All the students of the hero course fall from the bulletproof glass roof of the facility. Unfortunately they were too caught off guard to control the motion of their bodies, and they all were spread out across the area. Our focus shifts to Rex as he crash lands into the lake in the grasslands.
Rex, still unconscious from his stab wound, doesn't fight the water to keep himself floating and instead sinks lower and lower into the water.
While this happens, Rex is trapped into his mind, as he looks over his current situation.
"Damn it…" Rex thought.
"Even after all of that work, all that training, I still am a weak hero…" Rex thought.
"And now… I'm gonna die here" Rex thought as he sunk lower and lower.
Going back to when his day started, Rex thinks how he even got to this point, how his death day even started.
Rex was getting dressed for school, putting his tuxedo on and adjusting his tie.
When he went to grab his breakfast his mom woke up and pat him on the back.
"How'd you sleep?" Rex asked while putting his toast in the toaster.
"Well…" His Mom responded.
Ever since Rex enrolled into this school, the conversations with him and his mom were always this awkward. His mom noticed this and felt bad, but she never found the time to really address it.
Before she knew it Rex's toast was done.
"Well I'm off!" Rex said wrapping it in paper and grabbing his bookbag.
"Wait!" Rex's Mom said.
Rex looked back at his mom in confusion with the bread in his mouth.
"I know we haven't had a conversation in awhile, I'm so sorry that I haven't talked to you son!" His Mom said.
Rex looked at her with a serious expression.
"I just want you to know, I will always love and support your path in being a hero! Have a good day son-" Before she could finish, Rex wrapped his arms around his mom and smiled.
"I love you mom!" Rex said closing his eyes.
His Mom in response, wrapped her arms around him too.
Rex soon then opened the door and left for his commute.
Rex felt something in his fingers, he could move them, he was finally awake.
"I'm not gonna let the people who are counting on me down, what would they think if I died right now!" Rex thought to himself.
Rex felt a weird connection with the water though, specifically in his body.
"What's this?" He thought.
Rex's connection with his blood was meshing with the connection he had with water. It was a strange sensation.
Rex used this to harden the blood in his own body to close his wound.
"It still hurts, but I won't die…" Rex thought.
Rex looked at the slowly fading light of the sun and using his connection with water, he propelled himself straight up through the water.
In no time, Rex made it to the top of the water and onto dry land.
Rex coughed as he stood up on his feet.
Rex looked down at his stomach and seen the sturdy hardened blood.
He smiled as he looked at it.
"The love for the people around me is what got me this far, and that's what's gonna keep everyone alive too!" Rex said outloud.
Rex suddenly seen someone, rather, something, crash land towards him.
Rex was taken aback, and not in a good way, whatever this was isn't good.
Rex coated water into his hands and waited as a tall figure appeared from the dust cloud and started walking towards Rex.
"W-Who the hell are you!" Rex yelled.
The Tall guy smiled, he was wearing a black shirt and camo ripped pants and work boots, he had long hair and wearing a hockey mask.
"So you're the kid big boss allegedly killed, seems pretty alive to me!" He said nonchalantly.
"Answer the damn question!" Rex yelled.
The Guy sighed and conjured a arm cannon.
"Call me E-2, no point in not telling a dead man my name I guess" E-2 said as he fires a laser straight up.
Rex jumped out the way and the cannon created a huge explosion.
"I seen that before…" Rex thought.
"That weapon is a government weapon they use in the army, and he just got it out of thin air!" Rex thought.
Rex got up.
"I think I have a good idea of his power is" He said wiping off the mud from his face.
Rex pointed at E-2.
"You have to power to create any tool you want, don't you!" Rex yelled.
E-2 was a little shocked.
"Wow you're smarter than you look huh kid? Yeah that's basically it, but stuff like this takes a hell of a lot of stamina, even with the transmutations from big boss, I can at most create 5 things a day before I have to rest, oh and in the realms of reality obviously!" E-2 said.
"Nukes too?" Rex said worried.
"Kid do you know how big nukes are how am I gonna reasonably create something like that!" E-2 sighed.
Rex coated his feet in water and dashed towards him.
