'Stupid school...stupid clothes...stupid house...stupid rules…'
"Mr. Mitchelson you and the Jojo brothers were late to school "
'Stupid school faculty…'
"We are very sorry, it will not happen again"
'Stupid city monitors…'
"I trust that it will not happen again. Now you five get to class. Oh, and don't forge-"
'Stupid pills…'
He was cut off as the five boys left the room and went on to class. Who were these five? Brick, Boomer, Butch and Blaise Jojo, along with Mitch Mitchelson. They seemed to stand out from everyone else. No one knew why. No one, but the boys themselves. The reason was everywhere. The streets, the school, public transportation, even their own homes. As the boys sat down in class, the teacher pulled up the daily Mousekat episode. Today's was the weekly reminder of the stupid stupid pills. Better Living Industries claimed to have a pill for every thought and every insecurity that every citizen in Battery City had. They also suck the emotions out of everyone, and everyone had to take them. The boys easily dodged this by taking out one pill a day, hiding it in their mouths, and flushing them down the toilets. How no ever suspected them, they did not know. They did, however, know that there are camera's almost everywhere in the city. It was pretty obvious that they were there, BLI didn't try to hide them. The hard part of it all was trying to find a place without camera's. Even if you could find those places, you would need to have avoided the BLI director's daughter, Princess. Where the cameras could not see, she was there. And if you didn't listen to daddy's girl, you were sent to daddy. Daddy doesn't show mercy to anyone who wasn't Princess. The five boys sighed as they turned down their hallway and towards their first class.
The day went by slower than usual. It was the same boring routine as any other day was. The only difference in every day is the lesson plan, the meals, the daily episodes and the makeup on Princess. The boys poked at their food and sighed. They were sick of the same old routine. They wanted action, adventure, and danger. Except Boomer, he was the only one man enough to admit that he prefered to love and have that person love him back. "Eh," he thought, "Adventure would be fun too, I guess."
It was on their way home when they saw it. Posters, billboards, magazines, newspapers and even on the news. Four people wanted, dead or alive. The fifth person was stated to be alive at all costs. These people were different, they were colorful. Not only that, but their names were also… different.
"Slick Sakura…?" Brick said out loud.
"Aqua Blue?" Boomer said.
"Venomous Vine?" Butch whispered, feeling a shiver reading it.
"Silver Bullet...nice name" Blaise said.
"But who is the fifth person…?" Mitch asked, causing the other four to just shrug. Wondering on who these people were. They backed away and headed home. As they turned down their street, they noticed a giant billboard. It had the picture of the previous five people. Below the pictures, it read.
WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE
THE FABULOUS KILLJOYS
"Killjoys...huh" Brick simply stated. "Nice ring to it" Butch claimed, causing Mitch and Blaise to nod in agreement. "I wonder...how is it being free…?" Boomer whispered, a plan forming in his head. A stupid, dangerous and deadly plan that just might work.
