I decided what the heck, and post two chapters in one night. I figured I had to make up for lost time.
Downtown New York City, standing in the heart of the financial district was the building of Herat Tech. A large technologies firm earning billions per year, and a legitimate front for the powerful Puzo family. The Puzo family had their hands into many fronts and business', and half of the drug trafficking in New York. They had their hands in knock offs, protection money, blackmail, anything dirty or illegal in New York most likely had their finger prints on it one way or another. Two years ago, it was under the control of Anthony Marcus Puzo.

His kindness was great, and his wrath was unimaginable! Two years ago, he could almost be considered the Emperor of New York's crime underworld. As a result, he had become paranoid and only let those he completely trusted come anywhere near him. One of those was his most brutal hit man, and friend. He was a dangerous man that had grown up in a part of the United States that was known as the Deep South. In a part of the state of Georgia that looked as if Integration was never even created. He had to learn how to fight against members of the KKK, racist rednecks that had beat his kind for sport, and killed half of one man's family that had raped and murdered many of his family. Then murdered half the police department for treating his family's murders like they were nothing! When he was mad, he could break cinder blocks. When he was pissed off, he could shatter thick concrete! That's why he was recruited into the Puzo family, and that's when Derrick Cranston was given the name Block Buster.

Two years ago, he was sent to destroy a jewelry store. The owner had refused to pay extortion money, and so the destruction of his store was punishment. Block Buster had destroyed half the cases and was destroying the walls when a deep voice spoke to him.

"If I were you, I'd go for the silver bling bling. Gold has been done to death!" the voice said.

Block Buster turned and almost laughed at the site before him. A man, two feet shorter than him was standing in the door with a black muscle suit and a cape! A yellow strip was on his chest and on his gloves. He was wearing a black domino mask and had a smirk on his face.

"Boy, Halloween isn't for another three months! Why don't you run off and wait then to trick or treat?" Block Buster told him.

"How about you give up before I kick your ass?" the man asked him.

"I need a work out." Block Buster said as he walked toward him.

Before Block Buster knew it, he was being hammered by kicks and punches, lit with a yellow fire! He was on his back in no time, and saw a yellow blast coming straight at him before he knocked unconscious. He went to jail for six months, and was a laughing stock. He restored his reputation after two months of cracking skulls, but the embarrassment never left. He was lucky Anthony Puzo welcomed him back after the incident, but Block Buster wanted revenge! He found him one more time, and again had his own ass handed back to him by the masked man! It was then that he realized that he needed power to get revenge, and knew what to do. A year and two months ago, Block Buster was assigned to guard Anthony Puzo while he slept. It was another effect that stemmed from part of his paranoia. Block Buster waited until the old man was asleep, and crushed his skull with his bare hands! With Puzo gone, and no will to be found, Block Buster was able to take control. Ever since then, he had been waiting and trying to find a way to get his revenge. Now, he could almost taste it!

"Sir, I have news from Drakken's lab. The programming is almost complete, and the machine is ready. All we need to do now is to get a sample." His lawyer told him.

"Good. Very good." was all Block Buster said as he looked out onto the landscape of New York City.

"Sir, once the project is completely under way, should we eliminate Drakken like we did with the previous scientists?" the lawyer asked him.

"No. This one is special. I'll keep him alive for now." Block Buster told him.

"Sir, I don't mean to speak out of place, but he knows who you are. If he is ever arrested, he can testify to what you look like." The lawyer told him.

"That's if and when. Right now, he's done more than the other scientists we've kidnapped and bought off. We'll keep him on the payroll. If he screws up, I'll give him a reason to replace something else with a machine." Block Buster said as he watched the blue sky start to become covered by the dark storm clouds that were rolling in on the wind. Revenge was going to be his, and that hero will learn what it is to know pain.


Kim walked through the front door of her home; completely exhausted. She and Ron had to stop Monkey Fist from stealing Jade artifacts from a museum in Japan. Of course, they had something to do with Mystical Monkey Powers. Ron fought Monkey Fist and was able to give the Monkey Master a run for his money. Kim fought off the monkey ninjas and wore herself out. Ron went home to soak in a cold bath, and Kim thought a warm shower would do wonders for her. When Kim walked through the doors, she almost did a double take as she saw Shonna standing in front of the TV while holding both Tweebs in the air by their shirt collars.

"Kim, if you want your brothers to live long enough to see High School, keep them out of my way!" Shonna told her.

"What did they do now?" Kim asked, not wanting to deal with her annoying twin brothers.

