Max and Alec walked down the tunnel. Both close together, rounding each corner with care. Soon Alec groaned and pounded the wall in anger. "Gosh, I swear that we passed that rock 12 times!" Alec complained. Max sighed and flipped her hair back stressfully. Alec turned the wall and began pounding his fist on it repeating. Max rolled her eyes as she looked around. Then suddenly a cold hand gripped her mouth and she felt someone grab her and yank her backwards. Max's hand flew up and she grabbed he hand around her mouth trying to yank it off, it didn't work. Max tried to struggle and fidget but the strong arm held her close to her enemy's body. She could hear Alec turn around and then silence.

Alec looked around in a confused manner. "OK, she was just here.. Max?!" he called out. No answer. "Max!?" he yelled again, hearing his voice echo throughout the tunnel. Alec's sharp eyes looked around quickly, aware of any tiny movement. Alec then watched Ames walk out from his hiding spot in front of Alec. "Max, you changed. I don't like it. You're no longer sexy." Alec replied looking at Ames. He only grinned at his comment and pretended to ignore it. "Hello 494." Ames replied grinning, welcoming back his stupidity and humor. Alec's eyes went serious into one of Ben's evil faces. "Where's Max?" He demanded.

Ames didn't answer instead sent a punch flying in the direction of his face. Alec raised his hand and blocked it and instantly punched him in the stomach then in the face. Ames seemed to ignore the pain Alec's blows brought him and nailed Alec in the face, which sent him staggering back into a wall. Ames ran towards him with all his might, but Alec grabbed Ames' arm and flipped him over his shoulder, causing him to land really hard on the ground floor. Ames slowly got up to his feet and Alec keeping his distance away from his enemy. They circled each other like 2 hungry lions, glaring into each other's eyes.

Max fidgeted hardly, trying to get free of Logan's grip. She could hear the kicks and punches that Alec and Ames gave one another. She had to get out and help Alec. Then doing the first thing that came to her mind she bit down hard on Logan's thumb. Logan yanked his hand off her mouth and shook the pain out of his hand. Max didn't waste any time and she elbowed Logan in the face. This caused him to let go of her waist completely. Max knew where he was she could feel where he was, so she them spun around kicking out her leg and kicking him in the face, shoving him back against the wall.

Max did a backhand spring and landed in the defensive stand, her fists to her chest. Logan walked slowly up to her. Max lunged at him punching at his left cheek. Logan blocked it so Max shot at his right cheek, but again he blocked it. Taking a step she spun around and locked her arm out, hoping to nail him in the face. But Logan ducked and before she could pull her arm back he grabbed her elbow and flipped her over his head. Max landed on the ground on her shoulder, doing a somersault on the ground before she landed. Logan hovered over her and tried to punch her in the face. Max moved her head to the right just as his fist came crashing down onto the concrete, breaking it. Max brought her left leg up, kicking him in the back of the head, which got him away from her.

Max jumped up and kicked at his side. Logan unexpedically caught it. Max looked horrified at Logan who had a god grip on her leg. Just as he was about ready to trip her she lifted her other leg up and soon was in a handstand position. Before Logan knew what happened Max kicked the foot he had captured on his face, making him let go of her ankle then grabbed his neck with both feet and threw him to the ground. Logan landed with a thud as Max's feet landed on the ground. Logan then slid between her legs and jumped up behind her. Before Max could react Logan grabbed her hair tightly. "Not the hair." Max complained in between clenched teeth as she grabbed his wrist. Logan grinned and threw her into the wall. Max's head bounced off the hard concrete and she feel to the ground on her side, her back to him.

Pain filled her head and made it fill as if it would explode. Logan rolled his eyes at her pain and then turned around and watched Ames and Alec duke it out some more. Max grabbed her head and shut her eyes tight. Flashbacks of her getting beaten by Manticore officials or being beaten in training came to her, making her remember painful memories. Max winced inside as she head Alec groan and get throw into something but what Max was not sure. Lying here isn't going to help me get out. Alec can't hold out much longer and soon he'll have both of us, I'm just helping them, making things easier for them by just lying here, Max thought.

Max slowly but surely managed to get up the pain inside her head increasing and she slowly turned around to Logan, who's back was to her. Max's mouth went down her eyebrows as well, glaring at him, watching his body shake as a sigh of laughing, more than likely at Alec. Max then kicked him hard in the back, which caused him to smack into Ames, making them both fall to the ground. "Come on!" Max shouted as she grabbed Alec's hand and running down the tunnel, praying it le to a way out.
