A MIGHTY BOND THE NEXT GENERATION
Chapter 3 A reunion unknown
Whitney panted and wheezed running away from Eleking who was giving all effort to make a meal of him.
Normally in fear of venomous snakes Whitney would never run recklessly through the forest at night but naturally a giant monster changes everything.
The trees made it harder for the electric monster to capture it's fleeing prey.
Soon Eleking got annoyed with this large group of obstacles.
He fired some of his energy shots bring multiple trees to their knees.
Whitney kept her alert up in fear of being crushed by one of them.
Even if she did survive she would trapped and easy for Eleking to finish off.
She kept running until her legs felt like their were on fire and begging her to stop but she would not comprehend to such a suicidal thing.
Her muscles cramped, her bones felt as if they were being twisted into unusual shapes.
Still Whitney just kept running with Eleking in hot pursuit.
Not to far away, Kaito and Mizuki had followed the sound of her screams to their source.
The Dash team had heard rumors about sightings of a monster by the shore.
The description sounded very much like Eleking.
Now upon this arrival they saw clearly that this hunch was entirely correct.
Seeing the poor girl chased by the electric monster they knew what had to be done.
Kaito took out the Max Spark and transformed into Ultraman Max.
Upon appearing Max suddenly paused before battle.
Something about this girl seemed familiar too him.
He decided to think about that later as now was the time to fight.
Eleking however was much more interested in the girl then in the Ultra.
Whitney was now completely out of energy.
As much as she wanted to she couldn't take another step.
She fell down to the ground waiting for the monster to finish the work.
Eleking was about to shoot his tail and the girl and pull her towards him but just in the nick of time, Max darted in and grabbed Whitney in his right hand.
Eleking, angered by the interruption turned towards Max.
Max tried to set Whitney down but the electric monster attempted to snag her up.
Max tried again and the same thing happened.
He realized he would have to fight Eleking while still holding onto the girl.
That was undoubtedly going to be a challenge.
Eleking charged at Max like a Triceratops but Max beforehand jumped back a bit to give him a run up and then jumped over the electric monster.
Max immediately did a 180 degree spin facing the monster again.
Eleking swung it's tail like a whip at Max who jumped onto the ground holding himself up only with his left hand seeing Whitney was in his right.
After the tail passed over him Max jumped at Eleking like a Panther and swung his left fist into Eleking's face knocking the monster over.
He then stomped his foot into the beast's chest twice and hopped back preparing for another attack.
Eleking got back up onto his feet quickly and started firing energy projectiles.
As they approached Max immediately ducked down dodging the first.
He then did a backflip dodging the second.
The third he deflected with his left hand.
From there it was the same things repeated in random order until without warning Eleking's tail shot out and wrapped around Max.
Max knew he had no choice but to let go of Whitney.
If he held onto her then she would get shocked too.
Carefully just before Eleking let out his shock Max gently dropped her into a tree.
Max braced himself for the discharge but oddly enough it never came.
To his surprise he felt Eleking's tail began to uncoil on Max.
Max realized what he was about to do.
The electric monster's tail shot at Whitney and began to pull her towards him but Max also grabbed the tail at the point behind the area where Whitney was now coiled in.
The two struggled like a game of tug of war, neither was willing to let the other take Whitney.
Suddenly Max saw Eleking's antenna rotate, a sure sign that he was about to release a large shock.
Quickly Max let go of the tail with his right hand and he grabbed his Maximum Sword from the top of his head.
With a quick, swift sweep of his arm, the blade ran through a section of Eleking's tail cutting it off the body.
Max pulled Whitney out of the now lifeless limb piece and went back to protecting her.
The area on Eleking's tail was regrown and the monster went back to it's rampage.
Max prepaired himself for whatever next the creature would attack with.
Eleking fired more energy projectiles at Max.
This time Max created a energy barrier blocking the attack.
Then with a slam of his left fist he turned the barrier into a tornado that charged towards Eleking sending him flying away.
Seizing the opportunity, Max walked over next to Mizuki and placed Whitney beside her.
Mizuki escorted her away.
That was about when Eleking returned, now he didn't see Whitney at all and had no idea where she was now.
Too small to stick out easily she could have been under anyone of those trees and could change position while the monster looked for her until she was to safety.
Eleking's furry shot up like a rocket.
He immediately charged Max and didn't delay the assault whatsoever.
Fortunately with both hands now free, Max could fight to his full potential.
Eleking tried to headbutt Max but the Ultra grabbed the monster by the antennae like a matador grabbing a bull's horns.
