By the time we got to NYC there was a whole patch of black hair in my head. The rest of my hair had gone back to my natural afro but was still white. "I still can't believe it", Cherry laughed. "I know right... I mean, I did miss my old hair". "Well, your wish came true", she chuckled. We got off the plane and went to the hotel the Professor had gotten for us. We had to relocate Bea and eventually found her. The next day we went to get her. She was in an abandoned area, hiding among the people. We found her at a liquor store. "Long time no see", I smiled. "Like the new hairdo". "Thanks... you know what I'm here for right"?
She stood up and threw her vodka bottle on the ground. Clover and Blade stepped up. "Wait guys, I need to see how much strength I have left". She attacked me and I dodged all of her hits. "I've still got that", I thought. I went in for a punch and got her in the chest. Instead of knocking the wind out of her she laughed. "Where's all the strength you had before"? She grabbed my fist and threw me on the cold concrete. I started to have a raging headache. I grabbed my head and groaned. "That's only from a small bit of Bromine, you're pathetic", she laughed.
I struggled to get up. I screamed as I ran up to her, trying to punch her. She kicked me and I coughed up blood. "Blitz"! I fell on the ground and Clover ran up to her. He punched her in the nose and she fell back, grabbing her face. He roundhouse kicked her and she fell on the ground. She kicked him in the chest and he fell back coughing. "My eyes", he shouted. "That's what Bromine does buddy... too bad". Cherry and Blade went up to her, punching her in both eyes at the same time. "My eyes are on fire", she shouted. They grabbed onto her hair and started releasing acid onto her scalp, that way it went into her skin.
"I'm sure red acid's no fun", Blade smirked. "Finish her off Lorenzo". He grabbed onto her throat and let out Actinium until there was a red ring around her neck. He pulled out his gun and shot her point blank. "She was a hard fight", Clover sighed. "Well... she won't be harming anyone ever again". We went back to the hotel and told the Professor about my condition. He suggested that I not work anymore missions for the time being. But in the meantime he sent everyone else to fight a Carbon toxin. I tagged along with them but couldn't go to the main fight.
I was sitting in the hotel waiting, feeling useless. I got a call and picked up quickly. "Freyaj"? Her voice was cutting in and out. "B-Blitz- help us"! Then the call ended. Luckily I knew where they were supposed to be. I saw that all the cars were gone. "Dammit"! I started to run. I realized I couldn't make it in time, even being as fast as I was. I couldn't use all my stamina. I punched through a car window and unlocked it. I got inside and hot-wired it. I slammed on the gas and got to the spot. When I got there I smelled Actinium, Lorenzo! I ran to the smell and saw him fighting Carbom. I ran up and kicked her in the back, causing her to stumble a bit. "What do you want human"? "Human"!
She punched me in the stomach and it's like my world collapsed. I had never felt a pain that bad before. She was stronger than anything I'd ever felt. I fell to my knees and grabbed my stomach. She laughed as she got closer. "Blitz, get out of here", Clover shouted. His leg was obviously broken and he was spitting up blood. I grabbed my pocket knife and jammed it in Carbon's stomach. "You bitch". I looked to the side and saw another chemical holding a gun, pointed at me. My heart started to race as they pulled the trigger. "Blitz"! Lorenzo ran in front of me.
He dropped to the ground, holding is side. "Lorenzo", I cried. I ran to him and sat on my knees by his side. He coughed up blood, "Well... this is how it ends", he smiled. "No, no, no... this isn't how it ends", I cried. Freyaj and Clover watched with nothing to say. Lorenzo reached in his pocket. He pulled out a small ring box. "Give this to Marceline for me... I was gonna propose to her. But it looks like I can't do it now". "Lorenzo....", I sobbed. "I love you, you're the best daughter a guy could ask for. You too Clover and Blitz... tell Marceline I love her". Then he drew his last breath, he was gone.
I looked to the side and saw Marceline standing there in tears.
