(And just like that I pull a plot device out of thin air.)

One of the winged men attached to the car jerked and fell off. The action was followed by the sound of a sniper rifle in the distance. Two more were shot off the car by snipers stationed on many rooftops of the surrounding buildings.

A few more were shot off before the rest took the hint and flew off. The unseen snipers took out two more men before they left.

"Who's shooting at them?" Sandy asked.

"We are." Everyone looked at the driver. "Your friend Eric knew that we might run into trouble on the way, so he had snipers stationed on ten different buildings."

"You could have said something!" Jax shouted.

"Eric said not to mention it unless I had to. Said he didn't want you guys to worry."

"I am so dead," I muttered, "it's not funny." I spread out my wings and launched myself from the factory. Two Hell Hawks quickly followed. "Damn them anyway," I muttered and lauched a salvo at them.

One of them fell, screaming. That's one advantage about having laser-sharp vision: you hit almost every time.

I reversed course, plunging back along my own flight path. The Hawks quickly gave chase, but it was futile.

"Over here!" someone shouted. "Land here!"

I did, and was greeted by a mob of anxious people. "What happened," one dog-man yelped.

"It's the Hell Hawks. You should all get under cover."

"Hey mister, your wing is bleeding." A centaur came up to me. "Hold still, this won't take a minute."

He held a brown hand over the wound and chanted something. I couldn't hear it, falcon though I was. But it worked. My wing was better than new.

"Thanks," I said. "I'll remember this." Looking up at the sky, I added, "Too late to run. Let's fight!"

Corun trudged through the deep snow towards the ruins of the city. It was freezing and he had turned into his full wolf form to keep warm. His paws were packed with snow and it was numbing to walk. He knew a group of outcasts in the city that would help him. He kept moving until he reached the first line of buildings.

"Hey," someone shouted, "arrest him! He took the bat boy!"

"I didn't! I don't know what you're talking about. You have the wrong bird."

"Well, it was a falcon," he snapped.

"Angel," I said, making it the curse it should be. "I'll get him, if it's the last thing I do!" With that I spread my wings and soared off.

"Are your sure this is right?" someone asked in my ear.

"Gads, are you a cardinal?"

"Sure I am! What's the matter, birdbrain?"

I smiled. "Don't ever call me that!"

She smiled back. "I won't if you tell me your name."

"Sure," I said.

Hey guys, what is my name? I forgot

I don't really know either. Adn whose that cardnal guy you just met? Be more specific... Please.

Angel dropped Nica on a fluffy couch. When has this happened before? Angel glared around the dark room. There was a large wooden desk facing a large window that streatched from the floor to the cieling.

The blinds were closed and a soft but intense red light was cuting through the small spaces. Other than that the room was completely dark. Angel heard a knock at the door and grunted.

The person on the other end took that as a 'Come in' and slowly opened the door. He had a snake face and couldn't have been more than one hundred.

"Jesh says assemble is at forty percent." the boy said with a slight lisp.
"Good. Tell him to be excpeting visitors." The snake boy nodded and let the room. Angel sat ta tthe desk and rubbed his head.

He knew Silvertooth and his friends could niether find him or would. They would have to meet him first. A sharp pain hit Angel in the left temple and he moaned.

Nica groaned and rubbed his eyes. Why did he always get himself into these situations?

He could see Angles shadowy form in the dark but he was too weak to do anything.

So he lay there glaring at his back until he finnaly fell asleep.

((read your intro post kite. dur. that has your name on it don't make us keep track of your name for you.))

"Huh" Rain exclaimed "that was really lucky"

"What do you mean" Sandy said "we could have taken them we just needed Corun..."

"just keep telling yourself that Sandy, they had us pinned. There was just too many." Jax laughed.

"Yeah I know I just can't believe we almost got captured there." Sandy said. Rain walked away from Jax and Sandy then talking to herself.

"I cant' believe that they of all people attached us." She turned back around. "Hey guys I hope you know that we were really really lucky back there."

"Why " they both asked at once.

