In Australia, at the Abraham Plant, the core is activating while the Eagle is en route with Dragonfly and the Owl following. Inside the Eagle, Neon Crane is sitting in front of Power Surge.

Power Surge: Trisha, you okay?

Neon Crane: Yeah, it's just...usually if I mess up in class, I just get a bad grade.....if I mess up here, thousands of people will die and it will be my fault.

Power Surge: Hey, that's why we're here....to stop that from happening....you have a whole team here that's got your back.

Power Surge and Neon Crane share a smile, before Ember gives a look jealousy and anger.

Quantum: Approaching Abraham Nuclear Plant now....taking her down.

Sun Sorceress parks the Eagle on the roof of the Nuclear Plant Facility, before the team departs. Dragonfly and the Owl land on the roof of the facility and joins the team.

Dragonfly: V.O.X?

V.O.X: Scans are verified with Enhuman heat signatures, sir....they're here.

Quantum: Okay, we split up in teams of twos. Sun Sorceress, Neon Crane, Power Surge, you're with me. We're checking the east wing. Mother Nature, you and Dragonfly take Owl and Ember to the west wing.

The team separates while inside the nuke plant, Quantum, Sun Sorceress, Neon Crane and Power Surge enter the building through the air ducts.

Quantum: They attacked a nuclear plant in broad daylight? They're becoming more persistent than we thought. (Talks in earpiece) Dragonfly, you guys in yet?

In another part of the plant, Dragonfly, The Owl, Mother Nature and Ember enter.

Dragonfly: You forget my suit cannot fit through the frickin air ducts. It's made a sheet metal!

The Owl: Try being an owl hybrid and then talk to me about squeezing through a vent.

Dragonfly: All right...let's move.

Meanwhile, Quantum's team continues moving throughout the facility.

Neon Crane: Okay, I hate to be the one to ask this, but what if we can't stop the nuclear meltdown?

Quantum: My son's suit has a core in his suit that can absorb radiation.

Neon Crane: But won't that kill him?

Quantum: No, his suit will help keep the radiation out of his body as long as it can. I'm hoping we or we will find the Purifiers and stop them before that happens.

Neon Crane: How come his suit can do that?

Power Surge: You sure do ask a lot of questions....

Neon Crane: Hey, it's my first actual mission. Give me a break....not to mention, it's in a nuclear plant.

Power Surge: We've handled situations like this before...

Neon Crane: Nuclear plants?

Sonic: No, this is a first...

Neon Crane: Oh, great confidence.

An explosion is heard as both teams begin proceeding forward. They spot many lab techs in hazmat suits running away. Quantum's team comes across several fleeing lab techs, before of the technicians stops in front of the team.

Neon Crane: Hey!

Lab Technician # 1: Oy! Let me live! Please! I have a family!

Sun Sorceress: Calm down! We're not here to hurt you. We're here to stop the Enhumans that attacked this facility.

Power Surge: Do you know where they are?

Lab Technician # 1: No, everyone's gone....a few Enhumans...

Neon Crane: Can you describe the "other" Enhumans?

Lab Technician # 1: Yeah, they were led by a woman with an energy blade....a samurai looking dude....and a few other men.

Quantum: Where are they?

Lab Technician # 1: Last I saw, they were at the nuclear core.

Quantum: (speaks into earpiece) Dragonfly. We have conformation that the Purifiers are here.

Dragonfly: (through Sonics' earpiece) I got it.

Dragonfly's team walk to a door.

Dragonfly: hmm....it's looks like it's locked on the other side. Power Surge, do you think you can bolt speed to the other side and unlock it?

Power Surge: Sure....

Ember: Hold on, Power Surge. We don't need you. I got it..

Power Surge: What?

Ember: My power is to manipulate and use smoke. It'll be easier for me to get inside.

Power Surge: what is this? You being a show off, now?

Ember uses the shadows around the environment to travel to the other side of the door, before opening it for the others to pass through.

Power Surge: Damn show off. He's going to screw this mission up.

The two teams continue throughout the plant. Meanwhile, a team of Purifiers are using their powers to start fires or destroy the coolant towers just as Quantum's come across them before the security staff notices them.

Neon Crane: Now what?

The security staff equips their weapons and faces the team.

Plant Security Guard # 1: Who the hell are you, freaks?

Neon Crane steps up and poses in a superman stance.

