The Uncanny Kid Razor
To mattb3671: Hey there, matt! Nice to hear from you again! I'm very glad you liked the last chapter! I'm glad you liked that bit with Larry the Superhero Heckler, as I like to call him, then check out the new chapter of "The Starr Chronicles". I was very glad to help you with that last chapter of "X-Men is Australian for Mutant". If you ever need me to beta-read anything else, let me know. Enjoy the new chapter, and I can hardly wait for new chapters of "X-Men is Australian for Mutant" and "Peace between Humans and Mutants: Priceless"!
To The Uncanny R-Man: Hey there, R-Man! Nice to hear from you again! I'm very glad you liked the last chapter! You know, maybe I can have a fight between Razor and Gladiator. I thought that the Redfoot/Selene brawl would be good. They are Kid Razor and Sonic Blue's greatest foes, and I can imagine Redfoot would want to get himself a piece of Selene if he found out she killed Sonic Blue. I just had an idea for a scene with Spencer. Enjoy the new chapter, and I can hardly wait to read more from you!
To todd fan: Hey there, todd fan! I'm glad you liked the last chapter! Enjoy the new chapter, and I can hardly wait for new chapters of "Slugs and Snails", and "Random Tales of the Magic Roundabout"!

Chapter 21: Here We Go Again!
MapleHigh School, Cincinnati, Ohio
"Hmmm hmm hm, hm hm hmmm…" Spencer Burton hummed happily as he sat at a table in the high school's outdoor area of the cafeteria. He rifled through a blue thermal plastic lunch container. He pulled out a ham sandwich with cheese, lettuce, and salami. He pulled out two small plastic bags, one containing a mixture of celery and carrot sticks, and the other containing tiny chocolate chip cookies. Finally, he pulled out a bottle of soda. Spencer himself was dressed in a black t-shirt with a blue lightning bolt on the chest and blue jeans. His long brown hair was in its trademark ponytail.
"Hey there, Spencer." A familiar voice said. Spencer looked up and smiled. He saw a pretty girl around his age standing there, dressed in a green sweater and blue jeans. Her eyes were green and her auburn hair was in a braid.
"Hey Hannah! What's up, girl?" Spencer grinned.
"Nothing much." Hannah Reynolds smiled sweetly. "Just wanted to see how Cincinnati's Greatest Hero is doing." She sat down across from him at that able, putting a brown paper bag on the table. Hannah Reynolds was an old friend of Spencer's. In fact, she had known him since they were in kindergarten. And the inventor had a huge crush on the auburn-haired girl.
"Hey Spencer, my man!" A pair of voices said. Spencer turned around and saw two guys suddenly grab him in a big hug. One was a big muscular guy with short spiky blond hair, dressed in a Maple High Buzzsaws t-shirt, an orange-and-white letterman jacket, and jeans. The other was a sleek-bodied African-American with his hair in a small nappy afro.
"Ack! Chunk! Randy!" Spencer exclaimed. Arthur "Chunk" Williams was the big blond kid. He was a football player. He was often tutored by Spencer. He wasn't stupid or anything, it was just he found academia boring. Spencer couldn't blame him. It was always for of a thrill for Chunk to turn quarterbacks into roadkill than sit in a classroom reading books. Randy Winston was the African-American kid. He and Spencer were teammates on the track team. In fact, Randy was Spencer's alternate, much like Spencer was Keith Michaels' alternate back in the day, before he became the crazed armored super-fast lunatic Redfoot. "How are you guys doing?"
"Coach says that my grades are getting better." Chunk grinned. "Thanks for the tutoring, Spence. That book-learning bores me, but you make it fun."
"I'm just glad I could help you out, Chunk." Spencer smiled.
"Hey Spence, you are one sly dog. You got a hot blonde and you never told us?"
"Blonde?" Spencer blinked at the runner.
"What blonde, Spencer?" Hannah asked. Spencer blinked. He searched through his memory, and he came to one conclusion.
Aw hell naw… Spencer thought.
"She's been looking around for you all day."
