Chapter 36: Ambush

The crowd of Matoran and Humans running and screaming through the restraunt, came to a halt as Fire Lord made a sigh of annoyment, shooting up at the ceiling with a pistol. Instantly getting the message, everyone in the room stilled and quieted, directing their attention to the helmeted crime lord before them.

"Well alright then"., Fire Lord told them. "First off, good evening the sky is lovely isn't it"?

Then throwing his pistol to the ground, one of his thugs to obediently pick up for him. This imparticularly unloaded a round of fear into them. For they now knew that if they did anything wrong or funny, all it would take was a few words from him to get his men to kill them all. Fire Lord grinned from behind his helmet, seeing the fear in their eyes. He always LOVED seeing this in his victims. To him, it made his life all the more fun.

He continued: "Yeah, it's me". "I'm the one who issued that threat early this morning on this unacceptably pathetic waste of resources". "Waste of a city". "And believe me, I intend to keep this promise unless one of you tells me ONE, SIMPLE, ANSWER". The blade on Fire Lords staff glew a bright orange as he then asked in the most menacingly fearful tone he could manage: "Where, is, FIREMAN"?

He walked slowly through the crowd, obviously and impatiently waiting for an answer. But they stayed in a deafening silence and a fearful confusion. THEY didn't know who Fireman was. How COULD they?!

"Well"?!, Fire Lord yelled in his impatient anger.

No response. NOW Fire Lord was getting VERY ticked off. The signal led HERE. Surely ONE of these Matoran or people knew where this superhero wannabe was! Maybe he was hiding?!

Fire Lord sighed angrily, replying in an even angrier tone: "Alright then"., as he then took out an SMG pointing it at the crowd. "I swear, if not even ONE of you tells me WHERE Fireman IS, I'm gonna close my eyes and pull this trigger which would be a real shame since I won't know what I'm shooting at"!

"HALT"!, Fire Lord heard a female voice yell far to his right side.

Fire Lord turned to sounds point of origin, seeing the familiar green armored cop pointing a rifle at him. Obviously an attempt to get him to surrender. It was to be either that or get shot at, as Breeze hoped he would soon find out for himself.

"YOU"., Fire Lord said in his instant recognization. "Everyone see this cop"? "Right here"? Then looking at Breeze, he said: "I tied you to a chair and kept you as a hostage meant only to die". Throwing his SMG to the ground, letting a marlika pick it up. "Did I not, young girl"?

Fire Lord walked slowly towards her, hoping for either two outcomes. A scare or a courageous but at the same time meaningless last stand. As he started to walk closer, Breeze loaded a round into her rifle, cocking it and pointing it once more. Of course it was gonna be the courage option., Fire Lord thought. Stupid cops.

"I said HALT"!, Breeze yelled.

Fire Lord stopped, turning to his thugs and marlikas. Turning back to Breeze, he and his gang shared a short laugh, Fire Lord laughing in a way that made shivers go down the spines of all the hostages.

Then glaring at her from behind his helmet, Fire Lord asked: "Do you really think that something as simple as a GUN is gonna kill me"? "Because that's exactly what those other cops tried before I ripped them to pieces".

Breeze didn't waste any more time. She aimed at Fire Lords leg, pulling the trigger. Breeze saw the bullet zoom towards Fire Lords leg and expected to see a small explosion of blood followed by a howl of pain. Instead, it stopped at the plating on his leg, dropping to the floor with a clank. Crap.

"Kevlar"?, Breeze asked him.

Fire Lord laughed. "No I'm afraid not"., Fire Lord told her. "In fact it's something much much stronger than kevlar, and I'd tell all of you what it is, but I'm a little too bored to start explaining things".

Fire Lord slowly walked closer to Breeze, making her back away.

"Oh by the way, that TICKLED"., Fire Lord told her in his menacing tone.

"Then THIS is gonna HURT"!, Fire Lord heard another familiar voice say to his right.

Fire Lord quickly turned as a white metal fist collided with his mask and knocked him far across from where his attacker was standing. His back made impact with the floor, making a loud thudding sound that echoed across the room. Flipping up, he looked towards the direction of his attacker. Just as he predicted! It was truly none other than the armored crusader himself. Fireman.

"Kill him"., Fire Lord commanded.

Fireman turned to the charging four thugs and three marlikas, bracing himself for the fight to come. The first thug swung a fist, Fireman blocked it with his arm, then hitting the thug in the center of his face, knocking him across and out.

The second thug swung HIS fist. Fireman pointed the front of his left fist in the direction of the thugs fist. The Thugs fist made impact with Firemans, then pulling back and screaming in pain as his bare fingers turned purple. Fireman then punched the thug hard in the gut, making him bend down so Fireman could knock him out with a lethal kick to the face.

The third thug swung a pipe. The pipe did nothing as fireman stood still, giving him a look of amusement. As the thug looked up at Fireman in the confusion of the failure of his weapon, Fireman rushed his head forward. THUNK! The top of Firemans mask hit the forehead of the thug, knocking him out instantly.

