 The next day, Royce appears at school, and to Frankie's surprise, Royce had grown noticeably bigger, taller, and stronger than before, able to tear a hardback school textbook in half like it was paper; to Frankie's dismay, he blows Frankie off as a "loser," now that the Big Bang liquid was starting to take effect.This is not enough for Royce; after the results of just smelling the gas, he plans to drink the liquid and see what will happen to him next.Royce never got to go through with it; during a class test, Royce spontaneously mutates into a hideous, misshapen humanoid Bang-Baby, with pale pink skin and a primitive mentality.
