Battle
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Very well," Kimly turned from Superboy and looked toward a building off into the horizon. "one hour from now, you shall meet me there."
Superboy watched her finger point off toward he edge of town, "Why now are we going to meet there? I mean, why can't i just finish the tasks now? It is getting late, but I don't see why I can't just finish them now."
Kimly stared at him, 'did he want no time to prepare?'
"You may not understand, this test is one of strength. You will be fighting a creature from my world that even our fighters have been unable to defeat one on one."
He smiled, put a hand on his hip, and pulled down his glasses a little. "Do you realize who you are talking to? Remember you were sent here because of me, you said so yourself, you needed a hero. Well, here I am, and i can do this without preparing."
'The nerve of him,' Kimly scowled as he smirked at her. "Fine, I shall meet you there then." She turned to start her walk over to the building when her legs were taken out from beneath her.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
'Boy is she fiesty,' Superboy scooped the girl up in his arms, and lifted her into the sky.
"W...what are you doing?" She actually seemed scared.
Looking back down at her, 'this could be fun.' With an evil smirk on his face Superboy took Kimly up higher into the clouds.
"I...I.. could h..have made it fine o..on my own," she crossed her arms, and Superboy looked down at her.
'Was she actually trying to weesle out of a free trip?' He tipped her a little, and she practly strangled him when she latched her arms around his neck.
"What are you afraid I'll drop you," Superboy kept looking toward the building taking his time to get there.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"N..no, I, um, I just don't really like being this close to you." 'that was so stupid, is this not the person you choose to make the hero with?'
Kimly looks ahead and watches the building get closer, 'it is who I choose, but I did not think he would be like this.' Kimly fought in her head over how her decision seemed to backfire on her, leaving her in the preasance of a handsome young man who seemed to have swept her off her feet.
"We're almost there." She turned to look up at him when he spoke. She was not as afraid now, it felt good to have his arms holding her close to his warm body. For a second she let herself slip into a dream, what it would be like to be this being's lover......
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
'well, at least she's not all tence still' the girl in his arms seemed to be ignoring him all together now.
"hey, are you awake? we're here" Superboy landed near the door, and set the girl down feet first.
"Yes, are you all ready then?" She stood and tried to look normal, but he could detect a slight flush on her skin.
'She had been blushing the whole time hadden't she! what on earth could she had been thinking up there that would make her blush?'
He smirked as he thought of her being held tightly in his arms, with his chest pressed against hers when she had her arms around his neck. 'Well that could explain why she is that color.'
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
'Why was he smiling like that?' Kimly brought her hands up to her face, and noticed, to her dismay, that her skin had given her away.
"Well, if you are ready, then lets begain shall we?" Kimly walked into the large building, placed another box on the ground, and stomped her foot.
"I am not going in there!" Kimly giggled at the face he was making, then she realized her mistaske. 'Do not encourage him, he is not what you were expecting. If he fails you will be able to find a more suitable hero.'
"So, you think i'm funny huh?" Superboy gave her that sideways smile , and winked at her.
'The nerve of this boy!' Kimly looked back down at the box as it started to shake....
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
'Whoo, at least i don't have to go in there!' Superboy stood watching the box as it shook, and the lid opened.
"Wha...?" A large dark beast emerged from the confinds of the box.
'Hey, he doesn't look so tuff,' Superboy crossed his arms, and waited for the creature to completely leave the box.
'uh, oh' The mosnster was about twice Superboy's height, and, ducking out of the way, it seemed able to blow fire.
Everytime Superboy thruw a punch the monster took it and seemed to be fine.
'Come on Superman, what did Clark tell you?' Superboy flew around the room escaping the bursts of flame.
'use your surroundings. But what could i use here?' he looked around the room, but it was a sound that helped him most.
"kaww kaww" 'a seagul, that's it! Maybe if i put out this monsters fire breathing i can defeat him!'
"hey follow me hot stuff!" Superboy tossed a brick at the monster and it started to follow him outside.
'now to get him cooled off....'
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
'No, he couldn't have discovered the secret so soon! It took our men years to figure it out!' Kimly watched in horror as the 'Superboy' taunted the monster toward the ocean.
once there, he coased it onto a small pear, and then he broak it out from under the monster, causing it to fall into the water.
Kimly shut her eyes as the monster started to shrink, and look up at Superboy with its now large sad eyes.
Superboy went down to it, and brought it over to Kimly, "i belive this is yours."
'That same damn smile! I can't believe it. he wins two out of three matches, and he still has the nerve to rub it in my face!'
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"So if that was number two, then i'm almost done," He smiled that smile.
"When do i get the thrid, and what, may i ask, is it?"
"Me," the girl's anwswer was short and to the point, "you are to defeat me in battle."
She started to glow, her white clothing turned black, and shrunk.
Superboy's jaw dropped as he looked at the girl.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Her deep red hair was up so it wouldn't interfear with her abilities. And she wore a traditional fighting suit.
The black body suit fit perfect, and would not stop her from any of her physical attacks.
"When you are ready." thats when Superboy decided to wait for the next fight to 'prepare'.
