Chapter 14- Those Good Days
"I can't believe it," said a voice. Larryboy looked around the corner. He couldn't believe it. He knew these people!
It was Bob, Junior and Vicki. Larryboy knew them since they worked for the town's newspaper and he worked there as a janitor undercover. Well, seven years ago. They looked different. Now they were miserable and wore the same dirty clothing and collars like everyone else. Junior looked the most different, since back then he was five. Now he was twelve. Vicki was crying, Bob looked worried, and Junior, who was always cheerful, just looked sad.
Larryboy listened to their conversation.
"Did you see him?" asked Junior.
"Yes, that's what I mean when I said I can't believe it. I just can't believe he's back," said Bob.
"Finally!" said Junior, a little cheerier.
Bob sighed. "Those were good days."
Vicki sobbed harder. "I still can't believe he was gone in the first place. And what's worst he didn't remeber anything. He doesn't know who I am. He doesn't remeber before. He's a different person now. He doesn't care."
"I bet he could still save us," said Junior with hope.
"Junior, it's been seven years," said Bob, somewhat destroying that hope.
"Still," frowned Junior," Bob, you always encouraged me. But after what happened, you stopped."
"It's different now," said Bob, feeling a little remorse. "You know I hate to come across his path these days. Alvin is bad enough. I'm surprised I could make it through all these years."
Vicki started to calm down. "He will always be my hero...even though he lost his mind.
Larryboy was even feeling disappointed a little in himself. They changed. He changed. Everything changed. Vicki's words echoed in his head. He even has a little thing for Vicki. He had to fix everything.
"Come on, let's go. The past Larryboy destroyed the shield and I heard people will try to make their escapes," said Bob.
"Not before going through me," said an angry voice.
The three gasped.
Larryboy recognised this voice too. It was his.
Out of a pile of rubble rose the future evil Larryboy. Larryboy realised his future self was protected from the rain.
Bob, Junior, and Vicki screamed and panicked to the streets. Soon everyone nearby started to scream and run as well.
Larryboy stayed hidden. He was somewhat scared too...of himself! Back then, people would love it when he was nearby as a superhero. Now people were screaming in terror and running like crazy as if they were lit on fire. Larryboy watched himself as he walked toward the people in a threatening way.
"Please Larryboy, let us go!" cried one person.
"I don't think I can do that," said future Larryboy.
Then he got ready to shoot them with his laser eye.
Larryboy could not hide anymore.
Suddenly, just as future Larryboy fired, the other Larryboy jumped into him, knocking them both over.
Everyone gasped and backed away.
Evil Larryboy looked angrily at Larryboy. He pushed him and got up. Then he started to shoot at him.
Larryboy dodged every laser. Then he tried to shoot a plunger at future Larryboy.
To his surprise, future Larryboy flew up into the air 30 feet high as a jet pack sprang up from his back.
Larryboy stared at the sky. Then future Larryboy dropped to the ground. He would have crushed Larryboy if he had not moved out of te way.
Future Larryboy stared menacingly up at Larryboy. Then he hit him back with a metal plunger. As Larryboy lay on the ground, future Larryboy fired out more shots. Larryboy jumped out of their way.
Then evil Larryboy through a small rock at one of Larryboy's eyes. As Larryboy winced in pain, he barely saw through the other one before future Larryboy made a direct hit to his face with another metallic plunger. Larryboy was pushed backwards and laid unconscious.
Evil Larryboy took this as his chance.
"I'm not going to kill you," said evil Larryboy as he walked up toward Larryboy, "You're just going to feel a pinch."
Suddenly, Larryboy's eyes snapped open and he shot a plunger at his future self, pushing him back with full force. Then he shot a plunger to the top of a building. After he swung up there, his future self flew up there as well.
"Hey you...well me," said Larryboy to future evil Larryboy," You're on the wrong side! Snap out of it! Why can't you remember being a superhero? Being me?"
"That was before," answered future Larryboy," All I know is that it's better to be evil than be what I have been before."
"But what about justice? What about defeating evil?" asked Larryboy as he hopped backwards. Evil Larryboy was starting to walk towards him slowly on the roof.
Just as future Larryboy was close enough, he shot a metallic plunger at Larryboy's throat. Now Larryboy was pushed up against a another building ten feet high, starting to choke.
"Remember Archie?" asked Larryboy, trying to get future Larryboy to remember, "What about Bumblyburg? It doesn't have to be like this!"
For a brief second future Larryboy started to remember with a shocked look on his face. But he shook it off and kept going.
"What about those villains?" yelled Larryboy, "Defeating them? Saving the day? We can't let Awful Alvin win? Don't you get it?!" chocked Larryboy.
Evil Larryboy started to remember more. "Stop it! Get out of my head!" he yelled in anguish.
Larryboy then remembered one more thing that could get his future self to snap.
"I...am...that...hero!" gasped Larryboy.
At this, evil Larryboy released the plunger. Larryboy slid to the ground off the side of the building, gasping for air.
Evil Larryboy fell to the roof on his "knees." But he was not evil anymore.
Yeah, I wanted to have Bob, Junior, and Vicki in the story, so I did.
In case you are confused about the two Larryboy stuff, when the word future or evil is in front of the word Larryboy, it refers to the future Larryboy. If Larryboy's name has nothing like that before it, it just refers to the past regular Larryboy. Same goes for the Archibalds. Just wanted to clear that up if you got confused. Unless this whole thing was confusing. Oh well.
