Brawl
The 2 students stood in the center of the gigantic battle dome. Hundreds upon hundreds of prying eyes eagerly stared down upon the combatants, their eyes widening with anticipation and tension. The dark, silver like blue hair of Julius was idly brushed away from his mysterious eyes. Mammoth grinned and cracked his massive knuckles loudly.
Mammoth boasted "Don't worry, I promise this is gonna hurt A LOT".
Julius grinned "You're right, it will".
DING!
The alarm blared and the fight was about to begin. Mammoth roared as his stomping feet charged at full speed ahead, young Julius made no attempt to step aside from the charge. Jinx gasped as Mammoth was about make contact with Julius. The boy then laughed and removed a strange looking device from his right hand; it was some kind of gun. Julius fired the weapon.
Mammoth grunted "ARGH".
The mutant student grappled his face in pain, completely covered with frost and ice. Julius had used some kind of freezing gun on his face. Julius rolled out of the way of the blinded HIVE student. Pulling another device from his dark coat, Julius was now holding some sort of futuristic bazooka blaster. The bazooka fired a dark colored bombshell from the cannon top; it struck the blinded Mammoth and exploded. The blast unleashed huge sound waves.
The sonic explosion sky rocketed Mammoth into the side wall, shattering his ice covered face and a few other bones, or at least it sounded like. Jinx's eyes couldn't expand any wider, she was totally beside herself.
Julius smiled "Trans-magnetic neo-pulse grenades. High explosives packed with electronic sound vibration technology, packs quite a punch doesn't it?".
Mammoth replied "GR yeah, but so do I".
The large boy raised his massive forearms into the air and smashed them into the ground, rippling shockwaves of shattered metal erupted violently. A powerful shock wave tremor was sent into the steel ground beneath the arena. Julius screamed as he was hurled off his feet. The boy genius dropped on his back, helpless as Mammoth charged forward and picked him up. Mammoth then slammed Julius body into the ground with a powerful throw.
Julius groaned as his back slammed into the cold, hard, ruptured steel, wincing at that wrestling like move. Before Julius could even stand up, Mammoth wrapped his massive fingers around his skull and jerked him towards his face.
Mammoth snorted "Where's your fancy gadgets now smart guy?".
Julius sweated a bit "Don't worry, I'm working it".
While Mammoth continued to talk with Julius, the boy secretly slipped on a pair of dark blue, rubber gloves. This chat would hopefully give Julius the time he needed to prepare his newest weapons.
Mammoth grinned "You're not gonna last long enough to use em".
Julius replied "Wanna bet? CLEAR".
Julius wrapped his hands around Mammoth's furry cranium, and unleashed a devastatingly powerful electric shock. The rubber gloves were actually high tech shock inducing power gloves. The overloaded surge of raw voltage blasted Mammoth away from Julius, forcing him to drop the scientist. Julius then flipped off his gloves and pressed 2 different buttons on each of his shoulders. Mechanical arm harnesses emerged around both of Julius arms.
The robot attachments morphed into a pair of twin helicopter blades, Julius screamed as he charged forth with the buzzing blades.
SHHHINK!
Julius eyes bulged as he saw his copter blades shatter upon impact of Mammoth's massive forearms, his skin was much thicker then Julius had expected.
Mammoth shrugged "My turn".
BAM!
The smashing force of Mammoth's knuckles crunched painfully into Julius jaw. He was sent reeling into the air from Mammoth's powerful uppercut. As soon as Julius slammed into the ground, Mammoth charged forward in a rhino like fashion.
Julius panicked to himself "Gotta think fast, gotta think fast".
Another pair of blasters was quickly armed into Julius hands. The boy fired both guns at Mammoth, they struck and encased his hands in balls of super, sticky, bubblegum like sap. But Mammoth ignored it and continued to charge forward. Julius quickly scrambled through his coat for another toy.
Julius gulped "Crap, okay that didn't work. Oh what the hell else have I got to work with?".
The observing students hollered and cheered, half for Mammoth and the other half for Julius.
Billy Numerous cheered "Yee-haw, go get em hombre, smack that brainiac upside his test tube".
Pinball loudly shouted "Come on Julius, get up, and slag that elephant back to the ice age".
But neither cheers nor insults came from Jinx's lips towards either of the combatants. While she was obviously hoping Mammoth would win, still, some silent, secretive part of her heart preyed Julius didn't get as banged up as she fears he's going to be.
Mammoth laughed "Time to say goodbye sucker".
Julius simply nodded "Okay, goodbye".
WHOOSH!
Jet flames roared from Julius black mechanical shoes, his boots turned into jet pack shoes that propelled him right off the ground. Mammoth gasped as he rammed his head right into the wall at full speed.
Julius smirked "Sucker".
The rocket boots slowly died down as Julius landed on the other side of the arena. Not giving up just yet, Mammoth smashed apart his bubblegum hand bonds and ripped off the dented piece of wall steel from his head. Mammoth then hurled the sheet of dented metal right at Julius. The young boy pressed a device on the side of his ear, and a small circular like device emerged around his right eye. The eye piece fired a laser beam right at the steel wall.
The sheet of metal was vaporized instantly. But this distraction gave Mammoth enough time to leap into the air, and descend into an air born body slam. Julius frowned as he removed a large, purple colored, twisted shaped energy weapon from his coat. His most powerful and strangest device yet. Brother Blood secretly cackled as he spotted the weapon.
Brother Blood chuckled excitedly "Yes, yes, YES, that's it. Show them all what you can really do".
Julius scowled "Scatter blaster……FIRE".
A rainbow colored energy beam surrounded by vibrant electricity fired from the strange gun, Mammoth screamed as it struck him dead on. Massive sparks of randomized color surged around Mammoth's trembling, shaking body. The hulking brute dropped to the ground before Julius's feet, smoldering smoke fizzled off Mammoth's barbecued body. A thundering roar of cheers and gasped escaped the students, praising Julius for his win.
Jinx silently closed her eyes and looked away, trying not to look or speak to young Julius as he exited the arena.
Julius spoke firmly "Reverse molecular genetics".
Jinx blinked "Excuse me?".
Julius explained "That's what my scatter blaster uses. When someone is hit by that beam, it genetically turns one's own meta-genes against them. The very molecules and particles that gives people their super powers, is genetically switched to electrify their bodies from the inside out, rather then support them".
Jinx raised an eyebrow "And just why are you telling me this?".
Julius frowned "Just to let you know that just because my heart may be weakened by your beauty, my mind and resolve is as strong as ever. Keep that in mind".
The young girl growled a bit, bashfully blushing at the remark and at the same time, secretly hating him for it. Mammoth groaned as the many duplicates of Billy Numerous helped the French fried giant out of the arena. It wasn't long until the alarm blared for a second time. However, this time it was to call forth the next pair of combatants. The double team match up of Scarab and Pinball vs. Jinx and Gizmo, and Jinx could hardly wait to begin.
