Me: Wow. Only one day since my Birthday and already I'm updating. It's because I had chapter 6 done on Thursday of last week. So read and review.
Disclaimer: (See Chapter 1)
"Dude! Wake up! You're going to be late!"
I woke up abruptly and saw Beast Boy hovering over me.
"Ack!"
I fell off my bed and landed on my ass with a thud.
"Hurry up dude! You still have to shower and get ready!"
"Beast Boy, its 6:45. I'll get up at seven."
"It takes half an hour to get to the competition!" Beast Boy wailed. "Come on! Up you get!"
"Jeez are you my mother?"
"No, but you have to get up. Please."
I sighed.
"Fine."
I stood up, grabbed fresh clothes, went into the bathroom, turned on the showerhead, stripped, and got in. I took a fifteen-minute shower and got dressed. I fixed my hair so it was spiked and went into the kitchen. I ate my breakfast with Beast Boy, my friends, and the rest of the Titans.
"Let's hope we get our powers back," Sheilee said. "I want to control Chino again. I always had fun making him fly around my room and landing on his soft bed."
Beast Boy, who was sitting next to me asked, "Is she always like this?"
"Not really," I answered back. "Most of the time yeah."
"Oh, okay. Gotcha."
I stood up, put my cereal bowl in the sink, and went back to my room for my gear. Beast Boy followed.
"Hand me my helmet," I said.
Beast Boy threw it to me and I caught it.
"It's a cool helmet," Beast Boy announced.
"Its not that special," I said. "My grandpa, who used to be in the war, gave it to me. He found it at a skate shop and he knew I liked bald eagles, so he bought it for my birthday two years ago. Still fits too."
I grabbed my elbow and knee guards, put my studded bracelets on, and placed my balled necklace around my neck.
"Ready?" Cyborg asked.
"Yep. We just have to go to M&M's skate shop."
"The rapper?" Beast Boy asked.
"The candy."
I walked out of my room, went downstairs, said good-bye to my mom, and we all got into the T-van. Robin would take his motorcycle with Starfire since she couldn't fly. We arrived at M's shop ten minutes later. We all got out of the van and went to the door, which was locked. I banged on the glass.
"Doesn't look like he's open," Raven said.
"Yo M! Open up dude!"
Beast Boy pushed me out of the way.
"Let me handle this dude." He took a pin out of his pocket and put it in the lock. "Eeny, meeny, miney, mo."
The door made a click sound. BB pushed it open and walked in. I followed after him. I went to the counter and rang the bell.
"M, where are you?"
He didn't answer.
"What's his real name?" Beast Boy asked.
"Clarence."
"Hey Clarence my man dude! Would you get your butt out here!"
I glared at the green changeling.
"He hates his real name."
The bathroom door unlocked at M&M's voice could be heard.
"Man, can't a dude take a shit in-!" he stopped as he saw me with the Titans. "You… You're the Titans!" He looked at me. "I thought you were joking! They're real?"
"Yeah, now listen up, M," I said. "Did you get my board done?"
"Nope."
"WHAT?"
"Its not finished yet dawg."
"What do you mean its not finished?" I asked annoyed. "I have to be at a tournament in twenty minutes!"
"Chill out dawg. You still have to sign it."
I almost did an anime fall and my eye twitched like Courtney's did when someone irritated her.
"What the fuck's the matter with you M?" I asked angrily. "I don't care about that! I need that board!"
"Alright! Alright! I'll get it for ya!"
He went to the back and came out with my finished board. He took out a white out pen. I grabbed it from him and headed to the door.
"Thanks M. I'll sign it over there."
"Wait up man! I'm going with you! I want to see my boy kick some butt."
I looked at the Titans.
"Okay, M, what I'm about to tell you is very important. The Titans aren't the only ones with powers. My friends and I do as well."
M&M's mouth fell open.
"You have powers?"
"Yeah, but a Mexican punk named Steven stole them. And we need to get them back. And the only way for that to happen is to beat Steven."
"I'm still going then," M&M said excitedly. "I have got to see these powers in action."
We went out and got back into the T-van after M locked the door and put a sign up saying he was closed all day. We drove over to where the competition was taking place. We all got out of the T-van and went up to the sign-up desk.
"Name?"
"Rocky Wolf."
