Carlos45 again with an awesome project! Since I've been getting hooked on Batman, I decided that Splendid needs his own Robin, so I made him one. I was suppose to make this after My Town, but I couldn't wait any longer. R&R and don't flame!
Splendid couldn't believe his eyes, he read the note over and over again to see if it's actually a prank, but it was a real thing.
Dear Splendid,
There has been a new law passed to all hero's in the world, if you do not follow it then you'll have to be relocated and restart your hero training. All hero's must require a sidekick to help through their missions, they must be 10-27 in order to become sidekicks. Once they are older than 27 , he/she can be their own hero with their own sidekick and work in the same town you live in or move to another town and he/she can restart a new name with his/her sidekick. Some sidekicks can have powers, some certain hero's must have a sidekick with no powers and must be trained to fight for good... PS, we think you need a sidekick because you end up killing your civilians while saving them, so get a sidekick by the end of the month
Signed, The Justice League
"Darn it!" Splendid yelled as he crippled the note and threw it out the window, the crippled note flew faster than a bullet and periced into Lumpy's skull who was working as a crossguard nearby. It will be nearly impossible for Splendid to get a sidekick with no powers due to half of the town's population hating him, he still doesn't know why though. He would have called the SSSSSuper Squad for this situation if they were still formed, they were a 'great' group when they were all 13 but he was now 23 and he hasn't heard of them ever since they disbanded. Splendid looked out his hole in the windown (ignoring the dead Lumpy and screaming animals) and thought deeply to himself. 'Where can I find a sidekick?'
-Meanwhile-
"What do you mean I can't get the job?" Zer0 the bear asked. He is trying to get a job since his sister and cousin threw him out the house and won't let him back in until he gets one. He is recently in a interview to get a job as a banker, but of course you can see he isn't getting the job. Instead of his regular clothes and hat he wears everyday, he was forced to wear a white button up shirt with a blue tie, a black sports coat, black bussiness pants, and black fancy shoes.
"Sorry Luis, but you are a bit too lazy to work here. If you come back more focused and less lazy then we'll talk," Toothy said while wearing a white dress shirt, a red tie, and a grey sports coat,
"Too lazy? Too lazy! You know I'm not lazy all the time you smartass! When you or someone else need a bit of help, I get up my ass and help you. This is fucked up, so screw it!" Zer0 yelled as he grabbed a backpack from his chair and headed the door. "By the way, you know I don't like to be called by real name!" He finished as he left the building leaving the shock Toothy. Zer0 ripped his clothes to reveal his black shirt and blue jeans
"It feels awesome to get out of that monkey suit," Zer0 said with his voice filled with happiness. He opened up the backpack to reveal his prize Hooters Chicago hat and white sneakers. After changing his shoes and putting on his hat, Zer0 left the backpack, ripped clothes, and shoes behind as he walked to a random direction with his hands in his pockets.
"Jessie is really going to kill me now," Zer0 thought to himself as he continued walking. He didn't realize how far or long he was walking until he saw that he was in the middle of nowhere and it was sunset and not noon any more. The bear signed to himself and just continued walking, he was having a bad day and doesn't want to get killed by his sister again. Yep. Life's a bitch sometimes.
-Back to Splendid-
Splendid is now currently in a roof top of a tree looking out of breathe. He has been flying in different directions all day to find a sidekick, but everyone he asked didn't accept the job, even the ressurected Lumpy. Now it was night, and Splendid was now both tired and pissed.
"God Damn it! How the hell did Superman, Batman, and the Flash manage to get sidekicks?" Splendid told himself as he pulled some of his fur out. There were many reasons why Splendid couldn't get a sidekick with NO powers. 1. The sidekick will have to catch up with him while he flies faster than a jet with rocket engines, 2. The sidekick can be reconized by anyone since everyone knows each other, and 3. was that he can hurt the kid by accident while in a mission, so it's impossible to work with the Dynamic Squirrel. Before Splendid can think of more of his problems, he heard glass shatter a couple of blocks away thanks to his super hearing. Splendid flew to the sound and got to it in around 3 seconds, Splendid saw that it was those raccoons Lifty and Shifty again putting money inside a van while doing their trademark snickers.
