Prologue Fire and water collided, superheated steam, and I shot upward from the heart of the volcano in a huge explosion, just one piece of flotsam thrown free by a million pounds of pressure. The last thing I remember before losing consciousness was flying, flying so high Zeus would never have forgiven me, and then beginning to fall, smoke and fire and water streaming from me. I was a comet hurtling towards the earth.
When I woke I still felt like I was on fire. I looked around to see an underwater structure, with lights and signs for something called a plasmid, with slogans like "Don't Wait, Incinerate".

"If he were justa child then how did he get down here, first of all?" The large man bellowed "And second of all how did he get down here through the aqua duct?" There were several questioning murmurs. All eyes were suddenly focused on me. "Get him and start him out with Electro bolt". Suddenly the pain from my previous injuries became too much to bear, and I blacked out
