Bow to the Pow

On one nice day, Micah works in his laboratory building a vehicle for Power Micah, spending hours on it and completing the project at bedtime.

“What a day! Sadly, the real test will have to wait until tomorrow. I’m beat!” says Micah to himself while exiting his laboratory. The next day, Micah goes into his laboratory and gets on his computer while saying, “All right! Now to find the appropriate course to test out my new Powermobile!” Micah’s computer brings up an image of open land containing a race course with Micah saying, “Perfect! Computer, warp me there immediately with the Powermobile!” Micah’s computer summons a ray gun from a hatch and aims it at Micah and the Powermobile, zapping and warping them to the destination.

“Let’s burn rubber!” says Micah while pulling out his Power Micah Mask. Micah turns himself into Power Micah and enters the Powermobile, starting it up and driving it on the race course while testing out its features.

“Everything looks to be fully functional. On to the other vehicles!” says Micah while pressing a button labeled “Morph”. The Powermobile transforms into a helicopter with Micah saying, “Powercopter is a go!” Micah flies the Powercopter around for a little while, testing out its features until he sees a helicopter in the shape of Trekker’s head cross his path.

“Uh-oh! The Trekkercopter!” exclaimed Micah. The Trekkercopter approaches the Powercopter with speakers emerging from it and a voice menacingly saying, “Well, well! If it isn’t Power Micah and his cute little helicopter! Here, let me enhance it for you!” Guns suddenly emerge from the Trekkercopter with Micah responding, “You want my Powercopter so badly, Trekker? Come and get it!” Micah flies off with Trekker chasing after him, firing the guns at the Powercopter with every shot missing.

“You’re going to have to do better than that, Trekker!” taunted Micah. Micah unknowingly leads Trekker to a body of water with Trekker running out of ammo.

“Curses! I’m all out of ammo!” shouted Trekker angrily.

“I can fix that!” taunted Micah. Trekker looks up at the window and sees the Powercopter right in front of him, facing him with a gun exposed. Micah fires a missile from the gun, which makes direct contact with the Trekkercopter and causing it to spiral down out of control into the water.

“I’ll get you Micah!!!!!” shouts Trekker angrily while plummeting. Micah watches as Trekker and the Trekkercopter fall into the water, subsequently flying off with Micah saying, “Well, that’s all said and done. Now I can test out the Power Plane.” Micah presses the Morph button again, making the Powercopter transform into an airplane with Micah testing out the features.

“All right! Just one more vehicle to test out!” says Micah while flying towards the body of water from earlier. Inches from above the water’s surface, Micah presses the Morph button once more and makes the Power Plane transform into a boat, driving it around and testing out its features while unknowingly making laps around Trekker, who is angrily watching Micah while sitting on top of the Trekkercopter as it sits in the water badly damaged. After seeing all his tests, Micah stops the boat in front of Trekker and says, “Power Boat is good to go!”

“Hey! Micah!” shouted Trekker angrily. Micah turns his attention to Trekker and annoyingly asks, “What is it now, Trekker?”

“Look what you did!” responds Trekker angrily while presenting his Trekkercopter. Micah observes the Trekkercopter’s damage and replies, “Yeah? So?”

“You’re going to pay for this!” said Trekker angrily.

“How?” asked Micah annoyingly.

“I challenge you to a race! But not just any race! One that involves the last vehicle you’ve used, which I clearly see is a boat!” answered Trekker.

“A boat race? You’re on!” taunted Micah.

“But…there’s a catch. If you win, I repair the Trekkercopter and everyone remains free. But if I win, I take over the world, which means YOU will have to repair my Trekkercopter and become my own personal slave, along with everyone else, for the rest of your life! And, I get to destroy your dumb vehicle! Don’t even think about backing out because I will count that as me winning!” responded Trekker menacingly.

“I guess I have no choice. Trekker, you got yourself a deal!” sighs Micah angrily while shaking hands with Trekker.

