A strong thunderstom swept the kingdom , a dark figure sitting high apon a throne . The rage in his voice " find her and bring her to me .. kill anyone who gets in your way " , the 4 young men nodded " i have an idea sir if your open to it " . The foreboding figure " speak then " , the warrior stepped up to him " why dont we kidnap her and the boy .. then when shes freed she will think you saved her from those men " . The shadowy figure nodded " deception very good number 2 .. you will make a great warrior some day " . The warriors armor changed from blue to red with a wave of his hand " you will lead the team for this quest .. congratulations " , the youngest warrior on the team was now the team leader for a mission . Plus the armor change meaning he earned some respect , on their way out the young man told his team " dont be afraid to step up to him if you have a good idea " . The team all gave him an agreeing nod " so where is the target " , the team leader smirked " 100 years in the past .. he opened a time gate for us " .

- after stepping through the gate and arriving in a small town known as palm brinks -

" There she is men " the team leader said happily , the oldest man on the team whose code name was red eagle sighed " you can see why the master wants her " . Blue jay smirked " indeed " , cardinal sighed " a vison of lovlieness " , the team leader black hawk scoffed " keep your head in the game lets move " .

Im walking with Max down the streets of palm brinks , trying to get him to open up about how he feels . When out of the blue 4 guys attacked , we tried to fight back then it all went dark .. is this really the end

-- max's pov --

I had the words on the top of my lips , today was the day i told her how i felt . Suddenly we get bum rushed by 4 random guys , 3 in blue armor one in red . Then it all went dark , aw man im going to die .

When Monica awoke she was in the throne room at the old raymbrant castle , she shook it off and slowly got to her feet " man what hit me " . A familiar voice caught her ear " i dunno who they were but they were taken care of " , Monica called out with glee as she saw a man with long brown hair standing infront of her " Lord William " . She gave him a huge hug and let him swing her around " little Monica " , after letting her back to her feet she pouted " why do you always call me that .. im 15 now im not little " . He sat down smiling " because you will always be the same runt that had the chutzpa to ask me to train you " , she smiled now as well " thanks for saving me .. but arent we 100 years from the time they took me " . He slowly nodded " i found you and a young man frozen in stone earlier .. they were holding out for a ransom so they used magic to petrify you " . She snarled out " damnit im stronger than that .. is there any way to get Max back to his own time " , He shook his head " unless i use a crapload of my power and open a time gate .. even then i cant be sure he makes it to the right time " .

She muttered " son of a ... " interupting her " you got quite a foul mouth on you as of late . She sighed " sorry max's boss swears like a sailor " , that caused him to roll his eyes " and you picked it up cause your a fast learner " . She smiled " that's what you said when i picked up a magic book .. the same day i was able to cast beginers spells " . His eyes grew happy to see her well " a great evil has befallen the Raymbrant kingdom " , she looked into his pale brown eyes " understood .. wheres max the 3 of us can take down this evil " . He nodded " so your lover is strong then " , monica blushed " hes not my lover ... yet " . He smiled " im happy you found someone " Monica knew that he was more like family to her through everything they had done , she secretly wanted him to be more than that in those days .

She wasn't sure how she felt about him now , sure he was still the same strong and caring man . Which is the reason she had fallen so hard for Max , there was a grave difference however . Lord William feared nothing and was willing to express his feelings if he cared for someone , Max was shy and a little stubborn at times . She tilted her head up " im not sure i love him i have feelings for someone else .. but he never answered a simple question " . His eyes halfway shut " he never had time to answer .. you left before he could say a word " , she sighed " noted lets go get max " .

- flashback -

The shadow was being flocked by his usual group of floozies , though he never bothered using cheap harlots himself . It was a brilliant idea to have them enter max's room , and make sure that when his two pawns arrived . Max would be enjoying the company of a large group of unfamiliar women , he was setting it up to bring the student and teacher together . So in the end monica truly lost all , his plan was brilliant with no seen flaw . Break apart a winning team , add kindle to a flickering flame , once the fire begins burning hot , douse the fire by taking away that kindle and covering it with dirt " .

( that last part is my greatest analogy ever ... to translate for the non analogical person )

( break up Max and Monica , get Will and Monica together , right before they get physical kill Will , then Monica will be his )
