Editing Kaiser (section)

===Story Start===
He met with [[Kayden Anders]] and convinced her to rejoin the Empire on the condition that she would become his second in command. He also promised her that he would give her the Empire in a year if she still wasn't satisfied with his methods.<ref name="I3.5"/>

Max later met with the [[Undersiders]], [[Faultline’s Crew]], [[Coil]], and the [[Merchants]] to talk about how they would deal with the [[Azn Bad Boys]]. He denied [[Skidmark]] a seat at the table, calling him and his gang deranged losers he wouldn't listen to. He then agreed to the truce that Coil proposed.<ref name="5.1">[[Hive 5.1]]</ref>

When [[Bitch]] threatened to visit [[Hookwolf]]'s dogfighting rings again, he asked the Undersiders if it was a declaration of war. He agreed to put the issue aside to uphold the truce though warned them that the Empire would need restitution.<ref name="5.2 e1">“You mean give you a warning I’m coming,” Bitch spat the words, “That’s the dumbest fucking thing I ever heard.  Just so you know, moving to a different neighborhood won’t be good enough.  You open up another dogfighting ring, I’ll be visiting that one too.”<br/><br/>Oh, that’s what she’d done.  I glanced at Tattletale, then at Grue.  I was getting the impression neither of them had known.<br/><br/>Kaiser spoke, “Is that a declaration of war, Undersiders?  We just agreed to a truce, if you recall.”  He was utterly calm, a stark contrast to Hookwolf.  Hookwolf was brimming with barely suppressed rage to the point that I could picture him leaping across the room and attacking us if someone so much as dropped a glass. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2011/11/08/hive-5-2/ Excerpt] from [[Hive 5.2]]</ref><ref name="5.2">[[Hive 5.2]]</ref>

Max, [[Fenja]], and [[Menja]] later met [[Skitter]], Bitch [[Newter]], [[Sundancer]] and [[Labyrinth]] at the lighthouse. He informed them that the attack would begin in five minutes before telling them to move out, taking a few steps back when Bitch enhanced [[Brutus]].<ref name="5.5">[[Hive 5.5]]</ref>

Together with Fenja and Menja, Max then went to circle around the ABB warehouse. He created a line of blades to prevent the ABB from escaping before drawing the attention of the guards. <ref>[[Hive 5.6]] </ref> He followed Lung and created a narrow beam which Lung avoided.<ref>Kaiser strolled in, unworried, unhurried. Lung moved like he was going to lunge for him, then stopped just in time to avoid impaling himself on the narrow blade of steel that had erupted from the ground, pointed at his heart. I wasn’t sure if it would have penetrated his covering of scales, but if I were Lung, I don’t think I would have gambled on it either. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2011/11/29/hive-5-8/ Excerpt] from [[Hive 5.8]]</ref>

Max told Skitter that he had the situation in hand, but asked her what she would do after she told him about Lung's power. He formed a barrier between Lung and Skitter before creating a block of steel to shove Lung into the ground when he tried to jump. He then created a pyramid of crisscrossing blades around Lung to trap him before directing the blade he had been forming at him.<ref name="5.9 e2">Lung wasn’t quite down and out yet, though. He started climbing to his feet, only to have a pyramid of criss-crossing blades spear up around him. Blades appeared under and over his arms, just beneath his armpit, behind his knee, by his groin, with dozens more rising above and around him. Before he could find his way out, he was trapped. Buried and hidden beneath the layers of steel. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2011/12/03/hive-5-9/ Excerpt] from [[Hive 5.9]]</ref>

When Lung escaped, he used a metal spear to throw Lung towards Bitch's dogs before using his power on Lung's men. He then used a shaft to push Lung towards Sundancer's orb and then created a spear to impale Lung. He fell unconscious after he was smashed against the wall by Lung.<ref name="5.9 e673">With the sound of swords being drawn out of their sheaths, a barrier of blades and spears rose up from the ground between Lung and I. I found traction on the asphalt with my hands and feet, and I managed to half-crawl, half run away from him. <br/><br/>[...]<br/><br/>Except he didn’t get that far. A square pillar of steel as tall and long as an eighteen wheeler speared downward from the roof, straight at him. It caught Lung in his midsection and shoved him down into the ground, hard. A few seconds later, the weight of the block of steel tore it from the section of ceiling it was rooted in. It didn’t hit anyone as it dropped down but I could guess it would’ve killed someone: I could feel the impact of it striking the ground in my bones.<br/><br/>[...]<br/><br/>Lung was limp, his arms dangling at his sides. He was still bent over, and he might have fallen face first into the tar, if it wasn’t for the spear of iron that was impaling him through the heart. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2011/12/03/hive-5-9/ Excerpt] from [[Hive 5.9]]</ref> He was carried from the battlefield by [[Fenja]].
