Max, without asking, made himself at home by feeding himself to the recharging station by the garage door. Unbuttoning his jacket he attached the cord through his core and sighed onto a toolbox.
"Look guys." Digit stood up against Max. "Even though I've been up for a coupla' hours, and I don't know how long you guys have known him-"
"Long enough to not grown accustomed to; I'm surprised myself", Inez folded her arms, grimacing.
"No no no, guys...you should really cut him some slack." Digit shook his head. "I know he's a hardheaded kid. But trust me, he has some good in him. And now, it look like he need us more than ever."
Max protested, "I do not-"
"Save your breath, kid." Digit said. "Doc told me all about you." Max's eye widen, then his teeth gritted.
"So brother, mind spilling out the secrets? I would really like to know what's been eatin' you all these years. Why you had warned us of coming back, telling us to stay away...when, you actually needed our help?" Matt folded his arms.
"I don't understand, you claim to have a part of Matt's DNA, which means you're part human. What's so bad about that?" Inez said. Max's glare solidified at the mortal. He eventually got up, with a struggle, as he made his way to a microchip projector.
With caution, he reached into his side and took a chip; a piece of his memory, and inserted it into the projector. He slide back down to the recharging station, shutting his eyes.
"This, is a piece of what Doc left me. This has been very recent." Max admitted. Slyder had folded his arms as he leaned on the table besides Jackie.

"Dr. Terabyte is indeed a good friend of ours, Max." Doc said as he began to work on the old Digit. Max sat far from him, wearing a white suit.
"You don't have to sweet talk me into helping you with whatever." Max stated.
"Of course. I just have to give you a few things before we go. When you have the chance to see him, promise that he and...your brother, will get along?" Doc asked.
"I don't understand yet nor doubt my words will do any good." Max said.
"Dear Maximus, it's the effort that counts. You are pure good on the inside. Yet you just haven't realize it yet." Doc stated. "Come here, over here while Digit is settling into hibernation."
Max walked over to the Doc where he has a few belongings left on the table before them. Doc steadily began packing them in the bag.
"Your, father, told me great things about you. He said you were his perfect creation; the absolute clone of Matt and I couldn't believe it. Until I had actually seen you. And now I see more of why than you do yourself. One day Max, you'll realize that you are also imperfect and similar in many more ways." Doc said as his hand rested on his shoulders. Max listened.
"Are you saying that I have human qualities?" Max asked.
"I do want to believe that Max. Maybe so. But so be the case..." Doc's thought traced, "I have some important things to tell you."
"I'm giving you an implied vision of the future. At some given time, there will be an altercation between you and someone later. He, along with his friends are going to be very important people to keep with on your journey. You will not like them, because of who you are. But over time, these emotions will soon soothed and you will be accustomed by their ways. He, will also make rash decisions, and later on there will be a final choice he may decide, and you can choose of whether of not of interfering. Now I'm not stating death is the final wish, but might be some complicated twists in the near future, possibly." Doc explained. "I'm saying, you and him are joined together in more ways than you think."
Max did not choose to speak his mind, but absorb more of the Doctor's words.
"As I give you these watches," As Doc packed the watches, and a floppy disk, holding up for Max to see, "And this."
"No..." Matt's words slipped from his lips as he began to realize. Max did not respond.
"...And at the right moment, you will give these to Him. They are very important." Doc said. "And also, in the near future there might be a possibility your closest ally will later betray you. So I would carefully observe his steps as well."
Max stared at the Doctor, "How do you know so much about the earthlings? About us? About..."
Doc shook his head, "Time has been very long for me here. And I know so much that my brain has built itself now to create implied visions of the future, because it has an intelligence level to know that actually seeing the future is very absurd. Trust me, it is quite complicated Maximus."
Doc handed the bag to Max.
"You five will save our worlds; that's a fact." Doc assured. He strapped Digit in the back of his ship as he got ready to leave. Max stood there in his lab as the memory began to fade and the movie began to blacken.

Max got up to eject the microchip.
"And so, that sums up everything, and I mean, everything to this very moment. Of supposedly why I'm like this, why I've done the things I've did, and the sole fact that Matt did not actually dream and came back to Cyberspace-"
"You handed them to me without me even knowing?" Matt clutched his head at trying to grasp the thought. "I...can't believe Doc..."
"Doc was very smart-"
"NO! This is stupid!" Matt exploded. "All of that? Everything that has been planned for the past four years? Everything you've done was a big plan to ...to...I knew it. I knew it all along. Why not just do it now huh?"
Max stepped forward, "Do not jump conclusions, brother."
"DON'T YOU BROTHER ME. YOU'RE AS WORSE AS MY FATHER." Matt shoved the android. Slyder stood between them telling Matt to cool down. Max grimaced.
"W-what's the matter?" Digit stared back and forth between the two bickering brothers. Inez was frantically pacing until she stared at Matt and recalled old, yet slightly bitter memories.
"How long...were you?" Inez stepped back from Matt as he tensed. His glance averted to Inez direction as the slow truth was revealed. Jackie sat back, confused by the situation; almost overwhelmed that her best friends knew something that she didn't. She couldn't grasp the fact, and for some reason, a tear fell from her eye and she then realized.
And when the tear fell, Max blinked as he stared back at Jackie, and saw that she knew that moment when the tear fell, it was announced silently that everyone knew Matt's secret. Digit stood back, then touched Jackie's knee and hope of comforting the old friend of his. Inez stood back as she placed a hand on the side of her face. Slyder's metallic hand felt limp instantly, as his whole body felt no longer part of him.
Matt shrugged Max's grip on his shoulder as he walked off.
"You don't even have to look to the Bin to know what my fate is. When Max handed me the watches, I was destined to die as I decided the fate of our worlds." Matt announced bitterly.
