Cole vit l'eau se lever, et imagina qu'elle avait l'intention d'avoir toute la colonne de liquide en lui. Il s'est avéré qu'il avait en partie raison. Le grand ruisseau qui se divise en ruisseaux plus petits est venu comme une petite surprise, mais il était confiant dans la gestion sans beaucoup de problème. Il s'est lancé dans l'action, se liant à travers le mur alors qu'il s'éloignait rapidement des petits jets d'eau.
Cependant, un en particulier est arrivé légèrement trop près pour le confort, interrompant sa concentration. Il perdit son emprise sur le mur, mais atterrit habilement à quatre pattes alors qu'un autre jet se dirigeait tout droit vers lui. À l'aide de ses griffes effilées, il a détourné la plupart de ses griffes pour tirer de part et d'autre de lui, réduisant considérablement son impact. Compte tenu du fait qu'il était de retour au sol, il était presque immédiatement en mouvement à nouveau à la vitesse maximale.
Voyant que Sarah se concentrait sur une flaque à proximité, il s'est dirigé vers l'arène et lui a chargé directement du dos d'une griffe levée, en ayant l'intention de livrer une grève avant qu'elle ne puisse redevenir liquide, ou d'établir toute forme de défense.
Name: Cole Ryder
Age: 16
Appearance:










Power: Anatomical beast-like transformation that comes with strong, razor-sharp claws and teeth, as well as enhanced speed and agility. His transformation is not triggered by emotion, and does not involve a significant increase in his overall size. He also has heightened senses of hearing and smell, which are passive abilities that are present even when he is not in his beast form.

Cole can only stay in his beast form within a limited timespan before he is unable to think rationally. For the first ten seconds after he decides to transform, he will lash out at any immediate threat. He will then be in full control of his actions for the next five minutes before the animalistic instinct of the beast gradually starts to creep in. After ten minutes, his mind will be completely taken over by bloodlust, and he will need to be temporarily incapacitated (by tranquilizing or otherwise) for him to return to his normal form. He is able to deliberately revert back to his normal form only before the ten-minute mark.

Background: Cole was born into a wealthy family with his parents being well-known business figures. Growing up, he had never shown signs of having any superhuman abilities, until one unfortunate night when he was snatched off of the street by a couple of abductors who presumably planned on demanding a ransom from his well-to-do parents. That was when Cole's ability activated for the very first time. The released beast of the previously struggling teenager lashed out at the stunned and terrified captors, ripping out their throats before Cole reverted back to his human form.
Coming to a realization of what he was and what he had done, he fled the scene and never returned home either, not knowing how to face his family. The traumatized teenage boy was then found in his blood-stained clothes, aimlessly wandering the streets soon after, and brought to the Haven where he did not have to be afraid of being ostracized or judged for his abilities.
