YO! You thought I was gone, huh? Well, I'm still on vacation, but it doesn't mean I'm not available. So...here it is! Max takes down Sabi!


Chapter 28: Max vs. Sabi

Minutes before Sabi will appear to battle Max, Kiba took him to the side and he said, "This is it, Max. This will be the biggest fight of your life. Everything you've trained so far...is finally here. Lucky guy...fighting off two girls as final opponents."

"Yeah, okay." Max said, a little sarcastically weirded out by Kiba's thoughts.

Kiba clears his throat and focused on the actual point and he said, "I just wanna let you know that no matter what happens, I'm really proud of you for making it this far. You've really shown that someone as young as you can do big things in your life."

"And I got you to thank, Kiba...for believing in me. It really helped me through all those battles." Max said, smiling.

"Count on it, kid." Kiba added, giving Max a fist bump and a hug.

Soon afterwards, Max brought in his yin-yang necklace and he said, "Now, everyone will know that it's a nine year old fighting like a pro."

"Clever, dude." Kiba said, patting his back as Max walks to the stage.

Kiba stands up and watches his little tiger brother/student go out to the stadium arena where a lot of audiences are cheering for him and it's one moment that he'll always treasure for the rest of his life and with tears in his eyes, he whispered, "You're a winner to me, Maxie-boy."

At the arena, Max stood there waiting for his opponent to show up and he was keeping himself steady for what's about to come up soon and soon enough, Sabi walks across the stadium and she was not gonna play games with this kid and that she's gonna ruin him and win the title. One look at Max means ultimate war between white tiger and black panther and she lets out a growl and said, "Stay out of my way...because you don't stand a chance against me."

"Try me. I'll prove you wrong." Max answered.

She snarls at him and wants nothing more than to demolish him in front of everyone and as soon as the gong sounds, Sabi immediately tackles him and pins him down on the ground and snarls at him and attempts to beat him up badly, but Max quickly kicked her stomach and did a backflip and lands on the ground with no scratches.

Everyone chanted his name out loud and Max continued to spar with Sabi, giving her mounds of punches, kicks, flips, spins and shoves to continue getting stronger and stronger and the black panther couldn't believe who strong this kid is and she didn't really care for that because all that matters to her is to finish him off badly.

Sabi went ahead and bashed him straight in the head with her foot and shoved him down to the ground, but all it did to Max was to slide down and stand up again, starting with a perfect basic stance. Sabi was getting more and more frustrated that he's still not giving up without a fight and she continued to go out her way to take him down harder and make him give up.

She growls and gave him such a thrashing, but Max blocked and dodged every single punch she threw out to him and just proceeded to confuse her by going in front of her and then behind her until she grew increasingly confused and gave him an opportunity to use the new move he's gonna make.

"Little pipsqueak...you think you're gonna take me down? I'm the best thing in this competition!" Sabi shouted.

Sabi got on all fours and planned to pin him down again, but this time...the tables were turned and it's Max that leaped in the air and kicked Sabi straight in the jaw and pinned her down instead. As he did so, he looked at her in the eye and said, "Never mess with Maximus Bushido-Akio."

The crowd went in full-on droves to give her one final knockout and Max gladly obliged to do so and kicked her straight in the air and Sabi landed on the ground hard and everyone in the crowd cheered and applauded for Max like out of control and he was definitely gracious for obtaining this victory.

"Sabi is unable to battle! Max won the first final round!" Po shouted.

Max rose a fist in the air as the crowd cheered for him and chanted for him and the white tiger cub chuckled softly and smiled at everyone. Arizona and Musaki stood up and cheered for him very loudly and was totally happy for him.

As Sabi got up, she saw that Max had won and grunts in frustration at herself, thinking why she lost out to him and that was one moment that she's mad about...especially with the fact that she was beaten by a nine year old.


Sorry if it was short. Max was hardcore to take down Sabi, but still plays it like a kid. The music montage for the battle; 'Sing for the Moment' from Eminem, 'Me Against the World' from Simple Plan and 'Wretches and Kings' from Linkin Park. If you haven't heard of those songs, search them on youtube. What songs do you guys think would fit? Next up...it's Max's final showdown with Saori!
