Max landed quietly, shifting his form into a cat's as soon as he had a mind to do so, even before he hit the ground. He scurried under the shade of a bush and watched the scene unfold, the newcomers seemed to be more powerful one after the other, which didn't bode well for him at all. As useful as being able to shapeshift was, it was of little use in a fight, all he could really do was change into something that would stand more of a chance, and the biggest thing he could think of at the moment was actually standing a few paces in front of the bush he was hiding under. He decided to stay quiet and see how things unfolded.
