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: I apologize most apologetically about the last chapter. I made the terrible assumption that everyone had seen "Galactic Enforcers". Boy was I wrong. Now I've updated the chapter and have kicked myself many times. I am sorry.

Homework.

Heatblast made a huge sigh as he tried to finish his math homework. Today was a bad day, already a girl dumped him and he received an F on his Philosophy homework.

Math. Peh. How will that help me out in the battlefield? How will knowing how to find the area of a sphere help me fight my enemies? It's all a bunch of nonsense!

Heatblast looked outside his window to see that it was cloudy. Cloudy days always made him feel sleepy…

Heatblast's eyes fluttered as he tried to stay awake.

Must…stay…focus…

…

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

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

Ripjaws meanwhile was outside Heatblast's dorm looking at the flowers that were growing. She bent down and smelt a nearby blue rose.

"Sniff. These flowers are prettier than the ones found in the lake. Snifffff…and they smell good too!"

She looked up to see the clouds covering the whole sky.

"The only thing missing is the sun. With a little sunlight, this place would look nice!"

Drop!

Ripjaws blinked. A rain droplet landed on her head.

Soon more droplets rain from the sky as they began to fall on the ground and the flower bed that she was looking at.

…well…at least it is not thunder and lightning out.

CRACK!

Ripjaws jumped three feet in the air as a bolt of lightning made a thunderous noise.

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

Heatblast woke up.

Lightning.

Heatblast quickly stood up while in the process knocking over his chair.

A storm. Not just any storm…a big one.

Heatblast ran to the window and quickly scanned the clouds.

Could it be? Are my senses telling me correctly?

Heatblast's eyes widened as he looked outside.

A tornado.

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

Meanwhile, Ripjaws was outside looking at the oncoming storm.

"Sigh. Looks like it's going to rain."

Just then, Heatblast jumped out of the top floor window and landed on the ground next to Ripjaws. When Ripjaws saw Heatblast there, she gasped in surprisement not because he startled her, but because he was Heatblast.

"Heatblast!" she exclaimed.

Heatblast saw Ripjaws and said, "Ah! Ripjaws! Perfect! Wanna come on a mini-adventure with me?"

Ripjaws didn't know if Heatblast was asking her out on a date or not, but if he was, she was in heaven.

"Y-Yeah…"

"Perfect! Come with me to the Jeep!"

Jeep…?

Heatblast took off running, wasting no time, Ripjaws quickly followed.

A minute later, Ripjaws and Heatblast approached a hoodless Jeep. Heatblast quickly got in and opened the passenger side door for Ripjaws from his seat.

"Get in! Quick! We haven't a moment to lose!"

Wondering what kind of date this was, Ripjaws got in. She wondered why Heatblast was in such a hurry.

Maybe he's eager to get this date started!, her mind thought.

When she got in the rain began to beat harder and suddenly, the wind began to pick up. Heatblast quickly started the car and put it in gear.

"I didn't know you owned a car," said Ripjaws.

"I don't."

ZOOM!

The car sped off towards the storm. Leaving the campus far behind, Heatblast put the pedal to the metal.

"Heatblast?" said Ripjaws timidly.

"Yeah!" said Heatblast whose eyes were focused on the road.

"Where are we going?"

"It's a secret!"

A secret! thought Ripjaws, wonder where he is taking me? Maybe to a restaurant…or an opera! That would be soooo wonderful!

The howling wind pressed up against her ear holes as they raced across the road. Ripjaws saw up ahead that dark clouds were coming right towards them. Ripjaws wondered why the clouds were coming there way, when the wind was blowing the other way.

"Heatblast…?" said she.

"WHAT?" he yelled since he couldn't hear her due to the storm, wind and the engine roaring.

"What is…"

"CAN'T HEAR YOU! SPEAK UP!"

"I said…"

"WHAT!"
"I SAID…"

SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECH!

Ripjaws was thrown forward as the car came to a screeching halt. When Ripjaws recovered, she was about to ask Heatblast why he stopped when something caught her attention.

