Ajax scowled as he touched down near the storied sandstone cave where Max had spent the night when Angel had been kidnapped. He finally had everything he needed, and he was more than fed up. Still, he was tired, and being tired led to mistakes.
He stashed his bag, which held all of his food and a special can of aerosol. The contents of the can would destroy a chain link fence the next day, if needed. That done, he set his new katana nearby, and slept til morning.
The dawn came, an angry red that inflamed the sky as Ajax prepared for the day.
Three hours later saw Ajax descending towards a laboratory in Death Valley. It was the one he was created in, the one he had escaped from, and the one currently occupied by Itex. He dropped four feet to the roof, then walked to the edge, drawing his katana. He glided to the ground, his face blank as the Erasers approached.
Blood flowed like water in the yard encompassed by chain link fence as Ajax systematically killed every Eraser that came towards him. When the bloodletting was complete, Ajax tried the door. It was locked, which didn't surprise Ajax at all.
He shifted his sword to the other hand, and drew the aerosol can, spraying the window. It shattered from the application of cold, and Ajax manipulated the lock. Once inside, he transferred his sword back to his right arm, and began swinging.
Clean, antiseptic-treated white walls were quickly stained with the blood of Erasers as Ajax worked his way through the building.
On the third floor, huddled behind a barricaded door, Ajax found nearly every scientist in the building. With a wordless snarl, Ajax opened the door, destroying the barricade by sheer power alone.
"You've proven your point!" one of the scientists cried out. "We won't mess with you any more. We'll even set you up with a social security and everything you need to survive!"
"I have everything I need." Ajax stated coldly. "But I would like to know what time it is."
"What time?" one of the scientists squeaked out. "I d-don't know!"
"It's time to die, poor mates." Ajax said, his voice devoid of emotion. "You made me what I am."
With that, he stepped forward and killed the scientists in the room, before taking the cards and setting the self-destruct in the building.
He gave it a five-minute countdown, then left the building of blood, his sword forgotten behind him.
Three weeks later, Max found a note. It read thusly: 'The School has been destroyed. Happy Birthday, Max. Signed, Ajax.'
