Mr. Big looked out through his binoculars. The business man smiled deviously and quickly signaled for a handful of villains to get ready. There was a eery feeling in the air. The clouds had grown so dark one could mistake it to be night. Lightning could be seen flashing in the ominous sky. Small crackles of thunder could be heard in the distance. A storm. Yes, there was a storm coming and one could not be sure what this storm would bring. But, few did know.
"Mr. Big, how come I have to hold the umbrellas? Can't I use my powers too?"
Ms. Question questioned very upset. Other low villains also were indignant. In fact, a cluster of villains didn't really have anything to do because there was nothing required of them to do.
"Sorry Ms. Question, we have everything planned. I give the more experienced villains the more intense jobs." Mr. Big shrugged and continued watching the city.
Impatience, a word that could best describe Mr. Big's feelings at the moment. He had everything prepared. Though, for once the superhero was late. Playing with the remote, Mr. Big pressed a button hoping it would smash the nearby building. Instead, it made the robot pick up a nearby car and throw it. Well, destruction was destruction, but he probably should have read the manual before he started. Hehe! Oh well!
"WWwoord UP!"
In a quick flash, there she was. The small pint size super girl caught the car.
"Villains to your places! Phase Two begins now!"
Mr. Big grinned and evilly pressed a button on the remote.
Scoops slowly walked down the sidewalk. He finished the last of his notes. Though, he was irritated. He had a history report to complete, but his main topic always seemed to find a way to sneak away from him. The information he had was not nearly enough to prove that Becky and WordGirl even slightly compared. He needed more information. Well, If he couldn't get any information from Becky…maybe he could get it from WordGirl. Yeah, how many times had he tried that? Well, a lot. So, it was obvious, WordGirl would never just bluntly reveal her identity to him. However, maybe he could find some sort of connection between Becky and WordGirl. This connection would have to be unique. Something only the two share…
Scoops looked down at Tobey's mysterious red dusty paper. Well, the idea would come to him…eventually.
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
Suddenly, the reporter began to feel the ground vibrate from beneath him. An earthquake? No, had to be something else. In this city, it was always something else. The boy began to pick up his pace. Hearing the screams of other city goers, he knew he needed to run inside a nearby building.
Though, if he did, how would he get WordGirl's attention? Perhaps, he needed to play the 'helpless' citizen in order to get the superhero's attention.
Quickly, Scoops slowed down enough to see what the large thing could be. As the contraption rounded the corner and onto the street the appearance became obvious. A robot…
"So, that was what Tobey was up to." Scoops suspiciously whispered between breaths as the rumbling of the footsteps grew closer. Turning around quickly Scoops ran at a steady pace, just enough to have the robot not far behind. However, it didn't take Scoops long to realize, but running faster than a robot is a very hard thing to do.
"I'll take that!" WordGirl grinned as she caught the car that the robot had thrown. The superhero gladly placed it back down on the road and zoomed back to fight.
WordGirl looked the robot over. It was definitely Tobey's making. That was for sure. Though, her question was: Where was Tobey? In fact, she didn't see any possible owner to the robot. Strange. The robot went along trying to cause destruction. WordGirl found herself in frustration. After a whole morning of destroying Tobey's robots there just had to be one more.
"All right Huggy, you ready for Plan 568?" WordGirl grinned as Huggy gave her a happy nod. WordGirl nodded in return.
"MONKEY THROW!" WordGirl shouted in vigor as she threw her sidekick at the machine.
CLANK!
"Eeerrk.." Huggy whined.
"Huggy! Are you ok?" WordGirl quickly caught her sidekick.
"Cheep!" Huggy gave a thumbs up.
WordGirl relaxed, but frustration grew as the robot continued. Screams filled the air, destruction was growing, time was running out.
"Stay here Huggy," WordGirl gently placed her sidekick on the roof top far enough from the robot. Huggy, of course, shrieked in protest. However, WordGirl wanted to make sure he would be safe.
The superhero watched the robot a tad longer. For the most part, the robot was taller then usual. It was obvious now that the robot was tougher then usual too. But, not that tough. The robot itself looked like a whole bunch of scrape parts mashed into a colossal invention. Surely, Huggy and her could get rid of it together. Immediately, she began sorting through possible battle plans. Plan 387 seemed possible? Though, then again maybe not, the robot appeared to be larger so there was no telling the difference of its reaction. Perhaps Plan...
