Previously on The Thundermans - "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 realise 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.
"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 grap 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 ment, but a wave of red hot agony surged through him again, this time however causing him to black out.
"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 eachother 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!"
NOW...
Chapter 11 - Phoebe Vs. Max (Part 1)
Phoebe's eyes slowly fluttered open as she let out a soft groan and opened her eyes. Finding herself lost in a daze as her vision blurred, she tried to adjust to the new surroundings that she explicitly found herself in. Her head pounded in rythmic timing with her heartbeat and she began to wonder about Max. She hadn't heard his voice rining inside her head for a while and was beginning to get worried. Had something happened to him? What was going on? Just then, as her eyes now began to adjust to her surroundings, she now realised that she was high above the ground leaning against something hard.
As she tried to move to get a better view of what it was that was happening, she then realised that her body was tied to what appeared to be some sort of ritualistic cross. What the? She shook her head as she somehow tried to make sense of what it was that happening, when the next thing she noticed as her vision gradually reaturned to normal was that of her twin brother Max. Tied in the same posistion she was, but to another cross directly in front of her on the other side.
"Max?" She tried calling out, but there was no answer. She watched as her brother's head which was hanging forward didn't move, and she began to almost immediatly assume the worst. "Max?" She tried again, but there was no response. Looking around she then began to wonder if she could somehow use her ice breath to break free of her bindings, but the moment she was about to make an attempt to, the was quiet stirring sounds coming from her brother.
Snapping her head toward Max's direction, she could see him beginning to move as he slowly raised his head toward her. "Phoebe?" Max was surprised by how weak his voice sounded, but gave off a soft smile once he saw the look of concern shimmering in his twin's brown eyes. "Are you okay?" She asked as Max slowly nodded in response despite the still somewhat aching pain that was softly ravaging throughout his body. Then he remembered Sarah's words about the truth of the prophecy and began to wonder why it was that their parents had lied to them. "Max?" Phoebe's voice broke him from his thoughts. "Maybe you could use freeze breath, and I can use heat to break free." Max suggested as Phoebe nodded in response.
Drawing in deep breaths of air, the twins concentrated feeling their powers welling up within them, as a stream of ice flew from Phoebe's mouth and instantly encased the ropes she was tied with in a stream of sky blue colored light, while a stream of heat blew from Max's mouth with encased his ropes in red and orange light which singed off his body in an insant allowing him to fall to his feet on the ground. The sound of Phoebe's feet touching the ground mere seconds later quickly informed him that his plan was a success. Once the twins were free, they then began to look around for some sort of an escape route, but of course there wasn't a single route to be seen. "Great. Now what do we do?" Max asked looking over at Phoebe, who just shrugged her shoulders in response. Just then there was a loud humming sound as everything around them suddenly began to shake.
"What's happening?" Phoebe asked as she and Max immedialty grabbed ahold of each other's hands for support. Max was about to answer her, when the sudden appearance of Dark Mayhem along with Sarah now stood before them high up in the rafters, and all around them there seemed to now be rows and rows of chairs with people sitting in them cheering, whooping and hollering. "What on earth is going on here?" Max wondered aloud mostly to himself rather then to his sister as the sound of Dark Mayhem's voice now came through a set of amplified speakers. "Ladies and gentleman of both the light and the dark! I give you the one and only, The Thunder Twins of the Thunderman Family!"
There were sounds of cheering and hollering sounds coming from all around them as the twins looked around in immediate confusion. "Now, as the time of the prophecy insues, let the battle of good and evil commence!" Dark Mayhem's voice hollered through the speakers again, and all at once the ground beneath the twins began to shake again, this time hard enough to pull them apart from each other. Phobe was flown to one side of the room, where as Max was thrown on the other side. "Max? What's happening?!" Phoebe cried out as a surge of terror rushed through her. Max went to answer when he looked up at the sky overhead to see the sky was covered on one side a shade light pink mixed with soft shades of orange while the other half of the sky was covered solely in dark blue. The orange sun was still shimmering in the sky when the rising of the moon made it's appearance and began to pass over the sun.
All at once the twins immediatly began to feel a strange surge of mystic energies passing through them. As Phoebe looked down at herself, she could see that she was glowing a shade of brilliant golden light, and a surge of warmth flew through her, it was so relaxing it was almost like being inside that of a hot tub. She looked over at Max from the other side, who much to her shock and surprise was enveloped in a thick cloud of black smoke. "Max?" She called out trying to reach her brother, but as Max now turned toward her, a sudden cry of pain escaped from his lips as he fell to his knees writhing in agony, and Phobe for once couldn't feel her brother's pain, which sent her heart to drop inside her chest with worry. "It's going to be okay Max." She said encouragingly. "It's going to be okay. You can do this. Just try and fight it."
Max tried to nod in response but a sudden wave of pain shot through his body which caused him to wince in agony as he held back a cry of pain. "It's going to be okay Max." Phoebe said softly as she tried to make it toward her fallen brother. "I'm here okay? We can figure out a way to stop this together. You just have to work with me, and we can get out this mess together."
"Quite a compossing speech there Miss Thunderman." Came the voice of Sarah now over the speakers. "Oh my god, if I didn't find her as annoying before, now I find her really annoying." Phoebe grumbled mostly to herself as she made a reach for her brother. "Come on Max. Let's show this jerks what the Thunder Twins can really do."
"Yes...Let's really show them what we can do." Max's sudden reply was surprisingly dark much to Phoebe's horror as her eyes turned now to her brother in confusion. "Max? You okay?" She asked. Max's gaze flickered now to his twin, and Phobe gasped as she noticed the look in her brother's eyes, which were now dark and cold.
"Max?" Her voice now slightly began to tremble due to fear as she watched her brother rise to his feet. "Max, please tell me this is still you and that you have some kind of plan or something." Phoebe pleaded, but her brother didn't seem to be interested in listening anymore. "Yeah I have a plan." He replied as an evil grin now crept up on his face. "A plan to destroy the side of light forever!" He declared as he used his telekiness now to lift his sister up into the air. Phoebe gasped as she tried to match her brother's strength but now suddenly felt overpowered as the strength of Max's power surged up to her neck beginning to cut off her supply of oxygyn. "Max...Please..." She gasped out as she struggled to try and breathe. "Stop..."
"So long ThunderGirl." Max's reply was cold extremely cold with no hint of emotion to it, which caused a shiver of fear to race down Phoebe's spine and a single tear to roll down her cheek. This was it. The prophecy was coming true, which ment that it was up to Phoebe to stop her brother or risk her own life and lose the entire world and all those innocent and everyone she ever loved to the side of evil, and she knew she couldn't let that happen, but could she find the strength within herself to save her brother from the dark side without losing him forever?
TOO BE CONTINUED...OMG! What's Going to happen now?! Is Max really lost to the side of the dark forever? Will Phoebe find the strength to save Max? Will she die? Will Max die? Stay tuned for more to come as Chapter 12 will be up as soon as I can get it. Hope you enjoyed and as always please review!
