Our mission came in over the intercom.

"Eliminate the clowns who are threatening the children." the metallic voice drilled.  They sent a picture over the computer screen:

We all jumped up, ready to end this injustice. Justin hit his head on the ceiling and was knocked out. He collapsed to the ground.

"I'll let the night guy get him" Max explained, "Besides, we don't have time to drive him to the hospital. Just lay him on the bed"

Trenten picked him up and threw him to the couch, which collapsed under his weight.

"To the Duck Cave!" Max wailed, as we all hurdled Justin into the secret room.  We all hopped in the car, and Jared pulled out a calculator and a book.

"If i can just figure out the direct trajectory needed to land in McDonalds, our mission will be a lot easier!" Jared explained.  He scribbled on his page. After 2 minutes of very complicated physics equations, he yelled, "A ramp angled at 37.31 degrees will get us right on target!" Jared slammed the button with his hand, and then roared, "BYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

The rocket boosters on the back lit up and fire flew out the back.  The car skyrocketed into the air. Then the engines died.

"Hold on boys! We're going down!" Jared caterwauled. The car landed straight into the ground and exploded. We were all thrown from the car, like a watermelon from a slingshot.

"We must continue onward!" Maxwell squealed. We all sprinted on.

"A shooting star!" I called. And I made my wish. Suddenly, music started playing. We all floated up in the air for a brief 35 seconds, blasting through the sky. Zak broke the sound barrier, which discombobulated all the Ninjas who were waiting for us when we would sprint by because their eardrums shattered.

"There it is!" Zak called. We all looked foward. There was the magical golden arches in the sky. Suddenly, the music stopped, and we plummeted to the ground.  Suddenly, bullets flew by our head.  A nearby man had pulled out his gun and shot at us. We ignored him and sprinted toward the restaurant. Finally, we arrived.

Yes! I thought, Time to save the idiosyncratic children!

I pulled at the door, but it wouldn't budge. I looked through the glass. Inside were two clowns, dressed as Ronald McDonald. They stared back at me.  They pulled out candlesticks and sprayed the toxic candle wax towards our faces.  Suddenly, Jared lit up.  He started floating in the air, energy pouring out of his pores. All the windows from the restaurant shattered as the wave of energy emitted from him. The clowns were disarmed and Jared floated over to them. He started punching them.

"This... is for everything... you've done to me!" Jared vociferated. Blue and red lights flashed from outside the resaurant. "Its time we leave." Jared grabbed us and flew us home. The last picture I saw as i looked back was this:

"What did they do to you?" Trenten asked.

"Oh, nothing. I saw it in an awesome movie once, and I thought it sounded cool," Jared replied, "But that is besides the point. Men, a new day will come, when darkness will pass.  We continue fighting, and now I understand why.  We have something to hold on to, a small bit of good in this world. Don't let the flame of goodness be covered by the hand of evil. We are the guardians. We must, and we will protect the good, and fight the injustice in the world until it is no more." And with that, Jared flew off into the sunrise, only to be seen again in our direst of needs.
