And Mako finds out what had happened with the confrontation between Max and Tigress...
Chapter 16: Asking Mako
Minutes later, Samurai, Phoenix, Arizona and Max made their way back home and Arizona took a deep sigh after looking at Max's clawed face and he said, "I'm sorry that this happened, buddy."
"Don't worry about it. None of us expected it anyway." Max replied.
Samurai sighed heavily at this and he turned to Max and said, "I don't think Tigress is truly sorry about what she did to you today. She didn't even come and apologize to you. That's really messed up."
"And the worst thing...how do we explain this to dad?" asked Phoenix.
"Explain what to dad?"
Sure enough, they saw their dad standing on the fence and it was like an explosion coming out their minds the minute he looked at them and they were really nervous as to what they just said and Samurai said, "Explain that...we're just in time for dinner."
"Dinner doesn't start until tonight." Mako said, raising an eyebrow.
"Oh...then we must've gotten there early." Phoenix said, chuckling nervously.
Mako noticed that there were covering Max's face for something he stepped in to get a closer look at what they're hiding and he got in front of the boys and asked Max to come here and when he obliged, he was stunned to see the claw marks on his face and his jaw dropped to the ground and asked, "What happened?"
"Tigress clawed him." Arizona replied.
That pretty much stunned Mako to know that it was Tigress' work and he wasn't so surprised that it was her doing and he lets out a deep sigh and said, "What did she do?"
"Well...Max was training with her and we thought that it would be enough to prove that they're cool with each other, but Tigress lost the sparring match and as a result, she yelled at him and clawed him in the face out of frustration." Samurai said.
"We were trying to get an answer as to why she would do that, but she said that she wished death on him." Phoenix said.
Arizona's jaw was dropped and he couldn't believe that Tigress would say those kinds of things to him despite not being there to witness it and he said, "I gotta keep an eye on you more."
"I think we all should keep an eye on her." Samurai added.
Mako sighed heavily at this and he said to Max, "I'm so sorry that this happened to you, buddy."
"It's okay, dad. It's not your fault. It's no one's fault." Max stated.
Mako smiled at this and rubs his shoulder for that and he replied, "Thanks."
"Dad...do you think you can talk to Tigress? Maybe help her out by ending this rivalry again?" asked Max.
Mako didn't even give it a second thought and he said, "I'll do whatever I can."
Mako's gonna talk to Tigress soon! What's it gonna be like? You'll have to find out!
