            Brett Vaughn was attempting to enrich student’s lives on a sunny Monday morning. As he was droning on about the importance of nothing, Ben Hogue barged into the room with news.

            “I have news!” Ben hollered.

            Vaughn stopped what he was doing and started chanting the word news.

            “Quickly, we need to get to the Bio Lair! I’ll tell you the news when on the way!”

            Ben and Vaughn began to run as fast as they could to the Bio Lair. Twenty feet later Vaughn had his hands on his knees and was gasping for breath.

            “Just put your arms over your head. Breath in through your nose, out through your mouth. You can do this you got it.”

            Vaughn held one finger up, “Just-one-second.” He said still gasping for breath. One second later Ben and Vaughn were on their way once again.

            “The news is that something is going on with the Night Spektors! They called an emergency meeting and I guess something really bad is happening.”

            “OH NO!”

            They made it to the Biology room and casually walked in. The looked at Baker and gave him The Nod. He returned The Nod and pressed the red emergency stop button. Ben and Vaughn strolled in to the Man Cave, and then through the secret closet opened by the emergency stop button and into the Bio Lair.

            The glare of awesome shone into their eyes as they entered their familiar abode. They were in the Bio Lair. As their eyes adjusted to the light they could see everyone running amuck. Ben and Vaughn clocked in then started to look for someone who could tell them what was going on.

            Their search ended when an announcement came over the speakers. “Members of the Night Spektors,” everyone was listening, but were continuing on doing what they were doing before the announcement began, “our operation here, and we, are in grave danger. There is a villain known only as the Time Waster wrecking havoc!” Ben’s head began to throb, Time Waster sounded so familiar but he just couldn’t figure out who it was. “Our Chief, The Sundling, our Houser of Information and Knowledge, has been captured.” There were gasps and cries of outrage. “We need to immediately fill his position to ensure our order. We need all the heroes with the lamest superpower to step forward.”

            The announcer paused as superheroes began to step forward. Ben took this time to look around at his fellow friends and superheroes. Jenny, also known as The Creeper, was using her power of invisibility to become invisible and visible again out of nerves. Ben noticed her staring at Macho Man and hoped she wasn’t also using her ability of x-ray. Ben then glanced at Seth who was using his moustache growing power to switch between a handlebar stache and the curly-cue, Seth was Mustachio. All of a sudden Pat began to run circles around Ben. Pat was The Cheetah and could run lightning fast. Then the never ending fighting feud between Bessler, Lumberjack Man, and Baker, The Lone Wolf, erupted once again. Ben was intrigued until one of Baker’s claws struck Bessler and a fight about the rules of their fighting began. Ben’s attention was then drawn to Gabby and Liz. They were talking to each other at lightning speed and no one could understand what they were saying. Gabby’s ability to fly and swim dubbed her with the alias of Aquawing Girl. Liz, like Ben had every super power, but she was even better than him because she had a secret power that Ben didn’t possess. Liz was known as Miracle Woman. Ben’s attention was once again focused in on Macho Man, who was really Dan. Dan was making his bed to get ready for sleep. Dan’s power was the ability to sleep for only two hours and be completely rested. These powers were bestowed upon him so he could get a lot of things done. This is also the reasoning behind his position of secretary for the Night Spektors. Ben glanced in Ashley’s direction. Her super power was identity theft, which made her the sole source of income and treasurer. At that moment Ben took time to reflect on the great, admirable, Sundling. The Sundling was the Holder of Knowledge and had been the Chief since the beginning of the Night Spektors. With him gone the organization was sure to fail. All of a sudden, and as usual, Vaughn whispered something unintelligent in Ben’s ear. “I think I’m going to try and be Chief so I can make a casual Friday.” “Vaughn! We don’t even have a dress code!” “Oh.” Vaughn was known as Dunce Boy and he didn’t have a power because he was just a lowly sidekick.

            Ben focused once again on the superheroes moving towards the front of the room in hopes of becoming the stand in Chief. There were three superheroes vying for the stand in Chief position, Seth, Dan and Pat.

            “Once again I need your attention!” said the announcer, “We have The Mustachio, Macho Man, and The Cheetah. Will everyone close your eyes and raise your hand when I say the name of the person you want to hold the position of stand in Chief. Mustachio… Macho Man… The Cheetah…. All right everyone can open their eyes. The winner and your stand in Chief is… MOUSTACHIO!” A wave of applause rang out over the Night Spektors. “You can all be excused now. Thank you.”
