upon me. This was me, and I was proud.

I turned away staring at the whiteness around me beginning to shiver finally realizing the cold around me, it was like being back in Antarctica almost. Trying to stay awake as long as I could I let my thoughts roam around my head.

What did everyone else look like? Was Max like I always imagined? Did Fang look like I last remembered? How had Nudge changed, or my best friend Gazzy? But also, what did Angel look like; I mean she hadn't been born when I lost my sight. I met her afterwards when I was blind. Everyone always said she looked like an angel, but I wanted to see now. With my own eyes. What was the sunset like? What were colors like? I mean the blues, the reds, the greens, what were they like? I wanted more than anything to leave this place and explore the world with my eyes now, with no one else's.

There was a loud bang, and snarl followed by a whimper as I turned my head in the direction of the metal door to find little old Spark lying on his back watching the white ceiling.

"Hiya." He turned his attention over to me sitting down. His breath could clearly be seen as he spoke in the cold and I smiled down at the boy.

"Hey kid. I guess we wait now." I sighed looking back at the mirror that still amazed me in wonder. Next to me Spark shrugged and sighed.

I guess we wait.

So there, it was kinda mellow maybe or not. I guess, it's up to you. So yeah I'll probably only have a few more chapters then maybe a sequel depending whether or not you guys liked this story, because I've got an interesting ending. I warn though things will twist for Iggy impacting the flock. Until next chapter, please review, they're nice.
