AUTHOR'S NOTE: I got the idea for this one from an episode of the Powerpuff Girls called "Members Only." Anyway, as always, the Impossibles belong to Hanna-Barbera. Anyone else you encounter is my own original character.
Our story opens with the singing Impossibles playing a concert at the Kent Clarke Theater in Central City. The audience was filled with screaming teenage girls. Since the Imposibles were there for one night only, tickets had sold out rather quickly.
"Those Impossibles really pack 'em in, don't they?" the man at the ticket booth said.
"You said it," another man said. "The cash register can barely hold all the dough from ticket sales!"
"I'll give you a hand with the cash," a man wearing a black and white striped shirt, black pants, and black mask said, holding a gun to the two men in the ticket booth. "Gimme all the cash!"
"Yes sir!" the men said, and they began filling up a bag with the money. Once it was full, the robber ran off, laughing. Immediately, the two men sounded the alarm. The Impossibles had just finished with their set when the alarm began ringing.
"Hey, man, dig that!" Fluey shouted. "Siren city!"
"Looks like we're needed," Coiley said.
In a flash and swirl of psychedelic colors, the singing Impossibles changed to the superhero Impossibles, ready for action.
"Rally ho!" they shouted, and dashed after the thief in the Impossi-Mobile.
Of course, the thief heard that all too familiar battle cry, and groaned.
"Oh geez-o-Pete!" he shouted. "Them darn Impossibles!"
"Better surrender, you thief!" Coiley shouted. "You don't stand a chance against us!"
"Oh yeah?" the thief shouted, pulling out a gun. "Take this!"
"Rally ho!" Multi shouted, as the crook began firing. Multi duplicated and allowed his copies to take the bullets, until the gun ran out of them completely.
"Aw crud," he groaned.
"Rally ho!" Coiley shouted, stretching his arm out and grabbing the loot.
"Rally ho-ho!" Fluey shouted, converting into a small tidal wave and washing the villain into the wall.
"I'm outta here!" the thief yelled, coming to his senses quickly, and making a break for it. Multi turned to his pet puppy, Skittles.
"Sic him, girl!" he shouted.
Skittles barked three times, back flipped, and changed into her super identity, Impossi-Pup (the world's cewtest superhero). She revved up, and charged, taking off as a streak of lightning. She quickly caught up with the crook. The crook didn't even notice, until he felt something bite down on his rear end, and hard!
"EEEYOOOWWW!" he yelled, skidding to a halt.
"Good girl, Impossi-Pup!" Multi shouted as the boys drove up to the scene in the Impossi-Mobile.
"That's our little crime biter!" Fluey said with a laugh.
"Darn mutt," the crook grumbled, as the Impossibles escorted him to the police station.
The boys then went back to their hotel to veg for awhile. It had been a long night. What with playing a sold out concert, stopping an attempted robbery, they were exhausted. Fluey immediately flopped down on the bed in his room, and turned on the TV.
"This is the Cable Broadcasting News Channel," an off screen voice said. "Stay tuned for a very special News Around the World report."
"Snore," Fluey groaned, and was about to change the channel, but decided to leave it on just to see what this was all about.
"This is Hink Bruntley for News Around the World," an anchorman said. "We're reporting live from Mount Stiffnek, the world's tallest mountain reporting the annual meeting of the Superhero Association of the World. We'll be back with full coverage after these important messages from our sponsors."
Immediately, Fluey jumped up, and raced out of the room. He banged on the door of the room next to his.
"Coiley!" he shouted. "Get Multi and get into my room!"
"What's the matter?" Coiley asked, opening the door. Multi heard the commotion as well, and he and Skittles came out of their room to investigate.
"Nothing's the matter!" Fluey shouted, excitedly. "CBNC is showing coverage of the annual Superhero Association of the World meeting right this second!"
That was all it took. Immediately, Fluey ran back to his room, and Coiley, Multi, and Skittles followed. They weren't going to miss this for anything! Since acquiring super powers from a high school chemistry class experiment gone awry, the boys begun idolizing superheroes. They knew, once a year, the Superhero Association of the World (SHAW for short) met on Mount Stiffnek.
"This is Hink Bruntley, live at Mount Stiffnek," Hink Bruntley said once the commercial break was over. "Reporting on the annual meeting of the Superhero Association of the World. As you can see, the members of the association are arriving. First on the list of attendees, the amazing arachnid, Spider Monkey."
An image of Spider Monkey appeared on the screen. He was standing against a black background with a red spiderweb on it. He had black hair, and wore a red bodysuit that featured a black spiderweb on a yellow background on his chest, black gloves, black boots, a red mask, and a black belt with a red hexagon shaped buckle. He stood with one hand on his hip, and the other holding a red and black gun, able to shoot spiderwebs.
