Betrayal

Max was not suspecting anything, he did not have his senses on high alert, nor did he have a reason to believe his life was in danger. 

When he re-entered the controlled universe, his full attention was on the system notification he had received and was not even looking outside the windows of his shuttle. 

[ System Notification - You have re-entered the boundaries of the controlled universe. 

You have entered a ' Battle-Zone ' , please note you will die permanently inside Battle-Zones. 

You have been identified as player 'Ravan' and are not a fugitive. 

You will be allowed to enter and your system functions will be restored after an initial scan is complete ] 

As Max was reading the system notification, an attack out of nowhere came and blasted his ship to smithereens, stunning Max completely and blasting him off into open space. 

*KABOOM*