The person shuffled through a few papers and pulled one out.
"You do know that this is a Skateboarding Competition with villains, right?"
"Yeah, your point?" I asked irritably.
The person looked at me skeptically.
"Okay Mr. Wolf. Your friends go down that way and you'll go this way. Now, who's your Captain?"
"I am," Robin said.
"Name?"
"Robin, of the Teen Titans."
The person signed something and gave it to me.
"Good luck."
I took it and gave it to Robin.
"Thank you."
"See you guys in a little bit."
Robin and I made our way towards the other competitors.
"Nervous?"
"Ha! You kidding me? I live for this stuff. I want my powers back and I want my friends to have their powers back also."
"Heh, if you live that long."
I stopped and turned around. Steven had on his gear and was standing in front of Slade. He also had his own design made board with Slade's symbol on the top. It was half black, half orange on the bottom. It also had a small devil on the bottom near the nose.
"Oh I plan on living that long," I said with a smirk. "I think I'm more experienced than you."
"I've been skateboarding since I was four," Steven said. "I've been in professional competitions since I was 10. You?"
"Started at age five and have practiced and won three professionals since I was 8. I was even close enough to beating Tony Hawk."
Steven smirked.
"Not bad. But since I have your powers, there's no way you can win."
"We'll just have to wait and see now, won't we?"
We glared at each other for a few seconds.
"Come Steven," Slade said.
They walked off, leaving Robin and me to ourselves. We turned around and headed towards the stands. There were young and older villains there as well as a few Super Heroes. We found our friends near the front, looking around at the setup for the competition. The half pipe was huge as well as the obstacle course. We walked over to our friends. I handed M my board and helmet. I put my knee and elbow guards on. I grabbed the edge of the stand and pulled myself up. Robin followed.
"Good thing the weathers nice, huh," Beast Boy said. "Shouldn't have any problems."
"And we will give you all the support that you need friend," Starfire said excitedly.
"Thanks guys," I said. I took my board, turned around, and propped my foot on the railing. "M&M! White out pen and skateboard."
He handed it to me. The guys stood around me. I took the lid off the pen, put my skateboard on my knee, and signed my name under the dragon's stomach.
Rocky Wolf
All the Titans and my friends cheered, lightening the mood.
"Booyah!"
"Alright dude!"
"You're going to school these losers dawg!" M&M cheered.
"Go Rocky! Three cheers for the good guys!" Sheilee shouted.
"No matter what happens guys," I said. I placed my gloved hand out, "Whether I win or loose, I'll always remember you guys. For our powers."
"For our powers," Courtney said, placing hers on top of mine.
Then Lea, Alan, Ariel, Sheilee, Robin, Cyborg, Raven, Starfire, Beast Boy, and M&M placed theirs on top.
"For the Heroes!" we all shouted, raising our hands off into the air.
"Next up, Rocky Wolf on the half pipe! Good luck!"
I grabbed my board and headed to the half pipe, walking past Steven and Slade.
"Yeah, you need all the luck you can get!" Steven shouted.
I got to the top of the half pipe, placed my board on the ground, and put my foot on top. I placed my helmet on my head, the eagle's beak gleaming off the light from the sun. I didn't click it on, but let the straps hang loose around my head. I got into my comfortable position that would start me off.
HONK!
I jumped down and went to the other side. I did a double kick flip and a grind. I went down the side backwards and went back to the other end. I did a front flip and did the same thing going back. I did another grind and turned so that I was facing forward again. I did a 360 on the other end and made another grind on the tail of my board. I slowed to a stop, jumped up, and did a 480, touching back down with ease. I made it to the other side by the horn. I landed on the top, kicked the tail of my board, and grabbed it in my hand. I looked over at the scoreboard.
"A 90!"
Close, but not good enough… yet.
"Next up, Steven Ascensio on the half pipe!"
I got down from the half pipe and walked past Steven. He bumped into me, making me get closer to the railing, close to Slade.
"You can't win Apprentice," he said. "If you forfeit now, I'll let you have your fire powers if it makes you feel better."
I looked at Steven for a few seconds as he went and slowly turned around to face Slade.
"I want my friend's powers and all of mine back, not just my fire powers," I said angrily. "I will kick your protégés ass and then take you down myself. Don't try bribing me 'cause it won't work." People cheered Steven on as he did something ultra cool. "See ya around Sladey."
