Max's Decision: My Version
Max's Decision
'How did I end up here?' Max wondered to himself. Here he was, holding the power stealing orb in his hand, aimed at his sister.
Max Thunderman was standing in his villain attire, with his family on one side, Dark Mayhem and the villain league on the other, and him aiming a weapon at his twin sister.
It all happened when he got the chance to prove himself to Dark Mayhem, but his nosy sister found out and took his powers. His family took all his stuff, his lair and Colosso. Thanks to the bunny he got his powers back, and then took away his family's powers before coming here to take his sister's own away.
Which lead to all this.
"Take her powers Max! You want out of her shadow don't you? Then do it!" Dark Mayhem shouted.
"Max… you'll lose everything. Don't you care about your friends, your family? Please don't do this." Phoebe tried to convince her brother.
Max's head was swirling with thoughts. Hero or Villain. That's his choice.
He felt some guilt hurting his family and betraying them, but choosing to side with them means he has to try and be… good. He shivered at that thought.
He does like being bad. Pranking people and hurting people he didn't like is a fun experience. Although choosing to side with Dark Mayhem means his family is history and that didn't sit well with him. He had so many good times with them, despite how annoying they always got.
He just couldn't decide.
Good. Bad. Good. Bad. Good. Bad. Good. Bad.
Why can't he just be…
That's when it hit him.
Those weren't his only choices. There was a third option this whole time. An option where he'd have to listen to no one, but…
"Zap them now!" Dark Mayhem ordered. "Take away their powers and-"
"Shut up." Max said. Everyone looked at him in shock.
"Did you just tell me to shut up!?" Dark Mayhem exclaimed in shock.
"Yeah sissy." Max said causing Dark Mayhem to double back at the gall. "Look… I don't want to be a villain." Max said.
"My boy!" Hank said with a grin.
"But I don't want to be a hero either!"
"Huh?" Phoebe questioned as now both sides were confused.
"I'm not hero material. I don't want to hurt my family anymore, but I don't want to start being…" Max shivered in discuss. "Good." Max said in disgust. "I like being the bad boy, but if I choose being a villain, just to be bossed around by a Darth Vader rip off." Dark Mayhem gasped at the insult. "Then are deal has expired." Max said with a serious look.
"Wait then… what… do you choose?" Phoebe asked, not knowing where her brother was going with this.
Max then zapped his family with the orb, giving back their powers as the orb then burst with electricity, forcing him to let it fall to the ground.
"Just to be clear… I'm using you guys. Because I can't take all four of them by myself." Max said.
"You will regret this Max." Dark Mayhem said.
"Yeah, whatever Sally. So are we going to do this or are you just going to waste more of my time?" Max said as he cracked his fists.
"He is so hot." Cherry said getting looks from her friends. "What? Rebels are cool." Cherry said with a shrug.
"Aw man, she doesn't have a crush on one of us anymore." Gideon whined. "Please let it not be me." Gideon prayed.
"Boys!" Max shouted getting his band in attention. "A little butt kicking music." Max said coolly.
"We Are Max and The Skull Crushes! And we are here to see some super villains get kicked!" Oyster shouted as the band then played a rocking music starting with an electric guitar riff.
"Thunder Family Go!" Max shouted.
"Kill them!" Dark Mayhem shouted as he then sent a blast of green energy to Max. Max rolled under the attack and used his telekinesis to send a table at Dark Mayhem, who destroyed it with her energy, but Max dashed and sent a flying kick to Dark Mayhem, sending him to the ground.
"Thunder Baby!" Max looked back at Chloe. "Away!" Chloe flew through the ceiling.
Max looked around to see his family's powers got mixed up. His dad, fighting the son of that Snake guy (I couldn't remember the Snake villains name. Sue me, I just saw the special) had his mom's electrical powers. His mom fighting Strong-or (I think that's his name) had Billy's super speed. And Nora, busy fight Fairy Pinchess (that one I remember) had Chloe's teleportation, so which meant Billy, who was hesitant to fight, must have Nora's laser eye beams.
