Legion Life 10

Lightning lad:

Garth Ranzz looked up at his cackling brother Mekt.

"Garth, Garth. You think you're more powerful than me don't you? I got hit more from that lightning bolt and you know it so lets see who is the most strongest. Do you wanna know who took your favourite car when we were younger? Me! I stole all your stuff and you believed me when I said there's probably a toy stealing monster. Oh Garth, you sure do believe everything you hear. To bad I can't let you hear anything else!" Mekt Ranzz glared after his younger brother who was running towards a space ship."Oh dear, looks like I'm not going to be able to catch you in that fast speeding rocket am I? Cause you just wait you'll be asking for mercy as soon as I look you in the eye." He mocked.

Garth didn't say anything. He just hopped into the driving seat shivering with fear that he too had to admit overwhelmed him too much. He to one short glance at his steaming brother who was once kind and caring but now a thief, liar and a villain.

"No brother, you're the one who will be asking for mercy. I may not be as strong as you but I have a stronger mind, heart and can practice for much longer," Garth Ranzz whispered as he drove off into the glistening stars of space to search for adventure and honor. Three hours had past and Garth had still hadn't found any adventure. He stopped at a space drive thru for some donuts.

"May I take your order," a stout man asked

"Could I have the…Jam and chocolate donut please," Garth answered with his own question.

"Please continue to the next window," The stout man pointed to the next window.

"Sure, whatever," Garth said plainly handing in the money and started to drive to the next window.

"Here's your donuts sir. Eat and enjoy," The other man gave the donuts to Garth having to lean through the square window. Garth drove off eating the donuts.

"Sure taste a bit sweet," He told himself…"Oh well better eat them or buying them was a waste,"

Garth carried on round and found a blue planet with peculiar green splodges.



'Hope it aint dangerous,' He thought and commanded his space ship to drive him down to the peculiar planet. As soon as the space ship landed, Garth stepped out into the free world. "Wow, looks like I'll be finding a job here to earn money or stuff to keep a living. What sort of job though?" Garth asked himself thoughtfully. While wondering round the big city in thought someone ran into him knocking them both down. Garth looked up and saw a blonde haired girl about his age.

"Sorry about that. I'm Elmira," Elmira apologized offering her hand. Garth took the hand and introduced himself.

"It's ok, I'm Garth," Garth said. 'Maybe she'll be really gob smacked when I show her my power,' He thought. "I have a power, I have got lightning powers. I can control lightning at my bare finger tips,"

"I have a power too. I'm a telepath. If you don't know what one of them is…" Elmira began.

"Yeah, yeah I know about telepaths," Garth interrupted.

"So you're not from around here are you?" Elmira asked.

"How could you tell?" Garth replied sheepishly.

"First of all I could read your mind, second of all I had just found a mini space cruiser next to the park and last of all lightning guys don't come from Earth or New Metropolis," Elmira explained.

The two new friends didn't realize they were walking towards a weird shaped building until they bumped into it themselves.

"Ouch!" They both chorused.

"Looks like we weren't looking where we were going," Garth moaned holding his forehead.

"This looks like an ancient ruin, come on lets explore!" Elmira explained.

"To bad kids we can't let you explore for we need to collect the gold buried down there! Thanks to you kids anyway you found it for us," A young man appeared blocking the way. "I'm sorry kids but this has to be done. Henchmen attack!"

"I think we need to fight," Garth randomly said.

"I don't think we need to, we have to!" Elmira exclaimed shooting mind blasts everywhere.

"Ok then," Garth said slowly, blasting out lightning bolts…"Ahhhh," Garth and Elmira got trapped in a magnetic net neither of them could break out of.



"Need some help?" A young boy shouted swinging down from a strong rope.

"Umm yeah we do," Elmira answered.

"Right then," The boy called.

Elmira and Garth watched the young boy about their age take out the villains.

"Hey let us go! We're not finished with our job yet!" The young man called from the magnetic net Elmira and Garth were trapped in.

"You guys all right?" The boy questioned.

"We sure are thanks for rescuing us. I'm Elmira and this is Garth," Elmira introduced us.

"I'm Michael. I have magnetic powers," Michael introduced himself.

Soon after, Garth came up with a brilliant idea everyone would think came once in a lifetime from him.

"Say I know, how about we start our own superhero club. Like the Legion of Superheroes. We could get other people with superpowers to join and then we'll be a Legion. Include the superpowers and what does that give us?" Garth called.

"The Legion of Superheroes!" Elmira and Michael both exclaimed together.

"That's right," Garth said.

"But we shouldn't use our real names, let's have code names. I'll be umm Saturn girl," Elmira/Saturn girl announced.

"Lightning lad," Garth/Lightning lad faintly said.

"Umm Cosmic boy," Michael/Cosmic boy decided.

"Cool, let's open the auditions now!" Saturn girl whispered not wanting everyone to hear.

"Yeah come on then. This ruin could be a great place for our head quarters. We could get the gold and pay builders to build the head quarters even taller," Cosmic boy shared his idea.

"OK," Lightning lad agreed already down the tunnel.

"Hey wait for us," Saturn girl called after Lightning lad.

The trio clambered down the tunnel towards the gold. As soon as they grabbed the gold they were already halfway out. The sprinted across to the building shop and spent all the gold for a 

new HQ. Taller than before. As soon as the head quarters were built and more legionnaires joined everyone had nearly grew up. Growing up didn't mater to them as long as they got the job done.
