As it turned dark, Max made 20 shadow clones and sent them away for patrolling. As his real body made his way towards Selena's room.
He entered and looked at the sleeping beauty. Her dark hair combined with her doll like face, he could've sworn that sometimes she looked like Bailey Madison in her teens. He went close to her ears and whispered, "You awake, Sel--"
He wasn't able to finish his words as she turned and sealed his lips with hers. After a long kiss they separated, while separating, Selena bit his lips a little bit and said, "That's for hanging out with the new girl as soon as you came home."
Max just rubbed his lips and said, "I have planned a special date to make it up to you." He was smiling as he said this.
Selena looked at his smile with curiosity and asked, "What are you thinking, you big bad wolf?"
Max said with a grin, "Close your eyes, little rabbit. Don't open it till I tell you to."
Selene liked where this was going. As she closed her eyes. Max gently lifted her in princess carry as he took her out of the house.
Selena felt that she came out of the house. Even though her eyes were closed, she was a special Alpha and was able to sense her surroundings. She asked him, "Can I open them now?"
Max just said, "Not just yet. Give me a minute." and slowly took off into the sky.
Selena felt wind blowing all around her, and she couldn't sense where she was. She was sure that Max was up to something. At this time Max's voice came in, "You can open them now."
As soon as she opened her eyes, she was shocked and surprised. Because she was in the middle of the forest, they were not in the land but flying in the air. She watched the night sky filled with stars and with no lights in the land. She could only hear insects chirping here and there. She turned to ask Max, "How did--"
But this time Max didn't let her finish as he sealed her lips with his. After a long time they separated to take a breath. At this time Selena asked, "How..... did you.... do this?" As she gasped in-between.
Max smiled at her and said, "Some tricks I learned from witches in New Orleans." He lied easily. He couldn't tell his secret to anyone, not even Selena.
Selene who blindly trusts Max just believed him and asked the thing which was bothering her, "Well, about the new girl. You know, that Divina. What do you think of her?"
Max hearing this smiled at her, "Are you jealous, little rabbit?"
Selene just looked at his smile and knew he was playing with her, so she seriously said, "I'm not jealous of a girl who just came in yesterday. I'm just little wary around witches."
Max just said, "Well, you don't have to worry about that around her. She can learn here. I'm planning to introduce her to doc. She can learn from him."
Selena hearing this nodded. Max looked at her and said playfully, "Are you sure that you're not wary of her because she might steal me away from you?"
Selena looked at Max and she smiled at him and said, "Oh, she can try. If she's really able to steal you away, I'll just cut off your third leg before you reach her."
Max shivered heading his and analysed his situation again, and decided to keep a certain distance from Divina. Selene looked at Max as he was thinking and decided to do her thing, "And this is for not coming here all these days." as she said this, she started to kiss him.
Max came back to his senses and kissed back hugged and tighter and tighter, and Selena started to remove his shirt.
But at this time a sharp bone like thing was headed straight to Max's head. Max's senses kicked in and he dodged it.
Max was pissed at this time. He met his girlfriend after months of septation and as he was about to get some compensation for all these days, and someone had to come and break his plans up.
He look at the direction where the bone dagger came from and saw a berserker standing there beside a tree.
He just charged a ki ball and sent to its face. But surprisingly that berserker blocked his ki ball by sacrificing both of its hand as it cover its face.
Max was shocked by this development. He knew that berserkers were almost brainless, but this berserk blocking his ki ball was way out of his expectation. He sent two more powerful ki balls aimed at the berserker's torso and its face. This time though the berserker was not so lucky, as it got pulverised.
Max landed with Selena and decided to check what's going on. As he came close to the place where the berserker was standing he saw a carving in the tree. It said, 'Hope you like my present.'
As soon as Max finished reading this, the nearby Earth started trembling, as berserkers popped up one by one from the surrounding ground. He knew that this was a trap so he made his way close to Selena and stood by her.
Selena watching this went into half-wolf more and opened her claws. Max was confident taking on a dozens of these berserkers, but here it looks like there are at least 100 of them are there surrounding them. He knew if he fought them head on he'll not be able to take care of Selena, and with Selena's strength it was impossible for her to live through this. So he decided to play it smart.
He took Selena's waist and flew high to the sky. He undid the shadow clone jutsu with were patrolling around the town. After that he made 30 Shadow clones from there sky as they all charged up their ki and started blasting the berserkers.
The berserkers weren't standing still, they launched their bone daggers at Max's clones. Max's clones were able to take out 45 berserkers by the time they were all dead. All this fatigue came back to Max. But he was way stronger than he used to be, so he didn't feel much.
But the problem now was still there. At this time Selena spoke, "Let's go back and get the others."
Max shook his head and said, "No, we can't. If these guys reach town then there'll be chaos."
Max decided to use one final trick. He flew in one direction as all the berserkers followed him. After putting a 100 meters distance between him and the berserkers, he landed on the ground and turned towards the charging berserkers as he told Selena, "Stay behind me."
Selena was still worried about Max, but still she nodded. Max decided (It's now or never) then he held his both hands forward as he stated, "KAAAAAAAAAA.....
....
MEEEEEEE..."
And he brought both his hands to the right side of his waist as a glowing ball of energy gathered and started to compress, "HAAAAAAAAA.....
....
MEEEEEEE...."
The energy ball turned blue by the raw power it held. And he suddenly sprung his hands forward, "HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!"
As he shouted, that blue energy wave travelled starting from his hands towards the berserkers. The energy wave decimated everything in its path.
After half a minute Max stopped, by the time he was done, there was no berserkers or and trees and plants in sight.
He was sweating profusely thinking he couldn't sense these berserkers. So Max kept two fingers on his forehead and focused to see if Jackson was anywhere nearby. But he didn't sense anyone else nearby. He didn't know what Jackson was using to hide from his senses. He was sure that Jackson was in town, but he wasn't able to sense him anywhere.
At this moment, Selena came from the side, "Are you okay, Max?"
Max nodded towards her and said, "I'm just a little tired. Other than that I'm fine."
Selena smiled at him and said, "I got just the thing to boost you up. Let's go home, I don't think this spot is good."
Max smiled knowing what she planned and took her waist and started flying as they started kissing in mid-flight while they were headed to their home.
As soon as they left, a guy came out from the ground and looked at the direction they were flying and muttered, "You still lose, Maxwell."
