Hello! Here's the new chapter! I wanna apologize for taking so long because I had homework to do for my school, though.
Anyway, I manage to finish this chapter and discover Max's new ability.
Enjoy!
Uphea Mall
Max made it in time on reaching his school, where his classmates were outside waiting for the bus for their school trip.
While waiting for the bus, Max decided to talk to Steel. "Hey, Steel?"
"Yes, Max?" His Ultralink partner replied from Max's backpack, "I was wondering about my new Turbo power this morning. I can't help it but thinking about it," Max said, "Hmm… It would be possible that your new Turbo power may have been able to move or lift objects just like what happen in your bedroom this morning." Steel explains before added, "I think this new Turbo power is call… Ergo-Telekinesis."
"Ergo-Telekinesis?" Max repeated, "What's that?"
"It's a kind of an ability of Telekinesis that only use mind – but yours is different. Ergo-Telekinesis can manipulate matter with using energy," the Ultralink explained, "Whoa, really? That's so cool!" Max exclaimed, which caught the attention of his classmates as they all stare at him with weird expression on their faces. Max noticed this and smiles sheepishly.
The school bus arrives as Max's classmates enter the bus one by one. Once inside the bus, Max seat in third row with his friends, Sydney, Kirby, and Butch, the former bully.
"Hey, Max. What was that all about that you just exclaimed?" Kirby asked his best friend, "Uh…" Max tried to make an excuse to avoid when his teacher, Mr. Thornhill, announce, "Alright, everyone. Today's school trip is going to a brand new mall called Uphea Mall."
His students let out an excitement shouts and shrieks as their school trip starts on Uphea Mall. "Uphea Mall? What's that?" Steel asked, curiously about this new mall which Max only shrugs in reply.
He decided to ask his friends, "Hey, guys. What is Uphea Mall?"
"You don't know? Dude! It's the newest mall in Copper Canyon!" Kirby said, "Yeah! It just opened 3 months ago," Butch added, "Huh… Guess I never heard of it because," Max paused for a moment, "I was pretty busy few months ago, heh…"
"Well, that's okay. All of us will go there." Sydney said with a smile, "And see some awesome stuffs in that mall! Woo!" Kirby whooped in excitement.
As the school bus head its way to Uphea Mall, Mr. Thornhill's students matter to themselves about the mall as they're excited to arrive there. "Wow, your classmates are excited about this Uphea Mall." Steel said, "Yeah. I wonder what it looks like," Max wondered a bit aloud.
For 10 minutes later, the bus finally reach its destination. All of Mr. Thornhill's students exit out and before them was a huge mall, which turn out to be the Uphea Mall.
"Whoa…" Max muttered in amazement when he sees the Uphea Mall for the first time, "Wow, it's huge." Steel stated, he had poked out his head slightly to see the mall and is amaze by it.
"Alright, everyone. Form a line before we enter," Mr. Thornhill said as his students gather into forming a line and one by one entering the Uphea Mall's main entrance, also can be a main exit as well. Once entered the mall, Max sees a lot of people wondering throughout the mall, here and there. He could also see other more people having lunch in different restaurants.
"Wow, this is crazy." He muttered in amazement as he look around his surroundings, "Tell me about it," his Ultralink partner's voice said in his head.
"Dude! This place is wicked awesome!" Kirby said, "Alright everyone. You may look around to explore but be back right here – the center of Uphea Mall. So, we can have our lunch at Slice n' Cross Pizza, understand?" Mr. Thornhill instructed his students.
"Yes, Mr. Thornhill!" His students replied at the same time as they started to depart to explore Uphea Mall.
Max and his friends went to north of Uphea Mall, looking around seeing a lot of stores and shops. "Wow! Look at all these!" The beanie guy exclaimed, holding up his phone to take pictures and video.
Just then, Sydney caught something interesting. "Hey, Max. Look over there." She pointed a store that has a title above its both main entrance and exit that reads 'Crystal Charm Shop' that sales jewelries.
"Oh, that store sales jewelries," Max said, "You wanna go there, Syd?" She nodded her head in reply.
As the teens went over the shop and enter, and there, they see all kinds of jewelries. "Wow. Look at all these," Sydney walks up to a golden chain with brilliant blue gem on that was wore on a mannequin, "This one looks pretty."
Just then, Max spotted another mannequin nearby. The mannequin wore what appeared to be a locket. Curious, the half-Tachyon walks up to it to have a closer look. When he did he could describe that the locket is metallic with a hexagon dark gray gem.
Seemly got attractive from it. Max takes the locket off from the mannequin. He then spotted a woman around the age of 34 at the counter. She had dirty blonde elbow-length hair, slightly dark skin, and dark green eyes and wears a dark green high knee dress and pair of black cowgirl boots.
Max went over her and said, "Um, excuse me?" The woman look up to see Max and smiles, "Yes? What can I help you?" The half-Tachyon shows her the locket, "I like to have this. How much of it?" He asked.
"It's sale as it has a lower price," she said, "I'm Belicia. I own this shop."
"Oh, hi. I'm Max, Maxwell McGrath." He introduced himself to Belicia.
Max then purchased locket and wears it on around his neck. He looks down to it as he grins, "That locket suits you, young man." Belicia said with a smile, "Thanks." Max thank her. Then, he heard Butch's voice calling out to him. "Yo, McGrath! We're heading to the Slice n' Cross Pizza now for lunch!"
"Oh, yeah! I'm coming!" Before he leaves, he looks at Belicia, "Thanks, again."
"Anytime." She replied as Max hurriedly left the shop to catch up his friends.
If you're wondering of this Uphea Mall – it is actually a fanmade mall that I've come up. I thought it would be cool to hang out aside of other locations of Copper Canyon that Max and his friends usually hang out.
