Chapter 4
Authors Note: Congratulations to Luna246 for selecting the 2 names for my OCs! Henceforth, the blue lizard will be called Jasper Lizard, and the green lizard will be called George Lizard. Now, on with the story!
Jasper flapped his wings and soared into the sky, while George launched a massive plasma attack on Blue Inferno. Blue Inferno simply absorbed the plasma spheres with some blue fire and launched them back at George. George ran up a wall as Jasper swooped down like a bird of prey. Jasper bared his teeth and readied his claws for an attack on Blue Inferno. Blue Inferno easily sent him sprawling with a volley of blue fireballs. George ran at Blue Inferno on all four limbs and threw himself onto her back. She shook him off in time for an energy scream from Jasper to hit her. Blue Inferno was sent flying through the air and landed heavily. She got up and launched a blast of blue fire at Jasper, who turned intangible, and the fire passed right through him. Jasper turned tangible again and spread his wings for another aerial attack. George blasted Blue Inferno from behind with his plasma spheres. She turned her attention to George as Jasper kicked her while flying overhead. Blue Inferno focused her next attack on George, and sent him flying into a tree where he became unconscious from the crash. "George!" Jasper yelled, and then, something snapped inside of him. He had been transformed into a freak, beaten by Blue Inferno, chased by police, and now, Blue Inferno had hurt his only friend in this world. Suddenly, Blue Inferno was attacked by a vicious whirlwind of scratches, punches and kicks. Blue Inferno recoiled from the attacks dealt by Jasper, attempting to dodge and block Jaspers attacks but failing. Unfortunately for Jasper, he did not have infinite energy. He started to slow down, and Blue Inferno attacked with a blast of fire. "Aaaaagh," screamed Jasper, as a badly burnt left arm fell to the ground. Suddenly, fingers poked out from his shoulder. In the next 10 seconds, an arm grew out of his shoulder and settled into place. Jasper flexed his new arm and grinned. Blue Inferno took this chance. She launched a massive stream of fire, hitting Jasper right in the chest. Taken by surprise, he was unable to turn intangible and the fire engulfed him. He was thrown 60 feet away and crumpled to the ground. By this time, the Loonatics had gotten up and prepared to fight Blue Inferno. George had regained consciousness and joined them. Blue Inferno however, decided that it was time to escape again, and fled. Immediately, Tech rushed over to Jasper and checked his status. "Jasper's still alive, but he's been burnt badly. Look, his left eye probably won't be working anytime soon. There are bad burns on his abdomen, left leg and right arm. He will survive, but only if I can get him to HQ. At our HQ, I might be able to rig up some temporary electronic armor for his body parts that will allow him to recover and allow the flesh to grow back and heal," Tech announced. "You heard Tech. Loonatics, let's jet," Ace said. They readied their jet packs and took off, with Tech carrying Jasper.
Back at the Loonatics' HQ, Tech had finished building the pieces for the armor that would protect what was left of Jasper and help him recover. Tech added the electronics onto Jasper, fixating them so they became part of him. Tech had to block Jaspers power to regenerate limbs in the spots where he added the armor so Jasper wouldn't lose it. Finally, Tech attached the electronic eye that would serve as a replacement until his actual eye grew back with the recovery gel that the armor pumped into his skin. Then Tech waited for Jasper to wake up so he could explain what had happened.
Jasper woke up. He felt terrible, like he had been torn apart, reassembled, and then tortured. He turned his head and saw Tech standing next to the table that he was on. "Ah, good, you're awake. You were severely injured so I made you some recovery armor to help you heal. It stops you from regenerating limbs in the places where it's attached," Tech said. "Okay," Jasper replied. Jasper got up and went into the kitchen to make himself a sandwich. He ate the sandwich, drank some water, curled up on the couch and went to sleep.
Author's Note: Sorry this chapter's so short, but I wanted to update and I couldn't think of anything else.