A large funnel was coming down from the clouds a mile ahead of them. At first it was clear but as it touched ground it revealed its true, brown form.

A tornado.

The tornado at first did nothing, then, it slowly went away from them. As it did, Heatblast put the car in gear and began to drive towards it.

"Heatblast…what are you doing?"

"Storm chasing."

The tornado moved faster away from them, as it did this, Heatblast drove faster. The sheer noise that was coming from the tornado was deafening.

"COME ON!" yelled Heatblast, "WHAT ARE YOU RUNNING AWAY FROM! HUH! COME BACK HERE!"

The tornado stopped.

"Oh shit," said Heatblast.

Heatblast slowly stopped and looked at the tornado. The wind howled and the tornado started heading towards them at an alarming rate.

"SHIT!"

Heatblast quickly turned the car around and started driving as fast as he could go.

Ripjaws quickly shut her eyes in desperation that all of this was a bad dream and that she was not in mortal peril.

But in the mist of doom something funny happened.

"WOOOOHOOOO!" screamed Heatblast, "THIS IS MORE EXCITING THAN AN ORGASM! WE'RE ACTUALLY BEING CHASED BY A FREAKING TORNADO! Here…take the wheel."

Ripjaws looked up.

"Wha?"

Heatblast quickly jumped out of the jeep and rolled across the ground. Ripjaws quickly took the wheel but it occurred to her that she couldn't drive.

"I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DRIVE!" she yelled.

Heatblast turned around and yelled back, "DON'T WORRY, YOU CAN DO IT!"

Ripjaws suddenly felt inspired, she can do it, and she will.

Ripjaws began to fiddle with the machine to see what it took to slow it down.

Heatblast turned around and faced the storm. With a determined look on his face he said to himself, "if I destroy the cold draft that is falling to the ground, the tornado will quickly fall apart. That will be dangerous…but I'm willing to give it a try."

The wind began to pull him towards the tornado. Heatblast held his ground but he knew he couldn't hold much longer. He must jump at the precise moment…

When the tornado was a hundred meters away, Heatblast jumped in the air. He then quickly dove himself towards the body of the tornado. The tornado quickly pulled him in and started spinning him around. He closed his eyes and began to form a fire ball. Concentrating all his power he knew what he must do. He must hit the tornado in the exact center or the attack would worthless. He opened his eyes and was about to fire when…

BAM!

A tree came whirling in and smacked him upside. The fireball when awry and shot off into the sky. Heatblast felt dazed and tried to pull himself together but it was of no use. The last fire ball was so powerful that it left him weak. He now could not defend for himself. He was going to die.

A scream.

Heatblast opened his eyes, that was Ripjaws' scream. That was the sound of someone's life that was in danger.

Someone who he brought them into this mess.

Someone who wanted to spend time with him.

This thought awoke the fiery passion of Heatblast. With the strong determination to save Ripjaws, he concentrated everything he had into his new fireball.

When he was done powering up the fireball, he quickly aimed it at the eye of the storm. Using every little bit of energy he had left, he shot the fireball into the heart of the storm.

The fireball immediately mixed with the cold draft. The fireball then shot downwards and became a warm draft. With its power supply gone, the tornado quietly floated away.

With no more winds carrying him, Heatblast fell to the ground. His body felt like passing out but his mind told it not to do so yet for Ripjaws quickly ran over to where Heatblast was lying.

Heatblast looked up to see the Crocodile looking down at him. Blood was running down her head as she smiled down upon him.

"My hero," she said.

Heatblast smiled and said, "Where's the Jeep?"

"Oh…well…it…er…crashed. I had to jump out of it before it ran into a ditch...I'm sorry Heatblast."

Heatblast weakly waved a hand and said, "No worries. Come; lie down on the grass with me. I feel like sleeping."

Ripjaws smiled again and lied down next to him. When she did so, Heatblast and Ripjaws felt happy. For after all the chaos, they can finally rest and spend some quality time together.

This sure beats math, thought Heatblast.
