Storm

Chapter 7

"Welcome to the Dream Lair! I am the ruler of Plant Drool." said a mysterious voice.

"No you're not! Max is!" I yelled.

"Max may have dreamt it originally...but I am much...cooler. I...am Minus." He said with a villainous grin.

"How'd you get so powerful?" Max asked.

"I did a lot of reading." He held up Max's dream journal with a smirk on his face.

"My book of dreams! That's why everything is so messed up-he's changing it!" Max exclaimed.

"Electric eels. Shocking, isn't it, Sharkboy? Reminds me of the time that electrical storm blew apart your father's laboratory." I suddenly saw a tank of electric eels underneath Sharkboy. He started kicking them as the eels tried to electrocute him. He suddenly stopped at the thought of his father.

"Where is my father?" He asked with a serious expression.

"Let's see. Check the bottom of the ocean." He said with an evil expression and moved onto Lavagirl.

"Now Lavagirl...Once I figure out how to freeze the planet's core all of your powers will disappear."

"Like Storm and powers? What powers?" She asked with confusion written on her face. He ignored her questions and moved on to me.

"And Storm...about your family-"

"What happened to them?" I asked desperately.

"It is quite tragic." He said as he read the page that had mentioned my family. I stared at him until he had finished reading.

"What happened?" I said as tears started to brim my eyes.

"Your family never loved you. They were scientists and did experiments on you when you were young. Something went wrong...and you killed them. Your powers got out of control causing everything to burn to the ground." He sent an evil smirk as he moved on to Max. I gasped at the thought of me being evil. I trembled at the thought as my mind went completely blank. I felt myself getting dropped into a cage with the rest of the team when I saw everybody trying to get out.

"If I could just get my dream journal, I could turn everything back to the way it was." I heard Max explain.

"My fire's dimming. I can't melt the bars." Lavagirl said.

"My strength is failing me as well." Sharkboy said, struggling to bend the bars.

"How much time do we have, Sharkboy?" I mumbled.

"Who cares? We're never getting out of here." He said with a disappointed tone. I suddenly saw a bunch of La La's come near the cage.

"La La's." Lavagirl said with a calm tone.

"They like you." Max said.

"I don't feel distracted right now." She said.

"I do! This song is driving me crazy!" Sharkboy said, covering his ears.

"Me too!" I yelled as I covered my own ears.

"He's a cold fish and she's a flame." Lavagirl said towards Max.

"We're serious!" I yelled as I continued to cover my ears.

"They're singing at a frequency...my highly trained ears find...disturbing!" Sharkboy yelled.

"Sing louder. Sing higher." She told the La La's and pulled Max so he was a distance away from us.

"You don't want to be too close when they explode." The La La's continued to sing to a point where Sharkboy and I both lost it. I felt my power at its highest peak as I saw flames bursting from all around me.
