The five were horrified by the sight of what was happening as they saw the monstrous Nicole choking Gwen out with a molten mandible claw down her throat.

Amber was the first to snap out of the shock and charges up red electricity and fires it at Nicole, knocking her off Gwen and out the window with a loud crash.

Skyler: (to Amber) What the hell was that?!

Amber: Whatta you mean?! She was choking Gwen out! What was I supposed to do?!

Dustin & Lincoln runs over to Gwen, who was shaking uncontrollably. Dustin checked her pulse as it was faint and getting worse. He also noticed her neck was slowly getting eaten away by Nicole's lava. Lincoln grabs her hand and forces it on his left hand, Gwen's power acted on it's own through instinct as it absorbed some of Lincoln's powers, making her wounds she suffered from Nicole to heal up good as news.

Lincoln removes Gwen's hand from his own as the pierce sister sat up with a loud gasp, Dustin held her as she was freaking out from her attack in a major panic.

Dustin: Gwen, Sis! You're okay now! It's okay... It's okay.

Gwen calms down as she fell into his hug, silently sobbing.

Skyler: She's still in traumatic shock from what happened.

Dustin: I know.

Amber: What's gotten into Nicole?

Reese: Volcanic Berserker.

Lincoln: (Looks outside) Guys, Nicole's headed for the city.

Amber: I'll keep an eye on Gwen Big Bro, you guys go after her.

Dustin: Got it.

Lincoln: Ronnie Anne is with her family visiting, Liz is in Romania, Lisa & her group are in space & the rest of my sisters are on an A-class mission in Georgia except Luna, Lori, Breanne, Jessica and Brooke. I'll call them on my communicator.

Skyler: Right.

Reese: Indeed. We find & contain Nicole.

They all head out while Amber stays with Gwen.

******

The thunder let out a loud boom throughout the sky as the storm was drizzling harder in the city while various screams were heard. The people of the city were running for their lives as large molten rocks were seen falling from the sky & striking random sections of the area, setting parts of the town ablaze. Cars were being blown up and people trying to run were injured, sent flying or killed as the possessed Nicole was in the midst of causing absolute destruction in the city of L.A.

Sirens were heard as the authorities have arrived but they were shocked by the sight of the possessed Nicole.

Possessed Nicole: Hehehehehehe.... Hahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!

Shaking off the shock and fear, the cops pulled out their guns and aimed them at the possessed pierce sister.

Police Officer: Okay, whatever you are... put your hands up and get down on your knees!

The possessed Nicole tilted her head to the left with a crooked grin as she stomps towards the authorities, flipping over or pushing away each vehicle in her way.

Police Officer: I-I mean it, get on your knees and put your hands up now!

But she was not doing it as the possessed Nicole was stomping towards them.

Police Officer: Ok you leave us no choice!

The police officers then open fire as they begin shooting at the possessed pierce sister, making her slowly stumble back with the bullets hitting her but she slowly looks at the police officers with a sneer as the bullets started to fall off her body, melting  away from the intense heat.

Possessed Nicole: Pathetic... my turn now.

Police Officer 2: What'll we do now?!

Police Officer 3: Our weapons aren't even harming this monster!

Police Officer: (On his communicator) Get me the S.W.A.T. unit on the double! Retreat for now men and get the civilians to safety!

The rest of the officers decided to turn around and quickly retreat, however, the possessed pierce sister slammed her fist into the ground, causing it to shake immensely as a wave of sharp molten rocks shot out of the road to stab each officer, burning them alive in the process as they draw their final breath with a scream of fear & agony.

The possessed Nicole laugh sadistically as she transformed further, slowly entering volcanic berserker mode. She begins to fire large spheres of lava through buildings and vehicles, causing explosions. The people in the possessed pierce sister's path weren't so lucky as they were engulfed by the monster's blazing onslaught.

Possessed Nicole: Hahahahahaha! I'm one step closer to my prime, burn it all... BURN EVERYTHING TO THE GROUND!!!

Intense heat energy erupted from her body as the possessed Nicole unleashed a massive tsunami of lava that was expanding to colossal proportions.

She was going flood the entire city and its people in hot magma, reducing everything & everyone in L.A. to ashes.

