Jonathan Winter by Alex and Kevin

“What did you find out?” asked Hobo Joe.  

“I found out that the Monster Realm has its own Elemental Asteroid,” Thomas answered, “They have their own elemental super-beings, who they call their Elites.  I was nearly killed by the Elites, but I teleported back just in time. We have to launch a raid on them, just weaken their defenses, but there is a pretty big chance that we will lose someone.”

“We have to tell the others!” exclaimed Hobo Joe, “Let’s see who volunteers to go.”  They went outside into the Main Square, and called the strongest heroes of each element.  Steven Bolt, Samuel Inferno, and Jonathan Winter arrived, as well as a dark looking hero, a rock hero, and a magic hero.  There were also two female superheroes, one wind hero and one light superhero. The dark hero introduced himself as Willliam Moonlight, the rock hero as Bruce Quake, the magic hero as Anthony Mind, the wind hero as Katie Cyclone, and the light hero as Sadie Shine.  Steven, Samuel, Jonathan, Bruce, and Katie volunteered to go on the raid.  

“Let me go too!” said Hobo Joe.

“No, Hobo Joe.  You must stay behind to train and protect the Academy.  Your powers are not yet fully developed, and can be uncontrollable,” said Thomas, “And now, we must go.”  In a bright flash, the team of heroes were gone.

“Oh well, nothing left to do, I guess,” thought Hobo Joe as he slowly trudged back to the Unusual Ability Center.  Meanwhile, Bruce, Steven, Samuel, Jonathan, Katie, and Thomas were in the Monster Realm. They flew all around the Realm and finally found the Elites.  They charged at the Elites, blasting them with water, lightning, fire, ice, and wind. Bruce stayed on the ground, shattering the Elites’ defenses with earthquakes.  The Elites retaliated ferociously, pummeling the heroes with magic and darkness. Finally, the heroes were forced to retreat, but not without taking the lives of three Elites.  However the retreat was harder than it seemed, as the Elites were still attacking them and they were pinned. Bruce rose up on a rock platform and created a giant rock wall, distracting the Elites while the others flew away.

“Bruce, come with us!” yelled Thomas, “We can’t leave you here!”

“It’s the only way!” called back Bruce, “I have to do it!”

“No, Bruce!” yelled Thomas.

“I’m gonna do it!” yelled Bruce

“NO, BRUCE!!!!” yelled Thomas.  Bruce focused all his energy into the fragment of the Elemental Asteroid inside him.  Bruce’s life and body became pure energy, the shard became an enormous rock, with the same volume as a continent, and fell on all the Elites. 

“We have to go,” said Thomas darkly, “Bruce sacrificed himself to let us escape.  We can’t let his sacrifice go to waste.” The heroes left the Monster Realm, and back at the Academy, they had a funeral for Bruce.  Hobo Joe’s powers had gotten so strong that he could grow to fifty times his own size.  

“We may be able to bring Bruce back to life, though,” said Thomas.

“Really? How?” asked Hobo Joe.

Thomas answered “By…” 

Samuel Inferno by Alex and Kevin

As he melted into a puddle, Thomas Marine yelled, “Your temporary new headmaster is Samuel Inferno!” 

“Wow,” said Samuel Inferno, “It takes a long time to learn how to do interdimensional teleportation.  Alright, so here’s the plan. Steven, help train Alex. I’ll help with Hobo Joe. Let’s start.” So Steven took Alex to the Cave Training Center, which was the rock training center, and Samuel took Hobo Joe to the Unusual Ability Tower, which was built by Anthony Mind, a Ph.D in magic.  The building could add new floors that had anything to fit the needs of superpowers the Academy had never seen before. The new floor that was created featured an extremely high ceiling, various weapons and monsters, indestructible walls, and a magic McDonald’s Happy Meal that would regenerate after two minutes.  Samuel left Hobo Joe in the room, where he picked up the Happy Meal and started

to eat it. After three bites, a hippo-shark fell from the ceiling and devoured the Happy Meal, and then eyed Hobo Joe hungrily.

Hobo Joe yelled, “THOU SHALT NOT LIVE!!!!” as he grew to ten times his size and stepped on the hippo-shark, then threw it like a boomerang out of the window, where it crashed through the wall of the McDonald’s next to the Academy, got a Happy Meal stuck on its fin, and flew back to Hobo Joe.  The hippo-shark ate the Happy Meal when it landed, so Hobo Joe blew fire on it until it was a pile of charcoal. Then he shrank back to normal size, just in time for the Happy Meal to regenerate. He ate as fast as he could, and then just sat there. Meanwhile, Alex was practicing different attacks with rock.  He could now raise fists from out of the ground, and even create a golem that could think for itself. He could also create a rock wall that could withstand Steven’s lightning. Suddenly, the golem turned on Alex. It exploded into shards of rock that flew at him, and in its place there were two golems instead.  The golems kept multiplying and destroying more and more things. Steven had watched Thomas do this once, so he knew what to do.

