Carlos Pov:
"So, a lot has changed with what has been going on since the sudden news of Mal deciding to be with Trick and Audrey going back with Ben. Half of the kingdom is going nuts as well wondering what the future will be like, a sudden as well disturbing condor attack on the isle which Uma and Gamma has everyone tensed up since this was the first ever attack that involved a strange like creature since Slug and Dough boy. Also that it's been days since I or anyone has seen Trick, Mal and especially Evie since the sudden change of relationships. I'm right now doing fine since all my friends graduated leaving me, Dude as well Jane in Auradon prep alone, but at least I get to see Harold and the other heroes in the heroes in training house since right now plenty of people trying to attend it. I'd like to do it, but I'm not exactly the VK to have strange like powers, strength or speed, but I do have a good mind to crack a computer as well that since I met my dad. He was able to teach me a few things about using my brain in a fight then physical strength, also he gave me several blueprints about things I could make to handle crowds of people along with something, shocking."
Walking Miley's costume store, which has been booming with sales as well everyone wanting to have a unique fashion sense of being wicked as well ready for everything. The pumpkin princess also made it her secret headquarters of establishing her gadgets, costume as well of several inventions her grandfather as well father were able to send to her if she continued this process of being a masked hero. Carlos, was walking with Dude as the dog was right now looking around at the sights sniffing the floor smelling candy.
Dude: "Oh, there sweets at the place. Can I have some of those pumpkin cookies Miley made?"
Asking curious as well hungry which Carlos couldn't help as those cookies of her can sometimes make anyone fill full as well tasted sweet. He nodded but Dude would have to be careful since it causes gas, they walk to the costume store where they saw most of the decorations around the place with a Halloween like style with bats across the top. Pumpkins with different types of faces which involved symbols of her friends such as Mal's dragon, Evie's tiara and even Carlos's crossbones. Especially a cauldron that made strawberry scented smoke as it filled the room with a sweet aroma, walking over to the counter he looked around to see if Miley was around. Not seeing a light red haired girl but saw someone else, a small like male VK who was right now running across the place webbing the inside of the store making it scary as much as possible.
Carlos: "Streak?"
Asking him as the hat wearing boy making him looking at the white haired boy as Streak merely nodded his head as he didn't have time to talk as he was busy like a black cat avoiding to get it's tail cut off.
Carlos: "So ugh, anything going up?"
Streak: "Up? Well the fact is that it's relieving that I don't have many jobs back on the isle since Auradon's sending it's own people to attend there. Which I consider them all screwed since they won't last a day, also that these people are picky."
Responding in a rather upsetting see how it was true, most people in Auradon had a rather odd taste in things such as how to eat normal. As well of dressing royalty like for any kind of moment, especially that of going to the bathroom. Continuing to make the store as scary as possible, this type of environment reminded him of the party that Mal's hosted to terrify Zevon as Dude couldn't help at a fake black cat seeing how it looked like a actual cat.
Carlos: "So have you seen Miley? I got some questions to ask about something top secret."
Curious about where she was which Streak nodded as he leads him into the back, Dude follows seeing how that Cat was giving him a look which he was ready to chew on the black cat if it continued to give him that stare. Heading to the back of the counter, they noticed that of a iron maiden with the appearance of Jack Skellignton as well with fiery eyes as well with a black cloak, it gave off a eerie like expression until Carlos noticed of something happening inside. Hearing several mechanisms going off inside of the maiden, Dude began to bark in a protective manner until they noticed of it opening making Dude get behind Carlos. The cover opens up showing of Miley, who right now wearing her standard clothing as well combed her hair as she smiled at Carlos being here.
Miley: "Carlos! It's good to see you again."
Getting excited like which she rushed over and hugs her, however Carlos could noticed that of her getting a bit more stronger as well much more taller. He couldn't help but get a bit nervous at how tall she's gotten recently which Miley noticed as she lets go of him.
