Tiffany Chang. 

Age: 15

Not much is known about her personal life. For one thing, she is a very private person, as most people would say.

But, she is also intelligent, "fairly athletic" and well behaved for the most part.

That is how most people would explain Tiffany Chang, based off of what they'd known about her from high school

Tiffany Chang, however, had a lot more to her than would meet the eye.

For one thing, she was far, far, more athletic than one would imagine at first glance.

Back at the battlefield....

Max and Tiffany simply looked at each other.

Direct eye contact.

For not a single moment did either leave the other's gaze.

Tiffany: Ken? Could you do the honors?

Ken: Absolutely, my esteemed mistress.

He stood up and stretched a bit.

Rose: Ooooooooohhh my goooosssshhhhhh!

She, on the ground, started jittering.

Rose: This is so teeeeeeensseeee!

Luke: Yeah...... (thinking: Max might actually put up an amazing fight.)

Ken: Alright, are you both ready?

Tiffany: Yea...

Max: Wait!

He cut her off, much to her and everybody else's shock.

Tiffany: Hmm?

Max: I just wanna make one thing clear.

This had been really bothering him.

Max: I'm gonna go easy on you cuz you don't have powers. After all, my powers are really strong.

Tiffany remained silent and as did the others, until suddenly....

Ken: You may wanna reconsider that.

Max: Huh?

Ken: You may not no this, buuuuuuuuuutttttt.......

Luke: She beat all of us in our first matches.

Max: She what!?

The amount of shock he felt at that time could not be underestimated.

Max: But..... but....... but ... how?

Luke: Weeeelllllll.....

Rose: Tiff's just super strong and smart.

Ken: Admittely, yes. (thinking: Though if I was to explain it, it would be like saying that she is psychic.)

Max: Tha... bu.... but.....

In no way could he imagine a normal human giving them that much trouble.

Max: There's just no way.

Ken: You know what that means, dont you Max?

Max: Huh?

Ken: Don't underestimate your quarry.

Luke: True. Tiff may just be a normal human, but she's a lot tougher to bring down than you'd think.

Rose: Uh huh. When I fought her, she just played tricks on me until she knocked me out.

Ken: Yes, that was embarassing.

Rose: (gasp) Keeeeeennnn!

Ken: (chuckles) In any case....

Max turned back to Tiffany. She hadn't moved a muscle. Her eyes were stuck on him like glue.

Perhaps a weaker man would have avoided her gaze, but Max? No. He looked directly back into them.

Ken: ... come what may, this fight will be interesting.

The staredown continued.

Luke: (to Ken) So.... whod you think is gonna win?

Ken: Hmmm... depends. They both have things in their arsenal. In all honesty, before Max joined the team, I would have called Rose our most powerful member. But Max's speed is such a strong ability that Im tempted to say this could go ether way.

Luke: I see.

Rose waited in anxious anticipation.

Ken: (thinking: Max is always full of surprises. But then again, its not like Tiff lacks surprises of her own.)

In the mean time, Tiffany had been silent. But it was not like her mind had nothing going on.

Tiffany: (thinking: Maximillian Hunter...)

As an experienced warrior, she had plenty of experience fighting dangerous opponents. Opponents that no normal human had ever had to think of fighting, and so dealing with Max would really just be another monster of the week for her.

So, why then was she bothered?

Because, unlike most people, she wasn't a fool. She knew full well that Max was much more than just another non human opponent.

She'd fought by his side twice and from those two battles she could make a few conclusions about him.

The first two...

One, Max is reckless and bull headed.

Two, Max is reckless and bull headed.

Those two lessons were quite relevant, seeing as she was about to fight him.

But the other lessons, even as well as seeing him before her at this very moment could all be compounded into this one statement.

To Maximillian Hunter, there is a lot more than meets the eye. So much more.
