CHAPTER 5

Ryan had just swung a sword into Caitlin’s arm, “Wow that looked so real, how did you make it look as if it were going into my arm like that?” said Caitlin, “It did go into your arm and there was no trick at all” said Ryan as he pulled the sword out of her arm, “Stop fooling around come on you can tell me can’t you, or does a magician never reveal his secrets” said Caitlin, “Well if you don’t believe me look at your arm then” said Ryan, Caitlin looked down to her arm just to see a cut in her sleeve and a red mark on her skin which was fading back to match the rest of her skin, “You see you have healing powers, it’s just that currently you can only heal yourself” said Ryan, “WAIT YOU STRUCK ME WITH A SWORD BECAUSE YOU THOUGHT I MIGHT HAVE HEALING AS MY POWER, WHAT IF I DIDN’T HEAL THEN WHAT?” shouted Caitlin, “Well I made sure to not hit any vital spots so you wouldn’t have had any permanent damage probably” said Ryan, “Probably?!” said Caitlin, “Well you know who the most relieved out of us is right now?” asked Ryan avoiding Caitlin’s last question, “Let me take a guess is it you?” Caitlin said, “Nope, it would most likely be Hayden because now he doesn’t have to go and talk to everyone about me committing a murder, isn’t that right Hayden?” said Ryan, Hayden became visible and nodded and then proceeded to turn invisible and walk away again.

Ryan and Caitlin were walking back to the usual spot to hang out, “You know what’s really upsetting?” Caitlin asked, “Death of everyone you care about” Ryan said, “Well yeah but I meant that if I were to just die then Hayden would be more concerned about having to tell everyone then me being killed” said Caitlin, “Well yeah I guess so anyway we should hurry up I’m pretty sure we are the only one’s left to get there” said Ryan as he jogged on ahead with Caitlin following close behind him.

Everyone was all grouped together and were wearing their uniforms Delta had given them, all except Caitlin who had not received one. Ryan went up to Delta and explained what happened with Caitlin and what power she had, “Really? Was the whole making her think she was going to be killed necessary?” said Delta, “Well when else would I get a chance to do something like that without harming them?” said Ryan, Delta thought to himself that maybe giving the crazy person a sword wasn’t the best idea.

Caitlin was looking at everyone with their powers now under control and had thought she had pretty good idea of what the majority of her friends could do, “Okay so correct me at the end if I’m wrong but from what I have seen so far Hayden can turn invisible, Sam can copy things, Andrew can fly, Zac can grow wings, Ryan is just Ryan but more crazy, Delta can make clothing now and Baden is a toaster for some reason” said Caitlin, “Well that’s not incorrect” said Andrew whilst thinking about what was just said.

Ryan was counting all of the people there, “Have James and Connor been here already?” asked Ryan, “Nope I just figured they were off training” said Delta, “Oh by the way here you go Caitlin made just for you” Delta said as another uniform had appeared in his hand, “Try it on and see if your healing can work on other people, I have to go find James and Connor now I hope that they didn’t try fighting each other” said Delta as he ran of to search for them.

Caitlin had put on her newly received uniform and decided to test it out, “Well let’s go find Zac that way you can go and test out your healing powers on him” said Ryan, “No I have a better idea for who I’m going to heal and they are going to need it trust me” Caitlin said as she formed her hands into fists, “Hey come on we can talk about this right? Come on don’t make any decisions you will regret” said Ryan, “Oh I think I will regret it if I don’t do this” said Caitlin as she tackled Ryan to the ground and started punching him over and over as hard as she could.

Meanwhile, Delta was looking around the school and found the top half of Connor sticking out of the ground, “Well can’t say that this is unexpected how did you manage this wait I already know it’s not like this is a real mystery” said Delta, “Could you help me out” said Connor, “Yes this is the first time I have ever had to literally help some ‘out’ no like literally helping you out of the ground” said Delta as he proceeded to explain that the uniform he had been given would have been enough to help him out, “Wait what how?” asked Connor, “Simple just imagine yourself springing your feet” said Delta, “Okay that was the worst explanation I have ever heard but okay” Connor said as he proceeded to spring into the air whilst screaming as if he had just seen a ghost, he fell to the ground without hurting himself, “Come on you’re not a bird stop squawking and come with me, we still have to find James” said Delta as they walked off into towards where James was.

