Hello guys. This is chapter seven of Elmore's Warriors. You guys knows what happened at the last chapter, right? Gumball found his superhero name and now joining along with Elmore's Warriors. Enjoy this chapter I had posted.
Chapter 7: Elmore's Warriors.
Warrior-Cat was now being stare by the other four heroes in the room, except for the J Twins, all of them were wearing colorful costumes. He sat down right next to a sixteen year old girl raccoon wearing a darker ninja uniform and holding a staff and her mask. On the right was a mid twenties gray lemur wearing an orange jumpsuit, there was a pair of dragonfly wings on his back that were almost realistic, a helmet that covers the top part of his head and goggles to hide his eyes. There was a large pet owl that is resting to the big hooded guy shoulders. Warrior-Cat notice that the J Twins were there; he waves at them, Jenny waves shyly back to him, and Joseph give a head nod to him. The huge guy with the hoodie on said it was time to address all of the heroes. First were the twins, who had taken off their masks, revealing their eyes. They may have the same age, the same species, the same outfit, but two different about them are their weapons and their eyes. Jenny's eyes were hazel and Joseph's eyes were light yellow. The two siblings were in deep silence in the room.
Joseph begin "Uh, eleven years ago, me and my sister were living in Maine with our parents. And one day, while we were eating, these men came in to our house and rack everything. Our dad, a police commissioner, try to fight them off, but he.." He stop for a moment, and continued. "Wasn't keeping up. Then one of them tried rape our mom, and dad went in stop them, but the man..." He stop again and took a deep breath. "The man, who organized the attack, shot him. Our mom, then another shot came. And just like that, they went. We were taken to an orphanage after that horrible night. Turns out our dad had involve in a bad connection with the mob. He had put some of guys in prison with broken limbs. A few days later, we were destined to fight the murderers. Our dad taught us how to fight, how to weld a blade, how to counter attack, all that. We escape from the orphanage and try to find the killers. We look over the place to find them, but all we found were a couple of informers."
Warrior-Cat asked "Have you find out the guy who did it?"
Joseph continued "He was a crime boss, Warrior-Cat. All we known was that he has a gold tooth and walks with a cane. We took down many guys, shut down operations, and cut their body parts. We look over different parts in Maine to find him, but..."
Jenny finished "We didn't. We never saw that guy again. Not after that night. I came up with the name The J Twins and me and my brother had been doing this in Maine. After every operations were shut down, we went to Elmore and continue on."
Joseph said "Colonel War here look us up and said that he was forming a team that might help this city fight a chance." He was referring to the hooded guy that was next to him.
Warrior-Cat thought So that's this guy name, huh? And he's a Colonel.
The mysterious man known as Colonel War said "I think it was about time to get to known the rest of the group."
The raccoon ninja next to Warrior-Cat introduced "I became Night-Ninja after my drunken and abusive father beats me and my mom hard and left us. So I use my anger on perverts and rapists by slicing their dicks off."
Warrior-Cat exclaimed "Oh, shit!"
Colonel War uttered "Language."
"What? Oh, sorry."
The teen on the right side of Warrior-Cat was a little bit nervous, but spoke out. "For years, I have been bullied as a child because of my obsession of flying. I dream of flying into the air one day, which made the kids beat me up more. So I invented this glide suit and, after about many tries and some of them were near fetal, I became Fly-Man."
The next person introduced "Well, I became Gamble after my parents died. My mom died in a car accident when I was nine and my dad was killed a couple of years later for a debt he was with a local mob. Before he died, my old man taught me the art of cards tricks and how to hit targets with the perfect accurate rate." He demonstrate by summoning a card from his sleeves and hit that was almost close to Warrior-Cat's groin, which jumped him. Gamble is a mid twenty year old black panther, who wears a leather suit with the symbol of of the Ace of Diamonds and a mask that covers only his eyes, revealing to be very dark. He took out a deck of cards and eyed on Warrior-Cat "Care to play? Only five dollars a card."
Colonel War groaned "Put the cards away, Gamble. You know how I feel about gambling."
Gamble replied "Uh, right, sorry about that, Colonel. Just want to see the new guy my tricks."
Joseph shakes his head in disappointment, and Jenny let out a small giggle.
Dr. X-Ray said "Well, I became a hero like all of you because I was inspire by Warrior-Cat here. I kinda hated my job working at the law firm, but hey, I needed a job to keep my house. I first heard about the mask heroes in the newspapers. At first, I thought it was someone playing a practical joke on everyone, but with more news about the J Twins popping in and busting heads and limbs, I knew it was time for me to become a hero also, but during my patrols, I got beat up with these gangs I tried to fight up. Luckily, the twins came in and save my ass. After that, I wasn't sure if I was cut out to be a hero. Then I saw Warrior-Cat on YouTube, and here I am. Dr. X-Ray patrolling the streets with my device."
The hooded Colonel War nodded his head and said "Well, I guess that only leaves me." The Colonel too off his hoodie, revealing his brown bear face. He was very large despite all bears looked that way. As Gumball studied him, he predicted that a man by that size and the details of his gray hairs has got to be in his late fifties. He was wearing a military uniform with medals on his left chest. He also wearing a small green mask that only covers his eyes and fingerless gloves on both of his hands. "Colonel War at your services." Stated Colonel War. "At last we finally meet the man who started this, Warrior-Cat."
Warrior-Cat said "Uh, thanks. Actually, it was sort of the twins that inspire me to do it. They made me became the man that I am today."
Joseph remarked "If you were a man, you wouldn't be screaming like you did back in Demon's apartment."
"Hey, that's only because I was shock to see you guys in action. I meet I didn't even know you guys except in the newspapers, but what I saw it is too much for me to discuss."