"He experimented on you too, fuck, this Transmutor guy is a piece of shit!" Rex yelled as he approached E-2 and threw a punch straight to his face.
E-2 Blocked the punch with his cannon and made it disappear.
E-2 then punched Rex away.
"So he has a inventory system too? This is gonna be tough!" Rex thought.
E-2 brushed his shoulder and looked at Rex.
"Water Huh? My perfect counter against stuff like technology, gotta be careful." E-2 said quietly.
Rex ran full speed at E-2 this time coating water into his arms.
Rex threw a right hook at E-2's ribs but E-2 quickly created armor on his body.
Rex adjusted his body and kicked him away.
His knuckle felt a blunt pain but he ignored it and rushed forward.
E-2 was still playing defensively, and created guantlets to match Rex's hand to hand combat. The Guantlet and Rex's arm that he propelled with water clashed and created a shockwave.
Rex using this opportunity, coated water onto his feet and dashed behind E-2, creating a Water Pulse and put it straight into his back.
E-2 got sent flying near the edge of the lake but landed on his feet, it did minimal damage but E-2 was impressed in his combat abilities.
E-2 smiled under his mask.
"Ive seen what you can do, I can see why big boss wants you gone, but it's time for me to kick it in high gear." E-2 says.
E-2 spawned in rocket boots on his feet and immediately appeared infront of Rex.
Rex was surprised but out of instinct he dodged the attack and axe kicked E-2 down.
E-2 immediately recovered and threw a flurry of punches.
Rex was able to dodge all of them and jump back but E-2 was faster and immediately sledgehammered him back into the ground creating a crater.
Rex coughed up blood and layed there but E-2 didn't relent and grabbed Rex and took him into the air.
Rex immediately reacted and full power punched E-2 in the face, cracking the mask.
E-2 got angry and threw Rex straight into the lake with a huge crash.
Rex didn't relent and stood on dry land out of the water.
"He got so angry when I hit his mask, what the hell!" Rex thought.
E-2 come down to the ground where Rex was.
E-2 was quiet as he realized Rex was still holding back.
"I don't get it, I tried everything to kill you, I can still tell you aren't using your full power, why?" E-2 asked.
Rex was a little quiet at this but found a response.
"You really think I would want to kill you, or any of those transmuted humans like you?" Rex said.
"You guys are human like me, I want to save you and the others, that's my job as a hero!" Rex said.
E-2 was content with this answer and took the mask off, he had bright blue eyes and a nice smile.
"Rex, as even though it's my job to kill you, I want to have fun with this fight, so don't be afraid, to go all out!" E-2 Said.
Rex smiled and connected the water to the lake.
E-2 flew towards him at high speeds but a bunch of chains sprout from the lake and wrap around E-2's Arms and legs and throw him into the air.
Rex used a burst of water below his feet and met E-2 in the air.
Rex and E-2 grabbed each other's faces and immediately started punching each others faces with a bunch of barrages.
The Blood in Rex's mouth had a small connection and Rex spit his blood straight into E-2's face, the droplets of blood formed into sharp spines that went into E-2's right eye.
E-2 lost vision but in it but he still was able to throw Rex straight into the ground.
Rex came back up and started skating away.
E-2 brought the cannon back and shot a beam straight into the ground that caught a huge explosion that Rex got caught in.
Rex rolled back but landed on his feet.
Rex watching the dust cloud created a plan.
E-2 came back down and seeing Rex's silhouette, dashed towards him and tackled him through the tree.
When he was finished, E-2 looked down and realized that all there was in his hand and realized there was only a bunch of water.
"A CLONE!?" E-2 yelled.
E-2 looked back and seen that, using the lake, Rex created hundreds of himself that covered up the entire area.
"You're outnumbered buddy!" They all said in unison.
E-2 spawned his Laser back into his arm and charging it into his maximum output cleared out rows of clones.
The remaining clones all charged towards E-2.
E-2 spawned his gauntlets and using them punched the clones into puddles.
The Clones all wrapped around E-2 and morphed into restraints that overpowered him.
"I-I can't move!" E-2 said straining trying yo get out of the bind.
Rex appeared from a tree that he jumped out of.
"I don't have enough water for my strongest technique, but, this should be enough!" Rex said.