He flew to the Unusual Ability Tower and grabbed the regenerating Happy Meal. He then proceeded to throw the Happy Meal at the golems, who destroyed it with one explosion. Hobo Joe jumped out of the Tower and grew fifteen times his own size in midair, shouting, “FOR MCDONALD’S!!!!”  His powers seemed to be getting stronger.  He landed on the golems and then started to destroy them with his laser eyes, but the golems were still multiplying and there were too many of them to fight.  A superhero flew out of the Iceberg Training Center and froze all the golems. Samuel came over and slammed his hands together, creating a heatwave that disintegrated the golems..  The ice superhero came over to Alex.  

“Jonathan Frost, ice Ph.D. "Nice to meet you,” he said

“Alex Stone, no degree, nice to meet you,” replied Alex Jonathan flew back to the Iceberg Training Center.  

“I think you should get back to your training,” said Samuel from behindHobo Joe, startling him, “Your powers have clearly improved.”  So Hobo Joe went back to the Unusual Ability Tower and kept up his Happy Meal routine. Thomas Marine suddenly materialized behind him.

“You won’t believe what I found out,” said Thomas.

“What did you find out?” asked Hobo Joe.

Thomas answered, “I found out that…”

Thomas Marine by Alex and Kevin

“Was there any unusual event that happened that might have made you acquire the ability to grow so big?” asked Thomas and Steven.  up and swallowed it anyway.” Steven and Thomas looked at each other and nodded. 

“The solid thing was a fragment of the Elemental Asteroid,” Thomas explained, “An asteroid in outer space that possesses the power to give anyone an elemental superpower.  Occasionally a piece of it will fall to Earth and create a superhero. I suspect Alex has had his own experience with a shard of the Elemental Asteroid. Hobo Joe, why don’t you leave for a second?  I need to discuss something with Steven.”  

“Well, once I ate a Happy Meal that felt like it had something solid inside it.  But I chewed it 

“Okay.  Pleasure talking with you, Thomas.  See you around.” replied Hobo Joe, “If you need me, I’ll be at the McDonald’s.” 

"HOW THE HECK DID HE GET POWERS LIKE THAT?!” Steven screamed as Hobo Joe shut the door.  It sounded like because he got the fragment inside the Happy Meal, his powers were activated by McDonald’s Happy Meals.  More specifically, when someone ruined his Happy Meal. Suddenly, Hobo Joe saw smoke rising from the Superhero Training Academy.  He quickly got his Happy Meal, rushed over, and saw that an army of the crocodile-bats, led by the king crocodile-bat, were invading the Academy.  Steven Bolt and Thomas Marine were outside, repeatedly blasting the monsters with water and lightning, but for each one they took down, there was still one thousand left to fight.  Another superhero came out and started blasting the monsters with flames, but they were still heavily outnumbered. Suddenly, Thomas flew over to Hobo Joe, snatched his McDonald’s Happy Meal, and threw it at the king crocodile bat.  The king gobbled it up in two seconds, and Hobo Joe grew to ten times his normal size.  

“YOU VILE CREATURES!!!  YOU WILL PAY FOR YOUR UNFORGIVABLE CRIMES!!!” screamed Hobo Joe, as he pounded thousands of crocodile-bats into one giant mountain of dust.  Finally, there were no crocodile-bats left except for the king. The flame superhero vaporized the king with one extremely strong concentrated white-hot beam, and Hobo Joe shrank back to normal size.  Then Thomas Marine bought him a Happy Meal from the McDonald’s near the Academy for being a good boy, and Alex Stone created an enormous statue of him in his honor.

The fire superhero came over to Hobo Joe and said, “I’m Samuel Inferno, and I have a Ph.D in fire.  Nice job out there today.” 

“Thanks, I’m Hobo Joe. You did a great job out there today too, vaporizing the crocodile-bat monster king.” replied Hobo Joe. 

“Hey guys, I have to go now.  I have to find the Monster Realm and weaken the crocodile-bats.  See you later. Your temporary new headmaster will be...” said Thomas Marine, as he melted into a puddle and evaporated. 

