Two Wrongs Don't Make A Right
That afternoon, Magnetta and Dwayne were at the Auto Junkyard where Magnetta was training Dwayne on how to use his powers and how to control them. It's been a year since Magnetta started training Dwayne along with teaching him the difference between right and wrong. After a few lessons, Dwayne now knows what the right thing is and would now want to use his powers to become a hero like Static and Magnetta. Magnetta has taught him how to transform something into a certain object by having him look, smell, taste, or touch the object. Whether it's food, a drink, or money. Dwayne was standing in front of an old car while Magnetta stood between them with her arms crossed.
"Alright, Dwayne. Show me what you got." Magnetta said as she looked at Dwayne.
Dwayne looked at the car with a serious expression as his eyes glowed purple along with the car. After a few seconds, the car turned into a Triceratops. The Triceratops roared as it charged toward a pile of cars. It smashed the pile and caused the cars to fly everywhere as Dwayne ducked with his hands over the back of his head while Magnetta surrounded herself in a white magnetic field to repel any cars coming toward her. Once all the cars were on the ground, Dwayne stood up while Magnetta deactivated her magnetic field as they watched the Triceratops glow purple and turned back into a car.
"Good job, Dwayne." Magnetta said as she looked at Dwayne with a smile.
"Now, for your final test." Magnetta said as she took out her wallet.
She opened her wallet and took out a $100 bill. Ever since she started her training with Dwayne, she was slowly showing Dwayne what each type of dollar bill looked like. She first started with a $1 bill, a $5 bill, and gradually made it up to a $50 bill. Now, she was going to show Dwayne what a $100 bill looks like. Something that Aron didn't do with Dwayne.
"This is what a $100 bill looks like." Magnetta said as she walked toward Dwayne while showing the $100 bill to Dwayne before putting her wallet in her pocket.
"Oh, I've never seen what a $100 bill looked like before." Dwayne said as he looked at the $100 bill.
"Well, now you do. Here, take it so you know what it looks and feels like from the front to the back." Magnetta said as she gave the $100 bill to Dwayne.
Dwayne looked at the $100 bill from the front to the back as Magnetta waited patiently. After a few minutes, Dwayne handed Magnetta the $100 bill as she held it in her hand.
"You finished?" Magnetta asked.
"Yes." Dwayne said.
"Good. Let's see if you managed to remember what it looked like." Magnetta said as she looked to the left and held out her hand at a piece of metal that was the same size and shape as a dollar bill.
Her hand glowed white along with the piece of metal as she waved her hand to move the piece of metal toward Dwayne. She lowered her hand and put the piece of metal on the ground, facing Dwayne as her hand and the piece of metal stopped glowing white.
"Remember. Focus and concentrate, don't try too hard and end up straining yourself." Magnetta said to Dwayne with a calm expression.
"Got it." Dwayne said as he picked up the piece of metal.
Dwayne looked at the piece of metal as he focused on his powers with his eyes glowing purple along with the piece of metal. After a few seconds, the piece of metal turned into a $100 bill.
"Good job, Dwayne." Magnetta said as Dwayne handed her the $100 bill.
"Now, let's see if it looks exactly like the original." Magnetta said as she grabbed the $100 bill and looked at the original dollar bill in her other hand.
Magnetta looked thoroughly at both the $100 bills from the front to back, making sure that they both look exactly the same. After a few minutes, Magnetta looked at Dwayne with a smile.
"Well done, Dwayne. You were able to make an exact copy of a $100 bill. I can't even tell them apart." Magnetta said as she held up her hands close to her face, showing both the $100 bills.
"Thanks. Now I know what a $100 bill really looks like." Dwayne said with a smile.
"You got that right. Here, you can take this one since you're the one who turned this piece of metal into a dollar bill." Magnetta said as she gave the $100 bill that used to be a piece of metal to Dwayne.
"Thanks." Dwayne said as he grabbed the dollar bill and put it in his pocket while Magnetta took out her wallet, put the original $100 bill inside, and put the wallet back into her pocket.
"You're training has been going well. You've gotten better with your powers over the past year." Magnetta said with a smile.
"Yep, and now I know what the right thing is thanks to you." Dwayne said with a smile.
"I'm glad to hear that. Like I said, you're a good kid, you just needed the proper guidance." Magnetta said as she kneeled to Dwayne's height and put her hand on his shoulder.
"Thanks." Dwayne asked.
"You know, it's nice to see how much you've changed since last year. I still remember the day we first started." Magnetta said as a flashback began.
Flashback
A year ago, Ruby and Allie were walking toward Fenton Projects when they saw the apartment as they stopped to look at it for a second. Today is the day when Ruby will begin teaching Dwayne the difference between right and wrong. She was also going to talk to Mrs. Price about training her son on how to use his powers and how to control them. This would mean revealing her secret identity to Dwayne's mom.
"Are you sure about telling his mom your secret? What if she'll never let you see Dwayne again?" Allie asked nervously as she looked at Ruby.
"I have to. She'll wonder how am I able to help Dwayne with his powers if she thinks I'm just a normal teenage girl. Which means I have to show her that I'm a Bang Baby, so Mrs. Price can see that I can handle Dwayne's powers and that I can teach him." Ruby explained as she looked at Allie.
"Okay, I just hope it'll work out alright." Allie said nervously.
"Don't worry, it will." Ruby said as she and Allie walked toward the apartment.
A few minutes later, they were inside the apartment and walked toward Dwayne's apartment room. Ruby knocked on the door as she and Allie waited a few seconds until Mrs. Price opened the door.
"Ruby, Allie. It's nice to see you girls again." Mrs. Price said with a smile.
"Hi, Mrs. Price. Is Dwayne home?" Ruby asked.
"Yes, he is." Mrs. Price said as she turned her head to look back.
"Dwayne! Ruby and Allie are here!" Mrs. Price yelled as Dwayne ran out of his room.
Dwayne stopped and stood next to his mom as he looked at Ruby and Allie standing in front of him.
"Ruby! What brings you here?" Dwayne asked with an excited tone.
"Hi, Dwayne. I just thought that me and Allie would come over to visit you and your mom." Ruby said with a smile.
"Sure, come on in." Mrs. Price said with a smile as she and Dwayne stepped to the side to let Ruby and Allie walk inside.
Ruby and Allie walked inside the room as Dwayne and Mrs. Price followed them. Mrs. Price and Dwayne stood next to the table as Ruby and Allie stood in front of them.
"So, what did you girls want to talk to us about?" Mrs. Price asked.
"Well, you probably know how we told you that your son could be a Bang Baby and that he is, right?" Ruby asked.
"Yes, Dwayne even showed me his powers when he got home. I was scared at first to know that he was a Bang Baby. But, I was relieved to know that he didn't use them for evil." Mrs. Price explained.
"Well, we came here to ask you if you can let me train your son on how to use his powers." Ruby said.
"You? I don't know. I'm not sure if you can handle it. I mean, how can someone like you train my son who has the power to warp reality and how can you help him if you end up getting hurt by his powers?" Mrs. Price said with an uneasy expression.
"Believe me, I can handle it. And I can tell you, I'm the right person for Dwayne to learn from." Ruby said as she put her hands out to where her chest is.
"How?" Mrs. Price asked as Ruby put her hands down.
"Let me show you." Ruby said as she held out her hand at the table.
Her hand glowed white along with the plates and silverware on the table as Ruby raised her hand to lift them off the ground. Mrs. Price was shocked by what she saw. After a few seconds, Ruby lowered her hand to put the plates and silverware back on the table as they stopped glowing white along with her hand.
"You're Magnetta?" Mrs. Price asked in shock as she looked at Ruby.
"Yes, I am. But like I said, I'm here to help Dwayne." Ruby said.
