Chapter 3

    Alright, it's my turn again. It's me Leonard. Miss me? Of course, you did. So, let's back up back to the beginning of the day. Probably around the time Gabriella was waking up, I was on the phone with the superintendent of Ravenswood School of Fine Arts. I had been trying to figure out the secret identity of Helix Double, and I had tracked him to the city of Slowsilver. I was going to go into deep cover with a (mostly) fake name at a popular school and try to figure out if anyone at the school had connections with Helix Double. One weakness of a hero is that they always have someone that they are attached to. A lover, a best friend, a relative, something like that. I already knew he was an alien, so he more than likely had a friend or a lover he was attached to. He was really good at throwing me off his trail. It was a small thread amongst many. What if he was't as young as he looked? Why would he go to some random prestigious academy I just happen apon? Why not public school? This is what doesn't keep me up at night.

    Answer: I had spent many of my years as a villain chasing him, but I finally managed to keep on his trail, and I ended up in Slowsilver City. My lair was in Fenros City, not that far from Slowsilver. If I knew anything about Helix, it was that he likes to show off, so he would go to a very prestigious school. I used my connections, and found Ravenswood Academy. I knew a fellow villain that had went to the school previously, The Conductor, and I asked for his help and got the information I needed. That leads to the begining of this, calling the superintendent just to make sure everything was finalized and I could start school.

    "Uh huh... okay... okay... let me get a pen... okay, I wrote it down... okay... Good!... You have a nice day also!" I said, and hung up. I was good to go. I turned on my TV, and flipped to the news station. The weather forecast was on, and it looked to be a good week.

    "And now to Slowsilver City Square, where there is new development on a new statue," the anchorman said.

    "Thanks Jim. We all know him... we all love him... his name is.... Helix Double! Yes, people, Helix Double. Last week, we found from Helix Double himself that the first city he lived in was Slowsilver.  Amazing! The mayor himself shook hands with Helix Double on that day, and nominated that a statue would be built in Helix Double's honor, here in the city square. Today is the unveiling of the statue, for those who wish to come see it," The reporter said. The station then flipped to a clip of the mayor and Helix shaking hands. I shut off the TV.

    "I spent ALL of this time, and he just gives away his location?!?! AND they built a statue for him!?! No, no, no, no, NO, I will not accept this," I thought, then said, "I have a statue to destroy." I gathered up a Pringle can, some gasoline, and some trinitrotoluene powder. I put my villain costume on, and then grabbed my bag of city clothing. I then grabbed a grappling hook, climbing gear, a pack of my knives, a bookbag of other things I needed, and started heading to Slowsliver Square. I felt like Batman or Spiderman, swinging from the buildings, jumping from roof to roof. It was a short trip, about twenty minutes of swinging like a bullet from place, and I finally made it to the edge of Slowsilver City. I then jumped on the roof of a bus, and rode the rest of the way to the Square. Once I arrived, I switched into the city clothing I brought with, went into the crowd of people surrounding the statue which had a curtain over it, and blended in. The crowd was loud, everyone trying to talk over each other. The mayor came up and tapped on the mic.

    "Quiet down, quiet down. Welcome citizens, to this momentous occasion! I am very proud to unveil this lifelike statue of the hero of Slowsilver City, Helix Double!" He said, and pulled the curtain on the statue, and everyone started clapping. The statue was Helix in a superhero pose (oh boy) with a double helix behind him (why, just why). As people surrounded the statue, every few seconds, I took a handful of the TNT powder, a small amount of water from a bottle I bought, and smeared it on the statue, until I covered most of the bottom of the statue with the powder (the stature was taller than I had planned). I knew that I had to wait for a minute or two for the powder to dry on the statue, so I just stood looking at the statue. People better get a good look, because this statue is about to be history. I then grabbed a lighter, and was about ready to light my Pringle can filled with gasoline (kids, don't do this at home) when I realized I had to clear the civilians. 

    "OH MY GOD, HELIX DOUBLE JUST WENT AROUND THE CORNER OF THAT BUILDING!!" I yelled pointing at a building that was a safe distance away. The entire crowd stampeded toward the building.

    "Huh, that actually worked..." I thought, then lit the long wick I had hanging out of the can.

    "Well, I have about thirty seconds till this blows, soo.... RUN!" I thought, and started booking it. I was three quarters of the way to safety when it blew. It was a decent sized explosion, and when I looked back, the statue was destroyed, all that was left was a smoldering stump. Oh yeah, that's what I wanted, exactly what I wanted. A hawk came from the sky, and transformed into Helix Double.

    "What happened here? What happened? My statue!" Helix said, stunned, looking around. I then went into a dark alley, changed into my Knifeslinger costume.

