Chapter 9B

Inside the Fire

It was by the fire that has become a fire storm by the time the elite got there. The flames were going mad. It did not seem that the flames would stop. The animals had to escape the fire; the girls helped the animals. Dexter had to get Fuzzy out of there. The boys though they had to literally "fight" the fire and got minor burns. Dexter sent two of the firemen in there to get a view on what the inside is like.

The two firemen went inside. The area was torched in the center of the area was a white caccoon. The caccoon was moving around so the stupid firemen decided to break it open. They toke their axes and started to chop the thing open. While they were chopping the caccoon, the caccoon does not move. The firemen were almost there when the caccoon begins to crack more and more.The firemen step back and are frieghtened; the caccoon breaks open and a lot of dark energy is released. The firemen scream and run out.

Meanwhile, on the mountain nearby, Blue Him was waiting for his time on the lava plain that was created three years ago by Red Him's attempt to destroy New Townsville using lava as a weapon. The feature, literally, was called 'The Dark Side' of the mountain. Then, he heard the screams from the firemen.

Blue Him: It's about time... Time for me to make my move. (Then, he moves toward the forest fire.)

Firemen: AHH!! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!

Dexter: For what? The fire isn't supposed to scare you.

Firemen: THERE'S A MONSTER IN THERE!!

Dexter: Yeah, a monster fire.

Fireman 1: We're serious.

Fireman 2: There is a monster in there.

Then, all of a sudden the fire opened itself up so someone can walk in. Practically, everyone saw this including the other elite. This was a very suspicous because fire does not behave like what they are seeing.

Dexter: Something is not right about this.

Blossom: You can say that again.

Brick: Yeah.

Dexter: I'll go in and check on what is going on.

Bubbles: Okay. But be careful.

Dexter cautiously enter the tunnel to the other end. And what he saw on the other side surprised him to an extreme.

Dexter: WHAT THE HELL!!

The fire closed up on Dexter so he can't get out. He was filled with fear but knew he had to fight this menace that was controlling the fire. On the outside the fire, then, changed shape and formed a pair of large arms with pincers on the ends as hands. Then, the hands literally began to attack the firemen and their equipment. The elite combated sometimes they would touch the fire with their fists or feet and get burned.

Buttercup: I know about fighting fires but this is ridiculous. (Moments passed by with conflict on both the outside and inside. Thanks to the girls and boys, the hands, I mean claws, were stopped.) Now that, that's taken care of...

Butch: Hey, Blossom. How do we get inside the fire?

Blossom: ...

Buttercup: Come on, Blossom. We're wasting time.

Blossom: Wait, we don't know what's inside. (Then, something flew out of the fire and flames. It was Dexter. He was bruised, he and his clothes were burned, and you can tell he toke a heavy beating. He was struggling to stay conscious, because if he doesn't he might be down and out.) Dexter!

Dexter: (trying to speak) Blossom, I know who is behind this. It's... (passes out)

Blossom: Dexter, WHO IS IT?? (A silhouette appeared from the flames. Of someone whom loads of people feared.)

???: So girls, we meet again...
