A drawing i did for Black History Month. Michael Morrison aka Xenoblade. A genius tinkerer who spends his time at a boarding school for inventors with his little sister and friends. But when danger looms he goes to save the day as Xenoblade, leader of the XenoForce. Armed with a futuristic blade, his digital headband, and his ability to break the 4th wall, he'll take down any evil that threatens Los Angeles. He is named after my uncle.

Michael and Micah Morrison a.k.a Xenoblade and Frosty. Xenoblade's main trademark is his digital headband which can let him imagine digital imagery constructs. His other trademark is the Monado which can cut through any material except for human skin. He can also see into the future and change the outcome as he sees fit. His young in age, but big in ambition little sister, Micah a.k.a Frosty can manipulate ice and snow. She loves her big brother and supports him and his dream to become the world's best inventor. The two of them lead a team of high tech superheroes known as The XenoForce. Their bond is so strong that nobody can break it!

Edmund Pierce fused with the Phazon Suit that Xenoblade wore earlier. As his name implies, he can leech off others skills or abilities and use them against his opponent. His power is fuled by his rage and hatred against XenoBlade. (This is an old drawing I did)

Xenoforce III Chapter 11

Chapter 11: Forgive Yourself (Disclaimer! You get the idea) There was a celebration for Janice’s Newspaper club. “Cheers to Edmund Pierce,” said Janice. Thanks to Edmund they finally broke the record. Edmund hung a photo and I was behind him. “Oh Michael, what’s up?” he asked. “Somebody’s happy,” I said. “Looks like you’ll be able to attend the science off after all,” said Edmund, “We found the real person behind all this.” He pointed to a picture of Xenoblade in the Black suit. “There’s your hero,” said Edmund, “Stealing tech and selling it to the space pirates.” There was also a video. “Damn, I didn’t think he’d actually stoop that low,” I said. “See, you ust assumed Xenoblade would never do something,” said Edmund, “It’s the modern age Michael, time to get with the times.” “You know its kinda funny hearing that,” I said, “Somebody showed me something similar to that photo and it looked….. familiar.” “Well, I should get to my suit,” said Edmund. “You’re trash Pierce,” I said to him. “I beg your pardon?” he asked. I showed him a flash drive with the real video footage of what happened during the heist. “Your videos a fake,” I said, “You were trying to frame Xenoblade.” “Where’d you get this?” he asked. “A little birdie showed it to me,” I said. He chuckled and tried to change the subject. “You’re a child Morrison,” said Edmund, “When the hell are you gonna give me a break?” I pushed him to the picture breaking the frame. “I’d be careful how far I push somebody if I was you,” I said, “You just might hurt yourself.” Some students came by. “What’s going on?” asked somebody. Edmund did a fake laugh and said, “We’re just horseplaying.” He then turned to me. “Michael please, I’m begging you,” said Edmund, “If you do this I’ll lose everything, and I’ll never be the popular student again.” “Should’ve thought of that before deciding to make a fool out of me and Xenoblade,” I said putting him down. “Michael what’s going on?” asked Professor Archibald. I gave him the flash drive with the video. 

Everybody looked at it including Janice. Later they were in the office. Another Captain Falcon video was playing. “So, you got sent to the office, you screwed up, and you know what you did was wrong, but you did it anyway,” she said, “Perhaps a chat with the principal will help you set yourself straight.” As she was going on, Professor Archibald was looking at the photo. “It’s a fake,” said Janice, “The LA Video department confirms it.” Archibald turned to Edmund. “So it was you selling away our inventions, trying to get poor Michael here in trouble,” he said, “Some nerve showing your face here after that.” “Janice..” said Edmund. Janice turned her back on him. “Pack your invention and don’t bother coming to the competition,” said Professor Archibald. “I was just trying…” said Edmund. “YOU’RE DISQUALIFIED!” he said. Professor Archibald left. Edmund turned to me. “You have officially pissed me off Morrison, and you’re gonna be in serious trouble,” he said, “I’m talking suspension, expulsion, and deportation!” He didn’t know but Principal Gibson was right behind him. “I’m gonna make your life a living hell before you graduate,” said Edmund, “And I don’t give a shit if Principal Gibson sees it.” “You don’t?” asked Principal Gibson. “No, I….” said Edmund as he turned around, “Oh…. Principal Gibson.” “Woops,” said Vivian. 

