Sand scattered and turned to glass all over the beach. The water by the shore boiled and rolled as a crater began to form in the soft sand under the incredible heat.
Then, somehow, the flames flared out more and more, billowing out to the sides as though something were pushing back against it from the ground. Under the smoke and steam was a rising, thick cluster of energy fists all punching away at the blast. Hundreds of thousands of these fists erupted from the ground until the fire wasn't even touching the ground anymore. A moment later, the firsts stopped altogether and a small trail of steam spiked into the air. Hiro had leaped high into the air, hurdling high over the centaur's head, chambering his fist over his head.
He hesitated, though, as his eyes quickly shifted to the town. He could flatten this monster with one solid hit, but that impact would trigger an earthquake. This place suffered enough from quakes as it was, and a quake from Hiro would probably destroy everything for miles around. While he thought about these things he was already well along his way back to earth.

As Hiro was falling to the ground, debating on whether he should give the final blow on the Centaur, the Centaur took her chance. She spun around and swung her tail, slamming it into Hiro, sending him rocketing into the city.
Not wanting to wait for Hiro to recover, the Centaur made an immediate bee-line back to the ocean. "I'll come back with some back up. See how that little bug handles both of us at once." She growled to herself before submerging under the ocean.

Hiro crashed headlong into a cross section in the road, turning it into a crater. Dust and debris rose up higher than any of the remaining buildings around them. It was hard to breathe initially until he could step out of he smoldering pullar, coughing and wheezing all the way out. It was a lot harder to tell he was naked with his body coated in a coat of rock dust from head to toe.
He turned around only to catch the beast hurrying back into the sea. "That's right!" he roared at her. "Go on and run! Don't even think about coming back!" He looked down at himself and suddenly jumped. "Oh crap! How long have I been naked!?"
Deep in the sea floor, the great bat fiddled with wiring and other devices in the ship. He noticed an object approaching and scrambled to ascertain what it was. When the ground monitor revealed it to be nothing more than the centaur returning, he let out a long, irritated groan before hitting a button on the console next to it.
The outside of the ship opened a hatch large enough to let in the centaur.

The outside of the ship opened a hatch large enough to let in the centaur.
The Centaur entered the hatch, once it closed the ship drained the water out. "That stupid microscopic little bug!" The Centaur ranted and rambled to herself as she made her way to the Bridge.
"Only to the local bugs." She said. "They don't look too advanced. Atleast, not compared to the rest of the Galaxy." She said.
"No, because we're going back up there and leveling their city, and squashing that bug that sent me back down here." The Centaur hissed. "We'll show those rotten bugs not to mess with us." She added.
Oop: I KEPT FORGETTING TO SAY THIS! I got a design for the Centaur incase you wanna see

"Just cause these bugs can talk to each other doesn't mean they can talk to the-" The Centaur said, before the ship suddenly shook after an explosion. "What was that?" The Centaur asked. She walked over to the controls the Bat was at. On one of the monitors was a view outside the ship. A few submarines were outside lobbing torpedos at the ship. "What kind of ships are those?" The Centaur questioned.
"How many are out there?" She asked. "From the looks of the ships they're pretty primitive. I bet I could take them out myself." The Centaur said.
The Centaur rolled her eyes and headed to the safe room, before the ship shook violently as a massive explosion rang out. "What was that?!" The Centaur yelped. One of the computer displays showed an image of the ship, with the back thrusters flashing red, indicating that they were taken out.
The ship shook once the Sub exploded. "So now that hey're dealt with, what now?" the centaur asked.
Oop: Sorry for this crummy post DX I was having a hard time thinking up a response.

The Centaur shoved the Bat off with a hiss, before heading to the hatch. "Follow me." She said as she opened the hatch. Water flooded in and she swam out. She waited for the Bat to get out of the ship. Once out she led him to the city. "This is the nearest land mass I know of." She said once they hit the shore line.
The Centaur chuckled. "All the weapons these things used on me didn't do anything!" She chuckled. "They aren't killing us with those." She said. "And in my defense, I think a good half of all the destroyed stuff was partly because I was walking."She added.
The Centaur huffed, with steam shooting from her dorsal vents. "Mistake my but for a mountain... Rotten smelly...." The Centaur grumbled to herself. She looked around for a good spot to hide before taking note of the huge mountain. They towered over even her. On top of that, plenty of mountains were volcanos on her planet. She made her way to the mountain range.
Hiro has spent a stressful day trying to deal with not being getting caught naked after his fight with the monster, and naturally landed in a sour mood once he returned home that night, home being the Dojo where he trained with his master, Sasuke Fogi. It was difficult blowing off steam given how strong he was, but his master showed him a different approach.
"Hiro! Come here!" barked the strict master.
Hiro practically slid on his knees to position himself in front of his master. "Hai, sensei!" he answered, obediently.
"Do you know why we focus in every day before we begin training?" asked Fogi.
Hiro lowered his shoulders. Fogi wouldn't be asking such a basic question unless Hiro had done something stupid. "To remove all distractions from our minds so that they don't bother us during training."
"That's right," said Fogi. "This is a technique not simply for training, but for any time when dark thoughts need to be banished from the mind. Your heart is heavy with darkness, so meditate until you can behave properly."
"Hai sensei," said Hiro. He sat up and closed his eyes. His favorite method for meditation was to picture a lit candle and focusing on the flame. Any thoughts that were not the image were chased away, and whenever the flame flickered for any reason, he would calm it down until it was still. This resulted in a calm, serene state for the boy.
Outside, though, the old man spotted something. It resembled a large shadow lumbering across the scenery toward the mountains. He said nothing, though. Hiro's meditation took priority. The threat would still be there when the boy was finished.

