Max: "Well then? I never heard of this fourth transformation. I suppose Solen and Binda should test their mettle against you."
Binda: "Whatever this 4 thing is it doesn't scare me. You're just an ugly freak. Solen, I think it's time we did something about his abysmal fashion sense, don't you agree?"
Solen: "(chuckles between his teeth)"
J-Dude: "I'm ready. Show me what ya' got!"
Binda: "So be it. Prepare to have your head handed to you chimp-man!"
Binda and Solen both disappeared and reappeared behind J-Dude, who hadn't moved once. They put their hands together in a two-handed smash, and thrust it down. But by the time they should have met their mark, he was gone. He reappeared behind them.
Binda: "Did you see where he went?"
Solen: "He gone!"
J-Dude: "You should really think better of your opponent. Anyone who fights pompously always ends up with a rude awakening."
Surprised, they both charged energy beams and fired them. J-Dude simply caught them in his hands and brandished them like baseballs.
J-Dude: "Here, I think these belong to you."
He tossed them back, hitting each squarely in the chest. The spider-like Binda shot a white substance from his mouth. It wrapped around him like gauze on a mummy, until he was completely encased.
Solen: "This Binda's acid web attack. It burn you to big sausage like barbeque!"
J-Dude: "You know they put safety labels on this stuff? The rules are, do not keep contents under pressure, do not puncture, and do not burn, or in this case, incinerate!"
J-Dude fired up his energy aura, causing the web to catch fire and dissolve. The flow of fire continued up to Binda's mouth, but he spit it out before he too could be burned up.
Binda: "You'll pay for that!"
J-Dude: "That's only if you can make me."
Binda: "Well if I can't beat you into submission, I'll just have to try something vulgar!"
J-Dude: "Why not."
Binda leaped into the air, with fangs out of his mouth, and brought them down on his shoulder. He leaped off again. Landing with his arms crossed.
Binda: "Heh heh heh! My fangs secrete an extremely powerful neurotoxin. I'd say you have about a minute left before your body seizes up. You will begin to feel excruciating cramps, followed by terrible pain. Don't worry, death will come swiftly after that."
J-Dude didn't look whatsoever concerned. On the contrary, he looked amused.
J-Dude: "That's if you can penetrate my skin."
He showed his unscathed shoulder.
Binda: "But, how!"
As he spoke, the tips of his fangs broke away from his mouth. Solen let out a small gasp of fear and reverence.
J-Dude: "You know you have no chance against me. Just leave and you can pass without consequence."
Max: "And who are you to let them do that?"
J-Dude: "What?"
Max looked at him in the way someone does while they teach a child addition.
Max: "If they leave they will not pass without consequence as you put it. If they run like cowards, I will burn them into oblivion. They will fight you until I say otherwise."
J-Dude: "In that case I'm guessing they didn't join you by choice."
Max: "Oh please. The majority of beings in this Universe that hold great power are on either your side or no side at all. These two are the champions of their planets. After a short exhibition with the two of them, they saw clearly where they stood. Besides, I threatened them with the extermination of their people if they did not. They don't really have any choice in what they do."
J-Dude: "You're a twisted man Max! I can't believe you and I were once one person. I never would have imagined that such hatred and cowardice dwelled in me! You can't expect me to fight people that didn't want any of this in the first place."
Max: "Even though they probably are aching to back you up, I have proven myself to be superior to all beings in their eyes. Well, what are you waiting for? Fight!"
Solen and Binda took their positions again. J-Dude decided he wanted to end their pain quickly, but not lethally. He dashed in front of them, and socked them hard in the stomach, careful not to leave any lasting damage. The two of them keeled over and lay helpless on the ground, unmoving except for the heavy breathing they were doing. Max looked highly annoyed.
Solen: "Master Monarch, please help."
Binda: "I think he broke something."
They expected Max to seem angry, but to their surprise he merely smirked.
Max: "I think you've fought enough today. You can stop. First, let me help you out."
Max put his hand forward and caused their bodies to glow. He began to transfer energy to them.
Binda: "Thank you Monarch sir, you are most generous."
Max: "Oh, you don't know the half of it."
Binda, and Solen's energy level was back to normal, but Max kept going.
Binda: "Please, sir, we're at full capacity!"
Solen: "Ohh."
Their muscles were bulging, every muscle in their bodies. They were well past what they needed. They swelled dangerously.
Solen: "Master Monarch…"
Max: "Well brother, it would seem that your attempt at helping them is delivering them to a more painful death than they could have had at your hands! WEAKLINGS!"
Finally, with one horrifying scream, the overwhelming power caused them to explode, leaving only a cloud of smoke. J-Dude looked appalled and furious.
J-Dude: "You… YOU FIEND! ALL THEY DID WAS FIGHT FOR YOU, EVEN THOUGH IT WASN'T THEIR CHOICE! THEY NEEDED YOUR HELP, AND YOU KILLED THEM! It's despicable! No mercy, even for your allies! You're a monster!"
Max: "Thank you…I like that image to be in the minds of my underlings. You see an enemy that can socialize, and think is just the symbol of a power hungry dictator. However, you see a monster is much different. People are more afraid of a monster than a tyrant. The idea of a foe that seems mindless, wordless and insatiably bloodthirsty strikes fear into the hearts of most people. Both are just as dangerous, but which do you see in a nightmare; a fearsome beast, or a soldier with a gun?"
J-Dude: "I see your point, but you can't scare everyone. Even those who have the odds of a million to one against them will gladly fight even if it takes them to the grave. Not everyone is afraid of death."
An annoyed, confused expression made its way onto Max's visage.
Max: "Everyone is afraid of death! If someone does not fear death, then they don't fear anything. Everyone is afraid of something."
J-Dude: "That's right, but fear doesn't draw the line at death. There are worst fates than death."
Max: "There is nothing worst than death!"
J-Dude: "I can name one that you're going to face: eternal suffering in HFIL."
Max sneered. His enemy seemed like a joke to him.
Max: "Well I suppose that's true…if you plan on dying. But I won't bore you any longer with details. Let's go…"
