The Wizard Of Amp!
After Isabella organized the teams and everyone all geared up and ready to go they all left in their respective groups to go out on patrol.
Currently we are following Bellows, Ash, Calder, and Zahid.
“Alrighty lads. Always make sure to be on the lookout for anything you see that might be suspicious. If you have any questions about what might count as ‘suspicious’ behavior then just let me know okay.” Bellows explained to his temporary students.
As Bellows was saying this Ash looked up and saw something interesting in the sky.
“Hey Bellows?”
“Oi Ash. What be your question?”
“Does that count as suspicious?” He points up at the sky.
Our group looks up.
They see what appears to be a man floating in the sky about 50 feet above the ground. He looks kind of like a wizard with a purple robe, but the most notable thing about him is that he has a giant light bulb attached to the top of his head.
“Citizens of Central City!” The wizard announced to the people below. “Be not afraid! I only want to rule over you all with an iron fist!”
“Hey Oz!” Ash shouts up at him.
“Who Dares to interrupt my monologue?” The wizard starts to float towards our group of heroes.
“You seem to be pretty far away from the Emerald City right now.” Ash quips. “Ain’t very close to Kansas either.”
“Oh, you think you're so clever, but you won’t be acting so tough after I, Wattz The Electro-Wizard, am done with you!”
Ash tries to suppress a laugh.
“What was that? Why are you laughing?”
“Oh nothing. It’s only that I thought Halloween was next month. Guess I must have been mistaken.”
“Oh, My dear boy! If it is a fight you want then I am more than happy to oblige!”
Wattz proceeds to put one of his hands on the light bulb attached to the top of his head and points the other one at Ash in a finger gun pose.
Suddenly out of his fingertips he shoots a beam of lightning at our group which they all dodge with relative ease.
Wattz blows on his finger to put out the smoke that is lingering. “There is plenty more where that came from if you keep taunting me, but I assume that show of power was enough to put you in your place you insolent child!”
Ash is about to retort, but Bellows pulls him aside.
“I see what your doin’ lad, but it might be for the best if you don’t try to make too many nemeses on your first day.”
“I’m sorry Mr. Njord, but I thought that was part of what heroes were supposed to do.”
“...You have been watching too many superhero movies laddy…”
While Bellows was talking to Ash, Calder walked towards Wattz.
“Big talk for a man wearing a dress.” Calder says with a smug grin.
“Seriously, for the love of…for the last time this is a wizard’s robe. Not a dress! Got it!”
Ash glares towards Calder.
“What? I was just doing the same thing that you were doing bro.”
“I was just trying to do some hero/villain banter which I thought was just part of how these things went.” Ash turns towards Wattz. “Come on, back me up on this. You know I'm right.”
“I’m inclined to agree with hotshot over here. His banter mostly gave me something to retort with, but you!” Wattz points at Calder. “You're just a jerk.”
Bellows cut everyone off.
“Okay, that's enough. Why don’t we just skip to the part where we arrest you. How does that sound?” Bellows gestures towards Wattz awaiting a response.
“HA! Like any measly hero could ever keep up with me.” Wattz strikes a menacing pose. “For I am Wattz The Electro-Wi…”
As Wattz was monologuing, Bellows put his horn up to his lips and blew a mighty gust of wind at the wizard.
“Oh! If you want to play then let's play!” Wattz flies higher in the air and puts his right arm towards the sky. All the clouds in the vicinity start to fly towards where he is. “I’d like to see if you are still so arrogant after you ride the lightning!”
Right on cue a storm begins to surge.
“Enough chit chat! Time to fry!”
Wattz sends a volley of lightning bolts down towards our heroes.
They dodge this at first, but as they do so they are becoming more and more exhausted. They can’t keep this up forever.
Bellows puts up his horn to block the continuous attack.
“Get behind me!” Bellows yells towards the boys. “I think it is time to come up with a counter attack.”
As they formulate their plan Wattz becomes bored by their lack of reaction.
“Oh boo! You guys are no fun! Well, if you don’t mind I will share my tragic backstory with you all in the meantime.” Wattz clears his throat before continuing. “I wasn’t always bad, shocking I know, because for a time I felt like I was able to live at least a semi-decent life. I went to school with a major in electrical engineering and passed as an honor student. Afterwards I was quickly hired as an electrician and quickly soared to the top of my field. Of course my control over electricity helped quite a lot with this. Name another electrician who is shock-proof. I dare you. Things were going well, for a time. That is until just a few months ago I was out of a job! Fired! Forced to live on the streets! And Would you like to know why?”
The heroes were not listening. They were still huddled behind Bellows coming up with a plan.
“I’ll tell you why! It is all because of you!” Wattz turns around and points to a billboard.
The billboard in question is an advertisement for a company with a man smiling and pointing out at the city. He had a gold and black striped suit and wind blown golden blonde hair.This man is Maximillian Midas, the CEO of Midas Machines.
“If it weren’t for you and your robots I would still be in a job and wouldn’t have had to resort to supervillainy to get by!” Wattz is visibly fuming in anger. “You and your robot worker initiative! I could have at least been a repairman for the robots but NO! You hired robots to do that as well!”
Wattz turns back toward our heroes.
“And that is what made me into the supervillain you see before you! Now you understand my pain!”
“Okay break!” Bellows yells as he and the young heroes get into position.
“What the…were any of you even listening to me? No matter, back from the top here we go! I wasn’t always bad…”
Before Wattz could continue to say that entire monologue over again the heroes have started to fight back.
Bellows runs right below where Wattz was floating and unleashes a mighty gust of wind.
Ash and Calder respectively shoot beams of fire and ice at the wind current.
Zahid uses his control over wind and starts combining the wind current and the beams of fire and ice into one small tornado.
As Ash and Calder continue to cast their elemental attacks the tornado starts to grow.
When it gets big enough to reach him Wattz is pulled into the tornado. As this happens his storm clouds dissipate and he starts shooting lightning bolts into random directions, but this doesn't help him.
Bellows, Ash, and Calder stop their attacks.
Zahid gestures his arms downward and causes the tornado to shrink.
Wattz is now standing in front of them trying to keep his balance. He ultimately fails doing so and falls on to the ground.
Bellows helps him up and proceeds to lift him over one of his shoulders.
A few police cars drive towards where our heroes are standing. The officers in the cars quickly get out of them and head towards Bellows.
“As soon as we saw that tornado we came as fast as we could.”
“Well, that saves me a call.” Bellows jokes and gives a hearty laugh. “Me and these heroes in training just caught this villain. That is all.”
“Okay. I think we’ve got this from here.”
One of the police officers handcuff Wattz and starts to walk him towards the back of an open police van.
As they shove him in, Wattz gets up and turns towards Bellows and the students.
“You haven’t seen the last of me! For I am Wattz The Electro-Wiz-”
He is cut off by the door closing in front of him.
Bellows turns towards his temporary students.
“I think that would be enough excitement for one day, lads.” Bellows pats Ash on the shoulder. “Let’s head back.”
