Mach Volcano

== Special Moves: ==
* Flaming Fists: QCF + LA (He launches a fireball from his two-fists to his opponent. Can be done in air too.)
* Volcano Upper: DP + HA (He does a rising vertical uppercut to his opponent like Supergirl's Rising Sun Strike, but with his fist charged with fire.)
* Burning Charge: B, F + MA (He transforms himself into a comet, rushing towards his opponent, similar to Cinder's Trailblazer. Can be done in air too.)
* Lava Trap: QCB + A (He launches lava with his hands towards his opponent's feet, trapping him/her, like Firestorm's Molten Trap. Distance varies depending on the button: closer [LA], medium [MA] or farther [HA].)
* Flaming Divekick: UQCF + A (He dives himself in a fire-coated kick to his opponent before he lands to the ground. Air move only.)
== Superdrive: ==
Extreme Overheat: Mach Volcano assumes a boastful pose, accelerating his reactor, allowing his fire attacks to expand at 2%, which drains his opponent's health at contact. The visual difference is his flaming hair being extended and his reactor working at maximum pressure.
== Powered Charges: ==
* Burning Fireball: QCFx2 + LA (He generates a big fireball from his two hands and throws it to his opponent, knocking him/her down. His Superdrive version, adds a big upper fire trail that hits his opponent many times until he/she falls down once the fireball makes contact with the ground.)
* Volcano's Wrath: QCFx2 + HA (He does three rising uppercuts with fire to his opponent with like Ken's Shoryu-Reppa. His Superdrive version, does one vertical spinning uppercut in 360° a la Shinryuken, but with fire surrounding him and deals more damage to his opponent.)
== Ultimate Charge: ==
* Scorching Revenge*: F, HCF + HA (The background turns into a dark blue hexagon pattern with his emblem appearing in the center for a while as Mach Volcano prepares by engulfing his hands with flames while he says "Flame on!" and sprays them in short distance to his opponent. Once it connects, the background turns black as he says "Time to get the things hotter!" and launches a lava stream from his two hands in the ground where his opponent is located, trapping him/her from the feet to the head until his/her body gets turned to molten rock as a result of it. He then starts to charge his reactor in overheat before he does a powered-up version of his Burning Charge move closer to his still molten opponent, breaking him/her to pieces, with the same take repeating two times in slow motion. After the attack, he gets exhausted and wipes his forehead with his fist before he says "That was intense!". If done against Kuautemok, he just kneels down in despair after realizing he just killed his friend as he says "I cannot take this anymore with this suffering!" instead. If done against Venomica, he just clenches his fist out of apathy as he says "I wished you were never my sister!" instead.)
* = Requires the Maximum Charge Indicator to perform. Your opponent must have 25% of health in your winning round

== Stage 4 Interlude - VS. Radioactive Kid ==
=== Pre-Fight Cutscene: ===
(Scene takes place in Neo-American Nuclear Camp's Research Labs. Radioactive Kid is testing his reactor before he notices Mach Volcano arriving.)
Radioactive Kid: "Hi, Francis! You must be Major Megapower's son."
Mach Volcano: "And you must be the son of General Roth."
Radioactive Kid: "Exactly, my father was good friends with yours!"
Mach Volcano: "Interesting... I heard you and Nano-Gun are developing nuclear weapons to fight against those pesky Resistance members."
Radioactive Kid: "Not only us. Valiant Schoolgirl spearheaded the project."
(Mach Volcano angrily holds Radioactive Kid's torso.)
Mach Volcano: "You think I'm kidding? Ever since my father died, I no longer believe in her words."
Radioactive Kid: "What's wrong? Did you argued with Sophie?"
Mach Volcano: "Of course I did, just because she told me that vengeance is not good. Had to cut my friendship with both that bossy girl and her stupid boyfriend because of this."
(Radioactive Kid pushes Mach Volcano out of retailiation.)
Radioactive Kid: "I don't know what's happening with you! But I'll make you think by force!" *readies his fighting stance*
Mach Volcano: *turns on his reactor* "Get out of my vengeance against the one who murdered my father!"
=== After Match Cutscene: ===
(Radioactive Kid gets up easily.)
Radioactive Kid: "This is unfair, Francis! I thought we're supposed to be friends, like our fathers before us!"
