FOREWORD FROM EMMA HULME
year 5
Gavin Millett One day, Johnny went downstairs to have some breakfast. Johnny lived in a secret base in California.“Yum, yum, yum!” Johnny said happily as he ate his breakfast. When Johnny went to bed, a burglar broke in, came into Johnny’s room and poured some superpower juice into his mouth. The next morning, Johnny woke up and felt like something had happened. Finally, he realised he had developed invisibility, teleportation, shape-shifting, force, and super speed. Johnny was shocked. The next he knew, he was a lion. Then he changed back, and he was lifting a brick up with force. Johnny knew what to call himself: Lycanshang. Lycanshang heard screaming. He used his super speed. There was Rhino, robbing the bank. Lycanshang and Rhino had a fight. Rhino was going to punch Lycanshang but he teleported to the other side, shapeshifted into a fly, went down Rhino’s ear and kept on punching his brain. Rhino was down. Everyone was cheering. Lycanshang was really happy. The end.
Lexi Van Der Laan Once upon a time, there was a girl called Pery Kitty Girl, and that girl was me! One day, I woke up at 7:26, got dressed, and went to McDonald’s to get a double sausage burger, tea, and hash brown. I was coming out of McDonald’s, when I saw a robber trying to steal an elderly lady’s bag. So me and the robber had a fight. “BASH!” “BANG!” “BASH!” “BANG!” When I gave the lady’s bag back, she said, “Thank you. Oh, thank you!” Then she said, “I would like to adopt you.” and I said, “YES!” Then I saw Batman and we fell in love. Then my new mum saw Superman and adopted him. Then me and Batman got married and had a child called Baby Kitty Girl. The End.

Anelle-Rose McDonald One unlucky day, Riley woke up late for school and had to skip breakfast because she was extremely worried in case she wasn’t in school on time. Her first lesson was history with Miss Wort. She was 64 years old and still wasn’t married! That’s probably because she is boring, strict, and has no friends. A few minutes passed and Riley finally made it into school. Trembling, scared, and worried, she walked into class, still without an excuse. After a long ten minutes of making up excuses to Miss Wort, she sat down. Every word that came out of Miss Wort’s mouth was making Riley more and more bored. Nobody liked history! All Miss Wort wrote on the board was facts, facts, and more facts! The whole class got out their pencils but Riley dropped hers and banged her head on the hard, wooden desk. Amy, Maddie and Sasha laughed at her, like usual! They bullied Riley all the time and it made her really upset! A long day passed. Home time was only ten minutes away. That was Riley’s Riley favourite time of her day because nobody laughed at her as they were running off to dance or gym, but, most of all, because she got to go home! Slowly, Riley walked home but then she spotted Sasha crying. She hesitated, and then walked over. “What’s wrong?” she asked, as the thunder boomed and the clouds turned grey. “Errrrrm, I-I-I’m scared of lightning, that’s all!” Sasha replied. “And I need to get home!” Riley felt sorry for the poor girl and wanted to help. So she said, “I’ll take you-u-u home then” with a sound of hesitance in her voice. “O-ok!” So they started walking. Just as they walked across Evington Drive, a strike of lightning clapped and flashed in Sasha’s direction. In the nick of time Riley jumped in the way and saved her!!!

David Lowe In the cinema, there was a boy called Kyle Smith, who was watching Batman. When it finished, he went home and packed his stuff to go to the beach. When he got to the beach, he changed into his swimming trunks and swam in the sea. When he took a dive, he saw something shiny in the sea. So he swam down and grabbed it. Then he noticed his feet were slowly turning into flippers. Next, he noticed he could breathe under water! Then, in school, as he was learning about planners, he began to float! Incredibly, when he was reading about snakes, he morphed into one!

Amelia Boyle One day, I was walking home from school and my bag was so heavy I thought, “I can’t remember having this much homework”. As I got home, I shouted to my mum, “Just going to get changed!” but what I was really going to do was check out what was making my bag so heavy! What I found was not normal. It was a green pot of gel. It said nothing. I didn’t know what to do. Curiosity got the better of me: I opened the gel and it looked toxic. It was bright green. I rubbed some on my hand. I felt a slight burn and then it soothed. I thought “This is probably a prank.” I said to myself, “I’ll just go downstairs and grab something to eat.” Whilst I was eating, I saw a cat that was living on the street.. I went invisible, not knowing how I was able to grab the animal and go back home. I looked in my bag. The pot said Power Gel. Last time, I must have looked at the wrong side. What next?