"Oh jeez." Max said as Dark Mayhem started getting up and was ready to blast Max, but the young Thunderman used his telekinesis to send a vase to fly straight into Dark Mayhem's head, causing him to fall back down. Dark Mayhem's hand glowed green as a green stream travelled against the ground as then it went under man and exploded, mine style, sending his flying. Screaming in the air, Max then fell on top of Cherry.
Because of the blast and fall, the two accidentally locked lips. They stared into each other's wide shocked as for a moment before Max quickly got off.
"Max!" Allison shouted in shock.
"Sorry! I got blasted into the air!" Max shouted. He then helped Cherry up.
"You helped me up?" Cherry questioned in surprise.
"I'm not all bad." Max said.
"Cool." Cherry said grinning.
"You're still holding her!" Allison shouted.
"I'm just making sure she's fine!" Max shouted.
"Max, look out!" Phoebe shouted. Max saw an oncoming green blast of energy, so he pushed Cherry and himself to the ground. "Find cover, all of you." Max said to Cherry and her friends before he got off her and went back into action.
"You heard the man." Cherry said as she and her friends ran for cover.
Phoebe and Max were double teaming against Dark Mayhem as he sent blasts at the two.
"Max, I'll distract him. Go get the orb!" Phoebe said. Max just ran off to find the orb. Dodging Dark Mayhem's blasts headed his way, he found it under a table.
"Strong-or! Get Max!" Dark Mayhem ordered. Strong-or roared as he slammed his prehistoric mallet to the ground, causing the ground to shake a bit, which made Barb lose her footing as she tripped over the weapon. Strong-or roared as he charged at Max.
"Max, look out!" Allison shouted.
Once Max retrieved the orb he turned as saw Strong-or swing at him. Max quickly jumped back. Strong-or swung at Max, causing him to dodge and back away from the swing. The giant of a man then slammed his mallet down, forcing Max to jump back, but his hand holding the orb went into the punch bowl, causing Max to get electrocuted. Everyone turned to see Max shake violently as he was being electrocuted and glowing multiple colors. After a while, the shocking stopped as Max then fell to the ground, unconscious.
"Max!" Phoebe shouted her brother's name, but Dark Mayhem took advantage of the situation and blasted her, sending her flying.
The rest of the family finally took down the son of Snake and Pinchess, and went to stop Mayhem, but he quickly blasted them all away.
"I win!" Dark Mayhem cheered as he laughed maniacally, but then a pillar fell on top of him. Chloe had used her father's super strength that she gained to push the pillar on top of Dark Mayhem.
"That's what you get for messing with my family." Chloe said, but then she was grabbed and lifted by Strong-or who held her in a tight grip. "Hey! Hands off the merchandise!" Chloe shouted. Strong-or used his massive strength to kick the pillar off of Dark Mayhem. Dark Mayhem got up and dusted off his clothes.
"Finally… The Thundermans have fallen! Hiddenville is mine!" Dark Mayhem shouted as he continued his evil laugh. Suddenly his hands started glowing green.
Max then opened his eyes to see his family had been defeated. He watched them lay on the floor, unconscious and hurt. Max started feeling a flurry of emotions. He stared at the laughing Dark Mayhem.
"Say Goodbye to the Thundermans!" Dark Mayhem shouted with victory laced in his tone.
Max was angry. Really angry. He growled as he got up off the floor and glared at Mayhem.
"Boss. Boy with good hair is awake." Strong-or said. Dark Mayhem turned to Max to see him glaring at him.
"Max, excellent timing. You can see me kill your family." Dark Mayhem said. Max growled as his eyes glowed blue as he panted then he sent a punch forward as a tornado came from his fist and hit Dark Mayhem, sending him Mayhem flying away.
Strong-or turned to Max and growled, but Max used his telekinesis to pull his strong hands away from his baby sister and then lifted him up high, then levitated his hammer over Strong-or's head and bonked the giant on the head before sending him flying into a wall.
