I was at the park with my friends Jeffrey, Nick, and Blake. Jeff's family was also at the park hanging out with us. Jeff was playing guitar while me, Nick, and Blake played basketball. I was by myself and they were together. My brain was coming up with ways to score baskets. I did something I was never able to do even when I was a superhero, I was doing acrobatics, perfect acrobatics. I stepped onto Blakes shoulders to slam dunk the ball.
"Ian, how did you do that?" Nick asked. "Brian Crave made me be able to use more than ten percent of my brain." I said. I looked into the woods to see another me. I rubbed my eyes and I was still in the woods. My brain was telling me to spawn a clone. I had no idea what that even meant. I then looked somewhere and immediately thought of a clone spawning there. A clone appeared and I didn't know what to make of it.
Jeffrey looked up from his guitar to see a black Jeep pull up. I looked and saw the window rolling down. It was Tony Mondollo holding an uzi which was aimed at Jeffrey's family. "Get down!" I screamed. Mondollo open fired and I started to barrel roll out of the way. Me, Nick, and Blake were all fine, but Jeffrey was bleeding out and his whole family was dead. Jeffrey's dad did owe Mondollo money for some unknown reason, so I understood why he shot them all.
Nick called nine one one and I put the hoodie I was wearing up. "I'm going to kill him." I said. I got on my bike that I rode to the park, and biked after the car. I caught up to the car and jumped on the top. I spawned a clone on the windshield, and made it break the windshield and kill the driver. Mondollo couldn't see who I was and I was safe. The car started to roll over and I jumped off of it into the grass.
People witnessed this and recorded it. They just witnessed a man who can make more of himself and do a bunch of cool stuff. Mondollo crawled out of his car and I felt like attacking him. I heard sirens and knowing Mondollo, the police would take his side. I ran all the way back to my bike and rode away to my house.
I found out a little later that Jeffrey went into a coma and I made the news. "A man wearing a hoodie attacked wealthy philanthropist Tony Mondollo today, and there were more who look just like him. This leaves Harbor City wondering, who is this man?" The news lady asked. "Ian, what did Brian do to you?" My dad asked. "He didn't just increase my brain percentage, he gave me the power to duplicate myself." I said. "This is a gift Ian, you need to use it for good." My dad said.
He was right, there is always crime in Harbor City and someone needed to do something, and I was going to be the face that evil fears. "Ok Dad, it's about time I got back in the game." I said. I walked to my room and pressed the intercom. "Please say the password." The computer said. "Future" I said. "Welcome Ian Comstock." The computer said. A hole in the wall opened to reveal and elevator. I took the elevator all the way down to my bunker.
The bunker use to be my hideout from the bad guys and it was about to be again. There was a super computer I had down there that could make weapons and my costume for me. I made my armor out of kevlar and titanium, I put dual pistols as my symbol on my chest to protect my organs, and I made it black and red. It was mostly black and a red streak that goes down the middle of it with smaller red lines going diagonally down the suit which formed an x.
I made two pistols that can fit in the pockets I installed on the suit. My mask was also made out of kevlar and titanium, and it was black with a red streak and white eye holes. I also made a wall of weapons I would use to protect the city. It was time to show the world the new me, so I put on the suit and went outside into the dark streets.
I had a radio installed in my mask for listening into conversations and other police radios. "We've got three guys destroying a liquor store." The police radio said. It was Mondollo men destroying a liquor store because the owner didn't cough up the protection money. It was time those guys got a look at me.
I went to the liquor store and I saw three guys running down an alleyway towards a car. I used my grappling gun to go onto a building and jump onto their car. "What the fuck!" One of the men yelled. I had a voice changer to deepen and make my voice scarier. "You guys shouldn't be doing that." I said. "Who's going to make us stop, the police?" One of the guys asked. All the men started to laugh at this. "Me and my clones." I said. I spawned a clone next to one of the guys and threw him against the car. I shot another one and spawned another clone to beat up the guys.
Both of my clones made the guys bleed from their faces. "Mondollo is going to kill you for this." One the guys said. I jumped off the car and shot the one who didn't say anything. "He's going to be afraid of me after I send him this message." I said. "What message?" He asked. I pulled out a knife and stabbed the guy multiple times. I then carved the name Mondollo into his stomach.
A police officer came around the corner and aimed his gun at me. "Freeze dirtbag." He said. I put my hands behind my head. "I just made your job easier, and this is how you repay me." I said. I spawned eight clones in my vicinity and used my grappling gun to escape.  He was confused and I managed to get away. After that night, I was back in the game, and I felt more alive than ever.