"Ah, we meet again, Spencer Allen Burton." Spencer and the gang turned and saw what appeared to be a teenager with a curvy figure, long blonde hair, blue eyes, and dressed in a tight green-and-yellow tank top and tight green jeans with a yellow studded belt. Even though she looked different, Spencer easily recognized her.
"Aw hell naw…" Spencer moaned.

"The X-Men have had numerous adventures out in space. I heard of them from you." Gladiator told Razor. "That is how I have heard of you. Your arrogance is also legendary. I have heard that the other 'heroes' of the Earth do not like you much."
"They're just jealous of the Kid of Rock because the Kid of Rock is like Muhammad Ali: He is the greatest! Whoo!" Razor whooped. Ramada sighed happily.
"Indeed, beloved. You are the greatest."
"Easy, Ramada." Razor smirked. "I know you excite easily, but you really need to calm down, Spacegal."
"Gladiator, we have them." Freezox told the powerhouse alien.
"Wait a minute, that's it? You're just going to bring them home to their mommies?" Razor grumbled.
"No." Freezox replied. "They'll get reprimanded for their actions."
"Although I doubt it's very severe." Gladiator grumbled under his breath, eyeing Freezox. "After all, Earth is not a part of the Shi'Ar Empire." Gladiator didn't seem to know or remember that Kid Razor's ears were very sensitive, granting him superhuman hearing. Razor's hearing picked up that remark clear as a bell.
"Hey Mohawk!" Razor snapped. "I heard that! The Three Stooges caused a lot of problems while they were here! Look what they did to that bookstore!"
"And the speedy one placed his hands on me in a manner that only my future husband may handle me." Ramada added, pointing at Razor with his thumb.
"Earth is a backwater planet!" Zip yelled out for the ship.
"Say that again!" Kid Razor roared as he tried to run toward the ship, only to be held back by Gladiator. It wasn't that the Mohawk-wearing warrior did not want Kid Razor to beat the snot of the three Alva Bevas. He and Ramada evidently did plenty of that. He didn't want Razor to accidentally damage the ship. "Say that again, punk!" Zip got up from his seat, fists raised, ready to fight."
"Come on! You so bad! Let's do this!" Zip yelled. He was being held back by Freezox.
"Knock it off, you idiot!" Freezox snapped. "You're already in it deep enough!"
"Let me go! Let me go! Let me go!" Zip yelled. "I'll kick your ass, you loudmouth!"
"Bring it on!" Razor roared, struggling against Gladiator, who had the living avatar of rock music by one arm. "Come on, you Quicksilver wannabe! Let's see what you got! You think you can mess stuff up in my town, boy? Come on! Let me go, you oversized purple Mr. T wannabe!" Kid Razor charged up his free fist with the Power of Rock. "HEAVY METAL PUNCH!" The Ultimate Rockstar lashed out with the fist, nailing Gladiator right in the nose. Since the attack caught Gladiator by surprise, the purple warrior was unprepared to take the attack, and he was sent flying across the street until he hit a lamppost back-first.
"Oh boy! I love a good fight!" Ramada cheered.
"Ugh…" Gladiator held his head as he got to his feet. "You wish to fight?" Razor growled.
"You give those clowns what they deserve!" Razor yelled at Gladiator. "The Kid of Rock's world may not be a part of your Shi'Ar empire, but let the Kid of Rock tell you something. Those punks sauntered into town, drunk as skunks, and they tried to cause disaster around here! They spooked the living hell out of a bunch of people, and trashed a bookstore!"
"We did?" Powerhouse asked.
"Shut up Powerhouse!" Zip and Multitron snapped, smacking the super-strong and super-tough Shi'Ar upside the head.
"You guys are mean…" Powerhouse moaned.
"You think the human loudmouth with the razor blade tights can take Gladiator?" Multitron asked Freezox. The ice-making Shi'Ar Rush Chairman shrugged.
"I do not know. I have not heard of this human. But Gladiator is immensely powerful. I highly doubt he'll stand against him." Freezox answered. A great big BOOM was heard as Razor smashed Gladiator upside the head with his magical guitar.
