Max Adventures: Elemental Guardians Episode 1: Crashing The Party

Chapter 9: Apachi the Mage

BOOM! A loud blast came from the lighthouse. Everyone at the party heard it and turn their heads to it surprised and confused. Max and Leena turned away from eachother and to the sound.

"WAAAAAH!" Twitch got thrown from the powerful shadow blast and hit the sandy ground. "TWITCH!" Max said panicked and scared when he saw his friend and he ran over to him with Leena behind him.

"Twitch!" Spike said with food in his mouth before he swallowed it and ran to his friend worried with Tazer and Zinti following the hedgehog. Twitch was on his back all dazed. Max got on his knees and lifted the chameleon up a bit with his hand supporting Twitch's back. "Twitch are you ok?!" Max asked worried for his best friend as their friends gathered around eachother.

"Yeah I'm fine. Covered in purple stuff but fine" Twitch said dizzy but that last part got him confused looks from his friends. Max then realized something. Twitch was covered in purple stuff. They looked like purple shadows, most of it fading away.

"Hey Twitch. Why are you covered in Shadow magic?" Max asked confused and a little worried. Something told him that this was no swim from the beach.

"From me" a voice answered but it wasn't from Twitch. Everyone turned around and looked up to see the voice coming from the wolf pup who was floating with the magic book in his right hand. He had this smirk on his face.

Max stood up, taking his lion staff out and ready, glaring at this sudden new vistor. He could feel a dark energy from this stranger. Leena glared at the opponent as she pressed a button on her wrist com and it switched her blue dress with her usaul clothes so she could fight more easily. She took her bow and arrows out and had her aim ready.

"A party huh? Am I crashing it? Sorry. I'm just here for something and now that I found it, I'll be going now" the wolf pup said casually, eyeing the party scene in front of him that stopped at his arrival.

"Who are you?! Why did you attack my friend?" Max asked angrily, clenching his staff. Twitch stood up with help from Spike and Tazer approached the intruder with his sword out and ready.

"The name's Apachi. I am a mage. And honestly your friend should be happy he's alive" he said mockingly as Twitch made eye contact with him. "If he hadn't stuck around the moment he found me instead of telling anyone, I probably would've made him into nothing but a bunch of scales" Apachi explained and Max looked at his friend surprised.

"Twitch you saw him already? Before he caught you?" Max asked looking at him. Twitch looked down, now wishing that he did went to Max the moment he found Apachi. "Yeah" he said as he turn yellow, feeling guilty.

"Twitch why didn't you..?" Max asked but Apachi then spotted the lion amulet around his neck. His eyes widen for a moment in surprise. But then he got angry, his teeth clenching. "You. You're a member of the Royal Lion Family aren't you? You're Max!" Apachi said furious as his hand conjured up a shadow fireball and he threw it at the lion.

Leena saw it and her eyes widen, realizing its target. "Max watch out!" She yelled and Max turn to face the incoming shadow move but he had no time to shield the move. His eyes widen, expecting the move to hit him hard but a powerful water blast came from the left and smashed into the shadow blast, stopping it and it sprinkled onto the sand.

Apachi stared at this, dumbfounded. Max turn to the left and saw Khan with his trident out, it was glowing blue energy which meant he was the one who saved Max from getting water blasted.

Khan nodded to Max and Max nodded back him. Apachi growled in fustration as he turned the page on the book, looking for a new spell quickly.

Twitch quickly remembered about the book. "Max! Earlier in the library, he tooked out a book from it. I think it had something important!" He told him urgently.

Apachi found a spell and conjured up a shadow fireball in his hand and threw on the ground.

The shadow fireball split into more than one and the fireballs formed into shadow monsters. Everyone on the island scattered and ran but Max and his friends ran up and stood their ground.

"Ok. Guys! Lets defend the beash and get that book!" "Ok!" Max said and his friends replied back. Max and his friends rushed and scattered into the battle and faced their new opponent.
