The sun was setting down and everyone in Raid Town was either closing up their shops or heading out for the night. Some young adults were heading to the famous Cold Flame club while others chose to go to the more expensive clubs outside the town. Max, CJ, Rin, Sue, Moka, Benjamin and Archer were at the back of their warehouse preparing themselves for their 'takeout.' Moka, Archer and Benjamin had to be fitted in for new masks and jackets but unfortunately, Phoenix didn't make for them yet.
" Hey, has any of you seen Phoenix today?" Max asked.
" The last time I was with him was after he gave me a ride to school." Rin replied. Max couldn't shake off the feeling that Phoenix was up to something but he had other things to worry about. " Okay guys, you know the plan. I'll draw them out and the rest of you, make it look like they're attacking you."
" Got it." With that said, the Cold Flame Gang spread out to where they were supposed to be...according to the plan. Max ran all the way to Pharaoh's warehouse and stood at its large doors. " Here goes nothing."

Pharaoh and Xin were in their warehouse, counting all the stuff they looted from last night when suddenly, a loud bang came crushing down their warehouse's doors. " What the...." Pharaoh and Xin, who still had their masks on, wondered who was brave enough to do such a dubious thing but the second their eyes saw the mask of the one responsible for what just happened, they instantly knew who it was.
" FIREMAN." Pharaoh grabbed the nearest object close to him and threw it at Max, who easily dodged it. " Not only did you two come here and take over our town but it turns out you are also the ones who have been robbing the stores. Now I definitely won't feel wrong for this."
" GET HIIIIM!!!!" Xin yelled and Pharaoh responded by stretching out his four arms in order to catch the fireman.

Max slowly but steadily ran towards the town's center, making sure that the two mutants were following him. Pharaoh was sprinting after him while Xin was jumping from building to building like a crazed gorilla. " Everyone, get in position. I'm heading your way now." Pharaoh got really close to Max and tried to grab him but yet again, he dodged and just kept running. " You want me, come and get me...freak."
" Grrrr, now you've done it now." Pharaoh started grunting and puffing heavily, making his entire body grow larger. His steps became so heavy that they left holes in the ground. Back in the middle of the town, people could hear large thuds heading their way. The ones inside peeped through their windows while the ones outside took cover in the nearest buildings they could find.
"What is that sound?"
" I'm not sure, but whatever it is, it sounds angry."
" Look, over there." The people could see their masked hero running past their direction and they wondered what he was running from. Suddenly, they saw two four armed mutants running after the fireman, making them panic. " Everyone RUUUUUN." Like frightened zebras, the people of Raid turn begun running around senselessly. A few of them were trumpled by Pharaoh so the fear increased in all of them.
" EVERYONE, HEAD INSIDE !NOW!" Max ordered. The citizens didn't care if it was their building or not, they just zoomed into any place they could seek cover from. " Guys, now."
" No where else to run fireman." Pharaoh taunted.
" End him Pharaoh."
" My pleasure." Pharaoh raised both his left arms and prepared a heavy punch. When he was about to throw them out, two fire whips wrapped themselves around his arm as they made a sizzling sound.
" Aaaargghh." Pharaoh used both his right arms and tried to grab the fire whips, which suddenly disapperead. " Did you seriously try to touch fire?" Rin asked. " Just how much of an idiot are you."
" Another one," Xin said, acting rather shocked to see another person with the fireman's powers. " It's a girl. Take care of the fireman. I'll handle this witch myself."
" Don't forget meeeee." CJ ran straight into Xin, making her fall over. He then activated his fire arms skill and punched the day light out of Xin. After Max had turned CJ and Rin into fire mutants, he taught them everything he knew, from his firearms to the fire walk skill. Since whoever is turned is almost as strong as the one who turned them, CJ and Rin were just as deadly as Max was.
" How...do you...like me now." CJ said as he repeatedly punched Xin's mask.
" I like you this much." Xin raised her lower right arm and went for CJ's head. CJ raised his arms just in time to absorb the attack. Xin's punch was so strong that CJ's body was sent flying a few feet in the air. " A crap...that hurt."
" There's plenty more where that came from." Xin ran toward CJ and started swinging her fists around. Rin used her whips again and caught Xin's arms from the back. " Oh no you don't, crazy lady." Xin sneered and pushed her bound arms forward, causing Rin to get lifted in the air.
"I'm going to enjoy ending both of you."
----------------------------
" So fireman, no that you've got two more buddies, does it make you think you can take me on?" Pharaoh mocked.
" I can handle you by myself."

Max activated his firearms and took a defensive position. Pharaoh jumped up with al his arms raised and attempted to slam Max. Max, who had practiced with the video's his system offered, ducked at the right moment and got behind Pharaoh. Max prepared a special attack he learnt from the video's while Pharaoh was distracted. He got in a squating position, twisted his upper body a little and activated his firearms on one fist.
[Fire walk activated]
Max gathered all his energy and thrusted his body towards Pharaoh. His fire fist landed on Pharaoh's six pack, causing a loud bang. Xin, Rin,CJ and everyone around quickly turned their attention to the loud bang. Pharaoh's body could be seen in a pile of rubble on the ground. His mid section had a large scorch mark on it and it looked like he passed out.
