//New And Improved//

A mass of thick discolored viscous fluid rested on the sands of mars, slowly bubbling and shifting constantly without pause, radiating a deep blue yet clear hue as the shades of the fluid started to shift between white, green, and red, occasionally a mixture of all three, it finally halted at a lighter more brown shade, filled with a secondary purple color that spawned at its center, the two colors mixed in an incoherent swirl that gently rose from the sand.

The viscous fluid soon began to writhe and expand abruptly, slowly spiraling out into the unstable foundation of a humanoid figure, bones began to form and grow out of the foundation into a heavily reinforced skeletal structure with an absurd level of density while a thin membrane soon formed over it, next, the tissue began to form as veins and arteries materialized in many intricate patterns to soon fulfill their purpose, graphene-like muscle fibers coiled and compressed into threads of muscles and Spread through the entire of the Foundation.

Individually, organs and glands soon formed, followed by an array of hypersensitive yet controlled nerves and all other sensory networks within the body, with the addition of a few others, self-sufficient blood cells began to fill the veins and spread throughout the body. Reaching the final Stage, a near-impenetrable layer of highly flexible skin slowly began to form over the framework of the body, covering every inch.

As the finishing touch, long platinum-colored hair quickly grew from their distinct areas as a massive burst of heat permeated the area around, crystalizing the sand in an instant. The form was complete, descending to the crystalized ground below, the deep blue glow that was once present faded into the figure as it stood.

The figure slowly began to open its pupil-less eyes, lacking any color than the purple hue that held unwavering strength within them. The figure looked down at the floor, using it as a mirror to witness its new form.

"This is far beyond what I was expecting, way more painful than my volcano stunt"-Spencer

Looking at his reflection in the crystalized sand, he immediately noticed that his hair was much longer than before, reaching down the middle of his back, and his eyes have once again changed. Standing up, he also noticed that his skin color had a minor adjustment, but it was nothing to worry about.

Taking a few minutes to adjust to his entirely new body, Spencer felt relatively normal, except for the absurd multiplier in his condition and the fact that memories of the creatures that he absorbed up to this point had become increasingly vivid. if not for his increased sense of self, he felt as if he would lose who he was in the sea of memories.

Brushing it off, Spencer searched the sea for the memories of the two Martians Specifically, using them as a medium to access the abilities he gained from them. Finding what he was looking for not long after, he soon realized that to make proper use of the abilities belonging to the Martian race, he would have to maintain a heightened state of concentration while they are active.

"That's going to be a task in itself, they make it look so easy when they do it. First things first"-Spencer

Sighing to himself, Spencer looked down at his reflection, getting a full first-class view of his nakedness, though he was proud, he didn't want to walk around full flash anymore. Using his newly completed shapeshifting ability, his body began to change into clothing matching that of the black Superman outfit from the death of superman timeline.

"looking good(if I do say so myself)"-Spencer

Seeing his changes take place just as he wanted, Spencer went on to test out the other gifts that he received. Analyzing every detail of the Martians memories and personally testing the abilities first hand, Spencer quickly grew adept at using them without much strain, size and shape alteration, organic constructs, even appearance alteration became easier for him as he did a few impersonations in the spare time, and out of unjust curiosity changed his gender a tiny bit.

He was roughly getting a hand of the basic physical Aspects of his Martian gifts, but when it came down to his psionic abilities, he had no ideas of how he would access them or see how they would work when scanning through the white Martians memories, using telepathy was a highly passive ability they used for basic communication, it was difficult to analyze. Deciding that it would come to him in time.

"I should get this over with now before it affects me later"-Spencer

Spencer began to float and rest in a lotus position, promptly clearing his mind, he began to sink into his subconscious, descending into the core of his abilities and delving into his evergrowing pit of DNA.

Within the borders of his mind, Spencer could sense the various orbs of concentrated essence floating inside of his core, scanning through the bundle, Spencer's eyes halted on a specific pool of essence that was expressing itself strongly above the others, dispensing a white light over all the others. Floating towards the orb of, Spencer held it in his hand and began to focus a small amount of inner energy into it.

The orb of essence began to grow brighter and brighter until the color soon began to change to a deeper orange fiery hue, as he soon began pushing a larger amount of his inner energy towards the orb. Coming to the outside world, Spencer's body no longer looked the same as before, his appearance at the moment quickly morphed and changed into that of nothing less of a full martian, except for the uncanny orange skin and flames emanating from his figure.

The orb refused to advance any further and remained as it was, it was as if a piece of the sequence was somehow missing, not knowing what it was, Spencer simply released the orb and looked at the large sea of essence within his core, since he had the chance, he decided to ultimately combine his new traits with the old and enhance them all at once.

Spencer mentally commanded for the orbs to surround his body in the form of a spiral grid, he then began to meld the many different orbs together in rapid succession, forming a bigger and bigger sphere of concentrated essence. The orb grew to massive proportions once all of the orbs within the space had melded together, all except the orange fiery orb.

walking up to the massive orb at the center of the space, Spencer formed a ball of inner energy within his palm and continued to fuel it with larger concentrations to make the union more powerful. Condensing the ball to the size of a marble, Spencer reached out to place it within the sphere.

"Here comes the hard part"-Spencer

Infusing his inner energy with the essence sphere, it had an immediate response on contact with the ball of inner energy. The Sphere began to warp and shift as the structure began to deform and struggle to maintain itself, Spencer placed himself in a state of heightened concentration and began to focus on regulating the Sphere and prevent it from collapsing.

After some time the Sphere began to build resistance to Spencer's attempts and continued to go out of control.

"Damn it"-Spencer

As a last effort, Spencer began to compress the massive sphere into a smaller form to keep it all from falling apart and resetting all of his progress, this seemed to work as the sphere began to calm down and stabilize, or that's what was thought, the Spere imploded and abruptly expanded, launching Spencer out of the Subconscious mindscape and forcing him back into reality.

Opening his eyes vigorously, Spencer held his head as his body reverted to its human state, and the flames enveloping his body dissipating into nothing.

"Should have seen that one"-Spencer

Rubbing his head, Spencer took to his feet and did a quick recap.

"I managed to enhance the Martian essence within my body, but it seems as if the sequence is incomplete, I might have to find some green to see what I can learn from them"-Spencer

Clapping his hands together, generating a small gust of wind, Spencer set his second plan into motion. Sending out a psionic pulse, a fusion of his energy pulse and his new martian psionic abilities, Spencer was enlightened by how much he was missing, scattered across the planet's surface were numerous signals that reverberated in his brain, he could sense them, along with their standing, a variety of the signals appeared calm and tranquil, akin to peaceful philosophers, the others were savage and barbaric, but this awareness was not one-sided, he could feel that they could sense him as well.

He came to notice that a large majority of the more peaceful race were clumped together in a bundle, making his next waypoint obvious. Elegantly hovering into the atmosphere, Spencer flew in the direction of the signals hoping to get more from his experience on mars.

A smile creeping on his face, Spencer was very excited about what he could have in store for him next.
