My name's Maximilian Justice Powers, and I'm comin' clean. Don't think anybody here even knows my full name.

My dad died when I was 12 in a border skirmish with Blue Moon. My mom washed laundry for a living to support me and her. I was a crummy kid after my dad died, and I never did what my mom told me to do. I got into the wrong sorta people at school. I'm sorry I did that now, and I don't think I ever told her after I grew up. Army straightened me out when I was 16.

When I was 15 I used anabolic steroids for about a year, maybe a year and a half. I was a big, angry kid, they made me bigger and angrier. When I got into the army I had to get clean. Been clean ever since. But I always tell people I'm all natural. I am. But I wasn't always.

Killed three men when I was 17. I learned to stop countin' after that. But I'm probably directly or indirectly responsible for the deaths of hundreds of army men. I'll tell you it was for a good cause, that it was done in the defense of the people of Macroland and Omegaland. But I ain't gonna lie and tell you I ain't killed before. 'Cause I have.

My best friend Grit and I were in love with the same woman, Nell. She's now my boss. And she's married to my best friend. When she asked me if I was okay with her marryin' my best friend I lied and told her I was. I wasn't. When Grit asked me to be his best man I said I was happy for him. I wasn't. I sat there and I cried as I hugged him and told him I was happy for him when I wasn't. I think he knew, though. We both pretended it we both didn't know, though. Sometimes its hard to go back home and see them together.

One time for a week I was Green's Blastoise and another time for a week I was Bulba. If at some time you ever thought one of them was actin' weird for a week, it was probably 'cause we'd switched bodies. I guess that happens a lot here. But I didn't tell nobody when it happened to me.

If I ever told you somethin' that wasn't true, I'm sorry. If you want to ask me somethin' about me, now's your chance.

We need to talk. You know why.

See, "private" here is sort of ironic

Little bit.

You got any questions you wanna ask me about me? Now's the time to ask them. I'm an open book, Private.

exactly

Really.

...

...Well.

What're your real feelings 'bout Sis?

Your stupid moe eyes mean nothing to me

I like her. I don't know how much I like her. I've had some good times with her, but she's been gone for like a month.

I'm interested in her, yeah. I tried to ask her to go out with me more before she left but she never gave me an actual answer. And then she left and didn't say nothin' about bein' gone. So I don't know how she feels about me, and I don't know how to feel about her yet, 'cause I haven't had the chance to find out.

it was worth a shot

Hn. I KNEW IT.

You should visit her. Red gave me the address for this place she's training at.

S'not a secret that I don't like the idea of her dating you. But I don't like the idea of her being unhappy even more. So figure it out.

[LOCATION OF THE FIRE DOJO] Since we're sharing, and all.

Your moe sucks, it was never worth anything.

Training. Huh. She never said nothin' about that.

Thanks.

but it's all I have left

Yeah, guess she had the same idea as me. I'm stopping by on the way to the Garden.

You're goin' to the garden to train? Or you mean you're trainin' with me?