Miley: "Sorry, recently I've been patrolling Auradon as well the isle with that recent attack by Condor. Had to keep a eye out for anyone else who might want to attack, also that I had to be, serious."
Showing a look in his eyes making him a bit intimidated by how Miley appeared as her eyes were full of fear as making him a bit scared like. Miley, noticed which made her move making smiling in a friendly expression.
Streak: "She has trouble snapping out of that 'Holiday stare' of hers. But still, makes everyone pee's their pants once they see the look on her face."
Making a joke as well laugh a bit but Carlos and Miley didn't laugh which made the Vk sidekick look a bit embarrassed seeing how he ruined the moment. She also noticed that of his backpack with several blueprints as well supplies which made her curious about what he had brought to her.
Carlos: "Oh, i was curious if you can't help me but. I need some help making something, it could help with you making sure Auradon is safe. My dad, gave them to me when we left his dimension."
Asking her of the favor as Miley was curious about it, looking at the well detailed plans as well of how they looked. It looked a bit drastic, but with a slight few modifications. They could help with making sure the kingdom could be safe, going over to the iron maiden. She opens it again revealing several spikes as they soon disappear, opening a secret entrance showed of a stairway as Carlos and Dude looked a bit shocked at the sight of it.
Dude: "Wow, nice closet."
Telling Miley as she escorts the three downstairs as she closes the store to figure out what exactly Carlos needed help with, as well curious about how this invention which her father, a highly intellectual as well dangerous person who had robotic tentacles on his back hand Carlos. A lovable as well one of the most trustful Vk's of the isle something that might either help them, or possibly doom Auradon and be a means to be used for evil. Miley only hope this invention his father gave him wasn't like a explosive, or that of something big and could destroy a house.
In Miley's basement
Coming down from the stairway, Carlos was soon introduced to that of Miley's very own base of operation that had tons of tech that could help him make his invention. The place had tons of things including several tools that can help him make the device, a computer which monitored the land as well a few thumbnails that showed criminals at large who were involved in criminal activity as well dealt with stolen magical items. Some of her suits that were in cases which were on mannequins ready to be suited up as most of them were different. All of them having a theme such as Halloween, Christmas as well of her father's look which had his scarecrow like appearance as well with brass knuckles.
Carlos: "Wow, I think you might make Trick cry with this type of scenery. It's like out of a comic book."
Being astounded with how much she was able to get from her family as well the information she was able to collect from the kingdom, this made the princess blush a bit seeing how that was a accomplishment Miley never believed she receive. Heading over to the table, Carlos opened up the blueprint showing of two hand made gauntlets design for Carlo's size as well a suit that matched it. Streak, looked over it as he couldn't help but whistle at the look as they apparently matched quite amazing.
Streak: "Never thought your old man could think of a style for you, but why? Don't you exactly wanted a normal job? Like working for computers or something?"
Asking him seeing that it was true, Carlos wanted to be one of the best inventors of Auradon as well help advance the computers as well technology of the kingdom as well help out the Isle with their tech problems.
Carlos: "Yes, but I also don't want to be on the sidelines anymore. Sure, I'm able to help out with fighting with the others when it comes down to it. But now with what I know, learning about other people who stand above the natural threats we've faced along with there more dangers in the world. I want to be ready, not just for me, but everyone else."
Giving him a full explanation behind this reason to bare this sudden occupation of wearing mask, it wasn't a trend which anyone could do since it relied on some people with special abilities or a set of skills everybody don't have. But this time, he could do something that didn't involve him watching everyone fight. Miley could understand that very well, looking at the designs of the suit as well gauntlets. They were apparently some kind of seismic like devices that could deliver a powerful burst of energy, not lethal but could send someone right through the wall. Also that it had a name, the suit and gauntlets were original made for a man called 'shocker', a man who Carlos was told that worked for his father. Since his teammate showed time that he couldn't use these properly along with getting beaten multiple times, they could be useful for Carlos as well be used for a proper use.