He then turned the direction of Eleking's head away from his body and threw him onto his face.
However Eleking's tail then wrapped around Max pulling the Ultra down with him.
Once on the ground, Max karate chopped Eleking in the area where the shoulder met the neck making the monster loose it's grip easily.
Max hopped back onto his feet and grabbed Eleking by the tail.
He swung the monster round a few times before sending him crashing into a area of trees.
Eleking got up and once again fired his energy projectiles.
Max kept to dodging but it was getting trickier as Eleking was now being more merciless.
Eleking then swung his tail and immediatly went back to firing projectiles.
Max dodged the tail strike but the projectiles finally managed to hit him.
Eleking wrapped his tail around Max again.
Following that the monster shocked the Ultra.
Max struggled to free himself from the coils of the electric monster.
Soon despite the deadly shock Max managed to fight the monster's long limb off himself.
Following that Max's timer started flashing red while making a beeping noise. The sign that he didn't have much time left.
Eleking tried to wrap his tail around Max once more but the Ultra grabbed his Maximum sword again and threw it at the beast.
The tail cut off Eleking's tail and his Antennae.
The cut off limbs began to grow back but before they did Max lifted his left arm into the air that was powering up his next weapon, following that he moved his left arm down and placed his right arm at the end of his elbow making the L shaped pose, and finally fired his Maximum cannon.
Eleking unable to resist the powerful weapon, blew up.
Afterwards Max took off into space to refresh the timer.
Once that was over with he transformed back into Kaito.
He and Mizuki helped Whitney get back home after she thanked them for saving her life.
On the way they got to know each other better.
They told Whitney about their team and their history with kaiju while Whitney told them about the horrible marrage she was about to be thrown into. How she wanted to get out but Eric would continue to guilt her back into it.
She felt that this evening was a sign from God that he didn't approve of this at all.
"I'm still surprised you're going through with this." Mizuki said.
"So am I." Whitney replied softly. She felt like the tears would come out any time. "Could you two give me a second alone please?"
"Of course." Kaito replied. Both he and Mizuki knew it would probably be good for her.
Whitney walked a small distance away and then started letting the tears free.
After awhile Kaito heard Max's voice telling him to take out the Max Spark and hold it in front of himself.
Kaito did and then the object started levitating.
Max appeared human sized.
"I didn't know you could do that." Kaito said.
"I had no need for it up until now." Max said. "I wish to talk to that girl."
Max walked over to where Whitney was crying.
"Does my presents displease you?" He asked.
"Not at all." Whitney replied. "Truthfully I'm glad about it. You're the one I really need to thank."
"I'm very appreciative but saving the innocent is one thing we Ultras live for." Max replied.
He then walked over by her and placed his hand on her shoulder.
"I know how you feel Whitney." He said. "A woman as beautiful as you deserves a prince, not a creep."
"As much as I love to I can't get out of it." Whitney replied sadly.
"You know Eric may have very well gave you a home but that doesn't give him the right to decide your future for you." Max said. "You really have to stand up for what you want. Not what he wants but for what you want."
"I don't even know what I want." Whitney replied. "I don't know who I am for letting this happen."
"I feel a similar way Whitney." Max replied. "I'm sure you've heard about my former lover Ultrawoman. It's not just the fact that I loved her and that she's missing that I hate myself but it's for the fact that I don't know what happened to her."
"What do you mean?" Whitney asked.
"Well if I knew that she was dead then I could let her go and move on but the fact that I don't know what happened to her means that I'm always restless thinking about her." Max said. "Every passing day I hope for her to appear when I open my eyes but alas, she's never there."
He then looked down at Whitney and rubbed her neck.
"In quite a few ways you remind me of her." He said. "Elegant, gentle, and kindhearted."
"I know she didn't leave you Max." Whitney replied. "You're far too sweet."
Feeling that kissing her would be cheating on Ultrawoman if she still was alive, Max only embraced her.
For the first time in weeks, Whitney felt happy.
Max joined in escorting Whitney home.
"Well this is it." Whitney said upon arrival.
"Take care now Whitney." Mizuki said.
"Goodbye for now." Kaito added.
He and Mizuki began to walk away but Max added one last thing.
"Whitney, even if you don't know who you are I'm sure you can name what's good for you and what's not." He said. "When the time comes you'll know the right decision. I'm sure well meet again but for now sayanara."
Max then left with Kaito and Mizuki before returning to the Max Spark.
Whitney couldn't put her finger on it but she felt like although she just met him today she knew Max in person all her life.
