FlameX:

Chapter 1

The City of Townsville. People live in thousands there. Living off one thing: Fire. Fire is what powers the houses What cooks the food. What warms the people. Fire: It's what runs Townsville.

A beam of fire shot from Brick's mouth.

"Get 'em, boys!", he shouted in a frenzy.

Boomer and Butch shot forward, but Buttercup slammed a punch into Boomer, while Bubbles was blasted back by a full force smash from Butch. Blossom stared down Brick. She was taking him down. She shot forward, blowing ice breath in the air, but missing by an inch.

"Nice shot. But my aim's better!"

Another bolt of fire zoomed forth, burning Blossom across the face. Bubbles recovered, hopping up from the wall she was slammed into.

Then, she screamed.

All three RowdyRuffs covered their ears in pain.

"Augh!"

The rest was easy. All three of them kicked the boys back to the volcano observatory, REALLY HARD.

"Go home, boys!" laughed Blossom.

"We'll be baaaaaaaaaaack!" shouted Boomer as he faded out of sight.

"How come the scream didn't hurt you guys' ears?" asked Bubbles.

"'Cause we're used to you screaming like a baby!" snickered Buttercup.

"Cut that out, Buttercup. Anyway, we gotta get home and get my burn fixed up." Said Blossom, rubbing her burn

Pink, blue, and green streaks shot across Townsville.

Finally, they reached home.

"Professor!" Yelled Blossom and all three girls hugged him.

"Oh, you girls! ...Blossom, what's that on your face?"

She rubbed her burn again. "Oh, nothing, it's just a burn. I got it from Brick's firebreath."

"I better treat it with some Chemical X." said the Professor, beginning to walk away.

"No, I'm fine!" said Blossom confidently.

Hmm… Professor Utonium thought to himself, I don't want them to be burned anymore, if Brick's Chemical X affected-fire could wound her, then I need some way to combat it…

Deep inside the Lab

Proffesor Utonium walked down the stairs into the dark basement lab, stopping to grab a beaker of Chemical X. He sat down on his desk, turning on the Bunsen burner.

It's too dangerous out there. If Brick's fire blast had hit closer, Blossom could be dead right now. I can't let this happen. I need to know fire's effect on Chemical X…

He carefully placed the beaker on the Bunsen burner. At first, everything was going fine. But then he noticed something. The beaker of Chemical X…it was glowing red.

"Oh my god. It's going to explode."

He shot upstairs, slamming the lab door shut, running through the hall, he let out a scream:

"Girls! Get out of-"

The house was suddenly engulfed in flame.