Miley: "Well, luckily these gauntlets have a type of control on how powerful the blasts are. It might be possible your dad knew you didn't want to hurt anyone but knock them out, that's considerate. Seeing how he makes Ursula a bit nicer to see with her tentacles, but I think I can help with making them. But it matters on how much you can withstand the feedback, do you really want to do this?"
Asking her friend which Carlos merely nodded without a moments notice, he's always thought about his actions as well figuring out how he could help his friends out in dangerous situations. This was a way he could, as well be something more then what he was before. With this, Miley knew they had a long morning to get this done as well fully ready to be used. But it be quite exciting to see what it might look like once it's fully completed, grabbing a box of tools as well a book and pencil, they begun to get right to work.
Three hours have passed since Carlos went to Miley's store to work on the suit, they had to get some pieces of metal that could withstand the seismic like force the gauntlets would produce. Along with how it wouldn't hurt Carlos hands which was a challenge, as the two were almost finished with them. Miley as well Carlos looked at the metal gauntlets as they couldn't help but admire the style as Carlos placed one of them on as he looked at it. Streak, was right now focused on working on the costume as it was able to get the color patterns of red, black and white spots as well a mask that was breathable as well would make Carlos look bad ass.
Streak: "Now I got a question, if your dad. The octopus man with the metal tentacles, who gave you this seemingly powerful set of gloves to use for something heroic. Why didn't he give you those cool tentacles that could help out with Auradon? I mean, those could seriously put the whole collection of maids and butlers of Beast's castle to shame."
Thinking about it as well could imagine the money he could make with the tentacles if he had his own set of tentacles, while he was on his own chair he would be able to clean dishes as well his homework without raising a finger. Though the look on Carlos was something serious as he lowered his head seeing how whatever he said made Carlos ignore the idea.
Carlos: "Otto, my dad told me about the tentacles he had on his back. They aren't a piece of technology he could remove, their attached to him. They became a part of him after a accident, although they have given him tremendous strength, they had a mind of their own as well made him sick. Although he is dangerous, he would never want someone else to suffer what he's going through, especially his own son."
Explaining about why Otto gave him the shocker gauntlets then his designs for a set of tentacles for him, checking out the gauntlet he saw how they looked ready to be used. Miley, putting up a mannequin near a wall ready to be fired on. Carlos, begins to set it as well aim directly at the statue. Focusing on not missing, he closed his hands as he grips the handle of the gauntlet making a powerful burst of high tensity of air and frequency which sent Carlos flying to the ground as well hitting the mannequin making it blasted into pieces. The others got shocked by this as Dude rushed over to see if he was alright, the white haired boy nodded he was fine but couldn't help but smile at how the gauntlet work.
Carlos: "Maybe they might need a slight change at how much energy I give off."
Looking at the gauntlets as he didn't feel any harm from it, he touched the side of the metallic like gauntlet not afraid of it as he smiles at the gift his father had given him. Holding them close, the two couldn't help but see how this wasn't just a weapon for him to use, but something that could help the kingdom as well make him be more then what he is now. However the moment passed as they heard a alarm going off, Miley looked at the monitor showing a group of bandits stealing several paintings from a museum. Carlos, looked at Miley as she thought what he was thinking was a bad idea, they didn't know what might happen.
Dude: "Guys? Bad guys chasing people!"
Barking at the two as there was no time to debate, Carlos looked at the suit Streak made as he looked to him seeing if it was ready. Streak nodded as Miley felt like he wasn't going to stop, she could see that VK spirit coming out as there was no point as she had to keep a eye on him as well make sure he wouldn't get hurt in the process of this 'experiment'.
Later in a village.
The bandits right now were making a run for it as well heading into the woods to loose the authorities, right now it seemed easy for them seeing how that not many people would notice them along with not that much protection. They were in the middle of a open part where no one could find them as the bushes were able to cover them, each of the members were that of green skin orcs as well humans who couldn't help but celebrate about how easy it was.
