Fiery Heart

I expected Rocky to retaliate more; I thought I had managed to irk him enough to force him to use his full power.  I don't know what happened but he regained some part of his consciousness mid-way. That consciousness held him back, allowing me to end him conveniently.

…that was supposed to be the story; however, the story didn't just end there.

"Keuh…this motherfucker…, he tricked me!"

Gritting my teeth as I hold back the excruciating heat that is eating away my soul, I look around, only to find my surroundings colored in fiery red. The fire is not roasting me; my clothes and skin are still fine but something is traveling into my body through my veins.

As I look down at my hands, I am greeted by my shining veins. They are shining as bright as Rocky's veins, making me wonder if lava is being circulated in my body.
