This is my first post on here, focusing on Shattered. (Character profile: Page 16 of Question 20) (Hopefully, I don't screw thing up) A figure moved in the shadows. He moved cautiously, avoiding the gazes of humans and Epics alike. Unfortunately for him, a man spotted him slipping into an alley. Signaling, the man and four others followed him into the alley. What happened next would change the future events forever. ***** "Hey, slontze!" yelled a voice. "Where you goin'?" Derek turned and saw five figures slowly walking toward him. Not responding, he began to run. "Oh, no, you don't!" laughed one. They broke out into a run as well. Derek retreated further down the alley. He felt something stir in his mind. B.A.. No, he thought. I can do this alone. He continued through. YEAH RIGHT!!, B.A. interjected. You're being a coward! If we have your way, we'll never find Mother! Derek sighed with annoyance. B.A. always wanted to go by his agenda. Another voice popped in. If we have it your way, thought KITT. We'll end up as a corpse on the ground. B.A. fell silent. KITT was the only one who managed to keep him quiet. All right, said Derek. Now I just need to find a-. He got no more out. Derek slammed into the dead end wall. He flew back, crashing onto the ground. Groaning, he rolled onto his stomach. The five thugs stopped in front of him. They began to laugh. "Oh, sparks!" one said. "Look, Speedy here broke his nose!" They laughed again. "Yeah, well, when we're done with him," said another. "There won't be anymore to break." Another laugh attacked them. Derek shut his eyes. He hated bullies. An iron grip clamped down on his collar, lifting him up and slamming him into the wall. "What's wrong, Speedy?" teased the punk. "Why don't you run now?" He planted a fist into Derek's belly, knocking the air out of him. Derek coughed violently. "Please stop," he wheezed. "I'm warning you." The gang laughed again. Fists began to land everywhere. His ribs. His already broken nose. His eye. His shoulder. Let me in, insisted B.A.. With me, we can get out of this. Derek shook his head visibly. "No, you're too dangerous." The thugs stopped pummeling him to listen. "I can save you." The sudden change in Derek's voice surprised them. One began to laugh. "This slontze has one of those mental things!" he howled. "Schizophrenic or something!" The others began to laugh as well. So loud, in fact, they did not hear the words Derek and B.A. exchanged. "We can't. W-w-we'll be kn-nown." "You gotta let me. They gonna kill you. C'mon. Fighter or flier?" Derek didn't respond for a moment. Then he spoke. "I'm a fighter." Derek relinquished the controller, handing it to B.A.. Derek's face changed from helplessness to pure rage. Laughing, one punk turned to look at B.A.. Seeing the change in his face, he came closer. "Oh, is the wimp suddenly all mad? Does he want his mama?" A hand shot out, gripping his throat, pulling him in. He choked, gasping for breath. "Yeah." replied B.A.. "I do want my mama. But you be cryin' for yours after I'm through." He threw the thug back into a Dumpster. A sickening thud confirmed impact and the punk slumped onto the ground. Shocked, the other four backed away, nervous. B.A. raised his fists into the air. "Come and get it, suckas!" he screamed. He charged at them. He tackled the first one, pounding his face until his nose broke. Then he rose to face the three others. One dived at him, pulling out a knife. B.A. dodged him, grabbing his wrist and snapping it. The thug yelled in pain. B.A. snatched the knife and snapped it in two. He kicked the punk in the chest, launching him upward. The man screamed in fright as he rose, then fell twenty-five feet. He landed on the ground and did not stir. The two others pulled out guns, aiming them at B.A.. B.A. chuckled. "You boys must not know when you facin' an Epic, huh?" he said. "You better say your prayers." He jumped into the air, doing a front flip. He landed behind them, elbowing one in the temple, knocking him down. The last one dropped his gun. "P-p-p-please. Spare me." B.A. stared down at him. Then he felt someone tug at the controller. Let me handle the last one, Voltron said. They need to see the power. Reluctantly, B.A. handed the controller to Voltron. "You attacked me." Voltron bellowed in a deep baritone. The man cowered, covering his head. "I'm sorry!" he wailed. "We didn't know!" Voltron looked impassively at him. Humans, he thought. They are all the same. Careful, Voltron, warned KITT. We are here to do one thing. Remember that. Voltron spoke. "Look at me." he ordered. The thug looked up hesitantly. Voltron's eyes glowed dark red, then a blast of heat vision hit the man in the chest. The last gang member keeled over, dead. Voltron turned toward the wall. His eyes glowed red, and began to carve an inscription into the brick. Thunder boomed and rain fell. ***** Police Report, approx. 7:37 a.m., Highest Confidentiality "Attention, all units. This report is of the highest level of confidentiality. Any leaks shall be dealt with swiftly. Last night, approximately 10:49 p.m. Pacific Time, five men were brutally accosted by an unknown Epic. Only one survived the attack, and is in critical condition. From the scattered description, our new hazard is male, about 6'0'', wears a leather jacket and a blue scarf, and is relatively young. Due to the trauma of the victim, a full detail of the Epic's powers cannot be realized. We have classified him as highly dangerous. This investigation shall be kept quiet. All information shall be immediately reported. You have permission to kill on sight. Good luck, all units, and hope this sparking Epic doesn't get you first."

