Max 2: White House Hero

**Max 2: White House Hero** is a 2017 American adventure film and a sequel to the 2015 film Max.

## Plot

Max is assigned to the White House while Charlie, the Secret Service dog, is on maternity leave. He meets TJ (Zane Austin), a 12-year-old boy, who is the President's son. Due to his father's high profile, he is trying hard to fit in and lead a normal life. During a state visit by the Russian Prime Minister and his daughter, Alexandra (Alex) (Francesca Capaldi), TJ is asked to accompany her, during their stay. TJ befriends Alex, but when they sneak out of the White House in an attempt to find a party thrown by some of TJ's new friends at school, two masked villains try to kidnap TJ and Alex.

Luckily for the kids, Max has also managed to sneak out of the White House, following TJ and Alex, and jumps in to save TJ. Max bites the ankle of one of the bandits and Alex and TJ are able to escape the kidnappers' clutches and run back to the White House, where they promptly get in hot water with their parents and the White House security detail. TJ and Alex form an unlikely alliance and start investigating the nefarious doings of all they suspect. As their many attempts at sleuthing backfire and a harrowing attempt at harming the First Lady is narrowly foiled by Max, the Secret Service finally persuades President Bennett to relieve Max of his duties.

After that incident, the Russian President declares to President Bennett, "If you cannot protect your children, how are you going to protect our children?" and decides to return to Moscow, cutting his visit short. A despondent TJ cannot sleep and while searching for an early morning snack in the kitchen discovers that Chef Coop is the Russian mole. Coop locks TJ in the freezer and escapes. Meanwhile, Olga tricks Alex into following her into woods, so that Coop can abduct her.

Max finally escapes from his cage and smashes back into the residence to save TJ, alerting everyone to the misdeeds at hand. After a heroic pursuit of the criminals by Max and TJ with both Presidents and Agent Thorn, the perpetrators are captured, and Alex is rescued. Bennett apologizes to TJ for not believing him and assures him that the First Family is a family first. TJ and Alex convince their fathers to resume their talks where a historic agreement is reached and an award for bravery is bestowed upon Max. In the end, TJ and Alex wants to stay with each other with a kiss thanks to Max nudging TJ, and he gets a surprise; Charlie had 3 puppies and TJ, Alex and Max want to keep them all and starts playing with them.

Chaos Emerald

The **5 Chaos Emeralds** are fabled jewels that are told to have properties not even science can explain. They grant special abilities to anyone who hold them.

## Abilities

One special ability the Chaos Emeralds have in common is that-- when two of them are near each other-- grant teleportation abilities. They can allow a user to travel across vast distances in a very short amount of time, to any location that they know.

When all of them are collected and embrace, however, the user's true potential is unlocked and they transform into the thing they represent the most.

After the transformation, the Chaos Emeralds disperse, scattering to various locations of the Earth.

Facade (album)

***Facade*** is the debut studio album by English rock group Facade, released on 27 November 1971. The band consisted of Luke Melvin's brother Paul Melvin (lead vocals, lead and rhythm guitars), George David (backing vocals, drums) and John Christian (bass guitar). Despite getting some attention from the fact that Paul Melvin was Luke Melvin's brother, the album did not perform well and only reached No. 99 in the UK and did not chart in the USA. The song "Travelling the World" was the band's first single and featured again on their second album *Facade II*.

## The band's thoughts

"I bloody well can't deny it was a flop but it is one of my favourite albums that we did. It was our start. It was great became me and Paul had been writing for a while but John had only just started out. Paul's brother Luke got us into business with the Beatles and we signed with Apple. It was a great time." - George David.

"That was my favourite time of Facade. Our first album was great. Jesus [Melvin's nickname for John Christian] had only just started writing, and me and George wrote some pretty good tracks. "Travelling the World" was a flop but we knew the potential so for our next album we included it. It was the only time a track had appeared on two albums. Good times." - Paul Melvin.

"I really enjoyed that time of our career. George and Paul had been writing for a while but they got me into songwriting and I preferred it to playing live eventually. It was great." - John Christian.

## Track-listing

All lead vocals by Paul Melvin, except where noted. Side one: tracks 1-4; side two tracks 5-8.

## Personnel

**Facade**

* Paul Melvin - lead vocals, electric, acoustic, lead and rhythm guitars, keyboards

Phoenix "Nix" Sun

## **Public Info**

X\_ASH\_PHOENIX\_X | 16 | GO BOOM!

Those outside of the inner circle of Youtube hear the name Phoenix Sun and think of the unfortunate case wherein a young boy wandered into a demolition site and luckily walked away, but not before he blew out a large piece of his left leg. While not dead, he did manage to make it to the surface of news reports and result in changes to regulations in safety.

At the age of thirteen, this boy started a youtube account and had a rapidly-growing fanbase to follow. His entire playlist was built upon passion projects and science experiments with the same outcome in the end: explosions. Many wonder how the child has access to high-demand chemicals to create such large explosives with, suspicious of his sources and to some bringing in the question of the quality of his parental supervision. More wonder on how he wasn’t traumatized from the incident that had occurred only a few years prior.

Ancient

Ancients are superior beings. Each ancient has the type ancient and another. For example Marai has the type ancient and shaman. It was the ancients and Wrae who defeated Daramesh. In Chaos Wilds mostly the ancients disappear from the lore with only Syvalsna getting their first card and Raishadle getting their second. It is shown that The Broodmother is the mother of every ancient and collectively they created the plane Healia.

There are currently 7 ancients and 8 cards being: Marai, Darias, Vi D'Arr, Vanassly, Syvalsna, Raishadle and The Broodmother.
Raishadle

Raishadle is an ancient of the angels. During the entirety of the Healia, she is shown to have been frozen in time by the other ancients, but in the aftermath of Skyfall both her and Frostclave are freed from their prisons of time. She made a deal with him that he could take the north of Healia while she took the south. After a while, Raishadle came across the Moonlit Chapel where she came across Matias and the Angel Guild. Later she finds out that Matias is a Chanlich and offers a solution however he respectfully declines. She puts her faith in Reso to find out the truth but after he suspiciously disappears she confronts Matias and is defeated and is dealt by the rest of the ancients and returned to her status inside Northrech.
Vanassly

Vanassly is the spirit ancient. Little is known about Vanassly apart from she wasn't always the spirit ancient and once an Elf. Vanassly was the only legend of Healia to be corrupted by Daramesh before the Chanlich Titans and she firmly believed in the destruction of Daramesh after it and was one of the firmest believers in his demise.
Vi D'Arr

Vi D'Arr is the ancient of the dragons and along with being a primordial hunger. He was the first ancient to realise the threat of Daramesh and while the other ancients decided that Daramesh wasn't a problem, Vi made sure that he was ready to act if they would change their minds. As Daramesh strengthened his hold over Healia and Vanassly experienced his work first hand, the ancients discussed what to do about him. Vi and Vanassly agreed to take action while Darias and Marai decided that the mortals of Healia could take care of him. As Daramesh grew in power, Marai became more converted to the side of interfering. In the end, Vi started one of the darkest periods of Healia's history and caused Skyfall.

Our Lady of Sorrows

Our Lady of Sorrows is the Catholic church that once served the San Felipe Mission in Six Crosses. It is ostensibly named for the Virgin Mary, sometimes referred to as Our Lady of the Seven Sorrows for the cycle of events that punctuated her life.

The church is visible from the mission, sitting on a hill adjacent and connected by a small, mostly neglected footpath. Nearby, the six Latin crosses that are the town's namesake stand visible from the bell tower and front gate.

The church fell into disuse for many years, but remained consecrated ground.