Neon Crane: You should run you petty villains....for we are The Supers! Here to stop you from desolating this plant.

Quantum: (clears throat)

Sun Sorceress: (laughs)

Power Surge walks up to Neon Crane and puts his hand on her shoulder.

Power Surge: We don't say speeches like that, dude. Let me handle this.

Power Surge steps up to the soldiers.

Power Surge: Fellas, we're not here to hurt you....we're simply here to take care of the Enhumans that caused this. Now, if you'll be willing to, drop your weapons and walk away so we can do our job.

Plant Security Guard # 1: You think we're going to take advice from a freak?!

Power Surge: okay then....tried to be nice....

Power Surge shocks the entire squad of soldiers in place, knocking them out.

Power Surge: Night night.

Quantum: Nice one, Surge.

Neon Crane: Uh...are they going to be okay? I mean that was awesome, but I mean, won't they like die from electroshock or something?

Power Surge: No, trust me. When I shock someone, I don't electrocute them to death. Eventually, they'll wake up....eventually...don't worry. They'll be okay.

Before leaving, Neon Crane taps an unconscious security staff.

Neon Crane: Really sorry if you die....I'm new to this.

Meanwhile, Dragonfly's' team are seen in the halls when suddenly, spikes are dropped into the ground, halting the team. Sharp-Spike and another group of Purifiers drop down in front of the team.

Sharp-Spike: Hold it right there, traitors!

Dragonfly: Who the hell are you, kid?

Sharp-Spike: Name's Andre....but y'all can call me "Sharp-Spike".....my leader requests that I stop you....and you know how it is, you want to join the club...you gotta earn your keep.

The Owl: Look, son. I don't know what the hell Genesis told you, but he's a madman....you don't have to follow him...none of you do...you can join us....there's a man back in our base who can show you that humans and Enhumans can live together...

Sharp-Spike: Huh...

Andre seems intrigued and then turns to his fellow Purifiers.

Sharp-Spike: What do you think, fellas?

A short pause, before Andre shoots a spike at the team, causing them to dodge.

Sharp-Spike: I say y'all are blind.

The Owl: So much for diplomacy.

Ember: No, brother. There's a difference between diplomacy and outright douche bag.

Ember shoots a smoke beam at one of the Purifiers, before the Owl unleashes a sonic screech at Andre, stunning him temporarily, before the other Purifiers engage Dragonflys' team in a fight. Mother Nature uses her physical combat to take down two Purifiers, before her eyes turn green. Suddenly, she conjures grass that erupts plants that grab the Purifiers by the leg and hang them upside down.

Mother Nature: Hang around for a while, boys.

Mother Nature then blows yellow dust that knocks the two Purifiers out. Suddenly, Snake Bite appears, hissing at Mother Nature.

Sharp-Spike: Human sympathizer.....

Mother Nature: Snake-Bite. I thought you were rotting in an Enhuman jail.

Snake-Bite: Scarlett broke me out, cause she knows...how to dominate the indominate, unlike you.

Snake Bite attacks with her biting attack and spitting venom at Mother Nature, who blocks or maneuver the attacks with her powers while Ember then smoke dodges as he punches the first Purifier and backfists the second Purifier. Sharp-Spike recovers as he equips a bone blade, before attempting to attack the Owl, who dodges the first attack. The Owl blocks the next attack with his wings and kicks Andre, who backhands and slices the Owl's arm. Ember uses his smoke powers to outmatch and outsmart his attackers. Dragonfly takes down a few Purifiers with his mechanical armor and martial arts combat, before firing a suppressive beam that subdues another Purifier. Meanwhile, Quantum's team reaches the main reactor, before attempting to contact Dragonfly.

Quantum: Dragonfly! We've found the main reactor....She's in critical condition! Dragonfly?!

Dragonfly: I hear you! I'm in the middle of a damn fight, Dad!

Sun Sorceress: We need you come to the core! She's about to blow!

Power Surge: (restraining Sharp-Spike) Dragonfly! Go! We got this!

Dragonfly departs, before Sharp-Spike head butts Power Surge and punches him down. Sharp-Spike then equips two spikes from his wrists.

Sharp-Spike: This is going to hurt!

Sharp-Spike attempts to stab Power Surge, who bolt speeds and rams Andre into the wall.

