Synopsis

Max is in China trying to break into CyberDragon's headquarters, owned by a man named Chang, to steal a disk called Seraph, which contains dangerous technology. Without using his Max Powers he breaks into the place and gets into the vault, but then trips an alarm and must escape. He, Rachel and Chang's girlfriend Sonia, an undercover agent, then make plans the retrieve the disk. But then Max remembers an obligation to Laura, and morphs back into Josh to attend her brother's wedding rehearsal. He promises Laura he won't arrive late to the wedding. The next day, Max, in a suit, goes to Chang's ship as a courier for Senior Martinez (Berto) for an auction of the Seraph. Dread is also part of the auction, and his courier is Dragonelle.

Once on the ship, Max uses stealth mode to sneak into the vault to get the disk. Meanwhile Berto, Dread and another make bids for the Seraph. Berto unwittingly wins, and tells Max to get back to his room asap. Max makes it just in time, as Chang and his guards arrive to take him to get the disk. But then they realize that the transfer of money was fake, so they toss Max overboard. They didn't realize that he'd stolen the real disk and replaced it with a fake. On the docks nearby, Rachel is waiting to get the disk, but then is snatched by Dragonelle, who had been posing as Sonia in disguise. Dragonelle then poses as Rachel to fool Max (who is indeed fooled), but then Chang comes along and attacks before she can get the disk. Max uses his powers to fight them, while Rachel escapes from her captors. Once Chang is chased off, Max turns to see two Rachels, and the real one tells him to destroy the disk, which he does. Dragonelle then escapes, and Max highttails it to the wedding.
