The Phoenix and Mr.Freeze looked down at the forest and the villages. It was clear they were being shot at. They just didn’t see how they were shooting from about four different directions. “Don’t worry, Freeze, we’ll mak--AHHHHH!!” the Phoenix screamed in agony. By some amazing stroke of luck, a Beam Gun had made it’s way toward him just as a misfired bullet went in front of it, and the Beam Gun had knocked the bullet straight into the heart of the Phoenix. The Phoenix and Mr.Freeze plummeted to the ground.

Minion stared at the falling body. He saw the Phoenix and the Jell separate in the air, the Jell fall with a sickening crack, and the Phoenix die in the air. It was over. Scorpio cheered. Everybody looked stunned. It was over. The Jells had won the war.

Otto looked out the window and saw Burner die. He smiled. I bet everyone’s thinking it’s over. Far from it. The evil Automaton took out a bottle of green liquid--and he poured it all over the dead troops. Then he sat back and watched with glee. Every monster that was dead now wasn’t. In fact, the only thing they could do was obey him, and that would be the end of the ‘good’ guys. We’ll see...we’ll see.

Two Weeks Later...
Minion stepped up to the podium. The audience and the seven billion people that were watching on T.V. stood up and gave him the applause he deserved. He responded with a thank you and the usual “I’d like to thank my wife for being there for me, also I want to thank my girlfriend for being there for me.” Scratch that. What he really said was “I’d like to thank God, because without Him we wouldn’t be here and we wouldn’t have made it. I am also going to thank my friends for being there.” The president of FIMBA smiled. “Thank you, Minion. And now, the next person who will recieve the Medal of Honor--Baxter!” Baxter hastily jumped up on the stage, pushed pass the president, and came to the mic. “WehavetofindGengen. I know what he’s going to do!” A murmer went through the crowd. Then a Kato jumped out of the crowd and took something from inside Baxter. A green glowing orb. Baxter gasped, then crumpled and fell off the stage. The Kato jumped out the window to the waiting helicopter. Baxter’s special orb--the orb that Jells have inside-- was missing and the body was useless without it. The orb contained Baxter--this was just his body. Minion stared. ”No.” A piece of paper floated down to the FIMBA president. It said: “Baxter is MY friend...not yours. Don’t stick your ugly nose where it don’t belong!”
This was more of a plot builder than anything else.

I know it's short, but hey, everybody's gotta have a plot builder, right?

Yup yup. I think me and BR had at least one in our stories. Still sad that Burner is dead so quickly.

Who says hes officialy dead? Its really not a shame,even if I decided to really kill him (and I just might leave him dead). If you liked Burner, you'll LOVE Flame, though. Just hold on and hope. And it would be a never ending story if Burner lived forever...I like to change things around.

Nothing wrong with a plot builder, or two, or three! If the story calls for some setting up, do so. I do think this chapter moved too quickly though.
