Chapter 5: End of Danger (Part 2)

"Whoahhh," Charlotte said when they saw the machine. "It looks super cool now," Henry said in awe.

"Just step into the mashin and let me vork my magic," Schwoz said. "Kk," Henry said then he stepped into the machine with Ray.

"Push buttons, pull lever, press big button and... Fizzle," he said while he did so. A blue light flicked inside the machine as Ray and Henry screamed inside. "Are you sure they're okay in there?" Charlotte asked.

"Uh... No. The mashin is scanning making copies of all their organs. Off course they're not ok," Schwoz answered.

"I mean how do you think paper feels when you copy it?" Schwoz added. "I don't think paper feels pain," Charlotte returned.

"Well it does, ok? And..." Schwoz stopped as the machine did, Ray and Henry stopped screaming. The machine door opened. Ray and Henry stepped out.

"Where are your clones?" Jasper asked. "So it didn't vork?" Charlotte also asked mimicking Schwoz who glared at her.

"Those are the clones," another Ray said stepping out.

"Yeah. Schwoz, you could've mentioned the machine is painful!" the real Henry, who was beside himself with pain yelled.

"Yeah Schwoz!" Ray returned. "I mean... I'm okay! But you should've told us!" he added. "So how can we be sure they're like the real Captain Man and Kid danger?" Jasper asked.

"Easy, ahsk them anyshin", Schwoz said. "Kid Danger! Captain Man! Save me!" Jasper acted. "Kk", the Henry clone said.

"Let's chew... And do," the Ray clone said

Ray clone- Where are the gum balls?

Henry clone- How should I know?

"Whoa," the others went. "They're so like you two, it's creepy," Jasper said.

"Before we send them off..." Charlotte began. The guys groaned. "This is the part where you give us a reason why we shouldn't do something," Henry said.

"It's too dangerous, what if something goes wrong?" Ray mimicked.

Charlotte rolled her eyes, "what if there's a mix-up? What if we can't differentiate the real Ray and Henry from the clones?"

"That's easy, I can make another gum that makes their costumes have a 'C' on them. C for colognes," Schwoz said.

"You see little Miss Worrywart, there's nothing to be worried about. Charlotte sighed "OK"

*15 minutes later*

"I've got a better idea," Henry said just as they enter the bank. "What?" clone Ray asks.

"Instead of going in teams, let's go in pairs," he answered. "How do you mean?" Ray inquired.

"Captain Man, you and your clone go in and face Doctor Minyak while clone Kid danger and I get the people in the bank out," he explained. "Yeah..." Ray said. "Let's go," he added.

*In the bank*

"Do you really think that Captain Man and Kid danger will give up themselves to save these people?" Nurse Cohort asked.

"They are superheros so I can count on it. They'll do anything to save their beloved people and we'll use that against them!" he replied with a chuckle.

"Hold it right there Minyak!" 'Captain Man' interrupted. "Well, well, well. If it isn't Swellview's own dumb superhero, Captain Dork!" Minyak said mockingly.

"Ohhhhhh you want to throw insults huh? Doctor Fake British accent!" he returned. Minyak gasped, "I'll have you know I was born and brought up in London thank you!"

"Enough talk, time to beat you up," he said. "Nurse Cohort and I can take you. Right? Nurse... Co... Hort?" Minyak stuttered looking around and realizing his sidekick wasn't there.

He groaned and proceeded fighting Captain Man. It continued till he threw him out of the window.

"See ya Captain Dork!" he said and suddenly he saw Captain Man at the door. "But... I just... Oh forget it," he stuttered then lunged at Captain Man.

The clone came back in through the window and punched Minyak from behind.

Minyak- Hang on... You...

Clone Captain Man- Uh huh

Minyak- You...

Real Captain Man- Yeahhhh

Minyak- Th... There... There's two of you

Real and Clone Captain Man- yes!

Minyak groaned and passed out. "You guys got him! Great! I'll text clone me to tell the cops to come and arrest him," Henry said.

*The next day at Henry's house*

Henry, Piper and Charlotte were watching Drake and Josh when the door bell rang.

"Piper get the door!" Henry's dad called from the kitchen. "I don't wanna get the door, I'm busy watching TV!" she yelled.

"Henry you get the door," Mr Hart said. Henry groaned, "but dadddd". "Hey! Do what your father says and GET THE DOOR!" Piper yelled.

Henry literally jumped off the chair, "fine I'll get it." "Hey Henry," it was Ray. "Jeez Ray what are you doing here?" he inquired.

"Is it against the law to visit one's employee?" Ray asked with a smug smile on his face. "On a completely unrelated note, is your mom home?" he added.

"Ray!" Henry scolded. "Hi," Mrs Hart said coming downstairs. "Hello, Mrs Hart," Ray said pushing past Henry.

"Hey is this the Harts residence?" a mail man asked startling Henry. "Yeah," Henry replied. "I have a package for... Henry Hart," the mailman added.

"That's me," Henry said nodding. He signed for the package, took it and closed the door. "What's that?" Charlotte asked. "I think it's the H.A.U. package," Henry replied.

"Oh I got mine last week. I got in!" Charlotte announced. He opened the package and saw the acceptance letter and some other items.

"I got in!" he shouted excitedly and hugged Charlotte. "Got in where?" Ray asked. "Oh the Hollywood Arts University," Henry's dad answered. "But that's in LA," Ray said slowly.

"Yes it is in LA... Oh.." Henry groaned in realization. "Henry did you forget to tell your boss you're leaving for school in two months?" Mrs Hart asked.

"What? Two months?!" Ray queried. "I know," Henry sighed. "B-B-But you can't leave!" Ray burst out then stormed out.

"Your boss is weird," Piper said then Charlotte and Henry dashed out after Ray. "Yep everyone's a weirdo," Piper groaned

*Back at the man cave*

"what are you kids doing here? Don't you have school to prepare for?" Ray asked feigning disinterest.

"Ray. We wanted to tell you but we just forgot," Henry explained. "You're my sidekick... How can you be my sidekick if you're in LA?" Ray queried.

"I don't know ok. I just really wanted to go to a school for the Arts and Swellview doesn't have one," he defended. "Proves how selfish you are," Ray seethed.

"How do you mean?" Charlotte asked.

"Henry and Ray did cheat Henry's dad out of a good job by exshploding the frittle factory in Border town cause he didn't vant to shtop being a sidekick. Now he vants to school in LA thousands of miles from here. Shows you'll only abandon being Kid danger if itsh beneficial to you," Schwoz elucidated.

"It's not like that at all. I love being Kid danger but I can't put my life on hold just to be a superhero. I have other dreams. I can't spend the rest of my life waiting for an emergency call to come in so I can save someone. Even if I went to college here it would affect my schooling. I'm 19 Ray, I don't want this to be my life," Henry cried.

"Kinda like mine is? You don't think I have dreams? I wanted to be a doctor or a teacher but I became this cause I had no choice. I didn't chose to be Captain Man but I did anyway and protecting the people of Swellview is the only thing I know," Ray said.

"I know Ray but I'm sorry I can't be your sidekick anymore," Henry stated. Schwoz, Charlotte and Bork gasped.

"Fine, place your watch on the table," Ray said. "I'm not leaving till mid September you can stop by my house any time," Henry invited after dropping the watch.

"I'll be very busy," Ray said dismissively. "Oh ok. So this is the end then?" Henry asked no one in particular.

"I'm afraid so," Ray said and went to his room. Charlotte and Henry hugged Schwoz and Bork then left the man cave.