“What’s up Principal?” I asked. “Well I was looking for you to give you the final ingredient you need for your suit for the science off,” said Principal Gibson, “Good luck by the way.” “Thanks,” I said. “Also a student told me that Edmund said I was a weak spineless fool,” said Principal Gibson. “No, I said…… Sweet….. Stylish…. Cool!” said Edmund. “In my office,” said Principal Gibson. Edmund followed him. “Sure sucks when you get tattle-told on,” I said. “Looks like you’ll have to print a retraction now Janice,” said one of Janice’s club members. “I haven’t printed a retraction in 6 years,” said Janice. The charges were dropped. Later somebody called me on the phone. “Michael, its Professor Stephens,” he said. “OH hey,” I said, “What’s shaking?” He was looking at a piece of the black suit I still had. “This is quite the specimen you left me Michael,” he said, “Its like nothing I’ve seen before.” He was looking at a graph. “Talia can you get me some milk?” I asked. “Sure,” she said. “It has the ability to copy somebody’s skills and use them to its advantage,” said Professor Stephens, “It also amplifies the characteristics of its host, but more importantly aggression.” He kept looking at the graph. “You didn’t keep any did you Michael?” he asked. I wasn’t near the phone. “Do you have any with nuts?” I asked. “I can make some,” said Talia. “Michael?” asked Professor Stephens. “Oh no I didn’t,” I said.  Vivian and I were walking around campus. I had a new leather jacket and some black jeans. “Looking good Michael,” said Vivian. “Thanks, you too hotness,” I said. Vivian chuckled. I was dancing around and doing crazy flips. Meanwhile Vivian gave some photos to Janice of Black-suit Xenoblade. Vivian was getting some equipment for her upcoming gig but is stopped by Janice. But she only invited her for a drink. “I don’t know if you heard V, but I’m…. not the chief of the photography club anymore,” said Janice. “Oh man, what happened?” asked Vivian, “Did you quit?” “Well…. Actually some students said some things about me,” said Janice, “Why anybody would have anything to say about me other than peaches and cream is a mystery.” Vivian laughed but stopped. “No, I get it, I’ve made enemies,” said Janice, “Guess I was just too blind to see it.” “So why were you so dead set on reaking that record?” asked Vivian. “I didn’t really care that much about the record V,” said Janice, “I was really there to deliver breath taking stories about something I find interesting.” “Oh,” said Vivian. “That’s why I’m so tough on my members,” said Janice, “Cause I need their help to make those stories come to life.” Vivian knew she wanted to help. “Well… if it makes you feel any better,” said Vivian getting out her private diary, “Read this; its filled with inspirations for my music and my dream.” I smiled knowing that they were getting along. Ratchet was cleaning stuff from a table. “Hey Ratchet,” said Denise approaching him. “OH hey Denise,” said Ratchet, “How’s it going?” “Pretty good,” said Denise, “Soooooo what’s this I hear about you practicing how to dance?” “What…. .how….. Where’d you get that idea?” asked Ratchet. “Grim told me,” said Denise, “I’m his favorite customer.” “Why did he do it?” Ratchet asked himself. “So why did you do all that?” asked Denise. Ratchet sighed. “Its because I wanted to look cool for you at the dance,” said Ratchet, “I didn’t wanna embarrass you in front of everyone. And also…. I….. really like you.” Denise ruffled his hair and said, “I know.” Ratchet was surprised. “You do?” he asked. “You’re terrible at keeping secrets Ratch,” said Denise as she smiled at him. Ratched chuckled and said, “You’d be surprised.” “But do you really think I care whether you can dance or not?” Asked Denise. “You don’t?” he asked. “No, I care that you’re having a good time,” said Denise, “As long as you are, then I’m happy.” Ratchet smiled. “So….. I was wondering,” said Ratchet, “Do you think you….” “Yes,” said Denise, “I’d love to go to the dance with you.” She smiled and kissed his forehead. Later I was getting ready for Vivian’s performance at a Pub. Before I went there I did a bit of running around and doing errands. Denise tuned her instrument and was about to go on stage soon.  “You’re gonna kill it tonight babe,” I said in a flirtatious tone. “Thanks,” said Vivian, “Are you ok?” “Never been better,” I said. “Well, if something’s bothering you, you know you can talk to me right?” asked Vivian. “Yeah,” I said. I went to my seat. Edmund appeared. “What do you want?” Asked Vivian. “Do you think I’m freakin’ stupid?” he asked. “What are you talking about?” she asked. “I know it was you,” he said threateningly. He went up to the stage. “Before we begin tonight’s entertainment I’d like to share a few things…. Or should I say thoughts,” said Edmund pulling out a little book, “From Vivian’s Diary.” Vivian gasped. “In this box you’ll see thoughts and pictures of the person Vivian TRULY is,” said Edmund, “Then you’ll really decide if you want her to perform in this pub.” He looked back to Vivian ho had tears in her eyes. “I guess you weren’t meant for this after all,” he said. Vivian ran out the stage feeling humiliated. I wasn’t gonna tolerate what he did. (To the 4th wall) If that evil bastard thinks he’s getting away with that, he’s wrong. I ran up to the stage and delivered a super hard punch to his face. He landed on the floor and people were looking at him. “Time for you to learn your lesson,” I said, “You brought this shit on yourself!” I ran outside to find Vivian only to see Russell surrounded by 3 guys. “Let me say this slowly,” said the first thug, “Give me your money!” “I’m telling you, I don’t have any,” said Russel. “Don’t lie to us,” said the second thug, “Unless you prefer an ass beating.” “Hey!” I said getting their attention. They turned to me. “Michael no….” said Russell. The third thug pushed him down ready to attack. “FUCK MAN!” I said pushing him, “Fuck is your problem messing with an old man!” “What’s your problem?” he asked. “You’re my problem,” I said getting in his face. “Get this punk-ass outta here,” said the first thug. The second thug put his hand on me. “Let’s go,” he said. “Get your hand off of me,” I said pissed off. “Now!” he snapped. I pushed him to the wal and kicked him in the nuts. The third thug tried to hit me and I dodged and kicked him in the face. The second thug got up again and tried attacking but I grabbed his face and slammed it against a mirror and threw him down. “Don’t fuck with me,” I said. The first thug grabbed me but I quickly turned around and pushed him to the wall and was about to punch him. “Michael no!” said a voice. It was Vivian. “Don’t hurt me, just give me a chance!” said the first thug. “Well, did you give this guy a chance to explain himself, huh?” I asked. I pushed him to the brick all. “ANSWER ME!!!!” I shouted. I then looked at myself in the mirror. For the first time, I could see what I became. I slowly dropped him to the floor. “Get out,” I said. They all ran. Vivian looked at me. “Michael,” said Vivian. I ran off. “Michael wait!” she said, “Michael!!!” She then turned to Russell. “What?” he asked. “I don’t want you affiliated with that black man cause he doesn’t care about us people,” said Vivian. She then got in his face. “Look gramps, I love you but with all due respect I need you to shut up and listen to me!” she said, “Despite everything that happened Michael still risked his life to save yours.” He realized she was right. “Now think about the things you said, do you realize you were wrong to judge him based on looks?” asked Vivian. He nodded. “Good but don’t beat yourself up about it, acceptance is hard,” said Vivian. She went after me. I was in an abandoned building. (To the 4th wall) The professor was right. This suit….. its changed me. I knew I had to get rid of it. I tried pulling it off but it wouldn’t come off. “C’mon!” I said, “Get off of me!” I found myself in a dark area. “Think about what you’re doing,” said a voice. I was looking at a mirror version of me. “Remember what happened to the most important person in our lives?!” he asked. He showed me visions of my dad. “The world took him from us,” said my reflection, “And you wanted revenge.” I saw visions of Dad dying by the hands of Denise’s father. “There’s nobody in the world that can be trusted, except us,” said my reflection, “Take my hand and imagine all we can have, the villains we can destroy!” I realized he was right. But someone intervened. “Dad?” I asked. “He doesn’t need you anymore old man,” said my reflection. “That’s for him to decide,” he said, “You were given amazing talents, and I was too blind to see it, but now I see the kind of person you are, and you used those gifts.” “Well what good did it do?” asked my reflection, “That bastard Chrome till took you from us!” “From him, not from you,” said Dad, “And look what he did.” I saw a vision of me sparing Chrome. “And that was just the beginning,” said Dad. I saw every good thing that I did from back then to now.

“While that is all true, they never appreciated us,” said my reflection. “But his friends did,” said Dad, “They liked him just the way he was, and their friendship kept him going.” I saw my friends in my vision. “He’s right,” I said, “Dad never lost side of what was important to him, and neither will I!” “You can’t stop what you’ve become!” said my reflection. “Oh no?” I asked. I used an extra gauntlet and started fighting it. It was close to overcoming me, but I managed to hold my own and fight back. I finally broke free. “Dad, thank you,” I said. “Anytime son,” said Dad, “No matter what, I love you.” I kept struggling and dropped one of my gauntlets. It activated on its own and made a sound wave. I remembered that it effected my suit before. I struggled hard to finally rip if off of me. As it came off I trapped it in a ball using my digital headband. “There’s only one thing left to do with this,” I said. I took it to the lab. Edmund saw me. “The substance,” he said, “You finally found it!” I ignored him. “This is great,” he said, “With this I can still make money by letting people see it and….” He said, “Wait, what are you doing?!” “I’m freezing it,” I said. “You can’t it’ll destroy it!” said Edmund. I did the final part and it started to freeze. “NO!” he shouted. I flew away. “YOU’RE A FRAUD XENOBLADE!” he said. He placed his hand on the capsule and the substance reacted to it. “Wait…. You can understand me?” he asked. He tried opening it but nothing worked.  He then looked at his exo-skeleton. “Yes…..” he said. He put it on and then smashed the glass open. The substance crawled onto him transforming him.

