Superhero Lessons:
Skyla woke up feeling startled from her dream and sat up straight in her bed. She saw a vague figure standing in front of her, but as she did not have her glasses on she could not tell who it was.
"Leopold?" Asked Skyla, she grabbed her glasses and put them on and she saw Lexie standing in front of her. "Lexie?"
"Who is Leopold?" Asked Lexie. "Is it one of the students you turned into a toad?"
"I… I…," said Skyla.
"Yeah, keep playing dumb! Just know your witch days are over. Milo is going to free all the toads," said Lexie. "Just so you know, Milo is one of the Five!"
Lexie was trying to give Skyla an intimidatinglook and climbed back into her bed. Skyla lay down, she took off her glasses and grabbed Mouse and held him tightly.
The next day, Skyla and Percy walked through the forest and were on their way to school. Skyla was off her mind and not paying attention to what Percy was saying. Percy was still convinced that Leopold was a Dark Druid.
"Leopold has to be preparing a dark ritual, why else would he be looking for a stone circle?" Said Percy. "Skyla, are you okay?"
"I didn't sleep to well," said Skyla.
"How come?" Asked Percy.
"I had a nightmare. Leopold told me that I'm in danger," said Skyla.
"Dreams aren't real, a detective can't use as proof," said Percy.
"He said I'm one of the Five," said Skyla. "What if that's true?"
"We have to be careful and we've to research the Five," said Percy.
Skyla agreed with Percy and the two continued walking to school.
In the meantime, Milo and Lexie were already at school and were in the bid for their detention, their punishment was to go and clean all the books. Milo wasn't really cleaning, he was mimicking the wax on, wax off moves from the film the Karate Kid. Lexie stopped cleaning and turned towards Milo.
"Hey, I know the name of one of the toads," said Lexie. Leopold.
"Can you talk to the toads?" Asked Milo. "You might be one of the Five too, Lexie! A superhero who can communicate with the animals."
"Well, I know thanks to Skyla, she was talking about Leopold in her sleep," said Lexie.
"Good detective work, not everyone can be a superhero," said Milo. "Leopold, Leopold is stuck in a toad's body. We've to save them, all of them, right now."
Milo started walking towards the door, just then Mr Danbury appeared and Milo froze. Milo turned back and continued cleaning again. Lexie asked what was going on and Milo told her not to go looking, but Lexie did so anyway and saw Mr Danbury standing there and she too quickly continued cleaning again. Mr Danbury lick his hand and went through his hair and he walked away again. Milo looked carefully to see if Mr Danbury had gone and threw the sponge down on the floor.
"Seriously, does the guy have a twin brother or something? He is everywhere we are, with his dirty, slimy…," said Milo, thinking about what always does with his hair, with a disgusting look on his face. If he's everywhere we are, we can forget our toad saving actions."
"No look, this is proof you're one of the Five," said Lexie, she walked to the table and looked at the book Yes, every superhero has an archenemy."
"Of course, Mr. Danbury is my archenemy, I really am a superhero, I'm a superhero with a mission, this is so cool," said Milo.
"Yes, and with your superpowers you can easily stop Mr. Danbury," said Lexie.
"Exactly," said Milo. "But what is my superpower?"
"Well, you've to develop it further, you only just know that you're on of the Five," said Lexie.
"Oh yes, yes," said Milo.
"Look, here, eight steps on how to become a superhero, said Lexie. "Step one: How do you recognize a superhero? A superhero has strong characteristics, like a muscled body."
Milo looked at his arms and nodded his head proudly. Lexie looked at the superhero book again and started reading the other things from step 1 out loud and said to Milo had superheroes and strong jaw line and good hearing. And that Superheroes have good and fast relexes, Milo did all karate moves, but he slipped on the sponge and fell to the ground, Lexie held out her hand and helped Milo get back up.
"Lexie, I'm ready, tomorrow we'll save Leopold and all the other poor students who've been turned into toads," said Milo.
In the meantime, Skyla was at her locker, she opened it and saw the pages inside. Skyla took the pages out of her locker and started reading through them, Percy approached and saw the pages in Skyla's hand.
"What is that?" Asked Percy.
"The Five and the Magical Sword," said Skyla, she showed Percy the pages.
"Someone torn it out of a book, maybe the one from the library," said Percy.
"The Legend of the Fiva and the Magical Sword Excalibur. King Arthur received the right to the throne by pulling the sword from the stone. The Sword is rumored to have supernatural powers," said Skyla, as she read the text. "Why did someone put this in my locker?"
"You should ask yourself who did it?" said Percy. Skyla started to walk away. "What are you going to do?"
"To Leopold," said Skyla.
"Wait a minute," said Percy.
"I know he put his in my locker," said Skyla.
"What if it's a trap? What if he's one of the Dark Druids?" Said Percy.
"But…, said Skyla.
"Wait a little while longer, I'll look for the book in the library, maybe the pages are from it. Maybe there are finger prints on the cover, said Percy. Stay here alright, I'll be right back."
Skyla nodded her head and Percy walked towards the library. Skyla looked at the history room, she decided to confront Mr Gibson anyway and entered the room.
"Did you put his in my locker?" Asked Skyla.
Mr Gibson said nothing, he stood up and closed the door.
"Sorry, but the walls have ears in here," said Mr. Gibson. "I thought you should read it."