Elizabeth Glyn-Jones Lauren lived in space. Well, not really space: in a space station. Her parents had died when she was very young. So she lived on her own. Even though she did not live on earth, she still made sure it was safe - especially from Rubbish. He was an evil monster that emitted bins all around towns. He would always find a bin somewhere but, in Lauren’s space station, she had a big screen with lots of cameras that showed the bins. Did I not mention Lauren is a superhero? She also makes amazing sculptures and artwork. One day, Lauren was trying to think of an idea to try and catch Rubbish. She had had lots of plans in the past to try and catch Rubbish but somehow he was always too clever to ever fall for them. She needed to think of something that would work. Suddenly, a great idea popped into her head. She wanted to try it straight away. Rubbish was in the right place: he walked up to a bin where the handle had superglue on it. Lauren made some rustling in a tree to get his hands off, while she got a net ready. When Rubbish tried to get his hands off the bin, they wouldn’t come off and then Lauren threw a net over him and wouldn’t let him go until he promised to be nice and help her build her sculptures. From then on, Rubbish was a good person and helped Lauren build her sculptures.
Daniel Kelly There was the signal for Captain Justice to get into action. He leaped out the window and flew overhead, scanning the building for any open windows. He couldn’t see any yet but, as he flew around, he spotted one. When he got through, it was all now on him. He looked up and there was the skylight. Now all he had to do was gather all the bombs and put them in a pile.
Eve Ashworth This is Tilly Foxhood. She is a very bright young lady. She is not like me or you. Tilly was born in New York, where our story takes place. Her mum died during childbirth and her dad now works away. Tilly was an only child. Her dad looked after her all day, every day, until she was 16. Her father never knew that his only daughter had amazing, mysterious superpowers. Tilly developed her superpowers when a fox bit her whilst she was camping. Tilly was waiting behind a tree until her worst enemy, Mr. Keller, and his friend Jake (they hunt foxes) showed up on their horses. Then she suddenly saw him in the distance. It was time to act. Tilly ran up behind Mr Keller and used her telekinesis to take his gun. Then she called her Fox Crew. She made the horses run away so Dr. Keller and Jake couldn’t ride away on them. She decided to give them a taste of their own medicine and turned them into foxes. “Noooooo”, said Mr. Keller. “Oh no!” said Jake. “Maybe that will teach you a lesson”, said Tilly. From then on, she would be named Fox Girl.
Isabelle Strevens One hour earlier, Katie lost her dog, Wuff, in the park. Wuff was a Cavapoo, a cross between a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and a Poodle. Katie brought Wuff’s favourite tennis ball. He loved that ball. So, at 8pm, Katie took Wuff to the park in the dark. Once they were there, Katie took Wuff to their bench and threw the small yellow tennis ball for him.

Niamh O’Hara Jasmine was searching along the flat, dry, savannah ground looking for the cruellest of them all: The Super Poacher. Suddenly, some bleached yellow hair appeared in front of her. “I’ve been expecting you”, the Super Poacher said. “Heh.” Jasmine laughed. Suddenly, lava shot out of The Super Poacher’s fingers, taking Jasmine by surprise. It scorched a hole through her left wing. He went to shoot again but Jasmine flew away, wonkily, just in time. The Super Poacher just got angrier and shot bigger streams of radioactive lava at her but Jasmine had another trick up her sleeve. It took Jasmine a while to find the biggest, most ferocious cheetah (they kept running away) when, finally, she saw one that was just right in size; one that she could catch up with. “Cheetah?” Jasmine wheezed. “Mhm?” it said. “I need you to run into this man with the bleached hair.” “Sure! You mean The Super Poacher?” “Yes, exactly!” The cheetah (called Marvin) spotted the big sea of blonde hair STRAIGHT away. Quickly and stealthily he sprinted into him and started biting and scratching The Super Poacher whilst Jasmine phoned 999. Ever since then, Jasmine’s been on the news, on television shows, and much more. She is known as a local hero and is more popular than ever.

Luca Nutton One day, Ethan was making his new suit. He was nearly finished but he needed to go and check on his delicious pancakes to see if they were cooked. So he went downstairs to his white and blue tiled kitchen. He had a look. They were still cold. So he went back up his fluffy stairs. Soon, he saw his dog being aggressive to one of his old teddies. He was laughing his head off because it looked very funny. He sat back down, drank his warm Costa hot chocolate with smooth marshmallows in and carried on with his suit machine. He was really impressed with his new shiny suit. It was bulletproof. Ethan had powers like web slinging, super speed, wall climbing and super jumping. He sat down with his pancakes and turned on the news. As he was going to take a bite of his pancake, he saw that Dr. Vane was poaching. So he put on his suit and jumped into action‌ He got ready and swung and knocked Dr. Vane over. He took all the animals to the RSPCA and then arrested Dr. Vane. He got another Costa hot chocolate and that was it for the day of crimefighting.