"We needed to barrow something,"

"For a school project!" they said, finishing each other's sentence.

"BARROW, MY ASS! THEY STOLE ONE OF MY BRAS AND TURNED IT INTO A DUAL SLING SHOT!" Shonna shouted, her anger reaching a boiling point.

"You too, huh? Listen Tweebs, pissing me off is one thing. You piss her off, and she will deep fry your butts." Kim told them.

"Not to mention if anything happens to my babies, you'll have to deal with my husband, The Phantom, and Team Go!" Shonna growled and let her hands give off a green glow.

"Gotta go!" both Tweebs said as they slid out of their T-shirts and ran up stairs!

"You know, just Frank in his costume alone could scare them. Speaking of which, is he still on patrol?" Kim asked as she started to head up stairs.

"No, he's in the shower. He got back a few minutes ago." Shonna said as she eased herself onto the couch.

Kim went and sat on the couch next to her, hoping that all the hot water wouldn't be gone by the time Frank got out. Even though it had already been a few weeks, it was still weird for Kim to have someone who used to be her worst enemy staying in her house while trying to establish a friendship between each other.

"So how's being pregnant?" Kim asked the pale green woman.

"It's better since I don't have to deal with morning sickness anymore. But I also can't see my feet!" she said as she tried to find something to watch, and left the TV tuned to wrestling.

"Out of curiosity, does it feel weird when they move?" Kim asked her.

"Sort of. I've never anything living inside my body before. It feels like bubbles or something. I don't know if I can really explain it. Why? Are you and the goofball thinking about having a brat?" Shonna asked her former enemy.

"No! No! Well, not right now." She told Shonna with a slight blush.

Before Shonna could say something, she started to touch her swollen abdomen.

"Is everything okay?" Kim asked her.

"I don't know. I – I think I have to go to the bathroom." Shonna said and stood up.

Kim started to watch her walk, and noticed she kept her hand on her stomach. Kim knew something was wrong right off the bat.

"OH SHIT!" Shonna shouted as Kim saw a large puddle of water form around Shonna's feet!

"FRANK! GET DOWN HERE QUICK!" Kim shouted as she helped Shonna sit down in a near by chair.

Frank bolted out of the bathroom and leapt down the stairs in no time! He was wearing a pair of old jeans and his glasses as he reached Shonna.

"What happened?" Frank asked her.

"M-my water broke!" Shonna said as she started to feel a contraction coming on.

"Holy shit! Kim, get your mother back here quick!" Frank said as he noticed the puddle on the floor.

"I'm way ahead of you!" Kim said as she hit speed dial for the hospital.

"You ok? Wait, stupid question!" Frank said as he held Shonna's hand.

"I didn't know it would hurt this much! I prefer a plasma blast to the back again!" she said and squeezed his hand as another contraction hit!

"I think if doctors let on about the pain, no one would be having kids." Frank said as she smiled a little.

That's when another contraction hit Shonna, forcing her to grab the banister to the stairs. Her face contorted with pain as she let out a low groan. She finally let out one loud scream, and ripped part of the banister free! Frank just pried the broken piece of wood from her hand while he tried to brush some the hair out of her eyes.

"You Damn Mother Fucking Son of a Bitch! You did this to me! I'LL KILL YOU FOR THIS!" Shonna screamed at him when another contraction hit!

"Frank, move Shonna to the couch so she can be comfortable!" Kim said to him.

"Got it." Frank said and helped her up. Once Shonna was standing, his eyes went wide at he looked at the chair seat!

"Oh, sweet Jesus!" Frank said.

"Frank, what's wrong?" Shonna asked between breaths and looked at the seat.

"Oh, Christ!" Shonna said as she saw a blood stain on the chair cushion.

"Kim, get your mom to send an ambulance! I want her, and only doctors she absolutely trusts!" Frank told Kim as he helped Shonna to the couch.

"What's wrong?" Kim asked him.

"Shonna's bleeding!" Frank told her, both of their faces filled with worry.

"Oh crap!" Kim said and told her mother of the situation. Even Kim knew that meant something was wrong!

"Frank that isn't, good is it?" Shonna asked him.

"I don't know. I know I said no hospitals, but I don't know what else to do." he told her as the worry filled his face.

"Just make sure that they're going to be okay." Shonna said as she started to have another contraction.


Author's Note(s): I didn't know how to create a bad guy, so I choose different things I read from various novels to try and show why Block Buster became the way he was.
