The battle between Amy and the now transformed Mr. Hawthorne intensified to an unprecedented level. Hawthorne's newfound strength and speed gave him an advantage, allowing him to toss Amy aside like a ragdoll and strike her with his sharp claws from every angle. Amy, with her arms crossed to protect her face, endured the onslaught as she healed from each attack. Despite the pain, she waited for the right moment to counter.
That moment came when Mr. Hawthorne's overconfidence made him vulnerable. Amy unleashed a powerful fawich scream, sending him off balance and hurling him into dangerous chemicals and gasoline, causing a massive explosion. The blast inflicted severe injuries on him, and he struggled to heal as flames engulfed their battlefield. Amy, her wings unfurled, marveled briefly at her newfound power before hearing the rumble of debris and seeing Hawthorne emerge from the flames, still healing.