Nancy Coyle Early one morning, Jessie woke up because all she could hear was BANG! CRASH! She rushed down the stairs to a window to see what it was. There wasn’t anything that was knocked over. “I must be hearing things”, she said to herself but then the evil villain, Doctor Dinosaur, appeared in her sight. So she rushed back upstairs to get her superhero gear on. Suddenly, there was a vast BOOM! on the roof. So there goes Litter Girl. “I’m coming to get you!” “No you’re not!” replied a low deep voice coming from in front of her. Litter Girl became tired and stopped for a rest as Dr Dinosaur made a wall of bins. Jessie started up again and nearly ran into it, not concentrating. She didn’t know how to get around it because it wasn’t stable enough to climb. Persuading herself, she jumped into a lake to swim around the wall of bins. “This is a very big wall”, she thought to herself. She climbed back out and cornered Dr Dinosaur and ordered him to stop littering. He never did it again after that day.
Maisie Mawson In a small, quiet bungalow in Devon, Agent Shadow was happily eating her Weetabix, thinking about how much she loves animals. In fact, her room was full of animal posters, bedding, carpet, wallpaper, and toys! She also had three animals of her own, too. She had a dog, who was a puppy Cavapoo, whose name was Fluff and she had 2 guinea pigs called Squeak and Cuddles, who loved to eat vegetables. Shadow had a brother as well called Johnny, who was 7 years old and had curly blonde hair (who loved animals too). Shadow’s mum, Rachel, and her dad, Paul, loved animals too! Suddenly, Shadow heard the radio say, “Do whatever you can to save the endangered pandas in China!”

Luke Fawcett “Just a normal day”, Johnny thought. Suddenly, the ball sailed over his head and landed in the goal. “Yeah!” Aiden shouted. “I win again.” Johnny rolled his eyes and clapped half-heartedly. “You’ll never beat me at football”, Aiden gloated. Johnny replied, “Nobody can beat me on the BBQ.” He rushed over to the BBQ and put the burgers on. “Flame on”, he said. Then he made his hands hot like supernova and the burgers cooked instantly. “Dinner is ready!” he shouted as he put the burgers on a plate. He walked over to the outside table and set the plate down in the middle. “Today’s a warm day, like me”, he said. “Very funny”, Aiden replied. “How do you cook this so good?” Dad asked. “Just my thing”, he answered. When everybody had finished eating, Aiden went inside and turned the TV on. Instantly, a newsman said, “Shocking interference came over the House of Parliament. We managed to record the video.” The screen changed to a man in a helmet made of glass and breathing apparatus.
Dylan Jones One day, Mr Pilot was eating his breakfast when, suddenly, the telephone rang. Mr Marvel said, “The VSI is invading Las Vegas and I want you to go and beat them. They’re heading to the city centre.” Henry raced towards his ‘super suit’ room and slid along the floor and into his suit. He jumped off the balcony and flew to the crime scene. Automatically, Sound-Man knew he was coming and he shot a laser beam at Pilot’s shield. Henry teleported to his house, grabbed his hypno-goggles, and was off again. Penguin Man, Sound-Man’s faithful sidekick, was freezing civilians! I used my super strength to lift them and used my hypnotism powers to tell a cigarette smoker to melt the ice with his lighter. I made a house out of trash and threw it onto Sound-Man and Penguin Man. Finally, I filled the house with refugees and went home. Mr Marvel rang me again and said in an amazed tone, “Henry Pilot I am officially promoting you to General Pilot.”

Owen Daley At a test room, two “obviously trained” scientists were testing a highly overreactive chemical. One of them asked for the snake tail to be put in a jar but, as he picked it up, the butter-fingered scientist dropped it and it smashed into the radioactive chemical! You bet that’s well trained, eh! So, as I was saying, there was a toxic ooze everywhere. As the ooze spilled over the walls, the butter-fingered scientist screamed out in horror as the ooze ran down his face and body. “Everything is going to be okay, Jack!” shouts the other guy. “Maybe…” he said again, raising his eyebrow. Jack struggled. The chemical soaked into his body combined with the DNA of the viper blood. Harry stumbled back as he watched his best friend turn into a horrifying creature…
Joel Foulkes As the dusk slowly approached, a boy called Nathen was in his favourite place: the cinema. The boy had a great time as usual but, as he left, a black-hooded figure stepped out of the shadows, pulled a gun out and pointed it at Nathen’s mum. Nathen’s dad sprung to his feet, making a heroic sacrifice, saving his beloved Nathen wife. There was a shocked silence in the dark, depressing, alleyway. At the speed of light, the mysterious thief vanished. The boy’s life was tragic without his father. He always helped him in life. Even when they fell out, he was there. After seven years had passed, Nathen decided to become a superhero for all.

