The Clown

Chapter 5: You're Ded

"Nope."

"No? What do you mean, "No"? It's a great idea!"

You see, Terra's plan was to contact Tony Stark and ask him to help defeat Pennywise. To him, it seemed like a very effective plan. But to the others, it was quite the opposite.

"He's going to be very confused as to why there is a group of kids asking him for help to fight a clown." Aqua said. "He's not magical, you know?"

"Yeah, but he saved the world. Why can't he help us save the world too?" Terra countered.

"I'm sure that Pennywise won't be terrorizing the whole world." Ven said.

"But just think about it." Terra protested. "What if Tony could build a machine to help us? Or even better, beat up Pennywise as Iron Man?"

"Terra, S-Sergeant H-H-Hartman is already t-trying to beat him up." Bill reminded.

"But what if he can't win?"

That made everyone silent. What if Hartman couldn't win? Well, the answer was clear. If Hartman couldn't win, then maybe Terra's plan was worth it.

After a long time of nothing, everyone agreed to Terra's plan.

But what did Hartman think? Well, there was no way to tell, because he was too busy hiding from Pennywise.

He was in a closet. The one that Pennywise went in before. He heard Pennywise walk past him, saying, "Where is that little... butthole?" A weird insult, but Sergeant Hartman walked out of the closet.

"Surprise, Pennywise!"

The clown was very surprised.

"I teleported. I knew it would work."

"You know what? I'm taking this out to the streets." And so Pennywise teleported Hartman with him to the circle. Hartman walked up to him.

"You're right." Pennywise said.

"I'm right what?" Hartman asked.

"You're not right."

"Why am I not right?"

"Because you're ded. After this battle!"

But Hartman was too quick.

"Nope! You're ded."

He shot Pennywise in the chest, and the clown fell backwards and dropped his keyblade.

Hartman laughed. "He's ded!" He exclaimed.

But was he really? Of course not. Pennywise was still back in the basement.

So as Hartman went back down to fight yet again, Ventus, Georgie, Bill, Aqua, and Terra had teleported to Malibu, California to find Tony Stark.

They had found his home, but unfortunately, there were fans and police everywhere asking for Iron Man.

But since Terra had teleporting powers, he led his group to the front to see Pepper Potts, Tony's assistant, trying to get the fans calmed down.

"Whoa!" She exclaimed. "How... Did you..."

"We teleported." Terra replied. "Now, unlike these fans, we actually need to see Tony. We think that he can help us fight off someone."

Pepper looked at them. "Who are you again?"

"I'm Terra, and they are Aqua, Ven, Georgie and Bill. Please."

The assistant still looked a little shocked, but said, "Can you teleport inside the house so I don't have to open the door for you?"

Terra nodded, and they did as she asked. Once they did, Pepper went inside.

"Ok, he's down in the shop."

She took everyone downstairs to the workshop and opened the door. There he was, working on something with his bots.

"Tony, there's some people to see you!"

The man turned around.

"Seriously, I said no fans right now." He said, annoyingly.

"Tony, they aren't fans." Pepper protested.

"What? Pepper, these are kids!"

"I told you he would say that." Aqua whispered. She walked up to Tony.

"Mr. Stark, we're not crazy fans, we just wanted to ask you something."

"What, about my suit? It's made of iron, there you go!"

"No, not about you. We need your help."

"On a school project? Sorry, I'm not that kind of guy."

"Oh, come on!" Terra suddenly snapped. "Someone's trying to kill us, ok? Can you just listen to us and stop interrupting? I'm sick of it! You know what? Maybe coming here was a MISTAKE."

Tony stared at him. Aqua's eyes widened. Even Ventus looked a little frightened.

"Um... Ok. I'll help you. What's going on?"

Ven stepped forward. "There's a clown out in our town named Pennywise. He's trying to kill us, but more importantly, he will probably try to kill all the kids in the world. We came to you thinking that possibly you could help us fight him off. I know that you'll probably say no, and that you don't want any part in this, but we just came to ask. Please."

For a while, no one said a word. Then Tony spoke up.

"You're right." He said. "I don't want any part in this. I have fans, and people who want me to put on a show for them. But... That's a lot for me right now. I need a break from the world. If this helps me, then I think I can help you."

"Wait, really?" Georgie asked.

"Yeah."

"S-So you believe that we're f-fighting a c-c-clown?" Bill added.

"If I can invent suits that get me to fly, anything's possible."

Georgie smiled. "Thanks, Mr. Stark."

"I needed a break anyways."

"So where should we start?" Aqua asked.

"Let's start by you guys telling me your names."
