You thought Sage's attitude would be worse, but watch how it plays out at home and how Mako is so frustrated with Sage's attitude going up the ante.
Chapter 2: Dealing with Sage
Sage and his crew were heading back to the house and when they got there, they saw a very serious Mako standing in front of them with his arms crossed and Yow-Ni looked at it as trouble and he said, "What's going on?"
"Tigress came here a few minutes ago and said that Sage was causing them a lot of trouble. Is that true?" asked Mako, looking directly at Sage.
Sage walked in front of him and he looked at Mako and he said, "These girls obviously have no regard for keeping their (bleep)ing mouths shut."
"Watch your language here!" Mako exclaimed, pointing at him.
Sage growls at him for that and he said, "I'm almost 18. You know very damn well that you can't tell me what I can or can't do."
"As long as you live in this house, you can and will do everything I say." Mako said, very angrily.
"The hell with that bull(bleep)!" Sage snarled.
Mako could tell that Sage's attitude is getting more hardcore by the minute and that his independent persona is getting a lot worse from there and he said, "You know you're gonna be grounded for 3 months, right?"
"Grounded?! For what?" asked Sage.
"Talking back. And I'll add in another two months for disrespecting Tigress and Viper and some other young girls as well as involving in a streetfight." Mako added.
That seemed to set him off that Mako actually knows about that streetfighting involvement earlier today and he asked, "Who told you that?"
"Someone who had just witnessed it. I thought I told you your days as a streetfighter are over." Mako added.
"Can you get the idea that this is (bleep)ing boring?! I gotta have something to do! I don't know anything else other than streetfighting! It's what I'm (bleep)ing good at!" Sage exclaimed.
"You could get a job!" Mako shouted.
"A job?! Doing nothing is a job...and that's one I'm very good at." Sage exclaimed.
Mako knew that he wasn't gonna let Sage win this argument and he said, "Sage, because of that attitude, you're grounded for 2 months."
"2 months?! I'm not a kid anymore!" Sage shouted.
"Get to your room right now!" Mako shouted back.
Sage felt a huge surge of anger and mini-rage building inside of him, but eventually stormed in his room and stomped all the way up the stairs until he heads to his room with a slam on the door while the others walked back inside as well, leaving a very exhausted Mako standing there and just felt like he's almost losing control of Sage and he's tired of arguing with him over everything that occurs between them.
"What am I gonna do with this kid?" asked Sage.
For the first time...Mako has reached his limit and feels like he's losing control of his adopted kids...and he already has 50+! What's he gonna do?