James was still in the wall when he heard the voices of Connor and Delta approaching him, as the voices got so close that they were behind him there voices became silent and remained like that for ten seconds before the sounds of both of them laughing as hard as possible. The laughing continued for the next minute without the laughing dying down one bit James was getting annoyed but couldn’t do anything about it, “TAKE A PICTURE IT WILL LAST LONGER!” said James trying to speak over the laughter coming from the other side of the wall “Good idea” Connor said as he proceeded to take pictures on his phone of the rear end of James sticking out of the wall, “JUST GET ME OUT OF HERE I REALLY NEED TO GO TO THE TOILET I HAVE BEEN IN HERE FOR WHAT I FEEL HAS BEEN A REALLY LONG TIME BUT I HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING BECAUSE I CAN’T CHECK MY PHONE” shouted James furiously as he was hoisted from each leg and pulled out of the wall, Delta proceeded to repair the wall in seconds of James’s removal, “Okay come on we have to hurry everyone is waiting for us” said Delta as he proceeded to create a jetpack and fly over to the area still managing to get their last as Connor and James had already made it there.

When Delta descended he was greeted to his friends all being there at once, “Alright I guess now is as good a time as any to start what do you think Ryan?” said Delta, “Hey so am I the only one that noticed we haven’t been attending school today, like at all we literally just came here to practise using our powers and nobody has been around like at all something strange is happening” said Andrew as he looked inside the classrooms only to find that nobody was inside them, “I guess we can’t hide it anymore, can we Delta?” said Ryan, “Well I can’t believe it took this long for them to figure it out, I mean come on we have been using powers in the middle of the school all day don’t you think someone would have caught us by now?” said Delta, “Alright as you know something’s wrong I can tell you what’s been going on” said Ryan, “Delta and I were planning this late last night as I was studying the extent of his power that’s when he brought up the idea of becoming ‘super heroes’ I was against the idea at first as it had too many flaws to start but as the conversation went on he showed me what he could create, we went out to the road which had no traffic on it at this time of the night so I asked him if he could create a car and sure enough seconds later a car was right in front of us, this peaked my interest and I asked him to create an exact living replica of me, this didn’t turn out well as when he created it the body was alright until it started to breath and then well I will leave that up to your imagination but let me just say that it wasn’t pretty to see that happen especially to an exact replica of yourself, anyway after that I had asked Delta to create a copy of me except this time make it a robot, he did just that there was another copy of me except on the inside he was all machine and didn’t have any programming with him, I guess that’s where Delta’s amazing friend Ryan comes in as I asked him to create a portable super computer and as I asked he created it, now that I had this all I had to do was ask Delta for a few more things and after a few hours of learning the code I was set up and able to create a whole personality to them I was able to give the robot life, anyway I still had some things to make sure of so I got Delta to take me to an empty space of land so I could see if the whole plan would work, Delta’s mode of transportation was different to what I had expected as we got there riding on the back of a clown, I’m still not even sure how he managed to convince a clown to let us ride it but he apparently did it, well when we got to the place it was just big enough for what I had planned and I turned to Delta and asked him to create an exact replica of our school Delta wasn’t sure if he would be able to do it but he couldn’t see why not so he put both hands on the ground and imagined it when he looked up nothing was different so I said how about you try and imagine it being built unless you don’t want this whole super hero stuff to work out, Delta then sat down closed his eyes and imagined the buildings all being built brick by brick simultaneously, I watched as the buildings come into existence it was beyond my minds comprehension at the time, so it took him about an hour to do that I had been watching the entirety of the time observing and learning, after that Delta looked really tired and like he was going to pass out, I asked him if he could manage two more things he nodded and when we got to his house Delta had created me a robotic clone of our bus driver and a buss that looked exactly like ours I finished the programming of the bus drivers brain which only took about ten seconds now that I knew how to code it, then I had some finishing touches before the morning but it was all ready by the bus ride the next day” when Ryan had finally finished speaking he opened his eyes up.

Everyone knew what happened now and didn’t need any further explaining except Baden, “So hey I high fived the bus driver this morning if you were really telling us the truth and he was really our bus driver why wasn’t he absorbed by me?” asked Baden, “You bring up a good point, you see Delta made sure that they were an exact replica on the outside but on the inside the are all machine” said Ryan, “So if Baden were to but his hand down his throat or up his noes your whole plan would have been ruined right?” asked Sam, “Well… yes… I guess but that would never happen” said Ryan, “But what if the bus driver was chocking and Baden had to help him, WHAT IF HE REALLY NEEDED TO PICK HIS NOES BUT COULDN’T BECAUSE HE HAD TO DRIVE THE BUS WHAT IF RYAN WHAT IF” asked Sam, Ryan was silent and then went on to explain the rest but before he could Delta beat him to it, “Okay so you are probably thinking we aren’t at school right now and we are probably going to fail all of our lessons, first off you won’t fail because you missed a day of school and secondly Ryan has created robotic clones of all of you which would have had your exact personality and intelligence if it were up to me but Ryan brought up many valid reasons to not do that so we ended up just giving them the noticeable parts of your personality and their priority is working, so we won’t have any of you needing to study with your robotic clones” said Delta as he gasped for air after finishing his long dialogue, “How do you do it Ryan” said Delta, “I don’t my robot clone does it for me” said Ryan who came from around the corner with a tub of popcorn as Delta look’s furiously at Ryan’s clone.

