Chapter 3
Sportacus arrived at the scene of the trouble to find the Mayor in a bit of trouble. Milford was hanging onto a branch of the tree that sat in Bessie's yard.
"Trimming again?" The above average hero called as he grabbed the fallen ladder and put it back up against the tree. Quickly, he climbed it and grabbed the Mayor. With one swift move, they were back on the ground.
"Oh thank you Sportacus." Milford said as he steadied himself.
"You're welcome but I thought I said that you should call me when you needed to trim the tree." The above average hero told him.
"I know but you were keeping the kids occupied and I didn't want to bother you." The Mayor said.
"It's not a bother, it's my job. Next time just call me, ok?" Sportacus smiled. Milford nodded and the blue sports elf took off.
Stephanie, Pixel, and Ziggy were playing a video while Trixie and Stingy were watching when Sportacus arrived at the Gizmo Guy's house.
"Who's winning?" He asked.
"I am." Pixel said happily.
"Not anymore." Stephanie smirked as her car took the lead in the racing game.
"Hey, why am I going backwards?" Ziggy asked.
"Time." Pixel hit pause and he showed the candy eating youngster what he was doing wrong.
"Everybody ok?" Stephanie asked since there was a break in the action.
"Your Uncle was trying to be handy again but he's fine." Sportacus smiled. The pink haired girl rolled her eyes.
"Thanks." She said, giving him a hug.
"No problem." The above average hero told her, a little surprised.
"We're all set, Steph. You still wanna play?" Pixel asked.
"Of course, I have to finish the butt whooping." She teased.
"Well you guys have fun and I'll see you later." Sportacus smiled and took off.
WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
Robbie smiled as he got the last of the pieces together for the Weather Infuser 6000. Looking over at the clock, he realized that it was too late for him to start the machine. Clapping his hands, the villain watched as a little train car came down from the ceiling. He hooked the Weather Infuser up to it and clapped his hands again. Robbie watched as the car followed the track he had built up the tube and toward the outside. After a few minutes it could see it stop and he climbed up the tunnel himself. When he reached the Infuser, he realized that he hadn't accounted for the space he would need to climb past the machine and out the top of the tube.
Mumbling under his breath, Robbie managed to awkwardly climb around the Infuser and push open the tube's lid. It was then that he realized he wasn't going to be able to lift the machine out and place it on the ground.
"I should have built more track." He said. Clapping his hands, he watched as the cart went back down the tube. After making sure it had traveled far enough, Robbie let go of the ladder and flew down the tube. He flew out of the end of the pipe, bounced off the Infuser, and skidded to a halt on the hard floor.
"Owww!" He cried out. That had really hurt. Ten minutes of crying and whining went by before Robbie dared to pick himself up off the floor. Realizing he had to get back on task, he limped over to his tool set and got to work.
