Dark walls surrounded our hero as he chased his foe down a narrow alley. His screams for him to halt were not followed, and he received loud drunken laughter instead. Through the turns, spins, and constant obstructions in the way, Burgboy tried with all his might to catch up with the dreaded Dark Scone. The hero began to sprint, becoming within arms reach of the drunkard. However, his enemy noticed. With a smirk, he tossed a tube out of his pocket, nearly hitting Burgboy's face. He stopped to back away from it, thinking it was a bomb of some sort. The demon often threw dangerous things, but that time fumes of smoke came seeping out of the tube, causing our hero to cough as he inhaled a bit of it.

Continuing to laugh, Dark Scone ran out of the area, choosing complex routes in order to lose the nuisance. Burgboy had another idea in mind. Quickly rising off of the ground, he flew above the streets, still coughing some of the smoke out of his lungs. He attempted to find his nemesis, but no cigar. He huffed and took another glance around. "Well, I guess he got away this time." Burgboy sighed and turned, only to see a building on fire, "I never get a break. No matter! Burgboy will save the day!"

With a horrid laugh that caused the homeless children near him to cry, Burgboy flew down to the street the building was on, running with deep breaths toward the front. He took a look around, trying to see what he could do to stop the fire and to see if anyone was even inside. It looked like no one was; everyone was just standing outside, not calling the fire department as usual. At first he missed something, but on a second glance he spotted Mapleman, screaming at the top of his lungs to the concerned onlookers. They weren't paying attention to him, but he addressed them either way, "And so! With this gasoline! I will make this fire grow even fiercer before your very eyes! I bet you'll be dying to look at me now!"

A poorly dressed woman pointed at Burgboy and smiled widely. "Look everyone! It's Burgboy! He'll put out the fire!" The crowd agreed and started to chant, only then noticing Mapleman screaming for them to look at him.

"He can't put out fires! So there's nothing he can do!" Mapleman opened his canister of gasoline, shuffling closer to the building. "All he can do is watch as this building with no purpose burns to the ground!" The crowd gasped as he readied his container to splash the gasoline on the fire. Burgboy flew to the sky and quickly fly-kicked him in the face. Mapleman threw the gas into the air and shrieked as it fell into the fire. The flames flared dangerously close to the weeds on the sidewalk, which was bad since everyone likes pretty weeds.

Burgboy wrestled with Mapleman as he struggled to be pinned to the cement. The fire was quite close to them; they tried to roll away from it, but the spectators were in the way. Mapleman kicked from the side, and though he was aiming for Burgboy, he ended up tripping an elderly man. The crowd ran off, thinking that they would be hurt if they remained in the area. There was a fight, there was fire, and it was a bad neighborhood; why else wouldn't they leave. The locals watched on from afar as the men pulled at each other's hair and slashed at their faces.

Finally, Mapleman inhaled deeply, and Burgboy paused, thinking he was having an asthma attack or something. "H-Hey! You alright?!" And with that, Mapleman spat a large amount of burning maple syrup in his face. Burgboy shrunk off of his enemy and rubbed at his eyes, and the other became invisible, onlookers only knowing that he ran away by the sound of running feet. That did not stop Burgboy. He got right back up, the small crowd cheering him on, and chased Mapleman. He tried to at least. The guy was a tricky devil, and it didn't help that he could become invisible.

A sigh escaped from our hero as he once again flew above the alleys in an attempt to find his opponent. Finding nothing, he went back to the burning building and called the fire department from a pay phone. Watching the firemen put out the fire was the only satisfaction he received all day.

Will our hero ever get a break? Will he catch Mapleman? Will he catch DARK SCONE? Stay tuned in the next chapter of The Adventures of Burgboy: Another Superhero!
