And here's where Max reaches his last limit.

Chapter 2: The Last Straw

3 hours later

Max was recovering from that brutal session with Tigress and he was able to breathe again and all of his wounds were cleaned, but it left him mentally scarred all over again and it has always been that way between him and her; they're enemies and they're back to being friends and then it's back to being enemies again and he's always sick of going through that pattern and it was about all he could take and he can't take it anymore.

Just then, Po comes in the room to see if Max is okay and he sat down on the edge of the bed and asked, "You okay, Maxie?"

Max sits up and replied, "Yes and no."

That response started to confuse Po and asked, "What's the yes and no for?"

"Yes...because I'm okay and I can finally breathe again. And also no...because me and Tigress are stuck on the same pattern; she treated me harshly, then we make up and then we fight again and it gets worse. Each time...she promises me that she'll never take her anger out on me and then...she breaks it again. I don't know why she would never keep a promise like that!" Max exclaimed.

"My guess is...things between you two aren't good again?" asked Po.

"Po...I think I've had all I can take and I can't take it one more second." Max said, seething.

That literally surprised Po to hear what Max had just said because he never expected him to feel so much frustration coming from a 9 year old cub who's been through a lot and in his perspective, Max felt like it was starting all over again, but with Tigress around.

"Max...what are you saying?" asked Po.

Max took one look at Po for a minute and he looked at him deep in the eye and replied, "I want revenge."

"What?!" Po exclaimed.

Max nodded his head at that and that's the one thing he felt that he needed to show Tigress that he can't go through with this much pain again and if it continues, it's gonna get worse and Max can strike back. Po was shocked to hear this and he hoped that he was joking, but with a serious face like that, it just proved it.

"Max...you can't get Tigress back. You said yourself never to start something you can't finish." Po said.

"And you believed me?!" Max exclaimed.

"Yeah, I did." Po stated.

Max growls in response to that and he said, "When you get picked on by Tigress, didn't you feel this way?"

"No, I have not. I could never get her back after all the things she said or did to me. Even though it hurts, I would never let her suffer what I suffered. It's not how I am." Po replied.

"Aw, who asked you? I'm actually gonna get her back by sneaking into her dreams and place them into nightmares for her." Max stated.

"How are you gonna do that?" asked Po, confusedly.

Max chuckles mischievously and replied, "Simple...I'm gonna scare her straight. So much so that she'll wet herself."

"That sounds kinda mean." Po replied.

"Well, she was mean to me first. She's always promised me that she'll never lose her temper on me and she gets right back to doing it anyway. It's always been that way, Po. The one thing she's not good at is keeping her own promises. I've given her many chances and she always messes it up." Max added.

"I really wish you can reconsider." Po said, in a worried tone.

"No need to, Po. She'll get what's coming to her." Max said, in a sinister smirk.

Uh-oh...sounds like Max is serious! Stay tuned!