Xenoforce III Chapter 9

Chapter 9: From Bad To Worse (Disclaimer! I own nothing of Xenoblade Chronicles) Ratchet was trying out some dance moves. He kept slipping. “Dang it,” he said, “I’ll never get this part right.” He kept trying but failed. Cara lynn opened the door. “Ok, what is going on here?” she asked. Ratchet sighed. “I’m trying to learn how to dance so I don’t mess up with Denise when I ask her to the dance,” said Ratchet, “I’ve watched dozens of videos, but it looks like I can’t dance for shit.” “Maybe I can help,” said Cara. “No thanks,” said Ratchet, “I don’t want you to see me make myself look like a fool.” “You’ve already convinced me that you act like a fool,” said Cara, “Now give me your hands and trust me alright?” “Ok,” said Ratchet giving in. “This should be interesting,” said Clank. Cara was teaching him the basic steps. “The most important part is to not step on her feet,” said Cara, “Then put your arm around the waist and hold her hand like this.” Before he knew it Ratchet was dancing. “Wow,” he said, “I’m actually dancing.” “Aww how sweet,” said Grim. “Grim?!” asked Ratchet and Cara in Unison. “Jinx,” said Ratchet. They quickly got away. “So I hear you’re planning to ask that girl to the dance,” said Grim. Ratchet sighed. “So now you know,” he said. “Ratchet, when I was your age, I was into this girl who was beautiful, and I tried everything to get her to notice me,” said Grim, “Nothing seemed to work, but I tried the next best thing.” “You tried again?” asked Ratchet. “I decided to be myself,” said Grim, “That’s the best way to win a girl’s affections. You don’t have to do big things to get a woman to notice you, just the right ones.” “Be myself,” said Ratchet, “Yeah, I think I can do that.” I was working on an invention for the science off. “Bryan’s gonna love this,” I said. I saw Crane walking by. “Hey Crane,” I said. “Want an apple?” he asked. “No thanks,” I said, “About the door and yesterday…. I’m sorry, it was nothing to be angry about.” “Oh its nothing to worry about,” said Crane, “I just hope you get through whatever is bothering you.” “Thank you,” I said, “I appreciate that.” I was asleep after a long day of school. I thought I heard something and woke up. “Its probably nothing,” I said going back to sleep. Somebody put their hand on my mouth and I instantly woke up. It was Vivian. “V,” I said, “How’d you get in here?” “Your window was open,” said Vivian as she sat down. “Are you ok?” I asked. “I feel like I haven’t been completely honest with you,” said Vivian. “About what?” I asked. “Well, I did tell you about my brother and such, but I didn’t tell you what happened with my grandfather,” said Vivian. I sat up. “The reason my grandfather is so stingy about black people is…. His first love before Grandma Casey was killed by a black woman,” said Vivian, “He was so shattered by what happened that he grew full of hatred inside for blacks.” “Oh man,” I said, “I had no idea.” “And ever since the whole situation with my brother, grandpa was trying to force this label business on all of us, and thinks I’m more suited for the schoolgirl look,” said Vivian, “Which is why you sometimes see me with a tie. But that’s also the uniform for my job at the coffee shop.” She held my hand. “My mom and dad moved away from Grandpa so they can give me and Lin all the freedom,” said Vivian, “But he’s always visiting just to make sure we stick to our labels. I try to get Dad to stand up for himself but he can’t.” “Wow,” I said. “Grandpa wants me to dress different, talk less about how I’m feeling, and have the kind of friends he wants me to have,” said Vivian, “My grandpa is so normal, maybe too normal.” She looked at a picture of her and her band when she was younger. “That’s why I keep the music thing a secret from him with help from Mom, Dad, and Lin,” she said, “They’re the only ones who believe in me.” “That’s pretty deep,” I said. “You’re the only one I’ve told this to,” said Vivian, “I was worried that you wouldn’t like me as I was, that you would want me to be somebody else.” “That’s bullshit,” I said, “I think you’re great just the way you are.” “Really?” asked Vivian. “Yes, and honestly what your grandfather thinks about you doesn’t even matter,” I said, “Don’t let him mold you into something or someone you aren’t.” Vivian smiled. “Just grow up and be the person you wanna be,” I said. “Well….. honestly,” said Vivian, “I kind of wanna be the girl who kisses you right now. Cheesy right?” “No, in fact you should be that girl,” I said, “After all we’re going out and…” “Oh my god,” said Vivian smiling, “Ok shut up.” She kissed me and we started making out. Somebody knocked on my door. “I wonder who that can be,” I said, “As if I didn’t already know.” I opened the door to see Johnny’s parents. “Hey its been a while,” I said. “It certainly has,” said Johnny’s mom, “How are you doing?” “Doing good,” I said, “What brings you by?” “Well… would you happen to be the creator of this suit?” asked Johnny’s dad. He showed me a picture. It was the suit that Battery had, but it had similar looks of my sound breaker armor. “Yeah it does,” I said, “Where’s Johnny?” “Well the thing is…” said Johnny’s mom. “Wait a minute…” I said, “No way!” “Johnny stole his tech?” asked Vivian. “Well not exactly,” said Johnny’s mom, “Those space pirates dropped a package and it landed at our house.” “That’s why we came,” said Johnny’s dad, “We figured you could use a bit of an explanation.” Later I was explaining everything to my friends. “He called everyone, he did everything he could, and nobody would help him unless he had the money,” said Vivian, “Some doctors told him the surgery was beyond their expertise.” “The nationwide hospital… that’s OUR nationwide hospital, told him he should accept the inevitable,” I said, “Can you believe that?!” “So Johnny is trying to come up with all that money to pay for surgery on his girlfriend’s father’s legs?” asked Anela. “Well not all of it, his parents contributed a bit,” I said, “But the point is, he’s not guilty of stealing my suit, not anymore.” “So what are we gonna do?” asked Lin. “My suit has a tracker,” I said, “Next time he does a Scavenger’s For Hire job, I can help him and hopefully convince him to give back the suit.” “While we’re at it, I’ve heard a juicy rumor,” said Samus, “It turns out that somebody at our school has been working with the Space Pirates and was responsible for the heist that happened.” “Who?” I asked. “We’re gonna have to find out,” said Samus. Edmund was watching us. He then called a number.

I was in the computer lab looking at security videos. I put in a specific date and noticed the space pirates appearing. “Looks like we might be getting close to our suspect,” I said. I kept looking through the footage. “Pause that!” said Samus. “What?” I asked. She pointed to somebody. “Who is that?” asked Anela. I zoomed in on the person. “Scan for face recognition,” I said. The computer scanned the person’s face. It was Edmund. “Edmund!” said Micah. I looked more at the video but it shut down on me. “What the hell?” I asked. Edmund, Vivian’s grandfather, and professor Archibald appeared. “What did you do?!” I asked. “A better question Michael, is what did YOU do?” asked Edmund, “A heist was pulled at our school and you covered it up.” “No YOU covered it up!” said Vivian, “And then you made it look like Michael planned the heist!” “Young lady!” said Russel, “Edmund pierce is this school’s top student, and you disrespect that by trying to frame him!” “I wasn’t framing anybody,” said Vivian, “We have proof that Edmund is responsible for what happened?” “So where is it?” asked Edmund, “Cause I don’t see anything.” “I’m surprised at you Michael,” said Professor Archibald, “You should be ashamed of yourself blaming Edmund!” “Well this is a fine mess you got this school into,” said Russell. “Nobody asked you anything old man!” I said. “Michael leave it,” said Vivian, “Don’t make this any worse than it needs to be.” “There’s only one course of action for a situation like this,” said Edmund, “Michael get disqualified from the Science off!” “Now wait just a minute!” said Lin. “Archibald, you disqualify that boy,” said Russell. “I’m sorry Michael, but until this is solved I have no choice.” I looked down to the ground. “I understand,” I said. Archibald and Russell left. “And one more thing,” said Edmund. He took his slushie and threw it at my face. It had rock salt in it and damaged part of my face. I screamed in pain. “That’s what your ass gets for destroying my laptop!” said Edmund. Anela went to comfort me and gave me some ice. “This place is full of freaks,” said Edmund walking around me, “We’ve got a pink haired rebellious brat who does lousy outburst on an electric twanger, a comic book geek who dreams of flying, a big guy with so much strength but gets pushed around constantly, a gloomy long haired four-eyed freak with a fetish for paint, a speed junkie, a girl who loves treats and then there’s you.” He looked at me. “A tinkerer who wants to ‘help’ the world with his latest inventions,” said Edmund, “You’re just a group of low lives with no goal or determination whatsoever.” He glared at me with a grin. “I on the other hand have goals that I always achieve, but you can’t even put your plan to motion,” said Edmund, “’Let’s show the world what good our creations can do’ right?” He slammed his hand on the floor. “Ever since you showed up, a form of hatred for you has been brewing and spread to ever inch of my body!” said Edmund, “You stole my status as popular student, and you have the gall to say I’m the snooty one who cares about nobody but myself?! Some fucking resolve there you brat.” “That’s enough Edmund!” said Anela. Edmund smacked her and she fell to the floor. “The next time you wanna make your mark on the world, try doing it WITHOUT stealing MY status as this school’s best student! Something to keep in mind,” said Edmund, “That being said, have a good day.” That was unforgivable. Laughing at me, calling me names, and trash talking my friends. And after all of that I couldn’t muster up any courage to say anything. I finally had enough of Edmund. I ran up to Edmund and then punched him in the face. “You piece of shit!” I said, “I’ll frickin kill you!!!” I started punching him until my friends pulled me off him. “Get the hell off of me!” he said. They pulled me out the room. “FUCK YOU!” I shouted, “FUCK YOU EDMUND, FUCK YOU!!” I struggled to get away but I couldn’t. “You piece of shit!!” I said as I spat out blood, “Fuck you!!!” Vivian grabbed one of my gauntlets I dropped. “Well that about settles…” said Edmund before he turned around. Vivian punched him hard in the face. Back at Vivian’s house Lin was crying on Talia’s lap. “I can’t believe he would go and do something like that,” said Lin. “I know sweetie, I’m upset with Grandpa too.” Russell came in. “Lin, go upstairs and clean your room,” he said, “It’s a mess.” “Why did you do that?” asked Lin, “Why did you go and get Michael disqualified from the science off.” “You don’t know what’s going on Lin,” said Russell. “Like hell I don’t!” said Lin, “I know you don’t like Michael because of his racial background but it isn’t right! That’s how people use to treat me!” “Lin..” said Russell. “Its not fair what you do to people!” said Lin, “And you don’t know shit about Michael like I do! He’s nice to me!” Russell smacked her face. “Don’t you EVER raise your voice to me like that again, do you hear me?” he asked, “Now go clean your room!” Lin ran up to her room in tears. “She’s right and you know it Russell,” said Talia. “That boy made a deal with the devil,” said Russell. Vivian came in with her hand bleeding a bit. “Vivian what happened?” asked Talia. “Edmund was bulying my boyfriend so I decided to teach him a lesson,” said Vivian, “Nothing stops that bastard from bullying except pushing back.” “Well good for you,” said Talia. “No that’s NOT good,” said Russell, “You had no right to go and do that young lady.” “That’s right,” said Janice. “I am not in the mood for your bullshit Janice, so shut the fuck up!” said Vivian. “V, please,” said Talia, “She’s still your cousin.” “I don’t give a shit,” said Vivian. “Girl you watch your mouth!” said Russel wagging his finger at him. “Get your hand outta my face,” said Vivian, “Mom are the cookies ready?” “Of course darling,” said Talia as she handed them to her. “Wait V,” said Hank, “Before you go, I have something for you.” He brought own a case. “What is it?” asked Vivian. “You should open it and find out,” he said smiling. Vivian started to open it. It was a guitar. A Fender Jaguar. “Wait… is this?” asked Vivian. “Why would you give her that?” asked Russell. “Because it’s a present from her brother,” said Hank. “It doesn’t matter, we had that issue all those years ago and you give her that?” asked Russell. “Yes,” said Hank. “It’s the guitar my brother used,” said Vivian. “That’s right,” said Hank, “He must think you’re ready to use it.” “I can’t believe this,” said Russell. “Leave it alone Dad,” said Hank. “Maybe I can use this on Garage band,” said Vivian as she brought out her tablet. “And there’s a computer with it too?!?!” asked Russell. “What?” asked Vivian. “What’s that?” asked Russell. “It’s the guitar, and it’s the Tablet I got,” said Vivian, “Now let it be!” “Now I can’t let it be, its ridiculous!” said Russell. He snatched the guitar from Vivian. “What the hell are you doing Gramps?” asked Vivian. Janice was laughing. Russell slammed the guitar on the ground. “Grandpa!” said Vivian, “I just got that! Gramps!” He then took it outside and slammed it at the tree effectively destroying it. “Oh my God!” said Hank. “I’m not having another rocker!” said Russell. “You are an IDIOT!” said Hank, “Why the hell would you do that?!” “Have you forgotten what Zachary did to our family, the pain we endured after that loan?!” asked Russell, “You of all people should know that!” He turned to Vivian. “And you,” he said, “When are you gonna get serious about your label?” “You’re not the boss of me,” said Vivian. “AS LONG AS YOU LIVE IN THIS FAMILY I AM!” shouted Russell, "I will not sit here and be disrespected by my own grandchildren! No mo music, PERIOD!"“That’s what you get for smacking a bottle over my head bitch,” said Janice. Vivian smacked her in the face. “Speak when you’re spoken to bitch, or otherwise shut up,” said Vivian. “YOUNG LADY!” he shouted, “You apologize to her right now!” "Stop it Russel!" snapped Talia. "Or what?!" asked Russel rudely,"SHUT UP!" He smacked her. Vivian pushed him. "Fuck is your problem?!" she shouted, "You don't touch my mother like that!" 