The centaur soon arrived at the mountain. She climbed up to the top of it and groaned. She could tell the mountain was a volcano, thanks to the heat she could feel. However, it was dormant and the top was sealed. She'd only be able to enter the mountain by breaking a hole, which would start an eruption.
Hiro's eyes opened, and he took in a long breath before letting it back out calmly. "Okay, I'm fine now," he said. "Forgive me, sensei."
"There is no need for forgiveness, but now a more pressing matter has arisen," said the old man. "You fought the monster that attacked earlier today. It has returned and made its way to the mountains. It passed while you were meditating."
"What!" cried Hiro. "Why didn't you tell me!?"
"Calm yourself!" ordered Fogi. "That monster is no longer close to people. Now is a better time to strike. Go now and find out exactly what this creature wants and deal with it."
"Hai, sensei!" said Hiro, about to bolt out the door.
"Remember, Hiro! Do not be the first to reach for violence, but, if you must fight, win."
Hiro gave the old man a nod. "I always fight to win."
Within a second, he was already out of the house and charging toward the mountains. At this time of night he figured he's be able to track it down from its glowing body. At least he hoped he would.

Elsewhere, far out from the Earth's atmosphere moved a massive ship. "Plasma trail ends on the third planet from the sun." Spoke one of the pilots, a slim insectoid creature. "Excellent." spoke the captain of the ship, a hulking beast seemingly made of rocks, with moss growing all over his hide. "Have Gyras head down to the planet and retrieve the fugitives, with as little damage to the local life forms as possible." Spoke the captain. "Sir, yes sir." Spoke a robot who was half the captains height, before it headed off.
Back on Earth the centaur grumbled to herself. Not only would she be unable to hide in the volcano with out setting it off, the mountain was freezing at the top. Smoke began to escape from her back as she shot a stream of fire at the surrounding area, igniting what ever plantlife was at the top of the mountain. She stopped when she saw a cloud of dust heading her way, it took her a moment to realize it was being kicked up by Hiro as he charged towards the mountain. She snarled. "Great." She groaned.

The cloud stopped about a hundred yards away from the great beast. "What do you want!?" he shouted at her. "Why are you smashing up everything and attacking towns, huh!?"
Before there was any kind of answer, the giant bat fell down from the sky, landing talons first onto the boy. The bat proceeded to tear and claw at the boy underfoot, sending up bits of stone flying into the air as slashed his claws at the boy.
"One bug taken care of," said the bat. "Now then, let's--"
Hiro suddenly shot up like a rocket, planting a punch so fast and hard against the bat's lower head that it lifted the colossal flyer over the centaur before he landed back on earth.
The young fighter landed back on the ground, his clothing torn to shreds and his breath heavy. There appeared to be no deep gashes in his body, though, and his mood suddenly turned fiery. "You want some!? Come on! I dare you!"

The Centaur scratched her head when she heard Hiro. She assumed he was trying to speak, but she didn't understand what he was saying. She was about to respond when the bat suddenly attacked. The Centaur didn't have a chance to react before the bat was suddenly launched into the air. She could help but burst out into laughter. Getting beat up by Hiro herself wasn't particularly amusing, but watching someone else get beat up was hilarious. "Hey! Move out of the way!" The centaur shouted at the bat as columns of light escaped the vents in her back.
In the ship, a dinosaur-liek creature was in the armory, working on some kind of chest plate. The robot walked into the room. "Gyras, the Captain as ordered that you gear up and head down to the planet. We believe the fugitives are on it." The robot said. "Understood." The dinosaur said as he finished up his armor. The dinosaur got his armor on and headed into the hangar bay. It wasn't long before he headed out, floating through some kind of levitation. Thanks to his armor, flying out in the vacuum of space, and breaking through Earth's Atmosphere wouldn't be problems at all.

Hiro began waving his arms in a long, wide loop in front of his body, bringing them together in front of himself. "I don't know where you come from!" he shouted. "But you're not welcome here!"
They were away from the town. Hiro could go all out now. It was time to show these giant pains in the neck just what they were dealing with.
Hiro dashed from his position at blinding speeds, stopping just under the centaur's elevated belly. he proceeded to thrust his arms upward, letting loose a pair of large, blue fists up at her underside with enough force to drive himself into a twenty foot deep crater in the solid stone ground.
