Jack Mustomask

The Evil Teachers

Jack woke up to find himself on his wooden bedroom floor, holding his old, grey game boy which displayed the mute title screen of Super Mario Land in his hands. It was dark out. He had no clue what hit him, but whatever it was, it hit him hard.

He eventually realised that he was getting nowhere by just lying on the ground, so he stood up. Yet the problem remained: he was still on the ground. So he decided to fly above the gro-

Wait, excuse me? Fly? He was flying? He never flew before! And this certainly came as a surprise to Jack as he hit his head off the ceiling only to fall back onto the ground where he started.

He had no wings or any other physical alterations (apart from the recently acquired bump on his face), just the ability. Jack lifted his head and reached towards the water bottle on his bedside table to see it appear suddenly into his hand. What was the meaning of this? What else was he now capable of? Perhaps he was always able to perform such actions, but he felt as though this was not the case. He felt new. He felt fresh.

He also felt like he was holding in his pee for quite a long time now, but otherwise he felt pretty fresh.

Meanwhile, shortly before Jack woke up, in the city not far in from the suburban house Jack lived in, the Evil Genius prepared his massive... thing? Even he didn't know what to call it, but it looked like a giant white ray gun with a variety of colourful buttons and levers all over it. He stood with his gun on top of a grey, cuboid-shaped, brick-walled, worn-down-at-the-sides building. He had grey hair that was bald only at the top of his head and wore a big dirty white lab coat. He lightly chuckled to himself as he aimed down at a group of specific unique people from all over the world, each one dressed equally uniquely. He pressed the big red button on the side of his gun and as quick as that everyone below was no longer quite as unique.

The next morning Jack went outside. As he hovered above the buildings he noticed that so much crime was taking place here in a city that seemed so distant from that kind of behaviour for the twelve years he lived here. He decided that it was the right thing to do to stop this evil no matter where he went, and he did so, forming his motto "see": Stop Evil Everywhere.

A couple of days later the Evil Genius was in his lair putting together a mixture that he hoped would be able to brainwash people into being evil when shot at them. His logic was that if he made school teachers evil, the children and therefore the population would become evil.

He walked into Room 1 of School Ita, somehow unseen by those inside.

"What's two multiplied by two again, Miss?"

"Oh, surely you can remember your two times tables!" she sighed, "Anyway, the answer - and try to remember this for the next time - the answer is -"

From underneath a table by the front door, the Evil Genius shot the teacher with his Hypno-Gun. Then, almost seamlessly, the teacher continued, "- the answer is evil!"

Throughout the school, more and more teachers were shot.

*Zap Zap Zap*

"EVIL!"

"Yes!" shouted the Evil Genius to the wall, "Be evil! It's not that bad to be bad, you know?"

"Who are you talking to?" asked a little girl. To tell you the truth, the Evil Genius didn't know who he was talking to. He knew that the now evil teachers were nowhere near him, yet he still spoke. In fact, this happened to him all throughout his life, which led to him going insane and therefore becoming the Evil Genius that he is.

Jack was now wearing all red with a yellow circle on his top containing the letters "JM". He had a green and blue striped cape and wore a thick black belt with a golden buckle on his waist. He noticed the zapping with his super hearing powers and teleported to the school in an instant.

Standing in his way was a blockade of living evil homework books, ready to fire at him. Jack defended himself by setting them on fire, leaving them to burn. "Yay!" shouted the children in delight.

Into the school Jack went. The teachers backed off a little but continued to chant: "Evil! Evil!" Jack stared into their eyes one at a time and brought them back to their normal teaching state. A strangely calm atmosphere followed, most people in a daze, the children not knowing whether to cheer for the destruction of their homework or groan at their teachers being brought back to normal.

The Evil Genius walked out of Room 12 where his last victim was hypnotised. "You'll never catch me!" he shouted back to the footpath as he attempted to run away, only to be stopped by Jack and swiftly flown to the police station.

The teachers decided to throw a party to celebrate being saved so the children were happy in the end. "Well," said Jack, "That was pretty easy. Easy peasy make-me-queasy kind of easy."

"Who are you talking to?"
