At Norrisville high school, Theresa looked at the school with confidence, with her newfound talents she was gonna make some crazy changes.
Just when she was about to head to the entrance though…
Bam!
A large purple gorilla-like monster with yellow bulging eyes and dressed in a damaged band uniform had destroyed the front entrance. This monster was Bucky corrupted by the sorcerer's dark magic… again…. "Great, hey Bucky…." Theresa started groaning, "no offense but this happened so many times it's not even shocking anymore…." "Smoke bomb!" The ninja appeared again just as the monsterized Bucky grabbed Theresa. "I. Said. I. No. Offense!" She yelled as Bucky shook her around "ninja kick!" The ninja yelled, kicking Bucky making him release the cheerleader, to which the ninja swung her to the rooftops. "Thanks for the help ninja!" "You look like a beautiful star…." "What?" "What?" The ninja swung back to stop the mutated band geek. "Alright Bucky, it's taco supreme day and I saved a special someone!" The ninja hollowed as Theresa blushed. The monster roared and charged straight for the black suited hero. He grabbed the ninja by the leg and slammed him left and right. "This. Is. Embarrassing!" The ninja screamed. "Ninja flash balls!" The ninja threw two small balls at the monster's eyes, erupting in a flash of light, temporarily blinding him. The monster dropped the ninja as he dashed around his foe.
Theresa looked around for anyone else before using her spider powers to crawl on the wall, she didn't want anyone knowing about her powers yet, if anyone did find out it may result in her being experimented on by the government or worse! She looked outwards seeing the fight she looked closely at the monster seeing a glowing triangle in its back. "Bingo!" She whispered to herself. "Yo monster over here!" The beast turned around and saw Theresa acting as a distraction, this allowed the ninja to pinpoint the green triangle and snatch it, then toss it in the air and pull out his sword. "Ninja triangle slash!" He replied as he slashed the triangle in half, causing a green gas like substance to leak out and escape to the nearest air vent.
With the corruptive essence gone, Bucky rapidly transformed back into his normal self. "Ugh… What happened? Did I monster out again?" He groaned, rubbing his head from pain. "Unfortunately yes, but it wasn't your fault." The ninja replied, "not to mention Theresa helped with your destanking!" "Oh really? Thanks Theresa!" Bucky said gleefully. "Just helping a fellow student out!" Theresa replied. "And didn't you say you're saving a special someone, a taco supreme? Ninja?" The ninja blushed underneath his mask and eyes widened. "I-well uh, I- ah… SMOKE BOMB!" The ninja immediately disappeared in a puff of red smoke.
"So Bucky, what happened this time? Did bash give you an atomic wedgie and swirly again?" The cheerleader asked her band friend as they were practicing. The school was preparing a pep rally for the end of the day in a few weeks. "Oh no, I was kinda in the zone with my triangle, but then miss Wickwhacker said that I was a being too loud and was disturbing the other band mates!" Bucky replied, "the next thing I know I'm crying in the bathroom and… well you saw what happened next…." "Well that sounds downright mean!" Theresa replied flabbergasted. "I know but in her defense I also accidentally threw my dinger at Stevens' head…." "Ow!" "I know, but you know, I'm not sure if it's the stanknesia, but I think I remember you crawling on the wall of the school?" Theresa's eyes widened, "that must be uh… the stanknesia! Yeah I mean people don't just crawl around on hehehe…." Theresa smiled nervously. "… did you get caught in a gas leak or something?"
At lunch, Theresa had sat with her klub members: Juggo, a kid dressed as a clown, accordion Dave,a mustache teen dressed with green overalls hat and black shirt, and the klub master Julian a lanky and pale-skinned kid with sky blue eyes and chin-length dark blue hair curled upward toward the end and dressed in a purple top hat with a matching purple overcoat, a lavender t-shirt, a necklace, grey pants, and purple boots. they were still a klub even after the monster uprising and replacing of the twenty sided die. She decided that since she's been a klub member since the beginning of the semester it only makes sense to tell them a secret. "So guys, you know that I've been a klub member for a while?" Theresa started, "you're not leaving our klub are you?" Julien asked, frightened. "No! No! It's not that! I just… I've got something to show—``Suddenly Theresa felt a sudden sense of danger like something in her mind told her that she needed to move, like right now! She immediately backflipped, surprising her, her klub members and bash, who was behind her before she backflipped. "Did she knows I was gonna wedgie her?" Bash asked, surprised. "Is she psychic? I hate psychics! Psychics make me wanna punch things!" He immediately punched the nearest wall before running off. Theresa looked at her klub members who were shocked by what happened, "How did you do ?!" Julian asked astounded. "Yeah usually bash is like farts! Silent but deadly!" Dave added. "Tell you what, meet me after school in the garden and you'll find out!"
