Ver 05

The masses were shocked.

Well, of course it is quite shocking for a citizen of Heudringottingenberger-und-Hzyepterzchwagenoftereich that a supervillain with superstrength is ripping his or her beloved city apart, and even more shocking that the supervillain just grew some hundred or so feet, and even more shocking is to see the giant police mecha which now is bringing some truly physical form of electric shock. And the most shocking of all is the destruction of a white elephant of a police force, and the numerous anomalies in the concept of being taxed for something that obviously won't work efficiently. It's like buying the most expensive high-tech electric rodent killer only to find out that the rats have chewed through the device's wire insulation and had caused a big fire in your home that engulfs all your appliances, including that overpriced mousetrap.

In the wreck that followed, Problem gets back to dismantling that car engine, only that he is a giant that can crush the ruby-encrusted glowstick by accident. But he doesn't know that, being the stereotypical supervillain strongman who falls under the "dumb fighter" stereotype.

Meanwhile, the police commissioner rallies the last of his efforts, er, cohorts with the task of getting The Mythical David's Sling giant-killing, er, gun? No one really knew how it wound up in Heudringottingenberger-und-Hzyepterzchwagenoftereich Museum, nor how the archaeologists acquired that artifact weapon, or who made it, or why it is called The Mythical David's Sling in the first place, or even who David is. (I will directly tell you that they have a universe unlike ours (Do you expect any person in this universe to have Ver-like powers?) and have not heard the story of David and Goliath.) But he, together with me, hope that it will take out the giant Problem before the whole storyline gets too kooky. And he initiates a search for a non-police that can use the sling, since he knew that cops can't stop a supervillain.

The commissioner looks around, with the masses still being shocked, and are surprised to see him survive the destruction of the Heudringottingenberger-und-Hzyepterzchwagenoftereich Police Headquarters Mecha. He sees Ver, by which time the police give The Mythical David's Sling to the commissioner.

With all the formality of a proper policeman, the commissioner sends some cops to drag Ver out of the charged puddle and onto drier ground. "Look, kid, that giant is rampaging through town and we can't stop him. Now you have The Mythical David's Sling, and we believe that you will make that giant fall."

Ver simply answers "OK. No problem."

And with a "POOF!", Problem is gone.

"Kid, I don't know how you used that thing, but good work there."
"I didn't even know how to use this thing!"
"Whatever."

And there the story ends. I actually sketched these before and made them into comics, but I don't have a scanner, and I don't have the notebook either. So I don't expect to write about the other drawings I have drawn in the notebook, and this may be the last Ver story, Goodnight.
