Max and the ultralinks were thinking of ways they could get out of this until a sudden idea popped into Max's head

"w-well when the elementor's absorbed so much of my turbo energy they blew up" Max said remembering what would happen to him if he had to much turbo energy

forge seem to have accepted the answer seeing as he knew what would happen if something had to much turbo energy

"alright listen you're going to go through some flight drills with Kat and Jefferson in 10 so get ready" forge said as he walked away to go take care of other N-TEK business

(20 minutes later)

Max was in his original flight mode so elementor's wouldn't be found out

"hey Max you ready for us to go through some drills" Kat said as she finished refueling her jet

"yeah you think you can keep up" Max said arrogantly getting a shocked look from Kat and Jefferson who just arrived eating a cheeseburger

"hold up just one second you think you can out fly me and Kat" Jefferson said while munching on his burger making sure he knew what Max meant

"oh no I don't 'think' I can beat you I 'know' I can" Max said cockily getting some amused responses from the ultralinks

'lets do it max this will be awesome' steel said excited

'show these fools our power' wind said eager to blow these fools away

'yes lets show these fools what happens when you challenge us' fire said eagerly not realizing what he was saying

'lets do it' water said eagerly wanting nothing more to beat the N-TEK troops

'yeah lets crush them' earth said as he was always ready for some action

(30 minutes later on a rooftop in copper canyon)

"alright Max first one to the base wins" Jefferson said revving up his boosters on his jet with Kat by his side

"alright but lets make this more interesting winner gets a favor from the loser" Max said

"alright get ready to owe us a favor" Jefferson said

"ready" Kat said beginning the countdown

"get set" Jefferson said

"go" yelled Max making both him and the N-TEK duo flew threw the sky

'hey wind fire you guys want help me beat these guys' Max said mentally through the ultralink bond

wind and fire didn't say anything as they pushed as much of their power into max making a sudden explosion in mid air signaling Max had blasted through the sound barrier

(with Kat and Jefferson)

"whoa Kat did you see that" Jefferson said not believing what he just saw

"yeah from the looks of these readings Max just hit mach 1 and his speed keeps climbing" Kat said not able to understand how Max's power jumped to such high proportions in such a short time compared to his previous rate of growth

(N-TEK base 20 minutes later)

Max was standing in the middle of the hanger and saw Kat and Jefferson's beginning to descend and land

as the two senior agents got out of the jet they walked straight to Max

"Max what was that how were you able to do that" Jefferson asked not being very specific to Max

"do what" Max said playing dumb to what Jefferson was asking

"Max we just saw you break through the sound barrier and that requires tremendous speed and we've seen your speed from previous flight drills and your speed jumped by a huge margin to reach where it is now what we don't understand is how" Kat said while she pulled up Max's results on her tablet of his previous flight drills that recorded his progress

"well it just happened" Max said blowing them off but Kat grabbed his wrist to stop him

"Max we're your friends you can trust us" Kat said not knowing the affect her words would have

"oh I can trust you that's funny seeing how everyone seems to be hiding everything from me and steel" Max said in a bitter tone making both agents to take a step back realizing Max always had the short end of the stick

"listen Max we know you might not have answers to all you're questions but-" Jefferson was saying until Max cut him off

"I need to be on a 'need to know basis' well forget that im not gonna work with people who don't seem to trust me and leave me in the dark" Max said transforming into his basic flight mode and creating a sonic boom as he flew from the ground sending Kat and Jefferson flying back

(in the sky over copper canyon)

'Max what do you know about N-TEK' water asked but instead of Max replying steel beat him to it

'that it tries to help the world by solving its biggest issues while also dealing with Dread and formely stopping you guys from causing chaos' he explained getting surprised 'looks' from the elemental ultralinks

'that is only the tip of the ice burg we ultralinks are an alien race that combine and improve what we link to and weaponize it' wind explained the basic information all ultralinks knew

'hey how come steel doesn't know any of this even earth knows this' fire said not understanding how an omega-class warrior didn't know such common knowledge but a hard headed link like earth did

"when me and steel first met he said his memory core was damaged and didn't remember anything from his past" Max explained getting surprised 'looks' from the elementor's as they didn't know what to say

'hey wait wind what are other ultralinks like' steel asked his fellow link curious about his race

'we are a race that took over planets and eradicated races to absorb and expand for the glory of our ruler Makino' wind explained how all ultralinks operated under the command of their 'glorious' leader

Max and steel were surprised at the information they had just received as it answered most of the questions

"listen you guys thanks for what you told us you didn't have to and it'll be a lot of help" Max said making the ultralinks happy that they were being appreciated

approaching his window Max decided to slow down in order to land safely in his room

Max transformed into his new outfit and got ready for bed but having an idea

"hey guys if you can increase my turbo modes can you improve my weapons" Max asked thinking steel might have an answer

'well since they have your turbo energy they can link with your weapons and we might see some new additions to our arsenal' steel said thinking of the possible out comes of how the weapons would work with the different ultralinks

(outside max's room)

Molly was worried about Max seeing as how he was acting out with people in N-TEK as she received a call from Forge as he notifies her on Max's progress and problems he doesn't want her to know about she decided to keep a closer eye on her son to figure out what was going on