Dark Mayhem groaned as he got up from the ground and stared at Max whose eyes were glowing blue as then blue energy surrounded his fists.
Phoebe woke up in time to see Max's eyes and fists glowing blue.
"Max?"
Mayhem growled as he then sent a blasts of green energy at Max, but Max simply punched and backhanded, destroying them. Shocking Mayhem and Phoebe. Mayhem then sent green electricity from his hands to Max, but Max's fists sent blue electricity back at the green, negated it.
Mayhem was actually a bit worried, but instead of panicking he growled as he brought his hands over his head as he summoned a large ball of destructive green energy over his head as he then threw it at Max.
"Max!" Phoebe shouted as the rest of her family woke up.
Max then roared as his body burst with blue energy that destroyed the giant green ball upon contact. The blue energy then receded, but Max's fists were still surrounded in blue energy.
"What just happened?" Hank questioned as he and his family were in shock.
Now Dark Mayhem was scared. He had put all his energy into that ball, and yet Max destroyed it effortlessly. Max raised his hand as he then, with a sole finger, used his telekinesis to bring Dark Mayhem in front of him, then delivered a powerful uppercut that sent Dark Mayhem hitting against the ceiling and then falling back to the ground.
Dark Mayhem groaned with pain as he finally laid defeated. Max placed his boot over Dark Mayhem's chest as he stared down at the villain.
"You don't want to be a villain… you don't want to be a hero… what decision will you make that isn't good or bad?" Dark Mayhem voiced his defeated words.
Max just smirked as he stared down at Dark Mayhem.
"Why can't I be both?" Max said feeling... satisfied. Max then used his ice breath to freeze Dark Mayhem, solidifying his victory. "You did want a little mayhem." Max said as his fists and eyes stopped glowing.
"That's my best friend!" Oyster shouted pointed towards Max as everyone then cheered. The Thunderman family finally got back to their feet as they cheered as Max backed away from Dark Mayhem.
He did it. He beat Dark Mayhem. And he found his answer to what he wanted to be.
"That was amazing!" Hank cheered. "I cannot wait to get all the credit when we tell the hero league."
"No dad, that's not right." Phoebe said.
"Huh?"
"Dad… the reason Max started trying to be a super villain was because he always felt like he was in my shadow. That no matter what he'd do, he'd never be as good a hero as we all wanted him to be to begin with. Now look at what he did. He beat Dark Mayhem all by himself."
"And that huge guy." Chloe said pointed towards Strong-or who was halfway indented into the wall.
"Oh~." Hank said as he did not envy Strong-or, and was shocked along with the rest of the family that Max had done that.
"Max did this and he deserves the credit. He even gained new powers! He was amazing tonight and he deserves the recognition." Phoebe said with a smile. Hank looked to the floor before smiling.
"You're right. Max… I've never thought I'd be able to say this even once in my life, but… I'm proud of… wait, where'd he go?" Hank questioned.
Everyone looked around to find that Max was gone.
"… Max?" Phoebe called out her brother's name.
Max's lair
Max, still dressed in his villain attire, packed his things and weapons in a bag.
"So you unlocked new powers? What kind?" Colosso asked, now eager.
"I don't know, it was like a blur." Max said. "I remember blue energy… and my telekinesis feels strong. Oh and I punched a tornado out of my fist."
"Awesome~!" Colosso sang.
"I think I even have more… new powers that I haven't discovered yet." Max said as he finished packing.
"Oh~, what kind?" Colosso asked.
"We'll have to figure that out together." Max said as he took out a small blue box, pressing a button on the side as his luggage was sucking into it, as if entering a new reality.
"When did you build that?" Colosso asked, never seeing that invention before.
Max then put on his black backpack with it opened a bit.
"Hop in." Max said as he turned his back to Colosso.
"What? Wait… are we really doing this?" Colosso asked.
"You coming or what?" Max asked. Colosso stayed silent for a moment before smiling.
"It's you and me against the world Maxie!" Colosso cheered as he jumped into the backpack.
