Outside in the real world Laura had asked Fearcat to move Max to her home, Max was now lying in her bed, Laura was down stairs, she picked up the videophone and the image of a green Crocodile appeared.

"Hello, Vector is my son there" Laura asked in a happy tone.

"Yes Laura, I'll go get him" Vector replied, leaving the screen.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

4 Minutes later at the Chaotix tower in New Tek city.

Espio was at the videophone, but he was looking angry at Vector who was in the background.

He looked at the screen "Yes mom, are you ok" Espio asked, in the background Vector was laughing his head off, "Vector, will you please shut up?" Espio shouted.

"Yah, Vector shut up" Mighty said, walking in the room "he's talking to his mummy" this made both Vector and Mighty laugh.

Espio looked back at the screen "sorry mom, is everything ok"

"Yes dear, can you please come home, I need to talk to you" Laura asked, Espio nodded and he turned the videophone off, he turned to Vector "er, -"

"Sure" Vector said, the Crocodile reached down and took out a small dives out from his side belt and purest a button, seconds later a huge floating T.V. screen appeared.

Espio walked forward and asked, "Omni, could you take us to a town called Faith hill"

"Will do, Espio," replied the Omni-Viewer, the floating screen opening a portal and the three members jumped through.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Back at Laura's house, Fearcat, Sugar, Rene and Laura all were sat in the bedroom, Max now had a very high temperature and he was in a lot of pain mainly because he was a powerful psychic.

It is rare for Psychic's to get a Psychic illness, he now could feel and hear all the people in the towns and villages in the area, his friends in the room just added to the pain, they didn't know this, any normal persons headache would be light, but to him it was like having a unclear boom go off in his head and Max had turned the pain into void of darkness that only the Tri-force ability could help bring him out of.

{Max, hold on} Laura said telepathically, he could not hear her because of all the chaos and pain in his mind, he gritted his teeth, and Sugar then turned to Laura "is he ok,"

Laura turned back to her son "he will be ok"

"Mom, are you here" called a male voice from down stairs.

"He will now" Laura said more happier, she stood up and walked out the room and down the stairs, at the bottom was Espio, Vector and Mighty, "Oh son you here, thank you for coming"

"What is it you wanted to talk to me about" Espio asked, he then looked in the direction of the stairs, Laura turned to see at the top Rene, the purple fox was shocked, she soon got over it and flew down the steps towards Espio.

"Esmond, big brother" she screamed, Rene open her arms then tightly hugged him.

Vector and Mighty looked at the fox then back at Espio whose faces shown total confusion.

"Excuse me" Espio said pushing Rene away.

"Son, this is going to be a bit hard to tell you," Laura said standing next to Rene "but this is your younger sister, Rene" Laura said smiling.

Espio suddenly shot a look at his mother "what? My sister"

"Yes and right now we need your to help, you see Max is -" Rene said fast, but her son cut her off.

"Who's Max"? Espio asked.

"Why he's your younger brother" Rene said, slightly shocked.

"I don't have a younger brother or younger sister " Espio shouted in anger.

"Yes, he is your brother, me and Max were both were 5 years old when the Drakons attacked our village, you were 9 at the time, you have to remember" Rene screamed at Espio.

"I don't remember, I don't remember" Espio screamed, as he did a field of blue energy surround him.

Laura walked towards him "son, calm your self you can lose control for your powers" as she put her hand on Espio's shoulder, Espio turned to face her, the blue energy around him lashed out at Laura and Rene.

Vector and Mighty could not believe this, Espio was stood in the front room he was also glowing bright blue.

"Er, Espio are you ok" Mighty asked in confusion, "Vector have you every seen him like this"

