Max and his friends' time travel to the events after disarming the nuke but before he decides to run for the office. He decides not to but he has Kinzie and Matt compile data to give to the government so that they can have an advantage against the impending Zin invasion. World leaders around the world unite and build several counter measures in the months following. The Saints again time travel to the exact day that the Zin invade and witness the Zins utter destruction. With that finally being over, Max has to turn his attention to personal problem.
Max's POV
"So now that those alien f*ckers are gone, what do we do now boss?" asks Pierce
"I think we've earned a little R&R. I say we just head back to the HQ in steelport" I respond, finally I can get some rest. At least for a little bit before I have to deal with my other issue…
Pierce talks again interrupting my thoughts but this time he was talking to Shaundi
"So… girl, now that we're in Steelport in the real world, does that mean you're going to move in with the Boss and cancel your show?" he asks
"Pierce. Not now" she hisses
"But I thought you two wer-"
"Shut the f*ck up Pierce" she shouts before storming off into the streets of steelport
"Boss, what did you do to her" Pierce asks me slightly amused
"Uh it is kinda complicated but I think that when we had brunch, Asha put some type of drug or something that made Shaundi sleepy and made me sexually crazed" I explained
"Wait. So you're saying that you banged Asha? And how the hell did drugs in a simulation transfer over to the real world"
Kinzie comes into the conversation and is about to speak but Pierce and I simultaneously said "I'd rather not know"
Pierce asks "So what are you going to do about it? I mean I haven't seen Asha around since you killed Zinyak"
"I don't know but I have to get Shaundi back. It was a mistake that was purposefully planned by Asha but I have to prove it to Shaundi" I mutter sadly
Again Kinzie steps beside me and explains "From some data I could recover from the simulation, I found that since what we ate in the simulation came into the real world, then drugs also had the same effect. As for these narcotics that were allegedly put into your food by Asha; I have found a catalogue in the data that lists different anomalies which aren't supposed to be in the simulation. I found one that induces drowsiness and one that makes your hormones go on over drive"
Pierce and I look at her for a second to process everything she just said. Although I didn't get much of it, what I did understand is that I can prove to my love that what I did wasn't exactly 100% wanted and voluntary.
"You wonderful Deus Ex Machina you" I exclaim happily while giving her a tight hug
"Boss since when do you hug people" questions Pierce, baffled at the fact that I was showing some affection
"Don't ruin the moment Pierce" I respond
I release Kinzie and then I tell her "So we just take this computer of yours to Shaundi and show it to her and you explain everything you just said to us and problem solved!"
"Pretty much, yeah" she says
I quickly find the nearest car and knock out the driver, take the keys, signal Kinzie to get into the car, and I start driving to Shaundis old apartment. In my haste I completely forgot about Pierce and I could hear him shouting "Hey! What about me!" but at the moment I was too excited to care. Finally arriving at her place we go inside and hear her crying inside of the tiny room.
"Shaundi" I whisper
She was lying face down in the bed but turned around when she heard me "What do you want" she says in between sniffs
I walk over to the bed and kneel in front of her, caressing her cheek and wiping her tears away. I notice that she wouldn't look me in the eye. So I grabbed her head and tilted it up so that she had no choice but to look at my eyes.
"Shaundi, baby, I can prove to you that what I did wasn't me"
"What do you mean it wasn't you. You were clearly in the video" she stammers
I sigh and there a short silence before I start "Well it wasn't me in the sense that I was drugged so that I was a sexual monster. I couldn't control myself and since you were asleep Asha just presented herself as if she knew it was going to happen"
I signal Kinzie to come in and she pops her laptop open and plants it in front of Shaundi. She begins to explain everything all over again. Shaundis facial expression went from heartbreak to happy to furious.
"I swear the next time I see that b*tch im going to f*cking kill her" she yells
She turns to me and her eyes start to water again
"Im so sorry…" she said before bursting into tears again. I bring her in and embrace her for what seemed like forever.
Kinzie feeling a bit awkward standing there just lets herself out
"I have no idea where Asha is but we'll find her" I say
"We better because she deserves to get shot"
Eventually she cried herself to sleep so I carried her into the stolen car and drove back to the Saints HQ. I carried her bridal style up to my room and tucked her under the sheets in my bed. I remembered that before all of this bullshit happened, I had promised her I was gonna make up for that lame stunt I pulled about Josh. OH SHI*. Since he is alive now he is going to be annoying as hell….
Oh well. I have to admit though, all his antics to get with Shaundi are pretty hilarious. Well considering the strong reaction he always gets. I have the perfect way to make it up to her. I get into my car and drive for a few minutes until I reach a store.
I get out of the car and enter the store and im greeted with "Hello good sir, are you interested in buying valuables time pieces, necklaces or bracelets"
"No, I'm interested in buying a ring"
