"This is you're only warning Mark." Firestar says as she stares down the Molten villain. She look over and sees Frogman, who manages to get to his feet to check on Patrick.

"How do you know me?" He demands to know.

"I...I was asked to bring you home by your family. They want you to give yourself up."

"I can't, not like this." he says ooking down at his burning hands. "Gou says if I do what he says he'll fix it."

"Gou's a liar. He's only using you, and when he's down he'll stab you in the back."

"Mr. Allen, I hear a lot of talking but no smashing." Gou says over the com link. "You're a gambling man. How much do you wager I'll leave you in your current predicament if you refuse to fight? You know what you have to do so do it!" he shouts.

Mark looks down in regret, then back at Firestar. "Sorry but I don't have a choice." he says as he hurls a huge ball of lava at her. She punches it, coming at it full force as it bursts. Seeing the incoming lava, Frogman grabs Patrick and leaps onto a building roof as the two continue. "Oh man, sorry you're not awake to see this little buddy. This is going to be some kind of show."

Firestar blazes through the air at high speed and tackles Molten Man through a building. He counters by slamming his hands into her back, forcing her down, then grabs her and throws her into the street. He rushes toward her and slams her into a car, hitting her repeatedly. She breaks free and flies into the sky, hurling fireballs at Molten Man as the two trade shots, neither's ranged attacks having any effect on the other. The burning man grabs a car and throws it at her. She dodges the attack only to see another come at her, knocking her out of the sky and crashing into an empty bar. She staggers to her feet as he jumps into the room and delivers another blow that knocks her to the back of the room and he walks over to finish her off as she powers down.

"Mark stop, it's me." she says as she pulls her mask off, causing him to stop in his tracks.

"What..what's going on?" he says in stunned confusion.

"I'll explain later, but for now, just give yourself up and we can fix this together."

"I can't, he's got the remote."

"What remote? Tell me what happened."

Gou quickly tires of the back-and-forth and speaks up over the line. "What are you doing? Finish this you incompotent moron. Or do you want to spend the rest of your life as a walking science fair project?" he shouts.

"Do your own dirty work pal. I'm done." Mark says as he helps his sister up.

"Hmm, alright then." Gou says as he picks up the remote and presses a button on it, connecting it to a remote control he carries in his other hand.

Mark instantly response by trying to punch a hole through his sister before she breaks free and jumps to the side. "What are you doing?"

"I can't stop. I'm being controlled." he says as he throws lava balls at her as she heads back out side, soaring through the air. He rushes after her, leaping into the air and crashing through an adjacent building as he attempts to punch her in the face with his left hand as his right pins her down. "Sorry." he says as she continually moves her head to avaid the punches.

"Not as sorry as you're going to be." she says as she unleashes a burst of energy that throws him back to the street. He crashes onto the roof of a car as she flies out and begins to hit him in the face repeatedly as he staggers back.

"This might actually be a fair fight, and who wants to see that?" Gou says working the controls as he helps Molten Man regain ground. He hurls another lava ball at her as she breaks it apart and shoots flames back at him, which have no effect.

"This is not going to end well for anyone." Frogman says from the roof as he watches the structures around the two melt.

"I think I might be able to help." he turns as he hears a voice but sees no one but Patrick lying on the roof.

"Uh, hello?"

"On the com channel frog legs." a female voice says over the channel. "I think I might be able to help end this. Molten Man's powers are fueled by nanites that are conditioned to handle and produce extreme heat."

"But Firestar's powers don't have any effect on him at all. So what's your point."

"In nature the Japanese hornet outsizes and out powers it's prey the honey bee. But the bees have their own defense. They pile on top of the hornet and generat enough heat to roast it while they themselves can withstand a higher degree of heat. If Firestar can heat up enough she can overheat his nanites and burn them out."

"That's brilliant, extremely dangerous, but brilliant. Thanks anonymous voice."

"No problem." she says as he hopes onto the side of the building where Firestar is levitating. "Hey i've got good news."

"I'm all ears." she says as he explains the plan as the two evade Molten Man's attacks. "Okay, i'll give it a shot. I'll have to take him above the city if i'm going to cut loose." she rushes down toward her brother, ramming him and lifting him into the sky as she takes him higher. "This is going to hurt me a lot more than it'll hurt you, believe me." she says as she begins to heat herself up hotter and hotter. Frogman shields his eyes as the two are engulfed in a ball of white heat.

At the same time Gou's controller begins to burn and he throws it to the ground. "Well, that's not good." Mysterio says standing behind him as he turns to the costumed man. "I'll just go." he says, vanishing in a cloud of smoke.

"What happened? Where that lava guy go? Why is it so hot out here?" Patrick asks as he finally wakes up. "What's that?" he says as he point up and sees two figures falling from the sky. Frogman instantly acts as he leaps up and grabs a powered down Firestar in mid-air and Patrick spreads out a web net to catch Mark, who is now normal again.

"Are you okay?" Frogman asks Firestar as she looks up at him.

She responds by poking him in the head. "Haha, Froggy." she says playfully as she begins to blather on incoherently.

"What's wrong with her?" he asks as Patrick jumps down.


"Heat stroke." he states as the two look around. "Well that's one crisis averted. I wonder how Michael and Vana are fairing on their boring assignment."

Across town the two other clones battle a group of jet troopers, having already knocked down two as the others retreat. They pursue taking out two more, webbing them to the side of a building. They tag team the third, hitting him from behind and tackling him onto a building. "Well that's one group down, but how do we find the others." Vana asks as the troopers pack begins to blink and it starts to carry him off despite him beeing unconscious. "I have a pretty good idea." Michael says as the two grab hold of him. They hold on tight as the pack carries them up into the sky. "Why are we going into the clouds?" they keep going as they see what looks like a portal opening in the sky as they make their approach. A sudden gust of air shakes Vana off as she falls. At the last second, she shoots a web line onto the seeming nothing and clings onto it, giving her brother a thumbs up to proceed as he enters what looks like a hangar and the door shuts behind him. The trooper flops onto the floor and Michael leaps off of him and runs off down one of the halls, being careful not to be detected.

He makes his way down a hall that leads to the power core and sneaks into the attached door. He looks around and is shocked to hear moaning coming from above him. He turns to see none other than Electro, suspended in the main battery core powering the ship. "Release me." he says weakly looking at the miniature spider.