"No" was the replied

~~~~~~~~~~~

Meanwhile up stairs in Laura's bedroom Fearcat and Sugar could hear the shouting and screaming coming from down stairs.

"Oh, I hope Max is ok" Sugar worried, she then looked at the door.

"He will if they just shut up" Fearcat said angrily "I don't get it, they know theirs an ill person here so why are they shouting and screaming, what are they doing down there, anyway"

"Fearcat, they haven't see each other in years" Sugar said in a sweet and soft tone.

"I know" Fearcat said, looking at the door for a minuet then looked back at Max lying on the bed, "you hold on, you hear me, buddy".

"Hmm, I hear you" Max murmured barely above a whisper.

Fearcat and Sugar looked shocked as Max as he opened his eyes half way, he reached up with his right hand and rubbed his eyes "oh, my head kills"

"Max, you're awake" Sugar said, overjoyed with happiness.

"Yah, thanks to you, Sugar" Max turned his head in her direction, she smiled in embarrassment, she looked a way for him, for a minute.

"What did I you" Sugar asked sweetly looking back at him.

"You called to me and told me to hold on" Max looked at her "so I did"

Sugar went all red with embarrassment "I did all that"

"Were, is Rene" Max asked, just then he heard the shouting from down stairs, forcing himself to sit up, he struggled to stand, but Fearcat helped him up.

"She's down stairs with your mother and older brother" Fearcat said, helping Max to stand.

"Espio, he's here" Max whispered, after getting some energy back he then ran out the bedroom door followed by Fearcat and Sugar.

Max then appeared at the top of the stairs, with Sugar and Fearcat hiding around the corner, at the bottom he saw Vector and Mighty both of them were out cold, then his eyes were drawn to Espio their was a field of light blue energy surround him, Max whispered to Fearcat and Sugar "my brother's flipping out, it's his ability gone out of control".

"What do you mean?" Sugar asked.

"I'll explain later, right now I need you two to get his attention" Max said to them, he looked at them both and they nodded back in reply.

Fearcat and Sugar ran from around the corner and down the stairs.

"HAY" Fearcat shouted at Espio, who turned and hit the cat, but Fearcat got to his feet and tried to hit Espio again.

Meanwhile Max disappeared as Fearcat and Sugar distracted Espio long enough so Max could teleport behind the chameleon.

"Hello, brother been along time" Max said, he then hit Espio with his own psychic abilities Espio then hit the floor.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

An hour later

"He's waking up," replied a male voice.

Espio's eyes slowly opened to see a white hedgehog and a purple fox looking down at him, "er, who are you" Espio asked weakly.

"I'm your little brother, Esp" Max said, smiling at him.

"Max" he replied.

"Yap, that's me"

"It's so nice to have you all finally back" Laura said as she walked in the room smiling.

Espio was lying on the sofa in the front room, Espio turned his head to see Vector and Mighty on another chair still unconscious, "are they ok?" he asked.

Max stood up and walked over to them and he began to shaking Vector by his shoulder, who opened his eyes seconds later.

"Hello" Max said warmly.

"Huh, who are you" Vector asked.

"I'm Max" Max replied, Max turned to Espio and asked him telepathically {is it ok to tell them, that I'm your brother} Max face changed {you need to tell them that you're psychic}.

{Your right Max} Espio simply said, he looked over at Vector, "er, Vector, I need to tell you something that you might fine a bit of a shock"

"What?" Vector asked, giving Espio a curious stare.

"This is my little brother, Max Evelyn," Espio said, looking at the hedgehog.

Vector looked at Max then at Rene and Laura, then back at Espio, "your brother, I never knew you had a brother and a sister"

"That's not all" Espio replied, looking down at his lap, "I--I'm also a psychic" he stammered.

"Your a what!" Vector shouted he stood up fast and moving to the chameleon.

{I wouldn't do that if I were you} Max said telepathically to Vector.

Vector turned to him, "you're a psychic too"

"Er, my whole family are psychic's, Vector" Espio said "I would have told you sooner but-" he stopped and looked up at the Crocodile's face, but what he saw in his friends eyes was not anger, but understand.

"Your right you should have told me," Vector stopped and looked at the unconscious Mighty then he looked back to Espio "but you didn't and you had a good reason to and I don't really care on that reason"

"Thanks Vector" Espio replied.

"It's ok"

Vector turned to Max "so your Espio brother"

"Adopted brother, but Yes I am"

Laura looked at him "how long have you known that"

"Since the attack"

"But that was 15 years ago"

"I know" Max's red eyes stated to become brighter, "you were taken away from me, I was left with the Drakon's"

"Max, I tried to save you" Laura said, looked at the white hedgehog closely, he had more control over all his psychic abilities than anyone she knew.

