Healy and Zeke teamed up to find Yn, following the sounds and sights of large battles only to be several steps behind.

Upon noticing the large lightning show, head toward the beach.

Zeke: Are you sure we can take him on?

Healy: N-no... But if we have confidence and play our cards right. Then maybe.

Zeke: Maybe isn't inspiring...

Healy: We've both gotten so much stronger... It's time to prove that we can be heroes too!

Zeke: R-right! To show everyone what it means to go even further beyond!

Healy: I hope Fred doesn't hear us say that... He'll get SO mad.

(Meanwhile....)

After getting stabbed by S.A.L.E.M, Yn quickly shifted into his recovery style to heal his wounds, however, the synthetic life form wasn't going to allow it.

She leaped towards Yn, keen to quickly exterminate him. And after the "Storm Parade" along with him in the middle of healing, Dan was sluggish to dodge.

(CLANG)

However, Fred was quick to knock away S.A.L.E.M.

Yn: Huh? How did you get in front of me so fast?

Fred: How did you let this freak stab you?

Yn: I was focused on other things...

Fred: Hmph! Treat your wounds, then watch the difference in our power.

Yn: I can still-

Lisa: No you don't!

Dragging him away, the others stand beside Fred.

Darcy: That lady is some kind of villain... Let's take her out quickly.

Fred: I can handle her alone.

Darcy: Fred-

Fred: Watch and learn.

S.A.L.E.M: Priority Beta trumps, priority Delta. You shall-

(CLANG)

Fred closed the distance between him and S.A.L.E.M, near instantly.

Fred: You shall fall by my hands. "Royal Strike".

(CLANG)

Backhanding S.A.L.E.M, Fred caused the synthetic lifeform to splat across the glass beach.

Crystal: How did he do that? I thought that pompous jerk could only block and deflect.

Darcy: He's learned to use his Quirk offensively.

Darcy: Fred is using the kinetic energy he's stored up to launch himself and boost his attacking power.

Sunny: I see... He has taken the initiative upon himself.

Kyle: Did he just kill that woman?

Fred:(glares)

S.A.L.E.M began to levitate and spin, attracting all the synthetic substance that was splattered across the beach, reforming her.

S.A.L.E.M: Adaptation complete.

(CLANG, CLANG)

Testing if he could strike S.A.L.E.M again, in the same way, Fred found that his hand cleaved straight through her before he made it halfway through the damage he did was already healed.

This reminded Fred of Maple.

S.A.L.E.M: Begone.

They attempted to stab Fred but the attack was blocked with ease.

Fred: You're a machine.

S.A.L.E.M: Correct.

Fred: Then there's no reason for me to hold back.

He flicks his finger into a small forcefield he created, which reflects it into another forcefield which in turn reflects into another forcefield.

This repeated again and again above his index finger, the clangs becoming increasingly more louder and stronger.

Fred: Perhaps you noticed, but I just flicked a grain of sand, and am now bouncing it back and forth.

Fred: It's speed and power doubling with each bounce.

Fred: Which of course... Means I'm generaling plenty of energy.

S.A.L.E.M: Calculating...

Fred: This healing nonsense of yours... I'm already sick of it. So tell me.

Fred: What would happen if I knocked you into space?

S.A.L.E.M: Calculations complete. Answer...

S.A.L.E.M: Give it your best shot, child.

Fred: Wrong answer.

Fred: "Royal Decree"!!

(CLAAAANG)

The glass beach shattered as Fred knocked S.A.L.E.M far into the sky, into the clouds.

Fred: Hmph. Simple as that.

Fred: Now... Yn! I demand a fight!

Yn: Yeah, sure, just give me a-agh!?

Lisa: Stand still!

Yn: The wound should be closed like... Yesterday! Why isn't it healing?

Looking at his wound, Yn puts his fingers in.

Lisa:(gags)

Lisa: Okay, fuck you. I'm going to go vomit...

Darcy: Yn!!

Pulling out his fingers, Yn finds silver covering his fingers. Silver which began eating at his flesh.

Yn: Uhhh... Uh-oh.

Currently, his healing style was stopping this synthetic substance from killing him from the inside. But the cost of keeping it active, and the hole in his stomach was not going to let him stay this way.

