Fury

The Inferno

   Jaxion prepared for the last revenge robbery throughout the rest of the day. Shade stayed by his side but wasn't able to do anything but fearfully and mournfully watch, hiding these feelings and thoughts. Jaxion acted methodically, occasionally laughing and constantly grinning as he laid out his plans, as he prepared for both the robbery and the future after it. At one point he went on a rant about how his superiors would die regretting everything and how he would lead a very comfortable and wealthy life, with Shade of course.

   As evening rolled around Jaxion finished, and the bank closed. He gave Shade a few pats saying he would be back soon and teleported to the bank, going through all the steps. He almost got caught a few times, having to block the cameras rather than completely disable them, and having to be more careful with his movements because of the several times upgraded security. He cleared out the rest of the bank, teleporting to his basement and transferring all the crystals from the dimensional storage into there. He stayed there admiring all of his stolen wealth for a bit before getting the things he needed for the last stage of his revenge.

   Jaxion teleported back to the bank, only to find that he was surrounded! Immediately he was shouted at to raise his hands and surrender, many weapons and spells being pointed at him should he make one false move. His face was one of shock, disbelief, before morphing into one of anger, and then a very wide grin. He chuckled, raising his hands into the air, before teleporting straight into the bank. All of the alarms went off as he kept grinning, all thoughts of his revenge dominant. He laughed as he heard shouting above the wailing sirens, shrill and low as he snapped his fingers. A fire started, small enough to be put out immediately, if someone were there to do so. Instead Jaxion helped the fire grow, creating a small barrier around himself as the fire spread, quickly turning the bank into an inferno and forcing the officers that were charging in out.

   Jaxion's laughter intermingled with the sounds of the fire, with the sounds of the building starting to collapse. It continued, never stopping as the officers called the firemen, as those living around awoke and rushed to the scene. Shivers went up spines as a dark, crazed, never ending laughter rose from the crackling, hissing, thudding and creaking as the building was eaten by the dancing, raging flames.

   The flames looked a bit odd, unnatural even as they devoured everything they touched. The ground around the bank was blackened, turning a deep shade of purple in a few spots and always, completely, burning as the officers were forced further and further away from the roaring inferno. These horrifying flames that were spreading were crimson red, mixed with other colors such as deep violet purple, bright glaring orange, hell flame blue, and sun searing yellow. It got to the point everyone had to look away!

   In the core of this impossible inferno was Jaxion, his laughter never ending as his grin was carved on his face, a mantra of revenge forever going through his mind. The flames around him swirled around his small shield, he was on his knees as a lock of his braided hair started turning black, creeping ever so slowly down as his eyes glazed over, the right becoming as black as the burning ashes surrounding him. His barrier started flickering, allowing wisps of his creation in, yet never really touching the insanity driven Jaxion.

   The intense heat seemed to not phase him, the pressure being made ignored, the sounds all consuming as the building completely collapsed, bringing much more weight down on the flickering barrier. Now the sounds of sirens other than the police could be heard by those outside, and soon water quickly started pouring onto the doomed, collapsed bank as the fire dimmed, but wouldn't extinguish.

   Eventually the laughing stopped, and the only fire left was the smouldering purple that just wouldn't leave like a curse. The police and firemen agreed that nothing would be able to be salvaged or survive, and so took care of the traumatized residents and the leftover work. Unbeknownst to them however, Jaxion survived.