Elizabeth Grimbly Once there was a girl called Lilly who lived in Venice with her parents (she loved animals, which we will learn about later in the story). “Mum, Dad stop peeking over the bridge. It looks like you’re going to fall in.” laughed Lilly. Her mum smiled back at her and said, “Don’t worry, Lilly. We’re not going to fall in.” Or were they? Suddenly, a man looking the other way whilst pushing a wheelbarrow Suddenl accidentally pushed them in. “Whoa!” screamed Lilly’s mum and dad. The man turned his head just in time to see Lilly jumping in after them!!! She swam deeper and deeper until she couldn’t hold her breath anymore and she had to go up to the surface. But, whilst Lilly was crying, there was a magic building up inside of her that she didn’t even know of… Three weeks later after her parents’ funeral, Lilly and her grandfather were going to her grandparents’ house in his car. “Don’t worry, Lilly, everything will be fine,” said her Grandpa Ray. His face suddenly lit up, “And maybe, when we get there, Jan (her nan) might have made us a special pie.” winked Grandpa Ray. “Blueberry and apple pie?” asked Lilly, smiling with delight. “Maybe.” replied Grandpa. When they arrived at her grandparents’ house, which was near by a forest, Grandma Jan said, “I’ve made the crust of the pie but I just need some blueberries. Can you go to the forest and fetch some for me?” “Of course,” replied Lilly and she rushed off to fetch some blueberries for the pie.

Matthew Morris It was a nice warm night when Bob was dreaming of sheep frolicking around in fields of grass and daisies. Suddenly, there was a loud ring. It was his alarm clock. Then he remembered that it was his first day of Year 5 in school. He rushed downstairs, dodging everything in his path. He gobbled up his breakfast that his mother had made for him. His mum gave him his favourite breakfast: pancakes. Later, he went to his wardrobe and said out loud, “What to wear? What to wear?” He only had one pair of clothes but he said it anyway. He raced to the bathroom and brushed his teeth, then put his shoes on over the socks he had had since he was two years old!
Alexa Penny Hello, my name is Laser Eyes. I am going to France today. Do you want to come with me? Great! Let’s go then. Whilst we are flying to France I am going to help the homeless because it is really cold nowadays and it is not fair if the homeless stay in this cold. It is really really cold now, isn’t it? Yes, it is, isn’t it? Ha! Ha! Right, because of all of that chatting we have done, I have got good news: we are at France. That was quite quick, wasn’t it?
Eva Roberts George was upstairs, lying in his bedroom with his friend when, suddenly, the doorbell rang! RING DING DONG! Mr Zebra was at the door with a man who was carrying a mysterious parcel… George was so shocked! “Hello, how are you?” said Daddy Pig. “How are things?” said Mummy Pig.

Genevieve Taylor After the robbery, Power Girl sat down and was about to drink her tea when she remembered she had to go to work. So she sprung to her feet and rushed to work. She was just cleaning up after her 30th customer, when her alarm bracelet went off. There were still more customers but she had to go! She ran to her underground den and transformed into Power Girl. She looked on her bracelet. It was Dr. Andy. He had defeated her before but he wasn’t going to now. She ran to Dr. Andy’s lair, where she heard a girl screaming. She had heard that voice before. She saw the girl’s face. It was her friend’s daughter. She fought Dr. Andy. She fought and fought him until he said, “You beat me this time but you won’t next time.” She replied, “There won’t be a next time!” She then untied the girl and returned her home. Power Girl walked home and transformed back into her normal self. She had her tea and went to bed.

Quickly, she got changed and headed towards… Doctor Mayhem! She caught up with him and said, “Have no fear. Flash Girl is here!” Surprisingly, she lost sight of him for a bit, walking up and down, wondering Surprisingl where he went. Then she caught sight of him and ran off to catch him.

