Fighting Wars to The End

Micah and Wesley are two best friends who right crime on a regular basis, a lot of which are caused by an evil troll genius named Trekker. His goal in life is to rule the world. But thankfully, Micah and Wesley risk their lives to foil Trekker’s plans for the sake of all mankind. Trekker does take time off every now and then, leaving the destruction all up to some of his henchmen, such as Adam, Butch, and Chris of the Trekker Gang, evil clones of Micah and Wesley, and so on. Sometimes, even giant monsters come stomping into town and destroy anything they touch with Micah and Wesley sending them back from whence they came. With five different powerups, Micah and Wesley can save the world from different environments. Micah’s go-to powerup is usually Power Micah, who can also be used to survive in areas of excessive heat, while Wesley’s go-to is Biking Power Wesley, outsmarting his foes with his super-fast dirtbike. Like Micah, Wesley also has a powerup that allows him to tolerate intense heat, and this form is Westense. Micah and Wesley also have powerups to rescue those in danger at sea, with Micah’s form being Water Micah and Wesley’s being Wesunami. In areas where electricity is a concern, Micah uses his Thunder Micah form to save the day at ease while Wesley uses his Westricity form to lend a helping hand. In poisonous areas, Micah and Wesley have no problem surviving with their Leaph Micah and Wesid forms respectively. When it comes to dealing with something big, like a building falling down or a 50-foot tall monster, Micah can take care of it with the use of his Klaw Micah form. For giant monsters, talk about picking on somebody their own size. Jumping to the present day, summer vacation has just started with 10-year old Micah and Wesley being dismissed from their class, leaving the 4th grade and preparing for their 3-month long break.

“Wow! Summer break at last! Can’t believe it’s here already!” said Micah excitedly.

“I know, right? And we’re one step further to graduating!” responded Wesley.

“So, what do you have planned for summer?” asked Micah.

“My family and I have a few trips in mind. How about you?” asked Wesley.

“I don’t know yet. But, I do know that every year, my mom takes my brothers and I to some water parks.” answered Micah.

“I’ll probably be making some stops at some water parks myself with my family. Well, see you later!” responds Wesley while parting ways and waving at Micah. Micah parts ways from Wesley, waving back at him while walking home with his two brothers, older brother (Matthew) and younger brother (Christopher). After arriving home, Micah and his brothers put away their backpacks for the summer and go outside in their yard to play, enjoying the rest of their day and awaiting summer break. For the first few weeks of summer, Micah and his family go on trips and water parks together, spending all day having fun and taking advantage of what their destinations have to offer. One night, after arriving home from another trip with his family, Micah enters his house and goes off to bed after dressing in his PJs. As Micah and his family sleep, a silhouette enters the house and pulls out a remote, pressing a button on it and subsequently entering Micah’s laboratory, entering Micah’s Warp Machine while holding a giant bag over its shoulder and disappearing afterwards. The next day, Micah awakens to find his mom, stepdad, Matthew, and Christopher gone.

“Mom? Kyle? Matthew? Christopher? Is this a trick? You know I don’t like it when you guys do this.” says Micah while searching his whole house. After searching the house, Micah enters his laboratory and searches for his family some more while saying, “Hello? This isn’t funny, you guys.” Micah looks over at a cabinet, finding it empty while exclaiming, “My powerups!” Micah’s computer suddenly rings with Trekker appearing on screen and saying, “Looks like someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed. Take a look at this!” Micah’s computer shows live footage of Micah’s family cuffed onto some concrete slabs along with other people at Trekker’s mansion.

“Guys!” exclaimed Micah.

“And that’s not all!” says Trekker while showing live footage of Micah’s powerups.

“My powerups!” exclaimed Micah.

“That’s right! I’ve got your family, and your powerups! You want them? Come and get them. Ha ha ha ha!” laughs Trekker while holding out a remote. Trekker presses the remote’s button, making Micah disappear and reappear somewhere in open land.

“Where am I? asks Micah while walking around and observing his surroundings. Micah suddenly runs into another person, who (to his surprise) reveals to be Wesley.

“Micah!” said Wesley.

“Didn’t expect to see you here.” responded Micah.

“Let me guess. Trekker teleported you here.” said Wesley.

“How’d you know?” asked Micah.

“Same thing happened to me.” answered Wesley.

“Does Trekker have your family, too?” asked Micah.

“Yes! And yours?” asked Wesley.

“Yep.” answered Micah.

“Well, we’re not getting anywhere just by standing around. Let’s move.” says Wesley while walking forward with Micah. Micah and Wesley walk forward while talking to each other until they bump into another person. After falling to the ground, Micah and Wesley look up to see a tall kid with blonde hair and glasses standing before them.

“Aaron? Is that you?” asked Micah.

“Micah? Wesley?” asked the tall kid.

“Nice to see another familiar face.” said Wesley.

“What are you guys doing here?” asked the tall kid.

“We were teleported here by Trekker. We’re on a journey to rescue our family. He’s holding them hostage at his mansion.” answered Micah.

