"Hey, calm down." Miko walked over. "You aren't burning. Don't move."
"Are you kidding?" Ben shot a fireball at a tree.
"Ben stop! Wait!" Miko yelled.
But before they could stop it, the forest was on fire.
"Oh man." Ben said.
"This time when I say don't move, listen." Miko said, pointing the pendant at the fire.
"What are you doing?" Ben asked. "What will that do?"
"Rin, Pyou, Tou, Sha, Kai, Jin, Retsu, Zai, Zen!" Miko said. "Akuryo Taisan!"
The pendant glowed silver and sucked the fire inside.
Ben looked at her. "Whoa!"
Miko put a finger to her lips, then shimmered out of view.

Ben, as Heatblast, headed into the campground where Max and Kuri were.
"You guys, don't freak out, but, it's me!" Ben said.
Kuri recognized Ben by the way he talked. "Ben? Is that you? What happened?"
"Well, when I was walking, this meteor fell from the sky and almost munched me, except that wasn't a meteor or a satellite, but this cool watch thing that jumped up onto my wrist and when I tried to get it off, I suddenly was on fire, only it didn't hurt when I was accidentally starting this mega forest fire." Heatblast said. "Then a girl showed up and she sucked it up in a magic necklace!"
Max ran up. "Kuri, are you alri-" Max saw Heatblast. "What in blazes?"
"Hey, Grandpa, guess who." Kuri said.
"It's me, Grandpa." Ben said.
Max realized Heatblast was Ben. "Ben? What happened to you?"
"Well, when I was walking, this meteor…" Heatblast reiterated his explanation.
