Maxwell's mother tells him what happen after he left the village. "After you left, they killed all the men who played a part in the coup, but they burned their sons alive and mercilessly beat their wives and daughters, hence the marks on my skin". As Maxwell listened to his mother, he grew more and more bloodthirsty. "How could they touch my mother?" Maxwell thought to himself as he continued to listen to his mother's story." They sold half of the remaining sons and as not allow of numbers to become too big and plentiful. remarked his mother. His mother sighed and asked, "Why did you return? There is nothing left here for you." Maxwell walked out of the kitchen for a moment and when he returned, he brought back the ax. "I've come back for you, mother, and everyone else here." replied Maxwell. His mother's eyes open widely and she didn't believe what she saw." It's really real. I thought your father was just daydreaming and too caught up in made-up legends, but it's real" proclaimed his mother." And am using it to free everyone," replied Maxwell. "But how you are still outnumbered" remarked his mother." I need to find where the rest of men are quick to get my plan in motion." replied Maxwell. "The men in village sneaked out and hide in the back of the swamp to drink. They should be there now," remarked his mother. "Thanks, ma," replied Maxwell as he kissed his mother goodbye and proceed to leave. At the back of the swamp, Maxwell found the men now began drinking. "Good. They now started. Drinking. They should still be in a frame of mind. To listen, Maxwell thought to himself and he walked down to meet, the men. The men took notice of Maxwell's presence and approached him." What are you doing here stranger asked one man? Maxwell looked and noticed who it was." Samuel" Maxwell asked. The man confused took a step back and yield "How the fuck do you know my name? Answer me before I kill you." Maxwell laughed and replied," I know I was gone a while, but you will kill me, Samie". The more confused how this stranger knows him grew increasingly angrier and remarked that if he didn't answer him soon, he would be dead. Maxwell continued laughing and stated," It me, you fool it Maxwell". "Maxwell," remarked the man, still confused." If You're Maxwell, then you can tell me who I had a crush on when we were kids,". the man shouted. Maxwell smiled and whispered something in the man's ear. The man turned to Maxwell and hugged "it's you, Maxie, I thought you dead". The rest of the men, realizing who it was, ran off and hugged him as well. After a few moments of catching up, Maxwell relieved his plan to the men. "You think it can work", asked Samuel. "It will" answered Maxwell with confidence." Well once you say it will work it will" shouted the group of men. Maxwell got up and left the group remarking they all have a part to play and they but this time tomorrow that they would be free. The men rejoiced and Maxwell headed home to sleep.
The next morning as the villagers salved in the mine, Maxwell walked into the mine like he own the place with his ax in hand and with limitless confidence. The guards were confused as to who this stranger was that walked past them like he own the place surrounded Maxwell as he reached the center of the mine. Maxwell over at the watchtower at the far end of the mine and called out to Mr. Welson as he pointed his ax into the sky. Inside the tower, Mr. Welson can hear someone calling out to him as he looked forward he saw the strange man with a massive ax in hand. "Who the fuck are you" shouted Mr. Welson. "It's me Maxie boy don't you remember me you had your guards kill my father in front of me" replied Maxwell. "Maxwell that you," remarked Mr. Welson. "So what you found some legendary weapon and you come to kill is that it?" asked Mr. Welson "exactly" Maxwell replied. "You do realize you are surrounded by my guards" laughed Mr. Welson, unfazed Maxwell just smiled which enraged Mr. Welson shouted to his men to kill him. As the guards rushed forwards towards Maxwell, he drew his mighty ax and swung it into the ground causing a shock wave so strong it instantly killed the guards in front of Maxwell and blew away the rest of them. The shock waved travel and as it did so it hit the near C4 with was placed near the watchtower by the mean causing it to explode. With the explosion, the watchtower collapsed and fell to the ground. As the tower fell Maxwell swung his ax in all different directions causing massive shock waves to destroy the mine. In the chaos, the village men drew their weapons and began overthrowing the guards. With the battle in full effect, Maxwell could see Mr. Welson escaping, he signals to Samuel that was going after him and began giving chase. Mr. Welson runs frantically down the roadway with Maxwell slowly walking behind with a devilish grin on his face and a whip in his hand. As Mr.Welson ran Maxwell snap the whip causing it to rip away the back of Mr.Welson's head clean. Mr. Welson dropped to the ground and began screaming in pain. Maxwell enjoying himself removed the clothes off of Mr. Welson and began whipping across his body. "Remember this, I think you said forty for each of us right?" laughed Maxwell as he counted from one to forty. After all forty strokes were done Maxwell tied the whip around Mr. Welson's neck and began choking him as the man cried and begged for his life. As Maxwell continued choking the man, he could hear the voice of Domonmo speaking to him "you are full of revenge and hatred your heart is not pure". Remembering these words Maxwell released the man and walked after, "you're free never return here again" remarked Maxwell as he walked off. Mr. Welson gathering himself pulled a gun out of his pocket and fired it behind Maxwell whose back was turned. Maxwell with his quick reflexes blocked the bullet with his gauntlet. "Even when you were granted mercies you didn't deserve you still try to take advantage of people" proclaimed Maxwell furiously. Mr. Welson tried to reload but before he could do so Maxwell with all his might punched him in the crown of his head causing his head to sink into his body killing him instantly. Maxwell shook his head and returned to the battlefield, a few moments later and they won. The villagers were finally free, as they rejoiced they proclaimed they Maxwell was their leader as without him they would be slaves forever. Six months later with their defenses built Maxwell headed over to his old home to retrieve his master. As he entered the home he realized that it was in even worst condition than usually concerned Maxwell quickly ran into the bedroom to look for his master. Entering the bedroom he saw his master laying in bed barely clinging on to life. Maxwell rushed over to his master. "Master are you ok?" asked Maxwell, John who was barely awaked looked at Maxwell and replied "Am dying kiddo" Maxwell in shock began crying with his head down. John raised Maxwell's head and looked at him. "You can't be dying I came back for you" proclaimed Maxwell. "It's ok I finally done what I had to do in life so now my body and soul are done with this place" replied John. Confused Maxwell asked what he meant by that and John smiled at him and stated "Before you came into my life I always wondered why I was still alive but now I know, It was to raise a great warrior and not become one and I have done look at you, you're beautiful" remarked John. Maxwell continued crying "It's not fair you finally have the chance at a good life and your dying" shouted Maxwell overwhelmed with grief. "But I did have a good life" replied John as Maxwell looked at him "I had you did I?" continued John as Maxwell looked on in shock. "I love you my son take care of yourself, take of your people, and most important ever forget who you are, Safaei I ready to come home" and with that John was gone. As Maxwell cried on top of his master he whispered" I never got to show you that I learned your true name, farewell Amhaselassie". Maxwell composed himself and as he left the house carrying his master's body he could feel someone looking down at him with joy. Maxwell smiled and continued on his journey, he walked until he was in front of a cave and began laying his master's body to rest. When the task was done Maxwell could hear loud footsteps coming out of the cave it was Gustave and his clubs that were grown now. Maxwell looked at Gustave and remarked " Take care of him make sure no one wakes him up ok" Gustave shook his head as Maxwell walked into the forest with a smile on his face.