"What are you two criminals doing?" Splendid said as he landed near the two. Lifty and Shifty stopped at what they were doing, they both started snickering again after a one minute awkward silence.
"What does it look like Superman wannabe? We're robbing a closed bank," Shifty said as he and his twin continued to stuff money in their van as if Splendid wasn't there, this angered the flying blue squirrel.
"Then stop! Or else I will have to use brutal force on you both!" Splendid threaten as his eyes turned as he is about to shot his lasers and he hit his left palm in his right fist in a threatening gesture. The twins snickered again as Shifty pulled out a green acorn, Splendid's eyes turned normal once again and widen at the site of the green acorn. The Flying Squirrel then felt weak as he fell in one knee and his stomach felt like it was about to burst in a second.
"I love this kryptonut, don't you Slpendid?" Shifty said as he snickered again and put the glowing green acorn in front of Splendid's face, this caused him to puke all over the floor and fell due to weakness. Shifty then began to kick the helpless hero repeatedly in the stomach while Lifty continued packing money in their van.
Zer0 was still walking in random directions to clear his thoughts nearby until he heard grunts of pain.
"What the heck?" Zer0 said out loud as he rushed to the sound. It took him a good minute to find the source of the grunts and was a bit shocked to see what it was. It was Lifty stuffing money in a van while Shifty was holding an a green acorn kicking the crap out of Splendid. He didn't know if he should jump in the scene or not until Lifty saw him.
"Hey bro! That Zer0 dude is watching us!" Lifty yelled to his twin as Zer0 stood there caught red handed.
"Kick...His...Ass...Then!" Shifty yelled back as he still kicked the squirrel on the floor. Lifty nodded and snicker at their intruder. The raccoon aproch the bear while doing the same threaten gesture Splendid gave him and his twin a while back. Zer0 didn't know what to do in this situation, but he manage to dodge a quick punch from Lifty. However, Lifty got Zer0 with a jab across the jaw, this caused the bear to take a couple of steps back.
"What's the matter? Raccoon got your tongue," Lifty said as he snickered at his own joke. Zer0 started to glare at him and wipe some blood away from edge of his lip.
"Ok...Payback time" Zer0 said as he delievered punches of his own. Lifty was shocked and manage to block some of the bear's punches, Zer0 even dodged the rest of the punches Lifty try to throw. Zer0 then poke Lifty in the left eye and kneed the raccoon right in the balls.
"C-cheater!" Lifty gasped in pain as Zer0 shoved him the ground. The red bear put his foot in Lifty's chest in a cocky way.
"This isn't cheating, it's called dirty street fighting," Zer0 said proudly while tilting his hat a bit. Back in Chicago, Shady (Zer0's second personalitly) was a master in street fighting and competed in many street fights. Since Shady did this in Zer0's body, Zer0 also knows how fight dirty.
"What the hell!" Zer0 heard as he looked at Shifty running at him with the kryptonut as if he was going to use it as a weapon. Zer0 was fast enough to dodge to attack, grabbed Shifty by the neck, and threw him in a random direction. Zer0 then grabbed the kryptonut and threw it in Shifty's face as he got up, knocking the raccoon to a coma. The exhausted Zer0 look at the unconscious raccoons for a second before heading to Splendid's direction.
Splendid manage to get to his hands and knees while Shfity left to help Lifty. He wiped the blood and his left over lunch from his lips, he then saw a hand to help him up. He looked up to see Zer0 waiting for the squirrel to take the hand or get up on his own, Splendid took the bear's hand from being too weak to get up for a moment as the 16 year old help him to his feet.
