Previously on The Thundermans - "What do I do first for my training your evilness?" He asked as Dark Mayhem looked pleased. "First off, we can't have your annoying sister interfering in our plans would you agree?" Max blinked in confusion as Sarah snapped her fingers and two muscle-bound guards approached them and grabbed Max hard around his shoulders. "What do you mean?" He asked. "What's happening?"
"Don't worry Max." Sarah said sweetly. "We just can't have your sister knowing what we're up to. It might ruin our plans for the war. It's better if the enemy is kept in the dark right?" "I-I guess so, but what does this have to do with me?" Max replied as a feeling of fear peirced his heart. "Don't worry, you'll see what we mean." Dark Mayhem replied as he and Sarah led the two men holding Max down a long dark hallway. The florescent lights above flickered casting eerie shadows along the walls until they finally came into a large room.
Dark Mayhem flipped on the nearby light switch as Max let out a gasp. There sitting in the middle of the room was what appeared to be a bed lining with straps and a dark lazer pointing at it. "What is that thing?" He asked as Sarah gave the two guards a nod. The guards understood and went over toward the bed and strapped Max in causing him to try and fight back, but as soon as the straps were placed around his limbs, he realised he couldn't use his powers.
"What's happening?" Max asked. "What's going on?" "Don't worry Max. Everything's going to be okay." Sarah said sweetly. "We're just going to make sure that nothing goes wrong with our plans for the war. Which means that connection you have with your sister has got to go." Max squirmed against the weight of the straps but to no avail. "Don't worry Max, it's not a complete and total loss." Said Dark Mayhem ashe pressed a button down on the lazer. Max struggled against the weight of the straps again as a round of pain shot through his body. The lazer hummed and roared to life with a blast of electrical impulse causing Max to cry out as his entire body felt like it was on fire and was melting.
He closed his eyes trying to will the pain to stop as flashes of Phoebe shot through his mind. He could all the fights they've ever had throughout their entire lives, from toddlers to just a few weeks before, and now the only feeling that was coursing through his body beside the mind numbing pain, was guilt and regret. It's all my fault. He thought as the pain came in waves throughout his body. Phoebe's going to die becasue of me, and there's nothing I can do about it. "Hey! Get the heck away from our brother psychos!" Suddenly Max's eyes snapped open despite the pain shooting through his body as he noticed Billy, Nora, Chloe and much to his relief, Dr. Colosso.
"Billy used his super speed to ditract Dark Mayhem, while Nora used her lazer sight to make Sarah's feet hot. "Ow! ow! ow!" She cried out hopping around the ground like bunny rabbit as Chloe laughed. Meanwhile, Dr. Colosso raced over and switched off the lazer which shook and hummed as it died down. Max's vision went blurry for a second as he looked up at Dr. Colosso's face and realised he wasn't in his rabbit form. "I'm not dremaing this am I?" He asked as Dr. Colosso helped him to his feet. "Billy and Nora used your animalizer to turn me human so that I can help find you and Phoebe."
Hearing Phoebe's name sent waves of panic throughout Max's body. "Colosso we have to find her, she's in trouble. Big trouble." Suddenly a wave of darkness swept over him and he felt himself falling to the ground unawhere that Colosso caught him in the last second. "I got him." He called to the other kids as they went over to him. "Is he okay?" Nora asked holding onto Chloe's hand. "Not sure yet." Dr. Colosso answered. "Right now we need to get him out of here and find Phoebe." Nora nodded and looked over at Billy. "I know you don't like this, but-" "It's okay." Billy said cutting his sister off. "Really, I'm okay about it now. We found Max, now let's get Phoebe." Then he turned toward Chloe. "Ready?" She asked as Billy nodded. "Go for it baby sis, take us to Phoebe." Chloe nodded with a smile and they were gone again in a puff of smoke.
NOW...
Chapter 7 - Thundersense of Fear
Max groaned and tossed and turned as fading visions of Phoebe shot through his mind followed by mind numbing pain that shot through his entire body like a rocket. Finally he snapped himself awake breathing heavily as he sat up realising he was back at home in his lair. Was it possible that everything was just a dream? He shook his head. No it couldn't have been. Phoebe was in trouble, and he knew it.
Throwing himself out of bed he was immediatly overcome with a wave of unwanted dizziness just as he saw Chloe teleport in beside him. "Max is awake everybody!" She called sending vibrations of aching through Max's head causing him to grit his teeth in pain. "Easy there kiddo, your going to give him a headache." Said Dr. Colosso as Max looked over and saw him in his rabbit form once again.
"What happened?" Max asked wearily. "Not much to say." Colosso replied. "Short version is that we all got in trouble by your parents for sneaking out to find you and Phoebe and they turned me back into my rabbit form." He said grumbling in anger at the thought of being a rabbit again. Suddenly he heard footsteps descending from the staircase as he noticed his mom, dad, Billy and Nora all with looks of relief and concern on their faces. "Oh my baby!" Barb squealed as she wrapped her arms tighly around Max. "How are you feeling sweetheart? Are you okay?"
Max was about to answer when his vision suddenly went blurry and he began to see double. "Max? You alright there son?" Hank asked as he could see him swaying gently on his heels as though he was about to fall over. Barb gently put her arm out ot catch Max as he fell back against the bed with his head hitting his pillows. His eyes sqeezed shut as a blast of pain shot through his body as he ground his teeth together to keep from crying out. He knew something was wrong with Phoebe, but he didn't know where she was. All he could feel was the pain from the laser still coursing throughout his entire being.
