DAWN OF A SUPERHUMAN

Penguin City Street - Alice's House - Day

"This egg stew tastes great Alice....what secret ingredients did you add to it this time?" Ruby asked as she gobbled up the delicious egg stew in front of her and devoured the poor bread. Shd ate as if she hadn't eaten for a decade.

Alice watched as she ate, she ate like an hulk and she was apparently disgusted. Ruby's ability demanded that she ate a lot as the stone in her kept absorbing all the nutrients in her food when she activated her abilities.

"Ruby.." Alice called.

"Ughm...whasht" she replied and gobbled up a spoon of egg stew and bread 

"You've been acting strangely these days....." Alice continued 

Ruby paused for a moment and dropped the spoon, she knew she was over eating.

"What do you mean by acting strangely?" Ruby asked curiously.

"You seem nicer.....love my food...you don't grunt and rant..... you're looking more beautiful, smarter and mature" Alice commented.

"Woah 😳....was it that obvious?" Ruby whispered within herself.

"Well....I love your new ways Ruby. I don't care why you're doing this or who told you to change your silly ways.....keep it up. Be responsible. Just know that you can confide in me okay....if you have issues you can trust me with them...like a real mom....you hear me?" Alice confidently said.

"Like a real mom?" Ruby asked.

"Like a real mom" Alice replied with a smile.

Ruby stood up, grabbed her bag and approached the door without saying a single word.

"Uhhh Ruby" Alice called.

Ruby turned around.

"I will be home late today...I'm going on a date 🌹☺️" Alice announced with a beautiful smile.

Ruby paused in excitement and surprise 😲✨😅. She didn't expect to hear that.

"Is he handsome?" Ruby asked

"You bet he is" Alice replied 

"Looks like you're not so old afterall" Ruby commented with a hard laugh 🤣 and walked towards the entrance. She opened the door and was about to leave when Alice called her again.

"Ruby!" Alice yelled.

Ruby turned around again 

"It's Cinnamon....you asked me what I added to the egg stew....it's Cinnamon." Alice concluded. 

Ruby nodded with a smile and dashed to school.

Penguin City - Book Worms High School - Day 

Alice walked into the hallway and straight for her locker. She opened it and grabbed her academic books. She was about to leave when she noticed something on the mirror. Her short hair had started growing slowly. She touched it and smiled.

"Thank you Nuclear Soda" she whispered in her thought and slammed her locker shut.

She saw Moses and Sabrina approaching her behaving like spies in a secret agent movie.

"Target acquired" Moses whispered into a plastic bottle which he was obviously seeing as a radio in his imagination.

"Take the shot!" Sabrina yelled.

Moses made a gun hand gesture and shot Ruby imaginally. Ruby sighed in exhaustion. She stood still staring at the two of them performing their nonsense and waited for them to finish. Moses tapped Ruby in frustration.

"What's up with you..... normally once I shoot you , you always play your role by falling to the ground." Moses said blatantly.

"This whole play is no longer funny. I've got the fate of our city in my hands....why should I waste my time on silly plays?" Ruby asked

"Silly plays.... we're training you 😅" Sabrina replied.

"Whatever let's get to class" Ruby left their midst and proceeded to class leaving her two friends behind.

Moses and Sabrina stood there and watched Ruby walk away till she was out of sight

"Something's definitely up with her." Moses whispered at Sabrina.

"Definitely 😌" 

=============================================

Penguin City - Penguin Bank.

The fences of Penguin Bank stood strong in silence for some seconds BOOM!!! a military tank busts through the wall smashing it to pieces as it rammed into the streets. 

It appeared that a group of hoodlums had stolen a military tank and used it to rob a bank. 

INSIDE THE TANK.

They were four in the tank, two were at the driver's seat while two were at the far back counting money.

"We are so so rich Kong" One of the robbers screamed the top of his voice. 

"I'mma buy my mom ten islands Batista" Kong replied with a menacing laugh as he drove the tank restlessly.

About five police cars appeared behind the tanks. It was one hell of a brutal chase.

James and Kendrick were in the car at the front leading the chase. They were both wore their combat armor and were ready and determined to catch those pesky robbers.

Unknown to them, Batista had opened the hatch of the tank. He appeared to be holding a rocket launcher.

"Eat Uranium loooooosers....hahahahahahahaha" Batista grunted menacingly 

BOOM! He shot one badass rocket at the incoming police cars. James and Kendrick's car to be precise.

"Holy mother!!!!" James muttered in fear 😨.

James and Kendricks on seeing this opened the door and leaped out of their cars seconds before the freaking bazooka made impact. All the police cars were bombed to bits by a single rocket from a rocket launcher. Turned out that the rocket launcher's shell had more uranium than a mini missile. It was powerful.

James wouldn't give up. He charged at the tank at amazing speed and leaped into the air like a superhuman, the police armor gave him an extra boost which helped him to land on the tank safely.

Before Batista could reload his rocket launcher, James kicked the rocket launcher out of his hands and a fist fight ensued on the roof of the tank between Policeman James and Criminal Batista. 

Kong swerved to the making the two fighters above loose balance. They fell into a nearby ditch. James proceeded to punch Batista till he fell unconscious. One thing was certain, at the rate things were going, the criminals were going to escape.

======================================================

Book Worms Highschool

Back at the book worms highschool, it was break time and Ruby was with Sabrina and Moses enjoying lunch. While they were eating, a news popped up the screens of cafeteria's plasma TV.

News Reporter: The recent robbery incident at penguin bank has escalated to national level as the police of Penguin City are unable to bring things to order. The brutal terrorists have a military class G-Gundam tank and God knows what they are going to do next with this destroyer.

"Did you hear that!....." Ruby exclamated

"Yeah a robbery..." Moses replied.

"I could help...."Ruby said confidently.

"Your first.....crime fight" Sabrina commented.

"Cover for me guys....in case I come late, if Mrs Nueller asks, tell her I went to the bathroom" Ruby said as shs dashes out of the cafeteria towards the school roof. She climbed stair to stair relentlessly till she reached the top of the school building. She paused for a moment and took a deep breath.

"Okay....here goes nothing 😌" she muttered as she ran and took a leap off the building. Her black armor came on her almost instantly in a bright flash of light and off she went flying at amazing speed towards the crime sight.

Was she ready?
