Hotter than Hellion
Wow! 54 reviews! I never thought I'd get that many for a story! I got 54 for "Halloween Hijinks!" but that story was 13 chapters long. This is Chapter 12! BTW, the title "Hotter than Hellion" is inspired by a song. Guess the song and the band.
To Wizard1: Yep, Jake is immune to Rogue's powers in both the Genesis-verse and the Misfit-verse. He does have the Dragon Barrier, as it is a part of his mutation. Ugly is right when it comes to this fight. And I plan to reveal another power Jake has soon... I'll leave you to guess.
To RogueFanKC: Yep, even in the heat of battle, Fox will still try to get some. I've been a fan of wrestling since around 1998. I love classic matches the best, like past Wrestlemanias. I love reading about past wrestling events, so I learned a lot about wrestling's history. In fact, my love of wrestling inspired me to create Jake! I thought it'd be cool if the X-Men had a member of a wrestling dynasty in its universe.
To Red Witch: Well, I'd say Emma's pretty burned already. Draconis is attacking his "fellow" Hellions, Ace was never a real member, and Fox has essentially betrayed her.
To Sparky Genocide: I've seen the movie, but I don't get the joke. Anyway, I love the MTV Spidey cartoon, but they seem to have no more new episodes! WHAT'S GOING ON HERE!?!?! I did think their version of Electro was much too odd, though.
To Aaron: Most likely the only one who can truly defeat Draconis once and for all is Jake himself. And I think the X-Men, Avengers, and Misfits will forgive Jake. Although their bodies might not for a while...

(Inside Jake's mind)
Jean attacked, trying to contain the black dragon in a telekinetic bubble. Draconis could feel the bubble getting smaller, squeezing him tighter and tighter.
"GAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!! RELEASE ME AT ONCE, HUMAN!!!" The black dragon roared. Meanwhile, Ace and Fox tended to Jake.
"C'mon man, wake up!" Fox slapped Jake's chin lightly. "I don't get it! This is Jake's mind! Why would he be in this state?"
"Jake and Draconis share a mind, remember?" Ace said. "Emma's strengthened the Draconis personality so much he's able to conquer the only other personality in Jake's mind. Jake himself. Haven't you noticed we're in a wrestling ring? Jake and Draconis were probably battling in this thing for years on end!"
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!" Jean screamed. Draconis had burst his way out of the bubble, and he had just given the telepathic redhead a devastating clothesline.
"HOW DARE YOU CHALLENGE ME?!?!" Draconis roared at a downed Jean. "I AM SUPREME!!!" He lifted her up and raised her over his head. He was preparing to deliver a backbreaker, but got ambushed, making him drop the redhead. "AAAAHHHH!!!!" Draconis got blasted by ten blue laser beams and a pair of streams of flame.
"Now!" Fox yelled. Ace jumped on a turnbuckle and leapt, nailing Draconis with a missile dropkick, then a couple charged claw slashes to the face. Fox ran at Draconis, spearing him into another turnbuckle. The orange- haired Detroit native then slapped the black dragon with a few fiery chops, Ace adding a few more slashes of his own. An angry Draconis shoved them away, and fired a burst of flames, forcing them to dodge. Draconis looked up, and a huge cell appeared over the ring.
"Aw no..." Jake moaned. "Hell in the Cell."
"Uhhnh..." Jean got up, clutching her head. Despite the pain, she activated her powers.
"What?" Draconis found himself hovering in the air. Jean telekinetically slammed him into the cage wall. "AAGH!!!" She then slammed him into another wall.
"Jake!" She called out to the brutalized red-haired wrestler. "Jake! You have to help us! You can beat him!" She screamed as Draconis grabbed her throat and pitched her through the cage.
"No I can't! Emma double-crossed me! He's too powerful! He's destroying all your friends outside!" Jake wailed. "I can't beat him!" Ace jumped on Draconis, and started slashing.
"Jake, Draconis is a part of you! You're the dominant mind!" Ace yelled. "YIIII!!!" Draconis smashed Ace into the cell wall, head-first! "AAAHHHH!!!"
