While inside the waiting room Maximus was once again waiting for his turn to fight another opponent, but then something happened, his scanners picked up three new energy signatures approaching the tournament and they were close. He tilted his head up to look out the widows to the ring, he noticed the announcer begin to start the next rounds when suddenly he stopped talking and began to tremble. This caught Maximus's attention, but he remained still as he assumed the reason being was that the energy signature's his scanners picked up were the cause of the announcers fear. 

Maximus was correct, just after the announcer began to tell the viewers to leave the three beings his scanners picked up had dashed across the stands and made their way to the ring towards the announcer. One of the three closed in on the announcer before he even had time to react and was hit with a jab to his gut making him reel in pain. Seeing this made Maximus clench his hands into fists, more so when he watched the announcer get thrown into the ring and landing on the stone tiles, they would pay for doing so, Maximus promised that.

Although this was happening Maximus didn't bother to rush out the entrance to the ring to try and come to the announcers aid, having estimated that the likelihood of the other fighters doing so as well, instead he waited for the three offenders to take their leave, and then he left out the exit he was standing beside calmly. He didn't wait to hear the staff member from before pick up the microphone and ask for help, nor did he have any interest in a reward, he wanted justice to be served, and he would deliver it. With a faint flicker of Maximus's silver aura he slowly hovered into the air, looked in the direction the offenders energy signatures went, and began to fly after them, when he was a decent height in the air he funneled energy into his boosters on his back, they glowed brightly before he blasted off in pursuit of the offenders, shattering the sound barrier while doing do.

The sonic boom Maximus created shook the ground making some of the fleeing citizens cower and duck their heads, and disturbed the birds resting in the tree's nearby.
