Friday 28th October
Ok, so here's the plan.....revenge!
Yeah I know not very original, but I don't care, I want revenge on those freaks from the prom.....the whole damn school!!!
I've been practicing some more with my new powers and I'm getting pretty good. As well as my dark shield, I can focus all my strength into one fast punch or I can do a lot of smaller, faster punches and really let rip with it! Should be more than enough to stop the likes of Mike Roberts and his football friends. Only trouble is, it really tires me out if I use them for too long, I was, like, totally shattered last night when I got home. No worries, will be able to take them out fast enough.
Another advantage of my shield, covers me all over, including my head, so I don't need to wear a disguise or anything. Means I don't have to look like some stupid hero wannabe as well, no masks for me, no way!
Just to be careful though, I'm gonna wear something I wouldn't normally. Instead of my usual shirt and tie I'm gonna wear some jeans and a t-shirt, plus, I grabbed my brothers biker jacket. It's a bit big for me but at least no one will recognise me easily. Can't get rid of my damn specs though, still blind without them. Ah well, the mist covers that up nicely.
Anyway, plan is this. After school finishes, I'm hanging around for a while. It's dark enough after football practice finishes that no one will spot me hanging around, no one ever takes any notice of me anyway, except to ram my head in the toilet. So I'll wait nearby and wait for Roberts and his cronies to come out......then I'm gonna beat the living [censored] out of them!!
Man, this is gonna be freaking cool!!
We built this city on Rock and Roll!
Friday 28th October - Addendum
Oh man, this is bad, this is so bad!! I need to get out of here or I'm in some serious trouble!
Damn that witch, why did she have to interfere!!
Oh hell.....I can hear police sirens!! Oh man!!

Tuesday 1st November
Ok, that wasn't as cool as I expected. In fact it went beyond expected and out the other side!
I think I'm a Super Villain!!?!?
Ok, here's what happened.
The plan was to get those stupid jocks and their [censored] cheerleader girlfriends. I had it all sorted, I was waiting on the roof of the school gym with a perfect view of the doors where I knew they would leave. In fact, it started perfectly!
So they come out of the doors, all laughing and giggling to themselves, morons that they are, no doubt they've just made some poor kid look stupid again. This is it, I thought, this is were I get my revenge.
I jumps off the roof right in front of them, scaring the [censored] out of the girls, you should have heard them scream, it was great! Then that loser Roberts looks at me and realises who it is.
"Yo, Wimp, that you? What the hell you doing scaring my ladies? You a mentalist or something?!?" he says to me, all tough and cocky.
"I owe you, Roberts, you and your friends!" says me.
"You owe me? YOU owe ME?!" He says, starting to laugh. Of course this sets his friends off.
That was it, I saw red. I know I've always had a temper, you would too if you had a dad like mine, always making you feel bad and beating on your mom, but this time I really started to lose it. I started screaming and running at him without thinking, not remembering to turn my powers on. Without, I'm just plain old Horace Wimp, so not surprisingly, Roberts just grabbed my head and left me standing there like an idiot.
Then I surprised him. I was still furious, but managed to come to my senses a bit. I stopped, concentrated for a second and the black mist started to cover me. Man, you should have seen the look on his face, he totally got scared! He let go of my head and I just stood staring at him, grinning. I think that freaked him out most, actually. They all started backing away from me, looking more scared by the second. That's when I flew at Roberts.
I grabbed his jacket and just....picked him up. Both hands. Right up in the air. I'm stood there holding this guy above my head and he's shrieking like a little girl! At this point, I threw him against a wall. That's when his friends came at me. The first one, Eric something, threw a punch at me that normally would have taken my head off, but to me it was just like slow motion. I grabbed his hand before it could hit me and just stood holding his fist. He tries to pull away, but he's got no chance now. Before he's even had chance ot blink, I throw one of my single, strong punches at him, not too hard though, I'm annoyed, but I'm no killer. He drops like a sack of potatoes!
Hehe, by this point the girls are screaming and the rest of the football players are all backing off, looking at each other and not sure what to do. Fools, after a short pause, they all decided to rush me! I just launch into a massive flurry of punches and next thing they know, they are all on the floor! Brilliant! Let them laugh at me now!
As I look around though, I see all the girls have gone, except one. Seems Stacey Benson has a bit more guts than I thought she had cos she's on the floor, in tears, next to Roberts who's laid in a heap next to the wall I threw him at. I goes over to them and stands over them, wondering what to do next. I know what I wanna do, but I don't like the idea of forcing anything on her, I just want revenge for making me look stupid at the prom.