“What’s going on with you, Aaron?” asked Wesley.

“The exact same thing.” answered the tall kid.

“You mean…Trekker teleported you here and kidnapped your family too?” asked Micah.

“Yep.” answered Aaron.

“Wow. Trekker’s been busy.” said Wesley.

“May I tag along?” asked Aaron.

“I don’t see why not. Three heads are better than two.” answered Micah.

“Join the club, Aaron. We could sure use an extra hand around here.” says Wesley while walking forward with Micah and Aaron.

“Trekker’s got all my powerups. I don’t know how we’re going to stop him.” said Micah.

“Oh, that reminds me!” says Aaron while pulling out a skateboard.

“Oh, you skateboard, Aaron?” asked Wesley.

“You could say that. But this is no ordinary skateboard. With it, I become…Skateboarding Power Aaron!” responds Aaron while becoming powered up.

“Oh, wow! You’ve got your own powerup?” asked Micah.

“Yep! I made it myself. I’ve watched you guys power up and fight crime so much, I decided to take a whack at it. You two are such an inspiration!” answered Aaron.

“We’re glad to be of service! Oh! Trekker forgot one of my powerups!” responds Wesley while pulling out his Biking Power Wesley Gloves.

“Hey! Those are mine also!” said Aaron.

“You made these?” asked Wesley.

“Yeah! I’ve been looking for them. I lost them while working on my powerups. How are they working out for you, Wesley?” asked Aaron.

“They’re a big help! I use them all the time! Great powerup!” answered Wesley.

“Thanks! I’m glad to see one of my powerups is really benefitting you!” responded Aaron.

“Do you want them back?” asks Wesley while handing over the gloves to Aaron.

“No. I made them just for you, Wesley. So, by all means, keep them.” answered Aaron.

“How very thoughtful of you, Aaron.” responds Wesley while putting on the gloves. Wesley becomes Biking Power Wesley with Micah asking, “You don’t suppose you have any other powerups with you, do you Aaron?”

“I’m glad you asked, Micah. These are for you. I hadn’t had a chance to see them in action yet.” answers Aaron while pulling out a pair of roller blades. Micah puts on the roller blades and becomes powered up with Aaron saying, “With those roller blades, you become Power Rollerblading Micah!”

“Well, as long as it gives me the upper hand, I’ll take what I can get.” said Micah. Micah looks behind him and sees a yellow rodent behind him in roller blades with electrical powers.

“Who’s that?” asked Micah.

“Oh. That’s Pstachu. He’s your companion in this form.” answered Aaron.

“Hi, Pstachu!” said Micah.

“Pstachu greet Power Rollerblading Micah and ready to help!” responded Pstachu.

“That’s our queue! Wesley! Aaron! Let’s go kick Trekker’s butt and save our family!” said Micah.

“Teamwork makes the dream work!” responded Wesley.

“Trekker, you’re in for a big surprise!” said Aaron.

“All right, team! Let’s move out!” said Micah. Micah, Wesley, Aaron, and Pstachu rocket away in their powerups, encountering monsters as they traverse while working together to clear their path. Later on, Micah, Wesley, Aaron, and Pstachu encounter a group of monsters and begin fighting them off while a giant blue bird flies over and lands a short distance away from them, squawking in pain as it holds its belly with its wings. At one point, a monster grabs Aaron’s skateboard with Aaron trying to pull it away from it to no avail, unknowingly approaching the bird from behind. While Aaron continues to try and pull his skateboard away from the monster’s grip, Micah gets punched by the monster he’s fighting and goes flying backwards, colliding with the monster Aaron’s fighting. The monster fighting Aaron gets knocked back by Micah with Aaron successfully getting his skateboard back while inadvertently hitting the bird’s back with it. The bird screeches in pain, lays a giant egg, and flies away in terror while Micah, Wesley and Aaron watch.

“Sorry, Antarco! I didn’t mean to do that!” shouted Aaron.

“You know that bird?” asked Wesley.

“Yes. I’ve seen her around quite a bit.” answered Aaron.

“Where at?” asked Micah.

“Mostly in cold places, like glaciers or mountains.” answered Aaron. As Micah, Wesley, and Aaron continue watching Antarco fly away, the monsters grab and continue fighting them with Micah, Wesley and Aaron fighting them off to the point of them retreating. As Micah, Wesley, and Aaron watch the monsters retreat, they hear mumbling coming from behind them and turn around to observe the egg laid by Antarco. They watch as the egg wiggles around frantically and continue to listen in on the mumbling with Micah exclaiming, “It sounds like somebody’s in there!”

“Only one way to find out.” responds Aaron while lifting up his skateboard. Aaron slams his skateboard down on the egg a number of times, cracking it open and freeing a kid with Micah exclaiming, “Eric?”

“Thanks, guys. I was worried I wasn’t going to make it out.” said the kid.

“How did this happen?” asked Aaron.

“That dumb bird ate me, all because I was playing with it by taking away a worm as it was about to eat it!” answered Eric.

