Chapter 3: I am Trigon?
Then a small explosion could be heard coming from the living room. Beast Boy heard this and went to investigate. When he peeked inside he saw raven talking to someone out of his veiw, no visible signs of any explosion. Then he could make out the end of what she was saying.
"...so,why?" she asked in her usual monotone with just a hint of anger. He figured that he must of just imagined the noise so he went to see what Cyborg was doing in the garage.
Robin had just finished his workout when as he was moving to leave the weight room when he heard their guest yell out:
"HOLY...wait...UNHOLY SHIT!" he surmised that was not a good thing. Next Robin heard someone running in his direction down the hallway. Quickly Igneous burst through the doorway and closed the door behind him. He glanced about the room nervously,his eyes finaly settling on a rack of free weights to which he said:
"Wrong place to run!" as he turned to exit the way he came in. However a loud crash in the hallway dicouraged him. When he noticed Robin he ran toward him and hurriedly asked:
"There another way to leave this room?"
"Actually there---" Robin began.
It was then Raven phased in through the shut door in her "angry mode"(you know, four glowing red eyes, loads of black force tentacles ect.) levitating 2 chairs and lamp in with her.
"Well flight is off the options list folks, its time for a fight."Igneous said getting into a battle stance.
Then Robin noticed she also had a half dozen steak knives floating behind her back.
"Raven what is this about?" Robin asked only to be picked up by a black tentacle and bashed against the wall a couple times.
"Burning boy thinks he's funny" then turning to Igneous as she said "what do you know of my father?"
"Tell you what, defeat me and I'll spill my guts" then he quickly added in response to the grin forming on Raven's face "metaphorically, of course." he said ducking a lamp then sidesteping a chair that she had sent at him. And as she flung a few weights and a knife at him he said:
"Oooh, sharp silverware, one problem" he said as he incinerated the knife and dodged some weights "low melting point."
This time she sent another chair and some of those metal disk weights. He melted the weights midflight and lept back to avoid the chair then spung off the wall at his back aiming at Raven who seemed genuinely unprepared for it. However, a barbell flew up and intercepted his flight hitting him in the gut as a black tentacle grabbed his leg and threw him into the opposite wall. With a quick barage of a some more random furniture and a few more knives she had him backed into a corner and off balence. He ducked under a weightrack only to be slammed into by a bench which stayed pinning him to the wall with his arms stuck and unable to move. He had lost.
"Start talking" she growled.
"Okay, okay, but calm down we don't want you doing anything I'd regret."he said.
At that time Beast Boy and Cyborg showed up.
"Hey dudes, whats up?" Igneous said apparently unfazed by the knife that had just imbedded itself in the wall by his head.
"What's going on here?"Cyborg inquired.
"No worries, everything is fine guys" said Igneous still pinned to the wall.
"But...?"
"Now, tell me."Rave said to Igneous; she was still mad but back to normal.
"You know, I was kinda suprised that was accurate." he replied.
"What do you know?"she persisted.
"Only that your real name is Roth and that your father is a Daemon (S.D.S.: that is a varient correct spelling) named Trigon."
"How do you know that?"she said.
"A friend told me." Igneous answered.
"And how would he know?"Raven asked.
"He is part of a freaky cult that worships you as some kind of messiah." Igneous explained.
"What?" she exclaimed.
"No joke."He said.
"Whoa, crazy." Commented Beast Boy.
"Yeah, can you let me go now?" Igneous said.
"Uh, sure." she said as the bench hit the floor.
"Thanks, now that was fun, but I'm gonna go relax a while." he said walking toward the door.
"A cult, how could they kn...?"Raven began.
Suddenly behind her Igneous said "Internet."
"Ah, Robin that reminds me we need to talk about my car." Igneous said.
"You got insurance?" Robin asked.
"Of course, but they say I'm not covered for the "accidental actions of adolesent super heroes",what bullshit."
"Great for you." said Robin.
"I know, but what I wanted to say was that I need to stay here a while." Igneous said.
"What? Why?" said Robin.
"You see I had an appointment to keep so I had to reschedule." Igneous said with an unidentifiable tone in his voice.
"So how long do you want to stay?" Robin asked with agrivation plain in his voice.
"About a week, but don't worry, while I'm here I'll help you out with the whole crime fighting thing." said Igneous.
"We don't need any help." said Cyborg.
"Yeah but while you guys go and do that, what about me? You can't just leave some stranger roaming free in your place by himself, right? So here are your options: lock him in the room you gave him or take him with you to keep an eye on him the former would be boring for me and I could probably melt the door open anyway. And any other options would be unfeasable or illegal, and besides what harm could I cause?" Stated Igneous without taking a breath.
"You've thought about this, haven't you?" asked Raven.
"What I do best." he replied smugly.
"Maybe, but we would need to test you; to see if you're a liability." said Robin
"Liability?" Igneous repeated, his voice crackling with indignation.
"We wouldn't want you just exploding at people." Robin said calmly
"Oh, I'll show you an explosion." he replied pointing his open hand at Robin.