The civilians wasted no time as they all ran away from the threat as fast as they could while others were driving away in vehicles, the whole city was in a panic as the wave of death draws near ready to claim them all.

The colossal lava tsunami then engulfed the entire area as the possessed Nicole was laughing maniacally at her handiwork.

Possessed Nicole: And that's city number 17 reduced to ashes! Next off, the rest of the world-huh?!

The possessed Nicole's eyes widened as her attack melted away to reveal a colossal barrier of plasma and electric energy covering the town and its people. She then got a look at what's forming the barrier.... the culprits revealed to be Alpha Unit members Jessica and Brooke.

Possessed Nicole: Grrrrrrr...!!!

Brooke: Thanks for the charge up on my barrier, sis.

Jessica: No problem.

The civilians was shocked by the term of events but they were also relieved that their lives were saved.

Possessed Nicole: So the alpha's lackies want to play? Well, I'll be more than happy to oblige-

Possessed Nicole felt a hand on her shoulder as she turned around only to be punched into the ground from an azure fist, courtesy of Breanne. The monstrous pierce sister grunts in pain before turning to the agent with a growl.

Breanne: (cold glare) Stand down Nicole.

Possessed Nicole: 'Nicole' doesn't live here anymore!

She fires lava out of her mouth but Breanne dodged it, flipping backwards to avoid the attack. Breanne uses her gravity induced right hand to pull the possessed Nicole towards her, charging up her azure fist to strike. As she draws closer, Breanne aims her azure fist but the possessed Nicole counters her attack with a fist of her own, creating an immense force through the storm.

Possessed Nicole: Oh, this is gonna be fun-

She was kicked in the face by Skyler, stumbling back as she saw Skyler, Reese, Dustin and Lincoln joining Breanne followed by Jessica and Brooke.

Possessed Nicole: More moths to the flame....

Dustin: Lil sis, I know you're in there somewhere.

Skyler: C'mon, you're not gonna let some magma skull transformation tell you what to do, are ya?

Possessed Nicole: Oh can it ya cybernetic sh*t! I'm inches away from reaching my prime power and ready to unleash total destruction on the world, Nicole's days are numbered anyway! She'll soon fade away and be nothing more than a memory, I control this body now so I make the rules, Hahahahahaha!

Skyler: Then I guess we gotta beat the crap out of you to wake Nicole up.

Possessed Nicole: Oh go ahead and try... (crooked grin widens) please try....

The group got into their fighting stances as they were ready to fight but the thunder roared loudly as a large display of lightning flashed throughout the sky as a surge of it came down to strike the ground, quickly depleting to reveal Lori, Luna and a group of armored agents from the black ghost corps.

Lori: Sorry we're late.

Luna: I can never get to the way you travel by lightning sis, it's freaky.

Lori: (To the armored agents) by order of the BGC director, get these civilians to safety and get anyone who's injured to the medics & out of the crossfire.

The armored agents nodded as they take off to fix the damages and tend to the wounded. Lori then turns her attention to the possessed Nicole.

Possessed Nicole: I remember you... from our last encounter when I tried to burn that blasted comedian, you froze me completely that day!

Lori: So the transformation has it's own mind, hmm? Well I simply can't allow you to roam free and cause completely chaos.

Possessed Nicole: You were lucky last time but I won't fall for the same attack twice! You will die... You will all die!!!!

Lori: (cold glare) You want to fight? Fine but not here, you've already caused enough damage in this town, you won't worsen the casualties  (raised her right hand up) Let's take this fight somewhere else.

The lightning in the sky started to surge and spark up immensely as a wave of it came down and struck the group and the possessed Nicole, not shocking them but warping them up into the sky, going from a stream of currents through the storm within mere minutes.

*******

The flash of lightning then struck the ground, instantly depleting to reveal the group and the possessed Nicole in a mountain plain.

Lori: Much better.

Possessed Nicole: (transforming further) A perfect place for your graves. So.... who wants to be first?

The monstrous pierce sister stared at the group with malicious intent, choosing which one to target first. A smile most insane spread across her face as she stared at the first person and charged forward.

Possessed Nicole: Rraaaaahhhh!!!