“Excellent! Now, go home and get your beauty sleep! I’ll see you here tomorrow at the crack of dawn, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed!” responded Trekker. Micah drives off in the Power Boat while Trekker watches him and menacingly says, “Micah, my boy! You’re in for a big surprise tomorrow! I’m going to make sure you don’t win…by cheating! Ha ha ha ha!” As soon as Micah arrives home, he tells his whole family about Trekker’s plan while Trekker arrives back at his mansion and begins building traps with the help of his son (Trekker Jr.). The next day, fans of Micah and Trekker arrive at the water race course where Micah tested out his Power Boat the day before, taking their seats on the bleachers while Micah arrives in his Power Boat as Power Micah and Trekker arriving in his.

“May the best racer win.” says Trekker while holding out his hand to Micah. Micah reaches out to grab Trekker’s hand with Trekker pulling it away and taunting, “Ha! Too slow!”

“Save it for the race, you rusty bolt!” responded Micah angrily. Micah’s Physical Education teacher (Miss Zimmer) appears in front of Micah and Trekker, presenting a green flag while saying, “I want this to be a fair race. No pushing, no shoving, no fighting…all that stuff. Three laps.” Micah and Trekker tighten their grips on their steering wheels as Miss Zimmer raises the flag and says, “Ready…set…go!” Miss Zimmer waves the flag with Trekker rocketing out onto the course, drenching Micah in water as he makes his way out. With Micah on his tail, Trekker pulls out a walkie-talkie and holds in a button while subsequently asking, “Jr.?”

“Yes, dad?” asked Trekker Jr. on the other line.

“Release the Trekbombs!” responded Trekker.

“Copy that!” replied Trekker Jr. The trunk of Trekker’s boat opens up, revealing Trekker Jr. inside and throwing out sea mines (designed to resemble Trekker’s head) in front of Micah, who miraculously swerves in and out of the sea mines as they explode.

“Curses! I missed!” says Trekker angrily while looking in his rearview mirror. Trekker picks up his walkie-talkie, changing its frequency channel and asking, “Trekker Gang?” The leader of the Trekker Gang (Adam) responds with, “This is Adam responding, Trekker. What are your orders?”

“Unleash the Baskers!” replied Trekker.

“Done and done!” says Adam while opening up an underwater cage. A school of aggressive bass swim out of the cage and make their way towards Micah’s boat, getting blown away from the propeller powering Micah’s boat after he increases speed.

“Really, Trekker? A school of bass aren’t going to stop me.” said Micah to himself. Trekker, followed by Micah, crosses the finish line and completes the first lap with Trekker continuing to place traps on the course while Micah’s family watches from afar.

“Trekker’s cheating! Why are they allowing this?” asked Micah’s younger brother (Christopher) angrily. During the final lap, a fishing net underwater floats towards the propeller of Trekker’s boat and becomes entangled, preventing Trekker from going any further.

“Come on, you stupid boat! Go! What’s going on here?!” asks Trekker angrily while attempting to get his boat going. Trekker pulls out his walkie-talkie and says, “Jr.?”

“Yes, dad?” asked Trekker Jr.

“See what the problem is, please.” responded Trekker annoyingly.

“On it!” replies Trekker Jr. while putting on a pair of goggles. Trekker Jr opens the trunk of Trekker’s boat and sticks his head underwater, finding the entangled fishing net on the propeller while Micah catches up and passes Trekker as he remains stationary. Trekker Jr. pulls his head out of the water and picks up his walkie-talkie while subsequently saying, “It appears a net has gotten caught on the propeller.”

“Well, don’t just sit there! Fix it! Micah just passed me!” responded Trekker angrily.

“On it!” replies Trekker Jr. while picking up a pocket knife. Trekker Jr. jumps into the water and cuts the net off of the propeller, climbing back into the trunk and picking up his walkie-talkie.

“You’re clear for takeoff, dad!” said Trekker Jr. Trekker rockets back into the race with Micah on the homestretch, having a huge lead on Trekker.

