After Leo was done convincing the Deathbringers to suit up, and after they were all done shaking hands and left to do their own thing before the big game, Leo made his way down to his secret training area below town hall which he realized as soon as he stepped into wasn't such a secret area after all.
"Huh, this wasn't the kind of negotiations I was expecting," Leo commented.
"Hey, Leo-boyo," Max called happily.
He beckoned Leo toward him with a hand so they could both watch from the sidelines as the situation in front of them got more and more out of hand.
"So~oo, what brought this on?" Leo asked as he leaned on the wall and crossed his arms.
"Some of them just needed to be reminded who's boss and some of them just wanted to spar with the boss," Max explained in a jovial tone.
"Why aren't you with them then?" Leo asked. "Isn't big guns and fights your shtick?"
Greetings, fellow reapers!
Yes, if you haven't noticed it yet, Max is the mascot of GMofS — he's a cuddly red-furred imp with bat wings and a chubby face that's about right for the silver ratio — the size most mascot faces are made of because it evokes cuteness in people. Or so I hear.
And I would love to see a Max artwork. Man, I wish one of you readers did fanart. Would love to see the characters come to life like that.
Also, next chapter begins the next stage of the volume, SIEGE. ;P You'll be surprised with what Leo's got planned. LOL.
