Astron's Cry: Chapter 9

Josh's P.O.V

Fires engulfed the fueling station. The flames are now moving in an incredible speed through conduction, convection and radiation. The hot air heats up the surrounding into 45 degrees celsius or more. I decided to walk towards the fire and allowed the radiant heat of the fire to make me regenerate. I could feel my powers returning, and after that, I looked for my friends.

My friends are busy looking to douse the fires off. The water are no use to douse this kind of flames.

Just then, Mary crouched down and picked up a handful of dirt, and hurl it towards the fire. The fire seemed to get lower, as the fire was being deprived of oxygen.

We tried to follow what she is doing, but our hands are not as big as hers, so little by little, we throw it into the fire.

I scooped a handful of dirt into my hands and hurl it into the fire. My hands are smaller compared to the rest of my team so I can't do much, rather than constantly regenerating, but the constant regeneration is not effective since I spend most of my powers just to keep myself awake. Hypnos and Morpheus's influence had become greater now.

I transformed into silver form and gasped. Sure I may not regenerate as much, but Artemis isn't captured so her moon powers can provide me shelter from Morpheus and Hypnos.

The fires seemed to lower its intensity, and we kept supressing the fire from growing. Heart is already standing in the middle of the fire, absorbing every heat and fire she managed to muster up. The fire seemed to be shrinking towards her as she absorbed more and more fire.

Finally, the fire died down, and Heart looked more powerful than ever.
