Chapter 12 - Chapter 12 - Humanity vs Nature 6

 In the area between Kyle's and Yumud's fights the fight between Pyro and Sneaky was occuring.

 "Are. You. Pyro. The. Concept. Of. Fire.?"

 "In the flame."

 "Good. You. Will. Be. Extinguished."

 "C'mon rocky, we both know you won't be able to beat me."

 "You. Are. Overconfident. Shall. Be. Your. Demise."

 "Pfft"

 "Something. Funny.?"

 "Look man... erm... rock... dude... let's just go with rocky for now. I know you're trying to be serious but with that mechanical voice and the stops... Its just to funny!"

 Pyro stood there in the air laughing maniacally. the expression on Sneaky was unchanged, but his eye started to glow.

 "Voice., Manner. Of. Speech. Funny.?"

 "Yeah rocky, have you been living under a rock or something? How come you never noticed your own voice. Wait a minute... can rocks even live under rocks?"

 "I. Am. Gonna. Kill. You."

 "Pfft... Sure you are rocky."

 The massive golem threw the first punch. It connected without a hitch, yet something was amiss. Pyro turned into flames and reappeared next to the ginormous arm.

 "Alright rocky, if it's a fight you it's a fight I'll give! But just warning you, you do Not want the smoke."

 Pyro conjured up his most basic attack fireball and though it was a direct hit Sneaky was not even tickled by the attack. Sneaky went for an overhead swing and yet again Pyro just turned to flames and came back on top of Sneaky's arm with a huge smirk on his face.

 "Rocky buddy, you really gotta aim at me if you want me to be the one damaged, y'know. You can't just expect to hit me like that."

 "You.! I. Have. Hit. You."

 "Just keep telling yourself that."

 Rocky threw another punch and Pyro kept on dodging and throwing fireballs. Neither concept was being affected by their opponent's attacks and this exchange was repeated over and over. 

 "This. Is. Getting. Nowhere. Fast."

 "Guess you are a bit more resistant to fire than I'd expected. And the stupid sandstorm is annoying the hell outta me."

 "Big. Mistake. Weakness. Detected. Adjusting. Sandstorm. Intensity."

 The sandstorm directly behind Sneaky started to get stronger. Soon, the entirety of the sandstorm had become far more intense.

 "Now I get it, this whole sandstorm was just you far..."

 Pyro's flames turned green as he saw the sand for what it actually was.

 "Are you kidding me?!? This is why the situation smelled bad!"

 "That. Is. Correct. Now. You. Perish."

 Sneaky threw a punch but instead of just taking it like the rest of the time, Pyro countered with a fist equally as big but made of flames. Unfortunately, flames aren't exactly known for being very solid.

 On impact, the fire punch disappeared and Pyro was nowhere to be seen.

 "Playing. Game. Again. I. See."

 Pyro, now behind Sneaky, had prepared hundreds of fireballs, all ready to be fired.

 "Barrage" 

 "Pitiful."

 The sand that was between the attacks and Sneaky formed a barrier, blocking all of the incoming attacks. The wall than went against Pyro, who just turned to flames and appeared in front of it.

 "Really rocky, will I have to be the one who tells you that just using blunt force ain't going to work?"

 "You. Are. One. To. Talk. You. Using. Same. Attacks. In. Repetition. And. Call. That. New. Attack."

 "Hey, c'mon now, we both know it was different enough."

 Silence

 "C'mon rocky, at least answer!"

 "I. Do. Not. Want. To. Dignify. That. By. Answering."

 Pyro was starting to turn blue on his very core.

 Two cannon like Structure popped out of Sneaky's back.

 "Lava. Cannon."

 The cannon like structures were a way to channel the lava into a beam targeting Pyro.

 "That's cute, but I'm the hottest one here."

 Pyro countered with a flamethrower, seemingly matching the lava. Yet, the flamethrower was getting weaker as Pyro decided to close the distance, even if it meant having to tank the lava.

 As the lava hit him, Pyro felt the first bit of damage in a while.

 "Not half bad rocky, but you'll have to do better than that to beat me."

 Pyro created a huge fire hammer and, using his momentum, he slammed the head of Sneaky who, although startled, was barely damaged.

 "That. Almost. Tickled."

 "Did it now? That means I'm doing some progress."

 "Not. Too. Much. Progress. Though."

 "Doesn't really matter as long as it is even a little better."

 Sneaky tried to grab Pyro but it was to no avail, as Pyro had already escaped and used another barrage, this time with a thousand fireballs. 

 The sand turned into four shields and blocked most fireballs, with some landing on their intended target but barely doing any damage. Pyro threw a fireball stronger than any of the previous attacks.

 Sneaky then formed a sort of cannon on his arm and out of it fired a boulder which not only absorbed the hit but went against Pyro. 

 "Rocky, you're getting better."

 Pyro smirked, before turning to flames and going further away from Sneaky.

 "Could. Say. The. Same. About. You."

 Sneaky attacked using the lava cannons and Pyro countered with both a flamethrower and four fireballs that went directly after Sneaky.

 Sneaky threw boulders at the fireballs and, after destroying them, the boulders then merged with the sand. 

 The Flames and lava seemed to be matched, but the lava overpowered the fire, but still didn't manage to harm Pyro, who'd just moved to the side.

 "Hey rocky, next time try to hit your mark."

 "My! Name! Is! Not! Rocky!"

 Sneaky then used the sand to make various weapons around Pyro, who countered the easily.

 Sneaky's purple eye then glowed as the ground itself attempted to hit Pyro, who changed his form into that of a bird to make himself harder to hit while augmenting his own mobility. 

 As he dodged, Pyro was turning blue little by little.

 The sandstorm then converged around Pyro in the form of a tornado.