"Listen, Mrs. Price, Ruby has read everything about superpowers and knows about their strengths and weaknesses. She's the perfect teacher for Dwayne and can protect herself from his powers with her own." Allie explained.
"So, what do you say, Mrs. Price? Will you let me be his teacher?" Ruby asked.
Mrs. Price place her finger on her chin while looking down as she thought about what Ruby said. She knew that Ruby was a good kid and was the niece of the director of the Community Center. She's also heard from Dwayne that Ruby was nice when he met her and seeing that she has powers and hearing that she could help Dwayne with his powers, she decided to go with it.
"Okay, Ruby, I'll do it. But you'll have to promise me that Dwayne won't get hurt." Mrs. Price said as she took her finger out of her chin and looked at Ruby.
"I can assure you, Mrs. Price, I'll do everything I can to make sure that no harm comes to your son. I promise." Magnetta said with her hands up to where her cheeks were.
"Good. Don't disappoint me, Ruby." Mrs. Price said sternly.
"You can count on me." Ruby said as she jerked her thumb to her chest with her other hand on her hip.
"So, when do I start?" Dwayne asked.
"Your training will begin first thing tomorrow morning. So, make sure to get some rest. And don't worry, the training won't be too hard." Ruby explained.
"Now that that's taken care of. Allie and I should get going so I can get ready for Dwayne's training." Ruby said as she jerked her thumb behind her back.
"Okay, see you tomorrow." Mrs. Price said as she and Dwayne waved goodbye.
"You too, bye." Ruby said as she waved goodbye and walked out of the room with Allie following her.
After Ruby closed the door, Mrs. Price looked at Dwayne.
"I sure hope you're right about her. I don't want to see anything bad happen to you." Mrs. Price said to Dwayne.
"Don't worry, I'll be careful. And I'm happy to have her as my teacher." Dwayne said with a smile.
A few minutes later, Ruby and Allie were seen walking out of the apartment.
"Wow, I didn't think Mrs. Price was going to let you train his son after you revealed your powers to her." Allie said as she looked at Ruby.
"I'm sure she would when I explained everything to her." Ruby said to Allie.
"You sure you want to train Dwayne? I mean, you and Static saw what he could do with his powers when he summoned all of those video game, comic book, and cartoon characters." Allie explained.
"Yes, Dwayne looks like someone who needs help with learning the difference between right and wrong after what he's been through with Aron's influence, especially how to control his powers." Ruby explained.
"Well, if you really want to do this, I'll support you." Allie said with a smile as she put her hand on Ruby's shoulder.
"Thanks, Allie." Ruby said as she looked at her best friend with a smile on her face before they stopped and stood on the sidewalk close to a traffic light.
"Well, you better get ready for your big day tomorrow once you get home." Allie said as she took her hand off Ruby's shoulder.
"I should. See you tomorrow, Allie." Ruby said as she waved goodbye at Allie while crossing the street.
"Goodbye, Ruby." Allie said as she waved goodbye at Ruby before walking on the left side of the sidewalk to where her house is.
The next morning, Ruby was in her superhero costume while holding her mask in her hand, standing in front of Dwayne's apartment door as she was waiting patiently for Dwayne to come out. After a few minutes of waiting, Dwayne opened the door and smiled at Ruby.
"Ready for your training?" Ruby asked with a smile.
"I sure am." Dwayne said excitedly as Mrs. Price walked toward him and looked at Ruby.
"You take good care of my son, Ruby." Mrs. Price said.
"Don't worry, Mrs. Price. I won't let anything bad happen to him." Ruby said.
"Come on, Dwayne. Let's go start your training." Ruby said as she put on her mask.
"Okay. Bye, Mom." Dwayne said as he turned around and waved goodbye to his mom before he and Magnetta walked away.
"Bye, Dwayne. Be safe out there, you kids." Mrs. Price said as she waved goodbye to Dwayne and Magnetta.
"We will." Magnetta said as she turned her head to look at Mrs. Price before turning back to walk outside.
Once they were outside of the apartment, Magnetta stopped along with Dwayne as she looked at Dwayne.
"Now, before we get started, I'll start teaching you the difference between right and wrong like I promised. Will start with a few lessons and then we can begin your training." Magnetta explained.
"Okay, where should we start?" Dwayne asked.
"Come on, let's walk. We can talk about it on the way." Magnetta said as she walked away with Dwayne following her.
'I figured you were nervous after your time with Aron who was using your powers to do his dirty work. So, I thought we take it slow and not do anything that could overwhelm you like you were at the mall.' (Ruby)
'Yeah, I was nervous about it at first. But, I knew I could trust you since you were Mr. Hawkins' niece.' (Dwayne)
While they started walking on the sidewalk, Magnetta started to explain the differences between right and wrong to Dwayne.
"Now, the first step to learning the difference between right and wrong is to have someone who already knows what the right thing is. My parents were a good influence on me and taught me what's right and what's wrong. They raised me right and were the reason I'm the girl I am today. And because of their teachings, I knew what the right thing was. And that's why I decided to use my powers to help people." Magnetta explained.
"And let me tell you, Aron is nothing but a bad influence. He's always stealing something and getting himself into trouble, which doesn't make him the right person to teach the difference between right and wrong." Magnetta said.
"I guess you're right. I thought that what Aron wanted me to do was okay. But, it didn't feel right and I wanted to stop. But, Aron kept forcing me to do what he says and that's when I had enough when we were at the mall because I couldn't take it anymore." Dwayne explained.
"I see. And that's another thing I should tell you. What you think is right is entirely up to you. Some people choose wrong like Aron and the Meta-Breed while me, Static, and the Ulti-Meta Gang chose right." Magnetta continued.
"But clearly, you're having trouble knowing what the right thing is. Meaning that you need help, which is exactly what I'm gonna do." Magnetta finished as she and Dwayne stopped at a park that was in front of them.
"How are you gonna do that?" Dwayne asked as he looked at Magnetta.
"Simple, follow me." Magnetta said as she walked toward the park with Dwayne following her.
Once they were in the park, Magnetta and Dwayne walked around until Magnetta stood behind a tree as Dwayne walked toward her and hid behind the tree.
"Here's your first lesson. I'm going to show you what I think is right or wrong and after that, it'll be your turn to see what you think is right or wrong." Magnetta explained as she looked at Dwayne.
"Okay." Dwayne said as he looked at Magnetta.
"Now, let me show you what right and wrong really is." Magnetta said as she looked around.
After a few seconds, Magnetta saw something as Dwayne looked where Magnetta was looking at. They saw a boy playing with his toy car as he held on to it and rolled it around the sidewalk while saying vroom. They saw the boy let go of the car as it sped through the sidewalk. However, it bumped into a little girl's heel as she was walking by.
"Ow!" The little girl yelled as the boy laughed.
The little girl turned around to look at the boy's car on the ground for a second before she picked it up and looked at the boy with a fake smile. The boy stood up and put his hands out, thinking she was going to give him back his toy car. However, the girl stuck her tongue out, turned around, and ran away. The boy got up and took a few steps with his hand out, looking like he was about to run after her. However, he stopped as he saw the girl running toward a tree and hiding behind it. The boy turned around as his lip started quivering with tears running down his eyes. He ran away and started crying as Magnetta and Dwayne watched the boy running away and crying. This broke Magnetta's heart to see the boy crying.
"You see, Dwayne? What that girl did was wrong. She should've just given the toy car back to the boy. But instead, she took the boy's toy and ran away with it." Magnetta explained as she looked at Dwayne.
"So what she did wasn't right?" Dwayne asked Magnetta.
"Yes. Would you like it if someone took away your toy like that girl did?" Magnetta asked.
"No." Dwayne answered.
"You see, it's not right to take things that don't belong to you, and you could see that the boy was sad to have his toy taken away when you saw him crying." Magnetta explained.