"You're just like your brother," said Russel, "You two think you can just go around getting whatever you want and forsaking your family for your selfish desires. And the worst thing about you two, you always think you’re right and we’re wrong well it ends here and it ends NOW!!!!" He turned to Hank. You are going to go up to Vivian’s room and get rid of all of her music stuff, and you are going to tell her to break up with that African American bastard,” he said, A”nd you’re going to do it right now.” He turned around. “No I’m not,” said Hank. Russel turned back around to him. “What did you say?” he asked. “I said..... No..... I’m.... Not!” said Hank. “I am your father and I am ORDERING YOU TO......” Hank finally had enough and punched Russel in the face. “Look here shut up you fat FUCK!” he snapped. Everybody was surprised. “Henry Dinzel!” said Russel. “Oh don't you 'Henry Dinzel' me!" he said You’ve been terrible to Vivian ever since this whole incident with the loan." “That’s because Zach stole it from us and ran off!” said Hank. “He didn’t steal the loan,” said Hank, “I gave it to him.” “Why the hell would you do that?!” asked Russell, “You know we needed that money!” “Cause I wanted my son to be successful in his career, but that isn’t the point” said Hank, “You’ve done some messed up things Dad, but what you did to Michael was unforgivable!” “Oh is it, well what about Vivian?” asked Russell, “She put a bottle over her cousin’s head, and then she punched the lights out of another student.” “Well that was all self defense,” said Hank. “No it wasn’t,” said Russell, “It was 2 against one!” “To you only,” said Hank, “I’m Vivian’s father and I say she doesn’t deserve to be punished. “Listen Hank, as your father its my responsibility to speak to Vivian for you and punish her,” said Russell, “Especially when she steps out of line!” “Well I’m speaking for myself now,” said Hank, “And I say this family has no need for your labels.” “What?” asked Russell. “I love my family exactly as they are, as they love me as I am,” said Hank. Vivian was surprised as this was the first time seeing her father stand up for himself. “There will be no labels on my family,” said Hank, “Not now, not ever!” Russell was surprised. “Now get out!” said Hank. “Are you serious?” asked Janice. “Yeah I’m serious, you go too,” said Hank. “You’re not kicking your own father out!” said Russell. Later he was thrown out same with Talia. “Sorry honey,” said Hank as he brought her back. He then threw Janice out. “And stay out!” said Hank as he slammed the door. He turned to Vivian. “By the way that wasn’t the guitar that Zach sent to you,” said Hank. He gave her the real one. “The Fender Jaguar with the gold Vibrato Bar,” said Hank. “Then the one Grandpa smashed….” Said Vivian. “That was the piece of crap knock off that I got from Brooklyn,” said Hank. “Dad, be honest with me,” said Vivian, “When I said I wanted to follow my brother’s footsteps, were you angry with me?” “Angry?” asked Hank, “I love you Vivian, and I was never more proud.” Vivian smiled. “You are amazing just the way you are,” said Hank, “And don’t you ever let someone tell you any different. Now go check on your boyfriend.” “Yes sir,” said Vivian, “And thanks for the cookies Mom.” “You’re welcome,” said Talia. She also had something else in her hand.

Xenoforce III Chapter 8

Chapter 8: Payback (Disclaimer. I own nothing of Xenoblade Chronicles) The next day I was walking with Vivian to her Light Music Club. “And that’s why I can’t stand my grandfather,” said Vivian, “I love him, but he seriously needs to get with the times.” “I feel you,” I said, “But let’s not worry about that, let’s worry about your big day at the Light Music Club.” “Yeah,” said Vivian smiling. As we opened the doors we noticed something. Not much people were even there. “What’s going on?” I asked, “Somebody caught the flu?” Jade explained everything to us. “WHAT?!” asked Vivian. “Like she said,” said Jake, “All the newer members just up and quit.” “Why the hell would they do that?” I asked, “2 weeks ago they were super excited!” Jake explained the situation to us. Some students told them that being in a Light Music Club would effect their chances of getting a real career in life. Others said their parents wouldn’t allow it no matter what they said. And then they all left. “It can’t be,” said Vivian. “But the good news is, we still have plenty of members to be considered a club,” said Jade. 