I grabs her by her hair and pulls her up. She's sobbing and begging me to let her go, man this is great, she'll never make me look stupid again. Next thing I know my jaw explodes and I'm laid on the floor, halfway across the damn street!
I try to stand up and my head is spinning. I dunno what hit me but damn, it hurt. Luckily I seem to be ale to recover quickly now, especially if I have my shield up. Takes the brunt of it. Not this time though. I look around trying to work out what the hell hit me and then I see the witch.
Stood in the middle of the path, right in front of the losers is this girl in a pink outfit. Short, but thin, with long red hair and a mask on. Great, a Hero, that's all I need.
"Back off sister, I owe these guys a kicking!"
She just looks at me and stands there, not saying anything, like some judge deciding what to do with me.
"You're not hurting these people. Understand?" she says, not moving. Damn this witch is annoying. So bloody sure of herself. Well, I thought, I'll show her.
I concentrated and my shield reappeared again. I ran at her, knowing that I could take her and I threw my fast punches at her. She dodged the whole damn lot of them!
"What the fu.."
My jaw then exploded as her leg came from nowhere and knocked me flying!
"Nice shield" she says, "Wanna see mine?" she says, looking at me with a grin on her face. Then the weird thing happened. As I'm watching, the same black mist that covers me started to cover her as well! I panicked then and starting throwing punches at her without thinking. I don't think I managed to connect with any of them, she either moved out of the way or blocked them with her arms. Then I'm on the floor again thanks to one her kicks! Sod this, I thinks, I'm out of here, the losers will wait!
"Another time, witch!" I shouts turning to run.
"Anytime.....Horace" she replies, with a smile.
Oh hell, she knew who I was!
Anyway, I got home and started racing round my room, in a mad panic! What the hell was I gonna do?!? She knew who I was! Man, I was totally freaking out! I grabbed the book and stashed it outside in the garden, I have a little hiding place in the bushes that no one knows about so I know it will be safe there for now and I headed back up to my room to get this diary and some clothes. I was gonna hide out for a while. That's when I heard the sirens and saw the flashing blues through the window. That WITCH had turned me in!
Next thing I know I'm in the police station with my mom, trying to make out it wasn't me and that I was being framed! I knew I couldn't use my powers then, if I did that was it, I'd have been admitting it was me, but it was no good, they knew. So I decided to bide my time, wait for the best time to get away. Trouble is, I left it too late and I was arrested and sent down. Damn judge decided to make an example of me as well. Turns out the Paragon City mayor has this idea to stop young kids turning to crime. Anyone of my age who gets caught doing anything majorly wrong is sent to freaking prison!! With all the murderers and psychos! We just get put in a separate section to keep up "safe." Yeah, right!
Anyway, I'm there, locked in the damn Ziggurat with all the really nasty villains that the damn masks have arrested. Had to spend the night there as well. That was not fun! Next morning though, that was something else!
I'm laid in my cell (a cell, can you believe I'm in freaking prison?!?) and there's this massive explosion somewhere nearby! Next thing I know, the automatic doors to my cell open up and I'm free?!? I go outside my cell, real careful, just in case, and it's mayhem out there. All the bad guys in the prison (who, by the way, aren't anywhere near as bad as I thought they would be) are running around, talking to these guys in black costumes who are there to break us all out!
Apparently these guys work for someone called Lord Arachnos, some major league bad guy who is trying to build his army of super powered bad guys. These guys in the black costumes work for him and have caused the breakout to bring him to his place in the Rogue Islands, a set of islands off the coast of the US where he's in charge. How cool is that, owning your own country!!
Anyway, next thing I know, I'm being approached by these goons and asked if I want to sign up. They don't care about how small I am or how young I am, they just see the power I have. Well, it's either that or stay in the Zig and rot, so what else am I gonna do? After being sent to help some guy called Jenkins who went racing ahead like some kind of noob and got himself into trouble, I'm whisked off to Mercy Island and I'm starting a new life as a super villain! Totally cool!!
Still, I owe that witch in pink one, Shrapnel I think her name was. Heh, well, she'll find out what true power is soon enough!

(( Enjoying the diary 
Carry on Horace *g* ))
Nice origin story, Horace Good teaming with you the other day too.
Heh, thanks for the comments, but I'm gonna stop the story here i think, plus I'm deleting the toon as well, so it's a little pointless carrying it on

They laughed at me.