Max then walked upstairs and made his way to the front door, but before opening it, he stopped. Max blinked his eyes before he turned around and looked back at his home, one last time. Taking it all in and remembering the many memories. The misadventures. The times he spent with his family.
Max smiled sadly as he actually shed a tear.
Max turned back to the door, turned the knob, opened the door and left.
Closing the door, Max walked down towards the streets as he then saw a motorcyclist coming by. He used his telekinesis to send the rider flying off and used his other hand to stop the motorcycle.
"Thank you." Max said as he got on the motorcycle and sped off. Colosso poked his head out of the backpack and looked to Max.
"So where to now?" Colosso asked.
"Where ever the road takes us." Max said.
"So Max… what's the game plan?" Colosso asked. His response was silence. "We do have a game plan, right?" Colosso asked, now sounding nervous.
Max started to smirked widely as a thought came to mind.
"We're gonna make our own league."
Colosso then gasped, but then he started laughing maniacally, loving the idea.
Hours later
After travelling for some time, Max stopped the bike as he and Colosso stared at a large sign that displayed the name of the city ahead of them.
"Coffin City." Max read the sign aloud.
"Homey." Colosso said. Max then revved the handles of the motorcycle as they rode deeper into the city. "Sheesh, what a dump. These people look like they could actually use some heroes."
"It's perfect. A new clean slate where we'll build our league and straighten this place out." Max said with a smirk.
"Alright, but where are we going to stay?" Colosso asked. Max increased the speed as the rid down the streets of the city. Max then stopped as he saw a large black warehouse. He looked on in interest as he saw some shady looking guys go inside.
Max parked in front of the warehouse, walked towards the door and kicked it open. Inside were a bunch of guys, gang members no doubt, with a large muscular guy sitting on a black throne.
"Who the heck is this dork?" The muscular guy questioned.
"Dark, spacious and a throne that's just asking for me to sit on it. I'll take it." Max said with a smirk.
"Says who?" The muscular guy questioned threateningly as he and his boys got weapons out.
Max just smirked as he lifted his hand up as blue energy glowed from his hands.
Soon enough the place lit up with blue light as all the gang members ran out screaming.
Once they were all gone, Max closed the doors as he turned back towards the large place. He walked towards the throne, placing his backpack on the ground, picking up Colosso as he then sat down on the throne, with Colosso on his lap, his right hand petting him while the knuckles of his left hand pressed against his cheek while his elbow rested on the throne's arm rest.
Max enjoyed the dark atmosphere, smirking while Colosso chuckled evilly.
Now here we are.
Now starts a new chapter. A new turning point in history.
Now with the choice Max has chosen for himself, a whole new path laid out in front of him. A new goal. A whole future he will make his own.
Down this path, Max will rise as a legend. He will grow into someone who could either become the world's greatest ally or worst enemy.
This is the path he has chosen for himself.
The path that walks along the edge of Good and Evil.
The path of the Anti-Hero.
End… of the prologue
And that is my version of the ending of Thundermans: Secret Revealed.
Short, I know, but it is based on the last few minutes of the special. As you all read, this is a prologue of another Thunderman's story I'm thinking of making. I intended this to be a one-shot, but it grew into something more as new ideas and characters came into my head for this.
Anyway, when it came to the ending, I expected this to be the ending. Not Max running away, but becoming an Anti-Hero. It's so much more believable! Plus I think it sucks that he's not going to wear what he dubbed his 'villain clothes' anymore. Most likely.
And yes if you know about my other story 'The Girl Who Tamed a Villain' and you watched the special, I did feel an arrow shot into my heart when OysterxCherry now becomes cannon. At least that's what they showed. I'm still full on Chex and my other story will run on its own universe with different events that deviate from the original story.
Like this one is doing.
So this story will focus on Max making a name for himself. Not much on romance like my other story. I hope you all will stick with it and you all will enjoy it.
Thank you for reading and I'll see you next time.
Takeshi1225, out!
