The Adventures of the Exterminator
Chapter 1
I woke up. I couldn't remember anything about my life. All I know is that I was
on a bus to the Adventures School. This is a camp for bad kids. I know this because there is a sign hanging on the ceiling of the bus. I turned to the person next to me. "Who am I? Where are we going? And who are you?" He responded, "You don't remember me. I'm your best friend. My name is Tom. You are Walter. We were sent here because we stole a car. Now we have to go to all of these museums to learn." We took a left and entered a desert. I looked around on the bus. There were five rows filled up with muscular looking children. I heard a grumble, "What was that?" I asked. Tom said, "Just thunder and lightning."
"Wait it was just a beautiful day outside."
"You must be seeing things this has been the weather the whole day."
I didn't argue with Tom, but I was sure that there were no clouds. A flash of lightning came down right in front of the bus! The driver swerved out of the way. There was a hammering sound on the top of the bus. To make that day worse the bus ran out of gas. And of course we were in the middle of nowhere. The other children started mumbling. The driver hoped out of the bus door. There was yet another lightning bolt. The bus driver stood paralyzed then burned down to the ground. All that was left was a couple of ashes. While we were talking we didn't notice a shirtless guy with blonde hair sneak down the side of a bus. A couple of minutes later our stomachs felt like we were on a roller coaster ride. I rolled down the window and looked below us. The same shirtless guy was below us the only surprising thing was that he was holding up the bus! The man pointed at me. Everything around me seem to glow then disappear I was thrown upward.
I was in some kind of town. But no one was in this town. I was about to walk the other way however something caught my eye something was glistening. I squinted my eyes to see farther. It looked like a tiny castle. I couldn't believe my eyes I saw some movement. Maybe they will know some information about who I am.
It took me almost an hour to get to the top of mountain where the castle was. When I got there I felt relieved because I could see people through the windows. I went up to the castle door and knocked. The door immediately opened into a long corridor. I slowly walked in examining everything around me. There was a knight's suit in the far right corner. A staircase appeared right next to me I jumped back in surprise. I walked up the staircase slowly, so I wouldn't be freaked out by any more appearing things. The staircase led to a door that was open it seemed like it was welcoming to me. There was a giant sitting in the throne. I walked up to the man sitting in the throne and I asked, "Where am I?"
"You are in the planet Zerg. You have been chosen."
"What do you mean chosen?"
"You will soon learn."
I woke up. I was relieved that it was just a dream. I got up out of bed and changed clothes. Then I walked out of the door…
Chapter 2
I stood paralyzed because there were thirty men surrounding me with bow and arrows pointing at me. The first man shot I ducked out of the way. I then started to trust my instincts. They all shot at me I kept dodging them. Then one scratched my face. I started to bleed. The first man shot at me again this time it was going right at my chest. At the last second I jumped. Surprisingly my body did a back flip and I kicked the guy in the chest. He flew backward; I started throwing punches at the rest. They all fell to the ground the men were knockout. I look down at my hands I didn't know I could do this. I was still on the planet Zerg. I went to find the king that I saw yesterday. I had a feeling someone was following me so I turned around. The king was right behind me immediately I asked him, "Who were those people?"
"Those were my men I. That was the test to see if you were ready."
"Ready for what?"
"What you've become."
With the snap of his fingers I began to feel a tingling sensation. After about a minute or two it stopped. My clothes changed I was wearing a long tight suit. The main color was green and I had purple straps on my chest and back. I had a face-mask covering me the king told me the color was purple to go along with my suit. The king stated, "You are now a superhero. When you get back to earth you will start fighting crimes."
"How will I get to the crime scene?"
"You can now fly with amazingly fast speed. You are also able to summon the power of fire. Just put your hands out like you’re a quarter back getting ready to throw. Fire will come into your hand. Then you can throw it just like it is a ball. If you ever need me just find a blonde guy with long hair and he will know what to do with you."
I felt like a lightning bolt hit me and I was zapped back. I landed in the middle of the desert where I was first chosen. I flew back into the big city. It felt like nothing ever before. It was just like lying on a coach and just sitting there. I felt amazing. I landed in the big city I started walking around looking for trouble when a car screeched around the corner. In the car were the guys from the camp. They didn't recognize me because they through a baseball at me.
I had a burning feeling in my ear. Then my body took over. It flew out of the city. I had no idea where I was going or what I was doing. Finally when my body stopped and fell to the ground I was in New York City. An alarm was going off in the bank right across the street from me. I thought this is my first crime then walked across the street. The bank doors were bolted shut. I took my hand and punched through the doors. I broke the doors more and I was in. There was no one in the room but I heard talking through the door across the room. I began to move really slowly and carefully I was trying not to set off any alarms. I got across the room without setting off any alarms. Then I reached for the door and an alarm went off. I waited until the men came out. I heard the men say, “Crap the police are here.”
I responded, “It is even worse than the police. Come out or I’ll come in.”
They didn’t come out so I opened the door really slowly the men turned around and looked at me. They looked back at each other and rolled over laughing.
“Who are you supposed to be the Go Green man?” One of them said.
“It is worse than that I’m the Exterminator.”
I ran at the man who casted his insult at me. He was still laughing and didn’t see me coming. I hammered him with my shoulder he went flying into the back of the wall. Blood was seeping out of his mouth. The other man took out the gun and shot it at me. What he wasn’t expecting is that I flew over to him so he missed badly. I landed on top of him and he started screaming, “Don’t hurt me it wasn’t my idea.” He finished screaming when I punched him in the face and he was knocked out. The police came running in the room. A fat policeman asked me, “Who are you? What have you done to these men?”
“My name is the Exterminator. I am the new super hero. These men tried to rob the bank.”
