Max's face had melted off as he stepped out from the fire. His legs arms and body horrible burnt. But instead of seeing his skull the face of the bartender from earlier's face could be seen instead horribly burnt, as darkness could also be seen coming from her mouth.<br/><br/>Max rose from the woman's shadow as he smiled. Darkness coming from his hand connecting to her back as he released it. The woman fell over lifelessly as the darkness he had filled her body with so he could fully control her, and used to disguise her quickly dissapered.<br/><br/>(He made the switchout right before the post where Anudurill said no more portals. And he did everything else from the shadow. Which is why instead of the ice and darkness coming from the hands is the reason why they just erupted from her body is because he can't fully control his powers when manipulating her. Which is why she was wielding the swords beforehand.)