I hit the railing and walked back to my friends.
"A 94!"
It was break time, so my friends and I walked around. I saw Johnny Rancid in the stands and decided to pester him.
"Yo Johnny! What's happenin' my brother?"
"Well, well, well. If it isn't Wolf Boy. Heard your powers were taken."
"Yeah, well I'm going to get 'em back," I said. "Why aren't you out there?"
"Skateboarding's not my thing punk," Johnny said. "Motorcycles all the way for me." He saw Robin. "How's it going Bird Boy?"
"Good actually," Robin said. "You?"
"Just layin' back and enjoying the show," he said. "And just so you know, I got myself a part time job. Minimum wage and its what I do best."
"Getting your butt kicked by Super Heroes?" Beast Boy asked.
Johnny glared at BB before continuing.
"Fixing bikes you stupid green elf. Three days a week; Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday. Got cash and everything. Even got myself a real dog."
"Great to see you've found your second calling Johnny," I said. "Maybe I'll find time to whip your ass like last time."
"I'd like to see you try Wolf Boy," Johnny said. "Without your little powers, you can't win. I bet you'll even loose this competition. So many of the competitors have either quit, were injured, or were taken out for low scores. Almost every team has lost. You've got Mumbo's, Mad Mod's, HIVE's, Slade's, and your team. But soon it'll just be Slade's, HIVE's, and your team left on the playing field."
"Okay Johnny," I said. "I'll make you a deal; if Slade wins, you can kick my butt, and mock me. Hell, you can even put me in the fricken hospital if you want. But if I win, you give me 200 $, a new helmet, and I get to kick your butt, and send you to jail. Take it or leave it Johnny, your choice."
I smirked at him, waiting for his answer.
"You got yourself a deal Wolf Boy."
We shook on it.
"See ya around Johnny."
I walked away, Courtney, Robin, and Lea right behind me, while the others went to get some drinks for themselves.
"I can't believe you bet Johnny something as stupid as beating each other's butts," Courtney said. "Why would you want to be in a hospital for anyways?"
"Just in case I some how manage to loose, which I won't, I rather be in a hospital than be Slade's Apprentice," I answered. "But I know that I can win. I'm me remember?"
"Let's just hope you can survive against our powers when Steven decides to use them against you," Lea said.
"I know a few new tricks that you don't know about yet guys," I said confidently. "I will win. I promise."
Courtney and Lea went back to the stands while Robin and I went towards the obstacle course. Steven and I glared at each other as I passed him. Johnny was right, Mumbo had one skater, Mad Mod had two, Slade had Steven, the HIVE had Gizmo and Mammoth, and I, was all that was left. Mammoth was first and he got injured half way in and forfeited. Next it was Billy Numerous from Mumbo's team. He also got injured. Then Kid Wykkyd from Mad Mod and some other guy went afterwards. Every single one of them got injured half way through, except Kid Wykkyd, who got a 93.
"Seems a little odd doesn't it?" Robin asked. "Everyone except Kid Wykkyd getting out at the same time?"
I looked over at Slade and Steven. Steven seemed to be smirking about something.
"I'll bet you anything it was Slade," I said. "But don't worry about it. In the end, I'll win."
It was Gizmo's turn next.
"Good luck little buddy!" Mammoth shouted.
Gizmo went towards the start up line.
"Yo Giz!"
I looked over at Steven.
"What is it Mexican punk?" Gizmo asked.
"I just wanted to say good luck out there little dude," Steven said, putting his fist out in an upward position.
Gizmo stared at it before bopping fists.
"You too dude."
Steven gave him a smile. I looked at him closely.
Are you really that evil Steven? Because you don't act it.
I leaned over the guard and Gizmo walked by.
"Hey Gizmo?"
"What do you want Cludge Head?" he asked angrily.
I pulled a ten out of my back pocket. I showed it to him.
"If you manage to stay in this whole thing, I'll give you this ten. But if you loose, I'll still give it to ya. What do you say?"
He took it and examined it.
"Deal Wolf Brat."
He handed it back and got to the starting line.
"That was nice of you," Robin said.
I stayed leaning over the guard, my arms crossed and my armpits on the guard and stayed smiling.
