Sky High
Chapter 1 - Getting Ready
"Come on!" Yugi strained as he tried as hard as he could to lift the weight up, but it was just not moving. Giving up, Yugi sat back up and sighed. Suddenly, he heard a voice from downstairs.
"Yugi," the voice came.
"Uh-oh," Yugi replied as he jumped up off the bench.
"Yugi," the voice came again, coming closer to Yugi's room, as Yugi struggled lifting up more heavy weights and adding them to the bar. Suddenly, a man with grey spiky hair, just like Yugi's, black framed glasses and a bandana on stepped into Yugi's room. Yugi was already laying back down on the bench with his hands on the bar again, looking like he had just brought it back down.
"Two hundred!" Yugi said as he let go of the bar and sat back up to see the man who was in his room. "Oh, hey, Gramps, just trying to get a few sets in before school."
"Low weights, high rep, huh?" Yugi's Grandfather, Solomon, replied. "Good thanking, don't want to bulk up."
"Nah, going more for definition," Yugi replied as Solomon sighed, took off his glasses and then sat down beside him, picked up once of Yugi's weights on the floor and held it as if it was as light as a feather.
"Big day huh?" he said before he sighed again. "Yugi, I just want you to know how proud I am that you'll be attending my alma mater…and someday following me into the family business."
"Game shop?" Yugi joked.
"Right, game shop," Solomon chuckled, winking at his grandson, while he played with the 'heavy' weight in his hand. "On a more serious note, Yugi. I know that every kid thinks his granddad's invincible and I nearly am, but who knows? Maybe next time I punch a meteor that's coming towards Earth, maybe I'll be the one who shatters into a million pieces. I-I guess all I'm trying to say here, Yugi, it's nice to know that whatever happens to me, you'll still be around to save the world."
"Looking forward to it," Yugi nervously replied.
"We all are," Solomon said as he stood up, but then realised he still had the weight in his hand. "Oh, here you go!" he said as he threw the weight back at Yugi before walking out the door.
"Oof!" Yugi let out as he caught the weight, but it was so heavy it knocked the wind right out of him and made him fall back onto his bed which suddenly made the bedlegs brake off, making the bed go crashing down.
Meanwhile, in the kitchen…
Rosie, Yugi's mother, stood in the kitchen until she heard the door bell go. Suddenly, she levitated off the ground, and in a flash, she was at the door and immediately answered it.
"Good morning Mrs. Moto," a brown haired girl replied on the other side of the door, looking not too surprised about it being answered so quickly.
"Mornin' Tea! Come in," Rosie replied as she lead Tea back upstairs into their home.
"I noticed you had recyclables in the trash. So I took the liberty of moving them for you," Tea said as she followed Rosie up the stairs into the kitchen.
"Thank you Tea, are you hungry? I've got plenty of eggs, bacon…"
"No thanks. You know how my mum can talk to animals? Apparently they don't like being eaten!" Tea replied, leaving Rosie a little stumbled.
"How about some juice then?"
"Great!" Tea replied as Solomon entered the kitchen.
"He's on his way," he said to Rosie before seeing Tea. "Oh, hey Tea."
"Good morning, Commander," Tea greeted as Solomon gave her a weird look.
"Commander?" he replied before Tea pointed to her eye, making him realise he has still had his glasses off. "Oh," he said as he put them back on.
"I can't believe you and Yugi are starting high school!" Rosie said as she gave Tea a glass of orange juice. "It seems like just yesterday were swimming in the kiddie pool."
"MOM!" Yugi yelled as he entered the kitchen and sat down at the table. "Hi, Tea."
"Hey, Yugi," Tea replied as the phone started ringing. Rosie picked it up to answer it, but no one was there.
"Rosie, it's the other phone," Solomon said as he held up their red flashing phone and answered it. "Go…I see…thank you mayor…There's trouble downtown!" he said into the phone before twirling round to see Rosie standing right next to him. "Big trouble. Downtown."
"Oh shoot! I really wanted to see Yugi off to the bus!" Rosie responded. "I remember his first day of pre-school where he wouldn't let go of my leg."
"MOM!" Yugi yelled again before Rosie kissed him on the cheek and rushed off into the other room. Solomon went to follow her, but then he stopped and turned back to Yugi.
"Oh Yugi, a reminder, some of the kids at sky high, will only have one superhero parent, not two," he informed his grandson. "So take it easy on them. No showing off."
"Oh dad, not to worry," Yugi replied. "I'll keep it low key."
"Dad!" Rosie called from the other room.
"Gotta go," Solomon replied before going off into the other room as the bookcase opened up to reveal two metal poles, of which Solomon and Rosie slid down.
Meanwhile, back in the kitchen…
Tea rinsed her hand over a bunch of dead plants that sat on the windowsill. As she did that, the planted rapidly came back to life and bloomed again. She then went back over to Yugi who had just switched on the television.
"…Reports of a situation downtown. Let' check with the news chopper five," the newsreader said on the television as on the side of the screen showed a giant robot rampaging through the city. "Seems evil has struck our morning commute. Here's ma hint, if you're travelling eastbound on the 115, you might wanna think about taking alternate routes…Hang on, this just in. The Commander and Jetstream are on their way."
Meanwhile, flying over the city rooftops…
"Are you sure he'll be okay? What if he forgets he's lunch?" Rosie wondered out loud, as she flew over the city while holding Solomon in her arms. Both wearing their red, blue and white superhero costumes, complete with capes.
"Rosie…Rosie, you've gotta stop babying the boy," Solomon replied.
"You're right, you're right," she agreed as they reached the giant robot terrorising the city of Domino.
"Left!" Solomon yelled as the giant robot swung his arm at them, but as Rosie was told, she immediately flew left and to behind the robot, making the it miss them. "Circle back around!"
"I'm on it!" Rosie replied as she flew Solomon to the front of the robot again.
"Realise!"
"Launch!" Rosie yelled as she let Solomon go, but not before giving him a little push forwards first. With the extra push, Solomon dived right towards the robot's chest, and with fist first, he crashed right into it, making a massive hole in it and bringing the falling to the ground below.
"Oh! And the robot goes down!" the news reporter commentated as Solomon took out one of the robot's machine parts. "He's plucking out a souvenir from another successful battle. What a team! The Commander and Jetstream. What would we do without them?"
"They are good," Yugi sighed before he switched off the television, picked up his backpack and followed Tea out the front door.
