*Exsposure*



The blast rocked the entire block, nearly incinerating everything. Max had been caught in the blast, and thrown back so hard that it would have killed a normal man. Good thing Max had ceased to be 'normal' since his original body had been nearly torn apart by Vilgax years ago. He was assisting his grandson and great grandson in a alien criminal take down, when the son of a bitch got desperate and self destructed himself and took half a block or so with him.

Max crashed into a TV and appliance store, almost destroying everything inside in the process. Thank goodness it was Sunday and no one was shopping. Max lay still for a while, letting his internal systems run a diagnostic. No severe damage. Good. Max tried getting up, his mostly mechanical body whirring and whining under the effort. Once he was up on one knee, he looked up and into a half busted, and was able to see the damage that his diagnostic failed to detect.

Half the syntheti-skin on his face had been torn off, exposing the dura-fiber endo-skeleton underneath. Max was almost terrified at the image of himself, half human/half machine. But he pulled himself together and got up on his feat. Rolling his shoulders and popping his back, Max pulled the keys to his Rustbucket out of his pocket and pressed the button. I know time it came flying from the sky and carried him back to where he had been blown from.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Moonie and Gwendolyn helped carry the wounded to the swarm of ambulances that had arrived after the blast. Ben was lucky enough to have gotten just a few scaipes and briuses that were sore as hell, and he whinned as Gwendolyn tried to rub ointment on them. Ken laughed at his fathers childish behaivor. The family looked to the sky as the familiar hum of the Rustbuckets engines greeted their ears. Moonie came running to the vehicle as she saw Max exit it.

She stopped in her tracks as he turned to her, showing his half metal face to her. At first Max didnt understand the look of shock on his wifes face, then he remembered his own. He was about to cover his metal face in shame, before Moonie came closer to him and placed her hands on his face. Her face was total serious, making Max unsure as to what she was thinking. Then her face melted into a smile, and Max knew she was not afriad of what lay beneath his syntheti-skin.

"C'mon, Bens being a baby and we need someone to be the man for him." Moonie said. Max laughed and followed his wife to where his grandchildren were bickering like they had done in their youth. The couple held hands as they walked to the family.
This idea came out of a convo I had with one of my friends. We talked about how in 'Ken 10', Maxs movements sounded really mechanical, like it was more than his right arm that was cybernetic.

So me, in my insanity, got the vision of Max with a Terminator like skeleton under his skin. I'm a freak... ;p

And yes, I just HAD to do this just soz I could write more Max/Moonie fluff. :XD: Sue me.

Why is all my stuff taking place after 'Ken 10'? O_o; I dunno. ^_^;

Enjoi folks. ^_^

Loved this, loved this, loved this. You were right, Max did sound way more mechanical than just one arm. Before I read your comments, I was thinking part of Max's face ripped off was a-la Terminator. XD I know this was supposed to be so Max/Moonie but you have no idea how the Ben and Gwen scene caught me. I loved how you wrote it, it could be taken either way and it was so them. I feel like you made that part just for me or at least I can pretend too :p

Moonie's acceptance of Max is awesome. I wonder what was she thinking though to have her face such a shock? The way you have her touch his face was a great touch, because you wrote that scene so well that no words needed to take place there. I did enjoy this very much. Thanks for sharing.

Good Luck and Happy Writing