Solomon Binns The world’s best black pudding related superhero (saving the day one pudding at a time!)... It was a normal day in Mexico. No crime to be seen. Usually, it’s hard fighting crime. Yes, it is. Especially when there isn’t only crime. Magic Merlin was Mexico’s best crime fighter and was probably the world’s best too. It all happened when he ate a dodgy vegan breakfast. It was all fine other than the tomatoes (he didn’t actually like tomatoes), beans, sausages, bacon, and toast. It was the black pudding that took its toll. He became the world’s best black pudding-related superhero and to this day he fights crime – when there is any. He has the power of magic, able to control anything with a single zap from his finger. Anyway, back to the story... Merlin, like I said, was short on crime to fight and was able to laze about in the sun all day (stopping only for meal times), and he was getting bored. So, one day, he looked at the paper. He skipped the politics (they were always boring) and helped himself to a new page. It was about Donald Trump. “Hardly surprising.” Merlin had said. “He’s always going on about how he’s got loads of shampoo.” But it wasn’t on about that or about mobility scooters for old people that don’t come with a shopping basket. No, it clearly stated ‘DONALD TRUMP AND FOUR POLITICIANS GO MISSING!’ “That’s funny,” thought Merlin. “He always likes to be the centre of attention.” But, as much as Merlin disliked Donald Trump, he wasn’t going to let him go missing just like that. No. He was going to find him. Merlin searched all over America - even in those junk food cafés that you never go to because the handles are always greasy with BBQ sauce and tomato ketchup. Eventually, he found him, of all places, in the White House! He seemed to have kept himself well hidden. Merlin watched him intentionally as he walked through a door into an office. Not just any office but the Oval Office! Donald Trump went over to his desk and pressed a big red shining button. Merlin gasped. (Not loudly. Otherwise Donald Trump might have heard him but a little snort was enough.) Up through the floor came a massive cage with guess who? The four other missing people! “I’m going to torture you.” Donald said. “I’m going to torture you until those Mexicans let me build that wall!”

Holly Brennand Once there was a girl called Sofie who had long ginger hair and bright blue eyes. Sofie was a normal girl in a normal village with a normal life until one day it all changed… One sunny morning, Sofie set off to go into town to get a present for her mum’s birthday the next day . She didn’t know what she was going to get for her mum but she knew it had to be PERFECT! As Sofie was walking, she suddenly came to a stop. “What is this?” she thought to herself. “This can’t be ordinary!” It was a purple rabbit about three times bigger than it should have been. Carefully and cautiously, Sofie walked up to the rabbit to see if it was all right and, before she knew it, she was lying on the floor, crying. “Weep! Weep! Weep!” The rabbit had bit her. Ever since that day, Sofie has been able to change from one animal to another! (Sofie’s mum had a brilliant birthday. Sofie got her a bracelet.)
Charlotte Brooke Super Bin Girl was asleep until her litter alarm woke her up. She rolled out of bed and looked at her litter alarm. It was bad news. Half the world was covered in litter. She got dressed and ate her speedy granola bar. She went outside and everything was covered in horrible, sticky, litter. She could clear it up but her trusty sidekick, Rabbit, was ill and at the vet. Then her watch beeped. Three-quarters of the world was covered in litter. She started picking up rubbish and binning it. Ten minutes later, her watch beeped again. She could pick up Rabbit. With Rabbit, they picked up all the rubbish and the Litter Villain was gone forever.

Ivan Smith The Matter had made it off the planet Bootes6. A beautiful nebula shimmered off in the distance. Nothing could ruin this view or, at least, so he thought… Out of the blue, in a dark cave, a figure appeared right in front of him. All the visible parts had metal in it: its face, its red eyes, and its mysterious purple scars. Its suit had a red glow but the rest was invisible. “I was expecting you”, said Lord Antimatter. “I was waiting for so long.” “We meet again”, the Matter said, “What’s the matter this time?” All of a sudden, an electric whiff landed.
Jacob Unsworth Thanos was building a Thanos robot to take over the world as he sent his robot sentry to earth. Loads of space ships came in to defend earth but, with a single blast, from one of the sentries’ lasers on his arm, he was unstoppable because that was the ultimate space SWAT. Thanos realised that, with the blue sky and the white clouds, he was at earth. The army came in with turrets and tanks but again they were destroyed. Their only hope was to send a scientist to space to collect dark matter. So they did. There was not a super cool dramatic cutrance to the spacecraft but I am smart. We were going to make our own robot sentry to destroy it. Oh. Wait… 5…. 4…. 3… 2… 1… BLAST OFF!!!!!!!!!!! I was in space after 10 minutes. I was sent to Mars to gain dark matter. So I was on Mars. It looked like the apocalypse. I found some dark matter. So I put it on the ship and I was off to earth… but, when I touched the dark matter, I gained super powers! I flew to earth but most of the world was destroyed. People were building futuristic houses. It was the stuff of a new age. The future Thanos was still inside his robot. So I shot a blast from my hand like 70 times but he was not damaged. He shot his lasers. I saw the destruction of the forcefield; his laser shot back at him and it was destroyed. The end.

