A/N- Iggy: Man, you have Ella and I running around more than usual this time.
Me: You need the workout, you're getting a bit chubby.
Ella: Hey!
Me: Not you, Iggy. You look fine Ella.
Iggy: -whispers to me- Nice save.
Me: -whispering too- Thanks.
Hawaii, Here we Come Chapter 6
Ella POV
All the lights went out and were replaced with red spinning ones. A blaring alarm went off every second. After the initial shock, Iggy and the general got to their senses.
"Who do you think it is?" The general asked.
"You know that video the government has of Max fighting that boy in Germany?"
"Yeah. What about it?"
"Well I remember hearing his voice when you guys showed it to us when we were at the capital. Those voices are the same."
"So he survived that?"
"Obviously, and now he's here."
"What are we going to do?" I asked.
"I'm going to go after him. Do you know where he is general?"
"We have video feed of him in the armory. It's down the hall and the second door on the left."
"Okay, I'm going." Iggy turned to me. "Ella, stay here. If I'm not back in ten minutes, leave and call Max and Fang, they'll know what to do." I hesitated a bit.
"You better come back for me." He gave me a kiss.
"I promise." And then he left and ran down the hall.
Iggy POV
I got to the armory in two minutes and burst through the door. I heard someone rustling through some papers.
"You came at the wrong time." I said.
"No, I came at the perfect time, you're the one who is late." Omega said coolly, he then proceeded to run past me as fast as he could. From what Max told me, I couldn't keep up with him on foot so I whipped out my wings and flew down low. Even at flying speed I could barely keep up. I had a thought.
"Hey!" I yelled. "Someone in front of him, throw a flash grenade." I heard four pins being pulled after that and four explosions afterwards. I knew I wouldn't be as affected since I'm blind, and Max said that one of Omega's weaknesses was his eyes. I flew down to where he fell but had to dodge immediately at a right cross. He's one tough son of a gun, gotta give him that. I dodged a couple more times before I remembered Max's training. Rule number one, fight dirty. I kicked him in the produce section and heard him wince. I followed up with a left uppercut to his jaw, normally a knockout. He just got right back up and charged me. I rolled over his back and kicked him.
"You're almost as good as she was. Almost." He said not even out of breath. He then proceeded to land a flurry of blows to my arms. After a while I couldn't hold them up and that gave him an opening. He punched me square in the face and I fell to my back. He then stood over me. "You're finished." He said.
"You wish." I retorted and kicked him in the stomach. He reeled giving me a second to get back up. How did Max beat this guy? Then I remembered what Max said. He can't track fast movement. I ran up and started rapidly moving my fists around. Surprisingly, he didn't hit me back. So I just started whaling on him. He got a few lucky hits in here and there, but the fight was mine. I finished him off with a flying roundhouse kick to the face and I handed him off to one of the Navy guys. I was walking back to the general's office when I heard his labored breathing. I ran over to him.
"Are you okay? What happened?"
"Surprise attack." He got out wheezing. "Took your wife."
"Who did?" I said my useless eyes open wide.
"You did."
Ella POV
I woke up in a dark room with no light. The last thing I remember was Iggy going off to fight that guy and then a sickly sweet odor. A light overhead illuminates a small area above me.
"Good, you're awake." It sounded like Iggy, but I knew it wasn't.
"What do you want?" I asked channeling my inner Max.
"I have a proposition for you. I'm willing to give up my plans to blow up this island if you do something for me."
"I bet you would like that wouldn't you."
"You haven't even heard the offer yet. I'm willing to stop this if you run away with me. Together we can be happy on a remote island where no one can find us."
"Are you serious?"
"Quite."
"Well, let me think," I said sarcastically, "no. I would never go with you. You're not Iggy and you never will be."
"Well, I'm sorry to hear that. At least you'll get to have a little time together before you both die." And he injected me with something from a needle and my world went drowsy and faded to black.
A/N: Ari: -comes back from the dead to yell at me- Really? That's basically what I offered Max.
Me: Well, it makes sense, he is a clone of Iggy.
Ari: Cop out.
Me: Let's see you do better dog boy.
Ari: Well, you got me there. Am I going to go back to being dead now?
Me: Nah, I think I could find something for you to do around here. 70 days until Nevermore. Fly on, prosper, and may the odds be ever in your favor.
