I stood at the top of the mountain (well, it was the backyard balcony, but for this game, it's a mountain). No one could stop me as my underling came running up.

"Sealand! There's trouble! The magic orb is slippery, and I might drop it! I don't want HIM to catch it!"

"Don't worry, Wy! As the great hero I am, I'll take full responsibility if you mess up!"

"You've been hanging out with America too much. England needs to hire a new nanny."

She can be such a party pooper sometimes! Why can't she just have fun?


Suddenly, Ladonia jumped between us, catching us both off guard. "Haha! Gotcha! Now hand over the magic orb!"

"Actually, what does it even do? It's just one of England's stupid pool ball..." Wy asked.

"It's the ultimate orb of prophecy!" I exclaimed.

"That doesn't even mean anything! Stop using nonsense buzzwords."

"It gives infinite power!" I said enthusiastically.

Wy rolled her eyes. "Lame. Whoever has the orb should get one wish. Like, if Sealand or I have it, we will take your dessert portion."


What do you mean we?! I don't wanna share!


"Oh yeah? If I get the orb, I want all your lunch money for next week!" Ladonia said, smirking.

Wy turned to me. "And you better help me, Sealand! Or else—"

"I just want to be a superhero!" I cut her off, making finger guns. I 'shot' Ladonia in the shoulder. "Pew! You're out for five seconds!"

"What?!"

"Well, I shot you. What can I say?"

Ladonia mimed holding a bazooka. "Boom! You're out for 15 seconds!"


Ha! As if that would work on me.


"Actually, I have a power that makes me immune to all weapons!"

"How's that even fair?" Ladonia pouted.

"Sealand, if you can't be hurt, how am I supposed to use my healing powers?" Wy groaned. "Am I useless?"

"Nah, you're a sidekick! Just don't steal my show!"

Wy glared. "Fine, I'm switching teams! You're on your own."

Ha! She'd regret that soon enough.


"Oh really? Eat this!"


I grabbed the garden hose, cranked it to full blast, and sprayed them both. They screamed.


"Stop! We forfeit!" they shouted in unison.

"That's what I thought! Now, bow down to your one and only hero!"

"More like an evil supreme villain..." they muttered.
