"WHAT!!"
"Oh crap, I hate the fireman. He killed the best thing that has ever happened to us." The boys yelled.
" I'm glad she's gone." One of the girls spoke. " She was becoming a great distraction to the boys. They weren't learning anything."
" I'm gonna put some dirt in your eye." One boy jumped from his seat and went for the girls neck. The rest of the class surrounded them and started cheering on while Mr. Alex and the principles watched on. They weren't paid enough to care.
" Damn bro." CJ said. " Sucks knowing that people hate your guts, huh?"
"Yeah, it's okay." Max said with his head hung. " They say that because they don't know what she was going to do to us, to this town."
" One of the things that come with being a hero of some sort." Rin said. " The ones who mock will will be the same crying out for your help when they need you. That's when they'll start seeing your value."
"Whatever. I don't care about what a bunch of testosterone driven boys say. We'll continue being the Cold Flame Gang, whether they like it or not." In reality, Max was really bother by the comments some of his classmates. It was bad enough that he killed Xin but now that he was being mocked for it, he just became angrier, both at himself and the classroom boys.

"Yo, dude, chill. We can feel you heating up." CJ warned.
" Excuse me, I need some time alone." Max grabbed his school bag and left the classroom. As he was leaving, the school bell rung so all the students were allowed to have a thirty minute break. As the students were walking around, they were only talking about the fireman. It was fireman this and fireman that, all they spoke about was the fireman. A few of them spoke well about him but the rest were having negative discussions about him.
" Man, I hate the fireman. That guy couldn't even keep those mutants away from our house. That mutant chick dug her large arms into our apartments' wall and now, my dad has to work even harder to have it fixed."
" Yeah bro. That fool's exploding blow sent debris flying straight into our family car. Now we won't have enough money to fix the car and pay the bills this month."
Max was greatly angered by their comments but he also tried to understand why they were acting that way. Still, it hurt him so much so he decided to go to a place where no one could find him. After making sure that no one was watching him, Max used his fire walk and ran to the only place no one went, the Four Armed Gang warehouse.
" These damned people, they couldn't cave themselves from Pharaoh and Xin and when I do, they're ungrateful. I hate this town, I hate this town....I HATE THIS TOOOOWWWNNN."

Max's body started lighting up as his skin caught fire internally. His red hair literally turned into fire and his face became horrifyingly scary. The clothes on his back got burnt and his already slightly large body grew bigger.
" AAAAAARRRRGGGGGHHHHHHH" Fireballs spread out from Max's body and set everything they came in contact with on fire.

" I HATE THIS SYSTEM. I WISH I NEVER GOT IT, AAAAARRRRGGGGHHHHH"
FRS 300....400
Max's body started floating up slowly as fire surrounded him. He was about six feet in the air and a fire tornado was right under him. " I'LL BURN THIS TOWN DOWN IF I HAVE TO. I BURN IT DOOOOWWWNN."
" MAX!!!" A familiar voice called out. The angry mutant looked to see who it was, only to see Moka, Phoenix, CJ, Rin and Sue. Sue, who didn't have fire mutant abilities, had to keep a very safe distance away so that she wouldn't get burned. " WHAT DO YOU WANT? GET AWAY FROM MEEEE!!!" The fire tornado spread out and nearly engulfed Max's friends so Moka jumped in and had it engulfed with her own blue flame. " Max's that's enough." Moka's body started lighting up and her locks turned into blue flames. Like Max, she was in her fire rage state but she didn't have to get upset in order to achieve it.
"Max, get a hold of yourself. You can't let a couple of lousy comments get you down. Your our leader for goodness' sake."
"YOU DON'T GET IT. YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT ITS LIKE TO FEEL THIS WAAAAAYYYYY." Max's tornado started to spread out again but Moka shot out her own but barely manged to hold it back.
" Bro please, you don't have to go through this alone. We're here for you." CJ said. " We're here for you." Max's angry, red glowing eyes caught sight with CJ, who for once was having a look of empathy. Max stopped frowning and started to calm down. His hair returned to normal and his large fire tornado started to slowly disappear. Max's body descended and he returned to his normal state.
" I'm sorry guys," Max apologised. " I...I shouldn't have let my emotions get the best of me."
" It's okay bro but first, let's get you some clothes." CJ said as he pointed at Max's exposed 'area'.
" Moka, how come your not....you know, in your birthday suit." Moka blushed heavily at CJ's question and ran out of the warehouse. Speaking of the warehouse, it was completely burnt. What was once a lovely building was nothing but a large empty room with smoke rising from all of the burnt stuff that was in it.
" I can't believe I did this." Max said. " Did I really say I'd burn this town down?"
" Yeah, you did." CJ said as he handed Max his jacket. " Just make sure you don't actually do that, okay." A few minutes later, Moka returned with a fresh pair of clothes for Max but she didn't make eye contact with CJ at all. Her chocolate brown skin was seriously red and it made CJ think she was sick...or something.
" Did you really ask her why her clothes didn't burn?" Max asked.
" I don't know, man. Flames were burning, sparks were flying and emotions were high. Let's just...go to school and forget this whole thing happened."
" Yeah, whatever." Feeling a little better, Max, CJ, Rin and Sue returned to school while Moka and Phoenix returned to the mansion. Unknown to them, a certain, white haired man was coming out from the back room of the warehouse. Damion was in the warehouse earlier, looking for clues on the fireman when Max came in and had his emotional break down. Before the whole thing happened, he quickly got his phone and recorded the whole scene right before Max's body was lifted into the air.
" This is good news for me. Bruce is going to be so pleased. Goodbye forever....Max."
