Max just recently had the revelation of his lifetime. He finally realized that he likely hates everything in existence. He hates David, he hates Camp Campbell, he hates Billy, he hates getting stabbed in the back, he hates obstacle courses, and he especially hates the Wood Scouts. But here he is, hanging upside down wrapped in ropes trying to not fall into the literal "God Forsaken Hell - Hole". Max was just hanging there, boiling in hate as he heard a loud screech from a megaphone before the yellow-eyed pizza faced "leader" of the wood scouts spoke through it. "Come one Max, finish the course or else Petrol here will get to use you as his punching bag for the day". Max responded by rolling his eyes and pulling himself out of the tangle of ropes he was in. He then grabbed the bottom end of the line of ropes and swung to the end as if he was on monkey bars. Max didn't really struggle with this type of stuff, it was just the fact he hated giving those bastards the satisfaction of getting what they want. But Max wasn't an idiot, he had a plan.

After the net rope section came… another rope swinging section. "Guess they must have some kind of fetish for those knot tying activities" Max said under his breath. Max saw that the rope stretched only few feet from a wooden plank, but the real problem was that the ropes are way too far apart to swing. Max took a second before coming up with a better plan. Max jumped with all his might, barely making it to the bottom knot of the rope. Max already knew he didn't have the weight to get the rope to swing far enough so he quickly pulled himself to the top of the rope. The moment he reached the top he pulled himself on the wooden plank and ran across it and bypassing the rope course altogether. "Why didn't we think of doing that?" Snake said to Petrol seeing Max overcoming the obstacle course surprisingly well.

Max finally made it to the final obstacle. Which was a super long rope, a single rope. It lead from the course to the dock at the edge of the camp. "Alright, seems simple enough. Cross the the rope and get the fuck out of this hell hole" Max said to himself and as he did so he began to hang on the rope monkey bar style. Max slowly made his way across but as he did so he noticed the ear to ear grin on pizza face. Max could only shake off his uneasy feeling and continued his rope climb. As he made, what he estimated as, one fourth of the way he heard pizza face use an air horn. Before he knew what happened he heard a springing sound. He turned to the left to only barely dodge a flaming arrow to the face, "Are you FUCKING kidding me!?" Max yelled "No wonder you don't have new campers! You fuckers kill them on their first day!". Before Max could say another word he saw two more arrows heading toward himself, on instinct he moved as fast as he could, once again only dodging the arrows by a few inches. Once he made it to one third of the way there, he noticed the arrows stopped firing.

Max took a moment to catch his breath, but before he could even get a moment he felt something massive hit him. Max was sent flying. Max tried his best to get a look at what hit him, but before he could even turn his head he was caught out of the air and slammed on the ground and getting knocked out.

Max suddenly was jolted awake in a cold sweat in his tent holding his switchblade, he turned to see Neil still asleep on the other side of the tent. Max took a few deep breaths to calm himself before whispering to himself "It's ok… it's ok… you're out now". Max has been having nightmares and flashbacks of the wood scouts for a few days now. Max was stuck there for a least a week, he didn't tell Nikki or Neil about his time there as he felt it didn't really matter. He was here now, alive and well… well alive at least. Max would stay awake on nights like this until sunrise, thank fuck that he has a coffee machine or else he would be asleep during the day. Max quickly put his switchblade into his pocket, Max knew the best he could do was lay down for the last few hours until morning, he only hoped that today won't be a pain in the ass with David or something.

Author's Note: Alright so, I'll be telling you what you can expect from this fanfic. For the most part, this is a story on how what would seem like one off gags or endings that just resolve themselves are shown and explained. Starting off with how Max escaped the Wood Scouts. This will be a recurring plot point will be slowly revealed as the story goes on. I will skip some episodes and I might start the story at the end of some episodes, as to not bore you with a useless retelling.

I will also be up front with you guys and say, for the most part there won't be ships, but in later chapters you may see one or two unorthodox or questionable ones. Also in the show Max is usually treated as a non-threat, but I think he is actually downplayed far too much. The kid clearly is far more of a menace and competent than the show writers give him credit. He won't be a gary stu but he will be able to actually stand his ground and fight. After all, him hanging out in the city and not picking up some kind of self defense skills would make no sense.
