Caution To The Wind [BFDI + II AU]

All My Troubles,Burning Away

Firey's POV:

I'm bored! Balloon completely overwhelmed me in terms of strength, and just when I finally started to feel confident in myself! Now I feel pitiful,and I don't want to be pitiful at all. This is so humiliating,I can't believe this. I know,all I have to do is start something new to take my mind off of it! Yeah, that sounds about right. But what to do? I'll figure that out after I take a little nap.

...

I woke up in a forest,it was all burning. But for some reason, it felt....amazing. Like this was the purpose of my existence,the true essence of my being. I usually never try to find the hidden meaning of things,but for some reason, I just feel like this is what it was meant to be. I looked around the forest,and I saw corpses of animals,charred and burnt to ash. It brought me joy,like some type of drug. It doesn't feel real,though. It's probably a nightmare,but the way it makes me feel. makes it seem like a dream. Maybe if I did some like this in real life.. It would be a spectacle! My grand work of art! Explosions and ashes and heat galore! This is perfect. I can't wait to start. I woke up,and it was time to start my new vision. I sneaked out the door and took a moment to think. Where exactly do I start? Maybe Silver has some guidance on terrorism. "Hey,Silver. Do you have any ideas where to uh..burn?" I asked. He suddenly popped into view and said,"Maybe a Mephone store? It'll be fun!" That sounded fine,so I might was well trust him. Wait,how the FUCK did he pop into reality? You know what? Forget it. I just walked to the nearest Mephone spot and lit the place up,it was a spectacle! Something I'd never forget. Yeah,I'm probably crazy,but who cares? Not me,that's for sure. I walked away from the now burning scene and was stopped by a baseball? Are you serious. This armless guy is the one who's gonna stop me?  Maybe if I kill him, I'll be more known. Sounds like a plan. Increase the casualties,burn down the homes,and punt the children! Okay,maybe not that last one. Actually,do that one,I'll make a mental note of that one.

Baseball's POV:

Okay,Nickel's not around, and I have to fight this burning guy? I'm a hero, so it's my job to do something to stop him. I ran at him and went for a kick,but he caught my leg. Oh my God,this seems a little too familiar. What is this gag of my leg getting caught? What next? This kid Silver Spoon or something? The kid started glowing yellow. No,no, not again! I'm tired of getting punched with this garbage,"Wait wait wait-" He slammed his fist into my gut. Ow... that hurt. "That hurt. A lot. Still,I won't give up, villain!" I yelled,getting up. He laughed and grabbed my leg a second time. Oh you have got to be fucking with me. He started swinging me around like a ragdoll and threw me onto the ground. It is not looking good for me,dare I say it's looking grim. Still,I can't give up. I went for one last kick,and he tried to grab my leg. I curved my leg and nailed him in the back of his head,and jumped back. "How was that! Bet it hurt." I said,smiling happily. Finally, I landed a hit. He finally spoke. "Nice hit. What's your name?" The flame questioned. "Baseball. Leader of the armless alliance." I said. "Oh, and we used to have a balloon." I added. "Oh! You used to lead someone that strong? Very well then. I don't see a need to hold back anymore." The flame said,walking towards me. I threw a couple of feint kicks, and he stomped on me and threw me away again. I got up again,and I knew I had to finish this. I put the last of my strength into one last kick and charged at him. I threw the kick,and he disappeared,and my leg did too. Wait, what? My leg was gone. I only had one now,I started freaking out. What the fuck just amputated me? Everything's spinning,I I gonna die? This is scary,I don't wanna do this anymore. It feels like the words closing in on itself. Calm down,Baseball. Heh,Calm down? My fucking leg is GONE. The blood is still there. I can feel sweat dripping down my face. And blood trickling down my stump of my then leg. This is terrifying. Where did he go? And was he the one who took my leg? That's not the big question right now. The real thing I should be asking is...

how much time do I have left until I bleed out? I'm supposed to be strong,and villainy should cower before me and my hero friends,but here I am,freaking out and bleeding to death. I'm just a normal person,with a few things that make life easier. Did I seriously think I could be some kind of hero? That's laughable,how stupid I am. But if the blood keeps leaking out of me,I'm going to die. That's what I know,with all certainty. But how can I stop it? I know! When I use my powers,my leg starts to tense up. Maybe if I strain it enough, the blood will stop leaving me! (I don't know If that's how it works,but please just roll with it I beg of you) I tried my idea out,and it worked! Maybe I won't die today! Maybe I'll be able to see Suitcase again and catch up with everyone. While I was smiling with my discovery,my eyelids started to feel heavy.. and everything went black.

I tried to make baseball more relatable to people, so tell me if he appealed to that idea. Honestly, I like baseball, so it's sad to see him like this,but the story comes first sorry Baseball.
