I know how you people feel about getting impatient, trust me; i've been there.

I don't own Maximum Ride.

Rebel's POV

It only took about a week to teach them how to fight, once they did learn how to fight we decided to have a little fun.

We stood in the same arena we had met Dustin in; everyone was quiet as they waited for us. I was talking privately to Dustin. "Do you think they're ready?"

I nodded. "They have to be; come on it's not like they'll be gravely injured."

He sighed. "Fine but let's make this fun, a bet."

I crossed my arms. "Okay, the Director told us that you'll be covering everything up when we do missions. That means you stay behind, if my team wins you babysit Reggy."

He grinned. "And if my team wins you do everything I tell you for a month."

I shook his hand. "Deal, now let's give them the news."

We waked back to where they were waiting. "So Izzy, what are we doing?"

I grinned. "We're going to have a little competition, boys against girls."

They all cheered. Dustin interrupted. "We need to see who the best fighters are, we'll start with one against one, boy against girl."

I nodded. "Okay JJ and Tony you two are fighting; Emma and Eddie you two also; and Sage and Ian. Now the people of the same gender are part of a team, that means that you can help the people on your team. Last one standing will face either me or Dustin."

Dustin and I stepped back. "Take your positions."

They all got in fighting stances but they were still grinning. "Okay" I looked at Dustin and shrugged "Start fighting I guess."

We watched as they all fought each-other. We had taught them differently; I taught the girls to use flexibility and speed, Dustin had taught the boys to use muscle and speed. Over all we had different fighting techniques but we were equally matched.

Too bad I had taught the girls some tricks I knew so the boys didn't stand a chance.

Finally after about fifteen minutes the first one down was Eddie, I watched as Emma threw him on the floor and bent his arm back.

I raised my hands in the air. "Yes, one down two to go." Emma came up to me and we high-fived. "Good job Emma."

The others stopped fighting and looked at her. JJ and Sage were grinning while Tony and Ian were in the same position Eddie had been earlier. The girls immediately got off them and walked over to me. I watched Dustin who just looked at them in shock. "Close your mouth Dustin, you'll catch flies."

I chuckled. "Looks like I found my babysitter, now comes the fun part."

JJ crossed her arms. "I thought that was very fun."

I grinned. "Yes but now the difficult part; you three fight each-other."

The three of them looked at each-other, I grinned even wider. "But to make this more interesting; a bet if you will." I turned to look at the boys. "Who do you think will win?"

They looked at me with wide eyes, they looked scared to answer. I smiled "I was just playing, you don't have to tell me."

They sighed in relief as the girls looked at them amused. I couldn't help but to giggle. "Anyways, you three ready?" They nodded and stepped to the middle of the arena. "Just remember not to kill each-other and, begin."

They fought for a while and it was very fun to watch them kicking and punching each-other but finally the winner out of the three was JJ. I smirked, this I was expecting.

JJ smiled and walked up to me. "So who am I fighting, you or Dustin?"

Dustin and I looked at each-other before answering her. "Both."

Her eyes grew wide as she stepped back. Dustin smiled. "But we're going to be nice, choose one of them to help you."

JJ looked at everyone. "Emma."

Emma smiled and walked over to us. "This is going to be so cool."

She walked over to JJ and they both grinned. I looked at Dustin and while JJ and Emma were distracted we took them on.

They both got back to back as I took JJ and Dustin took Emma. We circled them slowly and they kept their eyes on us, waiting for us to attack.

Finally Dustin and I attacked them both at the same time. They managed to block most of the blows but some of them managed to hit their targets. Divert Emma from JJ.

Will do. I kept throwing punches at JJ, taking her away from Emma. Dustin was also taking Emma away from JJ.

JJ tried to kick me but I jumped out of the way just in time. I started throwing more punches and kicking her whenever I had an opening. I realized that she wasn't protecting her legs and kicked them, making her fall of her back.

Before she could get up I ran to her and turned her around; pinning her arms behind her. "I win, ha!"

"Fine; you win but can you let me go?" I let go of her arms and she got up.

Emma and Dustin came up to us. "That was so cool, Izzy."

I smiled as I tried to catch my breath. "It was harder than I imagined." I looked at everyone than at Dustin. "I think they're ready."

He nodded. "In that case we should tell the Director."