"All these portraits, just there for us to take. Thought that masked Jack;o lantern for cyborg would be after us, but no. Just a easy pay day for us all."
The human leader spoke to his gang as they couldn't help but agree with him, as they celebrated about how this thievery was easy. One of them began to hear the sound of that of a jack in the box like tune being played right now, a orc member looked over to see where it was coming from as it was from a tree. Walking over, he happens to the box with a toy on top showing a smiling pumpkin. The tune stops as it opened that of a black widow puppet as it freaks out the man moving back, which didn't give him time to notice of the sudden arrival of a caped individual coming down from a tree and kicking him right with the others. The group got up to see what did it as it was Holiday girl who did a heroic landing as she looked at the group of men surrounding her.
Miley: "Halloween is coming up in several weeks, should wear the masks when the holiday comes up, But I guess you guys want to show off that look in prison."
Thinking of a remark for the looks as the men couldn't help but chuckle at how she appeared to them acting like if she was Trick, so far it wasn't happening as the leader walked in front of the group not afraid of her.
"Listen little girl, you can play dress up if you like. But you should never do it with the big boys, who have better accessories with them."
As they all pulled out handheld weaponry pointed at her, for some cases this would make her afraid. But with how much she has faced, this was nothing but felt like practice for her. This time it was different, this was for Carlos as the group heard a humming like sound. Before the men could react, a powerful thrust of energy was fired upon them making their weapons fly right out their hands hitting a near by puddle. The men didn't know who had done this strange action as they looked to the side noticing the suspect, having a familiar color pattern of red with black and white spots. A fur like collar across the neck. Wearing two metallic grey like gauntlets as well a suit to continue the pattern. He had on a pair of custom made goggles over his eyes as the VK merely smirks at the villains with a expression of pride which made them a bit shocked knowing it was one of those other teens with strange powers.
"Hey, it's that VK kid. Carlos, he can't do any..."
Not getting a chance to make a remark, Carlos soon fires a small like blast that sends him flying across the group as well hits the ground unconscious like.
Carlos: "Yeah, I'm also the VK who can now shoot energy blasts from his hands now as well has a dad who is one of the smartest people in the city. Wanna say anything else?"
Making a remark as the men decided to resort to daggers, charging at the two teens both Miley and Carlos soon begin to spring into action avoiding the attacks. Carlos was in the heat of battle avoiding being stabbed, but so far him wearing this suit as well the adrenaline was helping him move fast. Miley, being a expert to this quickly took out half of her men. Saw of Carlos who was using his prows to let the men hit each other by accident as well use his seismic gloves to take out the men one by one, she couldn't help but smile as one of the men was about to get the upper hand and stab Carlos. However the young boy wanted to try something as slammed both of his hands together making a powerful shockwave making everyone drop to the ground except for Miley who went into a tree to avoid the attack. The white haired boy looked at the ground surprised by how he took down half of a group of bandits, Carlos soon cheers a bit excited throwing his hands in the air in a triumphant like manner.
Carlos: "Score for the smart guys!"
Which made Miley drop by his side giving him a look seeing how she helped him with the gear as he meant smart 'team; which made her nodded seeing how he fixed his words. Looking at the portraits the people stole, Miley handled with tying up the men while Carlos made sure they were all collected.
Miley: "So, are you going to continue this? Be like us?"
Asking Carlos about this choice of his, when Trick started this he never expected to become this popular as well a target for every kind of individual who might want to fight him. He did it for the thrill, Miley does it for the protection of her friends and loved ones, there were two different types of individuals who used their skills to protect Auradon.
Carlos: "I'm not like Trick or Gamma, I'm more like Harold and you. Meaning I might want to join the Heroes in Training, because I think it's going to get bigger."
Believing that if there's going to be more crooks like these running about with the barrier down as well a chance for new enemies and villains to try and make a name for themselves, it be best to have people ready as well in the right type of attire going to protect the kingdom, no matter how small the situation might be.
