Chapter 35: Vincent's Passion

As the claws from the mole fle towards Lars, he raised his hands in defense to block the attack, standin gin front of Zrilla and the young boy.

As he closed his eyes bracing for impact, he heard the sound of the claws colliding into something in front of him.

"What happend?" He said opening his eyes.

A wall of mud had formed in front of him protecting him from the projectiles.

"B?" He said looking around. He found no one, only the giant mole charging at him for another attack.

Looking at the mud wall, he thought back to his time with Seymour during training remembering their conversation.

"A Shifter with a frequency matching that of their cells could find themselves becoming immortal! or capable of multiplying themselves making millions of clones! Who knows with time, you may find yourself bein gable to control other phases of water like snow, ice or even steam!"

"Ofccaorse!" LArs exclaimed, as long as their is enough water in it!" He said manipulating the water. "I can use it!"

Pushing a smal wave of mud at the mole, he swept it off its feet causing it to land on its belly.

"I can manage to move it, but it requires so much ether!" Lars said. "And it's really heavy! I can't move it like I move water! Lets settle this quickly before the mole counterattacks!"

Using the mud below the mole to channel his ether, he began building up an ubsurd amount of pressure into the floor.

"Mud Geyser!" Lars cried.

Releasing all of the pressure at the same time, Lars launched the giant mole into the top of the Cave.

Crashing into the Ceiling the mole hit its head on hard stone knocking out with a single blow. It crashed back down to the floor, incapacitated with its toungue hanging out.

"Yay!" Zrilla cried.

"Nice!" The boy said giving Lars a thumbs up.

"You did great too" Lars said patting the boys head.

"Yeh Shahir thanks!" Zrilla said hugging him.

"HMMMMM!" A giant stone creature said eyeing Lars.

"Oh shit!" LArs thought. "Did I blow my cover?"

Looking him up and down the stone creature nodded its head and raised a finger.

"Good fight" The creature said. "You have been promoted you are no longer a slave but a foreman! For now go home, but tomorrow you will be reassign to a different mission! That is all!" The creature said.

(Back at the Lagara hieghts, Vincent had finnaly won Axel's friends over)

"I see!" 6 said. "So that's why your after Axel!"

"Why didn't you just say so!" Reggie said.

"Because I was pissed off! How could he just do that!!!!" Vinceent yelled.

"Heh, Yeh Baby blue messed up" B said shaking her head. "If you want to kick his but for that, I can understand"

"Hmmmm who wants to kick my but?" A voice called from the mineshaft.

"No way!"(b)

"Axel!"(6)

"Idiot!"(lANCE)

"RUUUUN BRO!! THIS GUYS GONNA KICK YOUR ASS!"(Reggie)

"Who is gonna kick my ass?" Lars said looking at Vincent.

"ME!!! YOU IDIOT!" Vince screamed.

"Hahh? Who are you again?" Lars laughed.

"Oh no" 6 said shaking his head.

"Now is not the time for jokes! What the hell are you doing in the Badlands!"

"Who the hell are you to ask! I don't even know you!"

"Lars stop messing around! He's serious!" 6 said.

"Stay out of this 6" B said. "Unless you want your butt to get kicked too."

Lars looked at Vincent again, this time paying close attention to his face. The Red hair, red bandana around his neck and silver chain angling from his clothes seemed fimiliar, but Lars couldn't place it.

"Wait a minute" Lars said. "YOu do seem fimiliar..."

"That's it!" Vince said exploding. "Maybe a good ass kicking will jog your memory!"

"Go ahead and try!" Lars said.

Exploding into a giant ball of Rage Vincent went far beyond his normal anger. Instead of orange, his flames began to burn bright red and his entire body became coated in flames.

"His ether!" Lance exclaimed. "IT's so hot even from here my eyes are tearing up! This guy is a freak of nature!"

"Run Ax!" Reggie yelled. "This guy is unreal! He kicked all of ouy asses at the same time! You don't have a chance!!!"

"Maybe so" Lars said. "But someone that strong isn't going to let me get away now is he!" Lars declared.

"Shut your mouth!" Vincent yelled. "I see now this Academy life has made you cocky! But if you really want to burn a bridge with me!" Vincent said heating up even more, flames were pouring out of his mouth now.

"Your gonna have to put my flame out first!"