Nicholas Kattou It was a Monday morning. Hurricane Woman was in her stone cave eating her frosted cereal. She felt the icy smooth milk drip down her cape as she munched down the crunchy flakes. As she was finishing with the bowl, Hurricane Woman noticed a feint noise outside of the cave. As the curious Superhero she was, she decided to check outside. She realised she could see a tiny grey sheet of paper on her doorstep, “What’s this?” she questioned. She slowly read it and this is what it said: Dear Hurricane Woman, I invite you to my humble abode to have a few snacks and just chat. I do hope you come. From Storm-Man. “Storm-Man? Who is he?” Hurricane Woman was confused but at the same time curious about who this was. She questioned going to see him for a moment but a minute later she decided she would. So she went. Wheeeee! She read the address on the letter, just to double check, as she was surfing through space to try and find his planet called Niboran. The letter said that his planet was a green, overgrown globe. Strange. Suddenly she stopped. Was this the planet she had been looking for? It was! She surfed to the planet and landed on a thick lime palm tree. This place seemed strange. “Storm-Man? Hello?” She couldn’t hear him or see a trace of him. “Oh, hello.” “Huh? What was that?” Hurricane Woman could hear his voice. “It’s me, Storm-Man.” “Oh, okay.” “Ha! Ha! Just kidding”, she could hear the voice say. “There is no Storm-Man!” “Well, who are you then?” “Oh, you know me.” No, it couldn’t be. It was… Doctor Z! “Ha! Ha! You fell right into my trap! And now you’re in my cage!” “Noooooo!” she screamed.

Kenziah Gray Poppy/Catgirl walked courageously towards the African president’s house. She went to Africa because it is in the top 10 highest poaching places in the world. “Wow!” Poppy thought as she walked through the metal gates onto marble steps leading towards a door in the middle of two large pillars. Catgirl knocked on the door in the middle of two large pillars. Catgirl knocked on the lion crested doorknob. Knock! Knock! Knock! “Hello”, said a tall man with an accent. “Who are you?” “I am Poppy. Also known as Catgirl.” “I don’t have you registered down for a meeting with President Katooche. That is what you are here for, is it not?” “Yes.” “Okay, I will see if he is busy.” He strode through the doors. Poppy had her fingers crossed behind her back. She waited patiently for a few minutes. CREAK went the door as it opened to reveal the man she had seen before (who Poppy now called Poshy Man because of his accent) and quite a young dark-haired man in a grey suit. “Come in... but I only have five minutes. Chop. Chop.” Off they went, down a long hallway with a red carpet and statues along it with loads of doors. Catgirl marvelled at the beauty. “Here, into this room.” So they went into a room with cushions along it and comfy chairs and sofas. Poppy named it Marshmallow Room. They sat down. “I am here to complain that Africa has to stop poaching and killing the animals that live here”, Poppy argued. “Sorry but we don’t have any records of that. On you go. You are wasting my time.” President Kabooche led Catgirl back to the door and out the golden gates. Catgirl had one last idea. She knew what to do. She would use her very special super power that she normally never uses!

Amber Anderson Sammi (a.k.a The Katt) walked into Morder Sycence’s lab. She waited in the shadows, watching in disgust as Dr. Sycence was experimenting on a poor, defenceless, bunny. After watching for a minute (which wasn’t even him actually even injecting the bunny - he was deciding what to put in it), she had enough. “Hey, stop it!” Sammi shouted from across the room. “I wanted a break anyways.” “Wait. Really?” Sammi was surprised. This guy is the laziest villain ever! “Yep!” and, with that, the doctor left. With this opportunity, our hero decided to look for where he would keep all his animals. “No secret lever… No hidden doorways... Is he even a villain?” But, finally, The Katt was out of the bag! It was just like any other door to any other room but, when The Katt opened it, it was something much more: Paradise.
Connie Shillito One bright morning, Pearl was enjoying a piece of toast when Moonstone burst into the room. “Pearl! Pearl! Pearl!” he shrieked. “What?” she said, calmly. “The fish!” he screamed. “Look at the FISH!!!” So Pearl-Girl followed Moonstone down to the aquarium. “Oh, my gosh!” she shouted. “I told you to not overfeed them!” She looked at Moonstone. “It wasn’t me!” he said angrily. “It was Green Beatle! I bet it was!” he spluttered. They were walking up the hill, where Green Beatle lived. “It wasn’t him,” Pearl said. “He can’t even open the fish food box!” Suddenly, the door opened and out came Beatle. He started to cry. “It was Suddenl me!” Pearl and Moonstone looked at each other and slowly backed away. “Awkward”, Pearl said quietly. He continued to sob. “I’m such a baaaaaadd villain!”