Hello all! This is my first post for my character, Arthur Mifune. (Character profile: Page 16 of Question 20.) (Hopefully, I don't screw things up) A car appeared in the distance, leading a trailer. But it was nearing The Dalles. At the wheel was Arthur Mifune. A weapons dealer at heart, he dealed with anyone who was willing to pay the right price. He looked at the shotgun seat briefly to look at his cat and only companion, Kurosawa. Right now, his friend was sleeping, calmly as all cats do. But Arthur was anything but calm at the moment. Yes, it was common knowledge that The Dalles was under control, but he had heard of the events that had been happening for the past few days. That was why Arthur was setting up shop in the outskirts. Somewhere he could not draw a lot of attention to himself, but somewhere where customers would still come. He just hoped that things wouldn't be like back home. Home. There wasn't even a home anymore. He looked around, then pulled over, parking. He got out of his car, and pulled a lever on the trailer. The trailer whirred, growing in size. Inside was his living space and weapons area. He lifted Kurosawa up and put him on his shoulder. "Well, my friend. We're ready."

Here's a small story I wrote. Feedback appreciated. DESTINY The old man sat on the porch in deep thought. A slow, summer breeze floated through the small valley. A small boy skipped up the porch, giggling. ‘’Will you tell me a story, Grandpa?” The old man beamed, “Do you like my stories, Michael? All right.’’ ***** Edward Daniels, more known as Eddie, had been an orphan for three years. During that time, he had lost his siblings and original home. He now lived with his stingy and pompous uncle James. Uncle James heavily disliked Eddie. He managed to keep Eddie as far away from him as possible. He enlisted Eddie into a cruel and harsh boarding school. Eddie’s only friends were his cat, Milton, and Terrence Arkwright, a small, intelligent boy. One day, Eddie and Terrence lay under a slim, rowan tree. “Terrence,” Eddie began. “Have you ever thought of running away and finding your own life?” Terrence shook his head. “No, it has never crossed my mind.” Eddie nodded sagely. “Well, I'm going to do it someday. I've got a great plan.” Terrence silently thought of that idea and was surprised that he agreed as well to the plan. That night, Eddie and Terrence met at the old, dilapidated train station. Terrence's eyes widened considerably. ''Wow,’’ he said. “How long have you been working on this??” “Almost eight months,” Eddie replied quietly. I'm leaving in a week. Will you come with me? Terrence nodded. Eddie smiled. ***** Three days later, an unexpected visitor arrived. It was Uncle James. Eddie was stunned. What did his treacherous uncle have with him? He watched as his uncle sat across from him. “I suppose you are wondering why I am here, boy.” Eddie briefly nodded but didn't speak. His uncle had a rule about speaking out of turn. Uncle James began, “ Well, boy, I no longer have the money to keep you in school here. I have decided to send you to one of the best warehouses in Cardiff. You start work in two days.” Eddie felt like weeping. He managed to stammer, “What ...what about my cat?” Uncle James scowled. “Do you think I care, boy? My fortune is at stake.” Uncle James stood. “It's done then.” His voice sounded like a prison door slamming shut to Eddie. His uncle nodded curtly and left. After he had taken his leave, Eddie immediately came into Terrence's room. Inside were Terrence and his roommate, Harold. Terrence raised his eyebrows. “What are you doing here?” “Pack your bag. We are leaving now.” Terrence