Max couldn't help but laugh a bit as the skateboard shop owner greeted him with such joy only to be shut down by the now haggling Kyle. Max listened silently as the old clerk and his new friend argued over the price of the new board and even though Max was a bit miffed that Kyle said that the boards were bad quality. Max loved the boards that the old man sold him because they in fact were great quality. Once the board was sold, Max scooped it up and waved at the old geezer with a smile.

"Don't worry old timer, I'll be back and next time I'll be buying in bulk! I love your boards."

Once both Max and Kyle walked outside, Max threw the board to the ground and hopped on and kicked off and started moving as the pair walked away from the street as Kyle asked what they should eat. In all honesty, Max truly wasn't listening, instead the young hunter was thinking about when he had almost used his aura devastation cannons on his friend and everyone in the training area. As he thought about it, Max quickly fished out his scroll and quickly pulled out a video before skating closer to Kyle and passing him the electronic device and hitting play.

As the video started, it appeared that Max and a group of villagers were outside a small town on the outskirts of Rift on the outside of a forest. As the video played, the villagers were all freaking out while a large man and a small woman were trying to keep everyone back as Max who seemed to be about two years younger then he was now stepped forward. A large group of Barghest, at least 100 strong were charging out of the woods. As they got closer, Max held his arms out with his pistols in hand as a familiar set of aura wrist and ankle cuffs appeared. The young hunter soon spread out his limbs and snapped the cuffs which caused the young boys aura to explode so large it caused a small crater where he was standing as he screamed an almost agonizing scream as his aura was released and seemed to momentarily take the shape of a large pheniox as it exploded. Max then transformed his pistols into his devistation cannons which quickly charged and once they went off, nothing in front of them remained. Once they were done, no grim, trees or wild life remained. All that was left was a deep and smooth dirt floor as Max passed out. It seemed the video was taken from an airship flying from above. Once the video cut off Max snatched back his scroll.

"That's what would have happened if I had fired on you. That's my burden."

The young hunter then went silent for a moment as he just turned the corner and headed for a in door grill type restaurant for greasy food.

"We'll eat here."

Kyle Alodis

Max couldn't help but blush in embarrasment as his friend looked rather amazed at the power that he held within him. Max didn't really see that kind of destructive power as a gift but more of a curse because if he lost control he could end up being one of the more destructive beings around stronger then even a nevermore. When Kyle asked how powerful his cannons were now, Max just looked down at his hands which were currently shaking a bit as his aura seemed to give off small sparks for a moment. The young hunter waited until they reached the entrance to the diner before he hopped off his board.

"You know those giant bird like Grim the Krahe, the ones that are decendents of the Nevermore of old? They are strong enough to wipe out one of those giant winged bastards in a single blow."

Once he finished explaining, Max stopped his foot on the bottom of his new board causing it to flip into the air and into the skateboard harness with no effort at all as if Max had measured the distance and the force needed as if he was still standing on his beloved board. He then followed Kyle inside the grill restraunt and followed him as they were seated. Before Max took his seat at the booth he took off his satchel bag and his skateboard harness to show for the first time how Skinny the boy was and how as a result how tight his suit was which caused their human waitress to turn her head in interest as she wrote down Kyle's order though Max didn't seem to notice or care.

"I'll have a basket of chilly cheese fries and an ice cold Coke please and since I'm buying I'll have a mint pina colata smoothie to go later if ya don't mind."

Once the girl walked away, Max could hear her whispering over to one of her friends, a female cat Faunus about two cute boys that she was waiting on and even gave a small point to the rather stoic looking boy in the tight suit and the rather bored looking boy with the white hair. Both girls seemed to be a year or two older then them but looked interested but Max could honestly care less. If they offered their scroll numbers, Max would just give both to his friend because Max had his Ushi and that's all he wanted and needed.

"So where do you wanna go next? I have no where to be so I have time."

Max couldn't help but grin to himself as a cat faunus put their food down on the table. The young hunter then listened silently as his friend tried quite well to spit some fresh "game" at the pretty waitress but seemed to fumble. As Kyle shot him a silent glare for help, Max just picked up a chilli and cheese french fry and stuck it into his mouth so that he didn't look suspicious. As the young girl turned to prepare to walk away, Max just silently and swiftly pushed his skateboard under one of the girls feet just a bit so that she would lose her balance. As she tried to catch herself, Max turned his board with his heel so as the girl fell, she would fall safely into Kyle's arms making him look like the hero of the day. Max then scooted his board under the table so that he wouldn't be caught.

"Oh no! Are you okay miss? Good job catching her Kyle! You're a hero!"

Max just phoned in his fake concern but made it just believable enough to where no one would really catch on. Max just smirked and used his left hand to scoop up the salt shaker to sprinkle salt on his fries before putting it back and grabbing his soda cup and looking toward Kyle and the waitress as he took a sip. He then smiled at Kyle and decided to start act two.

"Kyle, didn't you say something about wanting to have someone to go to the Vhital ball with right? I already have a date my man so we can't go stag. Maybe if you asked nicely this nice woman would like to be your date?"

Max then just grinned and ate a few more fries and raised an eyebrow at his friend as if to give him the go ahead to try and ask her to the ball. On the other side of the restaurant, the human girl was hiding behind the counter giving Max a thumbs up for his slick game while also doing her best to not giggle too loudly. As to prove that he could see her, Max just smiled and whistled over to her.

"I'll actually have my smoothie now thanks!"


Kyle Alodis

Max just smiled happily as his friend slowly but confidently asked out the girl known as Holly out to the ball before she ran off to squeal and celebrate getting a date to the big dance. As Kyle pulled out 10 bucks and sat it on the table, Max just shook his head and shrugged as he slowly ate. He wasn't in it for the money. The way he saw things, Kyle wasn't afraid of him, was his friend and replaced his board and so it was the least he could do. As Max silently finished off his fries, he wiped his face and hands and leaned back in his seat as Kyle asked a rather odd but often asked question.

"I get this question quite a lot."

Before answering any further, Max fished his scroll out from his suit Jacket pocket and pulled up a picture of a man and a woman standing next to each other with a small eight year old standing in front of them giving a small smile. The man was large and full of bulk with a long bushy black beard with a bald head and a large nose. His hands and arms seemed to be bigger then most peoples heads. He was dressed in a black tank top with leather pants and boots to match with a white oil stained apron over top. He was about 7 feet tall with golden eyes.

The woman was way smaller then the man, about 5,3 with a short black pixie cut with white stripes in her hair like Max had in hers and had it spiked in the back. She had flame colored eyes with a small metal stud in her nose. She was dressed in leather pants and a leather tank top and leather fingerless gloves and had grease spots on her cheeks. Max stood in front with a small smile, wear a hoodie that had a tie print on it and a pair of cargo pants and boots to match. His hair didn't have the white stripes in it yet showing he had chosen to copy his moms fashion. Seeing the picture Max couldn't help but smile as he scooted the scroll over to his friend.

"Mom and dad always said dress for the job you want, not the job you have. They are content being weapon makers on the beach front of Stalwart in the kingdom of Rift. Who knows, I might end up retiring from hunting one day and traveling somewhere to set up shop but for now I wanna make a name for myself as the worlds best hunter and so I need to dress in a way that gets respect. My parents names are Charles "Chuck" Chromium and Alicia "Alice" Chromium by the way."
