Attack of the Black Snakes

By Maxwell Chan

Chapter 7

One afternoon, Max was taking a walk around his neighborhood. He walked one lap around and halfway around the second time, someone approached and was waiting for him. It wasn't a Black Snake member although it was a man in black uniform. "Hello, aren't you Max?" the man said. "W-why yes..?" Max said as he knew something strange was going on. The man unleashed a spin kick on Max and Max was on the ground unprepared for the attack. Max wasn't wearing his black uniform which meant that he didn't have his powers. He tried to fight back but the man kept attacking until Max was low on his energy and was on one knee. "Heheh, not bad for someone like you. I am Donnie, a friend of Wendy from California. I came to look for you because I've heard recent whereabouts from you and her." Max was in shock to know it. "You moved here to college right? Well while you're doing that, I'm going back to California because Wendy and I are going to have some sweet time together. And my gang is gonna be there to see it! Good luck trying to get back to her! WAHAHAHA." "Y-You're n-not getting away f-from this!" Max said weakly as he was slowly getting up. But Donnie didn't hear him and left.

Max was trying to recover from the beating he got from Donnie. He didn't know what to do. He knew that Donnie was planning something terrible to Wendy. He ran back inside his house, got his black uniform on, his knife and luggage. He was ready to fly back to California to stop Donnie. Max put two fingers on the side of his forehead to use his telepathic powers and was foreseeing what Donnie and his gang were planning to Wendy. Then, he got out of his house and to his car. As he got inside Kate was walking towards his house, "Max, where are you going? You don't look too good?" she said. "Wendy is in trouble!" Max said as he was starting up the engine. "What do you mean? Who's Wendy?" Kate said. "I'll explain later. I have to go back to California and help her! I'll be back in a week." And Max drove off to the airport to California. "Don't worry Wendy! I'm coming for you!" Max thought to himself.

Max arrived in California. He stepped out of the airport and began to use telepathy to foresee where Donnie and his gang went. He foresees Wendy and Donnie going into a Californian mall. Max knows where it is located but he doesn't have a car to get there. He called up a taxi car to get him to the mall.

When Max entered the mall, it was crowded with shoppers. He can tell which ones were shoppers and which ones were just Donnie's gang just loitering around the mall. Max paid no attention to anyone as he started running around the mall to look for Donnie and Wendy. He looked everywhere, stores, rest areas, and different floors. He searched for 20 minutes and there was no sign of Donnie and Wendy. Max wasn't ready to give up and was starting to think that they could be anywhere if he looked one more time around the mall.

Max went to start from entrance to top floor all over again. As he was making his way downstairs to the entrance, he saw from a distance from the second floor to the entrance, Wendy and Donnie. Then he started rushing down the stairs to first floor. He stopped at the very last stair step and watched Wendy and Donnie walk by. "WENDY!" Max yelled and suddenly a mine went off from where Max was standing and it blew up. Wendy and Donnie immediately noticed him. Max was sent flying over and landed 6 feet away from Donnie and Wendy and 2 feet away from the entrance door. He laid there, everyone stopped shopping, it grew quiet, and Wendy looked at Max feeling worried. She tried making the first step towards him but Donnie put his arm in front of her to prevent her from moving. Then people of Donnie's gang started to walk downstairs to see the commotion. A black aura started to appear and surround Max as he was slowly getting up. Once he got up, he opened his black eyes and he was ready to fight. "Get away from her!" he said and he charged straight after Donnie. He jumped kicked Donnie. Donnie fell to the ground. Then his gang members started charging after Max. But Max fought back and knocked out all of the members until they were all knocked out on the ground.

Wendy ran to Max's side and as Donnie was getting up, Max got his knife out. "Hmhmhm, I never thought you would actually come all the way here for this" Donnie said. "No matter where I am, I will protect her by my side!" Max said. "Let's have a fair fight without using that knife of yours shall we?" Donnie said and Max put his knife away. They both were ready to begin the battle. They started to charge and began to fight. They were blocking every punch, kick, but after a while, Donnie unleashed the same spin kick on Max from when he first met him. Max took the hit and suddenly, Max felt like he was getting stronger from the attack. He felt that the real battle was beginning so he kept fighting and went all out aggressive on Donnie. He eventually broke Donnie's guard and was comboing Donnie with punches, kicks and other attacks. He kept going until Donnie was on the ground and couldn't fight anymore. Max turned back to normal and the shopping guards started to come downstairs. They looked at Donnie and his gang and at Max and Wendy. "Go ahead, take them away" Max said. And Donnie and his gang were taken away from the mall and were arrested.

"Max, what were you doing here? I thought you were in Maryland for college?" Wendy said to Max as they were watching the guards take the gang away. "I knew you were in trouble so I had to come and help" he said. "How?" Wendy asked. He put two fingers on the side of his forehead, "Through telepathy". Wendy didn't believe it at first and Max explained it to her. "Do you have a place to stay while you're here?" She asked. "Let's stay at your place for the week that I have here" Max said. Together they both stayed over at Wendy's house for that whole week. After the week was over, it was time for Max to head on back to Maryland. They said their goodbyes and Max left for the airport to Maryland.

Max arrived back in Maryland and drove back home. As soon as he parked at his driveway, he heard noises and screaming. He got out of his car to look around. Then he saw a Black Snake member holding Kate by the throat, holding a knife in his hand. Kate was gasping for air. Then a flash attack slashed onto the Black Snake member and the Black Snake member is dead. Kate fell on her knees trying to breathe. Max put his hand out to help her out, "Are you okay?" he asked. Kate grabbed his hand to get up. They both walked to Max's house and Max started talking about his week at California and how Wendy was alright from harm's sake.
