The Outpost
Max's POV
Dammit! Why do we always have to keep running?! We finally manage to settle down for a year or two and meet some people but those damned sadistic scientists won't leave us alone!! I thought we destroyed Itex already anyway?!
You destroyed Itex, Max, The Voice piped up, but another company, Gentec, has rise to take it's place.
What?! You mean there is another company of sadistic bastards that call themselves scientists?!
That's exactly what I mean
Damnit! I thought. Can't anyone ever give us a fucking break?? So where is this new place then?
He was taken to The Outpost, Max, it's just outside of Houston, Texas.
Uggh... We've got a ways to go then...
I glanced over and saw Fang giving me an odd look, 'The Voice' I mouthed. He nodded in understanding. I needed to tell Fang and Philip about this, because right now we were kind of just going in circles. I searched for a good spot to land in the forest we were flying over, I spotted a nice clearing next to a lake and prayed to what ever god there is that the Erasers weren't following us.
"Let's land down there and take a break!" I hollered over the wind, pointing.
They both nodded and started descending towards the clearing. I dived after them, waiting until the last second to flare my wings and slow down. Diving has always been my favorite part of flying. Anyway, we landed and I told them what the voice had said. We all knew that Itex was long gone, but we definitely weren't expecting another company to come and take it's place, at least, not yet. We ended up staying in that clearing for the rest of the night, and I took first watch. Tomorrow we would hopefully begin our journey to Texas...

Philip's POV
I woke to a hard boot pressed against my throat, Erasers. Damn. I saw Max and Fang each being held by multiple Erasers, we didn't stand a chance. I brought up my hands and tried to push the Eraser off balance, key word: Tried. He just snarled and pressed down harder. the more I struggled, the harder he pressed against my throat. I eventually sank into unconsciousness thinking 'Crap, they found us.'

I woke up in a cage. Well, they brought us to where we were going anyway. I glanced to my right and saw that Fang and Max were both in cages as well, so no hope of them rescuing me. Fang must have felt me staring at me, 'cus he looked up and met my gaze.
'Now what?' I mouthed, He shrugged and laid his head on the back of his cage. Just then a White coat came in with several Erasers behind him.
"Take the new one," He ordered to the Erasers, "We will test his strength against the wolf hybrids."
Shit, that meant that I was probably going to be in pretty bad condition when I got back from this, I just hoped it wouldn't kill me.
The Erasers grabbed my crate and practically threw me onto the cart they had brought in. They wheeled me off down through the endless white hallways. Man they really needed to add some color to this place. I ended up being tossed off the cart into the middle of what looked like a huge Colosseum-like place, a big field with a ring of chairs around it. They unlatched my cage and I jumped out, eager to remove myself from it. The Erasers and White coats walked back through an open door and it closed behind them. I looked around, besides the door the White coats had just gone through, there was one more door at the other end of the field.
"The fight will begin in one minute," A voice boomed over the loudspeaker, "It will be 15 Erasers against the experiment."
Well, that hardly seems fair. Just then the door at the far end opened and a bunch of Erasers swarmed onto the field. I crouched into a fighting stance and waited for them to come to me. Always let your enemy come to you, my fathers words echoed in my mind, that way they're tired when they get there. The first one got to me and lunged for my head, I ducked and brought my fist up into his stomach. the Eraser wheezed and fell to the floor. I turned to face the next Eraser, I punched him in the stomach and while he was doubled over I brought my palm up and slammed it against his nose. I heard a sickening crunch as the bones in his nose got pushed up into his brain, killing him.
I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my back, I flipped over and did a 180. I saw a menacing looking Eraser standing there glaring at me, we watched each other and the rest of the Erasers circled around us. I launched a high kick into the Erasers face, he dodged and grabbed my foot. He flipped me over and I did a quick somersault to get standing again. I threw several punches to his face and he threw several at me. We pulled back and started circling each other, he sneered at me and I just stared at him. Suddenly he lurched forward and slashed at my face, scratching three long and ugly gashes across my right eye.
My anger quickly rose and suddenly my curled fists burst into flame, but I didn't care at this point. I rushed forward and punched the Eraser's face so hard I heard his neck snap. My anger rising, I turned to the rest of the Eraser's and burnt them all to a crisp. I'm not sure how I did it, but once I had I pretty much collapsed from exhaustion. The last thing I saw before I fell unconscious was the burnt body an Eraser, How did I do that?

Max's POV
Both Fang and I were worried about Philip, this was his first time being in a lab before anyway. They had come and taken him in his crate, saying they were going to test his strength against Erasers. That basically meant that he would be put up against an extremely unfair amount of Erasers and he might not even come out alive. but just then, the door opened and Eraser's threw an unconscious Philip into his cage.
I gasped, he did not look good. He was beaten and bruised everywhere, and it looked like his wrist might be broken. But mainly he had three parallel gashes running over his right eye, underneath the blood his eye had turned a milky color. Where had I seen that before? Then it hit me. Iggy, Iggy's eyes looked like that. I guess Philip won't be using his right eye for a while then, he's blind in that eye now.
A/N: Oh My God! Philip has lost his sight in his right eye!! Did you like it?? Please R&R!!
