Hisui thinks to himself: “It’s been a week now; I should really talk to her about Max”
He knocks on the door.
Mystery, quietly: “Come in”
Hisui opens the door and sees that Mystery is sitting on her bed, she’s not looking directly at him but he can see the sadness in her face. Hisui walks to her and sits down.
Hisui: “Are you ok?”
Mystery shakes her head: “No”
Hisui: “What’s on your mind?”
Mystery: “Just memories, it just surprises me that Alexa is the one that made him do all those terrible things, now it all kind of makes sense”
Hisui: “He really changed that much? (Mystery gives him an angry look) I mean, I didn’t really know the guy and how close you two were”
Mystery looks sad again: “Well, I guess I never really told you how close we were”
Cut to a flashback of Max and Mystery when they were just kids. They are in an empty park and Mystery is on the ground crying.
Max runs to her: “What’s wrong Misty?”
Mystery: “I fell and now I have a bruise on my knee”
Max looks at her left knee, there’s a small bruise on it. Max then grabs a band aid from his pocket, and puts it on her bruise.
Mystery: “Why do you always carry those around all the time?”
Max smiles: “Just in case something happens to you of course, something always happens anyways, you should be more careful, I don’t want anything real bad happening to you”
Max then messes up her hair and she slaps his hand away, they both laugh and hug.
Mystery’s voice: “He always thought of my safety, even over his own”
Cut to Mystery, still small getting bullied by an older boy with long red hair, around Max’s age. The boy pushes Mystery to the ground. The boy suddenly falls over; Mystery looks behind her and sees Max standing over the boy.
Max: “Why did you just do that to my little sister?”
The boy rolls over to see Max: “Because it was easy, and I could do it”
Max looks at him angrily and kicks him in the gut hard enough to send him flying a few feet away. The boy coughs up blood.
Boy: “You’ll pay for that!”
Max laughs a little: “Make sure it doesn’t happen again and that I don’t see your face again. People like you sicken me”
Max then runs to Mystery and helps her up: “You ok?”
Mystery: “Yeah, I’m ok”
Max smiles and hugs her.
Mystery’s voice: “His good kind heart didn’t go unnoticed”
Cut to Max and Mystery, still young, they are both on their houses rooftop watching the sun set.
Mystery: “So what did father want to tell you?”
Max grins and looks at her: “Well, I guess people have been noticing that I am a good person and that I am a very strong half dragon for my age”
Mystery: “Well, I know you are a good person, but I haven’t seen your dragon skills”
Max smiles: “Well, I guess I’ll just have to show you some time now won’t I? Father and Mother want me to start training you”
Mystery smiles: “Really?”
Max nods: “And another thing father told me, I’m going to rule this place, after he gets too old to rule it”
Mystery: “Really? That seems to be a lot of responsibility, you sure you can handle it?”
Max smiles: “I’m sure I can, it’s not going to be any time soon, but I doubt ill change that much. I’ll probably still be the good carefree person I am today, but I’ll be stronger then I am now”
Max then looks at the sun setting; Mystery just looks up at him smiling.
Max: “If father can handle it, then I bet I can too. I’ll make everyone proud”
Mystery’s voice: “He always had a smile on his face, and over our training, we got even closer”
Cut to Max and Mystery in an empty field training.
Max: “Ok, all you do is bring your hands cupped together to your chin (Cups his hands together to his chin) and put your right pointer finger over your mouth. (Puts his right pointer finger over his mouth) Like this”
A black cloud like wave starts to cover his whole body, he quickly moves his hands away from his mouth and the cloud moves away from him and disappears.
Mystery does the motions correctly: “Like this?”
Max nods and Mystery notices a purple cloud like wave starting to cover her body, and she makes it disappear also.
Max runs to her and gives her a hug: “You’re a fast learner”
Boy’s Voice: “Hey! (They both turn to see the same bully with long red hair from before) Remember me?”
Max sets Mystery down: “How could I forget”
Boy pulls out a dagger from his pants side bag: “Now it’s time for revenge!”
Mystery turns to Max, scared: “What are we going to do?”
Max: “I didn’t bring my sword with me, but I’m still strong without it, just stay out of the way so you won’t get hurt”
Mystery nods and runs a few feet away from Max. The boy then runs at Max with his dagger, Max dodges him and kicks his leg so he hits the ground hard. The boy drops his dagger, and Max picks it up.
Max stands beside the boy: “You know you can’t defeat me, you know who I am”
The boy sits up and frowns.
Max turns his back to the boy: “Now get the hell away from us!”
Boy looks at Mystery: “You know, you’re not my target”
The boy then gets up and runs at Mystery with another dagger from his pants leg. Max quickly turns to see him and quickly cups his hands together to his chin and puts his right pointer finger over his mouth. The black cloud like wave covers him and starts racing at the boy forming a large mouth and glowing red eyes, and roars at the boy. Mystery stands in shock as the boy gets closer and closer to her. About a foot away from Mystery, the black cloud tackles him to the ground. The cloud then solidifies into the Skull Dragon, Max’s dragon form, he has the boy in his mouth. Max opens his mouth wide and bites down hard but the boy manages to escape. He then gets up on all fours and lunges at the boy, but the he is too small for Max and he loses track of him. Max swings his massive head searching for him, and spots him a few hundred feet away.
Boy raises his dagger at Max: “I will get you some day, even if you don’t know it was me!”
The boy then runs away into the nearby forest. Max bellows a fearsome roar as the boy disappears, his roar echoes, and then he suddenly turns into smoke. Right where the dragon stood, Max in his human form now stands, then falls to his knees. Mystery stands still in shock staring at Max, his eyes are closed but he opens them revealing his red sharp pupil turning back to his regular eyes. He then gets up and walks to Mystery to make sure she’s ok.
Max notices her shock and frowns: “I don’t really like doing that, so it may be the only time you see me like that, unless he or someone else tries to harm you again”
Mystery’s voice: “Everything after that was great, until…”
Cut to Mystery and her parents sitting at the kitchen table.
Mystery: “Where’s Max?”
Tira: “He should be coming here soon with his girlfriend”
They hear the door open and close, Max then walks into the kitchen.
Max: “Mother, Father, Misty, this is Alexa”
Alexa walks next to Max and smiles: “Hello everyone”
Cut to the family and Alexa eating and laughing.
Cut to the present, Mystery’s eyes are watering.
Mystery: “That bitch took my brother away. He became distant after that night, not seeing him in months was too much. He was more than a brother to me; he was my best friend also”
Hisui: “I’m sorry, we will do something, anything to get him back somehow”
Mystery leans her head on Hisui’s shoulder: “Seeing him after he wasn’t possessed again, I saw it in his eyes that it was my real brother again”
Flash of Max whispering to Mystery.
Mystery then sits straight up.
Hisui: “What is it?”
Mystery turns to him: “The thing that Max whispered to me”
Hisui: “Oh that’s right, I almost forgot about that”
Mystery: “He told me something that Chain needs to know (Hisui looks at her confused) it’s about Drago”
