Note: first fanfic, will improve as I go along, I have been a gamemaster on my past RP site so the action should be good, and I do not own Ben 10 or anything that is remotely like Ben 10.

AUTHOR'S NOTE OF GLORY: Haha. I thought that last chapter sucked. Seems like every time I think I made a really bad chapter, everyone says it rocks. shrugs, oh well. We now return to Heatblast's group!

---------

Drop…pishhhhhhh…

Drop…pishhhhhh…

'What's that noise?'

Drop…pishhhhhh…

Drop…pishhhhhh…

'Where am I?'

Heatblast opened his eyes.

At first it was dark, but then he lifted his head up from the ground to see that he was in a dimly lit cave.

'How did I get here?'

Drop…pishhhhhh…

Drop…pishhhhh…

Heatblast shook his head. His whole body ache. He felt like he pulled several of his muscles. He tried to get up but the pain was too great for him so he flopped back down.

Drop…pishhhhh…

Drop…pishhhhhh…

'What's that noise?', he said, repeating it in his mind.

'Why does it feel like I have droplets of water on my back?'

Drop…pishhhhhh…

Drop…pishhhhh…

With a large groan, Heatblast turned over onto his back. He looked up and saw a large hole in the ceiling of the cave. A drop of water fell on his head.

Drop…pishhhhh…

The water was a nusciance to him. He groaned again and rolled his body away from the falling water drops.

Drop…

Drop…

Heatblast sighed in relief. His slowly waking up mind was moving faster.

How did I get here?

Then Heatblast remembered, the mountain, the bug, the angry Stinkfly, the fight…the fall. Heatblast looked up at the ceiling again, he looked at the hole that was directly above him. The fall…Heatblast then put two and two together, he and Stinkfly must have hit the ground hard enough to cave in the ground. Both of them must have been knocked out unconscious from the fall. If Heatblast was here then that means…

Heatblast looked to his right despite the sharp pain that stabbed his neck. There, laying 3 meters to his right, was a knocked out Stinkfly. From the looks of it, she was more hurt then he was.

Several of her body parts were sticking out at an odd angle while others were broken and bleeding. Two of her legs were broken, one of her arms was twisted giving a look of uncomfortable ness. A wing was bent, and some blood was trickling out of her mouth.

Heatblast staggered onto his legs. He held a standing position until the pain ebbed away.

Heatblast approached the injured Stinkfly carefully.

"St-Stinkfly?"

Stinkfly groaned. She laid motionless on the hard ground.

"Stinkfly? Are you alright?"

Without opening her eyes, Stinkfly said,

"Don't touch me you pervert."

Heatblast took that as a yes.

Heatblast sat down next to the motionless Stinkfly.

"So…what do you suppose happened to DCELR8?"

Stinkfly grunted.

"Well I hope that bastard gets the flag. Because if he doesn't, we are so screwed."

Heatblast wasn't paying attention to the conversation. His eyes showed blankness as he was falling in a deep trance with the body of Stinkfly.

So helpless.

So needy.

So cute.

She needs me.

Heatblast's mind can't help but to feel pity, to feel lust of that body. The helpless body.

The-

"Heatblast!"

Heatblast was shocked back to his senses.

"Huh? Oh…yeah…don't worry…DCELR8 won't let us down. He's no back stabber! I'm sure that after he has gotten the flag, he will come back down and look for us."

Stinkfly snorted again.

Heatblast looked up at the giant hole upon the ceiling.

"Hey…want me to carry you out of here?"

"NO! I do not want you to touch me with your pervertish hands! Much less, I do not want you to burn me! I can do it myself!"

Stinkfly's wings began to vibrate. Stinkfly got to her feet to prepare for take off. She was too weak though, and she fell back down.

"Do not help."

"I wasn't going to."

Heatblast began to form a giant fire ball.

"Well if you do not mind, I'm going to take a look at the view outside!"

And out of his hands formed a fire column. He jumped on the fire column and shot up, up, up. He flew out of the cavern and onto the mountain ground.

The fire column disappeared, the heat melted back down to coldness. Heatblast looked around. He looked up the mountain.

Even though he is good at making fire columns, he was still to weak to travel up the mountain. He sighed and turned to the setting sun.

The sun's body was lowering across the horizon. The rays stretching out like vines across a tame garden. Slowly, the sun began to turn from yellow to orange.

"Beautiful.", said an admiring Heatblast.

------------------

But little did Heatblast know that with the setting sun comes a great danger. A danger that is right now affecting DCELR8…

Higher up the mountain, DCELR8 was dying.

Crawling with all the strength he had left, DCELR8 approached the flag.

The flag was tied to a small wire. It was mostly brown and written in bright colors was EARTH. DCELR8, who was pulling himself to the flag, started coughing and was two feet away from the blood.

"…damn…", he murmured, "…why…is it began to form around his fingers. His feet were freezing up, the mechanical gear that he was wearing was cracking and was shorting out.

DCELR8 coughed up some blood. With what remaining strength he had left, he grabbed the flag.

"…haha…got it…I must now….go home."

The snow collapsed under weight. He tumbled down the mountain. Hitting jagged rocks, and sharp spears of ice. Cutting through his mechanical armor and into his skin. He eventually stopped tumbling but it was a hard price to pay.

With blood shooting out like mini geysers, DCELR8 threw up, and started shivering wildly.

After all of this, he still held the flag.

"…father…", he said to himself, "…I have…failed…you…"

The temperature dropped. DCELR8 threw up one more time, and suddenly, laid motionless.

His now limp hand let go of the flag. The howling, icy wind blew it away. Sending it flying through the air. Down it went, to the base of the mountain.

-----------

Albino's range is different from all your other ranges. It has a natural defense. Whenever the sun sets, a terrible cold known as "Albino's poison" sweeps down the mountain in one huge path. The reason why it is called Albino's poison, is because it has the ability to kill its victims slowly.

Death by coldness is a terrible way to die.

And so, Albino's poison is right now heading down the mountain. And guess who is in the line of fire?

Heatblast.
