[color=gray]Kana groaned when she got the same treatment as always, she was being downplayed and it always got to her. The fiery young woman was about to speak in protest but decided to just bite her tongue. Kana crossed her arms and listened to everybody else, this wasn't how she planned on spending her day. That day was supposed to be a great day for Kana, she had made plans and everything after she had read an article that NASA had managed to predict a solar flare! And to Kana, solar flares meant more than doubling her power with fire for the day. She knew it had happened, she woke up feeling warmer, bolder and more energetic than usual; it was a feeling that Kana was very familiar with but got to experience it rarely.

That's it! Kana wasn't going to stand around and debate about something that was supposedly already settled. She waved her hand dismissively and turned to leave before they were even asked by Delta to leave for a while. Kana passed through the doorway without the enthusiasm she had when she entered. She stuffed her hands in her hoodie pockets and strolled down the corridor of the base quietly. As she got further and further from the mess hall, Kana put her earphones back in and started to listen to music. It wasn't long before she began to [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L744i6scE4I]sing along[/url], it wasn't the electronic music that Kana was known to love. Kana was singing in perfect synchronization, whether she just knew the lyrics or she actually knew Japanese was a mystery.

It took Kana a short while to get to her destination, a large stock room with plenty of open space in the middle. The room's edge was stocked with foods and supplies that always told Kana that Delta, Epsilon and the other alphas that she had become acquainted with over the months had this place set up for long term use. The room was dimly lit, of all the things Epsilon and Delta had done to make the base operable, they didn't seem it was that important to improve on the lighting in their warehouses. Kana didn't know if they cared or even thought about it, but nevertheless, the lighting made the large stockroom ominous in its own way.

Kana looked around, checking to see if anybody was around before she started to throw super heated fireballs around and experiment with something she had always wanted to do. Kana sat on her knees and placed her hands on her legs as if to meditate. She took in a deep breath, her power was a dangerous one if not controlled properly, she needed focus, especially when handling fire that was only strengthened by a solar flare. After relaxing, Kana raised a hand, [color=white][b]"Step one: Create fire."[/b][/color]

On cue, the air in her hand rippled and ignited. The brilliant orange flame danced in her grip, not burning the gloves she was wearing or bothering her in the slightest. [color=white][b]"Step two: Intensify heat."[/b][/color]

Kana closed her grip on the flame, the size of the fireball shrank as she did, but it allowed her to focus the heat into a smaller point. The flame turned from orange to blue. This was a trick she had learned two months prior, when she had a magnifying glass and was creating flame from the heat it made on a single point. The blue flames weren't the product of the solar flare, though it definitely made it easier to create. What Kana wanted was to see if she could intensify the heat even more. Kana closed her grip a bit more, and surely enough, the solar flare had allowed for her intensify the flame to stark white. Even she was starting to feel the fire burn her, her gloves were beginning to burn too. The white flame was small, only about the size of her thumb, but it was a heat source, she could make more fire from it.

[color=white][b]"Step three: Expand fire."[/b][/color] Now Kana had an incredibly intense heat source, so when she created fire from it, the flames were a fantastic blue-white, not as hot as the flame she had in her hand, but still really damn hot. She continued to expand her flames, the more she made, the hotter it got and soon enough, she had created a large white fireball. The ball was about the size of a soccer ball, to Kana, it felt like she was holding onto a star. The heat was getting uncomfortable and her glove had a good hole burnt through it now. She'd need to buy some new ones whenever she got out of the base.

[color=white][b]"Step four: Throw fire."[/b][/color] Kana didn't want to throw the flame at any of the supplies, when she had first used her fire on her ex-boyfriend's car, the flame had spread faster than it would have naturally. If she threw white flames at supplies, especially if things were flammable or explosive, she'd have a problem on her hands. Kana took a step back and overhand pitched the fireball into the floor. The fireball dispersed and the concrete floor was glowing red hot where it had hit.

Kana raised an eyebrow, [color=white][b]"I wonder..."[/b][/color] she focused on the heat of the glowing floor and managed to make more fire. She turned the glowing hotspot into a small puddle of blue flames and watched as she intensified the heat. The glowing floor got brighter. Kana formed a huge grin and started blasting a constant stream of fire at the glowing spot. She had stood there simply spewing blue fire at that one spot for ten minutes until she could've sworn she saw the floor bubble.

[color=white][b]"Holy shit!"[/b][/color] she said aloud and started to laugh uncontrollably, [color=white][b]"I just made fucking magma! This is -sick-!"[/b][/color]

Kana killed the flames dancing on top of the four foot by four foot pool of lava in the warehouse. She couldn't stop grinning, her fire, with the help of the solar flare, had succeeded in melting solid stone. Kana wondered how deep the pool was, but she wasn't about to find out. She started taking the heat that magma generated to create more fire. [color=white][b]"Oh man! Epsilon and Delta are going to be in a surprise when I spar with them today! Ha! The look on their faces will be priceless! Shit, I can't wait!"[/b][/color] she started jumping with joy at the prospect of catching those two with their pants down.

Kana had plenty of daylight left, which meant plenty of time with the power the solar flare had granted her. She needed to make sure she sparred with them before eight o'clock, when her element shifted to ice, and she needed to see if she could speed up the process of intensifying the heat of her flames. If she could do that, then she could speed up the creation of lava. Kana started thinking on how she could give herself an edge against the two in a spar.

She might be able to slow Delta down if she created a bubble of blue flames around herself, tight enough so another person couldn't fit in there without touching the fire, but large enough so Kana could still pivot and have full access to maneuvering. She could intensify the heat along the bottom of the dome to start melting down the concrete in a ring. With time and luck, Kana could have a ring of lava to create more, hotter, flames from. She'd need to figure out how to create enough light from her flames to make Epsilon's shadows easier to spot and hopefully defuse, but that sort of light would only from from her white fire.

Kana needed to practice, she was getting pretty confident with her ability to prove herself to those two, to be able to leave the base with them on their little missions. She worked on creating a bubble of fire around herself, worked on making more pools of lava. If only she could control the magma, she'd be in business, but one step at a time.[/color]