Alex Stone by Kevin and Alex

“I’m going to find something useful to do, Hobo Joe!” shouted Alex as he left the alley.  As he walked, Alex thought of ways he could make money. He could go to the junkyard and search for scraps of metal that might have some monetary value, or he could try to craft something.  “Yes, that’s what I’ll do. I’ll go to the junkyard.” thought Alex. When he arrived at the junkyard, something shiny caught his attention, and he walked over to it. It was a glowing stone.  “Huh,” thought Alex. “I wonder what this is.” He picked it up. “Aaah!” screamed Alex, as the stone shone even brighter. He wanted to put it down, but his hands were frozen in place. The stone got brighter and brighter.  Eventually it got so bright that it exploded, and Alex blacked out.

“Where am I?” wondered Alex when he woke up. “What happened to the stone?” Alex suddenly realized that he was tied up. “Somebody help!” shouted Alex.

“There’s no point in shouting.” said a tough voice next to him, startling him.  “It’s nighttime, and nobody will hear you. Now, give me all your money and you won’t get hurt.” Alex turned as best he could to face the speaker. The person talking was a big, muscular person with lots of scars on his face.

“I d-don’t have any m-money,” stammered Alex.

“Then I guess you’ll get hurt,” replied the gangster.  Alex covered his face, bracing himself for the pain, but instead of feeling fists slamming him, he heard the gangster scream “OH MY GOD, WHAT THE HECK JUST HAPPENED?! MOMMY! MOMMY! HELP!” Alex peeked through his fingers, expecting that the gangster was tricking him and nothing was happening, but instead of the gangster in front of him, there was a sixty-foot wall of rock.  Alex looked up and saw the gangster at the top, wobbling and barely managing to stay on. Alex started gnawing through the ropes, and when he was finished, he didn’t hesitate one moment and ran away as fast as he could.

The next day, Hobo Joe was wondering where Alex had gone and then, as if thinking about him had conjured him, Alex was suddenly running around the corner and into the alley.  “HOBO JOE! THANK GOD GANGSTER SCARY WANTED BEAT ME UP I CREATED ENORMOUS ROCK WALL RAN AWAY FAST AS I COULD!!!!!!!!” yelled Alex. “Whoa, hold on a second, buddy,” said Hobo Joe, “Did you say you created a giant rock wall?”

“YES I DID SOMEHOW!” replied Alex.

“No way,” said Hobo Joe, “You have to show me.”

“Okay,” said Alex. He raised his hands up and covered his face, and Hobo Joe’s jaw dropped as a pillar of rock rose out of the ground.

“Can you control the ground or something?” asked Hobo Joe.

“I don’t know,” replied Alex, “I’ll try to create a sculpture of you.” Alex once again raised his hands, but this time he stared straight at Hobo Joe. A perfect likelihood of Hobo Joe rose out of the ground.

“How did you do that?” asked Hobo Joe. “I have no idea,” replied Alex.

Suddenly, a lightning bolt hit Hobo Joe’s McDonald’s Happy Meal. “Hey! That was my lunch! Curse you, stupid lightning!”  shouted Hobo Joe.

“Curse me? That’s not very nice.” said a deep voice in the sky. Alex looked up, and there was a man wearing

a blue and black suit with a lightning bolt on it and a white cape with a blue X on it. He was flying, and slowly losing altitude. He landed and introduced himself as Steven Bolt, a superhero who graduated from the Superpower Training Academy with a Ph. D(Permanent Hero Diagnosis) in lightning. He said that he had seen Alex using his rock powers and asked him,”How would you like to go to Superpower Training Academy?”  

Cooban Government Conspiring With Uranians To Nuke The United States Of America From Space!! by Kevin and Alex

On February 30, 2020, American spies revealed the Cooban Government’s plan to nuke America from outer space.  What they didn’t realize was found out by our own reporter, Axes Deenight. The Cooban Government had contact with a species that had made its habitat on Uranus.  They were planning to nuke America by powering a rocket with Uranus gas! American secret agents Klaziphide N. Phormaydshon and Reschrikdet Daukyooment returned to check the evidence.  They relayed their results to Mission Commander Lauhgd Owht and Squadron Lieutenant Eantur Pazwert The Cooban Government admitted to their crimes after the American agents brought out their recordings.  Luckily, the Coobans were able to betray the Uranians and the nuke blew up on Uranus, which has been destroyed. However, as the Uranus gas is flammable, the explosion blasted flaming Uranus gas to Saturn and Neptune, which caught on fire and also exploded when the fire reached their cores.