After school the klub had gathered in the garden just as Theresa said. "So what does this have to do with your sudden danger meter and enhanced gymnastic skills?" Juggo asked, "ok this is gonna be the most honkin bruce thing you ever seen, but you can't tell anyone!" Theresa said then looked at Julian, "ok, ok I'm sorry about the whole telling people you're humiliating secrets thing!" Julian replied defensively. Theresa then headed to the nearest wall, took a deep breath and placed her hands on the wall. "Uh what's supposed to ha-AAAHH!" The klub was astonished by Theresa scaling the wall with ease. "Well what did I tell ya?" She asked, cheerfully looking at her friends. "Ain't this pretty Bruce!?" "How are you doing that?!" Julian asked astounded, "are your hands and feet made of glue?" David asked, "I'm not sure actually, I just woke up like this after…." Theresa then stopped herself coming to a realization, "like a spider! Of course the spider at McFist industries!" Of course, how did she not find out sooner? She was bitten by a genetically modified spider and she suddenly has these powers? Dr Conners said that the spiders weren't poisonous but he didn't say that they didn't allow a cross species transformation! Instead of giving her a trip to the hospital, instead it gave her the abilities of a spider!
"Are you saying you got spider powers!?" Julian asked, amazed, "I know it's awesome!" Theresa replied proudly as she climbed back down, "do you know what this means!? Dave asked, Theresa then realized it herself if she could use her new powers to help the ninja with situations like with the thieves and Bucky… she could actually be a superhero! Just like the ninja! "With these powers I can…" "Become a superhero!/join the circus!" The klub said simultaneously before looking at Dave. "Or become a superhero!" "But first see if you can shoot a web out of your butt!" Juggo requested, to which the cheerleader gagged, "yeah I'm not doing that…."
As the week went on… Theresa began her new superhero lifestyle, for now until she got the perfect costume, she had to use a red hoodie blue jeans a ski mask, and glasses to conceal her identity, unfortunately that proved to be a double edged sword when she rescued a kitten but was beaten by the owner with a cane because she thought she was kidnapping it.
But she couldn't be everywhere at once, so she needed a new means of getting to places without sweating buckets or passing out the moment she reached the scene.
Fortunately with the help of her friends, her workshop and chemistry class, she was able to at least make something that would work, a portable wrist device that would shoot super strong and sticky silk for use in high maneuvering. "Alright let's test it out! What should we call them?" Theresa asked, "oh let's call them spider shooters!" Juggo recommended, "eh that'll make them think that these shot spiders which is some kind of animal cruelty!" Theresa replied, "maybe web shooters? Like spider webs?" Dave recommended, "that's not a bad name actually! Web shooters it is!" Theresa then aimed her new web shooters at the target only for them to explode in her face. The second test didn't go well either. Nor the third one. Nor several others. Thankfully they were gathering notes on each failure, from the string going limp, to the cans spontaneously exploding into a pile of webs and in some cases caught fire! They finally were able to shoot a perfect silk shot. The group cheered as they finally perfected the design!
Next came maneuvering and balance, they needed to use a building high enough for Theresa to maneuver the webs. Fortunately they found a building to work with, at the rooftop, the klub had watched as their superpowered friend was practically near the edge. "I'm not sure this is a good idea guys…." She told her friends. "But you wanted to be a hero!" Dave commented, "I meant that I don't wanna end up becoming street pizza!" "Just do your thing, like you practiced!" Julian replied, Theresa took a deep breath and a few steps back, before dashing to the edge and jumped off, screaming in fear and excitement before activating her web shooter with a flick of her wrist. Swinging around like Tarzan, "hey! I think I'm getting the hang of—" she was immediately interrupted by slamming into a window, fortunately she was now able to heal much faster than normal humans, the next few attempts weren't so good either, from hitting buildings to falling face first into tables. Fortunately they were able to calibrate the web and to maintain balance for both it, and their superhero in training's enhanced body and prefect the swinging.
As for fighting crime the klub was able to make their own police scanner and database, "all units, precinct receiving a 10-32 robbery on west 15th street, suspect is Caucasian male, mid 40s, 185 pounds, shoulder length brown hair." The test was a success. Theresa put on her temporary costume and dashed off.
The green eyed perp was moving around the jewelry store with a gun in his hand. He wore a green striped sweater and blue jeans and brown shoes. "Now give me all the money in the cash register and I'll get out of your way, got it?" He commanded before hearing the sound of glass being tapped on, he turned around ,seeing the costumed vigilante and groaned, "oh not you again!" He complained before shooting the glass, the spider themed hero jumped to dodge the bullets before dropping and lassoed him with webbing. "Yup me again marko!" She quipped, "this like what the fifth time I stopped you?" "Sixth actually…." The perp, flint marko, growled. "Awe you kept count? How sweet!"