E-2 could only watch as Rex formed the water on his hand into that of a spear or sword, and doing this Rex ended the fight for good.
"HYDRO SLICER!" Rex said cutting straight into E-2's side, gushing blood.
The clones disappeared turning back into water, making E-2 fall to the ground as blood falls.
"Shit!" Rex yelled running towards him.
Rex kneeled down trying to stop the bleeding but E-2 took his hand off.
"Rex, do you want to know what E-2 means?" E-2 said.
"Save your damn strength you idiot!" Rex said yelling.
E-2 continued anyway.
"Experiment Two"
"E-Experiment!?" Rex said.
"I was just a high school you know, going to school like you, but, unfortunately, I died in a accident" E-2 said.
Rex was quiet.
"Kid, don't feel responsible for my death, it's okay, it's… okay…" E-2 said as he passed on once again.
Rex got up from kneeling and looked up to the sky as tears were forming, but he sucked it up and wiped his face.
"So my theory was right, these were real people, that's why the green guy said to help him. It's all making sense!" Rex yelled.
Rex looked down.
"Now I have more reason to stop you Transmutor, E-2's death won't be for nothing, I swear it!" Rex vowed.
Rex immediately ran to the city.
"I need to find my friends, RIGHT NOW!" Rex yelled.
Meanwhile in the forest area, Yui and Sabrina both found themselves on the defensive against a hoard of transmuted humans.
Yui sent a blast of sound that injured three of them while Sabrina grew more aggressive, stabbing five of them with her shadows.
Yui was getting a little concerned in her actions.
"Sabrina aren't they still human!?" Yui said.
"Shut up…" Sabrina said.
"Wait what?" Yui asked.
"Shut up!" Sabrina yelled punching Yui in her mouth.
Yui was holding her mouth as she stared at Sabrina with a fear filled look.
"Just stand back and keep your mouth shut, these disgusting creatures need to be eradicated!" Sabrina said as she charged at the transmuted humans.
She sliced half a dozen in half and created a buzz saw that shredded through a bunch of the creatures and the trees.
The buzz saw was charging towards Yui on the ground and she couldn't defend herself.
Yui braced herself but before she could get sliced, Orion came to her aid and created a force field that stopped the buzz saw in its tracks.
Yui looked at Orion and was shocked.
"I-It's you!" Yui said.
"Formal introductions later, get up!" Orion said.
Yui got up and stood by him.
"What's going on with Sabrina!?" Yui asked.
Orion looked at her and explained.
"When people with powers are exposed to their element, it can bring a increase in its power, however, it can be too much for a person to handle, I think that's what's happening right now!" Orion said.
"The Sun unfortunately isn't touching this part of the facility, so Sabrina is being overwhelmed by her power" Orion said.
"So does that mean-"
"Yes, we have to fight her to calm her down, I don't want to do it, but it's what it's gonna have to come to." Orion said.
Yui gulped and put her fist up.
"If it's to help her, then I'm ready!" Yui said.
Orion doesn't see any fear in her face.
He smiles and gathered mass into his hand.
"I feel the same way, now let's do what a hero's job is, and save her!" Orion said as both him and Yui run towards her.
Meanwhile
The Transmutor and The small masked person stood atop the mountain area.
"So what's our next line of action?" The Person said.
"Patience, E-2 and E-3 should be more than enough to handle these kids, we'll just wait awhile until they're done with the job!" The Transmutor explained.
"I see what your saying, fine then, we'll wait-" Before the person could finish, they were punched with a fast powerful fist and sent flying off the mountain.
The Transmutor was caught by surprise and quickly looked back.
"So you stand on top of a mountain, waiting for others to do your work while you spectate? That means you can't be that strong." A familiar voice said.
The Transmutor smiled.
"Well ain't that funny! The number 2 hero wants my head!" The Transmutor said.
"Want your head? Nah I don't want to kill you, however…" Roughouser said flash stepping infront of The Transmutor.
"I'm gonna make you want to die, for harming my students!" Roughouser yelled punching The Transmutor, sending him straight into a building and kicking off the most important fight of their lives as of today.
This will determine THE FATE OF SUPERHUMAN TECH.
