Max awoke from his fall lying on the core of the power plant, its radiation and heat smashing into his body, causing his mutated cells to grow and shrink rapidly, as soon as he tried to move his entire body ached. A notification rang out in his head,
*Master, your body has taken a large amount of radiation and burn damage, it is only due to the Prime's health regeneration that you are still alive. Speaking of your mutations, I have been able to use the radiation and heat as well as your level-ups to activate the dormant mutant class and abilities in your body, I will display them to you once you get out of this mess. I suggest that you use Marksman's arm to slow down the power plant so that you can run to the platform to your right.*
Max took a deep breath and did what Maggy suggested, he waited for the next blast of radiation to hit him and shortly after he activated Marksman's aim and sprinted as fast as his laboured body could go, just as he jumped up to the platform, he was caught in the back by a blast of radiation that threw him to the wall above the platform.
As he fell to the floor, footsteps began running down the stairs towards his location, the voice of Vaylin boomed behind them "Go and see if he is dead if he is then leave his body there but if he somehow survived bring him to me, I want to know more about what the Outlander plans to do."
Max's body temperature began to rapidly rise however this wasn't due to the core but rather the awakening of his mutant powers, as the temperature rose his body began to waver until his skin ignited and his body became encased in flame.
As he lay there in shock Maggy's familiar voice spoke to him * The mutations that have awakened in your body have given you control over fire and heat itself. You can protect your body from melee attacks by covering yourself in flames like this and you also regain your health and stamina back quicker than a normal prime when you are either on fire or near it. I will display a full list of your new mutations below and explain what they do.*

Consuming Flame: A semi-sentient flame resides in the user's body, it will automatically activate the armour ability when the host is in danger however the host has control over all offensive abilities. The radiation and heat impacted the host's mutations gained by levelling and as such the flames can irradiate enemies that they come into contact with, killing them slowly and painfully.

New skills and Abilities explanation
Flame Body: The User's body is engulfed in flames, they form a layer over the host's skin protecting them from some damage. As the skill levels up the flames will become denser and able to protect the host from more damage.
Hell's Wrath C:: The user unleashes the wrath of Hell itself, the area surrounding the host erupts into a large number of flames that can melt bone instantly. This skill consumes a large amount of the host's health and stamina. As the skill levels up, the health and stamina costs are reduced while damage increases.
Flame Manipulation: The host's skill at harnessing the flames inside them, as the skill levels up, will unlock more abilities and functions for the host to use. The host is immune to all forms of heat and takes zero damage from radiation due to his unique mutation.
Max smiled and threw himself up from off of the floor, he then ran around the corner and smiled at the tall figures in golden armour that were coming down the stairs. The figures stopped, they looked at Max as if he were the devil, one of them screamed" What the hell are you? Why the fuck are you on fire? Knights, defensive formation."
The knights proceeded to entire a type of phalanx and slowly make their way towards Max who just looked at them each in the eyes before saying" My name is not important however if you are going to refer to me as anything then I guess Zero is the most appropriate for my enemies. As you can see I'm currently on fire and doing perfectly fine, I the dragon of Zakuul will give you one chance to run before I burn you to ashes."
A few knights hesitated but continued forward, which caused Max to step forward and mutter" Honour in life and Glory in death."
Before unleashing Hell's Wrath for the first time, a giant dragon head made out of flames appeared above Max and roared at the Knights, it then flew towards them and exploded, burning everything in the nearby area to ashes and priming the core to explode. Max nonchalantly walked up the nearby stairs and made eye contact with Vaylin, saying" I will be back for your throne and planet but until then I leave you the gift of an exploding power plant."
Before Vaylin could react the power plant began to self destruct and Max ran in the direction that the Outlander went, using the exploding power plant as his cover.....
