Anyway, this is going to be the chapter with the start. Here we see Jack leaving the Tennyson Team, and going back to Jasper.
(Jack`s POV)
I am finally going back to the city i lived in for most of my life. I liked every second of my summer camp time with my cousins, Ben and Gwen. It was fun, parties every summer, then school where 2 bullies thought they own the school, and then me and Ben destroyed their fantasy. Learning magic with Gwen and Ben, meeting Kevin and beating my new worst enemy, Vilgax, using a watch that came from space and let`s me transform into aliens.
Freaky, but nothing I could do. Now I am moving back in the city, on my own. Got enough money from work, but I will also take another job here, because why not? I still have my job, but helping some people here would help me making some new friends. I have a month before my best friend Kevin and my cousins come to visit. I think I saw a restaurant or something, maybe a KFC, wouldn`t hurt to get some burgers.
Maybe I also find some Mr. Smoothie, best drink ever.
(K.O. Burger)
These burgers look very good, and they smell better than those fries that Ben is eating. Obviously not telling him that. Anyway, I could get a job here. Food is good and the people here are nice. And then I can learn for my last year of school back here. I loved the school in Bellwood, but I hope school here is still as good as it was back when I lived here.
(Few days later...)
I am just getting out from school, when I see Vince, the school bully,making fun of a shorter kid with spiked hair and glasses. I think his name is Rafael. Anyway, since noone wants to help, it looks like I will have to.
"Hey Vince! Let the kid alone" I shouted at the redhead.
He turns back, grins and says.
"Go away Darby, it`s between me and four-eyes here."
I go to him and catch his hand before he has the chance to hit Rafael and I look in his eyes.
"Let. Him. Alone." I reply to the bully a bit angry.
Vince scoffs, looks at the others and nods.
They then all come towards me. I immediatelly realize they want to beat me because I interfered with their bullying.
Vince looks at me for one second and they shouts.
"Get him!"
I jump to the side when one of the bullies jumps at me, trying to hit me in the face. Vince then comes running at me and tackles me to the floor. I get him off me and then get up, right before one of them hits the spot where I was with his leg. I look at them and then at Vince and say.
"Stop Vince. If you continue, you will regret it." I say while glaring at them all, while also looking around, seeing that Rafael is safe and the Japanese girl is recording the fight.
They just all yell and come at me at the same time. I jump back, hitting Vince in the chest with my leg, sending him back. Then the other 2 boys start throwing punches at me. I dodge and when I get my oppening, I hit the blonde one in the side, sending him on the ground. The other one then hits me in the back, and I have to dodge another kick. I run forward, towards a tree, with him coming after me.
Vince starts laughing and says.
"What happened Darby, already chickening out of the fight?" A few of the others in the back start saying things like "come back", "show him who is boss, Jack" or just cheering on me.
When I get to the tree, I run on it for a second, then backflip and end in the back of the teen, hitting him in the back and making him hit the tree, knocking him out.
I turn to see Vince looking at me with his mouth agape while a few other teens cheer on me.
I go to Vince, he is coming towards me, and we start fighting. To end the fight faster, I jump to the side, hit him in the ribs, then go to his back, take him by the neck and blocking him from moving.
"Do you give up?" I ask Vince.
Vince, seeing he is blocked in that position and can`t move, sighs and then says.
"Fine, I give."
I let him go, and go to get my backpack to go home. Then I hear running coming from behind me and when I turn I see Vince coming towards me trying to hit me down. I drop my backpack back on the ground, get in position, then when he is near me I grab him by the shirt and then I throw him on the ground and put my foot on him, letting him know that I won. So much fighting the villains during the summer did me good.
I then look to the others and lift my arm, letting them all know I am the winner of this fight. They start cheering and all come near me to take photos. Apparently I am a hero. If they knew.
The Japanese girl, Miko I think, comes at me with the kid I saved and we change numbers. Then I remember that Miko recorded the fight and told her to tag me when she posts it on the Internet.
I get home, I take out my laptop and look for the videos and there it is. 12 million views already? It was just 15 minutes ago. Looks like I am famous, just hoping Kevin doesn`t find the video. Or worse, Gwen.
I then call Raf and Miko to come at me and play some games and watch a movie. We ended playing Halo 3 for the next 4 hours, but it was Friday, so no school for tomorrow. It was 6 pm now. I ask my new friends if they want to stay over for tonight. They called their parents to let them know they will stay over at me and then they came back in the living room.
I then tell them that I lived here once, 5 years ago, with my mother, that she died and then I lived with my cousin, Ben. Then I told them about the summer trips we were going on, obviously letting the alien stuff out. Telling them about my best friend Kevin and my cousins, Ben and Gwen.
Right after I sayd Gwen`s name, my phone went off and guess who it was.
"Guys, please make silence for a few minutes, Gwen is calling me." I then answer and go.
"Hey Gwen, how are you?"
Gwen just says in an autoritary tone.
"Jack, what is with this video I found. It says "Jack Darby defeats bullies in Jasper Nevada.". You can`t just go and fight anyone you want to!"
I just roll my eyes and reply.
"Well sorry, Mom! I didn`t know I can`t help someone, and they tried to hit me first so that is self-defence. Anyway can we talk later? I have someone over."
Miko takes that as her chance and grinning, looks at Raf then at me. We both realize what she is going to do so, while I go pale, Raf giggles silently.
Miko then lets out a fake moan that makes me go more white and then I hear Gwen say.
"JACK! What are you doing there? Should I tell Grandpa Max?" You could hear her blush while speaking.
"No! Calm down, Miko is just trying to be funny, we are not doing anything of that here. Plus, we have a 12 year old in here, it would ruin him."
Gwen then replies to me.
"Okay, I believe you. See you in 3 weeks. Bye!"
"Bye Gwen!"
