《Bound in the Dark》Pyro & Aquas Meeting Part 1
Advertisement
So as you saw last Aqua has yet to meet Pyro who is the one she must protect and guide, if you will.
Aquas POV:
As soon as I arrived in this foreign land I've seen nothing but people who have their minds clouded, like none of them have a purpose in life. It seems as all of them are just living for the sake of living. It's strange to me, that none of them even know that beasts of ancient times are loose upon this earth. None of them even know of the Cataclysm that's about to befall them or the Unknown terror that exists. At least I know, as long as the Pheonix Fire exists as well and as long as I could be of use to its wielder, there'd be hope for us all (or so I thought). I say this but I haven't even seen him! This is so annoying! I am so irritated! It's cool Aqua, calm your head down it's all going to be alright. As soon as I say this my Master walks in...
Inferno:" Hey Aqua! How's the city life? Is it treating ya well. Nah I'm just kidding, I know it's hard to adapt but I am making progress with my boy. Yes I call him that but not to his face, he really does hate me, after all haha!"
I answer back:" Good day Master Inferno! The city life's... fine. So is he ready? Has he developed his abilities enough to stop the Cataclysm?"
Inferno:" Again with the master thing. I'd thought you'd given up on that already, but I guess it'll stick. Anyway what's with the long pause? Lemme guess it's too loud for you. Oh and Pyro... yeah let's just say the kid has enough raw power and his potential is even greater, however..."
"However?"
Inferno:" His anger has a hold of him and I sense malice within him, even though I've told the idiot countless times that he needs to harness his negative feelings, especially his anger. Soooo... you've got your work cut out for you Aqua. Sorry about that hehe."
"It's okay master I am here to help him on his way as his WATchER. I am here to be of service to him in whatever way is possible. And another thing Master. Why do I sense some of our clans energy within some of the people here. It seems unusual that many of them possess the aura of the clans but cannot use it. It is faint though."
Inferno:" Oh that? That's cause of the movement of the clans, some moved here and decided to blend in with regular people eventually becoming regular people themselves. This obviously has happened over a couple millennia since there's so many of them with dormant abilities. You can sense all of them, can't you? I know you're able to feel their energies and since you're asking that question then I guess I have my answer. You're definitely a prodigy of your generation. I really hope some of that will rub off on Pyro. Oh and by the way. I think he's ready for you to see him. I mean we have been training for quite a while haven't we. I bet you were getting a little agitated weren't you Aqua?"

Aqua sits there in silence.
Inferno:" You know Aqua, you've always had this tendency to be a little too uptight, sometimes too obedient and quiet, but hopefully Pyro himself might be able to teach you some things about letting loose. Oh and I think you're gonna whip him into shape too. Hey, how about this. Why don't you be his girlfriend. You've never had a boyfriend before since you were cooped up training but now you're kind of free to do as you please. Not saying you have to, but at least think about it. Oh and I need an eye on that idiot. I would like if you accepted. He's not bad looking either.
Aqua replies a little bit flustered:" B-boyfriend? No master, I could not. I have my training which takes most of my time and have my obligation as WATchER as well. I could not waste my time on things like relationships."
Inferno laughs and says:" Well don't you think it could be beneficial for you who should be watching him 24/7. Think about it. How much closer can a WATchER get then to be the lover of Phoenix Flame wielder? Well? What do you think? You don't have to though you can still continue as WATchER, if you hate his guts. I know it's hard for someone to find your approval so I understand."
Aqua holds off in silence then finally answers softly almost whispering in fact:" I'll...I'll think about it."
Inferno pretends as if he doesn't hear this and moves onto his next topic:" Well look at the time, should be close for him to come home from school, that's if that moron actually went to school this time. So Aqua it's your turn to make yourself known!"
Aqua answers with a smirk and walks out of her hotel room to begin her journey with Pyro, of course introductions are in order.
You'd think a girl of the clans would be lost in the the concrete jungle but this prodigy already knows where Pyro lives and could get there without her Mentors ( hey don't call me that!) help.
As she waits for Pyro to arrive she contemplates within herself as to what she needs to do as a WATchER and she wonders if her mentor was serious about the whole girlfriend situation (she's really giving it some thought but she has other thoughts traveling through her mind, such as her duties first and foremost.) As these thoughts are in her mind. She notices a figure showing itself in front of her. And since she's sitting in front of the house so there's no one else to bump into but her. And the person who's shows up is none other then... Pyro.
So what would you think is the first thing Pyro says after he sees a beautiful young maiden such as Aqua sitting in front of his very own doorstep?
"Get lost bitch!"
Yep his first words are definitely not gonna be taken well.
As soon as those words fly out of his mouth, the first things for him to see are the floor and the sky. Yes, Aqua is not the type to take arrogance and a lack of respect lightly. However, this person who's shes tumbled is the wielder of the Pheonix fire.

