Ch.2 Attack at Midtown High
Bashenga arrived in America a couple days later, he was set up with a small house. Already stocked with necessities and a hidden room where he can call home using his Kimoyo beads.
Today was his first day at Midtown High and he hopes he can keep a low profile, as low a profile as a crowned prince can maintain, cover story has already been made. Bashenga couldn't say he was the prince of Wakanda so he went with his mother's native land of Kenya.
"Ok first day at an American school, should be interesting." Bashenga said to himself as he retrieved his bag and than walked out the door. The bus stop was only a block away from his house so he made good time. As he walked he looked into a store selling TVs and on them showed a bald man with goggles wearing Kevlar and a type of backpack with a gun attached to it, fighting a red and blue themed person. Bashenga already knew who they were, the bald man is Trapster a member of the Frightful Four and the other is Spider-Man or the Amazing Spider-Man as he was known to call himself.
"The Spider shows promise, he has the capabilities to be something great if he focuses." Bashenga thought with an amused grin as he watched the web slinger get stuck to a building. But he was able to get loose and destroy the Trapsters weapon. Bashenga got on the bus ready to start his first day at Midtown. As he arrived at the school he noticed it had a big fence and a lot of surveillance cameras, this made Bashenga suspicious.
"Guess safety is a priority for the students, best be on my guard." Bashenga thought as he went inside. He received his locker number as soon as he walked inside so he went straight to it and put his jacket inside, as he was about to close it he sensed someone behind him he grabbed the hand and twisted it.
"Hey ease up man, that hurts." The person said, as Bashenga got a closer look at the person he noticed he had short brown hair, a white t shirt and blue short sleeved button shirt. Bashenga released him quickly.
"I am terribly sorry I was surprised." Bashenga apologized quickly, the kid twisted his wrist to get a little bit of feeling back into it. Once he stopped he smiled at Bashenga.
"It's alright I should have at least announced myself, my names Peter Parker what's yours." Peter asked as he held his hand out, Bashenga grasped it and shook it with a smile of his own.
"My name is Bashenga Munroe I am a transfer student from the Republic of Kenya." Bashenga replied using his mother's name as she taught him.
"Cool a transfer student, what made you want to come to Midtown?" Peter asked curious about Bashenga. Bashenga decided to tell him partly the truth instead of an outright lie.
"It was my mother's suggestion she went to school in the US and wanted me to experience it first hand." Bashenga replied to Peters question not seeing the harm in telling him. All of a sudden someone called Peters name and as the two turned a red haired teenage, she was wearing a black leather jacket, blue pants and a short sleeved shirt under the jacket, judging by how they interact it was safe to assume they are friends.
"Bashenga this is my friend Mary Jane but I call her MJ for short." Peter said introducing his friend to the new student. Bashenga grasped Mary Janes hand and shook it.
"It is a pleasure to meet you Mary Jane, my name is Bashenga Munroe." Bashenga introduced himself to her, like Peter she was very friendly.
"It's nice to meet you to Bashenga you can call me MJ if you like." MJ said to him, Bashenga nodded accepting her proposal of using her nickname. As they continued to converse Peter pointed out another friend of his Harry Osborn, Peter explained how Harry was well liked by everyone and how he was the son of Norman Osborn, Bashenga heard of Norman Osborn he tried to convince his father to sell some Vibranium to him but T'Challa told him no and later that night an intruder was caught sent by Osborn to steal some Vibranium. T'Challa with the Dora Milaje went to Oscorp and threatened to not only expose Osborn's secrets to the world but to have him executed, let's just say Norman never tried to get Vibranium again.
"Oh puny Parker, it's locker knocker time." A blonde muscle bound jock wearing a Midtown high football team jacket was coming down the hall. Peter told Bashenga that was Flash Thompson and that he was bullying Peter since kindergarten.
Just as Flash went to grab Peter Bashenga grabbed the bullies arm, Flash looked at the offender and was scared for his life he thought it was just the fear but he swore the new guys eyes flashed amber with slits before going back to normal.
"I don't like bullies, especially when they target my friends. This 'locker knocker' time ends today or you will deal with me." Bashenga threatened the jock and then promptly shoved him in a locker with everyone who witnessed it laughing.
"Whoa thanks man,no noone ever stood up for me like that." Peter said giving Bashenga a high five.
"Being a pacifist is good Peter, but there will always be a time for action. Bashenga replied with a smile.
The day continued, and it was finally lunch time, Bashenga luckily packed a lunch because the food served by the staff looked like a mad scientist experiment. The day went on and Bashenga went to all his classes. The teachers were surprised by how smart Bashenga was being a new student and everything. Being the prince of a wealthy hidden kingdom and having access to the best tutors has its perks. Finally, it was time for lunch and boy was Bashenga happy he packed, the lunch looked like something out of an old sci fi horror movie. Bashenga decided to sit with his new friends, that way people won't start calling him a loner. He already made an enemy of flash judging by the looks he was receiving.
"Dude locker knocker time again, Thompson's such a tool." Harry said before realizing he was in front of the school staff and started to push Peter down the line all the while giving an awkward smile.
"If that's the worst thing that happens to me today, I'm coming out ahead." Peter replied, just when he was about to take a bite of his food he froze and dropped his fork, Bashenga was curious about the look but then he felt his senses become on edge, like something bad was about to happen.
Then the wall behind Peter and Bashenga exploded launching both boys, Peter angled hisself and caught both Harry and Mary Jane. Bashenga was launched further and thanks to his reflexes he flipped in midair and landed on his feet with his eyes glowing an amber color and slitted, he looked at the now hole in the cafeteria wall and noticed three figures.
One was a man floating in the air, he wore a purple armored costume with a black visor and three circular disks one on his head, chest and waist he is known as Wizard his real name is Bentley Wittman from what was learned about him he only became a criminal to gain attention back on hisself.