She aims her molten fist at... Lori, who counters it with a crystallized fist.  The two glared at each other before swiftly exchanging blows with one another with both Lori and Possessed Nicole not breaking their focus on each other. They locked hands with each other in a test of strength until Lori kneed the possessed pierce sister in the jaw and backflipped away to inhale deeply & fires a huge blast of wind from her mouth, the possessed Nicole barely dodged it & fired a giant molten hand to grab Lori only for Luna to get in front of the attack as she counters it with her sonic wolf howl, breaking down the molten hand.

The Possessed Nicole felt a swift blur strike her in the face, then the midsection and all over her body as she stumbled back, seeing Reese running towards her to strike her.

Possessed Nicole: (tries to hit Reese but couldn't land a single blow due to his speed) Damn it, hold still you speeding bastard!!!

Reese: ....

He continues to attack the possessed pierce sister with quick strikes, angering her as she punches the ground to cause an eruption of lava, Reese saw this and jumps high to avoid it as the possessed Nicole smirks.

Possessed Nicole: Got ya!

She fires a molten claw at Reese, who braces himself as the attack hit him square on.

Reese: Crap...

Reese crashed into the mountains. The possessed Nicole was about to fire another molten claw but was blasted away by Skyler.

Skyler: (cybernetic blasters aimed at the possessed pierce sister) C'mon Volcanic B***h! Show me what you got!

She was firing red beams at the possessed Nicole, who was spiraling out of control with big blast holes forming through her body, causing an explosion.

Skyler: Yippee Ki Yay- (smoke clears to reveal the possessed pierce sister still standing) Motherf***er!

The wounds started to close up as the possessed Nicole cracks her neck, glaring at Skyler.

Possessed Nicole: Good... Good, piss me off even more! Rage makes me stronger!!!

She lunged at Skyler with a molten punch to the face.

Skyler: SH****************TTTT!!!!

Skyler was sent flying across the mountains. Lincoln appeared in front of the possessed Nicole and shot her with orange energy, the monstrous woman got angrier as she brought out a molten blade to chop Lincoln in half but the white haired man countered with an energy blade as they clashed with their weapons.

Lincoln: Nicole, listen to me! You have to snap out of it!

Possessed Nicole: She ain't coming back, you fool!

Lincoln evades a slash and fires bolts of energy while the monstrous pierce sister fires spheres of molten rocks at him. While this was going on, a plasma like substance wrapped itself around her ankle and yanked her up in the air.

Possessed Nicole: WHAT THE HELL?!?!

She sees that it was Brooke with a plasma rope.

Brooke: HAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!

Brooke started to spin the possessed Nicole around the area with her plasma rope, slamming her into the ground and slamming her into the rocks as she finally throws her into one of the mountains. Jessica charged up electricity while luna's claws glowed silver as both unleashed a combination attack of yellow lightning and silver bladed waves of air towards the mountain the monstrous pierce sister was thrown into, causing a devastating explosion.

Jessica: How's that?

Luna: She ain't down, dudes.

The smoke clears to reveal Nicole, now fully transformed into Volcanic Berserker mode.

Volcanic Berserker Nicole: ROOOOO-OOOOOOAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!

Luna: Oh...

Jessica: ...Sh*t.

She charges forward and nails Luna and Jessica with a double lariat.

Jessica: Agh!

Luna: Ugh!

The Volcanic Berserker Nicole was about to incinerate them but Reese swiftly grabs the two before the attack hits the ground, causing an explosion of magma. Reese appeared next to the group with Jessica and Luna.

Reese: You okay?

Jessica: Yeah, I'm fine.

Luna: Same dude.

The Volcanic Berserker Nicole was stomping out of the explosion and towards the group, Lincoln fires bolts of energy at her which made her stumble back but she kept coming, Skyler reappeared and assisted lincoln as she fired photon shots at the monstrous pierce sister followed by Brooke firing plasma beams at Volcanic Berserker Nicole, which was damaging her but at the same time it was making her angrier.

She sinks her claws to the ground and pulls out a giant rock and coats it in lava as she throws it at the group like it was a flying meteor. Lincoln, Brooke and Skyler got out of the way as Dustin didn't move, his right hand coated in iron as he pulls back a bit and delivers a solid punch to the lava rock, shattering it.

