After school I start walking to the school bus. I was talking to Candy. "I am going to get a call home today, saying I arrived at the end of first period. How am I going to explain that to my parents? I never skipped out. I never lied, if I could help it. What am I going to say?"
She never got the chance to answer. I felt Link vibrate in my pocket. I took out the earpiece and listened. "Level eight. Robbery. Unknown suspect. Vickson Avenue." Again? I looked at Candy. She smiled, "I'll see you at your place." I nodded. I ran back inside into the girl's bathroom, and into a stall. I clicked my bracelet and turned into the now recurring hero. I flew out the window it had and flew over to stop the robbery, in the same bank, on the same day!
I landed down to the ground in front of it. It was different this time. The doors were broken. I entered. If this is what I think it is, then I could be in some serious trouble. I looked around, to looked above the counter to see a scared woman. "Don't eat me! Please!" She cried, tears running down her face. I floated over the counter. I said, "Take it easy, I'm not here to hurt you. Now tell me what happened." She was sucking in breathes every ten seconds. "He came in here, after the police left. He-he-he killed the guards, and killed everyone that got in his way. He was a monster! The bullets, they bounced off-they bounced off! He keeps changing shape!" I calmed her down a bit. "Shhh. Shhh. Its OK. Just stay here and call the police, OK?" She nodded, like, a million times.
I flew over the counter and continued to walk to the safe. I saw a grown man in some ripped up clothes. He was stuffing money into these big bags. I folded my arms, "How many times do I have to save this bank today?" The guy jerked around. He was cover in scales, big ones. I said, "Who are you? And who did you get to do your face? They must be great with monster make up." He growled. "The name's Rex. I'm giving you one chance to get out of here little girl." He turned back and started stuffing money.
I put my hands on my hips. "Excuse me? You are telling me, to get out of here? You got a lot of nerve, mister." He stopped. He quickly turned and his head turned into the Triceratops exhibit at the Museum. I sidestepped out of the way. He ran his head right into the wall and got his horns stuck. "Wow." I said. "You're new to this, aren't you?" He ripped his head from the wall and it changed back to what it was. "Don't worry, I'm new too. But you are the perfect dummy to start off my carrier of kicking bad guy butt." He glared at me and dropped the money bags. Plates sprouted from his back, and a spiked tail spouted too, like a Stegosaurus. He swung his tail and hit me.
I was sent flying across the room. My body skipped across the floor and hit the building on the other side of the street. Ow.
I struggled to get up. I looked around and saw that the news stations were out and recording everything. I flew back in to keep from being seen clearly. Rex was walking out of the safe area with the money. He saw me coming and morphed his head again, except that this time it was a T-Rex head. He opened his mouth to eat me, but I held him at the lips of his mouth to keep him from getting any closer. We stood there for a minute, struggling with each other.
I sidestepped and let him fall forward. All the while saying, "Sorry, Barney. No lunch for you." He morphed his head back, and looked back at me. He growled, stood up, and willed two wings to come out of his back. They were, like, pterodactyl wings or something. He gripped the bags tightly and ran towards the exit.
"Oh, no you don't." I said, as I grabbed his ankle when he was taking off. I slammed him down to the pavement and stomped both feet down on his back. He cried out in pain and passed out. His wings folded into him and dissappeared. I looked around and noticed that policemen were getting over their surprise. I said, "Uh, I guess you can call this Species of Criminal Extinct! He's all yours!" I flew off to home. I am going to kill Joe for suggesting the witty banter. I am not that creative, or funny.
I have a different monster(s) to deal with when I get there.
