Over the months of November and December, I have been working with the youth at The Center After School Program in Springfield, Massachusetts and they have created their own short story. I want to say thank you to the Center ~ After School Program for giving me the opportunity to work with some of Springfield, MA best and brightest kids. They have inspired me in such a short time and they have shown me the true power of telling stories by creating one of their own. I am honored and humbled to be in their presence because they are the future and the main reason why I continue to write my stories. Once again, thank you to the kids for everything. Here is their story.
The Invasion of Masquerade
Announcer: Touchdown! K. Blaze scores the winning touchdown and the Little Packers win the championship.
Narrator: The team runs on to the field and pick K. Blaze up and put him on their shoulders. Everyone is cheering. As they celebrate their victory in the championship game, a message is beeping on K. Blaze’s watch phone.
K. Blaze: What’s up Krystal?
Krystal: There is an emergency and I really need your help!
K. Blaze: What’s wrong? Is it serious?
Krystal: A meteor is speeding towards the planet and it doesn’t look good at all.
K. Blaze: Okay, I’ll be right there.
Krystal: Okay, Hurry!
Narrator: As K. Blaze is carried off of the field, he doesn’t even head for the locker room to change. He goes straight to the parking lot and unlocks his bike and rushes down the street towards Krystal’s house. As he reaches the back door, he quickly places his hand on the door scanner. After a few seconds, his identification is accepted and the door opens. He enters and notices Krystal pacing nervously.
K. Blaze: Okay, where is this meteor that you’re talking about?
Krystal: It’s about 5 minutes away from Earth.
K. Blaze: How do you think we can stop it?
Krystal: Let’s look at the computer and see how.
Narrator: K. Blaze looks at the computer and notices a meteor speeding towards Earth. He looks closer and notices that it’s not a meteor but a spaceship and it is carrying someone inside of it.
K. Blaze: Krystal, that’s not a meteor, it’s a spaceship and someone is inside of it.
Krystal: What are you talking about? Let me take a look.
Narrator: After Krystal, the computer screen changes and a face of an evil villain quickly appears.
Masquerade: WATCH OUT! I’m coming to take over Earth!
K. Blaze: Who are you and what do you want with us?
Masquerade: I am Masquerade and I’m coming to wipe out the human race.
Krystal: What did we ever do to you?
Masquerade: Earth’s human race is better than mine so I want to destroy all people so that my race will be the strongest in the universe.
Narrator: The screen goes blank, leaving K. Blaze and Krystal, looking worried. Krystal runs over to another computer to try to figure out how much time they have until the evil Masquerade lands on the planet.
Krystal: We only have two minutes and forty-five seconds left until that evil beast gets here.
K. Blaze: We have to figure out something to stop him.
Krystal: I might have something that will work.
Narrator: Krystal runs over to one to her fashion lab and types in a code, 1-3X-99F-07-SB42-PS83.
K. Blaze: What in the world does that mean?
Krsytal: I found a way to create a super hero suit.
Narrator: Within a few seconds, a rumbling takes place in one of Krystal, lab pods. After the rumbling stops, the door opens. Inside of the pod is a Blue and Red power suit and a silver, power skateboard. It is the exact size as K. Blaze:
K. Blaze: This is awesome! Is that suit for me?
Krystal: Yes, this is a special power suit that will give you some serious super powers to defeat Masquerade.
K. Blaze: This is way too awesome! How does it work?
Krystal: Just put on the clothes and you will find out.
K. Blaze: Okay, I’ll be right back.
Narrator: K. Blaze quickly runs and grabs the power suit and runs into the dressing room. He quickly takes off his football pads and puts on the power suit. After a few seconds, he steps out of the dressing room, wearing the power suit. As he lifts his arms, the suit lights up and the power skate board starts to float off of the ground.
Krystal: The skateboard will help you to float just in case Masquerade knows how to fly.
K. Blaze: So how will I be able to stay on the board?
Krystal: Your power suit will keep you on it. They are linked together with my super code.
K. Blaze: Okay, so do I have any super powers to go with all of this cool stuff?
Krystal: Yes and I have a computer that will give those powers during your battle.
K. Blaze: This is awesome! I can’t wait to try this stuff out.
Narrator: Krystal runs back over to the computer to check the time left until Masquerade lands and also looks to see where he is going to be.
Krystal: He’s going to land in about fifteen seconds. We have to hurry!
K. Blaze: Where is he going to be?
Krystal: It looks like Masquerade is going to land at the skateboard park. We only have about ten seconds left.
K. Blaze: Okay, I’m gone!
Narrator: Krystal and K. Blaze run out of her lab. K. Blaze jumps onto his power skateboard and shoots off towards the skateboard park. Krystal jumps on her speed bike and follows closely behind. The both are ready to face this evil villain. As soon as they arrive at the skateboard park, Krystal notices the sky quickly turning dark.
Krystal: K. Blaze, look up into the sky!
K. Blaze: Whoa! Why is it getting so dark?
Krystal: Masquerade is turning everything black. He’s ready to attack our planet.
K. Blaze: Okay then. I’m ready to face him.
Narrator: K. Blaze raises his hands, making his power suit light up again. His body is filled with a huge amount of energy. Krystal pushes a button on her bike, making it turn into a miniature computer, so that she can help increase K. Blazes power through the battle:
Krystal: Your suit is now powered up and ready to go.
K. Blaze: LET’S GET IT ON!
Narrator: Within seconds, Masquerade’s spaceship breaks through the clouds and lands right next to the skateboard park. The doors quickly open and out steps the evil villain.