Mach Volcano: "Friendship is useless for me, Ralph."
Radioactive Kid: "And what about love? You discard that too?"
Mach Volcano: "I don't. As a matter of fact, I love Heart Guardian with all my heart."
Radioactive Kid: "Me too! I'm considering dating her one day of these!"
(Mach Volcano immediately punches Radioactive Kid in the face, knocking him to the ground.)
Mach Volcano: "Never ever touch her!"
Radioactive Kid: "I swear... she's cute and sings like an angel!"
Mach Volcano: "I only deserve to love Sayuri, not you!"
(Radioactive Kid gets up from the attack.)
Radioactive Kid: "Tell me the reason for it?"
Mach Volcano: "Talked with her about rebelling against The Team... And to be fair, she agreed!"
Radioactive Kid: "This means that--"
Mach Volcano: "I quit to that bossy girl's little club!"
(Mach Volcano throws his Team Identification Card and stomps it angrily before he melts it with his lava.)
Radioactive Kid: "You cannot quit The Team! What do your father think about it?"
Mach Volcano: "My father's death doesn't concern you."
Radioactive Kid: "But what about our mission to stop Emilio Pastrana?"
Mach Volcano: "If you or either one of those pathetic heroes get in my way, I swear I'll never show mercy!"
(Mach Volcano leaves the scene by flying to the exit. We focus on Radioactive Kid simply kicking the ground out of frustration.)
== Stage 7 Interlude - VS. Venomica ==
=== Pre-Fight Cutscene: ===
(Scene takes place in the Toxic Sewers. Both Mach Volcano and Venomica stand idly to each other.)
Mach Volcano: "Veronica, it's about time."
Venomica: *giggles* "Glad you came in time, bro."
Mach Volcano: "Sister, it's time for us to settle our differences."
Venomica: "How about kissing to each other in front of the citizens? It's the only way to solve our differences."
Mach Volcano: "Never! I'm not going to commit incest with you!"
Venomica: "But... you look hot in everything! Your muscles, your blue eyes behind the visor, and even the holographic flame on your head."
Mach Volcano: "Buzz off, sister! I'm here mainly to put you back to senses!"
Venomica: "How dare you!"
(Venomica uses her whip to attack her brother, but he evades it so easily and launches fire from his fist, which she blocks it with her poisonous hand.)
Mach Volcano: "It's for your own sake! Our father never wished for this to happen!" *charges his reactor*
Venomica: "Don't worry, bro--" *readies her whip* "--because you will be mine soon!"
== After Match Cutscene: ==
(Venomica, still unconscious, just laughs of delirium.)
Mach Volcano: "What's happening to you?"
Venomica: "You don't understand? I always loved you!"
Mach Volcano: "But not in that incestous way you have."
(Venomica gets up and approaches slowly to her brother.)
Venomica: "Jealous that someone else is taking your heart?"
Mach Volcano: "Of course I do! And stop sleeping with that crook of your lover."
Venomica: "Never interfere with my love for Chainzaw, bro!"
Mach Volcano: "Ever since you met him, you turned to the dark side."
Venomica: "Then, who's your girlfriend?"
Mach Volcano: "You'll hear her voice soon."
(Mach Volcano talks with Heart Guardian through his ear communicator.)
Heart Guardian (via communicator): "Konichiwa, Francis. It's me, Sayuri Wakaba."
Mach Volcano: "How are you, my dear lover?"
Heart Guardian (via communicator): "Fine! I noticed that the yujo of your nee-san tried to flirt with you."
Mach Volcano: "Exactly, and that's why I'm considering disowning her for what I care."
Heart Guardian (via communicator): "Sugoi... now let's find the mayor and kill him right now!"
Mach Volcano: "And once I kill Emilio, I will rule Wonder City with iron fist with you by my side!"
Heart Guardian (via communicator): "Glad to hear... Sayonara ima, watashi no ai (Translation: Goodbye for now, my love)."
(Mach Volcano finishes the conversation with Heart Guardian. This fact shocked Venomica.)
Venomica: "Son of a hitch! Picking that Japanese harlot instead of me? I wished you were never my brother!"
Mach Volcano: "Hate me all what you want... but remember, you will be jailed!"
(Mach Volcano uses his lava to "handcuff" his sister.)
