Chapter 28: Salazar The Switchblade

  I raised a eyebrow. "Why're we stopping at a gas station?" "Because, gas stations have coffee." Katelyn reasoned, walking inside. I sighed. "I cant even have coffee.." "But they have other things too." "Yeah, true." Katelyn went to get coffee, and I walked over to my favorite machine. There's this mini fridge next to it, and it has cups of ice cream (the size of a water bottle).

  "Alright let's see.. any peanut butter cup flavor? Cookies 'N Cream.. Vanilla.. Chocolate.. Mint Chocolate Chip.. Coffee..Peanut butter..- no PB cup? Huh, I guess Peanut Butter will have to do." I said, taking the Peanut Butter out. I grabbed a spoon, and went to find Katelyn.

  "What kind you get this time?" Katelyn asked, taking a straw. "Peanut Butter." "Huh. I would try the Mint Chocolate chip next time if I were you." She said, heading towards the cashier. We paid, and headed outside to the car. "How's the coffee?" "Decent. Coffee's not as good as you'd anticipate though..-" A boulder flew in front of us, taking out Katelyn's coffee.

  Katelyn used her telekinesis, making the coffee land perfectly on a car. "The heck?" She asked, turning around. A boulder flew at her face. I ran in front of her, smashing the boulder to bits. "Hey- how'd you do that?" Katelyn asked. "If you speed it up fast enough, it's possible." "Oh, right."

  The man stepped from behind the corner, and chucked a rock at us. "Really? A rock? Dude, that's lame." The man's eyes lit on fire, and the boulder that he was holding was now a hovering ball of magma. "I shouldn't have said anything.." "Moonie! Where the heck is she?" Moonie came from behind her, and bit the man's left leg. The flames in the man's eyes grew larger, and he slammed his foot into Moonie's jaw. "Moonie!"

  Moonie came limping back. "I'll tend to Moonie. You make sure he stays here." I nodded.

  I stepped infront of them. "Alright- who ever you are- you shouldn't have done that!" "The name's Magmar, Speedster.." I raised a eyebrow. "I see i've got around." "Yes.. you prove to be a threat to us.."

  "Who's 'us'?" Magmar gritted his teeth. "You fool!" He shouted, another boulder flying by my head. "Again, watch the hair!" I shouted, chucking a water ball at his eyes. It hit his left eye, and it began to steam. "Gah!" "So that's his weakness, water- Maroon- keep doing that!" I nodded, chucking a large water ball (the size of a car tire) at the boulder he was holding. It began to steam, and Magmar's eyes lit up once more.

  A red aura appeared around me, and I was lifted up into the air. "What the-" "Taste telekinesis, Speedster!" Magmar shouted, throwing me into the side of the gas station. I groaned, and something fell out of the dumpster. "Huh..?" A blue switchblade sat on the ground. "A switchblade? Interesting." I got up, and grabbed the switchblade. Magmar shot a ball of magma at me, and I looked down at the switchblade.

  "Please be magical.. Please be magical.. Please-?" I switched open the switchblade, and it extended into a large sword. The blade was long, and the handle had a good grip. "Yes! I knew it! I love you switchblade!" The ball of magma missed my hair by a inch. "I gotta stop doing that.."

  I ran at Magmar, holding the switchblade. I slashed at his chest, and there was a explosion once the blade met his chest. I stumbled back, and switched the blade back into a switchblade.

  His eyes widened. "You have Salazar-? Oh no.. -Kee!" The man shouted, backing up. Apparently the switchblade's name is Salazar. The ground shook. I gulped, and turned around. There was a another man- and he was.. made of rock? Is that the Thing? He slammed his fist into the ground, sending me into the air.

  His eye sockets were steaming, but he had no eyeballs. "The heck-" A fist- probably the heat of the sun- slammed into my back, sending me into the concrete. "Gah.." I rubbed my back. "Ha!" A familiar voice shouted. Magmar.. "Not so powerful now, Eh?" He asked, putting his foot on my back. The both of them chuckled. "Thanks, Kee." The man said, high-fiving the rocky man.

  Kee was hovering up in the air, surrounded by a turquoise aura. "Katie!" "You didn't think i'd leave you alone, Mar?" She asked, helping me up. I smiled, and looked up. Kee was still going up, trying to break free. "Too bad, Kee!" I shouted up. Kee growled. "This isn't the last time we cross paths, Speedster!" Magmar shouted, running off.

  I sighed, and picked up my ice cream. "Oh well, there's always the food at the base." Katelyn smiled, grabbing her coffee from the car. "That's the spirit. Let's head off, shall we?" "We shall."

-----------------------------

  So tonight Taylor is meeting Batman for some dinner. Don't ask me why.. She decided to bring me along, so I met her outside. We hopped on Blue, and headed into the sky.

  "Did you hear about Happened?" Taylor asked. "Yeah, poor Issac. Plus it's all over the SQ Newspaper. Rita Strange writes this, of course." "Does she not write anything?" "I dunno.." Taylor pulled out her phone, and looked at the front page on the website.

Superhero FireWolf breaks up with NorthWind!

By: Rita Strange

  Ahh, one of the most shipped supers, FireWolf and North Wind, have broken up :(! Apparently NorthWind is too young for her.. He's only a year younger.. That would be fine for me.. but again, i'm not FireWolf. Maybe she will look for older guys, so I made a list!

-Fairfax

-Speedster

-Summoner

-Gridon

  These guys are potential candidates for her. Two of them are over a thousand years old! "I'm in love with someone else." Fairfax claims.Maybe Firefax or Fairwolf will happen.

Signing off,

R. S.

"I really hate Rita.." I groaned. "MAROON, DUCK!"

  Hey uh- Nerdi from the future here. I decided to add Salazar (the 'magical' switchblade) into the story. He's the sword on the cover, by the way
