Italics = thinking

Previously on The Thundermans - "Phoebe listen to me," Max said trying to keep himself calm. "Where are you? What did Dark Mayhem and Sarah do to you?" There was nothing but silence in his head again. "Phoebe, I know you're in pain trust me I can feel it, but you need to tell me where you are so that I can help you." Suddenly without warning, it seemed as if the entire building he was standing in now became engulfed in a surge of bright light nearly breaking his psychic connection with his sister. "Well well, if it isn't Maximus Thunderman. Didn't think you would actually show up." Max turned his head to see none other then of course Dark Mayhem himself heading toward him. "Where's Phoebe?" He asked gritting his teeth in anger. "What have you done with her?" "Oh I wouldn't worry about her." Dark Mayhem said evilly. "Besides, you should be more worried about yourself at the moment."

"Okay now listen to me, I'm going to need you to teleport back home and get mom and dad, along with Billy and Nora." He instructed as Chloe looked at him in confusion. "But I want to stay with you and help you save Phoebe." She replied in a sad voice as she looked at him with tears in her eyes. Max sighed and shook his head. "You are helping me save Phoebe." He replied. "I need you to get the rest of the family because Phoebe and I won't be able to defeat Dark Mayhem alone once I rescue her, but with all of our powers working together, then we'll be able to beat him."

"Max needs our help to save Phoebe." She blurted out frantically. "Hey, hey, I've already done my good deed by saving Max's life." Colosso said as he scratched his ear with his foot. "I don't need the super villain league discovering that the once and great Doctor Colosso has had a change of heart or something. I mean come on, they find out about that and I'll be the laughing stalk of the Villain league." Chloe's eyes narrowed again this time in anger as the youngest Thunderman child blinked back tears of fear. "So what being evil is more important then Max and Phoebe's lives?"

Colosso looked taken aback by Chloe's words but didn't say anything as she banged on his cage a few more times causing him to cry out in pain from the sound vibrating off the metal. "I thought you were supposed to be our friend Colosso." She said angrily as tears glistened in her eyes. "Guess I was wrong." Chloe turned to leave when a smile crept up on her face the moment she heard Colosso let out a loud groan of annoyance and irritation. "Alright! Alright, I'll do it." Colosso finally blurted out as Chloe turned to face him grinning. "I knew you would change your mind." She said happily as she unlocked Colosso's cage and picked him up in her arms. "Why can't I ever say no to kids?!" Colosso asked with a whine as Chloe teleported with him.

Upstairs, Chloe managed to teleport into Billy and Nora's shared room to find them playing laser tag, which they soon stopped just as they saw Chloe holding onto Colosso. "Chloe, what are you doing here?" Nora asked. "And why are you holding onto Colosso?" Billy asked finishing Nora's obvious thoughts. "You're not planning on dressing him up again are you?"

"No way!" Colosso cried out. "There is no way this bunny is wearing a pink dress with makeup ever again. I'm an evil mastermind I tell you, not a dress up toy for puny children!"

All three Thunderman kids ignored Colosso's evil rant as Billy and Nora once again turned to their baby sister. "Chloe, what's going on? Where's Max?"

"Max needs help." She said triumphantly. "Phoebe needs us!"

Billy and Nora both looked at each other for a second then back at their little sister and said in unison, "We're in!"

"In on what may I ask?" Came the voice of their father as all three kids turned around to see both him and their mother staring at them with looks of disappointment etched on their faces. "Uh-oh." Colosso said in a soft tone. "Busted." Billy finished upon glaring at his mother. "You're darn right you're busted." Barb said with a stern voice. "Now what exactly is going on here?"

"Dark Mayhem has Phoebe, and Max went off to save her!" Billy blurted out much to the dismay of his sisters. "Way to keep it subtle Billy." Nora growled softly as she gave off a tiny laser to her brother's finger, which caused him to gasp and cry out, "OW!"

"Alright, now that's enough." Barb said her voice slightly changing from stern to concern as she looked at her husband. "If this is true Hank, then we have to do something." Hank nodded at his wife's words then looked at his children. "Well then if Phoebe and Max are in trouble, then this looks like a job for the Thundermans to save the day!" He called out triumphantly as Billy and Nora cheered. "Alright! it's Hero time!" Billy shouted as he used his super speed and came back a second later in his superhero outfit. "Now let's do this thing!" He called out triumphantly.

A few moments later, once the rest of the family were dressed in their superhero attire, a sinking feeling began to wash over Barb. "You okay honey?" Hank asked placing a hand on his wife's shoulder. "What if we're too late?" She asked looking at him as tears glistened in her eyes. "What if we're too late to save them? What of lose Max and Phoebe forever?"

Hank wrapped his arms lovingly around his wife's waist and replied, "We'll find them alright? we're not losing any of our kids tonight okay? I promise. Now let's do this." Barb nodded as she picked up Chloe. "Can you take us all to where Max is sweetie?" She asked softly as Chloe nodded. "Let's go and save the day!" She cheered as she and the rest of the Thunderman's all vanished a swirl of smoke.

NOW...

Chapter 10 - The Approaching Storm

Dark Mayhem seemed pleased with Max and how determined he was to save his sister, it almost seemed unreal that a supervillian with so much promising potential such as Max would even be at all concerned for the safety of someone who was always holding him back from reaching his true destiny. His emerald green eyes beneath his mask shimmered unnaturally as he strolled over toward him. "Tell me something Max, with all the constant bickering and arguing you and your sister get into, why would you risk everything to save her?"

