While fighting Carmen Dillo, Static encounters a large amoeba with a taste for meat, mainly people. Static shocks it and grabs a piece of it to study. He and Richie go into school after hours to study it, and run into Frieda and her friends who want to write a protest about lack of funding for the school newspaper. After studying the amoeba, they learn it was mutated by the big bang but are unsure how to stop it. The amoeba escapes the lab and runs through the school with Virgil giving chase. But the large amoeba hones in on its missing piece, and runs through the school grounds looking for people to eat. Static finds out that the amoeba is hurt by disinfectant, and grabs two large canisters of disinfectant, dumping it on the creature. It dissolves and Dakota is saved.