"You alright?" Zer0 asked as Splendid hold his stomach in pain.
"Yeah, it's just a stomach flu that's all," Splendid manage to answer as he coughed a bit. Of course Splendid was lying, he felt like shit. He hasn't felt this much pain since the last time Lifty and Shifty used kryptonut him, and that's a memory he'll never forget. "How did you manage to beat the two?"
"Oh, I know dirty street fighting thanks to a certain asshole," Zer0 answered showing a lot of hate when he said asshole. "I may be slow but I got some reflectes,"
Splendid's mind then clicked as he heard Zer0 knowing how to fight. Surely Zer0 would...no, he couldn't...but could he? Sure the Justice League will be scratching their heads and ask why he got a street fighter who plays dirty to be his sidekick? Easy, he was desprate.
"Hey Zer0, can I tell you something?" Splendid said looking serious and standing straight even though he's still in pain.
"Sure, what is it?" Zer0 asked
"You see...The Justice League of America...The group of hero's who pass laws for other hero's...Has passed a law that every hero's need a sidekick by the end of the month...Some need sidekicks with no powers and I'm one of them. And by seeing you can kick ass, I was wondering if you'll be intrested?" Splendid said while scratching the back of his head. Of course that was the hard part, explaining to Zer0 on why he needs a sidekick. He looked at Zer0 and can see the confusion on the bears face already, but he can also see that he gets it.
"What happens if you don't get a sidekick in time?" Zer0 asked a bit more instrested.
"Well, I will have to move to a new city with a new name and restart my hero training. I was the laziest memebers in the class and the first time I actually studied was only for the final exam to be a hero. If I go back, then I'll be back in hell and I don't want to accidently kill someone outside...where people stay dead. So please be my sidekick!" Splendid begged, he even stood on his knees.
By hearing the hero's story, Zer0 now knows why the hero sucks at being a hero, he now knows why Splendid needs a sidekick, and now he knows why he doesn't want to leave Happy Tree Town. Sure the death rate will go lower if he leaves, but Splendid is kind of cool when you get to know him. Plus being a sidekick sounds pretty badass if you think about. Hell, he might even fix the hero a bit to make him more heroic, less dangerous, and more focused.
"Sure, I'll be your sidekick," Zer0 said as the hero got him in a powerful bear hug.
"Thank Zer0! I owe you one," Splendid said as he squeezed the bear tighter as he crushed the bear's ribs. Splendid then stop hugging the bear and was glad he didn't killed him. He put Zer0 in his back like a piggy back ride and flew back to his headquaters. Zer0 had to hold on as tight as he could to avoid falling to his death as they were flying 80 feet off the ground in Superman speed, it also wasn't helping that his skin could be ripped off his face like Splendid did to Giggle a couple of years back. Splendid finally landed at his house and let the bear off his back, Zer0 was lucky that his hat didn't fall off as he was pale and shakey after getting off the squirrel.
"You get used to it after a while, I remember my first time flying and my whole face got ripped off though to the pressure. Good times," Splendid said as he unlocked the door and both entered the room. Splendid lead Zer0 to his home since Zer0 looks like he's been in an all you can smoke weed house. Splendid went to the kitchen and moved his oven to reveal a large deep hole. Splendid grabbed Zer0 and flew inside the deep hole before landing in the floor, Splendid then turned on the lights and Zer0 was so amazed on what he saw that he forgot that his flesh was almost teared off his body. They wore in a large white room with a super computer right in the middle, the room also had training equipment, costumes of the former members SSSSSuper Squad, weapons, random technology equipment, vehicles, and other stuff that will make Sniffles and Toothy jealous of him for seeing and knowing the place.
"Where am I?" Zer0 asked with awe in his voice.
"This...Is Super Lair!" Splendid answered as his voice echoed epicly. "And this is your costume!"
Zer0 turned around to see his awesome costume...problem was, it wasn't awesome as he thought it was. It was a simple black mask like Splendid wears, nothing else.
