24 First Flame 2

A few dozen metres away, walking through a dense foliage of trees, and towering above them, easily fifty feet in height, was a massive brown lion bodied creature, with the head and antlers of a moose and gigantic saber tooth teeth jutting down from its mouth.

"Oh wow, a saber tooth moose lion! And it's a really big one, it's way bigger than the one that was at the circus!" Ty Lee clapped in excitement, changing gears quickly, "Do you think it will let me ride it?"

I grinned as a thought came to mind, "Oh I think it will, after a little disciplining," I replied, moving forward to stand in front of her, "Here, I'll show you one of the other abilities I got from that dragon spirit."

"Another one, how many did you get from it?" Ty Lee arched a single brow at me in question.

"Quite a lot, you wouldn't believe how many spirits that thing devoured." I replied, just as another bellowing roar was targeted at us and the earth began to tremble beneath our feet as the saber tooth moose lion shot forward, trampling trees in its wake as it rushed towards us at incredible speed. I eyed it for a moment as it ran at us, but its level never appeared over its head. I guess they were toggled off as well. Oh well.

I can't use too much fire bending here, I don't want to kill it. That leaves weapons. And good thing I have a lot of them. I lifted my hand into the air. The air rippled as a large, heavy iron war hammer appeared in one hand, while a tri headed iron spear appeared in the other.

I stepped forward and heaved hard. The heavy iron war hammer went flying through the air, spinning head over tail and slammed into its face. It reared back from the blow, even as the iron warhammer slammed into the ground, and that was my chance to spin and step into my next attack, rearing the spear up over my shoulder, I threw it like a javelin through the air. It pierced into the side of the giant beast a moment later, blood spurting out into the air from where it stabbed into it.

It roared in pain, and the surprise of the second attack and ended up tripping on its own feet, slamming into the ground hard enough to make the ground shake beneath me.

"So that's where all the weapons from those armouries went! No wonder everyone was in a panic, you totally nabbed them all!" Ty Lee giggled, wrapped her arms around my neck and clinging to my back, pressing the delightful softness of her full squishy breasts into my back, "You're such a bad boy Zan." She whispered in my ear.

"Guilty." I grinned once more.

A loud angry snarl drew my attention back to the massive creature I just downed a moment, pushing itself to its feet despite the hits it had just taken, even with the spear sticking out of its side.

It shook its head as it reached its full height, and then it was off, making the earth tremble beneath its feet once again as it charged at us for a second time. But, here's something interesting about my inventory. Once I have claimed an item with my inventory, I can return them to it with just a thought.

And with that thought, the iron war hammer and tri headed spear returned to my inventory. I could repeat what I just did again if I wanted, or I could even charge it, now with its side stabbed, it had lost some speed and mobility. But I had a decent idea. I didn't need to aim for anywhere fatal with my fire bending after all.

It was tempting to try out my new signature technique. I'd worked on a miniature version of it a lot during my time driving the tank train and not had the chance to try a real big proper version of it. But, if it worked, it would outright kill it. And I didn't want that.

So instead, I pulled my hands back, clenching them into fists and drew upon my chi. Then I thrust forward, unleashing a pair of explosively powerful and meltingly hot fire streams that combined into one much larger and more more powerful attack.

With its mobility cut, the saber tooth moose lion couldn't dodge in time, and the explosive red hot massive stream of fire slammed into its front legs, the sheer force sweeping the massive beasts legs right from under it.

A yowl of pain left the beast as its legs buckled underneath it, from the force and red hot flames burning at it and and it fell face forward into the ground hard, sliding to a stop a few feet in front of me and Ty Lee.

"That's just cheating now," Ty Lee snorted, "The poor thing is way too big to dodge something like that. You big bully." though there was no heat in her words. It had attacked us after all.

"What can I say baby, I've always been bad." I looked over my shoulder at her and wiggled my eyebrows at her.

"Is that right?" she teased, leaning forward to brush her nose with mine, before pulling back and looking at the downed saber tooth moose lion trying struggling and failing to stand on its mangled, burnt legs, "What about this guy? You should put it out of its misery, it's kind of cruel to leave it like that."

"Don't worry, I'm not gonna kill it, and it'll be fine in a second," I said, walking over to the giant antlered beast. When it saw me coming closer, its slitted eyes went wide and it struggled all the harder. When I was just in front of it, it snapped out with its huge teeth and tried to skewer me, but it was simple to step back and avoid it with how limited its movements were now, even with Ty Lee on my back, "Watch this." I said to the girl on my back and then placed one hand on its retreating snout and activated my Beast Tamer ability.

Light erupted from my palm, washing over the beast, and it shook and snarled for all of a few seconds, before reluctantly lowering its head in submission and accepting its fate. And with but a mental command, the light around it grew brighter, before bursting apart. And suddenly, the saber tooth moose lion was gone, and in my hand I held a small brown spherical crystal, with a miniature version of the saber tooth moose lion.

"Eh, where did it go?" Ty Lee gaped, looking around wildly, "Did you put it in your inventory?"

"Close, it's actually right here," I said, and held the sphere up for her to examine, "This ability I got from that dragon spirit, lets me turn beasts and the like into my subordinates if I make them submit to me. It's even better in the fact that even if they die, they'll just reform and live again as long as I'm alive."

Ty Lee ooh'd and aah'd over the crystal, before; "That's a really weird ability, but really cool as well!" she pointed out.

"It is, but I really like it anyway." I agreed.

She pressed a wet smooch to the back of my neck, "Still now that your new little pet has been taken care of, where were we?" she giggled in my ear, the voluptuous, incredibly limber girl contorted down over my head, looking me in the eyes before going down further until her lips were level with mine and kissing me again.

...Huh, eat your heart out Spiderman.​