"Now, watch as I do the right thing for the boy." Magnetta said as she walked toward the tree where the girl was hiding with Dwayne watching Magnetta.
Magnetta stood in front of the tree and held out her hand as it glowed white. Behind the tree, where the girl was hiding, the toy car glowed white as she looked at the toy car with a confused expression.
"What the?" The girl wondered as she looked at the car glowing white.
Suddenly, the car was being pulled away as the girl held onto the car with her feet sliding on the grass. She strained as she tried to pull the car back, but the force pulling on the car was too strong. After a few seconds, she slipped and fell on the ground as she saw the toy car being pulled toward Magnetta. Magnetta grabbed the toy car as both the car and her hand stopped glowing white.
"Sorry, kid. But this doesn't belong to you." Magnetta said as she put her hand down.
The girl groaned in anger as she got up and walked away. Magnetta turned around and walked to where the boy ran off with Dwayne following her. Magnetta kept on walking as she was guided by the presence of the boy's magnetic field she was sensing. After a few minutes, she was led to a lake where she and Dwayne stopped as they saw the boy on his knees and crying while covering his face with his hands. Magnetta walked toward the boy and poked at his shoulder, causing the boy to stop crying to look behind him to see Magnetta standing in front of him with a smile as he saw his toy car in her hand.
"Hi, I believe this is yours." Magnetta said as she held out the toy car to the boy.
"Oh, thank you so much!" The boy said with a smile as he grabbed his toy car from Magnetta.
"My dad gave this to me on my birthday...before he passed away." The boy said sadly as he looked down.
Magnetta kneeled to the boy's height and put her hand on his shoulder.
"He must've meant a lot to you. Did he?" Magnetta said as she looked at the boy.
"Yes, he was. He used to take me to the park all the time and we would play with my toy cars. Even though it's been years since he's been gone, I still miss him." The boy explained with a sad expression as he looked at Magnetta.
"I understand that you miss your dad and how much he meant to you. But, he wouldn't want to see you sad after he died, he would want to see you happy." Magnetta explained.
"You think so?" The boy asked.
"Of course. Now, try to remember that he may be gone, but you'll always remember him as he'll always be with you." Magnetta said with a smile.
"Thank you, Magnetta." The boy said.
"You're welcome. Now you go play where no one can steal your car and always remember that your dad is watching you." Magnetta said with a smile as she stood up.
"I will." The boy said with a smile as he ran away with his toy car.
After he was gone, Magnetta turned around to look at Dwayne who was standing behind her.
"As you can see, I did the right thing by giving the boy's toy car back to him." Magnetta explained.
"So that's what the right thing is?" Dwayne asked.
"Exactly. That's what a real hero does by doing what they believe is right by risking their lives and using their powers to save people who can't defend themselves." Magnetta explained.
"I never thought about what I want to do with my powers." Dwayne said.
"And that's why I'm gonna help you learn how to control them. Now, let me show a few more about what the right thing is." Magnetta said as she walked to the left side of the park with Dwayne following her.
A few minutes later, Magnetta and Dwayne walked through a bunch of trees as Magnetta kneeled and hid behind some bushes. Dwayne did the same thing as he kneeled next to Magnetta. Magnetta pushed away a few branches on the bush to make a hole.
"Alright, I'm going to show you a few demonstrations and see if you can tell what's right and wrong." Magnetta said as she looked at Dwayne.
"Okay." Dwayne said.
"Now, let's get started." Magnetta said as she and Dwayne turned around to look through the hole in the bush.
They saw a little boy playing with a ball as he threw it in the air and caught it multiple times. However, as soon as the ball was about to land in his hands, a boy who was older than him caught the ball. The boy looked at the older boy as he smirked at the little boy. He tried to get his ball back, but the older boy raised his hand to prevent the little boy from getting it back.
"You see him take that little boy's ball? Is that right or wrong?" Magnetta asked Dwayne as she pointed her finger at the scene.
"Wrong." Dwayne answered.
"And why is that?" Magnetta asked.
"Because taking someone's stuff isn't right." Dwayne said.
"Good. Now, let me show you how to set things right." Magnetta said as she held out her hand.
The little boy kept jumping to try and get his ball back with the older boy holding the ball high in the air. But then, the ball started floating out of the older boy's hand and up in the air. The two boys looked at the ball in shock. Until the ball dropped down and hit the older boy's head as the ball dribbled on his head. This made the older boy annoyed as he yelled in pain before running away with his hands on his head. Once the older boy was gone, Magnetta undid her gravity powers as she put her hand down, making the ball drop down and land in the little boy's hands. The boy looked at the ball for a few seconds before smiling as he continued playing with the ball.
"So you see, what I did was the right thing." Magnetta said as she looked at Dwayne.
"Now, let's see if we can find something else." Magnetta said as she looked around.
After a few seconds, they saw a little girl with an ice cream cone. She was licking her ice cream with a smile on her face. However, after she took one more lick, the ice cream scoop dropped off from the cone and fell on the sidewalk. The little girl saw her ice cream on the floor as she started crying with tears in her eyes while looking down. Suddenly, a hand was placed on the little girl's shoulder as she turned around while wiping away her tears with her sleeve to see a girl who was a year older than her, holding an ice cream cone in her other hand.
"Here, take it." The girl said as she handed her ice cream cone to the little girl.
"I can't, it's yours." The little girl said in hesitation.
"It's okay, you can have it. Besides, you need it more than I do." The girl said with a smile.
"Thank you." The little girl said as she took the ice cream and started licking on the ice cream scoop.
"So, Dwayne was that right or wrong for what she did for that little girl?" Magnetta asked.
"Right." Dwayne answered.
"Why?" Magnetta asked.
"Because giving her ice cream cone to that little girl was the right thing to do to make her happy." Dwayne said.
"Correct." Magnetta said with a smile until she saw something that caught her attention.
"Dwayne, look." Magnetta said as she pointed her finger at something.
Dwayne looked where Magnetta was pointing as they saw a little boy walking toward a plate with a sandwich. However, he was unaware that there was a lasso around the plate where Magnetta and Dwayne saw an older kid holding the other end of the rope with another little boy who was standing next to him as they saw that the rope was hanging on a tree branch.
"Come on, Gordon. Grab the rope and pull it to hang Percy over that tree. It'll be fun to see him hanging." The older boy said as he held out his hand to the little boy named Gordon.
However, Gordon refused to take the rope.
"But, Percy's my friend." Gordon said.
"Percy, it's a trap!" Gordon yelled as he cupped his hands.
Percy was about to grab the sandwich. Until he heard Gordon as he looked up to see his friend and the rope.
"Thanks, Gordon." Percy said.
"Urgh, you little brat!" The boy yelled as he was about to grab Gordon.
Until Percy grabbed the lasso and threw it at the boy, restraining him as he threw the rope over a tree branch and pulled the rope to lift the boy off the ground while tying the end of the rope around the tree trunk.
"There, that should teach you not to hang kids over a tree again." Percy said with a smirk as he walked toward his friend.
"Thanks for saving me, Percy." Gordon said with a smile.
"You're welcome. You could say that was my way of saying thanks for saving me from getting hanged over a tree." Percy said.
"Yeah, I couldn't just let you get hurt." Gordon said.
"Me neither if our roles were switched. Now, let's get out of here." Percy said as he and Gordon walked away.
"Hey, get back here!" The boy yelled.
"You see that Dwayne? That boy tried to influence the little boy to do something bad to his friend. This is what Aron did to you by influencing you to do something wrong." Magnetta explained.
"Now that you mentioned it, it did remind me of what Aron was making me do like robbing a bank, stealing at the Dakota Mall, and forcing me to fight you and Static." Dwayne explained.
"But the good thing is that little boy did the right thing by refusing the boy's offer because he knew that it wasn't right." Magnetta said.