"Next up," Hink went on, "that mechanical marvel, the human Swiss Army knife, Techno Geek."
Techno Geek's image appeared on the TV screen then, posed against a black background with a blue maze-like pattern on it. He had brown hair, and sported a turquoise jumpsuit and boots, and a pair of safety goggles. He wore a hexagon shaped computer on his chest which was attached to a jet pack backpack. He also sported a utility belt, containing all sorts of gadgets, and a wristwatch that acted as a super computer.
"Thirdly, visitor from another planet, the glamor gal of good," Hink said, "the vixen of victory, Stardust!"
Stardust, posing against a dark pink, sparkly background, had long blond hair, and wore a hot pink jumpsuit with a holographic pink and silver triangle on her chest, hot pink high-heeled ankle boots, a hot pink headband with a holographic silver and pink triangle in the center, a holographic pink belt with a holographic silver triangle shaped buckle, holographic pink shin-guards, and hot pink arm bands that were attached to a hot pink cape with holographic pink and silver lining. She carried a hot pink wand with a diamond in the center. She was posed with her arms stretched up above her head, as if she were about ready to take off (which showed off her cape's lining nicely).
"Moving along, comes the siren of stealth," Hink continued. "The crime busting queen, the Purple Pussycat."
The Purple Pussycat appeared on the TV screen, posed against a smoky purple and black background. She had brown hair in a ponytail, and wore a purple body suit, purple gloves, purple mask, and purple cat ears. She also had a dark purple belt with a buckle shaped like a cat head, a short, dark purple cape, and dark purple calf-length go-go boots.
"Next up, the strongest man in the world," Hink said. "None other than Captain Muscle!"
Captain Muscle was a huge man with a large blond pompadour. He wore a white body suit, with a green oval on his chest with a white silhouette of a flexed bicep, green gloves, green boots, a green belt, and a green cape. He was posed against a black background with a green starburst on it.
"Our next hero is known for combing out the dastardly denizens of the deep," Hink continued. "Able to control the tides, none other than Mer Man!"
Mer Man was posed against a background that looked like an ocean wave. His costume was similar to that of Aquaman, only it was blue and gold, and there were fins on the boots and the gloves, and he had a hood on his costume that had fins where his ears would have been. He also wore scuba goggles.
"Next up," Hink said. "That super buzzed superheroine, Honeybee."
Honeybee's image appeared on the screen then. She was posed against honeycomb pattern background. She had honey blond hair in a ponytail, wore a yellow and black striped leotard with yellow sleeves, black tights, yellow calf-length go-go boots, and yellow wristbands. She also had iridescent wings on her back.
"Arriving now is the fastest super hero in the world," Hink said. "None other than Speed Demon!"
Speed Demon shot into a pose, as if he were still running. He wore a silver bodysuit with a gold lightning bolt on the chest, and gold wings on his boots. His hair was black with a gold lightning bolt in it (sort of like the character Freakazoid).
"And last, but certainly not least," Hink finished up, "the all around all American, the most patriotic patron in the world, the leader, and founder of the Superhero Association of the World, none other than . . . . . Old! Glory!"
Old Glory posed in front of a large American flag, waving in the breeze. His costume was a white body suit, a red belt with a blue star shaped buckle, blue boots with white stars on them, a red and white striped cape, and a blue hood covered with white stars.
"Greetings, my fellow Americans!" he shouted. "Thank you all for coming to record this auspicious occasion for posterity. Now it is time to get the meeting underway!"
And with that, Old Glory closed the door to the meeting hall.
"And there you have it," Hink said. "This is Hink Bruntley reporting live from Mount Stiffnek, for CCBC's live coverage of the annual Superhero Association of the World Meeting. Thank you, and goodnight."
"This portion of CCBC was brought to you by Turtle Wax," an off screen voice said as an image of a bottle of Turtle Wax appeared on the screen. With that, Fluey turned off the TV.
"Well, it's the same as it was last year," he said. "I'm dying to know what goes on in there."
"They probably talk about world crises and compare crime busting techniques," Multi said.
"Wouldn't it be great if we were invited to one of those meetings?" Coiley asked. "Us with the biggest superheroes of all times?"
"Yeah, man!" Fluey shouted.
"Maybe someday we'll be good enough to be invited to one of those meetings," Multi said.
"What do you mean someday?" Fluey asked. "We're good enough heroes to attend any superhero meeting."
"You know, Fluey, you're right," Coiley said. "I say we go to Mount Stiffnek right now and join the ranks."
"Right!" Multi and Fluey shouted, and the boys, along with Skittles, raced out to the Impossi-Mobile, converted it to Impossi-Jet (and converted themselves into their super alter egos in the process), and blasted off for Mount Stiffnek.
"Rally ho!" they cried out.
