Sean vs. Ember
Author's Note: The next four chapters I'm writing are all happening at the same time. Once again, I would like to thank all of you fellow reviewers who support me. Enjoy and please R&R!
Sean flies out of the forest and spins in the sky. Gravity finally gets a hold of him and he plummets toward the ground. He lands on the ground with a thud. He bounces off of the ground and rolls on the ground. He rolls and falls into a cliff. Sean wakes up from his consciousness. He pops out his claws and punches into the cliff. The metallic claws drill into the cliff, stopping him from falling. Sean then looks down and sees the bottom of the cliff. He can see the rocky ground and a large, rusty octopus like robot. Then he notices molten lava flowing and bubbling. He realizes that he is dangling above a volcano. What he doesn't realize is that this is the same spot where Mr. Incredible defeated the Omnidroid 9000 when he was given his first assignment on Nomanisan.
"That was a close one." Sean sighs as he gazes at the lava.
He then looks back up and starts to climb back to the edge. He sticks his claws inside the rocks and pulls himself up. Five minutes later, he finally pulls himself back to the top. He walks toward the nearest tree and sits. He gazes beyond the cliff and is amazed to see dozens and dozens of trees and mountains. His eyes then meet the ocean. He stands up and smiles. He his smile soon became a look of determination and anger.
"What am I sitting here for?" he said. "Mom's in trouble. I better find her quick before Evila does something horrible." He gets to his feet and turns back to the forest.
"Evila issssssssssssssssssssssn't the only one you should worry about." A voice whispered. Sean freezes and looks around the area.
"That voice." He wondered. "That voice. That…hiss, sounds somewhat familiar."
Sean's jaw drops and his eyes burst open. He extends his claws and looks around the area. As he gets into his fighting stance, his eyes slowly turn red. He hears a noise behind him. He quickly turns and shoots a laser from his eyes. Unfortunately, there is nothing behind him. Instead, the laser beam nails a tree and Sean watches as the tree falls to the ground. Sean freezes for a moment and once again, looks around.
"Come on out and fight Ember!" he orders. "I know you're here! Show yourself!"
"Whatever you sssssssssssssay child." Sean turns around and right before his eyes is a gigantic wall of fire. Terrified of the huge flame, he slowly takes a few steps back. Finally, the large fire wall starts to subside. The flames slowly combine to form a firey salamander. Her body is covered with flames, as well as her arms, legs and head. She smirks at the teenage boy. She then lets out a soft but chilling hiss.
"What a pleassssssssssssssssant ssssssssssssurprise." Ember hisses. "If it issssssssssssn't the eldesssssssssssst child of the Incrediblessssssssssss."
"Hello, Ember." Sean says dubiously. "Now get out of my way you hot-headed lizard.
"SSSSSSSSSSSSILENCCCCCCCCCCCCE!" Ember hollers. Sean freezes with fear in his eyes. "Your majessssssssssssty hasssssssssssss a ccccccccccccertain requesssssssssssst for me. Her ordersssssssssssss are ssssssssssssspecccccccccccific. It isssssssssssss my duty to fulful her wish; and that issssssssssssss to dessssssssssssstroy you."
She raises her arms and another huge wall of fire emerges out of the ground. Sean stands strong and holds his position. Ember hisses and smiles as the flames grow bigger and bigger. She then throws her arms toward Sean. A fireball emerges out of the flames and zooms toward the teenage boy. Sean leaps into the air and over the fireball. When he lands, he ducks to avoid another. Sean moves to the side to evade another fireball. When Sean sees another fireball heading toward his direction, his eyes turn bright red. He focuses on the incoming fireball. Finally, he launches a laser beam toward the fireball. The laser and the fireball collides with each other. When the fireball explodes on impact, ashes fall from the sky. Ember watches the ashes fall and then gazes at Sean. The teenager smiles and shakes his head at the creature.
"Come on Ember." He says with confidence. "Is that all you got?"
Ember stares at the brave teenaged super, but her smile never lefts her face. "You're stronger than I've expected young one." Ember compliments. "But now it's time for me to get ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssserious."