Venomica: "I hate you, Francis! I HATE YOU!" *cries*
(Mach Volcano immediately leaves the scene by flying. We cut to Venomica crying of despair due to her being abandoned by her own brother.)
== Mid-Boss Cutscene: ==
=== Pre-Fight Cutscene: ===
(Scene takes place in the mayor's office. The doors are open as Mach Volcano is entering. Greed-O-Crazy greets him.)
Greed-O-Crazy: "Major Megapower's son! Live and in person!"
Mach Volcano: "That's why I came here in first place, to reveal the truth about my father's death."
Greed-O-Crazy: "You want me to tell it? Of course not!"
Mach Volcano: "Stop telling me stupidities and tell me who killed my father?"
Greed-O-Crazy: "I don't know who are you talking, Francis. It can be anyone, pero para ser honesto (Translation: but to be honest), I'm not really involved in his death."
Mach Volcano: "I know you didn't do that, corrupt mayor."
Greed-O-Crazy: "Even I have standards, right?"
Mach Volcano: "But bet you tried to kill me and all those superbeings!"
Greed-O-Crazy: "You mean your friends of The Team?"
Mach Volcano: "I no longer belong to The Team, but that doesn't stop me to continue with my vengeance!"
(Greed-O-Crazy gets up from his seat, presses a button to summon a powered armor for him to wear, and starts to walk to the square one.)
Greed-O-Crazy: "Just as I thought, you're just a brash and impulsive jackbutt who only thinks in vengeance."
Mach Volcano: "Then, I will kill you... for my father... and for Wonder City!"
Greed-O-Crazy: "In this case, nunca vivirás sus expectativas! (Translation you will never live his expectations!)"
(Both assume their fighting stances.)
== Sub-Boss Cutscene: ==
(Greed-O-Crazy is defeated but he gets up easily.)
Greed-O-Crazy: "¡Es imposible que terminé derrotado por tu ira! (Translation: It's impossible that I was defeated by your anger!)"
Mach Volcano: "Enough of your corruption! You better get out of this place or I'll be forced to burn it entirely with you inside!"
Greed-O-Crazy: "If you do that, you will be remembered as a terrorist!"
(Mach Volcano slowly walks closer to Greed-O-Crazy and grabs him in the torso as he prepares to incinerate the mayor with his free fist charged with fire.)
Mach Volcano: "Your time is over, mayor! I'll kill you right now!"
Greed-O-Crazy: "Killing me will not make you a hero!"
????: "I want to talk with my son!"
Greed-O-Crazy: "Not... him!"
(Mach Volcano backs off as a white energy ray is coming somewhere and it hits Greed-O-Crazy, effectively dissintegrating him to death via black silhouette before the camera returns to normal.)
Mach Volcano: "Father? Is that you?"
(And it turns out, the one who did it, turns out it's Major Megapower, whom everyone thought he was dead, but in reality, he's alive and well. He shows up to scene.)
Major Megapower: "It is I, Francis... I'm alive and well."
Mach Volcano: "Glad you are really fine!"
Major Megapower: "I'm really proud of you, son."
Mach Volcano: "At last I'm better than that unspeakable witch."
Major Megapower: "Don't talk ill about your sister Veronica."
Mach Volcano: "She was never my sister in first place. She tried to flirt me."
Major Megapower: "I talked with her and sent her back home. For what she heard, you actually bullied her, and that's not good."
Mach Volcano: "And what about the truth about your supposed death?"
(Major Megapower grabs his own son's arm and goes flying with him to an abandoned observatory. Later, we cut to both of them landing to scene.)
Major Megapower: "Son! The truth is not what you think... there are things that it shouldn't ever come to light."
Mach Volcano: "I understand that, father! It's just that I want to save Wonder City and become your proud successor!"
Major Megapower: "Wonder City needs to be saved from itself, son. Plus, I actually heard you want to rule the city with an iron fist!"
(Mach Volcano angrily launches his Flaming Fists towards his own father, which he evades easily.)
Mach Volcano: "You think you used to be the ideal hero this city ever needed? Now I realized that you're just an old glory for me!"
Major Megapower: "You should treat me with more respect, son."
(Both assume their fighting stances.)
== Final Boss Cutscene: ==
(Major Megapower is trying to get up.)
