The darker side of Botany

So as Ragnarok said, I commandeered us a plane and got everyone to the location evil me had specified. Incognito snuck me in, and I launched a surprise attack on the clone. He sent an army of warriors made of stone at SOLAR, and I rose into air on a Forcefield platform as a pillar of rock lifted him upwards. I flew round and round his tower, dodging the huge rock shards he kept firing at me. 'You cannot win, I know all your moves! And mine are a hundred times more powerful!'
'Yeah, pity you can't USE most of them!'
I shot lightning bolts at him, but with a sweep of his hand a wave of earth and sand formed a wall before him. Where the raw electrical energy struck, is fused the wall to dark, jagged glass. The frozen explosion tumbled to earth, and I felt vines grab me and wrap me completely in writhing plant. 'Now it ends! Your plantlife is no match for mine! Feel the breath squeezed from your body. Feel yourself die!'
The vines were squeezing the life out of me, I couldn't think, but I heard Ragnarok calling to me from below. 'Remember when we used to play Pokémon!?'
He seemed to be a bit green, and was launching sort of energy leaves at the rock monsters, which were crumbling to pieces.
'Of course, genius!' I smiled at the evil version of me. 'And now for some basic element logic. FIRE BEATS GRASS!!!'
Dragon fire exploded from me, and the vines withered and turned to dust around me. My leaves, not being energy based, had less effect against rock than a fictional universe wants us to believe (I know, SHOCKING) but a jet of water worked well. I was getting tired, the earlier fight had been going on for ages, and now I was free of the vines, I had been destroying his moves for what seemed like hours, and just shot a spray of ice at a swarm of knife like leaves, when I realized: SUPEREFFECTIVE AGAINST BOTH. 'You have my terrakinesis power, you've affected the whole world, I'm guessing you know Pangea?'
'They command me to build a new world, yes.'
'They maybe you'll remember this move. Not on the same scale of course, but good enough!'
I spread my arms wide, and snow spread, clouds rising to the ceiling of the temple, growing to fill the ceiling as flurries of white flakes flew from me, coating the plants and rocks, freezing to ice, and shattering everything.
'Yeah, I added the shatter. Quite a game finisher, isn't it?'
He shivvered 'What....have you done....my paradise.....I'm so strong, my terrakinesis is so...much...stronger...'
'But do you have my other powers? No. Do you, therefore, have any amount of power because of them? No. Do you therefore have any resistances to them as a side-effect of such powers? No, you have one power, than is ten times mine. Ten times stronger, yes, but how can you stop a leaf burning? Or a rock weathering? You can't. The same weaknesses will always be there. You lose. In my face!'
Still wondering if I'd phrased that correctly, I saw him sort of inhaling, his growing until he began to glow.
'No matter. The people of the world are beginning to wake, but by connecting to my plants across the world, I shall unleash a new wave of spores. And this time I shall make sure you get a faceful!'
He frowned as he closed his eyes, concentrating. 'Strange, a wide area in England is bare of living plants. I can feel them. They burned. I don't understand, everyone was asleep, even you only got lucky sensing it was coming because my power has the same feel as yours...'
I grinned. 'England. I'm guessing Healthbar. She must have been outside when it happened. The sunlight will have made her body burn away the effects of the spores, waking her. My guess is she's been clearing the area. Is there nothing that girl can't do? But to clarify, you're channeling your energy to the plants, correct?'
'Yes, to cause your doom!'
'Pffft, right. But whatever energy you experience and have just now, the plants get also?'
'Yes you fool, yes! My body passes the energy to them causing the world to be coated in spores once more!'
'Hmm, good to know.'
I launched a stream of fire at him. It drowned him completely, a river of flames with a struggling, screaming body inside. I fed it to him. I combine my powers all the time, and I fed this one into the clone of my terrakinesis, letting in merge, and spread, traveling with the spore command to every plant on earth. I couldn't stop myself giving a shudder, as the feeling of every spore plant on earth being consumed by flames at the same moment sent a ripple, a sort of plant scream across the world. Clone me seemed to bulge, trying to hold back the flames, but partway through a globally powerful command. I saw what was about to happen, and dropped my forcefield. I plummeted to earth, catching myself inches from the ground yelling 'EVERYBODY DOWN!' as I sent up a forcedome for protection. Evil T exploded in a ball of flame, sending a ring of fire emanating outwards from where he had been. Burning leaves and shards of rock rained down on us, but everyone leapt under the dome to safety. We rushed out of the burning jungle, and made for the plane, which I TP'ed home.

Now all I have to do is work out whether that was murder or suicide...........

  1. I can always make more... Far stronger than the one you just beat. I have enough of your DNA to last a lifetime or even two. The next one will be able to finish you. It'll turn your greatest strength into your weakness. You thought you knew it all? NOT ANY MORE...!!!