"I wish I did that when I was with Aron. But I was too blinded by who he really was and I thought I could trust him because he was my brother and would never lie to me." Dwayne said sadly as he looked down.
"It's okay, you just needed help on who you should trust. Now it's your turn to see what you think is right or wrong." Magnetta said.
"Really?" Dwayne asked in shock.
"Of course, let's go back to the streets so you can start." Magnetta said as she stood up and walked away with Dwayne following her.
'I wanted to see how you'll do after I showed you what right and wrong is.' (Ruby)
'I could tell. I was nervous at first because I wasn't sure if I was gonna fail.' (Dwayne)
'I knew you wouldn't because you're too nice to fail. So I was confident that you can do it.' (Ruby)
Magnetta and Dwayne were now in the city, standing on the sidewalk as she looked at Dwayne.
"Okay, now it's time you show me that you know what the right thing is. But don't worry, I'm not gonna pressure you to do something that you think is wrong like Aron did. I'm gonna let you choose what the right thing is." Magnetta explained.
"Got it?" Magnetta asked.
"Got it." Dwayne answered.
"Good. Now, look around and see if you can find anyone who needs help or are in trouble and choose if you want to help them." Magnetta said.
"Okay." Dwayne said.
He looked around for a few minutes until he saw something. Magnetta turned her head to see what Dwayne was looking at and they saw an old woman standing in front of the crosswalk while holding a cane.
"Looks like that old woman is having trouble crossing the street." Magnetta said as she pointed her finger at the old woman.
"I should help her, right?" Dwayne asked as he looked at Magnetta.
"Of course. No one's going to force you not to. Go help her." Magnetta said with a smile.
Dwayne smiled as he walked toward the old woman.
"Need some help?" Dwayne asked as he stood next to the old woman.
"Yes, I do." The old woman said with a smile as she looked at Dwayne.
Dwayne held the old woman's hand as they both crossed the street with Magnetta looking at them with a smile.
"Here you go, ma'am. Safe and sound." Dwayne said as he let go of the old woman's hand.
"Thank you, young man. You're such a good boy." The old woman said as she looked at Dwayne with a smile and patted his head.
"You're welcome." Dwayne said with a smile as the old woman walked away while Magnetta flew toward Dwayne and landed in front of him.
"You did good out there by helping that old woman cross the street." Magnetta said as she looked at Dwayne.
"Thanks, it felt right to help her." Dwayne said as he looked at Magnetta.
"That's good. You see, some people who help someone would give them a reward. But, sometimes they can take it too far and would do good deeds just to get rewards. So remember, a truly good person should never ask someone for anything in return. They do good deeds because it's the right thing to do to help people in need and not expect them to always give you something for helping them." Magnetta explained.
"Okay." Dwayne said.
As soon as he finished his sentence, a loud ringing was heard from a nearby bank as they turned around to see some bank robbers running outside with sacks of money in their hands before running away.
"Looks like those guys are stealing money from the bank." Magnetta as she pointed her finger at the bank robbers.
"And that's wrong, right?" Dwayne guessed.
"Correct." Magnetta answered.
"That means we gotta stop those guys." Dwayne said as he looked at the bank robbers with an angry expression.
"Right, let's go stop them." Magnetta said as she flew toward the bank robbers while Dwayne ran after her.
The bank robbers continued running until they heard something.
"Hold it, right there!" Dwayne yelled as the bank robbers stopped.
They turned around to see Dwayne looking at them with an angry expression and his hands forming into fists.
"That doesn't belong to you." Dwayne said angrily.
"Nice try, kid. What makes you think a little boy like you can tell us what to do?" The first robber asked as he walked toward Dwayne with his two partners following him.
"Kindly put the money down." Dwayne said sternly.
"Make me." The robber said with a smirk.
Suddenly, Dwayne's eyes glowed purple as a bicycle that was leaning on a trash can glowed purple and turned into Donkey Kong. Donkey Kong grabbed two trash cans and threw them at the two bank robbers as they were knocked unconscious, laid on the ground, and dropped the money sacks.
"Uh oh." The first bank robber said as he turned around and ran away.
However, after a few seconds, a street lamp glowed white and bent down as it wrapped around the bank robber, restraining him and causing him to drop the money sacks. After a few seconds, the street lamp rose back up while still constricting the bank robber in the air as he struggled to break free.
"Sorry, sir, but you're not going anywhere." Magnetta said as she floated down toward the bank robber while holding out her hand that was glowing white.
Magnetta put her hand down as her hand and the street lamp stopped glowing white.
"You'll have to stay here until the police arrive, so they can arrest you and your partners." Magnetta said as she looked at the bank robber and pointed her finger at him.
"Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some stolen money to return." Magnetta said as she jerked her thumb behind her back before flying down to the ground.
Magnetta landed in front of Dwayne as he and Donkey Kong grabbed all the money sacks. Including the other two money sacks, the last bank robber dropped as Donkey Kong grabbed them.
"So, how'd I do?" Dwayne asked as he looked at Magnetta.
"You did very well." Magnetta said with a smile.
"Now, you won't mind if you let Donkey Kong give me the rest of the money?" Magnetta asked nicely.
"Of course not." Dwayne said as he looked at Donkey Kong.
Donkey Kong held out his hands as Magnetta held out her hand and used her Gyro-Telekinesis on the money sacks Donkey Kong had. Once the money sacks were floating next to Magnetta, Donkey Kong glowed purple and turned back into a bicycle.
"Come on, let's return this money back to the bank." Magnetta said to Dwayne as she walked toward the bank.
"Okay." Dwayne said with a smile as he followed Magnetta.
Once Magnetta and Dwayne got to the bank, the male security guard saw them and smiled.
"Thanks, Magnetta." The security guard said as he took the money sacks from Dwayne.
"You're welcome. Here's the rest." Magnetta said as she moved her hand to face the door to make the money sacks float inside the bank.
Once they were inside the bank, the money sacks were put down when they got inside the vault as Magnetta put her hand down.
"Thanks, I'll put these last two sacks back into the vault." The security guard said as he walked inside the bank.
"I think you're getting the hang of being a superhero." Magnetta said as she looked at Dwayne.
"I guess I am." Dwayne said with a smile until he noticed something.
"Hey, look." Dwayne said as he pointed his finger at something.
Magnetta looked where he was pointing as they saw a little girl who had green eyes, brown hair tied into pigtails, and was wearing a green Scout uniform. She was also 8 years old like Dwayne and had a smile on her face as she walked toward a house holding a green box full of cookies that said EVERGREEN SCOUT on top of the box. She knocked on the door as a teenage girl opened it and looked at the little girl.
"Cookies?" The little girl asked with a smile.
"Thanks." The teenage girl said rudely as she took the box out of the little girl's hands and slammed the door in front of her.
The little girl looked at the door with a sad expression as Magnetta and Dwayne saw her crying loudly.
"Now that girl has definitely hurt that little girl's feelings by shutting her out and not paying her." Magnetta said as she looked at Dwayne.
"I can't believe she did that to her." Dwayne said in a shocked expression.
"Why don't you go and help cheer her up." Magnetta said as she put her hand on Dwayne's shoulder.
"Okay." Dwayne said as he picked up a popsicle stick from the ground and walked toward the little girl.
The little girl had her eyes covered with her hands as she kept crying. Dwayne stopped and stood in front of the little girl as she wiped her tears and saw him.
"Hi. I saw what happened and I have something to cheer you up." Dwayne said.
"What is it?" The little girl asked.
"This." Dwayne said as he held his hands together to reveal a popsicle stick to the little girl.
The little girl was confused at first but was shocked when she saw Dwayne's eyes glowing purple along with the popsicle stick as it turned into a box that looked exactly the same as the one she was selling. The little girl looked at the box with her eyes widened and her jaw dropped.
"Whoa, how did you do that?" The little girl asked as she looked at Dwayne.