Volcanic Berserker Nicole: Try this on for size!!!

Volcanic Berserker Nicole continues to rip out giant rocks, coating them in lava  and throwing them at Dustin like flying meteors, Dustin coated both his arms in iron as he delivers a gatling of solid punches to each giant lava rock that was launched him, shattering them apart. Dustin lunged at Volcanic Berserker Nicole with a strong hit to the stomach but the monstrous pierce sister didn't back down as they delivered a molten punch to the stomach.

Dustin: Gaauh!

Volcanic Berserker Nicole: Is that all you've got?

Dustin: (smirks) Not even close.

The two then started hammering away at each other, landing a mix of molten and iron attacks to one another, creating immense shockwaves that shook the area.

Dustin: Give it up monster, you can't beat me!

Volcanic Berserker Nicole: I don't have to beat you, I just have to kill you!!!

The two kept going until volcanic berserker Nicole had enough and roared in rage, unleashing a volcanic explosion from her body, Dustin coated his entire body in strong iron as he braced himself for the attack.

BOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!

Soon, the explosion dimmed down to reveal a colossal molten crater where volcanic berserker Nicole stood in the middle of it while Dustin stood as well with his arms crossed but his shirt was tattered.

Dustin: I'm not gonna ask twice, release my sister, monster.

Volcanic Berserker Nicole: You're in no position to be giving me orders. You're quite strong but sooner or later, you're gonna make a mistake and that will be the last time!

Dustin: You made your choice then... Now Breanne!

Volcanic Berserker Nicole was suddenly pulled away from Dustin and slammed into the ground by the azure fist agent. Volcanic Berserker Nicole growled as she tries to grab ahold of Breanne to send her flying but Breanne reversed it to flip over into a headlock on her, hitting the monstrous pierce sister in the back repeatedly with knee strikes until volcanic berserker Nicole used her head to nail Breanne in the forehead.

She stumbled back as Volcanic Berserker Nicole gave her a few molten haymakers before charging up for a lava uppercut but Breanne saw this and evaded it to spin around to hit an azure fist to the face of the berserker, sending her crashing into the mountains.

Volcanic Berserker Nicole recovered but Breanne charged at her and delivers some heavy hits to the monster, the berserker fought back to even the odds, dishing out blows to each other until it reached a stalemate.

Breanne: Huff... huff...

Volcanic Berserker Nicole: Huff... huff... Hehehehe... you're not bad but this is where you die-

She was elbowed in the back of her head by Lincoln followed by a fist of stone to the stomach by Lori.

Volcanic Berserker Nicole: Gaauuhh... grrrrr!!! DIE!!!

Lincoln and Lori backed away from the volcanic wave as they fired a stream of orange and light blue energy blasts at her, the berserker took it head on as she unleashed a tidal wave of lava towards them. Lori saw this and immediately formed water from her hands to counter the lava tidal wave with her own tidal wave, colliding with it as the whole area was up in a body of smoke.

Lincoln and Lori were on guard, waiting for Volcanic Berserker Nicole to attack when out of the smoke comes a couple of flying lava rocks aimed at the two. Lincoln shot some away with his energy bolts while Lori formed a Crystal sword to slice them in half. The berserker finally came out of hiding and charged Lincoln and Lori, matching fierce blows to the two louds.

Lincoln: Nicole, you need to wake up!

Lori: You're letting your rage overwhelm you, this transformation doesn't have claim over who you are!

Volcanic Berserker Nicole: SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP!!!! NICOLE IS GONE, I'M THE ONE IN CONTROL!!!

Lincoln and Lori dodged the next attack and gain some distance as the rest of the group joined the two while volcanic berserker Nicole glared angrily at them with a snarl.

Jessica: Damn it!

Skyler: Yeesh, She really doesn't wanna give Nicole her body back.

Luna: You're telling me dudes, she's gone completely mad.

Reese: She's reaching critical of heat energy and volcanic proportions.

Dustin: We need to reach her somehow.

Brooke was silent but had an idea. Breanne noticed her sister's expression.

Breanne: You have a plan?

Brooke: Yeah, I'm gonna try to possess her and try to bring Nicole back to her senses.

Lori: Be careful.

Brooke: I will, never really possessed someone with two minds before so this should be a first.

