"Yeah, but I was mainly holding back if I wanted to, I could destroy this ship, but you know I didn't want to kill everybody on it."
The team exchanges glances, realizing the true extent of Max's power. They had seen him hold back, using just enough force to neutralize the threat without causing mass destruction. Invincible/Marcy nods approvingly. "You showed restraint when you could have leveled this entire planet," she says quietly.
As the ship lifts off and begins its journey back to Earth, the team settles into their seats, exhausted but relieved. The Martian ships are surprisingly comfortable, with plush seats and advanced technology that makes the journey smooth and quiet. After a while, Atom eve breaks the silence. "Hey Max,"
"Yes, Eve."
"Every time I think I've seen the full extent of your powers, you surprise me again. That mental domain of yours... it was terrifying. And the way you handled those sequids without killing anyone..." She pauses, looking at him thoughtfully. "You're incredibly powerful, but also strangely merciful."
"Well, what would you expect from your boyfriend?"
Eve and Marcy both smile, exchanging amused glances. "True enough," Marcy chuckles. Eve leans over and gently kisses Max's cheek. "My powerful, merciful boyfriend," she whispers with a soft smile. War Woman rolls her eyes playfully from across the aisle, "Get a room you two."
The rest of the journey back to Earth is indeed peaceful. The team relaxes, chatting softly among themselves or catching up on sleep. Max sits between Eve and Marcy, occasionally holding their hands or sharing quiet moments with them. As they approach Earth's atmosphere, the ship begins its descent smoothly.
they land smoothly as they walk into the base, Donald is standing there with a grim explosion on his face. " something happened, didn't it?"
Donald's expression is indeed grave, his usual cheerful demeanor replaced by worry lines. "I'm glad you're all okay," he says, looking relieved as they approach. "But yeah, something's happened while you were gone. I was waiting to tell you until you got back safely."
Donald explains the situation quickly, his voice tense. "The Lizard League launched a massive attack on one of our missile silos while you guys were off-world. The remaining Guardians rushed to stop them - Rae, Rex, Throwbolt, and Duplicate. They managed to prevent a disaster, but Rae's broken every bone in her body. Rex was shot in the head, lost an arm, and is in critical condition. Throwbolt has both arms broken and multiple internal injuries. Duplicate... well, she's the worst off." Donald pauses, his expression grim. "Her entire body is severely damaged."
"I've had our medics working on them non-stop, but their injuries are beyond anything we've ever seen. Rae might heal eventually, but the others... I'm not sure if they'll pull through." Donald looks at Max and the team, desperation creeping into his voice."I've had our medics working on them non-stop, but their injuries are beyond anything we've ever seen. Rae might heal eventually, but the others... I'm not sure if they'll pull through." Donald looks at Max and the team, desperation creeping into his voice.
"I'll go handle it." He said going into the surgery room where they were working on Rex going over to his body he used reverse curse technique to completely heal him. He then went on to do the same for the others.
The surgeons step back in shock as Max works, his reverse curse technique healing impossible injuries in minutes. Rae's broken bones knit back together, Throwbolt's internal bleeding stops, and Duplicate's severely damaged body becomes whole again. By the time Max finishes, all four Guardians are completely healed.
"Come on Victoria, Amanda, Eve, Marcy time to go home."
The women nod, following Max out of the surgery room. As they exit the base, they find Donald waiting for them, relief etched on his face. "Max... thank you," he says quietly. "You saved their lives." He pauses, then continues, "And please, take some time off. You've earned it."
Max grabs the four girls and teleports back to their island.The group of powerful women welcome Max and the others back with warm smiles and hugs. Debbie, Boa, Nico, Nami, Alvida, Tsunade, and Kaguya all greet them enthusiastically. "We heard what happened," Debbie says softly, hugging Max tightly.
"We heard about the Guardians' injuries," Nico Robin explains, her voice gentle as she embraces Max. "Donald called us, worried sick. We've been waiting for you to get back." Boa Hancock nods, her expression serious. "You healed them completely, didn't you? Your power grows more impressive every day, my king." The other women murmur in agreement.
"Yeah, I did."
"Of course you did," Tsunade chuckles, patting Max's shoulder. "You always come through for us, even when the stakes are highest." Kaguya smiles softly, adding, "You deserve some rest. You've been through a lot lately." The other women nod in agreement.
"yeah." He said, leaving a device on the kitchen table. " I'll be my lab working on something if you need me press that button and I'll be right back." He said, opening a portal and stepping through as it closes behind him.
The women watch as Max disappears through the portal, concern and admiration clear on their faces. They know better than to disturb him when he's working. Debbie picks up the device he left behind, examining it curiously. "What do you think he's working on this time?"
Max's laboratory is a marvel of advanced technology and magical artifacts. Floating holographic screens display complex equations and diagrams, while strange machines hum softly in the background. Rows of mysterious potions line the shelves, and powerful artifacts glow faintly in their display cases. Max moves gracefully among it all.
" time for me to go on a new adventure I wonder which universe I should go to." he said, thinking about the various universe he could go to.
" I could go to the Dragon Ball universe, learn Kai, and instant transmission that would definitely upgrade teleportation ability." with that thought in his mind, he opened a portal going to the Dragon Ball universe.
