George continued to roar in pain but then abruptly stopped, looked at the man, winked and said. "Only jokin'" George's smile and the rest of his body turned to flames. The flames separated into two, releasing him from the stone ape's grip. They then form back into one man sized inferno just a short ways away from the stone ape. George then returns from the flames in his fighting position. "Stone man, nice to meet you. I'm the fire man." George shouted at the man in a mocking voice. The ape suddenly transformed his entire body into a stone version of himself and stomped towards George. Closer and closer, George was trying to time it perfectly, with just enough heat and just enough pressure. As the ape threw his left stone arm at George's right side, he blocked it with a wince and then locked the ape's arm into his side with his own arm. He did the same with the ape's right arm but the wince showed even more on his face that time because of his ribs. George looked up at the Ape who was fruitlessly struggling against his tight grip. "This is the part where I make a pun about fire, do me a favour..." George jumps until both of their heads are level and he is looking right at him. "...think of one for me."
The ape gave George a puzzled look and then George slammed his fiery forehead into the ape's, keeping it there as the flames and the cracks spread throughout his body. Once George noticed the ape returning to his human form because of the cracks, he let go and jumped away falling, landing on his back with a very light head.