"Why?" Asked Skyla.
"Because you have a special ability, You're one of the Five, Skyla, I've to explain some things to you, according to the legend, the Five can save my daughter," said Mr. Gibson.
"Emma," said Skyla.
"Emma is in great danger," said Mr. Gibson.
"But I'm not special, and I'm not one of the Five. And I can't save Emma," said Skyla.
"You can! You can save her, Skyla," said Mr. Gibson.
"No," said Skyla.
Percy was in the library, he walked towards the bookcase and saw one titled Celtic prophecies, he grabbed the book from the shelf and looked through it, he then saw that pages had been torn out of the book and it matched the pages that were in Skyla's locker.
"Bingo," said Percy.
Percy sat down on the floor, he opened his bag a took out his fingerprint set, he put some powder on the cover, a fingerprint appeared. Percy grabbed tape, removed a piece of it and put it on the book. Now that Percy had managed to get a fingerprint, he quickly put all his things away. Percy stood up and put the book back in the cupboard, just at that moment Winnie walked up to him.
"Can I help you?" Asked Winnie.
"No, thank you, I've found it already," said Percy.
Percy walked away, out of that library. Winnie grabbed the book from the bookcase and looked through it, looking shocked to see pages missing from the book.
Skyla was still in the history classroom, She still didn't know whether to believe Mr Gibson.
"No, no, I…," said Skyla.
"Believe me, you can. Time is running out," said Mr. Gibson "Things are going to happen! Dark days are coming, If we don't do anything…"
"Skyla, said Percy, as he entered the classroom. Are you coming with me?
"Please, help me, begged Mr. Gibson.
"You're wrong, I'm not special, I'm not one of the Five and I can't help Emma, I'm sorry," said Skyla.
"Skyla," said Percy.
"Yes," said Skyla.
Skyla walked towards Percy and left the classroom with him.
A few moments later. Anastacia and Raphael were in the drama room, Raphael was sitting behind the piano and showing Anastacia his song, so far she thought it sounded nice, only when Raphael sang about someone with brown braids, this part confused her.
"Yes, it's very beautiful, we'll win the auditions with this song," said Anastacia.
"You think so?" Asked Raphael.
"Hey, I was wondering…," began Anastacia. "What do you think of Percy and Skyla?"
"Percy and Skyla?" Asked Raphael.
"Yes, Percy and Skyla," said Anastacia. "They're so close lately, I think they are in love, or something."
"I think they're just friends," said Raphael
"Well, I did see them together in the bathroom, said Anastacia. Anyway, it's not important right now, this is now."
Meanwhile, Skyla and Percy stood outside the drama room, Percy was not too happy that Skyla had gone to see Mr Gibson.
"I told you to wait for me. Until we've proof, we can't trust Leopold," said Percy.
"He is looking for his daughter and asked me for help," said Skyla.
"Don't believe everything someone tells you, it's one of the most important detective rules," said Percy. "Who do you trust more? Me or Leopold?"
"You, of course," said Skyla.
"I don't want anything happening to us because we're making mistakes, we need more time," said Percy.
"And what if we don't have more time? Leopold said something is going to happen. Something bad and soon. What if we're too late?" Asked Skyla.
Anastacia and Raphael walked out of the drama room and saw Skyla and Percy standing together.
"Well, what a coincidence, we just talked about them, Those two can't live without each other, so cute," said Anastacia.
Raphael did not look happy. Skyla and Percy looked their way and had no idea why Anastacia and Raphael were looking at them. Raphael walked away feeling disappointed and Anastacia went after him. Skyla and Percy watched Mr Gibson walk into the drama room.
"Come, we're going to see what he is doing," said Percy. He and Skyla started to follow Mr. Gibson.
In the meantime, Milo and Lexie were in the forest, Milo was sitting on the little wall and had put a cape on himself, Lexie was reading from the superhero book.
"Okay, step two: One of the most common superpowers is flight," said Lexie, she looked at Milo with an unsure look on her face. "Are you sure you want to do this?"
"Yes, of course, I'm one of the Five, nothing can happen to me," said Milo.
"Okay, A superhero isn't a bird so never flap your arms, So you heard that, never flap your arms," said Lexie.
"Never flam my arms, check," said Milo.
"Stretch your right arm, make a fist and stretch your left arm against your body, said Lexie.
Milo did exactly what Lexie said and she watched him with an admiring look.
"I never thought flying would be this easy," said Milo.
Back at school, Mr Gibson was in the drama room, he took off his glasses and put on his special glasses and looked around. As soon as Mr Gibson was not looking at the door, Skyla and Percy snuck into the classroom and hid behind the chairs and spied on Mr Gibson.
"What is he doing?" Asked Skyla.
"He sees something we don't," said Percy. "But what?"
Percy and Skyla saw Mr Gibson sitting by the piano, he took out his little book and wrote something in it. Mr Gibson looked at the door and quickly got up and hid. Someone appeared behind Skyla and Percy and grabbed them by the collar, the two turned and saw that it was Mr Danbury.
"Sneaky kids, doing sneaky things," said Mr. Danbury.
What will happen to Skyla and Percy now that they have been caught by Mr Danbury? What is Mr Gibson doing in the drama room? What is he looking for? And what is the Legend of the Five?