"Great right? I'm thinking about calling you the Spoiler! Great name right?"
"Uh...Splendid,"
"It's a great fit! You and your street fighting will make a great combination for the name!"
"Splendid,"
"Splendid and Spoiler...Doesn't fit that well when you say it...I know! How about we call you..."
"Splendid!" Zer0 yelled out getting the squirrel's attention. "Listen, I know some of you guys are comfortable running naked, but I don't. Plus can I come up with my own hero name and costume?"
"Sure, you didn't had to yell you know," Splendid said as he threw the mask like a used rag. "Now what do you think about calling yourself?"
Zer0 stood there thinking for a bit until he came up with a great name and costume.
"I got one, how about...
(End of the Month)
It's been 5 weeks since Zer0 agreed to be Splendid's sidekick, now it was time for the Justice League to review Zer0 to see if he's perfect or not. Spendid's computer screen turned on and it reaveled the Dark Knight himself, Batman.
"Hello Splendid, it's the end of the month and I have to review your sidekick...if you have one," Batman said as Splendid nodded at the Cape Crusader
"Ok...But before I do, how did you ended up reviewing sidekicks Batman?" Splendid asked holding his laughter a bit. He then saw Batman did an annoyed sign.
"...I lost a bet with Wonder Women...Now hurry up and let me see your sidekick before I go down there and snap your neck!" Batman yelled avoiding the subject and going back to the reason why he's in Splendid's screen.
"Batman...I want you to meet one of the newest and greatest sidekicks that you're about to see. This kid helped me in my time of need and I rewarded him, I trained him in the art of many combat skills for the pass weeks and he is now ready. I want you to meet the Increible, the Unstoppable, the Amazing Spectacular!" Splendid said as a figure landed right next to him as if he fell from the ceiling. Zer0, or Spectacular as you want to call him now, was wearing a large a blackish brown cape that could surround his body in a Batman fashion. The cape also had a hood to cover his cover his face with a silhouette, you can still see his eyes but you can't see the pupils. He also wore a light blue T-Shirt with the Splendid logo, red sleeves, black gloves, dark blue jeans, and black and white sneakers.
"You...you actually got a sidekick? Yes! Now Superman has to wear my costume and fight crime with it for a week," Batman said proudly. "Ok, what can your sidekick do?"
"Spectacular has a black belt in Kung Fu and can do dirty street fighting, and I gave him a grappling gun to catch up with me when I'm in the air, some throwing knifes that he can't use to kill people with, stun guns, and a staff similar to the weapon your sidekick uses," explained Splendid showing off his sidekick. Spectacular said nothing as he gave an annoyed look to Splendid to just finish already. Splendid saw this and agreed. "The last thing is he won't be allowed to speak unless he's alone or I'm with him alone, he will have to use sign langaue to communicate with me and the civilians because everyone can reconize each other by just hearing someone's voice,"
"Impressive Splendid, you have done well on getting a sidekick. But the problem is...can you work with him?" asked Batman as he raise an eye brow under his mask.
"Of course," Splendid anwsered as Batman nodded and dissappered from Splendid's computer screen. Splendid was happy, not only did he got a sidekick, but he gets to stay in Happy Tree Town too. Who knew that Zer0 will be his sidekick to help even though he killed the bear a few times each week, he was also great with hero names as well. The Advantures of Splendid and Spectacular. Sounds badass when you think about it. Getting a sidekick kind of reminds him of the SSSSSuper Squad, maybe he should reform them with new heros one day.
"Are you ready to have the greatest advanture of life?" Splendid asked Spectacular as he used his laser vision to blast a hole to the ceiling that led to outside. Spectacular answered by firing his grappling gun and the wire wrapped around Splendid's tail as an automatic yes. Splendid then flew to the sky with Spectacular literally on his tail, as they went to kick some villain ass.
