Ray visits Merdude and is fascinated by his origin story. As they are discussing the possibilities of Merdude being the first human ever transformed by Mutagen, Ray is invaded by a violent parasite worm who has been banished from his home planet. Bloho controls Ray and causes him to fight Merdude. Once that battle is over, however, Armaggon is waiting in the wings to take on the winner.