Once the pain finally died down and he no longer felt dizzy, Max slowly opened his eyes to find his mother staring at him with tears filled up in her eyes. "What's the matter sweetie?" She asked soothingly. A rush of guilt suddenly flowed through Max now as he slowly sat up despite his mother pleading with him to stay down. "It's Phoebe." He said softly. "I can't feel her anymore." "What? what do you mean?" Barb asked sitting down on the bed beside him. "Since Phoebe and I were little, we've always been able to read each other's minds, and feel what the other one was feeling, sadness, pain etc." Max explained much to the looks of shock from his parents. "Except now I can't feel her anymore thanks to Dark Mayhem." He said sadly. "And it's all my fault."
Tears began to blur Max's vision now followed by a feeling of overwhelming guilt and regret. "She's going to die because of me." He said sadly. "It's my fualt she doesn't make it in this war." Barb gently helped Max sat up in the bed and wrapped her arms around him in a loving hug. "Sweetie, it's not your fault." She said gently. "We'll find her okay? We'll find Phoebe and we'll take care of this Dark Mayhem together." Max shook his head. "I can't let you mom." He said softly. "This is my responsibility. I know you and dad want to protect me, but I have to take care of this matter myself. I have to save Phoebe."
"That's something I never would've expected you to say in a million years." Colosso said from his cage. "What happened to Max the villian?" Max shook his head and replied, "As of right now, I'm through with trying to be evil. I mean if being evil is where it gets me between saving my sister's life, then I'm not going to become like that." Everyone in his family all looked at him shocked as though he had lost his mind, including Chloe who's mouth was wide open in a small o of surprise.
"Id never thought I'd hear those words coming out of your mouth in a millon years." Colosso said shaking his head. "Are you sure your not a robot? How do we know we didn't save a robot and not the real Max Thunderman? Who are you and what have you done with Max Thunderman you faker!" "Whoa, Colosso, would you chill out. It's me." Max replied as a sudden pinch to his arm made him cry out. "Ow!" He looked down at Chloe, who smiled up at him and said, "Yep it's still Max."
"Ow, Chloe why would you do that?" Max asked looking at his little sister while rubbing his arm tenderly. "That hurt." "Cause Colosso said you were a fake so I wanted to make sure." "Sweetie, that's nice, but that's no reason to pinch your brother." Barb said picking up Chloe and holding her. "Yeah, you don't pinch fakes Chloe, you burn them." Nora declared as she fired off two shots of lazers from her eyes which knocked Max backward flying over his bed. "Nora!" Barb scoulded her daughter as she and Hank rushed over to check on Max. "Honey, are you okay?" Barb asked helping Max to his feet as he slowly nodded. "I think so," He replied slowly shaking off a wave of dizziness that suddenly overwhelmed him.
"Nora, you don't lazer your brother with your lazer eyes." Barb said rounding on Nora who just simply smiled and replied, "Sorry, I was just trying to make a point to Chloe about what to do against bad guys." "That doesn't give you the right to harm your brother." Barb said. "Mom, it's okay." Max said. "I know she didn't mean it, it's alright."
"Seriously, what happened to the Max with the mean streak?" Colosso asked shaking his head. "Am I seriously the only one freaking out about Max's sudden change of heart? I swear I'm about to have a bunny heart attack!" Colosso then rolled around in his cage until he fell over in a dramatic fashion. "Colosso don't get your rabbit ears in a twist." Max said knocking on the door of his cage. "I swear it's still me, I'm not going to give up being completly evil, just until after this big battle is over." Colosso's rabbit ears poked up. "Really?" He asked getting back up. "You mean it?" Max let out a heavy sigh and replied, "If I say yes, will you stop being so overly dramatic?" "Possibly." Colosso replied with a nod.
"Okay, enough with all the lame jokes." Hank said finally. "Now it's up to all of us to save Phoebe. Any idea where she might be Max?" Max hung his head sadly. "I can't feel her anymore dad remember?" Barb turned and gave her husband an angry look as Chloe pointed out, "Way to go daddy." "Well how are we supossed to find her now?" He wondered throwing his hands up in frustration. Suddenly a wave of nausia washed over Max followed by a wave of unwanted dizziness as he nearly fell on the side of his bed. "Max? are you okay?" Nora asked placing a hand on his shoulder to keep him from falling over.
Max tried to respond but he suddenly felt like he couldn't breathe. It was like everything inside him was being run over and crushed by a speeding railroad train, it was both painful and nausiating at the same time. "Max? Max can you hear me?" Suddenly Max's heart thundered wildly in his chest in both relief and worry. "Phoebe? Is that you?" He asked, trying to shake off the pain and nausia.
"Max, listen to me, I don't have much time to explain, but whatever happens, just know that you can't-" A sudden burst of pain shot through Max causing him to cry out in agony as he fell to his knees holding his head. What the heck is going on? He wondered trying to shake off the pain. How is it that I'm suddenly able to hear Phoebe calling me? Another burst of pain shot through him again. "Phoebe? Phoebe can you hear me?" There was nothing but silence in his head now as a wave of darkness threatened to engulf him as he fought the urge to pass out. "Phoebe? Phoebe!"
TOO BE CONTINUED...WOW! Talk about intense, hope the Thundermans will be able to find Phoebe in time, also which twin to you believe will survive the final battle that will decide the fate of the world? Stay tuned Chapter 8 is coming soon!