“What I wanna know is how did the parents even discover about this Light Music Club?” I asked. “We handed out applications and everything and the parents seemed like it would be ok,” said Vivian, “At least the students here.” “So why change their minds about it?” I asked. “They didn’t,” said Sheldon, “We even had some students outside of our school who wanted to join us.” Jade took a sip of Mountain Dew. “Well, I did notice this voicemail device,” said Jade, “Apparently somebody snitched on them and made it look like they did it behind their backs!” I turned it on and we listened to it. “This is a anonymous message from a student of Gifted Inventor’s Boarding School. You’re probably wondering why (Insert Club Member’s name here) Has been acting strange and talking about music related things around the house. Well, the thing is, your son and/or daughter has signed up to be a part of a Light Music Club. This club is actually said to be a distraction to the board of education, and will effect your children’s chances of getting a real job or being able to attend a university. It will also cause them to be ostracized by classmates and such. Plus its ran by a teenage brat who does outburst of emotion on some electric twanger, who plans to teach young scholars to disrespect you and other adults in school. I urge each and every one of you parents to join me and combat that negative influence and protect your kids from that rebellious rock n roller. Thank you.” I punched a wall and broke a hole. “Careful with that!” said Jade. “Who in their right mind would go and do such a thing like this!” I said, “Things like that just piss me off!” I decided to head out. Jake was about to come after me but Vivian held him back. “Leave it,” said Vivian, “He needs to let it out.” I went to my dorm to get some things for the lab. “Rent,” said my dorm landlord, Crane. “Not now,” I said. “Look, it’s a free country amigo, but its not a rent free one,” he said. “Leave me alone,” I said in a bad mood. “Give me the rent,” he said pestering me. “You’ll get your rent when you FIX THIS DAMN DOOR!!!!” I shouted. I went inside and slammed the door. “That wasn’t cool,” said Maddi. “He….. is a good boy,” said Crane, “He must be in some sort of trouble.” I spent the next few minutes staring at the window looking for clues to who did what they did. Someone knocked on the door. “Michael its Vivian,” she said. I opened the door. “Are you ok?” she asked. “Yeah I’m fine,” I said. “I can tell when you’re lying,” said Vivian. I sighed. “I’m just really pissed off ,” I said, “You finally got your dream, and now it looks like somebody plans to sabotage it.” “Well they didn’t completely sabotage it,” said Vivian, “We still have more than the minimum amount from the photography club.” “True,” I said. “Michael, if there’s something bothering you, I need you to talk to me OK,” said Vivian, “I’m here for you. All of us are.” “Listen Vivian, I’ll help you get to the bottom of this,” I said, “Whatever people are left we can get them to come.” She bent down and gave me a hug. “Thank you,” she said. “Don’t mention it,” I said as I returned the hug. My stomach rumbled. “Let’s get to the cafeteria and feed that hungry brain of yours,” she said. (To the 4th wall) I can already tell that something fishy is going on here, and I’m gonna find out what it is. “Oh hello Michael, Vivian,” said someone. It was Edmund. “I heard a few of your Light Music Club members left you.” “How’d you hear about that Edmund?” I asked. “Hold on a sec, did you tattle-tale on them?” asked Vivian. “Maybe I did, maybe I didn’t,” he said.  He went back to reading his book then turned around. “I did,” he said, “Somebody has to right the wrongs.” “There were no wrongs made,” said Vivian, “I was just getting some members into the club.” “Wrong Vivian,” he said turning to her, “You poached your cousin’s club members.” “I had no choice,” said Vivian, “Plus those members were miserable with her.” “You were still wrong to do what you did,” said Edmund, “And while we’re at it, I also tattled on you for smashing that bottle over Janice’s head as well.” “You what?” asked Vivian. “See, you’re acting like a bad influence,” said Edmund, “Its no wonder the Light Music Club member left you.” I got in the way. “Look bub,” I said, “You best watch how you’re talking to my girlfriend.” “And you best stay out of situations that you don’t belong in,” said Edmund, “Just because she’s your girlfriend doesn’t mean you get to butt in. I am an idol at this school and I will not be disrespected by some tinkerer.” “All you rich kids are all the same,” I said, “You get so consumed by your money that you think you’re automatically better than everyone else.” “If you have a complaint, then write it on paper,” said Edmund ignoring me, “Otherwise do not get in my face about it, and shut your yap.” I pushed him. “Listen you Pompous…” I said just about to kick his teeth in. “HEY!” shouted a student, “What’s going on here?” “I was enjoying a nice lunch, and then Tinker Bell here starts shouting at me and making false acusations,” said Edmund. The student turned to me. “Well this guy was….” I said. “I don’t wanna hear it,” he said, “Edmund is a great student here, and you need to learn a little something called respect! Do I make myself clear?” “Yes,” I said with my head down.  “Good,” he said, “Now don’t let me catch you talking trash about Edmund again!” He walked away. “Hey cut him some slack,” said Denise, “He’s just a kid.” “I don’t care,” said the student, “He better watch his back.” I was really pissed off. “I gotta punch something,” I said. Anela hand me a backpack. “There’s nothing important in that is there?” I asked. “No,” said Anela, “Whale away!” Using an extra gauntlet, I punched it hard.” Afterwards I went to help her. “I didn’t hurt you did I?” I asked. “Of course not,” said Anela, “Though I might need a new bag.” “Who the hell does that guy think he is going off on me, when Edmund’s the guy acting like a bully?” I said, “He’s a snooty rich jerk-ass and if I wanna trash talk him then that’s what I’m gonna do!” I punched a locker so hard that I broke it. I was so angry inside, but I felt arms wrapped around me. It was Vivian. I started to calm down and hug back. “Its ok Michael,” she said. “I’m sorry you had to see me like that,” I said, “I just can’t stand snooty rich kids who think they can just get away with what they do to innocent people.” “I feel your pain Michael,” said Anela, “He definitely gives off a bad vibe.” “I think its this suit,” I said, “Its putting me over the edge. I think its time I gave it a break.” I took of the black suit and put it in my treasure chest. Later, Vivian and I were walking around campus. “I still can’t believe we lost so many club members,” said Vivian, “And things were just starting to go smooth.” “Well V, nothing heals a broken spirit like payback,” I said with a grin. Later, I turned on the camera. “Is it on?” asked Micah. “Its on,” I said, “You ready Vivian?” “I’m ready, are you ready?” she asked. “You bet I am,” I said, “Operation Red Bull is happening.” Vivian was in the back of my car while Jake was setting the stage for the best prank ever.  Micah pointed the camera to my car that had some hooves on it. “A few days ago, Edmund Pierce tattled on a lot of Vivian’s Light Music Club members and made them leave, so its time for a little revenge,” I said as I pulled the camera down, “I managed to get Edmund’s laptop, and its tied to a rope and it’s a surprise. He’s gonna realize we planned this whole thing.” Micah went to go get him. He was busy working on some work “You might wanna come outside for this,” she said. “Why are you filming me?” he asked. “It’s a surprise,” said Micah, “A reaction video.” He came outside and saw me and Vivian talking. “Don’t come any further we’re just having a friendly chat,” I said. Vivian pointed to his laptop. “Is that my freakin’ laptop?!” he asked. “Hey, don’t take another step or I’m gonna run over it,” I said. “Don’t you DARE do it!” he shouted. “No I will, I got my foot near the gas pedal right now!” I said. “DO NOT DARE DO IT!” he said. “Hey remember what you did?” asked Vivian, “Remember that?” “Remember what?” asked Edmund. “You know damn well what,” I said, “Remember you tattling on our club members?” “Hey, you poached them in the first place!” said Edmund, “I’m just righting the wrongs.” “No wrongs were made you dumbass!” said Vivian, “The point is you did us wrong, now you get to pay the price!” “This is just to teach you a lesson not to mess with us,” I said, “And don’t you dare move, you’re gonna watch every second of this shit!” “Are you nuts?” asked Edmund. “Oh, and one more thing, this morning,” I said, “I told you that was MY parking spot, and you just jump in front of me and take my goddamn parking spot!” “Are you nuts, Give me back my laptop!” he said. “Ok, you want your laptop, then I’ll give it to you,” I said. “You little brat, Give me back my laptop NOW!” he said. “Ok,” I said as I grinned. I stepped on the gas pedal and ran over it breaking it. “There,” I said, “Its all yours you jackass.” (To the 4th wall)Pause! Apple Laptop; $475, Mercury Tracer, $500. The look on Edmund's face when we smash his precious laptop; Priceless. In 3, 2, 1. "His jaw dropped and his eyes were red, revealing how pissed he was."   “ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME?!” he shouted. Micah Vivian and I bursted out laughing. Edmund was pissed and threw a coffee mug at a wall and ran back to his dorm. “Run you big bitch!” said Micah. “Hope you learned your lesson!” I said, “You screw with us, and it comes right back to you!” I started to drive away and Micah and Jake joined me. “Woo!” said Micah, “Get us some crowns cause we are the kings and queens of pranks!” Vivian turned up the radio. “Did you see the look on his face?” asked Vivian, “Price…” “Less,” I said.

