Intake spat up a dangerous amount of black blood as he finally crash-landed somewhere on the other side of the city. His body had practically become sludge, stone and metal dripping from his flesh, and his arms had come twisted off.
The world spun, and the villain found himself trapped under layers of rubble from the building he had been rammed through. It was some skyscraper that had shattered on impact and was now collapsing on top of him. Despite having been hit so hard that he basically exploded, that was nothing compared to the burning within him.
That spot the girl had touched was still ignited in fire, the flames eating away at his flesh and crawling up his body. The man felt more of his blood pour out of him as what was left of one of his right arms began to bubble up. "I- I'll kill that bitch!" It hadn't been personal before, but now it was. He wasn't going to just kill her because she was a hero. Now he was going to kill her, everyone that girl cared for, her family, and all of her friends, in the most brutal way he could think of. "She's dead!"
From the bubbling palm, something began to tear its way out of Intake's body. Something the villain had been holding onto. There was one good thing about this team-up with Zoo that Intake liked. Being merged with the villain group meant he got to use some of their stuff.
Green Wolf had once attacked a Wandering Coin base and brought back a sample of the new drug going around the block. Intake himself had been given a sample of this new drug by Ears. He had even taken loads of it before the mission today as a way to bulk up, yet that girl had bested him toward the end. What came out of his palm wasn't the same drug flowing through his veins.
That sample Green Wolf had collected had been given to the second smartest man in the world. Harrison Avalon. It hadn't taken Avalon long to make a few... Improvements to it. Everyone else had been too scared to take it due to fear of 'side effects'. They were all cowards. A vial of the liquid dropped out of the center of Intake's palm and fell into the villain's awaiting mouth!
Intake swallowed the entire vial, glass and all, crunching down on it and swallowing the contents within. Instantly he felt the effect, and he began to laugh as his destroyed body started to expand and mutate even further.
The slaughter had only just begun.
Meanwhile...
"Are you okay?"
Hope made several awkward gurgle sounds as she stared up at the golden woman that held onto her. She was in the arms of the Victorian. The number one hero was here in Oleander and holding her! She was practically a drooling mess.
The Victorian frowned. "Oh dear. Did you hit your head?"
"N- No!" She squeaked out. "I'm just a little... Wow. Dreams do come true."
"Huh?" The woman tilted her head to the side.
She held Destiny close to her as she stared up at the number one hero. The Victorian was flawless. This was her second time seeing the hero in person, but it was her first time actually being so close to her. They weren't in the hospital anymore. They were actually above it, with the woman carrying her in bridal style.
The Victorian slowly began to float down toward what was left of the hospital's roof and set her down. "I healed your body, so you should be able to still move." The golden woman noted casually.
As soon as her feet touched the roof, she noticed the state that she was in. Her outfit was even more of a destroyed mess, she'd seriously have to get Myth to get her a new one, this suit was basically just riddled with holes now. Despite how bad her costume looked though, she felt fine. Her shattered hands had fixed themselves and popped back into place, and all the bruises or cuts she got in her battle were gone. It had been as if Paragon had healed her or something. Even Destiny looked a little better, the bird's body having been healed by the golden light that gushed out of the Victorian.