Everyone still shocked from how Ryan managed to do all of this with the help from Delta, “Alright so what now are we meant to just continue on with what we have been doing because I personally can’t get any better until I have had some real experience” said Baden as he turned his fingers into a laser pointer light show, “Yeah just like a rave without the oil” said Zac, “Oil?” Andrew said with confusion, “Yes Andrew, oil… so much oil,” said Zac looking off into the distance with a face that showed fear, “Okay and moving on to less of… that?” said Andrew, “So how about we decide on out formations? Our strategies? Anything to plan for this before hand at all come on” said Ryan, “Or how about we go out with full force and all at once” said Connor, “YEAH LET’S DO IT, EVERYONE IN FAVOUR SAY I” said James, everyone except Ryan and Delta agreed with what Connor had said.

Everyone was pumped with the thought of what Connor had said, “Well I have a question?” said Baden, “Yes Baden, what is it?” asked Ryan, “How are we meant to know when there and where there is a crime happening” said Baden, “Well I’m glad you asked as you see I prepared this earlier” said Ryan as he pulled out what appeared to be just a regular phone, “Wow thanks you’ve got us all a phone well everyone but me of course” said Baden in a sarcastic tone, “Yeah I know that Delta may have rushed everything without actually explaining what the stuff he shoved into your body actually did” said Ryan, “Oh right, Baden I gave your uniform the ability to give you the knowledge of the functions of everything that was put in you so I didn’t have to go and explain it all so how about you go and say what this ‘phone’ actually does” said Delta, “Well from what I can tell, this was modified to not only pick up the breaking news as priority but also clock into police radio transmissions, this also gives an automatic direction to the location from where you are at the time and lastly from what I can see is that it keeps track of the rest of our team but not tracking the phone but tracking the uniform” said Baden as he snapped back into reality, “Thanks Baden you’re a life saver I didn’t know what I would do if I had to go through one more explanation of something” said Ryan.

The group then all received a modified smart phone each and each one had a unique colour to tell them apart. “Hey I wonder if I can get apps on this and if so how good they would run” said Zac as he tried to unlock the phone, “Well you see I made these specifically for contact uses in the use for our hero business so if you try and get an app you will be confronted with a wall of passwords and codes to get past that would take a super computer at least a year to pass through but as I know the codes it would take me a minute at the longest possible time span” said Ryan, “So what’s the password then? Is it our finger print?” asked Andrew, “Well that would just be unfair to the toaster wouldn’t it?” said Ryan, “Yeah I kind of helped him with the parts and one of the parts he wanted I couldn’t imagine it without seeing it before so he found a way to have it perfectly in sync with the persons uniform as they were each made especially for you” said Delta.

James then proceeded to drop the phone when trying to swipe the screen in an upwards direction smashing it into the ground, “Oh shit not again why does this keep happening to me, Delta can you make me another one?” said James, “Not so fast what do you take me for an idiot I made sure to make it special for each person I predicted this would happen so I made your phone reinforced” said Ryan, “So basically I have the smartphone equivalent of a Nokia?” asked James, “Yeah, but your phone could survive a fall from space without being destroyed” said Delta, “Yeah Delta and I had to do a lot of research for this material and it was the same stuff we used for Connor’s phone also” said Ryan, “Well let’s get a start then shall we?” said Baden with a cheerful tone as he led the was out of the school followed by everyone but Ryan and Delta, “Maybe we should just let them experience failure, you could just stay with me and we could catch the criminal, but personally I would have preferred to work with Baden as he could be used to my advantage, but as you can see he just cheerfully led everyone to their potential doom” said Ryan with disappointment, “What do you mean aren’t they competent enough already?” said Delta, “No they lack so many skills that are needed for a team to work not just the power to take them on alone but we should just sit back and work on our own team work some more because you see we do need a back up plan for if something horrible happens but you see for me I have already put together a wish lists of sorts so please get me these things and we should be safe from all enemies” said Ryan with a big grin, Delta looked at Ryan’s list and it was mainly filled with a variety of swords, “Maybe we could just choose one sword? Would that work?” asked Delta, “Nope you will understand when the time comes” said Ryan, Delta thought to himself that this was a bad idea but without Ryan he wouldn’t have made it this far in his plan anyway.