Gabriella Hughes One morning Luna (a.k.a Princess Moonlight) was eating her cereal. Suddenly, her phone bleeped. It was a message from Animal Woman. It read, ‘Meet me at the forest. Dr. Scarlet Red has set it on fire!’ Within the blink of an eye, Luna was out of the door but something weird happened. Princess Moonlight was a great flyer but unusually she was uncontrollable, as if she was tiny. After Luna had finished ‘flying’, she had arrived at the forest. It was much bigger than she had remembered. The bright green leaves were double her size! As she crept around the forest trying not to be spotted by Dr. Scarlet Red, she suddenly saw a huge blazing fire burning the trees down. She had to do something. The poor, defenceless, animals in the tree could get injured. So she flew up into the sky and was trying to put the fire out. All of a sudden, Animal Woman flew up from the sky and helped her put the fire out.
Brodie Crossan Zach Smith was walking home from school, when the wind was blowing a gale. Palm trees bent over like dancers. Zach’s watch suddenly beeped: there was a terrorist in Miami! He had to defuse that bomb otherwise innocent people would die. He sprinted down the street at lightning speed; everything was a blur for the young teenager when he ran. He was at the scene in five minutes. Zach turned on his x-ray vision and saw the explosive in someone’s backpack. The man was about to detonate the bomb, when Zach tackled him to the ground. The detonator slid across the floor. Zach stopped the terrorist from getting it and took his backpack off of him, along with the detonator.

Louis Eyre It all started when Peacekid (Zach) was in a history lesson in school and the teacher said to think about the two words: STOP WAR. That is when Zach got his idea of actually being a superhero and stopping all the war that was happening. It helped that he already had some powers, which were invisibility, teleportation, and super strength. All of the powers were perfect for his plan to stop war all around the world; then we could have peace in our world. He thought he couldn’t do it alone. So he needed a friend. His friend, who was called James, volunteered and Peacekid thought he was by far the best of the bunch that wanted to help Zach. Zach tried to get the thought of getting captured out of his head.

Benjamin Snow Once upon a time, there was a kid whose name was Biting and he lived in the jungle alone, all by himself. One day he thought, “When I am old, I want to be a superhero”, but he couldn’t because he was too young. So he had an idea: “I’m going to build a house. First, I’ll need to cut down the trees”, but there was a power that he had. He cut down the trees with his mouth and 50 seconds later he had tonnes of wood. With the wood he had, he could build a house. 10 minutes later he had finished. He had the door and he was happy. Day number 3, he woke up in pain. “Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow!” He said, “I need a new bed.” So he walked. It was 12:00 and he could now sleep. When it came to moonlight, he could hear zombies but he didn’t have any weapons... thankfully, it was only a dream. He woke up in shock. He had his breakfast which was wood. After he had breakfast, he went out but he felt a raindrop on his head. It was raining. So he went back into his house. “Noooooooooooooooooo!” He went back to bed and sulked. Day 5 in the jungle, he looked outside of the window and it was still raining. He shouted, “Nooooooooooooooooo!!!!” He was angry and stayed angry until he calmed down.

Abram Binns The lights flickered on in the dull laboratory. Rows of jars, full of obscure liquids, stood by the wall and a small figure was standing in the middle of the room. The figure pours liquid onto a body shrouded in cloth of the darkest silk. Lightning strikes the body, flashing brilliantly as it does so. The superhuman vampire takes away the scientist’s fame. The scientist heads over to Russia as the Soviets try to shoot him down in their planes. Oh no! To be continued…
Jack Fielden One sunny morning, a teenager named Zach Ranger, was fixing his pill machine. “This is going to be sweet”, he said, humming to Ed Sheeran at the same time. When he finished repairing it, he turned it on and yanked on the lever. “Here goes nothing”, he murmured to himself. Honk! Honk! Honk! “Overload! Overload! Overload!” said the computer. BANG! The flames burnt Zach.
Giselle Ryan Alissa was in her lab when she heard a knock on her ancient, oak door. She cautiously opened the door, peered through a slit and grimaced at who was on the other side. It was the legendary idiot, ‘Van the Devil’. He smirked at her set-up and laughed out loud. Without warning, Van went to attack Alissa but she dodged it and said her heroic catchphrase, “Don’t go there!” Van and Hawkeye had a legendary battle… Alissa was beating him with her telekinesis but Van was tricking her with his invisibility powers. Van started to fall back and then he fled the scene. Alissa knew it wasn’t over and got ready for one of Van’s schemes.