"Yes, I understand, and where were you when the Drakons took me back to they home would" Max yelled, he had been holding back his real emotions for so long, the Drakons had torte him to suppressed them so he would be a better fighter, he was now finally let it all go.

"Son, I'm sorry"

"Your just sorry" Max closed his eyes and sighed deeply "mom, you have no idea what I have been through all these years"

"I'll like to understand, if you'll let me" Laura said, walking up to him "Xavier, would have been broad of you three" Laura looked at Max then at Espio and finally Rene.

"Huh, uh my head kills" Mighty said, finally opens his eyes.

"Er, sorry about that, Mighty" Espio admitted

"What did you hit me with, Espio" Mighty said, holding his head.

{Brother can you sense that} Max asked

"Yes I can"

"You can what" Mighty asked confused, he watched as Max, Espio, Rene and Laura turned to the door.

Max turned to Fearcat and Sugar "is the ship still flyable"

"Yes" Fearcat replied.

Max turned to go, but the others didn't follow.

"Good, take my mom and the others," Max said, turning back to his family, "I'll meet you there".

"I am not going" Espio said in protest.

"Look big brother, these things are after me" Max said to him, he then turned back to the door and added "no one else".

"I lost you once," Espio walked up to him and put his hand on his shoulder "I'm not going to again".

Max looked at him and smiled "ok, you coming to sis"

Rene smiled as well "you bet I am"

"You three be careful now" Laura called, following Fearcat out the back door.

"Did I miss something, Vector" Mighty asked running out the door after him.

After the others had left Max unsheathed the Amega sword, standing on his right was Rene and on his left was Espio, he then said in a joyful voice "ready siblings"

"READY" they both called.

As the clouds of smoke disappeared from the ruins of the destroyed house, three siblings stood ready to fight.

Standing in front of them were 5 robotic fox's that were a metallic yellow and all of them were armed to the teeth with weaponry like lasers, knifes, missiles.

The larder robot was a darker metallic yellow and had lasers green eyes in its right hand a Katana sword, all the others were bright yellow and had red eyes.

The robots started to fire their lasers at the three fighters, Max dodged three of the blasts; Rene dodged a twin bladed knife and Espio vanished and then reappeared and hit one of the robots it got back up onto it's feet.

Espio vanished again and then reappeared next to Max, "I hope the others are having better luck than us"

Rene turned and looked at her two brothers then back at the robots and she then said, "They are trust me".

"I'll take the one with the sword, you two better move it" Max yelled to Rene and Espio. He then turned to face the robot, he stood holding his sword tightly in his hands, {if I use the power of the Amega sword now} he thought to himself, he looked over at his brother and sister, "stand back you two", {I hope this works}.

"What are you going to do?" asked Espio.

"I'm release the power of Amega sword," Max yelled, he held up the sword above his head and closed his eyes.

"Max, are you crazy" Rene said, she grabbed Max's shoulder to stop him, "Max, brother the sword's power" Rene's face seemed to panic "do you know what that type of power could do to you"

Max didn't open his eyes but he said "Yes, I do know what might happen" Max paused and then he looked at her "there is something I need to tell you two, this sword is?" he paused again "years ago after the attack by the Drakons I found this room in the Drakon palace, this sword was lying there, I walked over to it and touched it, after I did, I and the sword somehow fused together" Max paused and looked at Espio and Rene in the face then he continued "the sword's power and my soul are, one".

Suddenly the leader robot hit Max on the right arm with it's sword, Max fell to the ground the Amega sword dropped out of Max's hand it landed over near a tree, he looked up at the robot and froze in anger.

Espio looked at his brother lying on the floor Espio's mind was suddenly full of rage, "Max!" he yelled to his brother, Rene's screams got Espio's addition, Espio turned to see her, one of the other fox robots had her in it's metal hands which were around her neck, she was choking of air, Espio ran forwards to the metal robots to tried to breaker her free.

Meanwhile Max who was pinned to the ground by the leader robot, Espio's words were ranging in Max's head, he looked over at the sword on the ground more then 30 meters away, Max closed his eyes and held out his free hand and the sword came to it's master's call. Max then hit the leader in the chest and the robot fell to the ground, {it's time I took this to the next level} just then a wave of green energy surround Max, "now I'll show you a real fight you tin can" Max yelled "Rene, Espio run" Max shouted "this is my fight".

Espio had just smashed the robot that had Rene and they both turned their heads in Max's direction, "he's changing" both replied in shocked.

"I know, now move it" Max ordered.
