I am so sorry (again) for the long wait, school work has been piling up and needed my undivided attention. But here is the next chapter of the modifyers.

I do not own the Modifyers, they belong to Chris Reccardi and Lynne Naylor. I do own Zero.

Lord Schmelting ran down the saires with glee as he approached Zero's body out side the door.

Mole soon regained his footing and looked out the broken Windows "Zero"... he sadly said seeing his friend terminated. They both failed to notice the insignificant movement.

Zero looked up and saw an happy Lord Schmelting walking away from him.

'Get up!' Zero thought to himself. He tried to rise, his whole body aching as a result. "Schmelting!" He called out.

Schmelting slowly turned around, shocked and scared for just a moment. "You survived a 3 story fall" he said amazed by the feat.

"Surprised?" Zero asked.

"I'm going to have to ask about extra pay" Schmelting said matter of factly.

Both the agent and Villain stared at each other, hands on the ready to reacher for their weapon, Zero with his cold gun, Lord Schmelting with explosive putty, the only notable onlooker being Mole, who stood still in shock.

The clock tower from across town struck 10 pm.

Instantly Schmelting pulled out his putty, but before he could throw it, Zero pulled out his cold gun and froze the putty to his hand.

Schmelting looked at his frozen hand, unable to throw the putty or even move his fingers. Immediately he turned to retreat into the shadows.

'Make the shadows my allie' Schmelting thought. Almost as soon as he turned he found his feet frozen to the floor.

Zero slowly walked towards him, his hand never leaving his cold gun.

"Your going to tell us all you know" Zero said coldly.

He turned as he saw Mole running right besides him. "I've contacted HQ already, they'll be here in no time."

Suddenly an alarm sound came from Schmelting.

"run, he's a bomb" Mole yelled as he ran a distance.

Zero calmly reached into Schmeling's coat pocket and pulled out a comunication device. He turned to an embarrassed Mole, as he stoped running and relaxed.

"What is it" Mole asked

"It's a communicator!" Zero said excitedly. "If I adjust the frequency and range, it'll bounce a signal off of a nearby radio tower and give me a good idea of the others location!"

"Which could lead us back to Xero" Mole said caching on.

They both herd a 'ping' sound come from the comunicator.

"I've got it! Zero yelled. "stay here until back up can take Schmelting away"

"But" Mole objected "where are you going?"

"To save my friend" he yelled back as he ran into the night.