Colonel War said "All right, everyone. Let's calm down here. You want to see something cool, Warrior-Cat?"
Warrior-Cat answered "Yeah!"
Colonel War got up and lead the team to another room, it was different than a set of couches. There was a circular table in the left corner, a set of computers, and a work out room. The team were in completely awed.
Colonel War explained "I thought this could be where our meeting room will be and a work out room, where we will be training. It may not be much, but together, we can make a different in this city. We can fight the system.." He put his both of fists up and pretend to be punching Warrior-Cat, who step back. "And bring down those who had mock justice and for being back on the streets. All we ask is you, Warrior-Cat. Will you join in?" He said last with his fist up right in front of Warrior-Cat.
Warrior-Cat saw the team, who had faces that were one hundred percent full of beam. This was everything Gumball can dream up. First, he was inspire to became a mask hero, and now a team of heroes is being form and being ask by their leader to join. His words open up the first thing he wanted to say since he got here. "Hell yeah, I'm in!" He exclaimed with a fist punch on the Colonel's fist. The whole team cheer and clap their hands.
Gumball's P.O.V
A bunch of guys in homemade costumes with clever names and meeting us in a secret base that nobody knew off. Now this I can get into in real life. This is how I wanted to be like in the comics, except it wasn't being headquartered on the moon or a maroon island. But hey, it doesn't matter where is being held at, all that matters is that I was getting ready to be in a team of heroes like the Justice League.
The guys I meet were pretty great and fun for hanging out. The more I hang out with them, the more I got to know about them. Turns out Elmore wasn't the one who had their very first superheros.
Like Night-Ninja started out in Florida for protecting her neighborhood from predators and rapists. Who knew that a girl who is my age could be this bad ass? I mean, she wasn't compare to the twins, but she was something else. The articles say that these perverts were left with bruises and their dicks cut off. She wasn't kidding. I wouldn't mind pissing her off.
The guy who call himself Fly-Man started out in Queens as "a teen that can fly in the air." When I look at the papers, I was nearing going to piss me pants for what I was seeing. This guy can fly, but I wouldn't thought his wings can make him fly. I mean, those large wings making a twenty year old fly? I don't think so. It has to be something else that is making him fly.
I didn't find any articles about Gamble's story or signings, but I manage to hear some stories from the hero himself. He was famous of conning people out of hundreds of dollars in the streets in a game of street blackjacks in Road Island. He even got a record of being busted by the cops a few times and running away from them. He was the best when it comes to cards. He even con me out of my money, but Colonel War catches him and threatened him to have his balls being peck by his owl.
I got to say that I honor that man. I don't know what's his story is, but whenever it is, he's one hell of a leader. Sorry about that. The Colonel got a rule about cussing and not taking the lord's name in vain, but that's what make him so awesome. I have no idea he was religious.
Colonel War and his team, Elmore's Warriors were walking through the streets at night as he started explaining the rules of being a team. Colonel War began "Instead of the usual ass beating of thugs and muggers, people deserve what they need. Family living on the streets deserve a meal without being starve to death. Intoxicated woman deserve to being at their homes without being a victim of rape. And your usual perverts and pedopilias?" He dig his claws on his coat pocket and took out a small grain bird seed. "Gets to visit to my dear friend Archie here." He was referring to his pet owl who was sitting on his shoulders. He held the seed right in front of his face and bite it quickly before the Colonel let it go.
"Now, you don't want to go in and chopping up limbs like most of you do cause that's not how we do this in being in a team." Stated Colonel War, who was showing his team of how to fight properly in their headquarter without doing it in their own way. The team were at the training room and the Colonel was showing them a practice dummy for them to fight. "What you want to do is grab his by the neck" He grab the dummy around the neck and punch him a couple of times. "and hit it like there's no tomorrow."
One by one, the teammates went in and try to knock out the dummy with one move; all of them used their skills on it. Gamble with one card throw at the dummy in the chest, but he didn't knock it out. Night-Ninja uses her knife staff to take a stab on it. The J Twins went in one after the other; Joseph stab it with his katana and Jenny throw a couple of ninja stars at it. Fly-Man did a kick on it, knocking it down. Warrior-Cat uses both his "shield" and bat for a practice beating to knock out the dummy. The last one was Dr. X-Ray with one punch at it, and exclaimed "Knock out, bro!"
By then, we follow the Colonel's rules of being in a team. We help pay for coffee and snacks, and learn about our secret identities. I never been in anything like this; back then, I didn't belong in any club that wouldn't want me to go near. I was never on the swim team or at the football team. Hell, I wasn't even at the choir club. While everyone is busy enjoying their life, I was making a difference with seven masked strangers.
The gang then took a group photo for the beginning of their new team, then a few days later, a pledge was form by the Colonel and the gang. We all chant the pledge on our table:
When the city is shrouded with crime and no one here to stop it,
We are here to put an end to it,
of every perverts and muggers,
who dares threaten this land of justice,
This is who we are,
This is what we fight for,
We are here to bring the light back!
Elmore's Warriors!
After a night out with the gang, the team went their separate ways. They said good bye to each other. Warrior-Cat shake hands with Colonel War. Thanks for the night, Colonel."
Colonel War corrected "No, thank you for inspiring us to do what we were chosen to do. Just don't let it all go to your head. Also, You were pretty good with of swinging that lid. But is it necessary to have a bat with you? May I recommend you of having a stronger weapon other than a trashcan lid or a baseball bat?"
"I'll keep that in mind. Thanks Colonel. See you later."
"See you later, Warrior-Cat."
That was epic, right? Gumball is in Elmore's Warriors and got to see what it's like of being in a real life superhero team. See what happens on the next chapter! Also, what did you guys think of the pledge?
