Chapter 1

Getting his powers stripped from him made him feel naked, forcefully violated and weak_ it was like a part of him had been amputated. He recalled being forced to watch the movie Maleficent and right now he couldn't resist comparing himself to how the character could've possibly felt. Don't get him wrong, he knew it was just a simple movie but it was the only thing he could relate to at the moment.

As he laid in his bed, he felt tears dwell up in his eyes as thoughts of suicide developed in his head. They don't frickin love me anyways, so of course they wouldn't even care! He thought. WHAT'S STOPPING ME?!He was so enraged. His powers are permanently gone, he can't go to prom, he's grounded, Allison's gonna hate him because he "stood her up" on the most special event in High School and Colosso the one person that truly loved him was gone. He had nothing. So what was there to live for? More tears slid down the sides of his cheeks as the suicidal ideas grown. But he deep down knew, killing himself wasn't the answer.

Not knowing what to do just made him cry harder and silently into his hands, aagh it was all Phoebe's fault! How did she even know about the orb in the first place? If she had just let the orb go, he would've handled it and leave it in his room as a weapon toward somebody else. He would never attack his sister ... well that was until now! Frickin Snitch! And he was determined to make her pay. He was gonna get outta here, one way or another.

He wiped his moist eyes and tear stained cheeks, and he climbed out of bed trying to look for a place to escape. He was livid about his lair being completely rearranged, was this supposed to change his mind about being a villain? Because it never will, it wasn't a phase! And tonight he was going to prove it. He's a villain now and will always be! Thanks to Phoebe and his parents.

As he continued looking around he felt frustrated, until an explosion abruptly occured behind him. Knocking him on the ground. What the heck? Max returned on his feet, but he was thrilled to see Colosso who ended up giving him the orb.

Colosso laughed maniacally as he observed his son figure work on the orb to restore his powers, so he can take revenge on Phoebe. However, a thought came to him that he had to share with Max he said, "What about your parents won't they try to stop you?"

Max didn't even think of that, so he replied "I'll take their powers too."

Colosso received chills from his dry response acting as if he didn't care. He probably didn't, they didn't seem to care about him. Then he also asked, "What if they send_"

"Billy, Nora, Chloe_ I'll do the same." He replied dryly, still working on the object.

This was the new Max and Colosso was proud.

After leaving his family completely shocked from taking their powers and trapping them in ice. Max stole the family's car, he passed his permit but he didn't have a license. But he didn't care.

As he drove to HiddenVille High, he was trying to ignore the guilty feeling of taking his parents and siblings' powers. He's evil! Stop feeling this way, Max. They didn't care about you when your powers were taken away. Max thought, tightening his already tenacious grip on the steering wheel. He numbed his feelings by thinking of what his so called "family" or "loved ones" reacted to his powers getting abducted.

Even though he now had his powers back, everytime he thought about his powers getting stolen it made his insides cringe. He had never felt so broken. He shook his head, not wanting the tears to return.

Max switched on the radio to avoid the repeated thought in his head. Ben Cocks So Cold was on, he touched the knob about to change it but he froze his hand when he began to relate the the lyrics. This singer was completely describing his life.

So Cold"

Oh, you can't hear me cry

See my dreams all die

From where you're standing

On your own.

It's so quiet here

And I feel so cold

This house no longer

Feels like home.

(The house doesn't feel like home anymore, and it won't be his home either. It never was home)

(Ooooooohhhhh mmmmhhhhhhh...)[x2]

Oh, when you told me you'd leave

I felt like I couldn't breathe

(He remembered Phoebe saying she was done with him)

My aching body fell to the floor

Then I called you at home

You said that you weren't alone

(He recalled Phoebe and his father hanging out, and it made him so jealous)

I should've known better

Now it hurts much more.

(Ooooooohhhhh mmmmhhhhhhh...)[x2]

You caused my heart to bleed and

You still owe me a reason

'Cause I can't figure out why...

Why I'm alone and freezing

(Max remembered Chloe teleporting him to Antarctica)

While you're in the bed that she's in

And I'm just left alone to cry

(Oh woah oh oh, oh whoa oh oh, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah...)[x4] (He began to think about everything they've been through)

Many other songs came on that he could relate to, but one of them he can understand the most was Evanescence Everybody's Fool.

The song completely described his feelings towards his twin sister...

Everybody's Fool"

Perfect by nature.

Icons of self-indulgence.

Just what we all need,

More lies about a world that...

...never was and never will be.

Have you no shame? Don't you see me?

You know you've got everybody fooled.

Look, here she comes now.

Bow down and stare in wonder.

Oh, how we love you.

No flaws when you're pretending.

But now I know she...

...never was and never will be.

You don't know how you've betrayed me.

And somehow you've got everybody fooled.

Without the mask, where will you hide?

Can't find yourself lost in your lie.

I know the truth now,

I know who you are,

And I don't love you anymore.

It never was and never will be.

You don't know how you've betrayed me.

And somehow you've got everybody fooled.

never was and never will be.

You're not real and you can't save me.

Somehow now you're everybody's fool...

Listening to the song, not just only pumped him up to take Phoebe's powers but it deepened his rage and the yearning to seek vengeance.

Max heart felt like it had been punctured and stomped on when he found out Allison had went to prom with another guy. It was literally taking everything for him to not cry and beg her to stay with him.

He had no one else to blame but Phoebe! She did this to him, and he "hoped" she was happy by this decision... because he was coming for her.

And he meant it.

After deciding good, the family ended up fighting the criminals and long story short they ended up saving HiddenVille. And everything was back to normal, except that wasn't true...

This will be continued...
