High School; Woes and Foes

By: General Blaze

Chapter 1; More than I Bargained For

It took some time for Jack to get out of his locker, so by the time he got to class, he was extremely late. Again.

'Why can't the teacher just understand,' Jack thought, 'That the school's football 'hero' is doing this to me?'

Danny Rose, tall, dark, and handsome Danny, was the sole reason why the Robert H. High School Gladiators football team got into the playoffs. If he wasn't on the team, then the Gladiators would be dead last in the state league. This fact seemed to have gotten stuck in the redheaded quarterback, and made him believe that he could do anything. The teachers loved him. The cheerleaders gushed over him. And almost everyone wanted to be like him. Except the Outcasts, a name given to the unpopular kids in the school. And Jack Mickey Alton was unwontedly crowned the king of the dweebs.

At six foot 1 inch, Jack was the tallest member of his family and probably the smartest of them as well. Almost every little fact that was uttered in school was absorbed in his brown haired head. This made him one of the smartest kids in his year, and people often came to him for help. However, those pleas for help were usually backed up by threats of 'getting socked in the face' and whatnot. If Jack refused, then he usually was thrown into now familiar confines of his locker. Danny Rose was probably his most seen 'customer', and more often than not he forced the entire football team's homework load onto him. This gave Jack little time to do his own homework, much less get a chance to lie down and rest.

Right now the astronomy teacher was giving a rather boring lecture on the Asteroid Belt and how asteroids are the leftovers from the begging of the solar system. Jack was probably the only one paying any attention to the teacher, everyone else was off in their own little world. "Now class," the teacher said, "Remember that we have a test on Monday, so study hard and get plenty of rest. Class dismissed".

As everyone piled into the hallway, Jack heard Danny's voice behind him, along with Harold's and another football player. '3, 2…' Jack thought.

"Hey, dweeb."

'Hmm, he's getting faster. 'bout time,' Thought Jack. He turned around to face Danny, "Yes, great and fearless leader?"

Harold snarled. "You better cut off that attitude of yours, Alton. Other wise nasty things are going to happen to you."

"Oh really?" Jack said, "Last time I checked it's a free country, so I can talk to you however I want to."

Danny smirked, a sign that screamed that Jack was seconds away from the locker treatment. "We just wanted to tell you that we have practice tonight, so you will have to do our homework…"

"I'd rather eat dirt than do your own homework again," Spat Jack.

The other football player, Patrick Griffon, suddenly grabbed Jack by his hair and yanked him into his face. "You will do our homework," Patrick growled, "or you will end up eating dirt!"

"What's going on here?" a familiar voice said.

"Teacher!" Harold muttered to his friends.

Patrick growled, and let go of Jack. He looked at the boy who was massaging the area that Patrick grabbed his hair by and said, "Next time, you won't be so lucky, punk."

With that, the trio walked away, talking about finding someone else to do their homework. Jack turned around to see who saved him, and found his homeroom teacher, Mr. Evans, standing in front of him, with; Jack's heart jumped a bit, Nicole Brown next to him. "You okay, Jack?" Mr. Evans asked.

"Yeah," Jack responded, "I'm fine, thanks for stopping those knuckle heads though. I think I was seconds away from getting shoved in my locker, again."

Mr. Evans smiled at that remark, but Nicole just frowned. "Jack," she stated, "Why can't you just report those thugs? They are getting away with to much."

Jack frowned at that. "Nicole, you know that Danny has his fingers wrapped around the teachers. If I report anything they'll just blow it off."

"Now that's not entirely true," Mr. Evans said. "I'm not convinced by those guys even for one second. You can always report to me if they ever give you trouble. Now come, both of you will be late to class."

"Lord Vilgax, we lost power to turret numbers five, six, and nine!" A robot drone said, programmed panic obvious in its voice.

"Keep firing! I want their engines destroyed!"

Vilgax, an alien warlord feared across the universe. His cunning and brutal nature has resulted in the deaths of many, the conquest of planets, and the destruction on the Petrosapien home world. His military might rivaled that of the Higarran Empire, and his fleets were as strong as the Vaygr. Almost no one would dare challenge him, and the few that did meet a gruesome end. Now he was chasing a ship that held one of the most powerful weapons in the universe. He was determined to have this weapon.

And no one was going to get in-between him and the device.

"Sir, the Polaris is slowing down, it's heavily damaged. Orders?" One drone asked.

Vilgax grinned. Victory was in his grasp. "Fire the main cannon and target their engines," he ordered. "Prepare boarding parties Alpha and Zulu. I want the Omitrix in 1 unit!"

"Yes, my lord."

