The troll grunted as it sent hammer after hammer into his mid-section, pummelling him deeper and deeper into the mortar until it was entirely concave around his body. Satisfied with its work, the troll let out a breath of smoke through its nostrils and turned to wreak more havoc on the streets. Ronnie groaned, trying to claw his way out as heavy bricks rained down onto him with every movement. For a moment he resigned himself to this clay tomb, staring up at the sky through floating dust. [color=aba000]"Get up, kid. We've got work to do."[/color] [color=fff200]"Yeah, yeah..."[/color] He rubbed his eyes and pushed himself back to his feet, grabbing a brick as he rose and tossing it up and catching it. [color=fff200]"Hey, ugly!"[/color] He called to the fire troll, tossing the brick as hard as he could against the back of it's huge head. It turned over its shoulder to face him. [color=fff200]"I didn't hear no bell."[/color] He launched at the beast, a trail of nuclear energy burning behind him, calling on what energy he had left he burned white hot - streaks of plasma ash marking the ground behind him. He angled up at the last second, gripping onto its horns and dragging the lumbering mass through concrete, tearing up the ground before raising up into the sky above the city. His emotions were running hot and so was he. This was more power coursing through him than he'd ever felt before. He was a hundred feet up and rising, holding the troll up by one horn and punching him in the face with his spare fist. [color=fff200]"You wanna show me up in my city, huh? Embarass me in front of my friends? I'm gonna send you home in a lunch box pal, you're going to be eating lava cake through a tube for a year after I'm done with you!"[/color] He continued his assault, both verbal and physical. The horn he was holding onto with his nuclear burning hand was beginning to crack at its base. Finally against an onslaught of damage it snapped and the troll was in free fall, tumbling down towards the city below. [color=aba000]"Ronnie, that thing is going to land in the city! It could crush someone!"[/color] Jesus, when he was right he was right. Maybe this wasn't the smartest plan. With a grunt he angled downards and shot down like a falling star. He quickly beat the troll to the ground, singeing its fur as he passed by. He looked up as his feet touched down, the troll was falling, just a dot blocking out the sun that grew and grew until it was almost upon him. He braced himself, holding his hands palm up above his head to catch the thing which sent his ankles a few inches below the concrete. He tossed the monster to the ground ahead and pulled his feet up breathing heavily. [color=fff200]"God damn these things can take a beating. I've gotta regroup with the other guys I'm not sure I can take much more of this-"[/color] The troll stirred awake, pushing itself up on one arm and staggering to its feet. [color=fff200]"Oh for Pete's sake come on!"[/color] Ronnie got into a fighting stance again, ready to burst out with the last of his reserves and jump on the beast. Its eyes were glassy and it looked almost straight through Ronnie as it spoke. [color=orangered][b]“KING ATLAN HAS RETURNED.”[/b][/color] Ronnie looked incredulous. These things could speak?! They had a feudal system?! The giant began to slowly trudge towards the water, disappearing under the crashing waves. Ronnie rubbed his eyes, this had been a hell of a day. He flew back to the group surrounding the blonde boy. He was now battered and bruised, with blood trickling down from his nose and smearing his upper lip. [color=fff200]"Uh, I think we might've won guys?"[/color] He scanned his surroundings, full of fire and debris. [color=fff200]"Although I'm not sure what the prize for winning is, looks like our work has just started.[/color]