Before he could respond I flew out an open window. I looked back and the police man was staring at me with his mouth open. I chuckled to myself and flew away.
Chapter 3
After a couple of days of being a superhero I was so tired after I solved a lot of crimes. Such as, car stealing, and store robbery. I still didn’t have a house so I had to sleep on park benches. I was woke up constantly by the sounds of cars moving down the street. After the fifth night I woke up because there was a pain in my ear. Once again my body took over. I flew from the bench to a different city.
In a couple minutes I found myself in Las Vegas. There was an abandoned old house right in front of me. I heard a man laugh from inside the building. “Finally after all of these years that I have tried I finally have super powers!”
The house began to shake and so did the ground. Out from the building came a man that was at least a hundred feet tall. His face was grim and he only had one eye. “Is that my first victim I see?”
Luckily for me he was not looking at me a nearby policeman came by to see what was happening. The Cyclopes reached down and took the man from off the ground. He held him up for about of minute and then shrugged and ate him.
I then shouted, “You’re sick!”
He responded, “What do we have here another pedestrian?”
I shouted back, “It is worse than that.”
After I shouted that back to the Cyclopes I immediately flew up towards him. He just held out his hand and I flew strait into it. I began to fall downward. I hit the street there was a searing pain in my back. I tried to stand up however I was unable to my back was in so much pain. The Cyclopes laughed. Then picked me up. “You are coming with me.” He ran off with me in his hand and laughing to himself.
Chapter 4
I was in weird looking cell. Most of the wall was grey but there was a picture of a Cyclopes on each wall. I heard someone coming down the hall so I looked out of the jail cell bars. The Cyclopes now had a smile on his face and was holding a stack of papers. He walked over to my cell and gave me the papers, “You are all over the papers.” There were about fifty sheets of the title page on different newspapers. The Chicago Tribune title page had Exterminator Taken! I flipped the page and the Sun Times had No More Super Heroes! All of the papers had similar topics. The last one was the New York Times. The title was A World of Terror.
The Cyclopes was laughing to his self. He began to walk around my cell. “Things you should know about what you’re going to experience in this cell are that you will have a guard around your cell this whole time, you will have two meals a day breakfast and dinner. Some things you should know about me are that I can turn myself into dust and move anywhere. Also I don’t have one eye I have two. The other one is next to my big eye but it is so small that you can’t see it. The last thing you should know is that I’m called Red Eye.”
I responded, “Good to know but why are you telling me this?”
“I am just informing you.”
With that he left the room. Two guards began to watch me. I began to think does the fire that I can use burn the medal bars? If it can I can make it molten then use my strength to break out. I finally decided that I would wait a couple of hours before I break out.
After the couple hours the guards were starting to get tired. I decided now was the time. I got into the quarterback stance with my hands spread apart. My face started to get red and I started to sweat. Blood rushed up to my hands. I tried to hold back a scream but I couldn’t. My scream was so loud the guards had to cover their ears with their hands. There were two fireballs on both of my hands. I through the fireballs at the bars. Three out of the four balls hit the bars. The three balls hit the same bar. The bar collapsed. The fourth ball went through the hole that was made. I climbed out of the cell. The two guards were running toward me. I punched the guard in the face and he fell to the ground. The other one was running at my left. I stepped out of the way and he ran into the wall. I looked up the ceiling was made out of wood so I flew up to the top and punched my way through the ceiling.
Chapter 5
Once again I was sleeping on the benches. This time I was sleeping on the benches of Central Park. I woke up to hear the sound of screaming. I wondered why my ears didn’t give me the signal. I saw Red Eye standing at the top of a crane. I looked more closely and I saw that he was holding a body at the top. I gasped and flew up there. Once I got near to the top I noticed that the hostage was Tom. Red Eye was looking down and smiling at me. “You will pay for what you did to me and my guards at the jail.” He dropped Tom from his hand and jumped down at me. I dodged his huge body and went to catch Tom. I caught Tom about halfway down the crane. I looked down at Red Eye he smiled and turned into dust. I flew down to a building with a fire escape. I thought when he woke up he would go down the fire escape. There was wind or at least I thought it was. It picked up the dust from the building. The dust came flying at my face. It went into my eyes and I had to close my eyes. I felt the dust seep out.
When I fully recovered I opened my eyes. Red Eye was standing in front of me. But he was small again and had two eyes. He asked me, “Do you like my real form?”
“You are still ugly.” I responded.
He screamed and returned to his Cyclopes form. He pinned me on the ground and punched me in the face. My mask came off and went flying down. He stared at me weirdly. I asked, “Why are you looking at me like that?”
“YOU YOU are my dreaded brother that betrayed our family. You will pay. I was the younger one. You always got all of the attention. Nobody cared about me I will show you.”
Hanging from the crane was a long medal stick with two pointing ends. He picked it up. I got up halfway before something bad happened. My brother threw the medal piece at me then came running up to me. The stick went through my chest. I felt dazed. I began to tilt to one side. I fell off of the crane. I grabbed my brother with both of my hands and brought him down with me. I hit something hard. I noticed I was on a roof top. I turned around and looked down. Red Eye had landed safely. I grunted. I had a feeling that someone was up here with me. The blond hair guy was here. He nodded toward me. “You won’t die. Shoot him with fire.” He disappeared into the darkness. I got myself ready. But I already noticed that fire was in my hands. I through my hands in a wimpy way. I noticed that the fire balls missed. But what the King didn’t tell me is that they always hit the biggest thing. Red Eye was gloating about killing me. The balls hit him and he disintegrated. I began to get dizzy.
Two police officers rushed up to get me. They gasped when they noticed that I had been impaled. The police officers pulled me onto a stretcher. I was rushed to an ambulance. I fell asleep because I was in so much pain.