The other was a tall woman wearing a one sleeve red and yellow crop top bearing her toned stomach and tight pants of a matching color on her head was a tiara her name is Thundra she came from Earth-715 where she proved her martial prowess in her world and came to this dimension to fight the strongest hero. She came to Wakanda and challenged T'Challa she had the strength but T'Challa fought many enemies with similar powers, she lost and then offered herself to him but Storm promptly beat the crap out of her and threatened to kill her if she came back, it was rumored that she went to fight Hulk and lost its unknown if she gave him the same offer.
The last Bashenga knew all too well he had a red, black and purple suit, his eyes were red and a type of prosthetic hand it was Ulysses Klaw also known as Klaw he was a Sonic Physicist that came to Wakanda with mercenaries to get vibranium for his experiments when T'Chaka who was king at that time refused his request he was gunned down. Bashenga let out a growl upon seeing the man that caused nothing but pain to his family by killing his grandfather.
While everyone was distracted by the supervillain team he quietly exited the cafeteria, when he was a good distance away and lifted his shirt showing a panther headed belt. Bashenga's clothes then became coffered by a nano like substance that covered his feet, legs and torso before enveloping his face leaving his mouth bare and showing his slit amber eyes. He then pressed a button on his Kimoyo beads causing a clawed gauntlet to appear on his right forearm and a matching one on his left. Now suited up he got ready to return to the cafeteria, when he heard a loud scream of pain. He quickly rushed back to the cafeteria to see Klaw firing his sound weapon at Peter while Harry and Mary Jane watched powerless to help him.
"Shut it down, I'll talk, I'll Talk," Peter screamed in agony while covering his ears trying to block out the high frequency sound wave.
Bashenga then quickly took out one of the items on his belt, he held a small gold sphere in his hand, made by his Aunt Shuri she called them Desert Sands once thrown they can unleash a micro-burst cloud of EMP disruptors. He threw the sphere in Klaws direction shorting out his sound weapon.
"Who are you." Wizard demanded seeing the masked man, Thundra's eyes widened and Klaw's did as well.
"PANTHER!" Klaw and Thundra shouted at the same time, surprised to see who they think is the King of Wakanda.
"Wrong the names Coal Tiger and I think it's time for you to leave." Bashenga said he then turned to Klaw.
"Except for you, I don't know how you survived Klaw but your time in this world is over." Coal Tiger said in a menacing voice that caused the man of living sound to feel fear.
Thundra who was never one for to many words charged at Coal Tiger with her fist cocked back, Coal Tiger backed away and then jumped over her, he then threw another golden sphere this one called a Spider Bite it exploded in gas and electricity disabling Wizard, once he was close to Klaw he grabbed his arm and threw him against one of the pillars in the cafeteria, he quickly turned around when he heard a shout of rage, Thundra attacked again throwing punches and kicks not landing a single blow on Coal Tiger. Tiger than punched Thundra in the jaw and did a back-flip kick knocking her on her back, Wizard finally got his tools working and threw disk at Bashenga who dodged them, he picked up Thundra who was still incapacitated and threw her at the floating villain. The villains collided crashing into a table, Bashenga then prepared to handle Klaw but as he turned he saw Klaw was holding a group of student's hostage.
"Surrender Coal Tiger, or these children will be nothing but paste." Klaw said, Bashenga growled at Klaw for his cowardice.
"Klaw you damn coward, release them and fight with honor." Bashenga demanded, while glaring at Klaw. Before Klaw could respond with a snide comment, a line of webbing became attached to his sound weapon.
"Dude, don't point that thing it might go off." Spider-Man said while pulling the device away from the students and to the side of Klaw's head. It then went off and caused Klaw to stumble around disoriented before walking into a pillar, hitting his head and collapsing to the floor.
Spider-Man then made a comment about Klaw stinking and then referring to hisself causing Bashenga to think he wasn't all there in the head. He then attacked Thundra knocking her into a table.
Bashenga heard Wizard mention the name Octavius and observing Spider-Man. Bashenga then went and attacked Wizard.
"Be aware of your surroundings Wizard." Coal Tiger said before drop kicking Wizard out of the air and into the wall causing an indentation to appear on impact. Coal Tiger than turned around and noticed Thundra was about to attack Spider-Man while he was down, before he could help Mary Jane kicked a plate of jello at Thundra causing the power house of the Frightful Four to slip and crash into the overturned tables.
Mary Jane took out her phone but Klaw blasted it out of her hand, Harry went to defend her but Klaw turned his weapon on him and blasted him knocking him to the floor and knocking the boy out cold.
"NO!" Coal Tiger shouted and tackled Klaw to the floor and started beating him down. Bashenga's rage was so great he didn't even notice the blood staining his hands, until he looked at his hands and looked at the villain's life blood. He quickly calmed down and got off the villain and stepped aside. Thundra slowly approached the angry hero. Coal Tiger than looked at the villain his eyes glowing an angry amber.
"Take your team and get out Thundra, only out of respect for you I will allow you to escape." Coal Tiger said to her, Thundra nodded and quickly collected Klaw and Wizard. But before she left she turned back to the masked hero.
"You fought well Coal Tiger, continue to impress me and I will introduce my daughter to you. She would want to fight someone of your caliber." Thundra said before leaving with her team. Coal Tiger was surprised by the revelation.
"I guess that rumor about her and the Hulk isn't a rumor anymore?" Coal Tiger thought, before running over to Harry hoping he was alright.
Hey Guys, did you miss me. Sorry about my absence, my old laptop just failed on me and my Pop-Pop passed away a day after Thanksgiving last year so I was feeling depressed about that. But I'm back and I hope you guys can forgive me.
