Welcome back to WikiLost! Here's the recap page, now let's begin!

Max grabbed Reignic by the shoulder, wrapping his fingers around the frame of his sunglasses. “Bob tells me there’s a storehouse where you used the keep the Reignic gas. You’re going to take me there or so help me god I will pull these off of you.” He tightened his grip on the glasses.

Reignic complied, standing from the chair he was sitting in and going across camp with Max gripping him by the back of his collar.

“Max. Stop!” Barry ran after him.

“Fuck you!” Max pulled the pistol from his hip. “I’m not going to let you stop me! I need to do this! I need to do this for us! For you!” He let two rounds fire from his gun. The bullets flew through the air, breaking the stream of wind with a whistle and Barry kept running and they passed him due to Max’s aim being thrown off by his rage.

Barry leapt, toppling Max to the ground, knocking the gun out of his hands. Max flipped over from his back, grabbing Barry’s leg and knocking him to the ground. Max stood in the sand as Barry attempted to get a grip of his consciousness. He swung his foot into Barry’s stomach, knocking the wind out of him, then raised his boot into the air and sent it down hard on Barry’s head, effectively knocking him out.

Malcolm swung a thin log at Max’s head, which shattered on impact, turning Max around. Max’s rage made him immune to the blunt force of the log, and he turned around and kicked Malcolm to the ground, and he was followed up by Ximena who he took down with a fist to her face.

Jason rolled his way over as fast as he could and bent down and picked up the gun Max had dropped and aimed it at Max. Jason wasn’t a particularly good shot, but he needed to stop Max.

He slip his finger down on the trigger, releasing a bullet from the barrel and into the air. The bullet his Max dead center in the chest, sending him to the ground. Everybody calmed down and backed up from Max as Jason rolled in on the dead body, sprawled on the sand. Jason handed the gun over to Malcolm as Barry was pulled out of the scene, and Max’s body twitched.

Max stumbled back up to his feet and took his finger into the shape of a hook and dug it into the bloody hole in his chest, scooping out the bullet and dropping it to the ground. He walked powerfully over to Jason and grabbed him by the neck, lifting him into the air.

Reignic ran into him at full force, throwing him and Jason to the ground. Jason crawled away on his back and Max began taking heavy breaths, then went unconscious.

Lexi walked up to the body, holding her belly and crouching down, looking at the bullet hole. The blood was dark red, but it was warm and shocking to the touch. Her fingers vibrated on contact with his body and his body was almost steaming. Max was shirtless, but his jeans were burning, ashy black holes began to form around the thighs and the hole on the knees began to spark.

“It’s the lightning…” Jason leaned in closely from his chair.

“The Reignic Gas.” Bob Dave said.

“Upon contact with a spark, the particles in Reignic gas begin to vibrate and heat up. From what you told me about your little friend’s incident in your first week on the island…” Bob Dave looked at Max who was secured onto a table twice his size in the laboratory. “I believe the particles made it into his body, sped up his cells, and made his heart beat faster. There were two possible outcomes for his scenario, he has a heart attack from the particles entering his bloodstream, or the heat from the bolt made it into the blood cells.”

“So what effect would that have had on him?” Barry grew interested, a black bruise ran alongside the side of his head but he managed to cover it with a bandage that covered his eye.

“Well, it would speed up his healing process, it would make his endurance levels through the roof, and in his case… effect his better judgment and rage.” Reignic wandered over to Max. “This is all theoretical, in all likelihood he’s just a tough ass.”

“How do you think the Reignic gas made it to our camp?” Jason asked.

“Your camp was situated at the end of a valley, most likely somebody was using it somewhere on the island and the wind brought it down here.” Bob answered.

“It explains how Captain and I encountered that monster in the jungle on the first night.” Barry said.

“So what do we do with him?” Negative included.

“I want to keep him in here for study purposes, I think it could be beneficial for our research assuming Community gets communication back with us again.” Reignic wiped his sunglasses and approached the table with Max on it.

“Well I need to take a ride down to Four Stars and see how everybody there is holding up on their first day.” Jason wheeled his way out of the Laboratory.

Soon everybody filtered out of the laboratory until it was just Reignic and Max, to which Max reopened his eyes.