Dwayne looked both ways and looked at Magnetta from the distance as she nodded yes with a smile before he looked at the little girl.
"Promise you won't tell anyone?" Dwayne asked the little girl.
"I promise. I got a secret-keeping badge, so I'm very good at keeping secrets." The little girl said with a smile as she showed Dwayne a badge on her vest that showed a finger on a pair of lips.
"Good." Dwayne said with a smile.
"You see, I'm a Bang Baby who has the power to manipulate reality. So I can turn water into cherry soda or animals into my favorite cartoon characters. I can even turn a piece of trash into a food or drink. That's how I was able to turn that popsicle stick I found on the ground into a box of cookies." Dwayne explained.
"That's amazing." The little girl said.
"It is. Take this as my way of making you feel better." Dwayne said with a smile as he gave the box of cookies to the little girl.
"Thanks." The little girl said with a smile as she took the box of cookies.
Once she opened the box, she saw chocolate chip cookies inside.
"Mmm, chocolate chip cookies. My favorite." The little girl said.
"Mine too. My mom makes the best chocolate chip cookies." Dwayne said with a smile.
"Really? Maybe your mom can help me bake some cookies for the Evergreen Scouts, so we can sell them." The little girl asked.
"Evergreen Scouts?" Dwayne asked.
"Young girls like me who help protect wildlife and do whatever we could to raise money to save all the plants and animals around the world." The little girl explained.
"That sounds nice. I'm sorry that I don't have any money to give you." Dwayne said sadly with his head down.
"It's okay, these cookies can make it up." The little girl said as she put her hand on Dwayne's shoulder.
When Dwayne looked up, he couldn't help but notice how beautiful she was and couldn't stop looking at her gorgeous green eyes. The little girl also couldn't help but notice how cute Dwayne was as she and Dwayne started blushing and looked away with smiles on their faces while the little girl placed the box on the ground, put her right hand on her left arm, and rubbed it. Magnetta noticed this as she smiled at them.
"Anyway, I never got your name." Dwayne said as he looked at the little girl.
"My name is Ivy." The little girl now known as Ivy said as she looked at Dwayne while still rubbing her arm.
"That's a pretty name." Dwayne said as Ivy giggled with her hand covering her mouth.
"Thanks. I was named that after my green eyes." Ivy said as she pointed her finger at her green eyes.
"So, what's you're name?" Ivy asked.
"Dwayne." Dwayne answered.
"That's a good name." Ivy said.
"Thanks. So, you wanna come over to my apartment tomorrow?" Dwayne asked.
"I'd love to." Ivy said with a smile.
"Good, then I'll see you tomorrow." Dwayne said as he turned around and walked away.
"Bye." Dwayne said as he looked back and waved goodbye at Ivy.
"Bye." Ivy said with a smile as she picked up the cookie box off the ground and waved goodbye.
Dwayne turned back and walked toward Magnetta as he stopped and stood in front of her.
"Good job, Dwayne. You really made that little girl feel better." Magnetta said with a smile.
"And I see you have a crush on that girl, huh?" Magnetta guessed with a smirk on her face and her hands on her hips as Dwayne blushed.
"I do not. We're just friends." Dwayne said in denial.
"Sure you are." Magnetta said with a smirk as she arched down and pointed at Dwayne.
"In the meantime, let's go to the Auto Junkyard to start your training." Magnetta said as she stood up straight.
"Okay." Dwayne said.
Magnetta walked away as Dwayne followed her.
A few hours later, Magnetta and Dwayne were at the Auto Junkyard.
"Alright Dwayne, time to begin your training. Show me what you got." Magnetta said as she put her hands on her hips.
Dwayne turned around with a determined expression as his eyes glowed purple. Three cars glowed purple as they turned into Grimlock, Sludge, and Slag.
"Dinobots, transform!" Dwayne yelled as he cupped his hand to the side of his mouth and held his fist in the air.
Grimlock transformed into a T-Rex, Sludge turned into a Brachiosaurus, and Slag turned into a Triceratops. Grimlock jumped into the air and stomped on two cars with his feet after landing on the ground. Sludge swung his tail to knock a stack of cars as they fell to the ground. Slag charged toward two stacks of cars and knocked them down as the cars fell to the ground. Once the Dinobots were done, they glowed purple and turned back into cars.
"That was cool, Dwayne. I can see you love watching Transformers." Magnetta said.
"Thanks. I love watching a lot of cartoons." Dwayne said as he turned around to look at Magnetta.
"I can see that. Are there any limits to your powers?" Magnetta asked.
"Well, I can only turn stuff into certain characters or objects if I know what they look like. When it comes to food or drinks, I need to know what they smell and taste like." Dwayne explained.
"I see. So you need to know what something looks like to turn it into that certain cartoon character or object." Magnetta guessed.
"Yes. Aron was upset that I couldn't turn a piece of metal into a $100 bill." Dwayne said.
"Sounds like Aron doesn't understand how your powers work like I do." Magnetta said as she walked toward Dwayne and kneeled to his height while putting her hand on Dwayne's shoulder.
"But don't worry. I can show you what those certain objects look like along with new foods, drinks, and new characters." Magnetta explained.
"As for money, we're gonna start with a $1 bill and gradually make our way up to 100. What do you say?" Magnetta asked.
"I think that's a great idea." Dwayne said with a smile.
"Good. Once you get the hang of it, you'll be able to turn anything into any object you can think of." Magnetta said.
"I can't wait." Dwayne said.
(Flashback End)
"You were getting good at remembering what types of dollar bills, food, and drinks looked like and you were getting good at controlling your powers too." Magnetta said as she and Dwayne were sitting on a bunch of tires.
"I thought it was going to be hard after what Aron made me do, but I was starting to enjoy it. And I was happy to become friends with Ivy." Dwayne said with a smile.
"Yeah, I could see that you enjoyed being with her and have even invited her to your apartment. Not to mention having your mom bake cookies for her Scout friends." Magnetta said.
"She's very kind and caring to animals and didn't mind being friends with me because I'm a Bang Baby." Dwayne said with a smile.
After getting to know Ivy, Dwayne began to develop feelings for her. However, he was unaware that Ivy also started to have feelings for him as well.
"You got that right. Anyway, have you thought of a superhero name?" Magnetta asked Dwayne.
"Hmm, I was thinking, Reality." Dwayne said.
"Nice, it suits you since you can control reality." Magnetta said.
"Thanks." Dwayne said.
"Speaking of which, I have something I want to show you." Magnetta said as she got off the tire she was sitting on and stood up.
"What is it?" Dwayne said.
"Follow me." Magnetta said as she walked away with Dwayne getting off the tire he was sitting on and followed her.
Magnetta and Dwayne walked through the Junkyard as they walked for a couple of minutes. Until Magnetta stopped along with Dwayne as they saw Mirage standing in front of them while looking around and was no longer wearing a bandage around her forehead.
"Magnetta! Magnetta, where are you?!" Mirage yelled as she cupped her hands in between her mouth.
"Over here!" Magnetta yelled as she cupped her left hand to the side of her mouth while holding her right hand in the air and waved.
Mirage turned around to see Magnetta and Dwayne standing in front of her as she walked toward them. Once Mirage was standing in front of them, Magnetta looked at Dwayne.
"Dwayne, I want you to meet our newest recruit, Miranda aka Mirage." Magnetta said as she held out her hand in front of Mirage and looked at her.
"Mirage, this is my first recruit, Dwayne." Magnetta said as she lowered her hand and held it in front of Dwayne.
"Hi." Mirage said as she waved at Dwayne.
"Hi." Dwayne said as he waved at Mirage.
"Mirage went through the same thing you did as she lost both her parents and had an older brother who forced her to do stuff that she didn't want to do." Magnetta explained as she looked at Dwayne.