The flames on her body continue to grow. She lets out a terrifying roar that echoes through the forest. Ember opens her mouth and flames burst out of her mouth. Sean counters by shooting a laser beam from his eyes. The laser and the flames collide, creating a huge explosion. The impact knocks Ember a few steps back. On the other hand, the collision sends Sean flying. He lands on the ground with a thud. Ember regains her balance, hisses and smiles. She watches as Sean gets on his hands and knees. Ember took advantage of this opportunity as she fired another fire blast from her mouth. Sean sees the fire and rolls out of the way. Ember fires another blast. This time, Sean is able to jump over the fire. Unfortunately, the moment his feet touch the ground, a blast of fire nailed him right in the chest, knocking him off of his feet. He rolled right to the edge of the cliff. Ember laughs hysterically as Sean clutches his chest from the burns. She grins and discharges more fire at the Super. Sean did not want to burn to death, so he rolled right over the edge of the cliff before the fire blast could hit him. He descended down. A second later, he pops his claws from his hand and thrusts it into the rocky ledge.
"That was close." sighed Sean. He looks up and sees Ember, looking over the edge.
"Where are you young man?" She innocently asks.
Sean slowly but silently starts to scale the ledge. The closer he got to the top, the more nervous he became. It wasn't long before Ember spotted a teenaged boy climbing.
"Oh there you are!" she grins.
At that instant, she unleashed a barrage of fireballs at Sean. It rained down on the boy. Sean tries as hard as he could to evade all of the fireballs. In addition, he used his laser vision to destroy each of the falling fireballs. After thirty seconds of attacking and defending, both ceased their fire. Sean and Ember stared menacingly into the eyes of one another.
"Perssssssissstant are you?"
At an instant, Ember fired a huge blast of fire. Sean countered by discharging a gigantic laser beam from his eyes. Both projectiles collided against each other. Sean and Ember used all of their strength to push their blasts toward the other person. At one moment, Ember gained the advantage, sending her fire blast close to Sean. The teen Super turned the tables as he pushed his laser beam to out power Ember's fire. Before long, Ember forced her fire to completely dominate Sean's laser beam. The fire blast knocked him off of the ledge as he descended down below.
Sean landed on his back hard. Rolling around, he nursed his back. He looks up and sees Ember jumping off of the cliff and descending down to him. Sean quickly rolled out of the way before Ember landed on him. Sean gets to his feet, glaring at her.
Ember simply laughed. "Look around you boy."
Sean was a little hesitant to take his eye off of her, but he started to observe his surroundings. On the ground a couple meters away from him was a broken, disfunctioned robot with six legs. That was when he noticed an orange glow reflecting off of him. Sean carefully peeled his eyes to the glow and noticed what he fell into. It was the mouth of a volcano.
"That issss correct young man." Ember smirked. "You are on my turf now!"
Sean pops out his claws and assumes a fighting stance. He charges at the fiery female. Ember easily evades the attack. Sean stumbles a bit. Ember then kicks him violently on the back. The force sent Sean crashing onto the rocks. Ember laughs a bit as she struggles to get to his feet. Gritting his teeth, he angrily picks up a rock and chucks it at her. Ember swats it way. She then picks up a rock herself and ignites it. She throws it at Sean. Sean tries to do the same thing Ember did. He slices the fiery rock in half with his claws. The sharpness of his claws slashed the stone in half. Sadly, doing that burned his hand. Sean grasps his hand as he looks at Ember.
"I forgot. I am not adaptable to fire like you." Sean said.
Ember grinned. "SSSSSSmart you are Incrediguy. Now, let's see if you can figure out how to beat me!"
Ember formed two fireballs in her hands and threw them viciously at Sean. The Super is able to jump out of the way and land on his feet. Ember fired more and more fireballs at him. Once again, Sean evaded the projectiles once again. For about twenty seconds, Sean continued to dodge while Ember kept firing. After dodging a fireball, Sean nearly loses balance and almost fell into the bubbling lava. He manages to regain his balance. Suddenly, a fireball came whizzing in front of him. Sean turns his head notices Ember ready to discharge another fireball. He quickly dives to the ground to avoid a thrown fireball. Ember then ceased her fire. Sean got to his feet, panting heavily.
"Come on Incrediguy. I thought you were tougher than that!"