The next day two police officers headed out the precinct. The police had heard about this supposed new hero and weren't too happy about it. "Any description?" One asked, "no she wears a mask." "A mask?" "But most of her victims have some serious wrap sheets, we're talking some low time thugs to seriously dangerous creeps like murderers and high class kingpins!" The officer explained, "in fact some are calling her a vigilante!" "Ok let me stop you right there." The other officer interrupted. "This kid, whoever she is, ain't a vigilante, if anything she's an anarchist!" Suddenly flint was suspended dangling behind the two officers. "Someone help me!" He cried out, "arrest me if you have to, just get me down from here!"
Now all that was left was the costume, Theresa had looked up different materials that would work, one of which stood out: spandex. She had many ideas for the costume, all of which she scrapped, that is until she thought of one that would be perfect.
After gathering the spandex and some hard plastic, she and her klub had begun making the costume, using the colors of her old costume for the color scheme. And white lenses from sunglasses for the eyes. Once it was completed they marveled at their creation: it was a red and blue jumpsuit with a red hood and white mask. The body had a large white spider on the chest with a web pattern underneath the red upper chest and a red spider belt on the hips. The arms had red and blues with black webs on the lower arms, the legs had blue upper legs that were turned red by white arrows on the knees. The shoes and gloves were red with blue fingertips and soles. And to top it all off it had a white spider web cape behind it. "So what's with the cape?" Julian asked, confused. "Don't superheroes usually wear capes?" Theresa asked, only to receive a No from her friends. "Huh… well I'm still keeping it!"
The day of the pep rally had arrived and Theresa arrived just in time. "Miss Fowler, you came here later than expected!" Said Miss Wickwhacker, the band instructor. "Oh I just came from… the bathroom yeah!" Theresa lied hastily, she didn't just come back from a fire rescuing several people nope! While she didn't want to have to lie to her friends and family, she had no other choice, she didn't want people to know that she had a superhero life.
The pep rally went on rather well, with Theresa twirling her baton around to show off her school spirit, and her friends sitting on the bleachers. That is until Randy and Howard came crashing through the double doors with a large paper mache carp in their hands. "YO NORRISVILLE! WHOS READY FOR SOME SCHOOL SPIRIT!" Randy cheered, startling everyone, who stared in surprise. "How about a SMORGASBORD OF SCHOOL SPIRIT!" Howard added before pulling out a button attached to the carp and clicking it, nothing happened. Howard tried again, still nothing. The overweight kid clicked several times before the carp started rumbling then….
BOOM!
Randy and Howard sat in the bleachers in disappointment, covered in blue paint and orange paper mache. "Well that shoobed up big time!" Howard replied. "I don't wanna talk about it." Randy growled. Meanwhile Theresa looked at the two and walked up to them. "Hey fellas…." She greeted, to which Randy flinched. "Ah-ah Theresa!" He stammered, trying to look cool while Howard merely smiled. "W-what are you doing here…?" "I'm part of the twirl team, silly!" Theresa replied before looking at the band. "What's up with them?" She asked, pointing at the band, it appeared that Miss Wickwhacker was taking Stevens' trombone. "Wow, looks like Stevens did one too many sad trombones…." The obese freshman commented. Stevens then ran away crying with his trombone before hiding in the bathroom.
Meanwhile deep underneath the school, a dark figure lay on a large rotten pillar. This figure had green almost reptilian skin, long sharp claws, sickly uneven green teeth, and a long forked tongue, he wore a tattered brown kimono with a hood, and a string of sickly green pearls around his waist and two golden chairs around his wrists. This figure was the ninja's arch enemy: the sorcerer, who was imprisoned by the first ninja back in the thirteenth century. He sniffed the air, sensing Stevens' humiliation. "Mmmm… the beautiful scent of dejection… with a dash of humiliation… and the slightest hint of band sweat…." He described Stevens' pain, before laughing maniacally while conjuring the same green gas that turned Bucky into a monster, before releasing into the ventilation ducts above him.
At the same time Stevens kept crying with his eyes out while hugging his trombone. Suddenly the gas leaked through the nearest ventilation duct and infused itself into Stevens trombone, this caused Stevens to convulse and transform into a monster….
