A New Hero?
"Max!!!" screamed and annoyed voice. "Get up already!" Max groaned as he got up out of bed. He walked over to his dresser
and pulled out some blue jeans and a dark green shirt. Putting them on, he started down the stairs where he was greeted by his
mom. Almost greeted....."Finally!!" yelled Max's mom. She handed Max a list. "I need you to go to the store and pick up a few
things." Max's mom said. Max looked at the long list. "A few things?" he replied. "Don't complain. If you don't get these things
we will have no dinner." said Max's Mom. "Fine." said Max. He left home and started on the path to town.

Halfway through the path, Max met up with his three friends. They were all 17 years, the same as Max. The first was a blond
boy named Jake. He was skinny and a very fast runner. The second was a very attractive young girl named Jenny. She had
brown hair and is very agile. The third was a brown haired boy name Marcus. Jake and Marcus were brothers. Max stopped
as his friends reached him. "Ready to go to the mall?" asked Jake. "I can't." replied Max. He held up the list. "I need to pick up
some groceries." "Shoot. Your mom is always sending you shopping. Always at the worst of times, too." said Marcus. "Well
we will just have to help him." said Jenny. "I for one am not missing the chance." Max was a vvvveeerrrryyyy lucky guy.
Somehow he was able to make Jenny fall for him. They've been together for the past 2 months but have been friends for years,
which greatly helped there relationship. "Now that im back from that stupid camp my mom sent me to I can see you again."
stated Jenny. She grabbed Max's hand. Max blushed a little. He has been wanting to see her too. Jake noticed this. "Well
me and Marcus will go by ourselves, and leave you two to the shopping." Jake said. Marcus understood and nodded in
agreement. "All right, cya later guys." Jake and Marcus left. Max and Jenny slowly walked towards town. Jenny laid her head
on Max's shoulder. "I missed you." she said. "I missed you too" said Max.

"Damn that Ness!" screamed Pokey to no one. "That attack took me by surprise." he thought. "I was barely able to switch
demensions." Pokey's Hovermech was dented and blackened. It flew at odd altitudes, falling higher and lower as it flew.
"When I reach my castle, I will order my Hovermech to be repaired" Pokey thought. "ALERT, ALERT." beeped Pokeys
machine. "What's the matter?" Pokey told his computer. "Approaching two human life forms." replied the machine. Pressing a
few buttons, Pokey put a picture of the two people on a screen. "Hmmmm. What have we here..." Pokey said evilly.

Max heard a low rumble in the air north of him. Looking up he saw the strangest flying machine he had ever seen in his life. "Its
slowing down" thought Max. Jenny saw and heard it too. "What's that?" she said. The machine slowly descended towards them.
Instead of making a soft landing it slammed into the ground. "Damnit" said a muffled voice. Stepping cautiously forward, the
couple walked towards the object on the ground. The hatch to the Hovermech opened and Pokey jumped out. "Who in the
heck are you?" said Jenny. Pokey looked at her with very wide eyes and an evil grin formed on his face. "You will be perfect
as my second bride." said Pokey to Jenny. Stepping in front of Jenny, Max balled his fist's. "I don't know what your talking
about, but I think you should leave." said Max. "Oh? And who's ganna make me?" retorted Pokey. "I will if I have to." said
Max in a loud voice. He was getting angry and didn't really know why. Pokey reached into his Hovermech and pulled out a
small gun. He aimed it at Max and Jenny. "The girl, what's her name." demanded Pokey. "None of your business" said Jenny.
"Fiesty aren't we" taunted Pokey. "Well whatever your name is come here now, or ill do something with this gun you will
regret." "NO! Don't you even think about touching her!" yelled Max. His growing panic of the situation was feeding his anger.
Looking around, Max saw no form of cover or anything that could be used as a weapon. The gun was not a normal gun as
Max soon learned. Pokey shot a bolt of electricity from the gun at Max. It hit Max and threw him to the ground. "Max!" yelled a
panicked Jenny. She ran to Max and helped him stand up. "Get out of here now, Jenny." Max said. "I can't leave you here!"
said Jenny. Max pushed Jenny slightly. "Go now, before he can hurt you." Max said angrily. Anger and panic were equally
surging threw him now. He could think of no way out of this. Pokey jumped back in his Hovermech and rose into the air. A
mechanical arm extended from the bottom of the Hovermech. "RUN!" yelled Max. Jenny turned and ran. It was to late. In one
quick swoop the Hovermech had Jenny by the waist in the mechanical arm. It raised back into the mech through a hatch,
carrying Jenny with it. Pokey brought the mech back down to the ground and stepped back out with his gun. "LET HER GO"
yelled Max. Pokey answered with another shock from his gun. Max flew back into the dirt. Frantically getting up Max looked
everywhere for a weapon. The anger and panic was becoming unbearable now. He could find no weapon. Max stood up and
looked straight at Pokey. Max's hands began to glow white. A new feeling overcame him. It was a calming feeling. Words
began to form in Max's mind. He could barley make them out. "PSI Mystic" whispered Max. With these words a sense of
realization fell over Max. "PSI MYSTIC" screamed Max. The white light in Max's hands formed a large ball and shot through
the air towards his enemy. Noticing long before it was cast, Pokey prepared for the attack. Jumping back into his Hovermech,
he put up a PSI shield. Only part of the white light was reflected, blowing off the hatch. Pokey brought the mech into the air. "I
didn't expect anyone in this demension to have PSI" thought Pokey. Pokey decided to make no more stops and continued his
way back to his castle with his new prisoner. "COME BACK YOU COWARD!" yelled Max. "PSI MYSTIC!" yelled Max
again, but Pokey was already almost out of sight. Max slumped to the ground. He couldn't think of what to do. His newfound
power was shocking, but Jenny was on his mind. He began to cry. "I lost her." whispered Max. He stayed like this for about an
hour. Then, looking up, he saw a blinding flash to the north. Max got
up and began to walk towards it.
*Note* The events in this chapter seemed to happen very fast. Some parts sound a little dumb. Also, Pokey seemed to turn into a really evil and perverted person out of nowhere. I could think of no other way to introduce these new characters, so what you see is what you get. I hope you liked it. I know I enjoyed writing it.