Xenoforce III Chapter 7

Chapter 7: Phazite (Disclaimer!) I took a piece of the suit off and showed it to Professor Stephens. “What do you think it is?” I asked. “It’s a strange specimen,” he said, “I’m not really one for biology, but I can run some tests and then give you some results.” The substance started to crawl to me but he trapped it. “If I were you I wouldn’t let any of it get on you,” he said. “Why not?” I asked. “It has the characteristics of a Phazite which needs to bind to a host to survive,” said Professor Stephens, “When these things bind, they’re hard to unbind.” I headed home to get some things and saw Mom. “Micah said that you were having trouble sleeping last night,” she said, “Is everything ok?” She always knew I needed to talk about something. Later I was sitting down telling her about the dream. “I had a dream that Chrome Richardson, the guy responsible for Dad’s death, he was murdered,” I said, “And Xenoblade killed him.” “Xenoblade?” she asked, “But why? Xenoblade never kills people.” “Well…. I felt guilty about not being there for Dad,” I said, “And I just couldn’t let him get away with it… but in reality I chose to spare him.” “And you made the right decision,” she said. “But if he did die, he would’ve deserved it right?” I asked. “Michael its not for us to say whether or not someone deserves to live,” said Mom. “But he killed Dad,” I said. “Your father meant the world to all of us, but he wouldn’t want us lasting even one second with vengeance in our hearts,” she said, “It’s a poison that can take over your body, and then turn you into something ugly.” “Ok,” I said, “Thanks for talking with me.” She gave me a hug. “I love you Michael,” she said. “I love you too Mom,” I said. I headed back to campus and then heard something. “A man in a white suit is combating the space pirates. “Battery,” I said. I decided to take out my old suit but realized something. I opened a treasure chest and got out the black suit and decided to spring into action. I noticed space pirates heading into a lab. Battery saw me. “Xenoblade,” he said. “Battery,” I said, “Looks like we’re after the same guy.” “Guess so,” he said. He opened a secret entrance. Janice saw me. “Whoa,” she said, “Xenoblade, I love the new outfit.” I noticed her. “This is exactly what I need to break that record,” she said, “Give me some of that digital action.” I imagined a hand and swatted the camera from her hands. “See ya bitch,” I said. I jumped down and followed Battery. “WHAT THE FUCK!” she said. She took out another camera and started taking photos. Battery and I were looking around for the pirates. I heard some sounds and threw a fusion grenade. The pirates saw us. “Is that Xenoblade?” asked one of them. “Do you want to activate instant kill mode?” asked Casey. “What, no,” said Battery, “What else is there?” “This suit is programmed with 100 battle combinations,” said Casey, “Should I list them?” “Just find one that works for this fight,” said Battery. His gauntlets started to glow. He punched one of the pirates and he was stuned. “Whoa!” he said, “That really works. One of the pirates had a piece od debris and threw it at me. I managed to grab it and throw it back. I then jumped at one of the others and attacked them. “Where did suit come from?” I asked myself. I was faster and stronger than I was with my old suit. “Who cares where its from?” I asked, “I love it!” One of the pirates tried attacking and I punched him in the face hard. Another one hit me with some kind of sound barrier attack. The suit started to melt, but part of it made some kind of whip and smashed the weapon. “The hell?” I asked. Battery saw somebody in the skirmish and recognized him. He went to go save him but more space pirates got in the way. He took them down with his energy stick. He then opened the door. “Give me your hand!” he said. The man screamed for help. “Joseph!” he said, “Look at me.” He looked at him. Battery brought him to safety. “I’m good,” he said, “Go.” He went back to help me. After a long fight, the space pirates were arrested by authorities. “I needed that workout,” I said. The next morning I was heading to campus. Anela saw me. “Michael there you are,” she said, “Where the hell have you been?” “I just went back to my place to pick up some stuff,” I said. “Oh please,” said Anela, “I saw the news, so I know you did much more than pick up some stuff.” “Ok, I ran into Battery and gave him a hand in stopping a raid from the Space Pirates,” I said. “You could’ve just told me,” said Anela, “But was a change in costume really necessary?” “Well, for some reason, it just made me stronger,” I said, “But let’s not worry about that.” “I suppose you’re right,” said Anela, “But next time, give us a holler if something like this happens.” “Sure,” I said as I grinned. I saw Vivian. “Hey Michael,” said Vivian, “What’s with the change of color?” “What?” I asked. “I’ve never seen you in black before,” said Vivian, “Its pretty hot.” “Thanks,” I said.

Vivian went to a soda machine and got herself a blue voltage mountain dew, but somebody took it. It was Janice. “Thanks,” she said, “My fave.” “Uh can I have that back?” she asked. “Yeah, as soon as you apologize for what you did to me,” said Janice. A few of her friends surrounded her. “Janice told us you stole some of her club members, so we have to teach you a lesson,” said Barry, her big gun. Edmund joined in. “This is what you get,” he said. They were hassling her, and I wasn’t gonna stand for it. Bryan intervened. “Hey, why do you have to pick on Vivian for?” asked Bryan, “Listen why don’t we….” Barry pushed him. “Don’t touch us punk,” he said, “Why don’t you mind your own business.” “HEY!” I said. They all turned to me. “You morons do realize that’s my girlfriend you’re messing with,” I said. “Hey, we have some things to say to this bitch,” said Barry, “So go back to your lab and mind your own business.” “Not this time asshat,” I said. “Now listen…” said Barry, “What’d you say?” “I think it had something to do with you wearing an ass for a hat,” I said. “Well this is a twist,” said Janice, “Looks like Tinker Bell’s developed a bit of a backbone.” “Oh I’ve developed more than a backbone,” I said. I took a drink and then spat in her face. Her goons got a hold of me and she punched me in the face. “We can do this all day,” I said. Vivian knew she had to do something. She saw a bottle and grabbed it. “Get the hell away from him!” she said. She smacked it over Janice’s head. “Hey!” said Barry, “Nobody does that to our boss.” “Back off!” said Anela. She had her bat ready. “What the hell’s wrong with you?” asked Anela, “Picking on a nice innocent girl?” “What the hell you gonna do cupcake?” asked Barry. Anela grinned and hit him. “What you gonna do, that’s what I wanna know!” said Anela pounding him, “You gonna talk to me like that huh?!” She then whacked him so hard that he landed on a flagpole. “Goddamn!” I said. I went over to him. (To the 4th wall) He got knocked the fugg out!” Anela turned to the others. “You want some too?!” she asked. “No!” they said in unison. Vivian helped me up. “Thanks V,” I said. “Don’t mention it,” said Vivian, “Thanks for sticking up for me.” “And thank you too Anela,” I said. “Anybody messes with my friends messes with me as well,” said Anela, “And V, I saw your performance. Great job!” “Thanks,” said Vivian, “Its all thanks to Michael here.” I blushed. “I’m nobody special,” I said, “Just doing my job.” Later Vivian was working on upgrading her smoke gauntlets in the basement. “Vivian get up here!” said Russell. “Oh great,” she said. She came down. “Have you been bullying people at school?” he asked. “No,” said Vivian. “Well why did Janice come over to our house then?” asked Russell. Janice had some bandages on her head. “Janice tells me you attacked her and her friends at lunch today,” said Russel. “That’s not true at all!” said Vivian. “I beg to differ,” said Barry. “Smacking a bottle over somebody’s head?! Now I know I’ve raised you better than that Vivian!” said Russell, “What you did was not only stubborn, but COMPLETELY inexcusable!” “But gramps…” said Vivian. “Get in your room RIGHT NOW!” he shouted. He slammed the door. “LOOK AT ME!” he said, “Just tell me why you did it.” “Because she was bullying my friends,” said Vivian, “And I had to stop it.” “That’s not acceptable!” said Russell, “And more importantly, its not part of your label!” “Again with the labels?” she asked. “Yes,” said Russell, “This family needs labels so people will accept us in the world. You’re a high school student.” He showed her the label he made for her. “Nowhere does it say for you to get into fights and get involved!” said Russell, “You stand there and do nothing.” “I don’t feel like a high school girl,” said Vivian, “I seem more like a motivator or something.” “Hush Vivian,” said Russell, “Life’s not about what you feel on the inside, its about acting and dressing up the outside so everybody knows who you are by looks and attitude alone!” Janice came in. “Now you apologize to your cousin,” said Russell. “But she….” Said Vivian. “NOW young lady,” he said. “I’m sorry I smacked a bottle over your head,” said Vivian. “Good,” said Russell, “You’re lucky you didn’t cause serious damage, but I’m warning you now; Anymore funny business, any at all, and you will regret it.” He and Janice left. Vivian decided to head back to school to see me. “Where are you going?” he asked. “To see Michael,” said Vivian, “He’s helping me with an invention.” “That African American boy?!” asked Russell, “Its bad enough that I have to deal with them every day, not one of them is near my granddaughter!” “Who are you to judge my boyfriend because of his color?!” snapped Vivian, “He’s not like Zachary.” Russell smacked her. “Don’t you DARE mention that name in this house!” he said, “Its thanks to that bastard that we’re in this state!” “I can’t deal with this anymore,” said Vivian, “I’m going out.” Russell stopped her. “I forbid you to see that boy!” he said. “YOU CAN’T KEEP US APART!” she yelled. She ran out the house. “Dad, how could you be so cruel?!” asked Hank. “You want your grandkids being half mixed?!” asked Russell. “Who are you to judge Vivian’s boyfriend based on color?” asked Talia, “I think he’s a nice boy.” "I think he's a good match for Vivian and he shows that he cares about her," said Hank. "My god Henry, you're too lenient with your kids," said Russel, "That's probably why Zack ran out on us." "Excuse me?" asked Talia, "If anyone drove him away it was YOU, with your insane obsession with these labels!" “I’m going out,” said Russell as he left. “Man, what’s up his ass?” asked Lin. “It’s a long story Lin,” said Hank, “Let’s just say grandpa has a lot up his ass.”

