Day in the Omnitrix ~ S3

Slow Burn ~ 3

*4 hours before the blackout*

(Japan, Temple of sound. Newly remodeled ancient Japanese temple for conditioning and battle training. It is only populated by the original Echo Echo. Heatblast is over by the training grounds, surrounded by 6 clones of himself, all armed with pyroblades. Echo Echo watches.)

Heatblast: Start. 

(A clone charges him from behind and swings but Heatblast ducks under the slice with a split, then he elbows the clone in the crotch. He launches himself up while grabbing the fallen pyroblade, and jams it through the clone's chin and out the head. He slides the sword out in time to block the strikes from two other clones. He attempts to kick one in the gut but it catches his foot. Heatblast then does a fiery cross kick with his other foot across the two clones' faces. As they flip in the air, Heatblast splits them both in two. He starts to walk, then he places his fingers on both sides of the blade and whips off the excess flaming blood. He then stares down the remaining clones.)

Heatblast: So you just gonna stand there like bitches or are you going to finish what you started?

Clone 1: The fuck? You want me to attack you after seeing you dice those guys?

Heatblast: Come on man, this is no time to be aware. 

Clone 1: No time my ass, I'm not trying to get my ass chopped up. I know that's the point of my essence, but after seeing it, I have to say that it's not on my to do list.

Heatblast: (looking at Echo Echo) Echo, your clone is becoming aware and he's really fucking up my flow!

Echo Echo: Just kill him then.

Clone 1: Oh fuck the both of y-

(Heatblast jams his pyroblade through the clone's mouth and flicks it up, slicing it's head in half. A fountain of fiery blood launches out and Heatblast manipulates that fire into a fireball, which he then shoots one of clones with it, sending it flying. The last clone actually manages to get a brief duel in before it's demise. Heatblast flip kicks it in the air and slices it up. Heatblast then runs up the body parts in mid air, collecting fire on his feet, and once he gets to the head, he does a flaming tornado kick to the decapitated head, and sends it flying directly through the clone who got hit with the fire ball's  chest. Heatblast lands and plants the pyroblade in the ground. The clone falls to its knees, Heatblast approaches it, and with one finger, pushes it over)

Echo Echo: You know, it's slightly concerning how comfortable you are with killing yourself.

Heatblast: (walking back) Set it up again.

Echo Echo: Blast, you need to stop.

Heatblast: Set it up again or I will tell everyone you’re here.

Echo Echo: We both know you’re not going to do that.

Heatblast: Come on man, the deal was you let me come here to train and I don't let your secret out into the world.

Echo Echo: Well considering that it's been 3 years of you not showing even the slightest sign of snitching, nor of you doing actual training and more of a depressed killfest. My bullshit meter is through the roof.

(Heatblast looks down in mild sorrow)

Echo Echo: Come, let's walk.

(They start to walk)

Echo Echo: Now, what's on your mind.

Heatblast: (sighs) I got a kid. Good kid named Blaze. Haven't been able to see him that much because of work, but the other day I manage to have some fun with him, I find out that his mother is being pipped by Biggy, so ya know...life's greaaaaat.