"I'm sure you will." Robin said with a slightly sadistic grin on his face.
His voice now completely calm and in fact slightly despairing Igneous merely said:
"Ouch, that was cold."and after a pause"But I can give you a demonstration, I will need these things." he said writing a list.
Beast Boy grabbed the finished list and read it aloud:
"10 candles, 5 practice dummies, 2 vollyballs, 1 gallon of kerosine, and a... dartboard?" he finished with a puzzled look.
"Don't be too attached to any of that stuff, it won't last long." he said.
"Why should--? "Robin began.
"Look you want a demonstation, and I'm giving you one, humor me okay?"Igneous said.
"Beast Boy Cyborg get the things on his list, Raven go get Star."Robin said.
"Where is she?" asked Raven.
"Outside, having a picnic with silkie"Robin said.
"Well I'm gonna go get something to drink, you guys get that stuff and meet me on the roof in 10 minutes."Igneous said, out the door before anyone could protest.
Igneous was sitting down in the kitchen looking at the clock when Beast Boy walked in.
"10 minutes isn't up yet dude."Igneous said.
"Well, we got all the stuff and Robin doesn't want to wait."Beast Boy continued "What are you cooking in our kitchen?"noticing that the microwave was on.
"Oh, that is understandable;and as for that." he said as the microwave dinged"it's just water."
"What are you making? cocoa? tea?"Beast Boy asked reaching for the glass after opening the microwave.
"Stop, want to know a science trick?" then without waiting for a response "you can heat water above boiling temperature without actualy having it boil. By removing any impurities in the drinking vessal and in the water the steam will have nothing to form on and therefore, won't.Facinating, eh?(S.D.S.: This actualy works!)
"Uhhh,sure"said Beast Boy "Huh? you're gonna drink that?"
After chuging the whole glass of water Igneous said"Dude, I can create fire from my hand" then a 2 foot long jet of flame erupted from his fist for emphasis" hot water is nothing, besides we shouldn't keep them waiting."
When he got there he set up the candles in a circle around him and the dummies in a random pattern about 10 feet from him, put the volleyballs off to the side and set the dartboard up on a pole.
"Hey dudes, my opening act will wake you up, watch closely."he said as he dumped the kerosine over his head.
After he wiped off his eyes he said:
"I will be both performing and anouncing in this event and I must ask that no matter how insane what I do appears to be, such as pouring something flamable onto myself and" he stopped to ignite himself "lighting it on fire, that you do not interfere. Heat doesn't hurt me neither does flame, hell, my hair doesn't even scorch. Also smoke doesn't interfere with my breathing, but you already noticed that, right?"
"Now, fire can come from any part of my skin, so long as there is oxygen to fuel it" his head bursting into flame to illustrate."my eyes don't get dry either.
"Or I can just make fire appear out of nowhere" Igneous said as all the candles lit at once "but I can't generate nearly as much this way."
"This is a very interesting trick" a wave of fire flew from his hand and grew as it approached the dummy target and singed it as it flew by. then he yanked his right hand back and thrust his left forward. the flame stopped and sped at the dummy again. This time it halted on the dummy and exloded. "I have full pyrokinetic and pyrotechnic abilities."
"That means that I can make it brighter, hotter, or more smokey. Or less of any of those if I need to.
"I have to wear this suit so that my body doesn't all catch on fire at once, I can only control my head and hands."
"Also I can do this" his eyes began to glow: first red,then orange,then yellow,green,blue,violet, then back to red, then each eye changed to a different color and went up and down the visible spectrum fast enough to create a strobe effect "cool huh?"
Then a series of explosions destroyed the remaining dummies "Also if fire doesn't work I have 2 things to fall back on" suddenly he had 3 completely black, completely metal knives in his hand which he threw an hit the dart board from 20 ft. "that and somthing else something I call... well, I call it the Gorgan's Glance"
"Can I have a guinea pig?"
Beast Boy turned into a guinea pig and then back, he started to laugh.
"I guess he is my volunter, I advise the rest of you to look away" he said as he untied his bandana.
Everyone turned away except Beast Boy, and Starfire whom didn't understand why she should.Igneous grabbed Beast Boy by the head and forced him to look, Beast Boy turned to stone.Starfire saw his forehead and upon it was a patch where skin was not. There was a symbol carved into his skull there; it was carved to look like an eye. As she stared she found she could not look away then suddenly the symbolseemedto blinkand then...
Starfire turned to stone.Igneous put his headband back on.
"Look now before I change 'em back."
"Whoa..." was all Cyborg could muster.
"You better be able to change them back." Robin said.
"So that was why you were so freaked out earlier, Why doesn't that work on me?"Raven asked.
"Probably your heritage."Igneous replied "now turn around I'm gonna change them back now."
First Beast Boy then Starfire "thawed out" Igneous rewraped his head.
"Hey, what happened?" Beast Boy asked
"I turned you to rock and then back again"Igneous said.
"Seriously? you can turn people to stone and back?He asked.
"Yeah, why?"he answered.
"Does that mean you ca---"Beast Boy was interupted by the alarm going off.