"Out of all the villains out there, Gizmo would be the coolest," I said. "Too bad he can't put those ten year old genius skills to good use."
The horn sounded and Gizmo took off.
"Hey yo Billy! Pass the corn dog!"
"Coming up Billy number two!"
Great. Billy just had to sit behind me on the stands.
"Yo Billy number four, pass me a soda!"
"Alright Billy number three!"
"Hey look Billy!" Billy number whatever shouted as I walked towards the stands. "Its Rocky Wolf! What's up?"
I jumped up onto the railing.
"Nothing really, but if you don't shut the fuck up, I'm gonna kick your ass. Okay Billy?"
Sweat formed on his forehead.
"Sorry about that Rocky Wolf. Okay Billies! Time to come back!"
All but one returned inside Billy Numerous.
"Thanks Billy."
I jumped down and returned to my spot. Gizmo made it with a 90.
"Gizmo may not be out yet, but let's see what Steven Ascensio can do!"
Gizmo came towards me after Steven congratulated him. I took out my ten, plus a free Dutch Bros. Coffee card.
"Good work Gizmo," I said. I gave him the ten and free coffee card. "You can buy any coffee or whatever at a Dutch Bros. Coffee house. But you can only find one in Oregon. Maybe I'll treat you later."
Gizmo gave me a big smile.
"This doesn't change anything though," he said. "I'm still gonna be a villain."
"And you'll always be the coolest one man."
He left and told Mammoth. I smiled.
"And Steven makes it with a 97!"
That smile fell.
"Gizmo is out," I said. "Its just Kid Wykkyd, Steven, and me now. I have to make a 95 or higher to face off against Steven in the race."
"And its your turn," Robin added. "Good luck."
"Rocky Wolf! You're up!"
I breathed in and back out again.
I'll need all the luck and skill I can get.
I got to the starting point and the horn sounded.
I went down the small ramp and towards the double ramp with the high wall. I did a kick flip halfway there. I got to the top of the ramp and did a handstand on the edge, holding onto the side of my board. I went back down and went to the high wall. I grabbed the edge and flipped over the end, landing on the other side. I did a grind on the metal rail and dropped to the ground. I put more momentum into my stride and aimed for the stairs. I kick flipped into the air and finished with a grind on the stairs with the nose of my board.
Time to show them my new trick.
I went towards another rail and did a grind and finished with a kick flip. I went towards the quarter pipe. I gained speed. I went up into the air did a 360, then what I liked to call The Free Fall, which was lazily going backwards twice, and landed upright on the edge and finished the quarter pipe with a grind from the middle on the bottom of my board. I gained more momentum, did a grind on the rail and finished off by jumping up onto the high wall and coming back down again. I went back to the starting point right as the horn sounded.
"Let's see what the judges have to say about this!" I looked up at the scoreboard. "A 98!"
Every cheered to that.
"Ha-hah! I knew you were my boy dawg!" M&M shouted.
"Woohoo! Go Rocky! Its your birthday!" Sheilee shouted.
I was breathing heavily, but managed to smile. I returned to the others to know my status.
"Dawg, you and Steven are tied right now!" M said happily. "Gizmo and Kid Wykkyd are out! And all you have left is the race!"
"At least you'll get a three hour break until the end," Alan said. "So what do you want to do?"
"Why don't you quit while you're ahead."
I turned around and Steven was behind me, looking teed off.
"Like I would," I said. "I will beat you in that race and then my friends, the Titans, and I will get our powers back and go on with our lives. Face it Steven, you have already lost."
"We'll just see about that now won't we," Steven said. He turned around and started walking off. "And just so you know, it doesn't say anywhere in the rule book that all competitors can't use their powers. You better watch yourself. Once you lose, you'll be Slade's Apprentice again."
He walked away and I glared after him.
"I'd like to see you try," I said. "I'll beat you and then kick your ass for stealing my powers."
(Fade to black)
Me: What do you think of my skate moves? Now I've never skateboarded before, so I had to do some research online for cool tricks and stuff. But let me know what you think. And it ain't over yet my readers. Next chapter gets a little more complicated for Rocky. But you'll just have to wait and see next chapter. Review!
Rocky-White Wolf of Curses (Who is still 16)