“Sounds more like you were teasing it.” responds Wesley annoyingly while frowning.

“Come on, it was just a joke!” replied Eric.

“Pstachu no like Eric! Eric mean to Antarco!” said Pstachu angrily.

“Pstachu’s right, Eric! There is nothing funny about taking away an animal’s food, especially Antarco!” said Aaron annoyingly.

“How would you like it if someone did that to you?” asked Micah.

“I would be pretty angry.” answered Eric.

“What makes you think you can do that to an animal?” asked Wesley.

“Ah, I don’t need this! I’m out of here!” responds Eric annoyingly while walking away. Micah, Wesley, Aaron, and Pstachu watch Eric walk away and continue on with their journey to Trekker’s mansion with Micah annoyingly asking, “What are we going to do with Eric?”

“I don’t know. We’ll just hope and pray he’ll change his ways sooner or later.” responded Wesley. Micah, Wesley, Aaron, and Pstachu continue encountering monsters and fighting them off during their journey until they reach Trekker’s mansion.

“We made it!” said Micah excitedly.

“Let’s just hope we’re not too late!” said Wesley.

“There’s no time to lose! Quick, to the mansion!” said Aaron. Micah, Wesley, Aaron, and Pstachu rocket into the mansion with Trekker turning around and menacingly saying, “Well, it’s about time you meddling kids showed up!”

“Trekker, release our family…now!” said Micah angrily.

“You want them? Come and get them!” responded Trekker menacingly. Micah, Wesley, Aaron, and Pstachu rocket towards Trekker, who begins fighting them and calling for reinforcements. The reinforcements immediately join in on the fight and knock Micah, Wesley, Aaron, and Pstachu down to the ground, holding them in place while Trekker places a giant ray gun in front of his hostages.

“You broken bolts can never stop me! Get ready to live out the rest of your lives as helpless orphans! Ha ha ha ha!” laughs Trekker while powering up and preparing the ray gun. Micah, Wesley, Aaron, and Pstachu watch in horror as the hostages await their imminent doom. Before Trekker could fire the laser from the ray gun, a brick flies in like a frisbee and bounces off the heads of Trekker’s reinforcements (knocking them unconscious) and over to Trekker’s hands.

“Ow! Who threw that?!” asks Trekker angrily while jumping up and down and shaking his hands.

“I did.” answered a distant voice. Micah, Wesley, Aaron, and Pstachu look behind them and see Eric with a handful of bricks standing at the main entrance of the mansion.

“You’re going to pay for that, you broken bolt!” responds Trekker while charging towards Eric. Eric throws another brick at Trekker’s head, knocking him unconscious while subsequently approaching Micah, Wesley, Aaron, and Pstachu.

“You’re saving us?” asked Micah. Eric nods with a remorseful look on his face with Wesley asking, “Why?”

“I feel pretty bad about teasing Antarco and the way I treated you guys. So, I’ve come to set things right. I’m sorry for all that I’ve done.” answered Eric.

“Apology accepted, Eric. Out of all the kids that pick on us, you’re ok.” responded Aaron.

“Thanks, Aaron.” replies Eric while shaking hands with Aaron.

“Don’t mention it.” said Aaron.

“Pstachu forgive and now love Eric!” says Pstachu while hugging Eric. Eric hugs Pstachu back and places him back down on the ground while saying, “I’ve learned my lesson, little buddy. I promise I will never be mean to animals again.”

“Pstachu trust Eric and expect great things.” responded Pstachu.

“You will not be disappointed. None of you will. Have a good summer!” replies Eric while leaving the mansion and waving to Micah, Wesley, Aaron, and Pstachu. Micah, Wesley, Aaron, and Pstachu wave back to Eric and free the hostages afterwards with the respective relatives showing gratitude towards Micah, Wesley, and Aaron while subsequently meeting Pstachu. Micah, Wesley, Aaron, and Pstachu all go home with the relatives and turn in for the night to await the next day of summer vacation. While in town the following day, Micah, Wesley, and Aaron hang out with each other with Aaron talking about a coin he invented himself after Micah mentioning and showing his Micah Coin.

“I call it…the ‘Aaron Coin’. I haven’t decided yet on what I’m going to use it for.” says Aaron while showing Micah and Wesley a gold coin with his image engraved on the front and Micah’s and Wesley’s images engraved on the back.

“That’s pretty cool, Aaron! I’m sure you’ll be able to find some use for it.” responded Micah.

“Think long and hard, my friend!” said Wesley. Micah, Wesley, and Aaron begin to see people panicking and running away from a giant monster destroying everything in its path.

“You thinking what I’m thinking?” asks Micah while pulling out his Power Rollerblading Micah rollerblades. Wesley pulls out his Biking Power Wesley Gloves while Aaron pulls out his Skateboarding Power Aaron skateboard with Aaron responding, “Let’s kick that monster’s butt!” Micah, Wesley, and Aaron power up and fight the monster, risking their lives to restore peace to Arcanum.

 

The End
