It's Emma and Andrew Vs. Stone/The Lizard. 

Who will win, and who will die trying?

Chapter Thirteen

The two of us finally made it to the door that led to the roof. It took about a hundred flights of stairs...but we were here, and ready to fight. It was a long way up the stairs, but somehow our adrenaline kept us from getting tired. Good thing too, because the minute we stepped on that roof, I knew we were in for a ride, emotional and physical. 

"Andrew, here's the plan." He nodded as I went on, "I'll do my best to distract him while you work on that machine. But, you need to listen, if something bad happens to me....don't save me."

Andrew gasped. "No, I'm not letting you die, Em."

"Never stop working on trying to turn that damn thing off, okay? Even if I'm dangling from the building." I put a hand on his cheek, "Okay?"

Andrew sighed but nodded, giving me a hug before we faced the door again. "You've always been TOO brave, Emma." He gave a soft smile.

I smiled back and was about to use a force burst on the door, but Andrew beat me to it, kicking the door open instead. He gave me a smirk as I shrugged.

"That works."

Once we stepped out of the doorframe and to the roof, we both froze, all smiles gone. Dr. Stone wasn't there, instead a giant Lizard that was standing on its hind legs was there. He was huge, his scales green as his body was covered by shreds of Dr. Stone's old outfit. His eyes were yellow, its pupil a line as its tail swung mightly. 

"Uncle...Uncle John?" Andrew asked, his voice quiet with fear.

The Lizard turned to us, and stared at Andrew. His eyes narrowed as he let out a roar, then went to backhand Andrew with its mighty hand.

"BACK!" I quickly pulled Andrew back, the two of us landing on our backs. 

The Lizard roared again as its claw popped out, ready to kill. As its clawed hands came down, I did a forcefield that protected both Andrew and I. It was realiving in a sense to know my powers could hold up againtist the beast. 

I pushed it towards him, causing him to stumble back a bit. Andrew and I quickly stumbled to our feet, the boys holding onto me as I regained my balance. The Lizard looked at us, charging back towards us. I pushed Andrew away.

"Hide!"

Andrew went behind a electrical box, just as the Lizard back handed me towards the edge of the building. I groaned in pain, my side was burning as a result of the impact. I liked it better when I was matched with my attackers...not fighting something that belonged in Jurasstic Park.

He came back, claws out and ready to attack me. He was able to tear off a piece of my suit material from my arm, but I was able to use a forcefield. I watched as he crawled at it, trying to get through. 

Although it didn't look like he was doing much, I could feel the field wearing down, my strenght failing. I looked at the cut on my arm as a way to avoid the Lizard's terrifying gaze,  a bit of blood oozing out of the cut. I watched as Andrew srambled from his hiding spot and to the control panel of the machine. Good, we can end this now!

My distractions got the best of me as the forcefield went down, the Lizard now picking me up with his crawls in the fabris of my suit. I used force burst to try to get his grip down but he was merely annoyed by it. I cringed, this was it.

Suddenly, a wrench that I saw Stone use earlier collided with the back of his head. If I had any air, I would've gasped, but instead it came out with a rasp as I saw Andrew lower his arm. Does no one listen to me?!