Pyro is then left in a daze for a few seconds. After recovering he lets out a few words:" You crazy bitch what the fuck are you doing, I am gonna roast you for this. Dammit now another loser flipped me over, I'm never gonna live this shit down. If you think I'm just going to take this lying down bitch... you're wrong, I'm fucking Pyro, I'm gonna kick your ass."
Aqua says nothing, wanting to break the boys arm with a smile but one thing in the back of her mind stops her. The mention of the name Pyro. And this is what brings her back to her senses. She snaps out of it and instantly apologizes for her blunder:" Lord Pyro, please forgive me, I am so sorry, if you wish to punish me so be it."
Pyro just gives her a skewed look:" What the hell is wrong with you. Who the hell do you think you are stupid bitch, who you calling lord, I'm just Pyro I ain't nobody's lord!"
Aqua continues to apologize and starts to actually introduce herself:" I truly am sorry Lord Pyro. I am Aqua and I am here to be your WATchER as explained by Master Inferno, please forgive my rudeness."
Again Pyro is left confused not knowing what is happening due to the fact that Inferno never even mentioned anything about the WATchER that is standing before him.
"What the heck are you talking about. Wait did you say Inferno? As in Inferno, Inferno, my lame good for nothing Dad? And did you say Master? Him? That loser?"
Aqua begins to show a bit of irritation in her face due to the lack of respect Pyro has towards her master.
She speaks again and she says this with Pride:" Yes! Master Inferno is the greatest and most powerful clansmen of the two clans. None of both the Infernus and Liquid clans could match his strength till this very day. He is a coveted and respected member of the clans and is seen as a legend within our ranks! You'd be wise to show him some respect...boy."
Pyro mouths off again:" Oh please there's way that lame ass no-show is good for anything but being a disappointment to everyone around him. I'm ten times better then he could ever be. I know that because I spent some time with him and already I'm way stronger then he could ever be! He's weaker then I could ever imagine. There's no way a lame-o like him is anyway as near as good as you say he is haha."
It was at this point that Aqua has had enough. Her calm demeanor has long since disappeared. And this is where she declares a challenge towards Pyro.
"Challenge me!"
"What?"
"Challenge me boy!" Here, her honorifics for Pyro has completely disappeared and she refers to him only as 'boy'."
"Yeah you know what I'll take you on bitch, let's throw down."
However Aqua does not see a point in senseless fights, this is why she issues conditions with said challenge:" And when I beat the crap out of you boy, you'll learn a bit of respect. I'll beat humility into you. You will not utter another word of disrespect in my Masters direction."
Pyro just acts all tough and cocky with his responses:" Yeah, whatever you ain't gonna beat me slut. Not when I have this."
Pyro laughs as his flames engulf his hands and feels quite a bit of pride in himself but what he fails to see after this display of his own, is that Aqua herself remains completely unfazed and calm. "Hey you'd better start running or you're gonna be French toast!" As he is done saying this he throws a couple of fireballs her way. And guess what happens.
Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Aqua is seen walking out of the flames as if they barely even touch her however the flames are doing just that. Just not how you would expect them to. As soon as the flames reach her proximity they begin to be negated by her water barrier. The barrier itself is unseeable to the naked eye but is this way because of Aquas immense training with her power. The water particles itself are dense and even though it's not seeable it is quite a thick and impenetrable shield.
And as she walks, Pyro starts to sweat begins thinking twice about actually taking her on, but with his thick skull he's definitely not giving up:" What the heck is this chick. Well guess I'll have to try even harder to burn you to a crisp!" and with that Pyro tries condensing his flames further whilst adding more flames to his already condensed flames making them even more powerful... then begins throwing those at Aqua. But to no avail Pyros efforts are useless, he tries it more and more but it's not working and he begins cursing again and again all while saying : I can't lose to a chick no way in heaven or hell am I going to lose to you bitch!"
As he tries to throw his last fire ball at her he blinks and when he opens his eyes she's right in front of him ready with a smirk and a punch but that smirk soon disappears as she gives him one of the best punches in history. All while saying:" You are weak!"
All that's seen from Pyros side is a really pretty girl about to wail on him giving him a punch of a lifetime and with that Pyro's seen snoring a couple seconds later.
After this he wakes up on the floor not quite remembering what happened but then feels the pain on his face and remembers it all too well. He lost to a beautiful girl. Not only had he lost a fight but to a girl nonetheless. In his eyes, there's nothing worse. But even he has to admit he lost. As he looks around for Aqua he sees no one in sight. She left him unconscious, just like that. He would've thought it was a dream if not for the immense pain on his face and let's say a little bit of interest in his heart. He probably just likes them feisty and strong hehe. Well she beat his ass, there's nothing he could do about it.
Meanwhile what Aqua had on her mind was even more important, in fact so important that she had to meet with her master right away...