    "Time for a dramatic entrance, per usual. Do I laugh maniacally and step out from the shadows No, I do that a lot... ohh I know," I thought. I grabbed my phone out of my pocket, connected it to my Bluetooth speaker. I then put it into a place where it would project the music louder, and hit play on my phone. First the entry played, and I watched Helix look around. Then came the lyrics.

    "Welcome to the jungle, we got fun and games, We got everything you want, honey, we know the names, We are the people that can find whatever you may need, If you got the money, honey, we got your disease, In the jungle, welcome to the jungle, Watch it bring you to your shun n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n knees, knees, Ohhh ah, I wanna watch you bleed..." Guns and Roses Welcome to the Jungle blasted in the square, and I stepped out of the shadows, a smile on my face, and my hands out, welcoming Helix, and just showing him that it was me. Yes, I know, Megamind did this sort of thing. I did it better. Deal with it. I then hit pause on my phone.

    "Welcome to the jungle Helix. Like the view? I thought I'd do some remodeling. This statue ruined the view of the square, so it just had to go," I said, and shrugged like it was nothing. It felt like I could hear his blood boiling. Good, I wanted him mad. Easier to deal with, easier for him to make simple mistakes, to lose his guard in an attack.

    "Come on bud. Hit me with your best shot," I said smugly. I saw in his eyes that my taunting had gotten to him. He transformed into a wolf, and came running at me. His attack was quick, but I anticipated his move. I used my grappling hook, hooked it on a balcony, and swung and kicked Helix. He flew into a building, smashing through a glass window. I opened my pouch of knives, carefully selecting my boomerang knives. I threw it a good distance away. Helix than stepped out of the building as a saber tooth cat, with a mighty roar.

    "Oh, fun fun fun, you bring out the cool animal now. Sure, it is extinct, but damn, that cool," I said chuckling. He ran at me, quicker than I anticipated, and tackled me. It was a tangle of fur and fangs, both of us rolling on the ground, me trying to push him off me. I got my feet under him, and used my legs to push him off me. He slashed his paw at me, tearing my costume. I could feel warmness on my chest, and I knew that he had scratched me pretty good. I ran onto the freeway, causing cars to swerve and crash into each other until the cars had jammed up. Helix then transformed into his human form.

    "Give up! You are injured. Let me arrest you, and we can go to a hospital, get you all fixed up, and then you can go peacefully to jail," Helix said to me.

    "What is up with him trying to get me to give up? If I wanted to go to jail, I would be there," I thought.

    "Surrender!" Helix ordered.

    "In your dreams, you big gorilla," I said. He then concentrated, and transformed into a gorilla, and threw a car at me. How ironic, am I right? Then my trusty boomerang knife came flying back, bashing him in the back of the head, angering him more. Well, I believe you know what happens from here. I get dropped kicked, I use my new flaming knives (I'll probably explain how I made those later), and the police start coming so I leave. Let me tell you, I had no clue that Gabby was there, so I had no clue that she videoed the last bit of the fight. Anyway, I left the fight in the opposite direction I wanted to go, and when everything cleared up, I went and grabbed the things I left behind, and went into a public bathroom, and locked the doors. I tended to my wounds, sewing up the gashes on my chest, and got into my city clothing. It didn't hurt much, and most of the simple wounds were disappearing quickly. Give it a few days to a week, and the gashes on my chest would heal up and the scars would disappear completely. I looked at the watch on my arm. Shoot.

    "Looks like I'm going to be late on my first day of school," I said to no one in particular, just speaking aloud. I knew I probably missed my first period, but if I went fast, I could catch the second period. I hurried out of the public restroom, and jumped and swung like mad to Ravenswood Academy. I landed close to the academy, hid all my dangerous gear in a good hiding place, and went to the front door, and slammed the pager. After stating who I was, I was let inside the building. I went to the Student Service Office, made some excuse why I was late, then met with the school counselor. She told me her name, and rambled on and on about the school and how it was a pleasure to have me, and how I must be very special to get into this 'prestigious' school. Well jokes on her I'm not a rich prick with his thumb up his ass. Excuse my language. Anyway, she gave me a tour of the entire school. She took me into different classrooms, explaining what was taught in the class and who the teacher was and so on and so forth. She talked on and on and on, never seaming to finish. I even got to see Gabby enter the school and go to her class. Of course, I did not know her, and she was in such a hurry that I didn't get a chance to get a good look at her.

    "Man, does this counselor love the sound of her voice or something? I'm going to miss the second period, heck, maybe the entire school day if she keeps this up," I thought. Finally, with about fifteen or more minutes to the end of the second period, she brought me to my class. She talked a little about the class (for once), knocked, got a reply, and brought me inside the classroom.

    "Hello Mr. Melsbach. This is your new student, Leonard Arthurson," she said. Ugh, I hate the name Arthurson.
