Once again, I haven't updated for over a week. I hope I find a cure for writer's block...Or should I say laziness... Sooner or later. For now, I'll just work on getting this chapter done, and then attempt to put up another in a few days or less... Or if I get lazy, more. If school isn't too pestering tomorrow, I'll be in a generous enough mood to start at the next chap... Ok... This seems like some bargain to back up an excuse... So just read ze chapter. But first, I must mention that Beast Boy changed into a talking dragon just like Malchior, that way some talking can be done.
The green dragon and the purple dragon circled each other like fierce lions fighting for food. They both moved torpidly as they kept their eyes on each other, ready to strike at any sudden movement of the enemy. Malchior snorted smoke and Beast Boy barged his fangs. Malchior cracked his tail like a whip to test how afraid the changeling was of him, and by the way he quickly tensed up, he was in terror.
The purple beast shot open his mouth and released a colossal line of fire at his adversary only for him to deflect the flames with his forearm. Beast Boy counterattacked by swiftly springing into the air and slashing the wizard-dragon along his shoulder. Malchior's response to the attack was to slug his attacker in the jaw. Staggering sideways, the changeling managed to kick Malchior in his rib cage before he took flight to get away. Beast Boy shortly followed and got near him but didn't have time to defend from his flames. The teen cringed and shook off the burn as Malchior sky dived into Beast Boy and head butted him out of the sky. Beast Boy quickly gained control of his fall and landed on the street, nearly crushing the occupied cars throughout. Malchior soared down near his opponent and perched on the street causing the idle people foolishly staring to realise the danger they were in and flee.
" None of this involves you, boy." Malchior scorned " I will not give you as many opportunities to surrender as I did Raven. Will you leave now and have time to prepare for Master Trigon's manifestation, or will I have to fight you and let him devour you when he arrives?"
" Dude, you're too over confident. I'm not giving up, you're just trying to psyche me out!" The teen boy told, his voice deeper and rasped
" Then I must slay you in Master Trigon's name."
The dragon's clashed again as they both swung their fists at the same time only to deflect on contact. Beast Boy slashed the air making Malchior lean back to avoid it, then he crunched his stressed hand into a fist and uppercut the purple dragon in the chin. A light pole snapped and sparked with electric life when the beast's tail snapped it like a mere twig. Once again, high voltage danced along the sidewalks scaring the bystanders away. Beast Boy flapped his wings and flew at Malchior with spread talons only to have his rows of teeth pierce through his arm. The purple beast jerked on the olive dragon's arm with sharp snarls as a way to cause an injury.
" Hey, I'm not a chew toy!" Beast Boy bellowed as he slapped Malchior with his tail
Malchior eyes narrowed as he quickly released Beast Boy's arm to carve scratches in his chest. The changeling growled and sprayed fire breath on him, but Malchior being the strategist dodged it by flight allowing the truck behind him to kindle. Beast Boy gave the 'Oh Crap' look and hastily glanced around to find anything to cease the accident waiting to happen. Lucky for him, there was a fire hydrant just jutting out of the curve. The green dragon kicked it off allowing the strong pressure of H20 to shoot into the sky. With that done, he bit his lip and used his clawed hand to push the flaming car near the fountain and slowly, the flames died.
The quick act was a quick act indeed, for Malchior was already commencing his next method of battle. He started to circle above the street below with a holographic glow swirling a trail behind him. He spun around at an extreme speed, rasping something under his snarls and from the circle shot a untainted ray of black and maroon. It raced like lightning to the ground where it contracted into nothing for a few short seconds. Beast Boy assumed it was a fluke attack but it instant explosion sent him rolling into a building and then crashing through the wall. Now the street could be no longer considered well, a street. From the ruin and dust Beast Boy, still in dragon form, emerged. His scaled body was coated with scratches and bruises from the calamitous attack but he a managed to get up and out of his crater. He could feel a pain spread up through his right leg knowing further strain to it could sprain or even break it. If he was going to even the score, he would have to do some serious butt-kicking.
" Just stay where you are, pathetic creature. I shall end your life before the real suffering begins." Malchior hissed
Beast Boy lowered his head as if to devise a plan. Some sort of plan that would put him in the lead. Why he kept comparing the battle to a game could be traced back to his sleepless nights trying to beat the latest racing game, which was ranked according to the number of points. Remembering a special effect at the end of a level, an idea spawned in his head. Glancing up at Malchior with a mischievous grin, he started to flap his wings but ceased to lift into the air. He stayed land-bound and kept swinging his heavy wings which began to cause dust to rise. Malchior squinted his eyes in an attempt to keep an eye on the green dragon through the gathering dust but all the debris created excessive amounts of dust in the area, making Beast Boy's plan work like the Internet. All along the ground there was nothing but a thick dust cloud. Malchior sweat dropped and panicked in fear the dragon would strike when he wasn't looking. The billows soon began to fade, revealing nothing but an empty sundered road. The wizard-dragon snarled in frustration to see his prey was gone.
Gently as the Butterfly he was, Beast boy fluttered above Malchior higher in the sky. Then the classical slam attack came to mind. The changeling changed into a falcon, floated a little higher above, then dropped down swiftly toward his opponent. Just moments before impact, he accurately shifted into a blue whale, which was actually green of course, and collided with a smash into Malchior. With the immense weight on a whale on him, Malchior just kept falling until hitting the ground and was nearly crushed to death by Beast Boy the whale.
" Ahahahaha... Oops." He shrugged, changing back into his human form
Malchior just steamed fire and tried to snatch the boy up within his jaws. He successfully got the lad into his mouth, but Beast Boy was pushing it open to keep himself from being crushed. It was hard to focus on not being eaten when rows of fangs and a nasty odour were mixing things up. The changeling began to faltered as Malchior's strength overthrew him. Still, the green teen kept his mouth from closing on him with great effort. Malchior snorted once again as the back of his throat began to glow. Beast Boy's eyes widened as the flames crawled up his throat and pushed him safely out of his mouth. He stopped, dropped, and rolled to relieve himself of the burns and examined his scratched body and torn clothes as Malchior still stood boldly like an Immortal. Malchior approached the boy with heavy footsteps and grinned showing his virulent teeth like a prized trophy. He reared back his head and was about to thrust it forward to bite Beast Boy when he was stopped.
" Malchior, leave him alone. This battle is between me and you."
" Raven, My sweet." Malchior turned in surprise, shifting back to his humanly form " What-"
" Quiet. We finish this now, no more interference." She growled, wrathful that he had defeated her
" Be my guest, I will fight you both. It won't make a difference in the end." He mocked
The three all took on fighting positions and gave the classical stare down. With two against one, it seemed the numerous side would prevail, but Malchior had enough magic to make up another person. Only a battle would determine what side was the strongest. Raven was about to run at Malchior but she couldn't move. She could almost smell the untainted air grow more distinguishable. What was it exactly? A drop of sweat rolled down her temple as the familiar feeling came over her. Beast Boy glanced at Raven after just waiting for someone to make the first move to note the anxiety painted on her face.
" Raven, what's wrong?" he questioned in confusion
" ...I-It's...Him..." Was all that came out
Yes, short chappie. But I was desperate to update and at the moment it's getting late and I have to run off and do my HW like a good little girl. Perhaps the only way to pass through writer's block is to only write so much at a time because when I think of writing a whole chapter at one time and I'm losing interest, I think " ...Ugh...". I guess I'll have to experiment with that method a little. So for now, R R.
