     After two hours of traveling, Max finally arrived at the city of Cincinnati. He stood on a cliff, overlooking the wide city while shifting back into his human form. There was a vibrant blue sky, with sparse, white fluffy clouds and the beautiful metropolis below. But it wasn't beautiful to Max. He could clearly see the corruption in Cincinnati. He remembered how they shot Harambe. How they killed him. Harambe was like a brother to Max... no... a father to Max. He wasn't going to let them get away with this.

    He crouched down and shifted back into Harambe's form. The weregorilla focused and thought hard, connecting to Harambe's spirit as best as he could. Harambe telepathically told him the location of the kid who fell in his exhibit. Max would strike him first.

    Max lunged from the top of the cliff onto a skyscraper, just like the legendary King Kong. He made his way down with great agility, careful not to make any noise or bring any attention to himself. So far, nobody noticed him as he crept down to where the kid was. He swung down with his toes gripping a frame above and smashed the window on the skyscraper before immediately climbing in. 

     The three year old suddenly turned and looked at Max, unable to do anything before Max plowed towards him. He had his thoughts intertwined with pure western lowland gorilla instinct and slammed the kid forcefully into the wall, leaving a dent. He did this repetitively for about 3 minutes. People in the office building called 911, and the authorities were alerted to the weregorilla's presence.

Meanwhile in the police department....

     "Sir, we've just got a report of a gorilla that looks an awful lot like Harambe." the 911 operator told the chief policeman.

     "By God... he's alive. I thought I could stop him." The chief policeman sat down and held his head in his hands.

      "Sir?"

      "Send the SWAT team. And tell them they need backups. We need this gorilla dead. He's a threat to national security."

     "Yes sir."

     Max could tell that his time was running out, so he grabbed the toddler, ran to the fish tank and plunged him into the water once more. He then bolted and jumped out the window. Time to take out that sniper.

     He swung through power lines like a gorilla on vines, and made his way to the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden. Max broke through the gate forcefully using his gorilla strength, and instantly began to run. The SWAT had already arrived and attempted to shoot him, but using his supergorilla speed he was able to dodge the bullets. Not even the most skilled snipers could take Max down while he was on the move.

     Max made his way into the staff room, and then looked the sniper dead in the eyes.

     'Kill him.' Harambe echoed in his mind

     The weregorilla then forcefully grabbed his sniper rifle and snapped it in half, before rapidly jamming his fist right into the sniper's face. He called out for mercy, but in Max, there was no more mercy anymore. There was only Harambe.

     Max began to grow fatigued. His time in Harambe's form was running out. He shapeshifted back into a human on top of the sniper's cold body, and then suddenly...

     BAM!

     Max fell on top of the lifeless villain. The weregorilla felt unbearable pain as the bullet was hidden in his spleen. Another BAM!, going through his cranium, and he was instantaneously killed. Max shut his eyes for the last time.