Masquerade: Hello you disgusting aliens, it is time for you all to meet your doom!
K. Blaze: Who do you think you are? I’m going to destroy you before you ever get a chance to take over our planet.
Masquerade: Seriously? You destroy me? Ha, ha, ha ha! You’re so puny that I’m going to crush you like a bug!
K. Blaze: You’ll have to catch me first!
Masquerade: You think that you can outrun me? There is no way that will ever happen.
Krystal: I can power him up more than you can think of. My power suit is unbeatable.
Masquerade: Ha, ha, ha, ha! Let’s go! You both will lose!
K. Blaze: BRING IT THEN!
Narrator: Before K. Blaze could say another word, Masquerade charged towards him. Krystal quickly pushes a button on her computer, making K. Blaze jump over the charging Villain with is power skateboard.
K. Blaze: Whoa! You missed! There is now way that you will defeat us.
Krystal: I told you so. My technology can’t be defeated.
Masquerade: YOU’RE GOING TO PAY FOR THIS!
K. Blaze: Are you serious? You will never touch me!
Masquerade: Get ready to face my wrath!
K. Blaze: You will not defeat me!
Narrator: As K. Blaze floated back towards the skateboard park, he quickly starts to skate around the course, towards Masquerade. Without hesitation, Masquerade shoots his laser beams towards K. Blaze. As he does, Krystal puts a protective armor around K. Blaze’s power suit. K. Blaze dodges the laser beams as he get’s closer.
Masquerade: That was just a taste of my powers. I’m not even trying.
Krystal: Well watch this! Talk all you want but you are no match for us.
Masquerade: Little girl, you better watch your mouth!
K. Blaze: Don’t you talk to my friend like that! I’ll give you and that ugly face a fat lip if you say another word.
Masquerade: I can talk to you disgusting humans any way that I want. You are nothing to me.
K. Blaze: Let’s see about that!
Narrator: K. Blaze is just a few feet away from the evil villain. Masquerade jumps into the sky to avoid him and floats over towards Krystal. As he does, he shoots a laser beam at her computer, making it explode.
K. Blaze (Screams): NOOOOO!
KABOOM!
Narrator: Krystal’s computer explodes into millions of pieces.
Krystal: Oh no! My computer! The power suit can’t work now!
K. Blaze: My suit! My powers are gone! What am I going to do now!
Krystal: I have to try and figure something out. Try to distract him if you can.
Masquerade: What a shame. My next move is going to turn you into space dust.
Narrator: Masquerade quickly turns to K. Blaze and notices that his power suit’s light has gone out. He quickly rushes towards K. Blaze as he skates away from him. Krystal quickly pulls out her cell phone and takes it a part. She works with the pieces as she watches K. Blaze avoid the evil villain.
Krystal: Keep him away from you! I’m working on it as fast as I can.
K. Blaze: Hurry up! He’s getting way to close.
Krystal: I think that I almost got it.
K. Blaze: I hope that it works! This is really bad Krystal.
Masquerade: Fools! My life form is stronger than yours and it’s time that I prove it. You both will lose this battle!
Narrator: As Masquerade notices that K. Blaze is still too fast to catch, he tries his best to blow up his skateboard. K. Blaze jumps over the skateboard parks obstacle’s and avoids the evil villain’s attacks. Krystal is working as fast as she can to put together a small computer to boost K. Blaze’s power before it’s too late. Just as Masquerade shoots one last blast, Krystal stands up and shouts:
Krystal: I GOT IT!
K. Blaze: OH YEAH! My powers are back!
Krystal: Let’s attack him now!
Narrator: Krystal pushes a button and the light on K. Blaze’s suit reappears. He quickly blocks Masquerade’s blasts as he lands on one to the skateboard ramps.
K. Blaze: Man that was weak!
Masquerade: I didn’t put everything into that blast.
K. Blaze: You should have tried harder because your time is up.
Masquerade: Now it is time for you to be defeated, you puny humans!
Narrator: K. Blaze jumps back onto his skateboard and shoots towards Masquerade as fast as he can. Without knowing what to do, Masquerade is quickly punched in his stomach by a powerful punch.
BANG.
Narrator: The punch knocks him out of the sky, right into the middle of the skate park.
K. Blaze: What are you going to say now? Who’s puny now?
Masquerade: YOU’RE GOING TO PAY FOR DOING THAT TO ME!
K. Blaze: It’s time for me to finish this.
Krystal: Then let’s finish him the right way. I’m done with this beast!
Narrator: K. Blaze quickly attacks Masquerade. As he gets closer, Krystal makes two rocket launchers appear on K. Blaze’s power suit. He quickly shoots them at Maquerade.
KABOOM! KABOOM! KABOOM! KABOOM!
Narrator: The ground around Masquerade explodes, shooting him high into the sky.
Krystal: O.M.G.! You got him!
K. Blaze: He’s done! This battle is over!
Narrator: Within a few seconds, Masquerade lands back on the ground. He quickly crawls back into his spaceship.
Masquerade: I’ll be back, you disgusting humans. Next time won’t be so easy. I will be stronger.
K. Blaze: Then we will see you soon and we will be ready.
Krystal: Leave now, you puny alien. You are no match for us.
Masquerade: THIS IS NOT OVER! I’LL BE BACK! I WILL BE BACK!
Narrator: The doors close to the spaceship and quickly shoots off of the planet back into outer space.
Krystal: You did it K. Blaze. You defeated Masquerade.
K. Blaze: No, we did it Krystal. We did it together.
Narrator: They both shake hands and head back to the lab, happy that they both just saved the planet from the evil Masquerade. Earth is safe…for now.
