The Birth of a Juke Box Hero pt. 13

To HyperCaz: Well, I'm trying to end this fight scene here. I guess everyone in Cleveland's too caught up in their own insanity to notice that Bobby Parkins has gone missing.

To Aaron: I'm glad you like the bets. I hope Razor will get a chance to make many more comments about the women of the Marvel Universe. Keep on reading!

To Wizard1: Razor was being sarcastic with that Invisible Woman comment. I guess Sue Richards didn't pick that up.

To Dylan Wiles: I hope you can handle the money coming in! I've been trying to find a way to end this fight. I hope this way is good.

To Metal Dragon1: "Juke Box Hero" is performed by a band called Foreigner from their album "4". It's a good song. BTW, what do you plan to do w/ Razor and Tusk?

Previously on Birth of a Juke Box Hero: Kid Razor and Xantor dueled in a private little dimension, Xantor using his shape-shifting powers to battle Razor a variety of ways, while the people of Cleveland, Ohio bet on the outcome of the big fight! What'll happen now? Find out next!

"Why won't you die, man?" Razor groaned. Xantor healed up and smirked.

"I see you've found a way to escape." The demon laughed.

"Oh, brother. Can't this guy come up with anything original?" Ronnie groaned. The other superheroes readied for battle.

"Ah-ha, your allies." Xantor nodded.

"You can't beat all of us, loudmouth." Ben Grimm said.

"Oh really?" Xantor laughed. With a wave of his hand, he made the other heroes disappear. Razor looked around in shock.

"Jumpin' Judas Priest! What'd you do?" Razor snapped. Xantor smirked.

"Round three, Razor. Round three." He said simply.

(Outside the Cleveland Mall)

The people and newscasters were still waiting outside for any signs of life at the mall. Bets were still being taken:

"$500 bucks on Razor beating up the cop!" The homeless man pointed at Polanski.

"Hey!" Polanski snapped.

"$300 on Razor kicking Thor in the face!"

"Dumb bet." Rip shook his head.

"Personally, I think The Scarlet Witch is hotter than Warbird." Tommy said.

"No way, I think she's creepy." Alex groaned.

"Nah, she wants me!" Tommy snapped.

"Bull!" Alex snapped back. "Girls hate you!"

"That's it!" Tommy yelled. The Baines Brothers started brawling. Again.

"Idiots." Jubilee shook her head at the brothers. She sighed when she looked at the mall. "Razor...Please be okay, baby." She then saw a flash of light. The X-Men, Avengers, FF, and Spidey landed on the ground in front of the mall. A blue energy dome appeared around the mall.

"Ah think Razor's in trouble." Rogue said, looking up at the wall.

"No kidding." Warbird agreed.

"Hey girls, want our numbers?" The Baines Brothers yelled at the two heroines. Jubilee sunk to the ground.

"I don't know those dopes, I don't know those dopes..." Multiple explosions rocked the mall, causing people to scream and the heroes to flinch.

"What was that?!" Thor yelled.

"RAZOR!!!" Jubilee screamed in horror. More explosions rocked the mall.

"Uhn!" Razor got knocked into a wall. He looked like he was in the mother of all fistfights. His body showed no signs of physical damage, like black eyes or broken bones. But razor did have some cuts on his body, and some rips in his tights and jacket.

"Awww man." Razor moaned. "My costume's all ripped."

"Agh!" Xantor got knocked into another wall.

"Razor! You don't seem to be able to take him down." Ronnie smirked.

"Oh shut up." Razor grumbled as he got up.

"Razor, you need more power!" Ronnie said.

"And where do you suggest I get more power? A big freakin' battery?" Razor snapped.

"Everyone has the Power of Rock in them, Razor." Ronnie explained. "You are the living embodiment of Rock 'n' Roll. You can bring out that power in others."

"What're you saying?" Razor wondered.

"The heroes, Razor. Bring out the Power of Rock in the heroes and combine it with your own power." Ronnie suggested. "All you have to do is concentrate." Razor noticed Xantor slowly get up.

"This had better work, or I'm gonna knock your ghostly head off." Razor warned. The fearless super-human rocker closed his eyes. {Power of Rock...Power of Rock....} Razor suddenly felt a pulsing within his veins, like he was sensing something. He sensed it from outside. He realized what it was. He could feel it. The people outside. The X-Men. The Fantastic Four. The Avengers. Spider-Man. They all had the Power of Rock flowing through them. He almost instinctively raised his guitar in the air. Razor's body glowed in rainbow colors with the Power of Rock.

"Aw, I hate Razor! He's practically destroyed the mall!" Polanski threw his coat down in frustration. "I'm going to bust his ass so huh?" Polanski noticed his body had started glowing in rainbow energy.

"What?" The Firecrackers and Jubilee noticed as their bodies also started glowing. The people murmured amongst themselves as their bodies started glowing.

"I believe this is the Power of Rock." Reed said, noticing the heroes were glowing as well.

"Pretty." Jen said.

"You've gotta be kidding." Logan sighed.

"THIS is where all rock music comes from?" Scott realized.

"I feel funny." Sue admitted. Rainbow energy beams flew from the heroes and people, slammed through the dome, and into the mall.

(Inside the Cleveland Mall)

The energy flew into Kid Razor's guitar, causing it to glow brighter than ever!

"That's it, Razor! You're doing it! You're calling upon the Power of Rock to a whole new level! Whoo-hoo!" Ronnie leaped into the air happily.

"What?" Xantor wondered.

"Hey Xantor!!!" Razor pointed the guitar's head at Xantor. The guitar was glowing so brightly, Razor had to squint to protect his sight. He played the guitar solo from Kiss's song "Love Gun". "TRY THIS ON!!!" Razor fired a huge beam from his guitar. The beam screamed through the air.

"NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!" Xantor screamed. The blast engulfed the demon, roasting him alive like a vampire in sunlight. The blast blew away half the building, but the blue dome held the explosion before it disappeared. The rest of the building collapsed.

"OH MY GOD!!!!" Jubilee screamed. "RAZOR!!!"

"Oh Goddess..." Storm said in shock, under her breath.

"I can't sense him!" Jean said.

"No way Kid Razor could survive that!" Cap realized. The people of Cleveland were silent. Even Polanski was quiet. One person asked if anyone bet this would happen. The sound of the person getting slapped followed immediately. Ten minutes passed by, but it felt like hours. Wendy held a screaming and crying Jubilee. Suddenly...

"Hey! The rubble moved!" Logan pointed. In a blast of rainbow energy, some rubble got blown away, and a figure slowly rose. It was Kid Razor. Dirt mixed with his face paint, his lip was cut, and his costume was torn, but the Kid of Rock 'n' Roll still looked good, and he had his smirk.

"Jubes! Look!" Wendy pointed. Jubilee looked up.

"RAZOR!!!!" She squealed. Razor smirked in her direction.

"Who were ya expectin', Mick Jagger?" Razor laughed.

Well, looks like our little story is almost at an end! What'll happen next? Will more insanity occur? Who else will be after Razor? Find out in the next exciting chapter! Suggestions needed badly!
