Hershel had tried going back the way he came from. Being a robot, he had an easy access to his own memory, making it impossible for him to forget where he was. As he was on his intended path, moving very slowly due to low battery, he saw Maximus running through the forest near the beach.
Hershel wondered if it was better to go towards him or to return to the Dome to charge himself. But since he calculated that he might run out of energy by the time he reached the Dome, he wondered if powering down near Max or even Sachika would increase his chances of being helped. After calculating his choices in mere seconds, Hershel turned to the direction where he saw Max. He also noticed Sachika running beside him. They both looked terrified and were running away from something.
It was then that Hershel noticed that the trees were catching fire, one by one. He wondered who was causing it, but was quickly given an answer when he saw Sarzar flying in the air, amidst the woods. Of course, Hershel had no idea who Sarzar was, but he knew that his teammates were in danger. And yet, Hershel didn't care. He wanted to go near someone who knows him, to be switched off. Or else he would be abandoned.
Soon enough he caught up to them and saw them both on the beach. Max was fighting the floating electricity guy, and Sachika was running towards him. Hershel didn't have emotions, but If he did he would've felt happy, seeing her.
Eventually Sachika made it next to him. She was extremely tired and was out of breath, while also sweating profusely. She had been running for a long time.
Sachika: Uhhhh....my god....finally....
Hershel: Is anything the matter, Miss Sachika??
Sachika was still bowing down, her palms on her knees, too tired to talk. While slowly regaining her composure she straightened herself.
Sachika: Yeah..yeah...we need to defeat that guy in the sky!! And for that we need an electricity dampener!!
Hershel: I'm sorry, Miss Sachika! You ask me for that, but I don't possess anything of that sort.
Hershel told her off, despite her pointing at the danger flying in the air. But Sachika didn't look surprised, as if she knew.
Sachika: Yeah, I know! Do not worry. I'm just gonna build one!

Continuous attacks from Sarzar aimed completely at killing Max. That was what he had to deal with. Interestingly enough, Sarzar looked like he enjoyed his time fighting Max. He was smiling ear to ear, as Max dodged all of his relentless attacks.
Sarzar: I'm gonna burn you up real good!! And I will enjoy it, when you scream!!
Max: Yo psychopath!! Can you like get down here??
Max was very annoyed that the guy just flew in the air, away from his reach. Max was able to escape his attacks easily, thanks to the power of his eyes. He wasn't fast enough sometimes, but was able to block those strikes with his left arm. What made him angry was the fact that Sarzar was too far away from his reach. Max jumped a few times, but Sarzar just flew higher. It also didn't look like he was going after someone else.
Max: Okay...you are focused on me...!
Sarzar: Don't worry about your friends. I'll enjoy killing them, as much as I enjoyed killing you. I'm just destroying you first.
Max jumped away from another lightning attack and soon realized that he was running out of stamina. Max was very tired doing the same thing over and over again. He hadn't even used any of his star attacks, since he didn't get a chance. But it was still taking a toll on his body, and he wasn't sure how long he could hold up.
He just had to buy enough time to Sachika to come up with a way to bring his electricity down, so that Max can beat the shit out of him. Sarzar was powerful now, but he was also slowly losing power. And also, Max was worrying about his brother and the idiots behind Melissa too. He had to finish up here and go to them as fast as possible.
Suddenly out of nowhere a huge wooden table fell from the sky and hit Sarzar in the head knocking him down. He started bleeding immediately and was baffled on how he got hit. And then he heard a cackle behind him. He turned to see an old woman in the window of the lighthouse. Knightley.
Sarzar: Knightley!!! What the hell are you doing???As If you weren't already enough of a disgrace!!
Knightley just chuckled at his statement.
Knightley: Made you look...and also...you are on the ground...
Sarzar realised it as he sensed a terrifying presence behind him. He turned immediately to see a blue eyed smiling man with his palm shoving a star at his chest. And no matter how fast he tried, Sarzar couldn't escape.
Max: Starman!!!
And immediately the damage was seen as Sarzar flew through the sand and hit the wall with a very audible loud crash, spewing blood from his mouth. And Max wasn't stopping there.
