Anthony and Bill stood across from one another in the warehouse, ready to end the pointless fighting.

"He's comin, Bill, and you know what's gonna happen." Anthony nervously stated.

"We'll be ready, won't we?" Bill replied, picking up the sound of leap after leap a mile out from them.

"I'm sorry for being an asshole." Anthony apologized, hand on Bill's shoulder.

"No, if I hadn't kept pursuing you and your brother, this wouldn't have happened. I'm the one who should apologize."

Before they could go on, a thundering boom sounded, and the door in front of them was ripped off its hinges. In the doorway stood Reese Morris, whose eyes glowed blue, and was angry.

Reese growled, eyes glowing, heavily muscled, walking towards Bill

"Reese, listen to me..." Bill placed his hands up, only to be swatted away into a crate.

Reese shifted focus to Anthony, who attempted to seize him with a psychic assault.

Due to the alien stimulant, Reese was able to repel the mental assault, and returned the favor, causing a nosebleed for Anthony.

Anthony tried to throw a punch, to which Reese caught. He then threw Anthony backward.

"Where is she?!" Reese howled.

Anthony's eyes widened...in fear. He wasn't used to this, but knew that Reese wanted answers, and wouldn't stop until he got them.

Anthony's hands began to glow, and he charged Reese with multiple energy attacks.

While the attacks were multiple and small, Reese shrugged them off, and spin-kicked Anthony into the wall.

"That bitch is gonna PAY!" Reese howled, and before he could continue his assault, he was blasted with a lightning bolt.

Bill flew in, and with conjuring another bolt in his hands, punched Reese out of the warehouse.

"Anthony, get her out of here. I'll handle this." Bill gestured.

"No. You the one with powers of Zeus, YOU get her out. I'll handle him." Anthony's eyes glowed.

Bill, instead of arguing, nodded and ran back into the warehouse.

Anthony then began to hold back an enraged Reese with energy barriers spawning from his hands.

In a split second call, Anthony manipulated the fields, and snapped Reese's arm.

Reese howled not in pain, but rage. Instead of holding back, Reese snapped his arm back into place, and threw punch after punch at the leader of the Rogues.

Anthony could not believe that Reese was capable of this. But as soon as he caught a glimpse of Reese's glowing eyes, he remembered what Reese told him, as well as news reports from last year; he had taken that alien beserker drug, and was nigh-unstoppable.

Reese managed to land a solid right hook onto Anthony's jaw, feeling it connect with his fist. The bone nearly shattered against his punch, but Anthony blasted him at the last moment possible.

Reese fell back, still full of rage. He then leapt up, and lunged at Anthony, who hoisted a wooden crate, hurling it at the rabid Reese, who smashed the crate with his fist.

Reese then tackled Anthony, and with spontaneous rage, drove a foot onto his right knee, feeling it shatter under his force.

Anthony screamed in agony, only to be met with Reese's hands wrapped around his throat.

Before Reese could squeeze any harder, a lightning bolt inpacted Reese's chest. Reese fell back, the jolt of electricity stunning him.

Bill then channeled lightning into himself, and hit Reese with a 100,000 volt blast from the heavens. The power caused Reese to fall unconscious.

Anthony looked up at Bill, then over to Reese. He saw Reese's eyes open, glowing blue and full of ragE.

Reese sprung up from the floor, and with a mid-level spin kick, sent Anthony flying into a wooden crate.

Bill came up behind the berserk Reese, hands on his shoulders ready for a near lethal electric shock, hoping to end Reese's brutality, and hopefully understand how he did it.

Reese grabbed Bill's hands, and flipped him over his head into the ground. He then took his left leg, and with all his power, crushed Bill's arm.

Bill used his free hand and grabbed his now mangled arm, screaming in pain.

Reese stepped over Anthony, and headed upstairs, finding Amber in an office, along with Eli, the only Rogue who could match him in strength.

Eli charged him, only to be met with Reese grabbing his arm, breaking it.

Within seconds, Reese kicked the Inhuman's legs out from under him. He picked his head up off the floor, and with a twist of his hands, snapped Eli's neck.

All Amber could do was watch in horror as their friend showed what he was truly capable of, albeit she was aware of the fact she was the reason he was in his current state.

"Reese, buddy, I'm sorry-"

"FUCK YOUR SORRY!" Reese howled in a deep, inhuman tone. "YOU KILLED HER, YOU'LL PAY!"

Reese stepped closer to Amber, who used her telekinetic abilities to levitate Reese off the ground.

Reese quickly retaliated with a burst of psychic energy, courtesy of the alien combat drug in his system boosting his powers.

Blood began to flow from Amber's nose, and she dropped the mad hero.

Reese then picked her up off the floor, one hand on her throat. He began to squeeze, applying more strength the more she struggled.

Amber's eyes turned red, gasping for air as Reese crushed her windpipe.

"Reese...I'm...I'm sorry...."

All Reese could do was apply his full strength, and he felt the slight moment before her vertebrae would pop. In a brief moment of reason, he dropped her body to the ground before he could kill her, the Beserker drug wearing off.

As he dropped the now lifeless Amber, the Madorian Berserker drug completely wore off, his sanity coming back to him.

The first thing that greeted Reese's eyes were the corpses of Amber and Eli.

He dropped to his knees, sobbing.

What the fuck did I just do?