"Really?" Dwayne asked.
"Yes. Thankfully, I managed to stand up to myself, and I'm free from my brother ordering me what to do now." Mirage said.
"And Mirage, Dwayne's parents went through a divorce, and his mom got remarried. His stepbrother, Aron, made Dwayne do all of his dirty work and was a bad influence on him. But, he was able to see that what Aron made him do was wrong and I've been helping him learn the difference between right and wrong for a year." Magnetta explained as she looked at Mirage.
"Wow, I didn't know that." Mirage said in shock.
"So, Magnetta, what's she doing here?" Dwayne asked as he looked at Magnetta.
"Well, you see, it all started a week ago." Magnetta said as a flashback started.
(Flashback)
Once Static and Magnetta saw Sharon, Richie, and Allie leave the stadium, they walked toward Mirage for help.
"Hey, Mirage. I need a favor. I need you to create an illusion of me and Magnetta once we head outside to fool my sister." Static explained to Mirage.
"Do you think you can do that?" Magnetta asked.
"Sure." Mirage said.
"Good." Static said with a smile.
"Static, you go get changed while Mirage and I have a talk in the girl's bathroom before I get changed." Magnetta said to Static.
"Okay, I'll see you girls later." Static said as he walked toward a place to change out of his superhero costume.
Magnetta and Mirage walked inside the girl's bathroom as Magnetta looked around to see if anyone was inside. Thankfully, they were the only ones inside the girl's bathroom.
"So, Mirage. Since Byron is your brother's real name, what's yours?" Magnetta asked as she looked at Mirage.
"Miranda." Mirage answered.
"Well then, Miranda. Let me ask you a question. What do you think about your powers?" Magnetta asked.
"I don't know. Byron said that our powers were a gift and almost like payback, considering what we've been through after our parents died and we had to move from Southfield. But I just saw us as freaks." Mirage explained sadly as she looked down.
"Look, just because you're a Bang Baby doesn't mean you're a freak." Magnetta said as she kneeled at Mirage's height and put her hands on Mirage's shoulders.
"How would you know?" Mirage asked as she looked at Magnetta with tears in her eyes.
"Because I've been through this before. I lost my parents when I was young too. I was only 5 years old when my parents died in a car accident. After they died, my aunt and uncle took me in and raised me as their own daughter." Magnetta said sadly as she wiped off Mirage's tears.
"When the Big Bang happened, I was surprised by my powers at first. I could've seen myself as a freak, but I chose to make the best of it by using my powers to help people. You can use your powers to be a hero like me and Static." Magnetta explained as she put her hands back on Mirage's shoulders.
"You really think I can be a hero?" Mirage asked.
"Of course. You have a good heart and confessed that you didn't even want to commit those crimes with your brother. You even helped me and Static stop Boom, which shows that you have the potential to be a hero, you just need the proper training." Magnetta explained.
"But who will train me?" Mirage asked.
"I'll train you." Magnetta answered.
"You will?" Mirage asked in shock.
"Of course. I've read about illusions, so I know how to handle metahumans who can create illusions. With my help, you'll be able to do a lot with your powers and even gain new ones." Magnetta explained.
"You think so?" Mirage asked.
"I know so. And since you've told me your real name, it's only fair if I told you mine." Magnetta said as she stood up.
"When I'm in costume, people call me Magnetta. But, my real name..." Magnetta said as she took off her mask.
"...is Ruby Hawkins." Ruby said as Mirage looked at her in shock.
"Wow." Mirage said.
"So, will you let me train you?" Ruby asked as she held out her hand.
Mirage thought for a few minutes as she was happy to know that someone knew what she went through with losing her parents and assured her that having powers didn't make her a freak. Along with Magnetta willing to give her an opportunity to use her powers to help people.
"Yes." Mirage said with a smile as she shook Ruby's hand.
"Good. Now, I want you to meet me at the Auto Junkyard after a week at the Dakota Department of Child Services. Here's a map so you'll know where to meet me." Ruby explained as she handed Mirage a map.
"Thanks." Mirage said as she grabbed the map.
"You're welcome. I'll be expecting you when you arrive. And don't worry, it'll be fun as I've already recruited one Bang Baby who's been doing a good job with his powers. And I know you'll do as well as he did." Ruby explained.
"Okay." Mirage said.
(Flashback End)
"I'm glad to see that I was able to find this place without any problems." Mirage said.
"Yeah. So how was your time at the Dakota Department of Child Services?" Magnetta asked.
"It was good and I was finally free from my brother." Mirage said with a smile.
"Good to hear." Magnetta said.
"I wish I had Mirage's courage to stop my stepbrother from hurting you and Static." Dwayne said sadly as he looked down.
"Hey, it's okay. You were struggling with what the right thing was. And that's why I've recruited you two." Magnetta said as she put her hand on Dwayne's shoulder.
"What do you mean?" Mirage asked.
"You see, I'm bringing together a group of Bang Baby's to give them an opportunity to use their powers for a good cause and teach them how to control their powers and help them gain new ones." Magnetta explained.
"I'm calling it, The Bang Baby Hero Society." Magnetta said.
"Whoa, that's a cool name." Dwayne said with an impressed tone as he looked at Magnetta.
"It sure is and you two are one of my first members of this team." Magnetta said with a smile as she took her hand off Dwayne's shoulder.
"I can't wait to use my powers for good." Dwayne said with a smile.
Suddenly, Magnetta gasped with her eyes widened as Dwayne and Mirage noticed.
"What's wrong, Magnetta?" Mirage asked in concern.
"I'm picking up some magnetic fields nearby at the city and the attacker is a Bang Baby. We need to get out there and stop that Bang Baby before someone gets hurt." Magnetta said to Dwayne and Mirage.
"Let's go." Magnetta said as her body was surrounded in a white magnetic aura and flew away.
Dwayne saw an old tire and looked at it as his eyes glowed purple along the tire. The tire turned into a go-kart as he got on it and drove after Magnetta. While Mirage surrounded herself in a purple energy aura and levitated after Magnetta and Dwayne. On the way, Dwayne used his powers to change his clothes into his superhero costume. He was now wearing a green jumpsuit with grey boots that went up to his ankles, grey gloves, a blue superhero cape, and a blue face-eye mask.
A few minutes later, police cars, jeeps, and two helicopters were at the scene as a bunch of soldiers ran outside with guns. Chief Barnsale got out of a police car and looked at the scene with an angry expression as he saw Teleportra running out of a bank with money sacks in her hands. She stopped when she saw the police to her right as she turned around to face them with Chief Barnsdale taking out a megaphone.
"Teleportra, you are under arrest by the Dakota Police Department! Surrender yourself and put the money down!" Barnsdale said through the megaphone.
"Sorry, old man! But, I got places to go, now get out of my way!" Teleportra yelled.
"I'm afraid we can't let you escape!" Barnsdale said through the megaphone.
"Alright then. If it's a fight you want, then it's a fight you'll get!" Teleportra yelled as she put the money bags down and got into a fighting stance.
"Bring her down." Barnsdale said to a male police officer standing next to him.
"Ready your weapons." The male police officer said in his walkie-talkie.
The soldiers held out their guns at Teleportra and were ready to fire.
"This is gonna fun." Teleportra said with a smirk.
A few soldiers fired three mini-missiles at Teleportra. However, she disappeared as the mini-missiles ended up hitting the area she was standing on. Teleportra reappeared over the roof of a building as the police officers and soldiers saw her standing on the roof with her hands on her hips.
"Is that the best you got?" Teleportra asked with a smirk on her face.
