Mystery Hero
It was approximately 2:56 p.m. when Reynaldo was walking home by himself while listening to his iPod Touch that his parents had just got him.
“Darn it, this battery does not last long enough. It died again!” exclaimed Reynaldo.
As he was putting his dead iPod Touch back in his pocket, Edgar, the Bennett Middle School bully, observed Reynaldo from across the street which Reynaldo thought looked suspicious. Reynaldo began to power-walk home so that he could be safer inside his house before Edgar tried to do anything to him, again.
Reynaldo approached his front door and Edgar was still observing each move Reynaldo made as if he were studying Reynaldo in order to plan an attack to bully him once again.
The school-bully thought to himself, “Tomorrow, my friend, you’ll be my victim once again and your iTouch will soon say good-bye to you as well.”
Why did Edgar have to be so cold-hearted, aggressive, and mean as well as ugly. His insecurities most likely turned him into such a bully.
Edgar was at home that evening planning his evil scheme.
“I’m gonna ask Turtle and Popeye to accompany me even though it’ll be as easy as taking candy from a baby,” Edgar said.
“Poor lil boy doesn’t know what’s in store for him tomorrow after school,” said Edgar along with his squeaky evil laugh.
While the bully was brainstorming ideas for his new evil plan, Reynaldo was charging his iPod Touch so that it could be charged enough for his walk from school to his house the following day. What he didn’t know was that Edgar had been observing each of his steps because he wanted to take his new iPod Touch from him. His iPod meant everything to Reynaldo. He took care of his iPod Touch as if it were his own life and what he depended upon. Reynaldo’s iPod was his own best friend. He could play games on it, surf the internet, listen to it, text his buddies, use different apps, and it was what he spent his savings by buying iTunes credit.
While Reynaldo slept comfortably that night, Edgar was awaiting the school dismissal for the next day with great anxiety since he was extremely confident that his plans would go as planned.
The moment Edgar and his little group had been awaiting finally came. Reynaldo following his normal routine, grabs his backpack, puts on his earphones, and begins to walk home. Edgar was stalking behind Reynaldo with Turtle and Popeye by his side, just waiting for the right moment to put into full effect his evil plan. When the moment came, the little master plan of Edgar’s came into effect.
Edgar jumped in front of Reynaldo when he distracted himself a little.
“Hahaha! Look at this nerd, let’s take his backpack away!”
He threw Reynaldo’s backpack to Popeye and Turtle to go through it in search of items. Reynaldo for the first time ever finally decided to speak out.
Reynaldo said, “Hey! Who are you to go through my belongings, that’s not your, give it back!”
Popeye puts Reynaldo’s iPod Touch in his pocket, while Turtle grabbed Reynaldo’s Gameboy Advance SP.
Then suddenly Edgar yells, “Run guys!”
Reynaldo ran to his house to tell his mother who he thought would care.
“Not now son, I have a lot to do!” exclaimed his mother.
Then Reynaldo decided to ask his father if he could help, but was also disappointed to hear what he said.
His father said, “Sorry son. I can’t help I have to work on my innovations, but ask your brother if he assist you in whatever it is that you need.”
He was so upset but had no other choice but to ask his older brother, Diego, for advice. Diego heard Reynaldo’s story and just laughed.
“Haha! Loser! That’s what you get for being so vulnerable! Ha!” shouted Diego in laughter.
Reynaldo questioned, “Why are you being so mean brother?”
“I thought you would be able to help me for once in your life, but I guess not!” cried Reynaldo.
Reynaldo walks away in great disappointment to his room. Diego felt guilty for not helping his little brother and making fun of him. So diego walks up to Reynaldo’s room and says,
“Okay… I’ll help you!”
Reynaldo jumped up full of joy. The truth was that Diego was Captain Blue Cape. He couldn’t resist helping out his little brother.
The next day as Edgar was walking with Popeye and Turtle away from school, Captain Blue Cape appeared out of nowhere in front of them. The crooks stood there stunned and scared not knowing what to do or what was going on. Edgar trying to be tough asks,
“Who are you, dude?”
Captain Blue Cape says, “I’m the voice of those can’t defend themselves from thieves like you boys. I fight for what’s right, which in this case is returning others their belongings!”
Edgar tried to show off his bully skills and pushes Captain Blue Cape, but with greater speed Captain Blue Cape reacts and captures all three thieves with a rope in a blink of an eye. Captain Blue Cape retrieves his brother’s belongings with such ease. Captain Blue Cape says to those bullies and thieves,
“This was as easy as taking candy from three little boys. Don’t let it happen again because it’ll be even harsher for you boys next time. So, stay away from Reynaldo or else you’ll mess with me again!”
He warned them to not bully Reynaldo again and they sure didn’t. Each time they would see Reynaldo at school they wouldn’t dare talk to him or look him in the eye. Reynaldo was like their bully without trying to be a bully. That was Reynaldo’s dream come true. He didn’t know how his brother had done it, but he told his brother he had done too great of a job.