shrugged. He started packing. “What do you mean?” asked Harold. Terrence and Eddie turned to him. “We are running away. Please don't tell the headmaster.” Harold shook his head. “I won't snitch. I'll come with you.” Fifteen minutes later, Terrence and Harold met Eddie at the abandoned train station. Eddie held one bag and Milton's carrier. “Are you ready?” Terrence gulped and replied, “Yes.” Someone grabbed Eddie's shoulder. “Not so fast, Edward,” snarled Uncle James. “You thought you could run off without me noticing.” Eddie shook his head stubbornly. “Get away, Uncle. I'm not going with you. ” James grinned sinisterly. “That's not stopping me, Edward.” Eddie threw his hands up in despair. “Get away from me, Uncle!” Uncle James gripped his wrist, like an iron shackle. “You are coming with me, boy! Terrence shook his head. “He is not coming with you.” Harold agreed. Terrence kicked Uncle James hard in the shin. Uncle James howled in anguish. Eddie squirmed out of his grasp and punched his uncle. The small trio ran up to the station. Eddie unveiled his creation with a flourish. Harold gasped in wonder. They had no time to admire the pump car and sail. The trio loaded up and sailed away. The adventure had begun. ***** They had stopped once to replenish their supplies, but hadn’t stopped since. Harold slept. Eddie and Terrence were left awake. “Terrence, I’ve been wondering.” whispered Eddie. “Yes?” “Did you actually want to come with me on this adventure?” Terrence nodded. “I wouldn't want to have missed it for the world.” Eddie grinned. “Thanks, Terrence.” The conversation was rudely interrupted by a loud whistle. Harold woke up sluggishly. “What..what was that?” yawned Harold. The answer was very obvious. It was the express. Eddie reacted quickly. “Let out more sail!” he cried. Terrence and Harold obeyed. The train drew nearer. Eddie and Harold pumped up and down. The terrible locomotive drew ever closer. Closer. Closer. And closer. Eddie made one decision. “Abandon ship!” Terrence and Harold threw the luggage off. Eddie grabbed Milton the cat. Together they jumped. Eddie's marvelous vehicle was obliterated. The group traveled thereon on foot. ***** One day, Eddie remembered his father's old hunting cabin. If there were an answer, he'd find it there. After about a week of traveling on foot, they reached it. “Well,” said Harold. “What do we do now?” Eddie already answered that. He opened the door. A shimmering gold and bronze mist billowed out the cabin. Terrence's eyes were literally as big as moons. “Edward Daniels,” boomed a deep voice. “Welcome to the Light.” Eddie stuttered. “Th..the Light?” “Yes,” said the voice. “Your parents did not die, Edward. It was simply their time to come back. Now it is your turn.” “Can my friends come with me?” asked Eddie. “No, they can not.” the voice bellowed. “What about my cat?” “It may.” Terrence protested stubbornly. “You can't,” the voice said. “I am sorry.” “But I'm the only friend he has got!” wailed Terrence. “Then I will give a proposition,” offered the voice. “When you have lived a long life and have grandchildren, you may come into the Light.” Terrence stared at Eddie. “When will I see you again?” “Terrence,” whispered Eddie. “This is my destiny.” Turning, he muttered, “My destiny.” He turned, embraced Terrence, and waved good-bye to Harold. He picked up his bags and Milton. He walked to the Light. ***** The old man finished his story. Michael clapped. “Thanks, Grandpa! Good night!” “Good bye, Michael.” the old man whispered. He turned. “I am ready. This is my destiny.” An invisible door opened and Terrence Arkwright walked into the Light. “Destiny.” The End

