Superkids

Superkids: Michael's War


	"Michael, we have an urgent matter we need your help for", Michael Drayran hears his parents yell. Michael is the Prince of Hero Kingdom, one of the five kingdoms that, together, reign over the planet. Being a soldier in the royal army, Michael is used to being sent on missions by his parents. Michael runs his hand over his brunette mohawk, makes sure his camouflage pants and camouflage shirt are zipped up, sheaths his swords, holsters his guns, and heads out to heed his parents' call.

	Michael rushes to his parents throne room. "The Dragonians and Catdragons are on the brink of war", they explain, "we need you to go to Dragonia as an ambassador and try to prevent this war".

"It'll be an honor", Michael replies.

Before setting off for Dragonia, Michael stops by Techno Kingdom. His girlfriend, Penelope Irons, is the princess of Techno Kingdom. like a lot of people in her kingdom, Penelope is a "technopath", meaning she can control machines with her mind. Michael easily spots Penelope. with her blonde hair in pigtails, and her bright red miniskirt over camouflage pants, she's hard to miss.

"I'm off to Dragonia to prevent a war", Michael explains to Penelope.

"Sounds like fun", Penelope muses.  Penelope dons a spacesuit with a jetpack strapped to its back. "Mind if I tag along?", she asks

"You can if you want to", Michael answers, "You wouldn't happen to have another jetsuit, would you?"

"Of course I do", Penelope answers, "Hey Sally, bring me the other jetsuit". A red-haired girl wearing a red satin dress steps out of a nearby garage, struggling to carry a suit like the one Penelope is wearing. Saladora "Sally" Blitzer, who is from Turbo Kingdom (where everyone and everything moves at super speed), works with Penelope in her garage. Michael rushes over to Sally and takes the suit from her. His superstrength makes lifting it easy. After Michael dons the suit, Sally rushes off at break-neck speed.

You ready?" Penelope asks.

"Let's go", Michael responds, and the two of them blast off.

The Dragonians (which resemble humanoid dragons) and the Catdragons (which look like feline dragons) usually get along with each other. Michael and Penelope arrive to find the Dragonians' leader, King Coatl, and the Catdragons' Leader, Queen Furscale, butting heads with each other.

	"Your half of the Planet is starting to encroach upon our half", King Coatl yells.

	"No, it is your half of the planet that is encroaching upon ours", Queen Furscale yells back.

	Jumping in-between then, Michael holds up his arms. "Dragonians! Catdragons! there is no need for this senseless fighting", Michael pleads.

	"i'm getting too old for this", King Coatl remarks. The age-old king is breathing hard.

	"Speak for yourself", comes another voice from the Dragonian army.
Sergeant Nullhorn, a top-ranking Dragonian warrior, approaches Michael.
"Why don't you bug off and leave King Coatl alone", Nullhorn demands.

	King Coatl turns to Nullhorn. "If Michael doesn't want us going to war with the Catdragons, maybe we should try and make peace with them".

	Nullhorn becomes enraged, "I'm not gonna let some dork from HeroWorld tell us we can't go to war".

	At that remark, Penelope steps forth, "My boyfriend is not a dork". Penelope rocket-launches at Nullhorn, be he effortlessly knocks her away, sending her crashing into a tree. Nullhorn draws his gun, and fires on the tree, knocking it down on top of Penelope

	Nullhorn turns his gun on King Coatl and shoots him. "We don't need this old geiser holding us back anymore", Nullhorn insists. Next, Nullhorn turns around, his gun facing the rest of his Army. "Everyone, I am your king now. any objections?" he commands. The Dragonian army joins in a cheer, "Hail Nullhorn!". Nullhorn turns to Michael. "You're next", Nullhorn declares.

	Michael braces himself as Nullhorn unsheathes his sword. Michael punches a button on his suit and a glowing sword extends out from the right gauntlet. "You're gonna pay for hurting my girlfriend like that", Michael declares.

	Michael and Nullhorn engage in a swordfight. "You may have superstrength, but even that pales in comparison to a Dragonian's strength", Nullhorn insists.

 	After they trade blows several times, Michael unleashes a wild swing, slicing off Nullhorn's left wing. A second later, someone fires an energy blast at Nullhorn, shooting off his right wing.

