Liam smirked subtly. "Interesting, so I need a surprise attack". He activated his stealth device, seamlessly vanishing from sight.
The man with fiery abilities, whom Liam had mentally named 'Blaze', widened his eyes in alarm. "He's a stealth user?" he hissed, beads of cold sweat forming on his brow. "Lara, be on guard!"

Blaze, realizing they were at a potential disadvantage, slammed his fiery fist onto the ground. A roaring wall of flames erupted in a circular barrier around them, turning the immediate surroundings into an inferno.
But as seconds ticked by, something strange happened. The flames, instead of maintaining their intensity, began to sputter and weaken. Blaze's eyes reflected his growing horror. "What's happening to my fire?!"