Power Surge: Damn right it will.

Dragonfly regroups with Quantum's team, before noticing the reactor core.

Dragonfly: My God! Because of Genesis' attack, that reactor's close to a critical stage!

The reactor core becomes unsteady as the regulator Dragonfly suddenly files into the middle of the core and holds the regulator in.

Quantum: Dragonfly!

Dragonfly: Go! I can hold this in! If I drop it, there will be a nuclear explosion and thousands will die!

Sun Sorceress: What can we go to give you time?!

Dragonfly: V.O.X?

V.O.X: I've scanned the area. There appears to be control room above James. You need to go up there and open the blast doors. From up there, you can repair the brackets that will hold the regulator in.

Quantum: Got it! Alright, let's move and stay close! Hold on, buddy.

Dragonfly: Take your time! (Straining) I meant; please hurry...

Meanwhile, Power Surge continues fighting Sharp-Spike, who roundhouse kicks Power Surge. Before Sharp-Spike can finish off Power Surge with a spike blade, Ember smoke dashes through the vent and grabs his arm.

Ember: Now that's not nice.

Sharp-Spike attempts to Ember Shadow, who dodges and maneuvers Sharp-Spike's attack, Sharp-Spike striking Sharp-Spike, who blocks and punches Ember, knocking him down. Shadow laughs, before Andre attempts to stab him, only for Ember to smoke dash around him.

Sharp-Spike: What the hell?

Ember reappears behind Sharp-Spike, before grappling him and throwing him into the wall. Just as Power Surge is recovering, he notices a beam and grabs it, using his power to electrify the beam. With Sharp-Spike distracted fighting Ember, Power Surge strikes Sharp-Spike in the back with the electrified beam, before Sharp-Spike turns and is struck again. Snake-Bite uppercuts Mother Nature, before she pounces on her, bearing her snake-like fangs. Mother Nature holds off her attack, before she punches Snake-Bite and kicking her back. Mother Nature hen flips back up and wraps a vine around Snake-Bite's waist, before kicking her across the face.

Mother Nature: Now, we can play.

Meanwhile, Quantum, Sun Sorceress and Neon Cranefight their way to the control room, before noticing a frightened technician.

Lab Technician # 2: Who the bloody hell are you blokes?

Mother Nature: We're not here to hurt you.

Lab Technician # 2: Well, if the bloke in armor's with you, you'd better hurry.....he's gettin tired.

Quantum: What can we do?

Lab Technician # 2: You guys are going to have to make your way of the reactor room and realign the brackets holding the regulator that your friend is holding.

Neon Crane: We can do that with our eyes closed.....right?

Sun Sorceress: How do we get to the upper deck?

Lab Technician # 2: You will have to travel through the---

The Lab Technician is suddenly blasted away by an energy beam before the team turns their direction towards Genesis.

Dr. Genesis: Well, well, well, isn't this a nice surprise? The little human saviors.

Quantum: I thought you wasn't here.....

Genesis: Guess he was wrong, huh?

Sun Sorceress: Fixing the damage you caused.

Genesis: (scoffs) I can see that...(noticing Neon Crane) ahhh....you have new blood.....a young woman with extraordinary gifts, but doesn't know how to use them well.

Neon Crane: you know nothing about us....about me...

Genesis: You want to be very sure about that. Enhumans, we're unique.

Quantum: Unique by killing humans? Yeah, we're trying to show humanity that not all Enhumans are bad....you're just making it worse!

Genesis: And you think your leader is right? Eventually, the humans will turn their backs....you, John, is an old blind fool.

Neon Crane shoots an ice beam at Genesis, who absorbs the neon with his adapter powers.

Genesis: You all still need training, girl.

Genesis shoots the neon back at Neon Crane, knocking her down, before Sun Sorceress shoots sun rays at Genesis, who dodges and blocks the shots, causing them to hit the environment around them. Neon Crane light speeds around Genesis, who turns around and is struck with neon punches. Genesis blocks the next punch and grabs Neon Crane by the neck.

Genesis: hell hath no fury like a woman's' scorned.

Genesis tosses Neon Crane into Sun Sorceress as Quantum shoots at Genesis with his laser vision, before jumping at Genesis, grappling onto him. A struggle ensues between Sonic and Genesis while Power Surge uses his bolt speed to ram into Sharp-Spike while Ember and the Owl defeat the remaining Purifiers. Power Surge is overpowering Andre, before he then electrifies his hands and strikes Andre in the face, subduing him. Mother Nature subdues Snake-Bite by wrapping a vine around her.