The Polaris, however, had over plans. Just as the main cannon on Vilgax's ship, the Bloodletter, was about to fire, the Polaris fired one last shot at Bloodletter. The green laser beam impacted the ship's bridge, nearly killing Vilgax and knocking the Bloodletter's aim off a bit just as it fired. The Phased Cannon Array hit the Polaris head on, completely destroying it and sending it's wreckage into Earth's atmosphere. An escape pod flew out from the wreckage and began its journey to the cotenant of North America. An observation camera on the Bloodletter observed the escape pod as it fell, sending its data to the ships main computer.

However, unbeknownst to the camera, or anyone on the warship, a second escape pod jettisoned from the Polaris, heading in the same direction the first one was, but instead of landing in Minnesota, this on was heading to St. Louis, Missouri, were a familiar teenager would stumble on and change his life forever.

St. Louis, Missouri

Robert H. High School

Jack was in American History, probably the most boring class in school, yet everyone seemed worked up. Jack had a hunch on why this was happening. When he entered class, all of a sudden he felt like something would happen, something that would change him forever. Right now though he was suffering an onslaught of boring information that would probably only be useful on game shows or something. As the teacher continued to drone on and on, Jack decided to risk a glance out the window, and gasped. Outside, in the sky, a giant fireball was shooting through the air. And it was heading this way. Other kids looked to see what he gasped about.

"Whoa! What's that?!"

"I don't know!"

"It's coming this way!"

"Ahh! Were going to die!!"

The teacher also saw the meteorite on a collision course with the school. "Everyone! Get out of the school, NOW!"

No one objected to him. Everyone scurried to the door, determined to get out and survive. Just as Jack was about to get out, someone shoved him back into the classroom. He looked up and saw Danny, grinning, close the door.

"NO!" Jack yelled, running to the door and banging on it. "NO! NO! NO!"

Jack knew that there was no time to get out. 'I'm going to die,' he thought sadly. 'I'm going to die and no one will give a damn…'

The unfortunate boy looked back to see the meteorite closing the distance between it and the classroom. He closed his eyes, waiting for the inevitable.

CRASH!

Jack felt a wave of heat hit him first, then he was thrown into the wall from the shock wave. As he slid back to the floor, Jack was wondering, 'Why am I not dead?'

He risked a peek and opened his right eye to see what happened, only to shot both eyes open after seeing what was in front of him. Instead of a large hole in the ground, the thing was sitting perfectly on the ground, with only a couple cracks on the floor. Also, meteorite wasn't made out of rock or ice, it was made of metal instead. It was also incredibly round and shiny, looking as if it hadn't burned up in atmosphere entry and slammed into a solid concrete wall. Jack knew he probably should just run, but something drew him to the meteor. He slowly got up and began approaching the object, taking small steps just in case.

'It can't be a bomb or a meteor,' Jack pondered. 'Otherwise I would be dead by now. Maybe it's like those aliens from War of the Worlds! Or maybe…'

Whatever Jack was thinking suddenly came to a halt when the top portion of the odd ball of metal opened up. Jack hesitated, then went to see what was in it. Inside was…a watch. The only difference that this one had to a normal one was that it was much bigger than a normal watch, and were the face would be was a small panel that was glowing white and blue.

'What's a watch doing inside this thing?' Jack thought as he stretched his arm out to grab the odd device. Just then, the watch liquefied and attached itself on his wrist.

"Ah!" Jack yelled as he wrestled with the device. "Get off! Get off me!"

However, no matter what he tried, he couldn't get the thing off him. Eventually, he gave up. He sat down on the ground, his head resting against the meteorite as he pondered over the situation he got himself into. 'Well, I now have an alien watch on my wrist that refuses to come off,' he thought. He looked at the device that was now on his wrist. 'At least it's cool looking. I wonder what it does.'

Deciding to fiddle with the thing, he took a closer look at the watch. Surrounding the circular face plate were four blue buttons. Jack, curious, pressed the top right button. Instantly the face popped up, and a silhouette of some strange creature popped up on the screen. "Cool," Jack stated. Wondering what would happen if he pressed the face back down, he press the face. Instantly, the watch flashed blue, and odd bandages popped out of the thing. More bandages began appering, wrapping his body up like a mummy. When it was over, Jack wasn't standing in the classroom. Instead, a giant alien mummy was, its eyes a dark blue, black bracers and greaves, and a mask made of bandages. When the mummy went to look in the mirror on the teachers desk and saw itself, it said one thing.

"AAAARRRRGGGHHHH!!!!"


Guess which Alien Jack turned into first. :p R&r folks.