They all LAUGHED AT ME!!!
I knew it. I knew I shouldn't have gone to the damn prom!! Bloody Stacey Benson and her cronies!! Stupid bunch of Barbie wannabes! I only asked if she wanted to dance, that's all! So what if she's a couple of years older than me, she didn't have to do that, she didn't have to HUMILIATE ME!!
A single dance, that's all I wanted...
No, they had to just laugh at me and make me look stupid! Damnit, even the school nerds were laughing, pretty certain that some of the teachers were as well! Only one who didn't was the new girl, Katrina something. Probably doesn't know who the cool kids are yet.
And as for Mike Roberts, he's so gonna get it, I'll think of a way.
Maybe that book will help me.
Wednesday 26th October
Hmm, this could be interesting.
After running out of the prom I took a different route home, came through Steel Canyon instead of Kings Row, fed up with all the damn clocks roaming around in there. Big mistake, I know, I forgot about all the stupid Circle's in there as well.
But lucky me, I was "saved" by a "Hero"...Ooooooooh, aren't I the lucky one!
You know, I hate the heroes as much as I hate the Populars at school! I bet all the heroes were the same at school, all cheerleaders and sport stars, yeah, I bet that's how they kept winning at sports, their damn powers! Cheaters, the lot of them, no respect for us "geeks" who actually get things done in the world! Ahh, they'll learn, you watch!
Anyway, I found this book as I was walking home. A bunch of wizards from the Circle of Thorns were in Steel fighting one of the loser heroes, I recognized him from TV, the one who throws coins at people (yeah, really scary!) Anyway, he knocked these wizards on their [censored], sent them flying actually, and one of them dropped a book, right next to my feet. They were too busy legging it to wonder where the book was, so I picked it up as they ran away. I didn't know what it was at the time, thought it might be something I could sell. Heh, I won't be doing that!
It's some kind of magic book. I had a read of it after school today (the "Populars" were still ragging on me after the prom, losers!) and it's got some really cool stuff in it! At first I thought it was all in gibberish, but it's just a different language, so I scanned it into my computer and used the translation program I have for Spanish homework (yeah, like I'm ever going to Spain!) and patched it in with the decoding software I got from Astalavista. About an hour later, hey presto, a magic book filled with spells for me to use!
Best of all, one set of spells is designed to tap into some sort of Dark Universe and "enhance" the spell caster. I think I'll give it a go tomorrow, should be fun!
Thursday 27th October
OH MY FREAKING GOD!!!!
This is INCREDIBLE!!!
Ok, I did that spell, the dark universe one? Seems I managed to do it fine. At first, like, TOTALLY scary! This black mist covered me all over, made me float in the air and spin around! Like I say, totally freaky!
Then, I heard these weird voices, in the distance, mumbling and chanting something...then the freaky mist went inside me!!!
Jeez, I was totally bugging! I ran off to the bathroom, tried to, I dunno, wash it out of me or something! I caught me reflection in the bath cabinet, MY FREAKING EYES WERE BLACK!!!!
I was sat there, shaking and rocking myself when I heard Mom downstairs, so jumped up quick and my eyes were normal again! Man, I was so freaked out I actually ran downstairs and gave Mom a hug! She looked at me like I was a mentalist or something! Can't say I blame her though.
Anyway, I went back to my room and sat thinking. Then it happened. I was thinking about the mist and what it might do to me and the mist started to seep out of me and covered me all over....and I felt so STRONG! I picked my bed up...in ONE HAND!!!
Totally cool!!
So I went out, didn't wanna freak out Mom if she came into my room. She's always doing that, so annoying, total lack of privacy! Anyway, I went out to the school yard, I knew no one would be there. I thought I'd give myself a test and DAMN, but I rock!! Pick up a stone and then concentrated. The black mist comes out again, CRUSHED the rock in my fingers! How cool is that!!
And best bit, I can move my hands like lightning!! I punched the school wall about a dozen times in a second....and broke right through it! Glad no one was about, don't need to get busted for that!
Last test I tried, I acted like a total noob. Pick up this massive rock from the school field, one of those stupid modern art things, massive it is, but I managed to pick it up real easy. Then I slipped on a empty bag of chips. Like I said, total loser. But here's the cool part&....the big rock fell on me and didn't hurt!! Well, ok, a little bit, but it should have squashed me flat and it didn't, just landed on the mist and bounced off. All I got was a little bruise on my arm and that was it!
Man, I am so gonna get the "Populars" now!! I have a plan....