Xenoforce III Chapter 6

Chapter 6: Attack of the pirates. (Disclaimer!)

Anela and I were starting a new episode of our Pokken tournament LP. “Is this thing on?” I asked. “Yep its on,” said Anela, “Hey guys, Gadgetgirl09 here and welcome back to another episode of….” “Hold on,” I said, “Before we begin, I have a little ditty to sing.”

Tiny Mike Adventures Michael: We’re tiny, we’re skill-sy, We’re all a little silly Bryan: Oh boy Michael: And in this playhrough-y we’re invading your YT We’re comedy dispenser, who crack up all the sensors, on Tiny Mike adventures we’re a group of oddities EJ: Who eat pie! Michael: Anyway….. so here’s Pokken tournament a great game full of fun Where two guys kick each other’s asses til their health is none! Anela: This song’s non-existint and somewhat inconsistent Michael and Anela: On Tiny Mike Adventures its about to start! Michael: Some guys say that I won’t last, but I think I’ll be fine Since I’ve been playing Pokemon games since 2009 Bryan’s grumpy, he’s moody, and just a little moody Bryan: Wow! Michael: On Tiny Mike Adventures come and join the fun! Bryan: Well screw you too! Anela: And now his puns are done.

Anela and I high fived each other. (To the 4th wall) This is a tribute homage to my favorite YouTuber MasaeAnela. “Anyways in the last episode, we got our hands dirty with a ton of tutorials,” said Anela, “And in this episode we are gonna start off our first fight with Lucario.” “I’ve been training night and day for this moment,” I said. I was going as Pikachu. “Let’s do this,” I said. The match begun and I was fighting my hardest. The stage phased and I started to unleash special attacks. “The gage is almost full!” said Anela, “Keep goin’!” After a few more punches I won the round. “YES!” I said in victory. “Excellent strategy,” said Bryan. “And cut!” said Anela, “We’ve gotta use that as our intro.” “Most def,” I said, “Time to feed my brain.”

I met Vivian at the Cafeteria and she was with her bandmates. On TV I saw Captain Falcon again. “Fruits, Veggies, and Meat are 3 good things for a healthy diet for a student or a soldier out on the field,” she said, “Eat Healthy and Live Long.” “Whoever got the captain to do these videos should get a raise,” said Jade, “That was one hell of a surprise.” “Speaking of surprises,” said Vivian as she pulled out a case, “Check this out!” She opened the case and it revealed a guitar. “Is that…..” asked Jake. “That’s right,” said Vivian, “The Gibson SG used by Pete Townshend himself!” “From that band, The Who?” I asked. “Looks like you’ve been listening to my albums I let you download,” said Vivian. She plugged into a pignose and started shredding. A lot of kids from the Light Music Club started to come and watch her.

Janice caught up with them. “Guys,” she said. The students turned away from her. “Guys, we’re one newspaper away from breaking that record,” said Janice, “But I can’t do it without you.” “Well, the LMC does have an upcoming performance to play,” said Leslie, “And it wouldn’t be right to leave Vivian before the performance.” “THAT’S WHAT YOU DID TO ME!!!!” she snapped. “Yeah, but you overworked us and never appreciated us,” said another student. “Why don’t you just back off lady,” said Micah. “Nobody was talking to you,” said Janice. Anela intervened. “Listen, if they don’t wanna come back to your club then you should respect that,” she said. “Doll, you best stay out of this,” said Janice. “You don’t know me,” said Anela, “Now get the hell up and go on.” “I see nobody told you I run this school,” said Janice, “I’m Janice Cowan, and what Janice wants, Janice GETS. Got that?”

Anela had her bat out. “I see nobody told you that I’m Anela, An to the goddamn E L A, you got that?!” said Anela, “And what I want, I get, you understand me?” “Uh oh,” said Lin. “You don’t know who the hell you’re talking to like that,” said Anela, “I will come to the other side of this table and beat you so hard you’ll bleed from your hair.” “You want a piece of me?” asked Janice. “No I want the whole thing!” said Anela. A teacher came and stopped the fight. “We’ll have our time,” said Janice. Ratchet and Denise were looking at a flyer for the upcoming dance. “Man this dance is gonna be off the hook,” said Denise. “Yeah,” said Ratchet. “What’s wrong?” asked Denise, “You don’t seem happy.” “Oh no, I’m excited I just…” said Ratchet getting nervous, “I don’t know how to explain it.” Denise smiled and ruffled his hair. “Well whenever you’re ready to talk about it, I’m here ok,” she said. Johnny was doing some training with the Sound Breaker Suit. “Training exercise 101 complete,” said the voice. “Thanks suit lady,” said Johnny, “Y’know I kinda feel bad about calling you Suit Lady, I should probably give you a name.” “Ok,” said the voice. “Lola…. Nah that’s my girlfriend’s name,” said Johnny, “How about….. Casey.” “Casey it is,” said Casey. Johnny checked his laptop. “Well look at this,” he said, “This seems like the perfect job.” Johnny was training with his staff. Micah and I were walking to the annual XenoForce Parade. “Its not every day you get a parade celebrating you,” I said. Vivian was getting ready with her band to perform some music for the festival. I was helping set up equipment and everything. “Thanks again for helping us Michael,” said Vivian. “Don’t sweat it,” I said. She kissed my forehead.

As soon as I left I went to turn into my costume. Meanwhile Dargan was driving near our location as he saw some technology he needed. “This is the spot,” he said, “Now we get the goods and deliver them to Pierce.” His space pirate buddies had new equipment ready to take the tech from us. “If a building is set on fire, or your bank is being robbed,” said Anela, “Who is it that puts the fire out, stops the robbers, and keeps our fair city of LA safe from crime?” “The XenoForce!” said the audience. I was looking down at the crowd. “That’s you bro,” said Micah. “No, its us,” I said. “Please put your hands together for our heroes, The XenoForce!” said Anela. We were flying to the stage. I was giving high fives to some people at the audience. EJ was doing his condor thing and Micah was doing Ice tricks. Bryan was flexing while Denise was doing her fast punch technique.

“Thank you thank you,” I said, “But I wanna be real for a second can we turn the music down a notch?” I was floating on my board. Somebody kissed my leg. “Being honored with the key to the city, and having a museum with my team’s name on it is great, but you know what’s even greater?” I asked, “You wanna know?” “I love you!” said a random citizen. “I love you too,” I said, “The biggest honor I have is leading my team. Without them, I don’t know who I’d be.” Anela was listening. “Most people would hog the fame, but he shares it.” “Often I ask myself, who would I be without my team, my greatest friends,” I said. The ground started to rumble. “The hell?” I asked. I saw the Space Pirates arriving. “Them again?” I asked. “Ladies and gentleman, please clear the area!” said someone. Dargan pulled out some futuristic saber. “The boss really came through with this stuff,” he said. “Dargan!” I said, “I should’ve known you’d be the one behind this.”

