"Are you ready to take down Mondollo Ian?" Crippler asked. "You know I am, but you should call me by my hero name." I said. "Ok Kid Vigilante." Mondollo was buying a shipment of guns at the docks, and that's where this was going down. Tony Mondollo ran a crime organization in Harbor City for about twenty years and no one had done anything except me and Crippler.
I was born into a family of superheroes so I was always taught to do right, even if it didn't seem like it. Of course I was the unlucky one with no powers. That didn't stop me from becoming a superhero though. Ever since I could walk, I trained like a hero and when I was seven, I met Mike Lee, the man known as Crippler. He had the power to paralyze people so they couldn't get back up for a short period of time.
He took me under his wing and ever since, I've been Kid Vigilante. Until the day we went after Mondollo. The ship arrived and a black SUV pulled up. Mondollo got out the SUV and the guys on the ship started to load the guns into the trunk of the SUV.
"What do we do when we see guns Kid Vigilante?" Crippler asked. "Go in with stealth and take them out." I said. There were at least ten guys including Mondollo. "I don't have all day, get these guns into the car now." Mondollo yelled.
Me and Crippler took out two guys while he said this. I made my way over and knocked out another. Mondollo noticed this and and screamed at his men. "There's seven of you guys, get him." Mondollo screamed. The men started to shoot and Crippler shot a burst of light out of the palm of his hand to paralyze six of them for a little bit. He and Mondollo started to fight while I fought off another guard.
I broke the guys wrist and he fell to the ground. I heard a gunshot and looked where the sound came from. Crippler fell to the ground and I was upset. I ran up to him and bent down over him. "No, no, no" I said. Crippler had no pulse and I began to cry.
Mondollo's men got up and surrounded me. "Kill the kid and let's get home." Mondollo said. A guard pointed a gun at my head. I felt rage like I never had before, and something snapped. "This isn't personal kid, just business." Mondollo said. I grabbed and broke the guys arm. "You made it personal." I said. I took the gun that was about to kill me, and shot the guard in his face.
  "He doesn't kill, why is he killing?" Mondollo asked. The other men aimed their guns at me, and I killed all of them. Mondollo got in the car and drove off, not even worrying about his guns. That was my biggest regret, not killing him first. I looked at the gun I was holding and back at Crippler. I failed him, not just because I didn't save him, but because I did something he never told me to do, kill someone.
I heard police sirens in the distance and I got out of there. Vigilantism is already a crime, I wasn't about to get arrested for murder either. That was the day I stopped being Kid Vigilante.
