Chapter 1: And then there were 4

(Disclaimer! I own nothing of the Power Pack)

Ahh, the city of Oxford, peaceful and just.

That is…. Until an army of aliens threatens to destroy all of life as we know it.

They are known as snarks. They're a nasty bunch of reptilian creatures who want nothing but domination.

Their ruler, Emperor Bhadsha found the Earth as his new home to take for himself.

Who could possibly hope to stop them.

The Power Pack.

The guy in the blue, that's me. I'm Jack, also known as Mass Master.

The two on my right are Alex (Zero G) and Julie (Lightspeed).

The one on my left is Katie (Energizer).

We were given powers from a horse like creature and….

Hold on, I'm getting ahead of myself here. Let's start from the beginning.

So we were all moving into Oxford City.

"Are we there yet?" asked Katie.

"Not yet sweetheart," said my dad.

(To the 4th wall) That's my dad, James Power, a well known inventor. Alex, my brother thinks he'll be as great as him one day, but he has a habit of making a clutz of himself.

"You know I can hear you," said Alex.

"I wasn't alking to you," I said, "I was talking to him."

"We're here!" said Julie.

"Ugh, finally," I said getting out of the car.

I was helping to bring in stuff to our rooms.

I took some of my posters and put them all around the room.

"And now, the main attraction," I said.

I placed my photo of the Avengers; Captain America, War Machine, Vision, Black Widow, Falcon, and Scarlet Witch.

"Finito," I said.

(To the 4th wall) As you all expect, I'm your average 10 year old boy who somehow can't figure out his own life yet. My dad got offered something big to invent things in Oxford. Its also a chance to finally become somebody… Well at least that's what my mom said.

"Jack, make sure there's no clothes on the floor," said my mom.

"Ok," I said.

Later we were all having dinner.

"So you got everything ready for school tomorrow?" asked Dad, "Binders and folders?"

"Check," said Alex.

"Pencils?" Asked Dad.

"Check," said Julie.

"Clothes?" asked Dad.

"Yep," I said.

"Fresh pair of underpants?" asked Dad.

"Dad!" we all said.

"Did you watch the news?" asked Julie, "The Avengers did it again. They stopped this giant robot called Ultimo!"

She was busy looking at the TV.

"After that mess in Slakovia, it's a miracle they're still worshiped as heroes," said Mom.

(To the 4th wall) I still can't believe that Quicksilver is dead. He was a living legend. And I looked up to him as my idol!

I was getting ready for bed and my first day of school.

(To the 4th wall) My dad hopes to one day become a great inventor and build something that'll benefit the world. One day he will. Somehow, someway, (Yawns) someday….

The Next Day

"Last one to school is a rotten egg!" said Kate as she ran out of the house.

"Yeah well the first one there eats it!" I said chasing after her.

"Don't kill each other before I get there," said Alex, "I can't afford another brother and sister."

"Make sure you keep your brother and sisters out of harm's way," said Dad.

"Got it dad," responded Alex with a smile, "C',mon Julie."

Julie was busy on her phone.

"Julie?" asked Alex, "Julie? JULIE!"

She snapped back to reality.

"Sorry," she said.

I was racing Katie to the school.

"Come on Katie I'm not as fast as i…" I said.

I bumped into two people.

"Can I help you gentlemen?" I asked.

"Lunch Money," said one of them, "Now."

(To the 4th wall) Let's see how this plays off after a moment from our sponsor….
