Jill was writing in her diary snd thinking out loud.

Jill: I wonder how my not so evil twin is doing.

Jack: what are you doing?

Jill: None of your business! Go away please, your invading my sanctuary.

Jack: Fine, I'll go.

Jack walked out of her room and closed her door, letting Jill write in her diary in solitude.

In an abandoned stadium across the street...

Big man: I need someone big and fat to feed my giant pet squid!

He clapped his hands and 3 of his interns showed up.

He patted his giant squid on the head.

Big man: I got you dinner!

The interns widened their eyes the squid used his tentacle to grab an intern and it ate him.

The interns ran but the squid caught an intern.

The intern begged not to be eaten.

Travis: Please, I'm to young to die!

He ignored him and dropped him in his mouth.

Big Man: Where is the other one?

They looked around for the last intern, they saw a giant boulder, the squid picked it up and crushed it into dust.

The squid picked up the intern.

Scott: Being eaten by calamari is NOT how I want to die!

The squid dropped him in his mouth.

Big Man laughed.

Big Man: I find satisfaction in people screaming right before their gruesome demise.

Big Man: Come on my slimy pet, it's time to cause mass destruction!

————————————-

The crime alert rang in the headquarters and John went to see what was wrong.

Ally: There appears to be someone riding a giant squid. The squid is demolishing buildings and devouring people!

John: Thanks Ally.

Everyone rushed to the surface to see the giant squid 5 blocks from them.

—————————————————-

The heroes and the "Big man" saw each other.

Big man: Who are you people supposed to be??

Elijah: WE are the people who'll take you to pain town sucker!

Big man: Oh on the contrary, I highly doubt that!

Luke: Oh yea? Try us.

Luke positioned his bow and arrow, drew it back and fired it at him.

To Luke's surprise, the "big man" caught the arrow and broke it in two while he laughs.

Big man: Is that all? A puny arrow?!

Max: Put a sock in it!

He became furious.

Big man: Now you've done it, attack!

The giant squid lifted his tentacles and smashed the ground.

The heroes managed to dodge them.

They hid in an alleyway.

John: How are we supposed to defeat a giant, purple squid?!

Luke: I have an explosive arrow that I could shoot in his mouth when he opens it.

Max: But when it explodes, won't it kill everyone INSIDE in the process?!

Luke: Uh, yeah we might need to come up with another strategy.

Elijah: I got an idea!

Everyone turned to Elijah.

Elijah: I go inside the squid, run out with the pedestrians and then Luke shoots the arrow in the squids mouth IMMEDIATELY when I speed out. Got it?

Amelia: I don't want you to go!

Elijah: I'll be out in a flash.

Elijah winked at Amelia and kissed her on the lips.

Amelia: Ok, be careful.

John: Don't get digested!

Elijah chuckles under his breath and reveals himself.

Big man: I found one of them!

Elijah: Eat me!

The "Big man" was confused for a moment then shrugged it off, he commanded his squid to grab Elijah by the waist, lift him up in the air and drop him in his mouth.

Big man: Sayonara sucker!

He laughs maliciously.
—————————————————————

Elijah saw saliva everywhere.

He started moving his feet faster and faster until he was running and everything stopped moving, turning everything blue.

He stopped running and started to walk.

Elijah: I can stop time? That's so awesome!

He saw a a spoon floating slowly in midair and a couple of skeletons.

Elijah was horrified and widened his eyes.

Elijah: Oh no, I'm too late!

Elijah ran, he saw the squids mouth still open so he ran and jumped over its sharp teeth.

Elijah told Luke to shoot now, Luke shot the arrow.

The arrow slowly made its way inside the mouth.

Elijah vibrated a little, unpausing the time.

The arrow made its way down the squids throat and it exploded.

The squid exploded, squid parts went everywhere.

The "Big man" fell on the ground on his back.

Luke: What happened to the people??

Elijah: I was too late...

Luke: Oh... ok.

The "Big man" stood up, shot a green energy ball and it hit Elijah trapping him inside.

He shot energy balls all willy nilly, everyone ducks and jumps. Luke Threw 3 shurikens and they stabbed the "Big man" in the chest.

Elijah landed safely on his feet.

He dropped to his knees and screamed bloody murder.

He slowly got up and pulled out the shurikens.

John: How is still alive.

He had blood on his lip.

Big man: There's too many of you! I will go and watch Family Guy with my family, but I will be back with my brother!

Max: We'll be ready for you!

Just like that, he vanished.

Amelia: Well, this day was eventful.

Luke yawns.

Luke: I need a nap.

John: We all do.