Tessa Hawkes “There is a reason that I am telling you that I am the Polar Bear”, Whitney said. “It is because I want you to be the new Polar Bear. I have done this job for too long now.” I took it all in and gasped. “Wh-What?” I stammered. She replied smoothly, “The new Polar Bear. Do you want to do it?” “I… I mean I’m not sure!” I exclaimed, still stuttering. Her voice was soft but not at all calming. “It won’t be too hard... at least, not to start with. I can help you anyway.” I replied swiftly, not realising what I was about to set myself up for, “I guess so.” “Thank you”, she said in a sickly-sweet tone. “Meet me on Monday.” Then she skipped off. Later, Late up in my room, I thought about it for a few minutes - although there wasn’t much to think about. What had just happened? Should I have ever said yes? Suddenly, something happened. It had never happened before yet it seemed unusually natural. I was up in the sky, water surging out of my hands making me go further and further upwards. Then I saw it: the o-zone layer. It had small gaps but loads of them. Then a man, grinning, just underneath it, stared straight at me. I had no idea what was going on. The man was almost the opposite of me: red hair and fair skin and happy yet angry. I willed the water to stop and take me back down - this man was scary - but it didn’t. It brought me up to the man who introduced himself immediately whilst a thousand more questions still welled up in my head.

Oscar Steel 30,000 foot in the air, thinking “What will everyone else think?” She thought for a moment as she watched everyone below her. “Poem!” she said, as if she had been contemplating it for hours. She reached for a piece of wet paper in her bag. Her phone bleeped. It was an email. “Dear S.M.” it read. “I can’t wait to see you at the centre. Love, K.A.T.T.” Her face turned pink. “Oh, my gosh! K.A…. K.A.T.T. sent ME an email!” Shocked, she stood up. Then she turned blue. The next thing she knew, she was in an airplane toilet, throwing up. After a few minutes, she stepped out. Right in front of her was a familiar man. It felt like hours they were just staring at each other. Then an announcement broke the tension. “Hi, this is your captain speaking. We are on the KAOI flight to Seoul International airport and we will be landing shortly. Thank you.”

Jacob Welsh Once upon a time, there was a boy called Freezy. He was playing with his friend when he should have been in bed, in the igloo, but, no, he went and played with his friend, Frost, and they decided to play on the thin, freezing ice that was going to break any second! Frost fell over. So Freezy went to help. Freezy ran as quick as a flash but the ice went BOOM!

He saved thousands of lives. One day, there was a devil that could breathe blistering lava and drip fire. His teeth were as sharp as knives and filthy red. They were dripping with blood! His horns were as sharp as razors and he held a trident that was made only to kill. After hours of fighting, Freezy sliced his head off and put his head on his own trident. The blood was oozing from his bloody neck.

Charlie Edwards “Come, Barry. We must fight the Jumping Jack and his crew. Look! Look in the building!” said Serpostia (aka Harry). “Look! It’s Jumping Jack and his recruits.” “What should we do?” said Barry. “The Jumping Jack has the upper hand.” But by the time Barry had finished his sentence, Harry had started burning down the building. So Barry ran after him. Barry got about halfway up and found Harry. Then he saw the Jumping Jack. He zapped Barry and Barry fell down a big hole: there was silence for a moment. Barry was dead. “No!!” Harry screamed. He remembered something: if he killed the Jumping Jack, all of his recruits would turn good. He pushed the Jumping Jack off the stairs and Jumping Jack was dead. There was a big party after his death but just as he was celebrating… BANG! Harry had been shot. Is he dead?

Emily Brainbridge Adirka was standing on the top of a mountain, waiting for the mysterious person to come along. She wasn’t entirely sure who would be so needy of a chat with her but still not give her their name. She was kind of excited until she remembered that she didn’t know for sure that the person would be delivering good news to her. Adirka was intrigued, nervous, and excited all at the same time. All of a sudden, a man appeared out of nowhere, wearing a green cape, which was flowing wildly in the wind. His facial expression was making it obvious to Adirka that it was not going to be the good news that she was hoping for. The figure began to walk closer and closer to her, making a shiver run down her spine. The man had dark brown hair and green eyes that matched his cape. Adirka spoke, “Hello, you must be the person who wrote my letter!” “Yes, I am”, said the man in a deep voice. Before Adirka could reply, he began to speak again, this time with an even more grumpy expression. “Listen. I know what your feelings are towards equality and the rights of everyone but, honestly, I need you to stop fighting for it.” A dangerous amount of fury and rage appeared on her face. The man suddenly smiled and simply said, “Oh, hi there!” Adirka wondered what it was but suddenly she realised she could use this power for the greater good!