"HELP!" A horrified voice cried from below.
Bursting from her thoughts, WordGirl suddenly zoomed to the frightened source. The robot was reeking havoc down Main Street. Normally, there wasn't much to worry about because most citizens ventured indoors during a hug robot calamity. But, at the sound of the voice again, WordGirl knew at once who it was.
In horrified shock, "SCOOPS!" WordGirl cried as she shot down to stop the robot.
The superhero sped down and quickly stopped the robot's large metallic foot. Holding it in place with her hands, "Scoops go! Get as far away from here as you can" the girl gritted. The superhero nervously found the robot feeling heavier by the second. Scoops quickly ran out of the robot's path, but then stopped.
"Actually, I was hoping to ask you a question, WordGirl. May I?" Scoops nervously asked.
The weight was starting to grow heavier. WordGirl couldn't believe it, why was this becoming so hard. Wait, what did Scoops say? WordGirl quickly replied the one word she knew that was safe to say in the midst of word confusion.
"Um..." WordGirl struggled as she tried to push the robotic foot up. As she pushed with all of her strength, she felt her hands start to scream in protest, her feet refused to fight, and her head began to grow dizzy.
"Great! Ok, here is my question. What is your one weakness?" Scoops watched the superhero intently waiting for an answer. But, it seemed that she did not hear him.
"WordGirl?"
Her heart was racing, she had to get out from under the robot's foot.
"Uh, its uh Lexi…" That was it! Finally, the idea came to her. Letting out a nervous sigh, WordGirl quickly grabbed the robot's foot and tripped the machine. The machine began to tumble down, WordGirl quickly leapt and pushed Scoops out of the way.
CRASH! The robot fell onto the pavement.
WordGirl felt a little achy, though she quickly buried her pain away. Scoops needed to get somewhere safe. "Scoops, I really wish I could talk, but now isn't the best time. Maybe after I defeat the robot…" WordGirl spoke between breaths as she flue Scoops away from the battle.
"Is that guaranteed?" Scoops asked letting a tad bit of his disappointment show.
"Well, I can't promise. But, I will try my very best." WordGirl gave a small smile.
The superhero placed Scoops gently down on the sidewalk and took back off into the sky. WordGirl quickly returned to the scene.
"Alright Huggy, lets have a go at Plan 777!" WordGirl looked to the roof top where she had previously seen her sidekick.
"Huggy?"
No reply, nor could she see her sidekick. Where was he?
Pressing her communicator belt, "Huggy?" All that returned was static. A little panicked, WordGirl tried again, "Huggy? Do you copy?"
The superhero zoomed around the city quickly looking for her friend. Though, he was nowhere to be seen. Why would he leave? Maybe he had to go get something? Well, WordGirl hoped he would come back as soon as he could. She hated to fight without him by her side.
Sigh.
WordGirl watched as the large invention slowly began to stand up.
It was time to fight.
Tobey watched her from a distance. Even though, he was far apart from her, he still felt she could easily look his way. What if she did? What would she see? She would look at him with her innocent yet so powerful eyes.
Oh Please! What was he worried about? It was WordGirl. The most powerful girl on the face of the planet. She was the hero. He was the villain. Two paths so opposite should never cross. He should never care for a someone who despised him in the first place. With all her power, she could have chosen to be on the side that always benefits one's self. For once, this was one thing that made him more intelligent then her. Being a villain was far more rewarding. WordGirl would be defeated and he would help participate in the ruling of the whole city. Who wouldn't want that?
Tobey tried to muster a grin. But, as he watched WordGirl clench her fist, the grin didn't seem appropriate. Tobey watched as his large robot creation brought its metallic hands ready to strike her down. He found himself eager to see her win. As much as he wanted to rip those thoughts from his mind, it was impossible. He wanted her to be victorious. Though, would she?
No doubt ever filled his mind…
Hehe well there may not have been a doubt in his mind, but what he didn't know was the doubts would arise. Tehe poor Tobey, there is more to this story then what meets the eye :P (whatever I mean by that *shrugs*). Anyway, good luck everyone! Have fun test taking! Keep your pencils sharp and your brains sharper! :) And those who aren't testing have a terrific calm series of weeks as us school going folk fret XD. Blessings on ya! R&R if was want :D