The soldiers looked at her angrily as they fired more mini-missiles at her again, but she ended up disappearing as the mini-missiles flew through the area she was standing. She then reappeared on top of a car on the left. The soldiers kept trying to fire at Teleportra, but no matter what they did, she was teleporting too fast for them to hit. Eventually, she teleported to the same spot where she first used her teleportation. She looked to see three soldiers behind her as they aimed their guns at her. The soldiers fired three mini-missiles at Teleportra, which exploded into nets. However, Teleportra turned around, held out her hand, and created a blue portal as the nets flew inside the portal. She made the portal disappear as she put her hand down. Two more soldiers tried to fire two mini-missiles at Teleportra while she was distracted. But, Teleportra disappeared and the missiles ended up hitting the three soldiers. She reappeared next to a street lamp on the right as she held out her hand and created a blue portal behind the soldiers standing next to Chief Barnsdale. The three nets came out of the portal and caught some of the soldiers.
"It's no use Chief, she's too unpredictable and too fast for us to hit." A soldier said as he looked at Chief Barnsdale.
"Hey, boys, have you seen the forecast?!" Teleportra asked as she cupped her hands to her mouth.
"Because last time I checked, it said that it would be raining cats and dogs." Teleportra said as she held out her hand at Chief Barnsdale, the soldiers, and the police officers.
A giant blue portal appeared over Chief Barnsdale, the soldiers, and the police officers as they looked up to see the portal. Suddenly, a bunch of cats and dogs fell out of the portal while barking and meowing.
"Hit the dirt!" The male police officer yelled as he, Chief Barnsdale, the soldiers, and the police officers got on their knees and ducked while putting their hands over their heads.
"These guys are fools to think they can defeat me." Teleportra said with a smirk with her hands on her hips.
However, a white magnetic ray hit her as she was flown a few feet away and hit a tree with her back, and landed on the ground. When she looked up, she saw Magnetta flying toward the scene and landing on the ground where her back faced the soldiers and police officers.
"You may think they're fools, but I'm not." Magnetta said.
"Well, well, well, if it isn't one of my sister's friends." Teleportra said with a smirk as she stood back up.
"That's right, Teleportra. But it's not just me." Magnetta said as Reality drove his go-kart toward her while Mirage levitated after him.
Reality stopped and got off the go-kart while Mirage landed next to Magnetta. Reality was standing next to Magnetta's right while Mirage was standing next to Magnetta's left.
"Meet my recruits, Reality..." Magnetta said as she held one hand at Reality before lowering her hand down.
"...and Mirage." Magnetta said as she held her other hand at Mirage before lowering her hand down.
"(Laugh) You really think a bunch of little kids are gonna help you stop me?" Teleportra asked with her arms crossed.
"I don't think it, I know it." Magnetta said.
"Those puny little brats have no chance against me." Teleportra said.
Suddenly, there was dead silence. Magnetta looked at Reality and then at Mirage as the two kids looked at her before the three Bang Baby's looked at Teleportra with stern expressions.
"Bring it." Magnetta said sternly.
"Okay, you asked for it." Teleportra said as she held her hands in the air and formed a big blue portal.
Suddenly, a huge truck flew outside of the portal and toward the three Bang Baby heroes. Magnetta held out her hands as they glowed white along with the truck. She moved her hands to the right to put the truck on the road as her hands and the truck stopped glowing white. Mirage closed her eyes and put her hands together as she was surrounded in a purple energy aura. She put her hands up and created a purple portal.
"Tigers." Mirage said as six Tigers came out of the portal and ran toward Teleportra.
The six Tigers surrounded Teleportra as they growled at her while she got into a fighting stance. One Tiger tried to pounce at Teleportra. However, she ducked as the Tiger missed while two more Tigers tried to pounce on her. However, she disappeared as the Tigers missed while Teleportra reappeared in the same area she was standing on. Another Tiger tried to pounce her from behind, but Teleportra turned around and tried to kick the Tiger. However, her leg went through the Tiger as the Tiger landed on the ground while Teleportra looked at the Tigers.
"I get it, that kid can make illusions." Teleportra said.
Mirage was surrounded in a purple energy aura and had a purple energy ball in between her hands as she made the purple energy ball disappear by closing her fists and crossing her arms to make an x. She also made her purple energy aura disappear as the Tigers faded away.
"Too bad your illusions can't affect the real world since my kick went through that Tiger you summoned." Teleportra said as she looked at Mirage.
"That may be true, but I can do the opposite." Reality said with a stern expression as he looked at Teleportra.
Suddenly, his eyes glowed purple along with a nearby car, as the car turned into Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty (1959), surrounded in green fire.
"Now, shall you deal with me, young girl, and all the powers of HECK!" Maleficent yelled as she caused a huge explosion and green fire that shot up in the air while Maleficent was inside and flew up to the clouds while cackling evilly.
When Maleficent got to the top of the clouds, she was transformed into a giant black Dragon as all the citizens looked shocked. The Dragon looked at Teleportra with smoke coming out of her nostrils as she flew down to the ground.
"Now, this is more like it." Teleportra said as she held her hands to the side and formed two blue portals.
She took her hands out and was revealed to be holding a sword in her right hand and a shield in her left hand as she ran toward the Dragon. While Magnetta, Reality, and Mirage were standing behind the Dragon. As soon as Teleportra was a few feet close to the Dragon, she breathed out green fire at Teleportra. However, Teleportra raised her shield to protect her from the fire but ended up being pushed a few inches before falling to the ground and landing on her butt. Teleportra got back up as the Dragon was about to breathe out another fire blast. But, she jumped back to dodge the Dragon's fire breath, which formed a big crater in the area she used to be standing. The Dragon stood up on her hind legs and tried to breathe another fire blast, but Teleportra raised her shield to protect her from the fire blast as she walked a few feet back. The Dragon lowered her head to snap her jaws at Teleportra but missed as Teleportra jumped toward a building at her left.
Teleportra hid behind the building as the Dragon lowered her head through the wall of green fire until Teleportra whacked the Dragon's head with her sword. The Dragon grunted in pain as she tried to snap her jaws at Teleportra, but missed. The Dragon raised her head and breathed out a green fire blast at the street, causing all the buildings and vehicles to catch on fire. This made the crowd back away in fear as they tried to avoid getting burned. Teleportra ran toward an old apartment as she stopped and looked at the roof before turning around to see the flames getting closer to her. She looked up at the roof again and disappeared before the flames got to the area she was standing as she reappeared and was standing on the roof of the apartment. The Dragon walked toward another apartment that was close to the same apartment Teleportra was standing and climbed up to the roof as she stood on all fours again. The Dragon snapped her jaws at Teleportra multiple times, but Teleportra kept dodging her attacks. Teleportra also tried to swipe her sword at the Dragon multiple times but ended up missing. Then, the Dragon raised her head and breathed out one last fire blast, which managed to knock the shield out of Teleportra's hand as it fell down to the ground with Teleportra watching it fall. The Dragon laughed evilly as Teleportra looked at her and held her sword in the air.
"Now Sword of Truth fly swift and sure that evil die and good endure!" Teleportra chanted as she leaned back and threw the sword at the Dragon.
The Dragon was about to pounce on Teleportra until the sword impaled her chest, making her scream in pain as blood poured out of the wound while she was standing up and looking at the sword on her chest. The Dragon fell down and tried to snap her jaws at Teleportra. However, Teleportra disappeared and reappeared behind the Dragon as it slid off the roof and fell to the ground. After she hit the ground, the fire around the city disappeared and left no burnt marks or damages. Teleportra walked toward the edge and looked down to see the Dragon on the ground as it glowed purple and changed back into a car. The car was lying upside down with the sword impaled on the underside of the car. Reality and Mirage were shocked by what they saw.
"Whoa, she's good." Reality said as Teleportra disappeared and reappeared in front of Magnetta, Reality, and Mirage.
"You're not the only one who watches Disney movies. I've been watching Sleeping Beauty since I was a kid." Teleportra explained.
"Did you really think you could defeat me with Maleficent?" Teleportra said with a smirk.
