CH144: FUSED.

  "What's happening to him?"

"I don't know. He just started shaking in his sleep."

"Well do something about it. You're his friend Phoenix."

"What do you expect me to do? I don't know these things he's going through." Sky, Miv, Moka, and Phoenix were in Max's room, trying to figure out what exactly was happening to him. His body was shaking uncontrollably as he'd occasionally throw a fireball or two.

  They tried cooling him off with water, but it failed. Miv slapped him senselessly but it also failed. They spent two hours trying to help him wake up but it was all in vain. Eventually, they gave up and took out every flammable material in the room, and left him alone. Their solution was to let things run their course and hope for the best.

"I think the pressure has gotten to him." Sky whispered to Phoenix. "He's just a kid and yet he's got to deal with a whole lot of problems on his own."
