It was Fang's turn to train and the next day the clan leaders started arriving. Twenty something out of the two hundred fifty leaders and representatives arrived today. I followed Tiran and we asked each one of them how they were doing and news of anything.
"Hey Max!" The blond vampire called.
"Hey! I never did catch your name." I said back smiling.
"Oh, my name is Daniel, but you can call me Dan." He said.
"So how have you guys been, Dan?" I asked.
"Pretty good a couple have already enrolled back to school. Trying to control our strength was a bit hard at first and we accidentally kept breaking furniture but we're getting way better at it now. We hunt every morning before school in the forest nearby. It's deer season, not human season." He reported and chuckled.
"That's great, I'm glad to hear you're doing so well. How did the parents take it?" I asked.
He frowned, "Generally all the parents were so happy to see their kids and the strength was just an added bonus, but one parent didn't want to even see their kid now that he was a freak." He said and I shook my head.
At the end of day five, all of the leaders and representatives had arrived. I'm not sure how Tiran managed to feed all of them though. So we began discussing our course of action and battle strategies.
"How will we stop him? Even with our vast numbers, his army greatly outnumbers ours." A centaur said.
"We can, but it'll take some planning. We need to lure them somewhere with all of the four elements." An aeris said.
"Remember that island?" I asked.
"Yeah, that would be perfect!" the aeris said.
"No, not enough area for us to stay clear of the bombs." Iggy said.
It kept going on and on like that, we planned for days until we finally came up with the solution. Each leader returned to camp to begin training and preparations, ready at a moment's notice.
"Angel, Gazzy, I want to talk to you." I called out to them. They walked over. "When the time comes, I don't want you two to fight." I told them.
"Why not! I am one of the best fighters!" Angel cried.
"Yeah and who's gonna help Iggy with the bombs?" Gazzy argued.
"I don't want you to fight because I have a special job for you two." I said and I explained it to them. Their faces turned serious and solemn and they nodded. Oh this was going to be one hell of a fight.

The days ticked off one by one, Gazzy and I spent all day in the work shop building bombs, bombs and more bombs. Soon, each and every one of the groups started arriving and about week prior to the battle, Gazzy and Angel disappeared. I tried to ask Max about it, but every time I did, she would wave me off. So instead, I helped out with training Ella and Jeremy to fight. Jeremy was a natural, I was bit suspicious of that kid, might have to do with the fact that he spent time alone with Ella in a breeding room. Ella was a bit squeamish and didn't want to hurt anyone or anything, but eventually toughened up.
I wasn't sure if any of them had powers yet and neither did they. Each of them got stronger and more ready to fight. I noticed that Ella was built for speed like us and Jeremy was built for strength like Dylan.
The days flew by quickly and it was finally the day. Each group assembled at their stations and got ready to fight. Over the weeks, a lot of the humans could sense what was going to happen and Maya and Max convinced all the television networks and any media source to help us. We had gotten the word out and every single human, who knew what was good for them, was hidden at one of our camps protected by experiments. I don't know how Max found enough space to hide six billion people, but then again, I never underestimate Max.
"We have been tested and poked and prodded and beaten and whipped! It's time to fight back!" Max yelled and all the groups around the world could hear. We cheered; Max was a pretty good motivator.
"It's time to fight back! For us! For the world!" She shouted again. We cheered even louder.
"Alright, it's time!" She said "Blaze one, come in!" She said to the screen and Blaze one checked in. One by one, each of the groups checked in and got ready to fight. After about 2 minutes of silence we saw Dr. Gunther-Hagan's army approaching. Each one of them dressed in red, a lot of them looking the same, each one reminding me of Omega. I saw Gunther-Hagan in a large transformers type machine and we all started attacking, mutants fighting side by side.
The battle started with all the bird kids holding some of the bombs Gazzy and I made and flying quickly towards the army and dropping bombs on them. As soon as that happened the lake immediately created a high wall that no one but us could penetrate. I couldn't see anything, but I could feel it in my mind by creating a blueprint/hologram of the entire battlefield. In my mind I could see where everyone was. I heard a bullet whizz by my head and hit a bird kid, I caught him and took him to medical pronto. We were losing this fight. There were too many of them and not enough of us. Not to mention, they had a whole army of Omegas. I looked at my screen, we weren't the only one's losing.
"Ammo Five! We're out of bombs!" I shouted into my comm and immediately one of the invisibles ran over with more bombs. I saw fighting all around us. No! I saw Max battling it out with Dr. Gunther-Hagan in the center of the battle-field. Max wasn't doing so great. I quickly flew over and struck down hard on the top glass part. The shards of glass hit Dr. Gunther-Hagan's face, but he still didn't stop. He picked up a knife and stabbed it into my stomach. The world went dark after that.
Ah, I can't believe this story is drawing to a close. Just one more chapter, then the epilogue. Review please!