"We weren't trying to defeat you, we were actually distracting you." Magnetta said with a smirk.
"Distract me? For what?" Teleportra asked.
"For this." A male voice said as a purple electric bolt hit Teleportra.
The electric bolt pushed Teleportra a few feet back in the air as she fell on the road on her back. When she got up, she saw Static flying toward the three Bang Baby Heroes as he landed next to Reality, folded his Static Saucer, and put it in his pocket. Suddenly, she felt something punch her in the face as she got punched multiple times and had her arms restrained. It revealed to be Miss Appear as she made herself visible.
"So, you called your cousin and my sister while I was fighting Maleficient, huh?" Teleportra guessed.
"Yep, it was all part of the plan." Magnetta said with a smirk.
"Good." Teleportra said with a smirk as she disappeared and reappeared, standing in front of Magnetta.
"But not good enough." Teleportra said with a smirk as she held her right hand to the side and formed a blue portal.
She placed her hand through the portal and took her hand out to reveal herself holding a flamethrower.
"Hope you've put sunscreen on your way here because I'm gonna give you a really bad sunburn." Teleportra said as she pointed the flamethrower at Magnetta.
"Oh, no you don't." Mirage said as she put her hands together and form a purple energy ball in between her hands.
Mirage threw the ball a few feet over Teleportra's head as the ball exploded into a flash of bright light, causing Teleportra to close her eyes and dropped the flamethrower.
"Ah, I can't see!" Teleportra yelled as she had her eyes covered.
"Miss Appear, restrain her! Quickly!" Magnetta yelled at Miss Appear.
"I'm on it!" Miss Appear yelled as she turned invisible and ran toward a nearby Grocery Store.
She ran out of the store, carrying aluminum wrap. When the light faded away, Teleportra opened her eyes as Miss Appear wrapped the aluminum wrap around Teleportra, restraining her. After restraining Teleportra, Miss Appear made herself visible again as Magnetta looked at Static.
"Now, Static! Before she teleports again!" Magnetta yelled.
"Got it!" Static yelled as he held out his fist and fired a purple electric bolt at Teleportra, causing her to get electrocuted and scream in pain.
After a few seconds, the purple electric bolt stopped as Static put his fist down and Teleportra fell to the ground on her stomach, unconscious.
"I guess she was in for a big shock." Static joked as Reality and Mirage laughed.
"Good one." Reality said with a smile.
A few minutes later, the police took Teleportra who was still unconscious and took her to the back of a police van. Chief Barnsdale stood in front of Static, Magnetta, Reality, Mirage, and Miss Appear.
"Thanks for the help, we could've been seriously hurt if it wasn't for you guys." Barnsdale said with a smile.
"You're welcome, Chief. You can thank these kids for helping us." Magnetta said as she put her hands on each of Reality and Mirage's shoulders.
"I have to say, you kids did pretty well out there. And I'm glad to see that you're using your powers to help us unlike your brother, Mirage." Barnsdale said as he looked at Reality and Mirage.
"Thanks. I didn't even wanna use my powers for evil, Byron just forced me to help him. Now that I'm free from my brother, I can now use my powers the way I want to use them." Mirage explained with a smile.
"I'm glad to hear that." Barnsdale said with a smile.
"Is Teleportra gonna be okay?" Static asked.
"She'll be fine. We'll find a way to prevent her from teleporting out of her cell before she wakes up." Barnsdale said.
"Good, because if there's one thing you should know about my sister is that she's very persistent." Miss Appear said.
"Thanks for the advice." Barnsdale said as he looked at Miss Appear.
"We better get going before your sister regains consciousness. Thanks again for helping us." Barnsdale said as he walked away and waved goodbye.
Chief Barnsdale got into a police car and drove off along with the rest of the police cars, jeeps, and police van with Teleportra inside as Static, Magnetta, Miss Appear, Reality, and Mirage waved goodbye with smiles on their faces.
"Well, Magnetta, I've gotta admit. Your training has really paid off for both Dwayne and Mirage." Static said as he looked at Magnetta.
"I agree, these kids sure showed my sister who she was dealing with." Miss Appear said with a smile as she looked at Reality and Mirage.
"Thanks. I'm proud of them for deciding to do the right thing and for showing me that they have what it takes to be heroes." Magnetta said with a smile.
"You know what, I actually like using my powers to help people. I used to think my powers made me a freak, but not anymore. Byron was right about one thing, my powers really are a gift." Mirage explained with a smile as she looked at her hands.
"They sure are." Magnetta said with a smile as she looked at Mirage and put her hand on Mirage's shoulder.
"Hey, why don't we go get some ice cream to celebrate?" Reality wondered as he jerked his thumb behind his back.
"I think that's a great idea." Magnetta said with a smile.
"Me too." Mirage said with a smile.
"Yeah, we've earned it for stopping Teleportra." Static said with a smile.
"Say, Mina, wanna join us?" Static asked Miss Appear as he looked at her.
"Sure, I don't mind." Miss Appear said with a smile.
"Good, I'll telepathically contact Richie and Allie to meet us at the ice cream store on the way." Magnetta said.
"Then, let's go." Reality said as he turned around and ran away.
"Last one there is a rotten egg!" Reality yelled with an excited expression.
"You're on!" Magnetta said as she ran after Reality with Static, Mirage, and Miss Appear running after her with the screen turning black.
The screen revealed Magnetta flying high in the sky as she stopped and looked at the audience while levitating in the air.
"I'm proud of Dwayne and Miranda for standing up to their brothers, Aron and Byron. And because of that, they were free to make their own choices." Magnetta said with a smile.
"Too bad some kids don't have the courage to stand up to their older siblings." Magnetta said sadly.
"You see, we all want to fit in and be popular. But hanging out with the popular kids can be a big mistake. They could make you change who you are in a bad way and make you do stuff that is wrong like doing drugs, drinking alcohol, smoking, or vandalism. If you have bad friends, sooner or later they're gonna be bad to you too." Magnetta explained as she pointed her finger at the audience when she said her last sentence.
"A lot of kids feel insecure about themselves with their looks and faces like body weight and acne. You should learn to accept yourself for who you are and don't let other people affect you. Take it from me, I'm known to be the prettiest girl in Dakota Union High like Frieda, and good at all my classes, especially science. You have no idea how many boys asked me out. But, I don't care if I'm popular, I like me just the way I am, and I'm proud of it." Magnetta explained with a smile as she put her hand on her heart when she said her last sentence.
"Just be yourself and don't let other people change who you are because of their negative comments about you. Also, never do anything that you don't think is right, even if other guys say it's cool. That's called peer pressure. If you know someone at your school who is suffering through peer pressure, you can help them by telling a teacher or an adult. Remember, don't let the need of being popular change who you are and make you do the wrong things. Always love yourself for who you are and hang out with people who are good influences to you and people who don't make you feel bad about yourself. Trust me, it's way better than being popular." Magnetta finished with a smile as she flew away with the screen turning black.
I am so sorry for having you wait that long. I was so busy with College and was enjoying my break from school. But, I wasn't going to give up on this story. Anyway, this shows Magnetta teaching Dwayne what the right thing is and how to control his powers. Along with showing Magnetta asking Mirage to join her and revealing her identity to Mirage. The battle between Teleportra and Maleficient is based on Sleeping Beauty (1959). I thought Reality was a good superhero name for Dwayne since he has the power to warp reality. I also thought about having Magnetta break the 4th Wall to give audiences a public service announcement like Static about Peer Pressure. The Evergreen Scouts are based on the Mandy Scouts from Gotham Girls as you could see the reference to Gotham Girls, episode Scout's Dishonor in this chapter. Now that I'm finished with this episode, I can start writing my version of Frozen Out, which I'm looking forward to. I'll try to publish it as soon as I could. I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Please Review.