"Because that's what you do for family." Max declared angrily as he felt the surge of fire in his hand grow hotter. "And you're done playing mind games with me." He yelled out as he hurled the ball of flames toward him but Dark Mayhem simply moved out of the way as the ball of flames hit a nearby wall behind him. "Stay away from me!" Max cried out as he drew in a large breath of air, but a sharp tingling feeling suddenly passed through his skin, and as a wave of sharp icy pain shot through his throat making it hard to suppress a cough, he suddenly began to realize something was wrong. Was it coming from Phoebe? No if that was the case he would've sensed it, and Phoebe always kept her powers in check, so why all of a sudden was Max starting to lose control over his? A sudden blast of fiery heart surging through him now caused him to cry out as he fell to his knees. His vision began to blur and a pounding sensation in his head quickly informed him that something was seriously wrong with him.

"It looks like it's almost time father." Sarah's voice reached Max's ears now as he caught a blurred outline of her red haired frame entering and standing next to Dark Mayhem. "Looks like it shouldn't be too much longer now." Dark Mayhem replied finishing his daughter's thoughts. "What is happening to me?" Max groaned trying to make it to his feet again, but a wave of dizziness sweeping over him quickly forced him back down with a muffled cry of pain as he bit down on his lip to keep himself from crying out. "Don't try and fight it Max." Sarah's soothing voice said as he caught her blue eyes staring at him from behind her glasses as she made an advance toward him. "What did you do to me?" Max asked with a groan of pain as the pounding sensation in his head began to grow now to almost unbearable. "It's not us Max." Sarah said softly. Max flinched as her soothing touch came into contact with his skin. "You are aware of the circumstances surrounding your birth am I right?" She asked as Max tried to move away from her. "What does that have to do with anything?" He asked with a hiss of pain escaping from his lips as he tried to hold back a cry of agony.

"Do you have any idea as to why you and Phoebe have to fight in the battle for control over the world's fate?" She asked softly as Max shook his head despite the ravaging agony his body was in. "The only thing mom and dad told us was that on the day we were born that there was a hybrid solar eclipse or something." Max replied his voice slightly shaking due to the tremendous amount of pain he was in. "Well, they were slightly right." Sarah replied as Max flinched again at her touch. "But what your parents failed to mention was that it was a solar eclipse that occurred on that day." Sarah replied as Max gaped at her in disbelief. "What are you talking about?" He asked as Sarah continued, "The day you and your sister were born, there was an eclipse, however, due to the circumstances of the timing, it was both a solar and a lunar eclipse."

"What do you mean?" Max asked. "In ancient times, the power of the sun represented those among the light, those who were born of good, while the moon represented the opposite, those among the dark who were born of evil." Sarah explained. "The sun was in the sky at the time of your sister's birth, which was around 5:59pm, but then the moment you were born, which was about 20 seconds later, the moon began to rise in the sky, which then started to form a shadow over the sun like an eclipse."

Max shook his head and couldn't believe everything that was coming from Sarah's mouth. There was no way any of this could possibly be true, it had to be a lie. That was the one thing that kept tumbling over and over in Max's head as he tried to move away from Sarah's touch, but as she suddenly made a cold hard grasp for his arm, a wave of instant pain flew into him causing him to cry out as he stared at her face and saw that her once pure and gentle blue eyes had now shifted to a blazing red hot crimson color. "Don't worry Max, everything will be okay. In a matter of moments you won't feel a single thing." Max tried to open his mouth to ask a question as to what it was that she meant, but a wave of red hot agony surged through him again, this time however causing him to black out.

By the time the rest of the Thunderman's had landed near the location of the Thundervan, Chloe instantly felt an intense gaze coming from her mother. "Uh-oh." She murmured softly. "If I wasn't too busy worrying about the safety of my children I would so ground Max right now." Barb replied in a harsh voice. "I cannot believe he would drive off in the Thundervan without telling us!"

"Uh actually Barb, I think we can all agree to believe that this would be the kind of thing that Max would do." Hank said softly as he stroked his hand across the Thundervan to check briefly for any signs of scratches. "You sure this is the right spot kid?" Colosso asked from the clutches of Nora's arms as Chloe nodded with confirmation. "Okay then now let's find Max then Phoebe so we can get out of here." Nora said turning toward Billy. "Come on Billy, let's go."

Billy however didn't seem to be listening and was staring up at the sky with an eerie feeling of fear washing over him as if he was in some sort of trance or something.

"Billy? You okay?" Nora went over and gently patted her brother on the shoulder. "What's up?" She asked as Billy replied in almost a trance-like state, "Have you ever noticed how fascinating it is when the sun and the moon are in the sky at the same time?" Nora looked up to see what it was that her brother was talking about.

The sun was starting to set, but yet the moon was out, and now seemed to almost be passing through the shadow of the sun as if to almost block it out somehow. "Barb looked over to see what it was her children were gazing at and a chilling wave of fear raced down her spine. "Oh my god! Hank it's happening!" She squealed in terror. "What? What's happening?" Colosso asked his white fur standing on end in terror. Barb and Hank immediatly looked at each other and said, "We're running out of time. We need to find Phoebe and Max now before the Triad does." "Why?" Nora asked. "What's happening? Does it have to do with the prophecy?" Barb went to respond but a chilling wave of fear raced through her again the moment a bone chilling scream of agony reached her ears. "Oh my god! That's Max!" She squealed in alarming panic. "Hurry Hank we have to get to him before the prophecy comes true or we'll lose him forever!"
