A massive tendril of liquid shot up from beneath the pile of bones and flew straight at Viper and Orion as he attacked, aiming to flatten them into a pair of stains on the wall. The liquid then quickly formed a barrier above the boy's head to protect him from the attacks above. He cried out in pain as a few arrows got past and sank into his back. "Well pardon me, but I never had the chance to grow up and learn outside of the testing chamber of a laboratory!" He snarled. "Education and maturing isn't really on the agenda of a lab rat!" More and more black liquid began to seep upward from the bone-covered floor, covering Fredrick once again in the tarry liquid. Crossing his arms over his chest, he let out a snarl as the liquid began forming a sphere around him, whirling around him like an angry torrent. He then let out an ear-piercing shriek as the sphere pulsed outward, sending a wave of the liquid outward and upward.
