THIS is the story of the Elite, a group of heroes unlike the others. But to start things off, I'll need to tell you this.

The Elite was a group of heroes, SUPER heroes. The three founding members were Rick Bryceson, Mario Lincoln, and Lauren Jones. Rick was the school's main body-builder who thought it would be cool to become a costumed hero. Mario was the rich kid with enough brain to put the entire chess club to shame. He thought he could put his intellect and resources to the test by fighting crime. And Lauren was the school's soccer player who Mario always had a crush on, but was oblivious to it. Mario presented the idea and she liked it. The three then found each other and agreed to make a team.

After some months, the three finished their costumes. Rick donned an orange suit with a blue cape, becoming Super Bryce. Mario had an angry Pikachu mask and a green tunic, naming himself Game Boy. Lauren had a simple black mask, a pair of jeans and a black shirt, calling herself Sport Girl.

At first, their careers as costumed vigilantes was a flop because no one really took them seriously, becoming a laughing stock and they never really stopped many crimes. However, for reasons unknown, they became more popular.

Their group was joined by Leo Panthro, who donned a costume that resembled the king of the beasts. He called himself Lion Man. Also joining was Austin Geppet who donned a wooden costume and called himself Puppet Man, Mei Mu (who Rick always had a crush on) who was caught in a lab accident which caused her body to be in a semi-amorphous state called herself Gooey Girl, Bapoto who was blessed and cursed to change into the gorilla protector of his tribe (Zuberi) called himself Silver Back, and Game Boy created a hacking program to help them which he christened Virus Man.

This group continued their swashbuckling and crime fighting. Until, one day, Puppet man was severly injured during a resuce mission.

"Keep this thing supported!" Super Bryce shouted as he pulled people out of a bungee ride that was ready to snap.

"We're doing the best we can, SB!" Puppet Man groaned as he and Gooey Girl kept the ride suspended with strings and goo.

"It'll hold!" Game Boy said, "I've calculated this a dozen times! We'll all be fine!"

"For our sake, Game, I hope you're right!" Gooey Girl groaned.

"This would be SO much easier if Silver Back was helping us!" Puppet Man said, grumpily.

"I am helping out the passengers." Silver Back snorted, in the form of Zuberi, and with three people in his arms.

"And Sport Girl and Lion Man are keeping the crowds under control." Gooey Girl added.

"Everyone try and remain calm!" Lion Man shouted to the crowd.

"It's gonna be alright!" Sport Girl called, too.

Super Bryce and Game Boy got the two remaining people. Game Boy swung around and deposited his person onto the ladder before descending down himself. Super Bryce put his person down.

"THAT'S EVERYONE!" SB shouted to Gooey Girl and Puppet Man.

"Thank God." Puppet Man said, "My arms were cramping!"

Something moved behind Puppet Man. The puppet-esque hero glanced around and saw something.

"Who the heck are..."

Puppet Man never finished his sentence because he found himself beind shoved off the ledge with Gooey Girl following him. The two fell on the ground witha dull THUD and a wet SPLAT. Gooey Girl was splattered into her semi-amorphous state. She quickly reassembled herself when she saw that the ride was falling after them!

"Crap!" she cursed as she stretched over to Puppet Man to act as a shield, but she didn't have enough time to solidify. The full weight of the ride crashed down on her and Puppet Man!

"NO!" Super Bryce screamed as he jumped down, "SILVER BACK!"

Super Bryce and Silver Back, the two strongest members heaved at the ride. It shifted mostly due to Silver Back's gorilla strength, but Super Bryce was anxious. They saw the two vigilantes laying in a heap. Gooey Girl's body steadily reassembled, but she was barely conscious. Puppet Man's costume, however, was blood-stained and his limbs were bent out of shape.

"GAME BOY!" Super Bryce shouted, "GET SOME HELP!"

"Y-yes." Game Boy stammered, darting away.

"Men down, we're gonna need an ambulance right away." SB said to Sport Girl and Lion Man.

"Roger." Lion Man and Sport Girl said in unison.

"Don't worry, Mei." SB said, feeling Gooey Girl's neck, "You'll be okay."

He pulled Puppet Man's mask off and noticed that he wasn't breathing.

"Austin!" SB shouted, performing CPR and doing chest compression, "Don't die! WE'RE PARTNERS!"
