Max
I looked around. I saw Iggy in the air launching bombs, I saw Nudge and Jeremy fighting back to back and I saw Ella launch one arrow after another. Then I saw Fang get knocked to the side while fighting Dr. God and I charged straight at Dr. Gunther-Hagan, I could see the battle in the air as much as on the ground. I flew up and kicked him with as much force as I could and he just raised one robotic arm and blocked me. I saw Fang get up and started fighting the enemy surrounding him.
"Why are you doing this!" I yelled between attacks.
"Because I am the future of the world, I will control it all!" He yelled half mad with power.
"No! Don't you see? You're destroying the world!" I yelled back.
"Aha, you think you can stop me? Pathetic." He said. It kept going, I couldn't get a decent hit and I was losing energy, fast. Suddenly I saw something whizz in and strike Gunther-Hagan right on the top. I barely had a moment to register it was Iggy until the doctor stabbed him in the stomach with a knife.
"Iggy! NO!" I roared and charged at Dr. Gunther-Hagan with all my might, I saw Iggy get carried off to medical but I was completely focused on Dr. Gunther-Hagan. I hit him with all I got and went into a state of anger and fury that no one could pull me out of. I ripped his suit into shreds with my bare hands and I picked him up by the hair with my telekinesis.
Max! Look! I heard Angel call out to me in my mind just I was about to drop Gunther-Hagan on his ass. I stopped to see that even more mutants had been freed and the United States army had joined us too. I looked at my wrist monitor and saw that freed mutants all over the world were helping out too and Dr. Gunther-Hagan's army was losing severely. Angel and Gazzy were successful in their mission and I saw as they joined the fight as well, Angel wasn't even fighting, anyone who came within a 10 meter radius of her fell to the ground writhing.
Mind if I do the honors? Angel asked as she made her way over to me. I nodded. She came over looked Gunther-Hagan in the eye and he started screaming until his eyes clouded over and he finally stopped breathing.
"You are one scary seven year old, you know that?" I said to her and Angel smiled angelically at me. The tables turned and we started winning. The fight ended soon after. Something was nagging me in my mind. Iggy! I realized with a gasp and Angel, reading my mind, joined me on our way to the meds.
"Iggy!" I gasped seeing his shirt soaked with blood. He was pale and barely conscious. Ella came running in the room. She looked and started sobbing on him, blood mixing with tears.
"Ella?" Iggy whispered hoarsely wincing with pain. "I love you." He said and took his last breath.
"No Iggy! Don't die, you can't die on me now! I didn't get to say I love you back!" Ella cried and she leaned in and gave him one last kiss. It was sweet and gentle and passionate at the same time. I cried as Fang came into the tent battered and bruised. He took one look at the dead Iggy and the inconsolable Ella and Angel and mine's tear-streaked faces and he pulled me into a hug. Angel went outside to find Gazzy. I sat there with Ella and Fang when all of a sudden Iggy's heart started beating again. I looked as shocked as Ella but I could see the place where she had kissed him at brought life back into him. We exchanged a look and Ella pressed her hands to Iggy's arm. Life flowed back into it! Ella looked excited and she started to concentrate on trying to revive Iggy. She took off his shirt and pressed her hands directly to the wound. We watched in amazement as it healed to leave a small white scar. After a few moments Iggy coughed and sputtered back to life.
"Ella?" Iggy asked, still on the mend. She pulled him into a tight hug.
"Iggy! I thought I lost you forever!" She cried, tears of joy and relief now. They kissed and I hid my smile in Fang's shirt. He smiled into my hair. They broke away as Angel rushed back into the tent.
"Hey kiddo!" He smiled looking at her.
"Iggy!" She cried and jumped on him and he pulled her into a hug. Wait a minute backtrack. Iggy looked at Angel? He saw her? OMG!
"Iggy, how many fingers am I holding up?" I asked.
"Uh, four? Why, you having trouble counting?" He said in a mocking tone. I gasped and it dawned on him too.
"OMG I CAN SEE!" He yelled in excitement and we laughed as he studied each of our faces. It was a miracle!
Not a miracle, Maximum. Iggy sacrificed his life, but gained sight in return. The voice said.
Oh, voice, I'm so happy I don't even care you're talking in riddles. I told it in return.
After about another 5 minutes, I walked out to spread the word. Maya and Dylan were holding hands and I smiled softly, those two were truly perfect for each other. I saw Nudge and Jeremy sitting together, when I broke the news, both their faces broke out in big smiles. I pulled Nudge aside.
"I know about you and Jeremy," I said to her and she looked at me guiltily. "and I think it's great!" I finished and her smile grew wider, if it were even possible. I chuckled as she told Jeremy and his face broke out into a smile as well.
After a while, I saw the Flock and Fang emerge from the tent and Star, Fang, Angel and Ella started healing people. Ella healed the ones who had physical wounds while Fang, Angel and Star cured the enemy army from the One Light insanity. At the end of the day, almost everyone at our battle was healed. It turns out that around the world, the same thing happened, we had won! It was over I had saved the world!
It's not over until you clean up the aftermath. The voice said.
Rain on my parade much? I replied back sarcastically, but no matter what, it was over! I sighed, a breath of relief.
*Sigh. This Fan fiction is drawing to a close very soon! Come back tomorrow for the Epilogue :) Review please.