“Oh, no! I’m not letting you win that easy!” says Trekker angrily while pressing a button. A giant ray gun emerges from Trekker’s boat and fires a laser at Micah, hitting the water on one side of Micah and causing a massive wave that turns Micah upside down. Trekker crosses the finish line and walks towards the podium with Miss Zimmer presenting a trophy while saying, “And the winner is…”

“Hold it right there!” shouted a voice. Christopher walks up to Trekker and turns towards the crowd while subsequently saying, “Trekker’s a cheater! He and his henchmen were putting traps around the course during the race!”

“Please go back to your seat, Chris. Let us get on with the ceremony. Besides, you have to provide proof in order for us to take action.” responded Miss Zimmer. A cart with a TV on top suddenly rolls into view with a man approaching it and saying, “I broadcasted the whole race. Let’s have a look, shall we?” The man plays the tape and shows his shots, which reveal Trekker and his henchmen trying to hinder Micah’s progress during the race with Trekker nervously attempting to grab the trophy and run away.

“My word, Chris! You’re right!” exclaims Miss Zimmer while Micah makes his way to shore. Before Trekker could grab the trophy, Miss Zimmer angrily turns towards him and takes it away while subsequently saying, “Trekker is hereby disqualified! The winner is…Micah!” Micah’s fans cheer while Micah makes his way to the podium and accepts the trophy awarded to him by Miss Zimmer, holding it up while smiling.

“No fair! I won this race fair and square! Now, give me that trophy and let me get on with my world domination!” shouted Trekker angrily.

“Well you certainly are one to talk! You were putting traps around the course to try and make Micah lose! I saw the whole thing!” responded Christopher angrily.

“What?! I would never do such a thing!” replied Trekker angrily.

“That’s not what this says.” says the broadcaster while playing his captured video. Trekker watches the video as it shows him and his henchmen attempting to hinder Micah’s progress with Trekker saying, “That’s preposterous! It could be anyone!” The broadcaster pauses the video and zooms in on Trekker, providing more proof of his heinous deeds.

“That’s not me! That’s someone else! They just look and behave exactly like me!” said Trekker.

“Give it up, Trekker. We all know you’re lying.” responded Micah. Trekker angrily snatches Micah and runs away with him while saying, “Phooey on you broken bolts! Say hello to your new supreme ruler of Earth!” Trekker suddenly runs into a man and falls to the ground, causing him to lose his grip on Micah and look up to find a police chief and his squad standing before him.

“Stand up!” said the chief. Trekker gets up with the chief subsequently saying, “Now, hands behind your back!” Trekker places his hands behind his back with the chief handcuffing him and saying, “You’re under arrest for your criminal activity. Anyone who has helped Trekker cheat is all under arrest!” Police officers approach Trekker Jr., the Trekker Gang, and other henchmen of Trekker’s, handcuffing and escorting them to their cruisers while the chief escorts and loads Trekker into his cruiser.

“BLAST YOU MICAH!!!!!!!!!!” shouts Trekker furiously while being hauled away with his henchmen. Micah turns towards Trekker’s fans and taunts, “Any of you want to join him?” Trekker’s fans nervously sprint home while Micah’s fans celebrate, carrying Micah over their shoulders and going home afterwards.

“Congratulations, Micah! You’ve earned it!” says Miss Zimmer while shaking hands with Micah.

“Thanks, Miss Zimmer.” responded Micah.

“See you in gym class tomorrow.” says Miss Zimmer while walking away with Micah’s fans. A hand places itself on Micah’s shoulder with Micah drawing his attention to the source, seeing his stepdad smiling at him and asking, “What do you want to do now?”

“Let’s all go home.” answered Micah.

“Good idea!” says Micah’s older brother (Matthew) while walking away with Micah and the rest of the family. After arriving home, Micah places his trophy on his dresser and goes outside to play with his brothers, enjoying the rest of his day without a care in the world.

 

The End
