Seabearing Skies

Chapter 4: Maximum Ride

'OMG! What the hell was that?' I plummeted to the ground and landed on my wing. I looked up in the direction of the attacker. Sure enough, a metal man-thingy came rocketing out of the darkness and shot at me again. The boy with the black hair came rushing over to me.

"You okay?" I nodded, wincing as I pulled my wing in. An arrow whizzed by my head. He held out his hand. "Truce?" I nodded again. "Then let's show these guys what we're made of." I grabbed his hand and he pulled me up. Another pulse of light shot by his head and he took out a pen. I didn't have time to wonder why because a bolt of lightning came shooting out of the sky and would have electorcuted us both if we wern't so fast. The boy looked up at the sky. "Really? Why now?" he shouted at the sky. I started to wonder if this guy was right in the head, but a dark figure suddenly landed on top of me and pinned me down. Red hair fell in my face as I kicked my feet up and launched her across the park. She landed on her feet and came bareling at me with knives that shot out of her sleeves. She did a back handspring and launched herself in the air as she flung the knives at me with scary precision. As soon as she touched the ground I roundhouse kicked her in the chin and she went flying back. She landed on her feet again and whizzed twards me. As soon as she was close enough, I sidestepped and grabbed her arm. I found the pressure point on her back and pressed it. She crumbled into a sorry-looking heap as another arrow careened by me, missing my head by a couple pf inches.

I looked up to see a slightly bigger shadow jumping out of a tree next to me. Three more arrows shot towards me, but I dodged them easily. I ran up to the guy and jumped, hooking my legs around his neck. I flipped him over and knocked him unconcious. I looked over at the boy. He was taking on a giant green guy with what looked like a mini hurricane. There was a man with a huge hammer lying unconcious next to a tree. I had the strange feeling that I was missing somthing, when it hit me. Literally. The metal man dropped out of the sky and caught me squarley in the jaw. I was launched backward and winced in pain as I whipped out my wings. I shot into the air and tried to regroup, but before I could the metal man launched himself at my feet and tried to grab me. I shot higher and gasped in pain. My wing was most definitely sprained. Suddenly a voice filled my head and made me double over in pain.

Maximum Ride. Perceus Jackson. So glad to finally meet your accquaintance. I am Loki, Ruler of Asgard. I have taken your friends and am holding them captive. If you ever want to see them again, you shall do my bidding. Disobey me, and they shall all die.

The last thing I remember was falling out of the sky and landing on the hard ground. I saw the boy collapse. One face clouded my vision as I passed out. That face was Iron Man's.
