A/N: Hey, Sorry I didn't update in so long… I EVEN HAD TO GO BACK AND READ THE LAST CHAPTER! Yeah. It was that bad. So, enjoy chapter 8 and enjoy this story! DON"T FORGET TO READ I'm BACK BY ANNA RIDE! AND HER OTHER STORY, LIFE HATES ME! IT"S SO GOOD IT DESERVES CAPS LOCK! Also, a big thanks to her too! She gave me an idea! So, review your ideas to me because I am running out of them. PS, You might not see another Fang point of view for a while.

Max/Phoe POV

What do I do? You might ask? Well, I would say, kick their butts! If you don't know what just happened, a bunch of Flyboy 2.0's invaded.

As you know, because I am the all-powerful Maximum Ride, a bunch of ego kicking for you there, I just got out my awesome elements. (A/N: Not elephants, like Word said.)

I stood relaxed, leaning on the tree, watching everyone tense and get into fighting positions. I smirked. Now that I think about it, I probably look suspicious. The Flyboys looked confused that I was so relaxed.

"We have come for Max-high-mum Ride." They said. God, these are worse than the first Fly boys. Even the first weren't THAT bad!

Wait-Maximum Ride? (INSERT VARIOUS CURSE WORDS) I'm supposed to be Phoe! Hopefully, they don't find anything.

I did a once over to make sure that no one had their wings out. Luckily, no one did. Maybe the Flyboys will get confused, thinking we're humans and leave! Yay.

"She is not here. Let us go." The Flyboys said. YES! (A/N: HA Ha! You thought I would reveal it!)

I all but visibly sighed with relief. Either way, I could have fought them off. As soon as they turned their backs on us, I quickly and quietly blew them away with fire, literally. Don't look at me like that! Even if they weren't going to attack us, I don't want a bunch of Flyboys after us! Would you?

I turned around to see everybody attempting to camouflage with the trees. Basically, they were hiding. I raised an eyebrow in question. You know how stupid they looked? Heck, even FANG was turned invisible.

I understood Lilly and Angel's need, actually, not really. What the Hell was so scary about these dudes? Then, both flocks came out casually, as if they were trying to look cool. They really should make their Flyboys fire proof. You think they would've learnt by now.

"Well, it's just that, these guys have bullets and um, they could, like defeat us." Quail said. I nodded in response, as if I understood, when I really didn't.

I mean, come on! We've faced worse dangers before and they all hid! I am disappointed in them. Of course, I never said any of this. But then again, it did make my job easier. You know, to burn the entire robot Erasers.

Desiree came back out of the forest holding fire wood.

"Seriously, Phoe? Just burn them all to death, not letting us have any of the fun?" She questioned.

I smirked and replied, "Well, technically, they were never alive…"

Desiree sighed exasperated in response. He he he. Oh no, Nudge is opening her mouth. The only worse thing would be if both Stelton and Nudge opened their mouths.

"Oh my gummy bears, Phoe! That was like, totally awesome! We were all, 'we have to hide! There are too many Flyboys!' And like, 'what's she doing? She's going to get herself killed!' Fang was even about to come and rescue you like he usually does for Max and her hero thingy! It's like you two are exactly alike! Then, you were all, 'I'm cool and this is nothing.' And then it was like WHOOSH and all the Flyboys were gone! Of course, they are like 'where is Max-high-mum Ride' and as soon as they turned around, they didn't know what hit them! I never knew robots had emotions. Hm, maybe Angel could mind control these ones! Imagine if a blender had emotions. It would be all, 'I'm tired.' And you would be all, 'No, I need you to work now!' Or a computer had emotions! That would be so weird! Sometimes, I wonder if Fang was a robot. But, I know now because of the way he used to look at Max and y", Stelton actually slapped his hand over Nudge's mouth.

Well that's ironic. The chatterbox stopping the other chatterbox's rant. Honestly, they could make a cute couple if needed. Okay, enough girly thoughts.

"Well, now that Flyboys(Flyboies?) have found us, I think we have to get out of here, like now. U&A!" I stated, starting to get back on track.

Flying up into the air, I saw my old flock sitting there and I hastily added on, "Both Flocks!"

Everyone brightened up.

"Guys, you really thought that I would let the other flock stay behind? We clearly have to work together now that we've found each other." I stated, surprised they didn't get it.

"So, where are we going?" Angel asked me.

Oops. I clearly forgot to think about it.

Max, now that you're on track, you have to collect info from California. By the way, you're in Georgia.

At least the Voice isn't being mean anymore.

I take offense.

Like I wasn't when you pummeled me brain attack after brain attack? I replied sarcastically.

…

Looks like that got it to shut up.

Looking up at my surroundings, I saw everyone worriedly looking at me.

"Sorry, zoned out." I said.

"Voice?" Fang asked.

I looked at him, surprised. He seemed surprised too. By surprised, I mean the widening of the eyes. It must have been instinct to him to ask that.

"Yeah…How did you know?" I questioned.

He seemed even more surprised; if possible, that he actually got it. By more surprised, I mean his mouth opened a tiny bit. You would have to know him from childhood to get that he was surprised.

Looking away, I told the flocks we were headed to California, probably going northwest.

"We're going to stop in two places before we go to California. So today, we'll be doing the most of the flying. Today, so that Flyboys won't be able to locate us as easily." I told them part of the game plan.

I knew in here, one of us is a traitor. So, I didn't tell them that we were stopping in Kansas, and then in Utah, before we get to California. Double checking my mind blocks, I continued flying.

California, Here we come.