“On the contrary, I’m just an errand boy for my boss,” said Dargan, “His money is green and as a bonus, I get to take on Xenoblade.” His minions started stealing tech from the festival. Lin knew she had to do something. “Xenoblade needs my help,” she said. “Lin wait,” said Hank but was interrupted. “I’ll just evacuate the citizens and take on any stragglers who try and stop me,” said Lin, “I’ve got some new gear and this is a good spot to test run it.” Talia nodded. “I’ll be safe!” said Lin as she ran off. “I can understand Vivian doing this, but are you sure its ok to let Lin do this?” asked Hank. “Don’t worry, the girls may be young but they’re also resourceful,” said Talia, “Remember what it was like to try and ground them?” I was busy fighting Dargan. He tried to hit me with his saber but I jumped and kicked him. He landed on something and it started to fall. I saw a kid in the way. “C’mon move kid!” I said. He was still standing there. “Denise!” I said. “On it!” she said. She ran over. “Somebody help him!!” said his mom, “NOOOOOO!” Denise caught him in time. Dargan got up and was surrounded by police officers. “Hold it punk!” said one of them. “I surrender!” he said. “Oh boy,” I said.

Dargan used his saber to take them down. I tried punching him but he blocked it. “Impressive,” he said, “NOT!” He kicked me and I fell on a table. “As fun as this is, I’m afraid we must end this little charade,” said Dargan. He was about to hit me but somebody stopped him with a strange energy stick. “Hello there,” he said. He used a power gauntlet and punched Dargan away. “Hey, thanks,” I said. “Don’t thank me yet,” he said, “We got a job to do.” “So you’re part of S.F.H?” I asked. “Yes,” he said, “I’m here to take back the tech they stole.” “Who are you?” I asked. “I’m the Battery,” said Battery. I saw Lin evacuating citizens. “Don’t worry I got this covered,” she said, “Go!” A space pirate was behind her. I had a vision of the space pirate attacking her. “Lin watch out!” I said. She somehow froze him in his tracks and then pushed him back. “Whoa!” I said. “Pretty cool huh?” asked Lin, “I make a lot of good inventions but I keep the best ones for myself.”

Vivian changed into her costume and went into action. She started throwing smoke balls to confuse the space pirates and then started taking them out one by one.  “Time to try out my new toy,” said Vivian, “Cinder Missile!” She shot a huge smoke ball and it blew up a weapon the space pirates had. Samus was cuffing the thugs while taking back the stolen gear. One of the guys was about to attack her but Battery stopped him. “Thanks,” said Samus. “No problem,” he said. Dargan saw Purple Haze. “Well, well, if it isn’t the smoker,” he said. “What are you planning punk-ass?” asked Purple Haze. “That’s need to know information and you don’t need to know,” he said. They started fighting. Vivian had the upper hand at first, but lost her balance. Dargan slashed one of her smoke gauntlets off. “Shit,” she said. He then kicked her in the face and her mask fell off. I saw her face. It was revealed to be Vivian. “Oh no,” I said.

I jumped at Dargan ready to fight. “Get away from her!” I said. I started fighting him off while Vivian got up. “Are you ok Vivian?” I asked her. “How do you know my name?” asked Vivian. “You little brat,” said Dargan. He thew something at us but Lin stopped it. “Thanks Lin,” I said. I had my monado pointed at him. “Surrender now or be ready to fight us all,” I said. Dargan looked down and saw the Scavengers For Hire show up. “Looks like my time here is up,” he said, “This time I’ll let you go, but the next time we meet, you won’t be so lucky.” He escaped. Everybody was evacuated. “I’ve never seen this side of you before Xenoblade,” said Vivian, “Thanks for saving my life.” “When I saw him try and attack you, I just couldn’t let that happen,” I said, “This made me realize just how important you are.” She blushed. “I’m flattered, but I’m already seeing a special guy,” she said, “Michael Morrison.” It was time. “Vivian, there’s something I have to tell you,” I said, “Take off my mask.” “Why?” she asked. “Under the mask is a person that you never expected to see,” I said taking her hands. She started to take off the mask, but I was wearing another one. It as a mask based off Batman. “And this one,” I said, “In case the other one fell off.” She took it off and saw my face. “Michael?” she asked. “Yes,” I said, “I am Xenoblade.” “Not in a million years,” she said as she smiled. I bent down to Lin. “Thanks for your help kiddo,” I said, “Just be careful out there.” “Its nice that you’re worrying about me Michael, and I appreciate it,” said Lin, “But…. I’m sorry if it felt like I got in your way.” “What?” I asked, “Nobody was harmed thanks to you.” “Really?” she asked. “Of course,” I said, “If I didn’t mean that I wouldn’t have said it.” “You’re so sweet,” said Lin, “You’ve always been like a brother to me you know. Good thing I have a friend like you who supports my dreams.”

“What do you mean?” I asked. “I don’t have much friends, and people make fun of me for what I make,” said Lin, “I’m kinda worried that my suit won’t make it into the science off.” “Well, I’ll tell you what,” I said, “You helped us with that battle with the space pirates, so how about I return the favor by helping you test out your suit.” “Really? Thank you so much,” said Lin. She kissed my cheek. “C’mon sis, let’s go meet Mom and Dad,” said Lin. “See you at school ok?” said Vivian. She kissed my forehead and left. (To the 4th wall) Oh yeah. Later Vivian and her band were doing a performance and asked me to videotape it. Even her parents were there to see it. She did her own rendition of Black Betty called “Dumb Janice.” Not only was it a hilarious name, but it was a catchy song. When Vivian played her guitar I was amazed.

After she finished she joined me off stage. “Thanks again for doing this Michael,” she said. “Don’t mention it,” I said. “Now I just gotta hide this stuff since my grandpa’s at the house,” said Vivian. “What do you mean?” I asked. “It’s a long story but…. My older brother Zach, he was a musician, and he inspired me to do music,” said Vivian, “But one day when I was 10, dad gave him money to do his music career, but Gramps thought he stole the money and forced me to give up music. We’ve been hiding the music thing from him ever since.” “Wow,” I said, “I’m sorry to hear that.” “But I don’t wanna think about that now,” said Vivian, “I’ve been getting letters from him and writing him back.” She held my hand. “Plus I got a new boyfriend,” she said as she kissed my cheek, “See you later Michael.” Later I was listening in on some police information about the Space Pirates. Anela opened the door and brought in some materials.

“Here’s the rest of the materials you need Michael,” said Anela, “What are you doing?” “I’m trying to get more info about that guy I saw,” I said, “I got a good look at him, and it turns out he’s the guy who may have stolen my suit.” “I’m pretty sure it was an accident,” said Anela. “I know,” I said, “I’m just filled with a lot of shit in my head ok?” “Michael, I understand how you feel, but it doesn’t do you well to handle things on your own,” said Anela, “Why do you do that?” “Because I’m scared,” I said, “Scared that I’ll lost somebody, just like I lost my dad.” “Michael, you can’t carry that weight,” she said, “There was nothing you could’ve done to save him.” “Don’t say that,” I said, “I should’ve been there to save him, but I was too consumed in anger.” She felt my face. “Why did you act the way you did when you were fighting those guys?” asked Anela. “Because I told myself that I’d never let anybody get hurt again,” I said, “Aftwe what happened to Dad, I just couldn’t let it happen again.” “Look Michael, I know you feel like this is your responsibility alone, but everybody needs help, evne Xenoblade,” said Anela, “I’m gonna go, but just know this; if you need us, or if you need me, we’ll be there.” She closed the door.

I spent the rest of the night listening to the information and soon fell asleep. The capsule containing the strange goo fell and broke. I was asleep dreaming of my dad’s death. The goo got onto my hand and started to form into my xeno costume. However it was a black and red color, mostly black. In the dream I had Chrome in my sights and decided to kill him for what he did to my father. I soon woke up and the goo formed around my eyes. I woke up and found myself on top of a building. “The hell?” I asked. I got a look at myself at a mirror, and I looked good. “Wow,” I said, “Let’s see what this thing can do.” I ran off the building and did a flip. I called on my hoverboard and was moving faster than usual. I then jumped on another building and was sticking to it. (To the 4th wall) This is something else!
