Chapter Sixty Four

"Why don't you die?" screamed the Dominator.

"No such luck," said Adam. "You're going to have to do a lot better."

"Here it comes boy!"

The Dominator picked up a huge lump of metal from the surrounding debris and hurled it at Adam who batted it away and smiled.

"Do better."

Adam leapt at the Dominator and brought both his fists down and smashed the super villain into the ground and pounded again and again, smashing the figure further and further into the ground. With a great tearing of metal the Dominator leapt out.

"So will you!"

Meanwhile Whitesnake advanced on Brigitte. Brigitte put up her fists. Whitesnake smirked and reached out and grabbed the girl by her hood and picked her up. She balled a fist and drew it back intending to bash Brigitte in the face.

"Oh I'm going to enjoy this."

Suddenly a great wind smote both girls and they tumbled over themselves. The wind was concentrated on Whitesnake and she was picked up and borne away screaming. Brigitte watched her disappear into the horizon open mouthed.

"Where did that come from?"

She didn't have far to look. Chi Lung stood on all four of its great legs, blowing a great wind from his mouth. Next Lung turned its great scaly head towards the Dominator and blew out fire. Unlike George's fire, this was real and it burnt. The Dominator was engulfed by it. Lung stood issuing a great conflagration from its nostrils, like a mighty flame thrower.

Lung stopped the fire and the flames died away. The Dominator was kneeling, his armour gone. He looked like a withered old man. Then all of a sudden he became younger and stronger and the armour rebuilt itself around his body. He stood up and faced the dragon.

"Do better."

Adam brandished a steel girder and whacked it hard against the Dominators' skull. The Dominator turned. He glanced at both Lung and Adam and put out his gauntlets and made a beckoning motion with his fingers to both adversaries.

"Oh you two have made me so angry," growled the Dominator. "And you're going to wish you hadn't."

The Bug was grappling with Caliban. Brigitte suddenly realized Caliban may not have his ear plugs in. In fact why should he? She rifled in her red costume for the dog whistle and found it.

"I'm glad I didn't fire you from my catapult," she said and blue hard into the whistle.

Caliban had one of the Bug's arms in his jaws and was shaking it, trying bite through the armour and break the boy's arm. All of a sudden the senior jerked up, his doggy ears springing up on his head. All of a sudden Caliban yelped and ran off on all fours and joined Whitesnake in the distance.

Adam and Lung attacked the Dominator from both sides. The Dominator disappeared under their attack and then both combatants were flung aside as the Dominator flexed his huge strength.

"Give me some room!" he roared standing erect.

Lung lunged forward and grabbed the Dominator in its massive jaws and proceeded to bite down.

Malcolm had been wrestling with Clifford Watt. Both youths were the same height though Malcolm was five years younger. Malcolm was stronger and he pinned Watt to the floor, his hands around both Malcolm's wrists.

"Yield churl!"

An extremely rude word appeared on Clifford Watt's visor and the Dominator's son struggled to throw Malcolm from him.

"Then I will hold you here for as long as I have to."

"Father!" cried Clifford Watt. "Help!"

The Dominator was busy wresting himself free from Lungs jaws. He pushed apart the jaws and rolled out onto the floor. He got to his feet. Adam struck him.

"Stay down!"

"You stay down!" said the Dominator.

He landed a blow on the side of the boy's head and hit him again and again. Stunned Adam fell to his knees. The Dominator turned his attention on Lung and gave the dragon a barrage of blows, one after the other in rapid succession. Lung rolled over and was still.

The good students finally turned on the turncoats and the entire Nexus exploded into conflict.

Adam was at Lung's side. The dragon slightly opened one eye. Adam looked at the huge green slit with the black diamond shaped iris at its centre.

"It's up to you Adam," said Lung. "Everyone has a weakness. Find his."

The dragon's heavy head slumped to the ground. The golden scales turned to iron grey.

"Lung!" screamed Adam.

He stood up and turned facing the Dominator. Adam's fists were clenched. The massive boy was covered in cuts and bruises and his clothes ripped apart. He glared at the Dominator and looked like a vision from Hell.

"Now you made me mad."
