Kelvin sighed as he continued to run. The man chasing him paused and looked around when she heard what Kelvin had said. He thought there was someone nearby. This gave Kelvin the opportunity to hide in a closet.
He locked the door behind him. Then he found a mop that he broke off into two to use as two clubs. While he was doing that, the metal door behind him was taking a beating.
Each punch from the man caused the surface of the door to warp. The surfaces that were hit expanded and popped like a balloon. It was like small explosions were going through the door.
The man was punching around the lock on the door and was using the explosion to disable it. He would be able to break it open in a few seconds.
The sight intrigued Kelvin. He said, "This is an interesting ability? Do you think it can bypass forcefields and other types of defenses?"
Wrath stopped laughing at his misfortune to consider the question.
She said, "He looks like a physique class super with this showing, but the man is actually a psychic class super. He is using some type of force attack. The attack penetrates obstacles and explodes through them."
"You can liken it to a highly explosive sonic attack. It won't bypass a forcefield, but it will drain it more quickly and effectively than normal attacks. As for physical attacks, they would be done for with this attack. Even if they are not bypassed, they would be destroyed too."
Kelvin nodded in agreement. He felt tempted by the ability. He asked, "Do you think it is worth game points? I think it is worth game points. I think so very much."
He is on the edge of making up his mind about this guy. All he is waiting for is for Wrath to disagree and give him a good reason not to pick it up.
But Wrath didn't do so. She said, "It is a good idea. It should go well with Juggernaut's Heart."
He smiled and said, "That's that then. I am going to take this guy for all he is worth."
He was grinning to himself as he raised one of his hands up. He poised the makeshift club for an attack as he unlocked the door.
The man behind it didn't expect this. He was just about to punch the door when it opened. The obstacle in front of him disappeared, so the force of his punch carried him forward.
The man's face and the club swinging downward meet in an intimate embrace. Just like the things the man had punched earlier, half of his face also exploded.
The main cause of the explosion was that Kelvin had struck him with too much force. The wooden stick had impacted his head with so much force that his skin was obliterated and his skull was directly bruised.
It was intentional on Kelvin's part. He understood from Wrath's explanation that this man can injure him terribly if he gives him the opportunity to do so. So he was aiming to knock him out in one blow. He was even ready to achieve this at the risk of nearly killing the man.
He got what he wanted. The stick shattered, and the man was knocked out. Kelvin dragged him into the room and locked the door again. Then he pushed the shelves of equipment against the door to secure it further.
Then Kelvin got to work on stealing the man's destiny. He took his Explosive Fist ability for himself and fused it with Juggernaut's Heart to create Juggernaut's Force. The two abilities were force-based, so they fused well.
Wrath was right about that. It cost him just 10 games points to do the fusion instead of the 40 game points it will cost to open another slot.
Thanks to the fusion, the force he stores in his body can be converted into an explosive force through his fist. It only comes at the cost of increasing the strain on his body and impacting his limit negatively.
He can handle this stress and is also not affected by the recoil of using the ability, thanks to his steel body. Apparently, the ability could also harm him if he was close to the exploding obstacle. It is why the man was wearing large metal gloves to protect his fist.
Next, he killed the man. Then came the matter of what to do with the man's body.
He said to Wrath, "This is not bad. I have a new identity to steal in order to get out of here. It will depend on who wins this fight. We will get on the victor's side. You will have to find out who wins though."
Wrath nodded and said, "I hope these people, whoever they are, win. I want the Purple Drag gang gun."
Kelvin admonished her, "Don't say that about your future gang. I want the Purple Drag gang to win so that I won't have to change into new clothes so soon."
Wrath laughed. "Don't count on that buddy."
He said as he began to undress the man, "We will just have to see, won't we?"
Wrath phased through the door and did the part of a lookout while he did the sorry job of undressing the dead man and hiding his body in a large container. He even poured detergent into the container to hide the body.
Next, he waited for the outcome of the battle to determine where his allegiance lay. This wait lasted for ten minutes. Wrath soon brought news.

She said, "I think it was the justice league that raided this place. I saw Fire Rose. She was really angry. She fought with Purple Cloud's bodyguard."
Then she shook her head. "It turns out that she is not that strong. She wasn't able to defeat the bodyguard because her flames were useless to her. It makes me wonder how she was able to defeat the Patriarch."
Kelvin asked impatiently, "So what's the outcome? Who won?"