	It was Penelope who fired the blast. Her Jetsuit has a cannon concealed in one of it's gauntlets. Queen Furscale had rescued Penelope beforethe tree could fall on her.

	Nullhorn is furious. "The Catdragons can have this freaking planet. It isn't worth it to me to keep fighting them. I'm declaring war on HeroWorld instead", Nullhorn declares. Nullhorn departs for HeroWorld with the Dragonian army in tow.

	Michael and Penelope walk over to King Coatl. "Are you alright?" Michael asks.

	"I fear my wounds are fatal", King Coatl responds mournfully. King Coatl places a scaly hand on Michael's left shoulder. "Take my Dragonian powers and stop Nullhorn", King Coatl tells Michael. Michael is transformed into a dragon-like form similar to a Dragonian. he discovers he can change in and out of this form. Penelope blushes.

	Then, Michael feels something on his right shoulder. It'a the fluffy-scaled paw of Queen Furscale. The elderly queen speaks in a soft voice. "King Coatl can only strengthen you offensive-wise. Take some of my defensive power too", she requests, "We Catdragons are covered in indestructible fur-covered scales. Our defensive abilities combined with the Dragonians' offensive abilities will make you strong enough to defeat Nullhorn and save your planet". Michael is covered in fluffy scales from head to toe. He discovers he can make the scales go away and come back as he pleases.

	The Catdragons opt to remain on Dragonia, not interested in fighting, so Michael returns to HeroWorld to confront Nullhorn. Arrivng they see something big flying towards them.

"It's Hyper Castle", Penellope realizes. Hyper Kingdom is able to lift off and fly around. As such, it moves to place to place and is harder for invaders to find than the other kingdoms. Hyper Castle can seperate from the rest of the kingdom and act as a mobile fortress.

Michael and Penelope land inside one of the castle's towers. Gideon Turbo, Darlia Annstein, and Ezekiel Castor are waiting for them. Gideon is the prince of Hyper Kingdom. He looks rather tough in his leather jacket and leather pants with his slick black hair combed back. Darlia, princess of Polymer Kingdom (home of the world's top scientists), is wearing a white lab coat over her sky blue dress and burgundy cargo pants. She has her brunette hair tied in a bun. Ezekiel, prince of Spellbound kingdom (where magic is abundant), is wearing a black cloak over his purple shirt and blue jeans. His yellowish-white mullet shakes violently as Sally, who happens to be his girlfriend, suddenly comes rushing past him.

"I'm gonna go find my father", Sally declares. She kisses Ezekiel real quick, then jumps out a window. Sally opens a parachute and floats out of sight.

"We gotta stop those Dragonians", Michael declares, "gather the Superkids". "Superkids" is the name Michael gave to the team he and his friends formed, which is comprised of all the children of the five kingdoms.

	Michael and Penelope parachute out of Hyper Castle and head for Hero Kingdom, figuring Nullhorn will strike there first. They arrive to find that Nullhorn has already struck. Michael's parents are lying on the ground, dead. Michael cries a bit, but, being a soldier in the royal army, he's used to people he knows dying. Still, the loss of his parents saddens him. Penelope becomes worried.

	"I'm going to Techno. I'm worried that my parents will be next. Penelope returns to her home kingdom, while Michael heads to Hyper. He arrives to find Hyper completely abandoned, aside from a teary-eyed Gideon kneeling beside his parents' bodies. Dead knights are lying around everywhere. Hyper Castle itself seems to have crash-landed. Michael notices some of the fallen knights are from Hero Kingdom. Scorch marks on their armor are evidence it was Dragonians that killed them. Gideon notices Michael and walks over to him. "Dragonians shot down the castle", he reveals, "Me and Darlia barley had time to kiss before we had to parachute out. She's headed to Polymer".

	Penelope arrives at Techno Kingdom to find a ghastly sight awaiting her. Just like in Hero Kingdom, death and destruction is everywhere. Penelope's parents are among the dead. Penelope sees someone else kneeling on the floor: Sally. Penelope also recognizes the dead knight that Sally us sitting beside as Sally's father. Sally is crying so hard, she has soaked her red satin dress.