"C'mon, Jake!" Fox said, nailing Draconis with a spear. "Give us a hand! You have to beat this guy! You're in control!"
"Not anymore." Draconis snarled. He grabbed Fox's leg. "You are seriously beginning to annoy me!" Draconis, with an evil smile, twirled Fox around, then smashed him into the ring canvas. "The wrestling ring was always a second home to me! I grew up among people who fought on this mat every night for years on end!" Draconis smirked, as he gathered up Fox, Ace, and Jean. "I like to think of pro wrestlers as modern-day gladiators. Wrestlers fight for various things: Money, titles, honor. I fight for power." Draconis lifted up Jean. He put her face up to his. "Your little Jedi- wannabe mind tricks aren't going to help you now." He readied to finish Jean off with a chokeslam.
"No!" Jake staggered into the ring. He clutched his side in pain. "Leave them alone, Draconis!" The black dragon smirked, dropping Jean.
"I see you want to get beaten some more, Jake." Draconis smirked, walking slowly towards the wounded red-and-yellowhead. Ace slowly got to his feet, thanking God for his healing factor. Jake tried to throw a punch, but Draconis caught it with speed that rivaled Pietro's. The smirk never left Draconis's face as he caught the punch. He squeezed Jake's fist, making him scream in pain. Ace lunged, slashing into Draconis's back.
"AAAAAAAGGGGGHHHHH!!!!" Draconis roared. He hit Ace with a backhand, but the feral mutant wouldn't give up. He lunged again, locking in a headlock. "Rrrrrrrrrrr..." Jake slowly got to his feet.
"Ungh." Jake moaned. Draconis threw Ace off him, and the feral landed on top of Jake, knocking him down. The enraged black dragon stomped toward the two. He threw Ace off Jake, then lifted the red-haired wrestler by the front of his tattered costume.
"Why can't I destroy you?" Draconis growled. "I batter you into submission ten ways over, but you still live! Why?! WHY?!"
"Because he's stronger." Jean groaned as she slowly got up, using the ring ropes to help her get to her feet. "His personality was always dominant. You're just a fragment of that personality." Fox and Ace slowly got up. "Jake's personality contains his entire self. You're just a mere piece of it." Draconis's eyes glowed red with rage. He turned to Jean, dropping Jake.
"You red-haired wench!" Draconis snarled. "I'll teach you to insult me!" Jean held him back with her TK. Draconis struggled and snarled as he tried to move forward. Jean was finding she had to drag more and more effort as she tried to hold back the black dragon. It was like trying to fight the Hulk: Attacking him made him angrier, and his anger seemed to make him stronger and stronger. "I AM THE TRUE PERSONALITY!!!!" Draconis roared. Jake watched the whole thing.
"You can't beat him, Jean!" Jake cried. "I tried. I can't do it! He's invincible! Emma's powered him up so much. I can't beat him." Jake winced as Draconis broke Jean's shield and got ready to piledrive her, but Fox kicked him, making him drop her. Jean hit her head on the turnbuckle. Draconis roared as he kicked Fox hard then powerbombed him right into the floor. Ace fired his claw blasts, but Draconis dodged with incredible speed. The few blasts that did hit him seemed to not hurt him at all. Draconis grabbed Ace and squeezed him in a bearhug. Ace screamed as he felt his arms and ribs break and crack multiple ways over. Draconis then smashed Ace's face into the turnbuckle, knocking him out for a while.
"Heh. Pathetic. You are so GAHHHHH!!!!" Draconis got hit from behind by a stream of flames. The flames came from an angry Jake. His wounds healed up before Draconis's eyes, and his tattered costume repaired itself. His eyes glowed blue. Jake arched his head back and roared. He transformed into a dragon. He looked just like Draconis, only his scales and hair were red, and the hair on his temples were still yellow.
"I HAVE HAD ENOUGH!!!!" Jake roared.
Hoo boy! Jake's mad now! What'll happen next? Does Jake have the strength to beat Draconis? What of the gang outside? Find out in the next chapter!!