Back in the gym, the three classmates had continued their conversation. "You don't say?" Theresa giggled, "yeah! We're the first freshmen to make a makeshift bazooka from metal and paper Mache!" Randy answered. "Say, you doing ok? You look a little tired." Howard pointed out, seeing bags under Theresa's eyes, to be honest she wasn't getting enough sleep with her becoming a superhero and catching criminals and saving innocent people. She didn't exactly get into perfect condition. "Uh… I was busy practicing and I lost track of time!" Theresa lied. "Changing subject: do you think the ninja should have at least a partner or the help of a new superhero?" The cheerleader was met with silence at first then laughter from her fellow classmates. "Another superhero? Get real!" Howard laughed. "The ninja's been around for 800 years and hasn't had a partner, not even a sidekick!" "Well the world is full of surprises like that rumor about a new vigilante!" Theresa commented, which was weird given the fact that she's the vigilante. "Which is what it is! A silly little rumor!"
Suddenly the ground shook and the wall behind them exploded, everyone else screamed as what came through was a large bat-like monster with an enormously large mouth and wearing sunglasses. While the three students dashed off in different directions.
Randy hid under the bleachers where he pulled out a napkin to wash face then pulled out his ninja mask and put it on transforming himself once again into the ninja! "It's ninja o'clock!"
At the same time Theresa hid in the locker room where she opened her locker, grabbed a large duffel bag and scurried outside, where she opened it up and pulled out her spider costume. "Time for the ninja to meet the spider!"
The monsterized Stevens destroyed everything in his path until, "Smoke bomb!" The ninja appeared and stood in front of the mutated student. "Drop that bleacher!" He commanded, Stevens slammed it into the ninja. "Should have been more specific…." He grunted before jumping into the air and pulled out a chaincile. "Ninja chaincile!" He yelled as he latched onto Stevens' back and mouth with the chain only for it to break and the ninja to be bounced off, and into the skylight, making it break. The ninja quickly got up and pulled out his sword, and dash towards the monster. "Ninja sprint!" The monster then screamed a sonic blast, strong enough to blow the ninja back. "Not cool Stevens…." He groaned before pulling out a pair of small balls. "Ninja hot balls!" He threw the balls at the monster, only for the beast to eat them and spit them back out as fire balls. The ninja immediately dodged them. "Oh come on, how is that even possible?!" The ninja then threw blue and white balls. "Ninja cold balls!" Only for the same events with the hot balls to happen. Then another sonic screech.
Underground, the pearls around the sorcerer continued to glow and swirl around. "You won't stop me this time ninja, this creation of mine is unstoppable!" He laughed maniacally as a swarm of stank swirled around him.
Things weren't looking too good for the ninja, he was running out of options with the monster being able to resist his attacks, all hope seemed lost… until…
"Uh excuse me!" The two looked up and saw a figure up on the broken skylight. "Can I use this or do I have to do my own dramatic entrance?" The figure then leaped downwards before shooting a white sticky substance at the monster's eyes. The ninja got a better look at it, it looked like a woman dressed in a skin tight red white and blue spider jumpsuit with a cape and hood. "Nice to meet ya ninja!" She replied before the monster screeched again. The figure jumped to the ceiling, immediately sticking to it, while the ninja dodged it from the side. "Quite the charter box aren't you?" The figure quipped. "Uh who the juice are you?!" The ninja freaked. "Why I'm your friendly neighborhood spider gal of course!" The figure, spider gal, replied smugly. The monster screamed again before spider gal webbing the monster's mouth shut. "There! That oughta shut you up!" Spider gal replied, the ninja didn't know how to feel about this he heard rumors about this supposed vigilante but didn't think they were actually true! "Whoa whoa whoa hold up! You're spider gal!?" The ninja yelled, dashing around the criminal. "I thought you were just a fairytale!" "Says the guy who's 800 years old!" Spider gal replied as she webbed up the rest of the mutated band geek. "Now how about we turn this creep back into a geek?" "Oh yeah!" The ninja replied looking for something to destank the monster, before seeing the trombone. "Got it ninja snatch and slash!" He yelled, snatching and slicing the trombone in half and releasing the stank. Tuning the beast back into a band geek.
With the band geek de mutated the ninja looked at the we head in dissatisfaction. "Look uh spider gal was it? Norrisville's already covered with their own superhero so how about you just leave and all will be cool, got it?" He replied, "seriously? I did like 80% of your job!" Spider gal argued, "the next time you have a super tough monster that is totally p'wning don't come crying to me!" Spider gal then web swinged away.
Meanwhile underground, the stank returned to its master, who roared in anger. "Impossible! My monster was practically unbeatable!" The sorcerer growled before the funk showed something important. "What in…?" The stank showed the eight legged vigilante webbing up the monster. This however brought intrigue to the sorcerer. "So… she does exist…"