	"Try to be strong for your father", Penelope advises.

	Sally stands up and stops crying. "Thanks for your support. I'm gonna go find Ezekiel now" Sally decides. Sally rushes out the door as Penelope looks back to her parents. Unable to stand the sight any more, Penelope rushes away from Techno kingdom in tears. Penelope meets up with Michael en route to Polymer Kingdom.

	"Cheer Up", Michael encourages, "we'll get through this". Michael kisses Penelope, swallowing some of her tears in the process. In Michael's embrace, Penelope stops crying, but is ready to collapse. Michael picks Penelope up in his arms and makes his way to Polymer Kingdom.

	The two of them arrive to find a bunch of Superkids, and the few remaining knights of HeroWorld, engaged in battle with the Dragonians. Darlia and Ezekiel, their faces red as if they had been crying, confirm that their parents are dead too. Penelope leaps out of Michael's arms.

	"It's time to make these Dragonian jerks pay for what they've done", she adamantly declares.
Sally is nearby, now wearing a camouflage miniskirt. She has two wicked-looking machetes, one in each hand, and is savagely slashing at the Dragonians.

	"The Superkids confronted the Dragonians at Spellbound kingdom and chased them back to Polymer", Ezekiel explains. Michael, Penelope, Gideon, Darlia, Ezekiel, and Sally decide confront Nullhorn together.

	"Lets trap Nullhorn in my lab", Darlia suggests, "I can rid us of him after that".

	Gideon and Sally run circles around Nullhorn, cutting him off from his troops. Darlia steps out of her lab wielding some kind of ray gun. She shoots Nullhorn in his leg with it, covering said leg in ice.

	"Freeze Ray", Darlia explains, "Dragonians are weakened by ice and cold temperatures, unlike Catdragons, whose fluffy scales protect them from the cold". Ezekiel points a finger at Nullhorn as Darlia freezes his other leg. Ezekiel mutters an incantation and Nullhorn is levitated and thrust through the door into Darlia's lab. Michael, Penelope, Gideon, Darlia, Ezekiel, and Sally enter the lab behind him. The Dragonian Army attempts to force their way into the lab , but Michael and Penelope hold them back. Darlai flips a switch on a device in the lab and a wormhole opens up across the room.

	"Send Nullhorn and his army into that wormhole, and we'll be rid of them", Darlia explains. Darlia hits Nullhorn with her freeze ray again, freezing the rest of him. Ezekiel does his levitating thing again and then chucks the frozen Nullhorn into the wormhole
.
	"Michael, Penelope, let the other Dragonians into my lab" Darlia commands. Michael and Penelope run over to Gideon, Darlia, Ezekiel, and Sally as the Dragonian army enters the lab. Darlia turns a dial on the wormhole device.

	"Shield us", Darlia yells at Michael. Michael generates a force field of fluffy scales. Darlia turns the dial as far up as possible. the Wormhole's gravity intensifies and it sucks in all of the Dragonians. Michael's fluffy-scale shield protects him and his friends from the wormhole's gravitational pull.

	Once the last Dragonian disappears into the wormhole, Darlia pushes the lever back up, and the wormhole closes. "Hopefully, we won't ever seen the Dragonians again", She remarks. A few days later, the Superkids, and the few knights of HeroWorld that survived the battle gather at Hero Kingdom to watch as Michael and Penelope are crowned king and queen of HeroWorld. Queen Furscale and several other Catdragons are also in attendance at the ceremony.

	Michael stands up to make a speech, "I know our kingdoms have been decimated by the recent battle with the Dragonians. Know that I and my lovely queen, Penelope, will be doing our best to restore the five Kingdoms to their former glory". Penelope stands up next. "I will personally oversee the rebuilding efforts", she announces.
	Everyone, including the Catdragons, join together and chant, "All hail King Michael and Queen Penelope".

	Somewhere out in space, the Dragonians float around aimlessly. Nullhorn is still frozen solid. "I say we ditch this jerk and choose a new leader", One Dragonian suggests. "Good Idea", Another responds. They give the frozen Nullhorn a kick, and then flying in the opposite direction from him and head for the nearest planet. Nullhorn, meanwhile, is floating towards a sun.