Yn: Okay... I think I'm going to need a rain check on that fight, Freddy...

He falls onto his back.

Yn: By the way... Would any of you happen to have the power to neutralize a flesh-eating silver thing-a-ma-bob?

Yn: Or a sandwich... I could go for either or...  Actually, just the sandwich.

The six gather around Yn. Taking note of the silver on his finger and in his wound.

Kyle: The nurse could probably heal him.

Crystal: Would he make that long?

Fred: As if talking about that would help his chances.

(Crunch)

The seven turn to find Healy and Zeke failing to sneak.

Fred: Ah. Problem solved. If the idiot dies we can just have him bring him back to life.

Yn:(dizzy) Immortality is mine...!

Healy: What's going on?

Noticing Yn's state, Healy and Zeke rush over.

Healy: What happened!?

Fred: Liquid metal robot woman.

Trent: Yeah, why was it a woman?

Dracy: We have more pressing issues.

Healy: Stand back, I've been working on my medical techniques.

Lisa: Hold it! There's some kind of silver liquid that's eating at his flesh. If you get any of that on you...

Healy: I'll be fine!

Taking a shard of glass from the beach, Healy pricks all ten of her fingers, creating small blood tendrils, which she quickly uses to try and remove the metal liquid coating his organs.

(Krackakoom)

Thunder roared in the distance.

Yn: But seriously... Can I get something to eat? Like a shark!

Zeke: Is that allowed?

Yn: I don't see a sign that says "Don't eat the sharks". And if they attack you, it's basically self-defense.

Lisa: You seem fine right now, all things considered.

Healy: I'm feeding him nutrients through my blood. Like an IV drip.

(Crakooom)

Kyle: A storm is brewing...

Fred, Lisa, and Darcy turn to the thunderstorm sky. There was something wrong. The lightning that flew out, did so in unnatural angles.

And when it did, it created strange shadows.

Lisa: Hey.... Do guys think Cumulus went into the clouds? You know, to make sure we didn't destroy the island?

Darcy: And if something humanoid happened to fly into the air, he'd probably catch them.

Fred:(grumbles)

(Wooosh-SLAM)

A metal sphere fell from the sky. This was Cumulus, whose armor was melted into a prison to hold him in his gas state.

(KRACKAKOOOOOM)

From the sky, with lightning striking her, was S.A.L.E.M, who floated down.

S.A.L.E.M: Priority Alfa detected. Healy Divitch!

Healy: Huh?

S.A.L.E.M: You are coming with me. Resistance is futile. All who stand in my way will be eliminated.

Fred: I'd like to see you try!!

(CLANG)

Flinging himself up towards S.A.L.E.M, Fred attacks her but this time, instead of hitting a body like Maple's, his foot goes through a body like Cumulus's.

With S.A.L.E.M's priorities changing, she, in her gas-like state, swoops down to try and grab Healy.

Healy:!

Crystal:(yawn)

With a stomp, Crystal surrounds S.A.L.E.M in a diamond-hard crystalline pyramid.

Crystal: That should hold them-

(WHAM)

Her pyramid cracked.

Crystal:!?!

Crystal: What the hell is that thing!? How is it cracking my crystals just like that!?

Lisa: Tch!

Creating several Lisa clones, Lisa Prime has them carry Yn.

Lisa: Take Yn, and go! We'll hold her off!

Healy: Why does it want me?

Darcy: We'll figure that out later...

Healy: But, I can fight too!

Lisa: But Yn needs you right now.

Healy:!

Healy: Right... Stay safe!

Healy, Yn, and the Lisa clones runoff.

Fred: Hm? You're staying?

Zeke: I will use this Quirk of mine to be a hero... Just watch, I won't hold you back!

Fred: You better not.

(SHATTER)

TO BE CONTINUED......

(Bio Update)

*Fred's King's Guard; By using his quirk differently, Fred has developed a new style of fighting that allows him to attack with great power, and move with great speed.

His all-around boost in power puts him on the same level as Yn.

*Healy's Blood Quirk; Her control is much greater, along with her medical expertise.

But her combat is far from lacking...