" oh well I know where they came from." they looked really surprised at this ." I've run into them before though now i can assume that Angel is leading them now. I know where they are if they are still in the same place as before, but we need help if we are going to help Nika."

(I'm assuming you guys have arrived outside the place where Eric works.)

"Good, you're all here." They all turned to see Eric walking toward them. He was wearing a white tank-top and blue jeans. The clothes he had been wearing before had been ripped from all the fighting.

Jax ran up to Eric and shouted, "Angel took Nika again!"

"We can't do anything about that now." Eric told her.

"So, what, you're just going to leave him to die? What kind of person would let his friends die?"

Eric hit the top of Jax's head like he had in the park. She let out a small yelp of pain and started rubbing her head. "I haven't given up on him. We can't go after him like this. Angel is smart, he has more men working for him. Our intelligence has found out he's recruited a few of the city's bigger gangs and many of the smaller owns to his cause. If we go after him without the proper equipment and any backup, we'll be in just enough trouble as Nika."

"Then what do we do?" Sandy asked.

"Follow me. We'll get the weapons and backup we need inside." He led them into the building.

Corun came across the site where he had seen the tunnel. He looked at it and lit his flashlight. He could hear echoes. He ventured inside and eventually felt a blast of hot air. He was relieved because it warmed him. He came into a room with a fire glowing in a small, metal pot. He then saw a grate covering another staircase. He walked over to it and opened it.

Okay, can we be more specific? I forgot my storybook name. Could someone please mail me?

You are called Kaltan, Kyte. You are half Falcon.

"Kaltan," muttered the cardinal. "Come on, it's not safe here."

"What 'bat boy' were they talking about?"

"Oh, it's all over town. Some boy got kidnapped."

I shook my head. "Gads, that Angel won't stop at anything."

We neared the square, and he veered off toward a side street. I followed, and he led me to an old industrial plant.

"Why in the world are you a cardinal? You don't get any advantages from being a flying target."

"I'm nibler than anyone else, hawk boy."

"It's Kaltan."

"Whatever! Come meet the crew."

We went into the main room. The ceiling was lost under weak electric light. Sitting on various machines were a cat girl, two dogs, and what I thought was a lizard.

"Vast," the lizard said.

"I'll say."

"That's his name, hawk boy."

"Quiet, or I'll clip your smart tail."

"That's enough," said Cat Girl. I noticed that one side of her face was immobile from jaw to eye. Long scars left me in little doubt of the cause.

"So, my name's Kara. Nice to meet you."

"Kaltan," I answered.

She nodded. "Okay, these two are Marc and Jonh." Both dogs barked hello.

"Hey," I said. "So who's the leader, and what's your goal?"

"I'm the leader," said Kara. She cocked her ears. "Hisst, someone's coming!"

Vast nodded in the direction of the door. "Is friend, no worry." How's that for to the point?

I recognized the "intruder." "Skye, it's good to see you."

"Hey, Caltan. Gads, I'm done in." She flopped down on an old mat, then shrieked and lept up. "Dogs," she muttered. I swear she blushed under her feathers.

*Hey everyone, I'm quitting this story book. It's gotten boring with all the fights with Angel and everyone. It's just not fun for me anymore. I'm sorry but I'm gone.*

(:( Why???? *Is uber sad*)

((hey hey hey hey hey I think I have a new plot that we can do, but I don't have time do write it out in the actual story to have it make sense so here it is:

They ( Jax rain Sandy Eric... etc.) get all ready for the fight and go off to get help from the group That Kaltan just met. They all go off to fight Angel. Nobody wins but both sides retreats, then "something" from the surface gets into the city. Most people thought this impossible because they thought the surface could no longer hold life. This "something"(sorry have no idea on what it should be... but whatever if someone has an idea on that it would be great) starts terrorizing the city and there are more of it's kind coming.

I thought about what Midnightwolf said and thought "Yeah let add a nice little or o.k. not so little twist they may lead Angel's group and Eric's group to join forces(hint hint... just an idea). We don't have to do this it is just an idea.....tell me what you think and I guess if you like it start making it happen in the story))
