"Captain, I really can't make it!!, Today is my championship game and i have to be somewhere after!!" Max yelled "Max, Your city is depending on you being there, If want to remain a part of the division you have to be there" "Fine" Max says, Then he Hangs up the phone, and punches a locker out of anger. Max is sitting on the bench thinking to himself of a plan to play the championship game, save the city, and make it in time for his date with hillary, When suddenly it hits him! Max devises a plan. Max's game started at 6:00, The bandits were gonna start the riot at 7:00 and he had to meet Hillary by 8, So his plan was to play the game and score as much points as he could by 6:45, then he wold fake an injury so he couldnt play anymore, after thatt he would rush downtown to defeat the bandits and make it back in time for his date.

It is now time for the championship game practice. Max goes into the hardwood floor gym to run drills before the game. While he is practicing he tells Ty his plan, "Max, we need you, your our star player. You can't leave early" Ty says. "This is something i need to do bro, Don't worry. All you have to do is keep the lane free and pass me the ball when ever im open, and when im done, i need you to play as if your idol Michael jordan is watching you." "Gotcha bro".

The game finally started, Ty gets the ball and see's Max open at the 3 point line, he passes it and max scores, nothing but net. Max continued to score continuously, the croud was chanting his name and he looks at the time it was 6:40. It was the middle of the 3rd quarter and max already had 57 points, that was the best game he ever played so far. Max realizes that he has to make it downtown so he steals the ball from the opposing team and runs for a fast break and he pretends to twist his ankle. A couple of bench warmers take Max to the back to ice his ankle. Max's team was in the lead, the score was 91 to 62. Max felt he set a big enough lead so he hurries downtown to fight he villians.

It is now 7:13 and max arrives downtown and the bandits already got a start to the riot. It was three of them. One was about 6'0, another was 5'10 and the last on was 5'3 and really chubby. They were breaking into stores, breaking into cash registers, setting garbage cans on fire, and disturbing the peace. Max runs after the Chubby one first and tackles him and ties him up using one of his gadgets, while he's doing that The other two villians attack him. Max breaks free and uses all his strength two tie up the last two bandits. Max is pretty banged up so he Turns in the villians and heads home to clean up for his date with hillary.

She asks him what happens and he decides to tell her the truth. He tells her everything about why he was late all of the times and why he was always acting suspicious.
