When they opened the door, smoke poured out of the room. When they could see again, they saw a room like a mad scientist's lab, full of vials and beakers full of strange chemicals. In the middle of the room was a lab table, with two broken beakers spilling out contents that were on fire. Standing around the table were Bix and Phineas, both with black ashes on their faces. Standing at the head of the table, with a crazy grin on his face, was a man Marc has never seen before. He had electric blue hair, and was holding a vial that was cracked open and oozing something onto his gloved hands. The room was quiet for a solid 3 seconds, then the man said, "Well, now we know that makes it explode." Then the man cackled with glee. "That was fun! Now that I know that will explode, it's my new favorite mixture!" The man exclaimed. "Um, C, aren't you supposed to make things not explode?" Astrian mumbled. Marc was kinda scared. This man, C, was mad. He had a crazy look in his eyes, and his laugh, terrifying. Then the guy noticed Marc, and then he spoke, "Well! Who's this, so brave as to stand in my presence without a word spoken?" Marc's heart stopped. This, this guy terrified him. How? Marc is usually fearless, but is scared of this? Well, he is actually pretty scary, considering he's probably crazy. "Um, I'm- I-....." Marc's voice abandoned him in that moment. Just great. Now what?

"Well, Phineas, it seems our new friend here is at a loss for words! How's about we help him out?" The guy said. "Ok, I'll start! The name's Christian, and I control chemistry. Y'know, mixing things and making them explode!" Marc still couldn't find his voice, which was a problem, since they were on introductions. Thankfully, Bix spoke up for him, "Oh! Christan, this is Marc! He's been meeting everyone today, and you're the only one he hasn't met yet!" Ok, now Marc kinda felt like that offended Christian, so he got scared. "So, saving me for last, huh?" Christan remarked, "I guess I'm the grand finale! Saving the best for last, brilliant!" Phew, at least he wasn't offended. Marc didn't want to see this guy when he was angry. "Yeah, so what exactly happened in here?" Astrian questioned. Well now he had a voice, but why was Marc so scared to talk? Maybe it was because Christian was terrifying. "So, can I go now?" Marc asked, "I've met all of you, and I was very busy when Phineas barged in." Oh thank goodness, he could speak again. "Sure, we had nothing else to do with you anyways." Phineas stated, "Just make sure to get to the meeting tomorrow, got it?" "Ok," Marc said, "I'll be there." And without another word said, Marc started the long walk back to his office.