Three marlikas and one thug left, still CHARGING at him. Fireman sighed as he waited for their next attacks. Didn't these guys EVER know when they were outmatched? The first Marlika swung his sword. Fireman grabbed his wrist, twisting it and pulling him over his shoulder, hard onto the ground and kicking him in the head, then using his unconscious body as a club, making sure it kicked the next thug hard in the face, knocking him out.

Fireman dropped the marlika and grabbed his sword as the last two Marlikas charged at him. Both swung their sword and Fireman jumped over them, holding onto the blade of the sword and swinging the handle of the said sword across the back of one of their heads, knocking him out. Fireman twirled before landing, so he could face the last Marlika before he swung at him.

When he swung, Fireman jumped up, flipping forward and landing on the Marlikas blade, then kicking him in the face with a backflip, knocking the Marlika back as fireman silently landed back on the ground.

"Well, That was easy"., Fireman thought aloud. He turned first to the bionicles and people who stared at him in awe. He just SAVED them! They were all told that Fireman was a criminal, but now it was clear that Fireman was just someone who wanted to help. A few gave him a nod of thanks and Fireman quickly nodded back before then turning to the source of Breezes voice screaming: "Let me go"!

Fireman saw Fire Lord holding Breeze like any criminal would a hostage if they thought that hostage was a sack of potatoes. Fire Lord quickly began to run up the stairs and Fireman followed. Not again Fire Lord., Fireman thought, quickly running up the stairs after him. You ruined my date, now I'm gonna ruin your FACE! Fire Lord had to go down at some point. And that point had to be NOW.

111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111

Once Fireman had then made it to the top of the stairs, he quickly looked to his left. His heart nearly stopped as he saw a smiling Fire Lord holding the sizzling orange blade his staff, close to Breeze's neck. Fire Lords smile widened as he saw the look of horror in Firemans face. To him, that was good. It meant he had his attention.

"Tell me, how far are willing to go to bring me to your false definition of justice"?, Fire Lord asked in a menacing tone. "How far are you willing to go to best me"? "How far are you willing to go, to find the truth"?

Firemans mind completely ignored the fact that Fire Lord had just said the truth as if he knew what happened, and replied: "Let her go Fire Lord"!

"Oh, you mean THIS one, right"?, Fire Lord asked him, then laughing. "She got into my business, and you expect to let her go"?

"She was just following orders"!, Fireman told him.

Fire Lord looked down at Breeze, saying: "Maybe so". Then looking back up at Fireman: "But just like all those other meaningless citizens, this thing is as meaningless as your lost cause".

Did he just call her a THING?!, Fireman thought. CALM DOWN please., he then thought to himself. Just try your best to stay calm and you might get her out of this ok. Please Furno, for HER.

"It's easy to dismiss what you don't understand"., Fireman told him. "But this fight is between you and me so let her go". "These citizens have almost nothing to do with this".

Fireman saw Fire Lord move the blade of his staff dangerously closer to Breezes neck, then screaming: "Do you not know who the MARL is you stupid boy"?! "They have EVERYTHING to do with our little conflict"!

In an instant anger, Fireman pointed both gauntlets forward, screaming: "LET HER GO"!

Fire Lord smiled, saying: "Very well"., then throwing her off the edge of the roof.

NO!, Fireman thought, instantly activating his wings and zooming past Fire Lord. Fireman made himself go downwards and made the boosters of his wing work harder, hoping Breeze wasn't dead yet. No, not yet. But as of right now, she was falling and screaming. And the ground was quickly getting closer. COME ON, PLEASE!, Fireman nearly screamed.

Fireman made a silent prayer before then feeling his arms wrap around her. Yes!, Fireman thought. He had caught her! He quickly turned off his wings, flipping upwards in the air before then turning his wings back on, flying quickly upwards so they wouldn't hit the ground. Just then, Fireman was able to fly up into the air, Breeze still in his arms.

"I've got you"., Fireman assured her as he then flew towards another rooftop. One that would hopefully be high enough to keep her away from Fireman and Fire Lords fight. He had to get her to one quickly too! If there was one thing he had managed to figure out as of right now, it was that their fight was far from over.

11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111

Fire Lord just stood on that place of the hard stone roof where he was, watching as Fireman carried Breeze to another rooftop. He had just seen the whole thing. He SAW how Fireman rescued her. How he held her. As interesting as this seemed to him, he now had to focus on the advantages he had over his enemy. One, he knew his weakness. Two, he currently had a distractive advantage over him.

"Impressive toys"., Fire Lord said aloud. "Now it's about time I showed MINE".

Fire Lord punched something on his legs, making the metal armor on his legs, shift into flight boosters. Fire Lord jumped then off of the edge of the roof as the boosters ignited, spitting a fire that balanced him in flight. Then, looking forward to make sure he didn't lose him, Fire Lord flew fast into Firemans direction...