Sean glares angrily at her. Ember grins at the exhausted super. She picks up another rock from the ground. The rock ruptures into flames. Ember looks back at Sean and releases her fireball towards him. Sean watches as the fireball draws closer. Unwilling to give up, he lets out a valiant roar as his eyeballs turn red. He discharges a huge laser beam toward the fireball. The beam and the fireball crash into each other. With determination, Sean adds more and more power to his beam. The laser beam grows larger and increases strength. Sean then forces the fireball back at Ember. Ember gasps, but it's too late. The fireball slams into her chest and exploded into pieces. Sean can see Ember still standing, but clinging onto her chest.
"Not bad." She coughs. "Not bad Incrediguy."
She releases her midsection and the two Supers stare at each other. Sean can see the fiery, burning, anger in Ember's eyes. Ember, on the other hand, notices the will and determination in Sean's eyes. Both started to advance toward each other.
Sean evades a punch thrown from Ember. He steps to the side to avoid a side kick. Finally, Ember successfully punches Sean across the face. The teen super recoils in pain. Sean feels his face. In his cheek is a very small burn. It began to sting his face. He glares at Ember as he approaches her once again. He pops out his claws and thrusts them at Ember's face. She takes a step back as Sean aggressively attacks her. Ember moves to the left and right to evade Sean's thrusts, lunges, and kicks. At last, Sean landed a solid kick right into her stomach. While Ember doubled over and clutched her midsection, Sean used his same kicking leg to round-house kick the fiery female's face. Ember stumbled and fell to the ground, but Sean suffered damage as well. He hopped backwards and fell on the ground near the lava, grasping his burned foot.
"You are going to ssssssssssssssssssssuffer for that!!!" roared Ember, rushing to the downed Super.
Sean noticed Ember approaching closer and closer. He turned his head and looked at the lava, and then back at Ember. Sean screamed at the top of his lungs as he grabbed one of Ember's legs. This made her loose her balance as the teen Super tossed her into the pit of lava.
Panting in pain and fatigue, Sean gazes Ember's tail sinking in the lava. He slowly gets to his feet. He starts huffing and puffing excessively for a while. Finally, Sean turns around and makes his way to the ledge of the cliff. He was about to start his climb, when he felt the earth rumble. He staggered a bit as he looked back at the lava.
"Oh my God!" he gasped, eyes widened.
A monster emerged from the lava pits. It was a giant skeleton dragon, engulfed in flames. It roared loudly. Sean gasped in fear as he walked backwards until he was against the rock. His fear all of the sudden vanished as he gazed up at the flaming dragon skeleton.
"So Ember, is this your true form?"
Ember hissed at Sean. "Indeed."
At that moment, she charged right at Sean. Sean, with little time to react, sidestepped to the right. Ember anticipated that move and grabbed the Super. She then rammed his body on to the ledge of the cliff. She tossed him up into the air and to the lava. He bounced off of the ground and rolled to the lava. Fortunately, he did not roll all the way in. However, his claws sank into the red, orange hot lava. Sean slowly got to his feet. His entire body was covered in burns, bruises and scrapes. He looks at his claws. It was covered and ignited in lava. He then gazes at Ember.
"Here I come, young man!" she hissed.
Ember ran right at Sean once again. Sean pulled his blazed claw back in readiness. Ember was about to tackle Sean off of his feet and into the lava. Suddenly, she stopped and gasped. She looked down at her chest. Sean had just stabbed his claw through the heart of her. She stumbles back and yelps in pain.
"Oh, so that isn't enough for you?" Sean inquired.
He rapidly slashes at Ember's chest, sending a chunk of ashes emitting from her body. Sean stabs her chest once again. Ember roared in pain. For the final attack, Sean crossed his claws together. He used his laser vision on his claws to heat his claws until it became red hot. With one final swipe, Ember fell to the ground. The fire slowly began to die away. As the last flame died out, a faint echo of Ember was heard.
"Massssssssssster. . ."
Sean sighs and makes his way back toward the edge of the cliff. He vigorously climbs his way back to the top. When he finally reaches the top, he lies on the ground, panting for air. He then hears the sound of a deafening explosion. He gets to his feet and sees smoke rising above the trees. He then remembers.
"Hang on mom, I'm coming."