Brooke then ran at Volcanic Berserker Nicole, who fires a molten claw at her but Brooke goes intangible to avoid it and flies directly at the berserker, entering her head as the monstrous pierce sister fell to the ground, clutching her head.

Volcanic Berserker Nicole: Ack! Guh! ROOOAAAAAARRRRRRR!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! GET OUT OF MY HEAD! GET OUT!!!!!

Skyler: What's going on here?

Lori: Brooke is a ghost type mutant, she's trying to possess the berserker so she can reach Nicole to bring her back to her senses. If it fails, we'll have to use necessary force to contain her.

Everyone nodded as Volcanic Berserker Nicole was roaring in pain.

******

Inside her mind, Brooke was wandering a ruined city in flames as she was searching for Nicole.

Brooke: Nicole! You out here?! Nicole!

Brooke flew through the entire city until something caught her eye, it was Nicole imprisoned in molten chains and unconscious with her eyes open. Brooke flew over to her, wincing at the sight of the condition Nicole was in.

Brooke: Nicole? C'mon girl you have to wake up, your berserker mode is running wild.

Nicole was silent.

Brooke: (grabs Nicole's face) Nicole, snap out of it! You need to grip on your volcanic berserker mode or else it will consume you until there's nothing left!

Nicole was still silent.

Brooke: Ok... I guess talking's not gonna work.

Brooke then starts to punch and kick nicole across the face and stomach to make her come to her senses, she even fired plasma blasts at her as she heard Nicole groaning. Brooke smiled as she was finally going to reach her but then a giant molten hand grabbed Brooke, stopping her attack.

Brooke: Agh!

She was turned to face a 50 ft tall Volcanic Berserker Nicole, who snarled viciously.

Volcanic Berserker Nicole: GET. OUT. OF. MY. HEAD!!!!!!!!!

She was going to squeeze the life out of Brooke, unaware that Nicole regained her consciousness as a red light engulfed by the area followed by screams.

******

Outside, we see the group on the defensive while Volcanic Berserker Nicole roared in agony as she forced Brooke out of her body. Breanne managed to catch her sister as she & Jessica check on her.

Brooke: Huff... huff... sorry, I was close to reaching her but she stopped me.

Breanne: You did your best.

Jessica: She's still berserk.

Skyler: Then it's plan B.

Volcanic Berserker Nicole looked at them with a deadly glare.

Volcanic Berserker Nicole: You think you can enter my mind and get away with it?! You're dead... (Claws heating up) You hear me?! You're all dead-

Crack!

Volcanic Berserker Nicole: Ack!

Everyone's eyes widened as Volcanic Berserker Nicole drove her own claw into her chest.

Volcanic Berserker Nicole: Ngh! Agh! What are you... Aaaagghhhh!!! (Clutches herself) Stop this you fool! How can you still be fighting?!?!?! (Molten skin begins to crack more) STOP IT! NONONONONO!!! I WAS SO CLOSE, YOU WERE WEAKENED, I WAS IN CONTROL!!! NO!! STOP IT! STOP IT! DAMN YOU!!! DAMN YOU!!! AAAAAAGGGGHHHHHH!!!

Red light engulfed her as she started to explode in fire.

Volcanic Berserker Nicole: AAAAAA-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Everyone braced themselves as the explosion took out a half a mile of the mountains. Soon, the explosion dimmed down to reveal the mountains reduced to rubble, rocks scattered and fires all over the area. A crystal barrier was shown as it begins to break, revealing Lori with her arms spread in front of Lincoln, Skyler, Reese, Dustin, Luna and the Alpha's Unit.

The group looked around for any signs of Nicole.

Luna: Nicole!

Skyler: Sis!

Reese: If you can hear us, answer.

Lincoln: Where are you?!

Dustin: (shocked) Oh my god....

Dustin found Nicole but... she looked worse for wear. Nicole was back to normal but she looked incredibly ill; her clothes were tattered, her skin was gray with cracks showing slight glowing yellow lights & darker lines around her bloodshot red eyes.

Nicole: (weakly) Big.... Bro...

Nicole fell to her knees and finally collapsed, hearing Dustin and the group call out to her as her consciousness faded into darkness.
