The following takes place five years since the season 1 of Atomic Puppet. Joey and his best friend Pauline are seventeen years old, and will be graduating high school in two months. Also when I talk about both AP and Joey in when they're doing something together as a super hero, I refer to them as Atomic Puppet.
Atomic Puppet: New Adventures
Chapter 1: Atomic Beginning
Just your average day in Mega City; one minute it's peaceful, then a super villain is on a rampage, bringing chaos and mayhem to everything/everyone in sight. Today's villain was Professor Tite-Gripp, (the guy with gigantic, robotic arms, and a creepy skull mask), who was tearing apart the city.
Professor Tite-Gripp: "Citizens of Mega City. Prepare for your destruction!'
'Not on our watch you robotic freak," said AP as he and Joey, (disguised as Atomic Puppet: the city's greatest hero for over five years now), flew straight towards Tite-Gripp's gut, knocking him off his feet.
"Atomic Puppet," said Professor Tite-Gripp as he got back on his feet. "I've been waiting for a rematch since you locked me up two years ago. Though this time, however, I've planned something special."
As he said this, two missiles fired out of his hands.
"Missiles," said a confused Joey as he and AP flew upwards to avoid them. Unfortunately the missiles were heat sinking as they followed Atomic Puppet.
Joey: "Where did he get heat sinking missiles?"
AP: "No time to wonder kid. We need take those things out. And I know just how to do it. You thinking what I'm thinking?"
Joey: "You know it."
Atomic Puppet: "Atomic Charge!"
Atomic Puppet turned right around, speeding towards the missiles at full speed. Their fists tightening up as they hit the missiles, creating a huge explosion.
"BOOM!"
"Yes!" said Tite-Gripp in excitement as the explosion went off. "Atomic Puppet is...'
'Think again Grippy," interrupted AP as Atomic Puppet flew out of the smoke caused by the explosion. "Now it's time to kick your butt."
Atomic Puppet then charged straight towards Professor Tite-Gripp, ramming him right in the guts, slamming his head against the nearest pole, and ending it off with a major kick to both his groins and butt; causing the villain to fall onto the ground unconscious.
"Victory Pose," said AP as the two heroes did their classic victory pose. Suddenly Joey's watch started beeping. Looking at it, Joey then screamed in alarm, "OH MY, GOSH. I'M GOING TO BE LATE," before flying off.
AP: "Man what's the rush kid?"
Joey: "I promised Pauline I'd meet her at her Uncle's comic book store right before we went to Ball Gus's party.
Ball Gus is Mega City High's star athlete, and also one of the most popular guys in school. Gus is a cool, sports/party loving guy who grades are only high when it has something to do with either topics. Unlike most of the popular teens Gus is not a bully, who instead treats everyone equally.
AP: "Why are you even going to this party? You aren't friends with the guy?"
Joey: "Uh because it's going to be the biggest party in high school history, plus everybody's invited."
AP: "Including you and your girlfriend Pauline."
Hearing this made Joey blush a little. Pauline had been Joey's best friend since they were three years old. She's also one of the only few individuals who knew of his secret identity. Over the years he'd developed a crushed on her that'd have eventually evolved into love. However, Joey had decided it'd be best to keep it secret, to prevent any harm from happening to her because of him being a super hero. Though that hadn't stopped Joey from wishing for a chance to be with her.
Joey: "AP we've been over this. Pauline and I are just friends."
AP: "I know. And to be honest I've never really liked her. She's always been annoyingly rude to me."
"You're the one who starts it," said Pauline as they'd just arrived at Comics Man, (Name Pauline's Uncles comic book store).
Pauline: "Now unless you guys want the whole world to know your secret, you might want to change back. I recommend doing it in the dumpster behind the store."
"Good call. Be right back Paula," (Joey's nickname for Pauline), said Joey; right before heading to the dumpster in order to change back into his normal self. Leaving his best friend where she stood while also blushing at his last comment.
Unbeknownst to Joey, Pauline had fallen in love with the young hero six years ago. However, out of fear that becoming a couple may cause Mookie, (Atomic Puppets arch nemesis), to use her to hurt, or even destroy Joey, Pauline had decided to keep her feelings a secret.
"Hey Pauline, you ready," said Joey, who'd suddenly just reappeared.
Pauline: "Uh, yes. Yes let's go."
With that the two teens, (plus puppet in pocket), were off to what would be known as the party that changed their lives forever; while unknowingly holding each other's hands.