Major Megapower: "Apologize for your disrespectful commentary, son!"
Mach Volcano: "I apologize for what I said earlier, but Wonder City needs a succesor, and that's me."
Major Megapower: "Then, If you really wish for it, help me to stop him!"
(Just when Mach Volcano attempts to help Major Megapower to get up, the screen turns black as we hear Major Megapower's death scream followed by blood splattering sounds by an unknown force before it retuns back to normal as Mach Volcano is getting shocked.)
Mach Volcano: *screaming* "FATHEEERRR!"
????: "He was a great hero, Francis Richardson... but his death was necessary."
Mach Volcano: "Then show yourself, unforgivable one!"
(Major Megapower's corpse [whose gory hole in the back is not shown on-screen] starts to dissolve into ashes and then we are treated with a black substance, and forming from it, is Xenozydos.)
Xenozydos: "And here you got! I am Xenozydos, mastermind of the biggest catastrophe you're witnessing now!"
Mach Volcano: "As for me, I'm the son of Alexander Richardson, whom you just killed!"
Xenozydos: "I did the correct choice of killing him, because he's attempting to rebel against me and the Overlord."
Mach Volcano: "He did it mostly for me, as well for the entire city."
Xenozydos: "Liar! The Richardsons are the most screwed family ever done! Alexander was no saint at all, not because he pledged his life to me."
Mach Volcano: "Tell me his real reason..."
Xenozydos: "Turns out your mother, and his wife, Lauren, got killed 15 years ago prior to the wedding day with your father, and a female Homunculus took her place, in both shape and memories. Once he realized the fact, he killed her."
Mach Volcano: "And what makes me in reality?"
Xenozydos: "You guessed it, you and Veronica are both born as Diclonii, half-human Homunculi hybrids, capable to do the worst of the things ever imagined."
(Mach Volcano got shocked at his true heritage as a Diclonius.)
Mach Volcano: "I can't believe it! I'm the son of an inhuman woman my father married all along."
Xenozydos: "And you have no choice than to pick two options: Join me in my personal war game and help the Overlord devour the life source of the entire planet... or die refusing my offer. There's no middle ground."
(Mach Volcano suddenly smirks and has decided to declare himself as a villain.)
Mach Volcano: "You know what, I got a third option: Take over your place... as the Overlord's herald!"
Xenozydos: "How this can be possible?"
(Xenozydos turns the abandoned observatory into an eldritch area filled with all things Lovecraftian, and above them, is the Overlord of the area, complete with a watching eye.)
Xenozydos: "In this case... prepare to die!"
Mach Volcano: "Once I finish you, I will turn Wonder City into my personal empire!"
Xenozydos: "Your flame will be turned off, Mach Volcano!"
(The final battle begins as both assume their fighting stances.)
== Ending: ==
(Mach Volcano gleefully burns an off-screen Xenozydos to death, complete with a malicious smile, in the eldritch world.)
Mach Volcano finally avenged his father's death at the hands of Xenozydos, but that action crossed the line for him, losing his sanity in process.
Mach Volcano: "Die, you inhuman sucker! This is for my father... and for my mother!"
(Later, we see in Major Megapower's Tomb, how the black substanced Homunculi are kneeling to Mach Volcano, who now spots a more malevolent variant of his outfit, with his purple parts being changed to brown and his red shader is now darkened.)
Realized that being hero bored him, he has no choice than to become a villain. He even discarded his previous name of Mach Volcano... much to the dismay of his late father.
Mach Volcano Scorcher: "In the name of the Overlord, I, Mach Scorcher, will make this city return to its original, ancient roots... as the Inhuman Empire!"
(Kuautemok arrives, only for him to see that his once friend has embraced the dark side.)
Now known as Mach Scorcher, he will rule the Inhuman Empire with an iron fist and will make sure everyone will bow to him. This act dissapointed his former friend Kuautemok.
Kuautemok: "Why you did it, Francis? We are supposed to be friends!"
Mach Scorcher: "No longer anymore, Mauricio... From now on, we're now enemies!" *laughs*
(The screen fades black after the ending.)
(Ki:Theory's "Enjoy the Silence" starts playing as the credits which background is a blue wall with hexagon patterns with the emblems of the characters showing up at once while the credits are rolling.)