Hello, friends. I am not dead. Nor is Bayle. Given our busy summers, it has been hard to get on here often. But we're back. For my first review of the new season, I will be reviewing Spider-Man: Homecoming. I loved Tobey Maguire as Spider-Man. Andrew Gar-. Wait. Andrew Garfield was Spider-Man? In two movies??! Huh. Then I saw Tom Holland. I really liked his debut in Captain America: Civil War. I just hoped they wouldn't butcher his solo movie. When I saw this movie, I actually almost cried. It was amazing. Tom Holland has managed to bring in his own spin on Spider-Man, and it is awesome. I love how he's not a senior. I loved his inexperience. And, surprisingly, I didn't hate Karen. The movie's overall tone is lighthearted. While the words aren't said, the theme is still "With great power comes great responsibility". Peter learns that being Spider-Man is more than the suit, and that's awesome. Michael Keaton as the Vulture was...I can't even describe how good it is. He was very different from other villains in the MCU. From his point of view, he was doing the right thing. He wanted to help his family, keep them safe, and all of that. Also, as a plus, he didn't die! Most of these villains have proved to be only a one-shot character, but not now. I'm glad. The high school life was just like any other and it reminded me of how much I hate school. Lastly, I really liked the costume design. Within the costumes, they have something that reminds comic fans of their costumes in the comics. Spidey's hoodie suit was great. His Stark suit was like Steve Ditko. And the Iron Spider tease at the end was eye candy. Vulture wears a coat with a fur poof around the neck, resembling the stupid costume in the comics. Shocker wears a jacket remarkably similar to the spandex he has. Looking at these was awesome. In all, Spider-Man: Homecoming was a terrific movie, a homage to everything that we loved about the comics. It even has a few reminders of the good 'ol Tobey Maguire days. I can't wait for the sequel. -

This week, I saw one of the best superhero origin stories ever. Wonder Woman. If there was one movie that everyone wanted to see DC make and not mess up, it was Wonder Woman. DC has had a few terrific movies over the years, but Wonder Woman blew them off their feet, except The Dark Knight. (Heath Ledger forever, man) I loved the overall feel and tone of the film in general. Diana volunteers to leave Themyscira and rid the world of war. She begins to see the wonders of the world, but also the pains. She realizes that humankind is flawed, but is willing to defend them because of the people who make a difference, shown beautifully through Steve Trevor. What really struck me was when she can't hear a thing, but Steve talks to her. We can't hear it either. After he dies, she imagines what he said to her, and ultimately decides to choose justice. That is the moral that I really liked about the movie. Gal Gadot is awesome as Wonder Woman. A lot of people freaked out when she was first cast but it turned out to be great. Steve Trevor was good, but it just felt like Captain Kirk had time traveled back to World War I. The villains were pretty good. I didn't like Ludendorff, but that's because I despise the actor who plays him. As a character though, Ludendorff had pretty interesting dynamics. I loved Doctor Poison. To finally see a Wonder Woman villain come onscreen was amazing. I loved the tone she brought in her scenes. However, while I think David Thewlis does a good villain, I feel he didn't bring the threatening and huge demeanor Ares has. He was good when he was acting as the "ghost", but as Ares, it was a little bit of a letdown. Luckily, Diana compensated for that. Wonder Woman was an amazing addition to the DCEU, and I look forward to showing this to my future kids. -
I actually was planning to do this, because at some point, Eugene will be introduced through Arthur. Shattered will be his own story though. He'll be doing his own thing. (Also, he is inspired by Split, before anyone asks but he'll be much different)

Bayle sighed. He had poked Darkness with the prod at least 53 times, and he still didn't wake. That man had some serious endurance. @Darkness Ascendant

Okay. Do I PM you guys, or is there an acceptance ritual or something?

While Doctor Strange is a terrific origin story, it felt like the Iron Man formula with a few twists. I do like the movie, but it doesn't make the cut. I haven't seen Apocalypse Now. Sorry. -