Power Surge: Man.....this one was tough.....

Ember: Looks like this one was a little tough...think he might know something we don't about Genesis?

The Owl: I'm pretty sure if we can't get anything out of him, the boss can....let's rope him and take him back to the tower when we're done here...

Meanwhile, Genesis tosses Sonic off his back, before Neon Crane recovers and shoots neon beams at Genesis. With Genesis stunned, Neon Crane generates a neon staff, before she attacks, but Genesis uses a red energy blade to block and dodge the attacks.

Genesis: Good...you're fast....you're strong...

Genesis holds back an attack.

Genesis: but do you lack confidence in yourself, child?

Genesis knocks away the staff, before backhanding Neon Crane. Dragonfly continues to hold the regulator in, but his strength is weakening, causing him to fall to his knees.

Dragonfly: Guys! What's taking so long?! I'm not sure how long I can hold on! And my armor's powers level are decreasing!

Quantum shoots laser beams at Genesis, knocking him into the next room, before the team regroups.

Quantum: Sun Sorceress, you and Neon Crane get up to the upper level and seal those brackets! I will take care of Genesis! Now, go!

Sun Sorceress and Neon Crane depart, before Quantum fights Genesis. Sun Sorceress uses her sun beams to boost herself up, while Neon Crane uses her light speed to travel up to the room, where the brackets are vulnerable.

Neon Crane: There it is!

Sun Sorceress tries to control the brackets manually, but the computer suffers damage.

Sun Sorceress: Crap! The computer controlling the brackets have taken a hit! There's no way to seal those brackets!

Neon Crane: Yes, there is!

Neon Crane kicks one of the brackets into place, before shooting a giant neon laser that seals the brackets, securing one.

Sun Sorceress: nice!

Dragonfly continues to hold the regulator in, before Neon Crane contacts him.

Neon Crane: James? I mean Dragonfly! Dragonfly! Sorry! We've secured one of the brackets!

Dragonfly: Well, secure the other two! According to V.O.X, there should be two more!

Sun Sorceress: Got it!

Sun Sorceress and Neon Crane travel to the second bracket, before Blizzard seals it with his ice powers.

Sun Sorceress: Secured bracket # 2...

Dragonfly: (groans) Just one more, guys! Hurry! I can't hold it much longer!

Quantum continues fighting Genesis with Sun Sorceress subdued and knocked out. Genesis notices Sun Sorceress and Neon Crane travelling to the third bracket, before shooting a giant red energy beam, before Quantum shoots him with his laser vision. The shot misses, but knocks Sun Sorceress out, forcing Neon Crane to attempt to seal the last bracket. Dragonfly's strength begins to decrease as the regulator slips out.

Neon Crane: Dragonfly! I need you to lift the regulator up!

Dragonfly: I....I can't....I can't...

Neon Crane: You have to! Please! Billions of lives will die if you give up! It's what you taught me! Never give up!

Dragonfly, encouraged by Neon Crane, powers up and gathers up all his strength, stands to his feet, managing lifts the regulator into place, before Neon Crane seals it with her neon laser, finally sealing the regulator in. Dragonfly finally manages to free himself.

Dragonfly: Thanks for that, girl.

Genesis punches Quantum back, before Dragonfly arrives and shoots a rope created of kinetic energy and Neon Crane arrives and shoots Genesis with her neon powers as Quantum joins in and shoots Genesis with his laser beams. Genesis kneels, before Quantum speaks.

Quantum: It's over, Genesis.

Genesis: (laughs) you assumed the best.

Genesis releases a burst of energy that backfires Quantum's; Dragonflys' and Neon Cranes' powers back at them, knocking them out. After some time, Neon Crane is shook awake by Power Surge.

Power Surge: Trisha...you okay?

Neon Crane: (groaning) what happened?

Dragonfly: What happened is that you helped us save thousands of innocent lives...human and Enhuman...you did it, kid.

Neon Crane: Thanks...what about Genesis?

Quantum: Gone, along with the Sharp-Spike guy, but don't worry, he wasn't the priority...we'll get him eventually...till then, we'll take back the snake dude we've caught..
