Calabro Conversion Part V

Chapter XXXIII: Rage of the Mystic Professor!

Crossed in swords the two powerful sides tried to better each other in sword combat, one in protecting and replenishing the good in everything, the other a destroyer seeking revenge over those who had ruptured their own peace and they fight back with violence and chaos. Calabro used all his available Mystic Professor strength to hold his block from the menacing Maddas with his dark scimitar of evil. “You may have some strength in you, but it isn’t enough to save you or your school. I have been watching you develop for many years…” he said as Calabro raised an eyebrow while Maddas recited his story of being so well prepared. “…I will never forget when my superiors told me that our lord Li Echlud had perished under the influence of your scholars and that each of his seven body guards, assassins and experts at silence and stealth had been defeated. I needed revenge, but I hesitated, I was a mere grunt soldier in my force and my opinion didn’t matter. But as the next year came and the brother, Vehcsurk had perished by those same scholars my rage brought me over the edge and I demanded an assault. Years came and high lord Noxin, a personal friend and ally with his private army and cloning facilities dropped on Earth and coaxed a timid Earth girl to break her allegiance and break down those Super Scholars one by one. But that had failed thanks to those same scholars. Finally after the defeat of all my superiors and permission from my race we fastened together all we had to lead our own assault. I sent spies to calculate and watch the battles and process the strength we should prepare at. When Noxin was defeated I trained to a rate greater than that, and I commanded my soldiers to do the same. It seems that some of you continued to improve yourself, but I still do not understand Calabro’s power. How did you receive this blessing?”

Calabro just smiled as he pushed against Maddas’ sword, “You may have not monitored any of our status’ of the Room of Spirit and Time, that is a physical impossibility. Where a day of training can add up to an entire year in strength as you leave it. You see my friend nothing could have prepared you for this new strength I discovered. It seems we shall win once more.”

Maddas kicked him away and Calabro flew back and landed on his knees and ran back to his position and sliced back and forth aimlessly. But the dark one danced back and forth around the cuts into the air with the magical blade. He air kicked Calabro and knocked him back. “Why are you getting so sloppy, are you getting tired? I can benefit from this I don’t tire as fast as you humans; my stamina is at its peak in this darkness around me. As you can see you have no chance, every miss and strike takes a toll on you and only replenishes me from avoiding it.” He arrogantly stated. Calabro thought in the back of his mind, up to this point he was doing so well, with his new power it jumpstarted a counter attack against this villain and now he was falling apart and know he is the only chance left. But he needs more power to finish it off. As he turned to look at his scholars who were standing in a line, he felt that there was a chance. The two Joes hinted that Calabro needed a hand, but how? Joe Philibert pondered hard and then struck an idea and whispered to Zuk. How in turn nodded and sparked in interest into the matter, and Calabro faced his opponent and only wondered if they had the time and chance to make it work, but can all this. Maddas flew up to Calabro and slugged him in to the stomach, and he dropped his sword. Maddas leapt onto him and hoisted his scimitar over the courageous English teacher and readied to strike him dead with a single blow.

But as he was ready to strike down, a figure flew in his way and armed a shotgun to his chest. The dark figure from the darkness fired his shotgun with beautiful aim and the Shadow monster fell backwards, only stunned, but with a rather large gaping hole in his chest. The figure was of course, none other then Mike. He raised his shotgun to his lips and blew the smoke off. He reached for Calabro to get up and pulled him up. He whispered something to him and Calabro hesitated an agreement, but with Mike’s stern eyes and plan he told, it was all they had left. So Calabro nodded and then the two Joes a little ways ahead stood side by side.

From that point they performed the fusion dance. Each simple movement of a leg, and arm seemed so easily remembered from the many times the faithful Joe-squared saved the day for the first time on this very field four years ago. Now as they performed the dance as perfect as always they combination of the two completed the creation of the Mighty Joe-squared. His spiked shiny light brown and loose clothes as well as his enormous strength was still not enough for a fight against Maddas. But as Calabro as instructed he ran over to Joe-squared and he told got into a line and the two then performed the fusion dance as simple and reflexive as they saw one second ago. With in moments the most awesome sight behold them as never two great powers combined together at one single moment. Lightning struck around them, the clouds haled over them as the bright light around them fused them as one. When the dust settled, only one being stood before him. He was heavily built in muscle as the Mystic Professor; his hair was black standing straight up with a spray gray color in his hair. His anger filled eyes of hazel stared at the villain who caused this hell. His clothes were a Hawaiian shirt that was not Calabro Red, but a black, with the Palm trees of green and brown. His baggy cargo pants followed below, as did his shoes of brown. “We are the newest and more powerful fusion, meet The Super Professor. The combination of Joe-squared and Mr. Calabro.” The fusion spoke in an odd stereo.

Maddas was quite shocked at such a risk. Though this power may be of something, and with the fusion, not doubt his stamina is maxed out, he has to thing of something. But as he coughed up blood from the shotgun wound in his chest, he better either escape or destroy everything. As he raised his arms to gather as much energy to blow the land to nothing, a figure came from behind and grabbed him into a lock. His arms came from under his arms and over behind his neck and his hands locked into position. It was Bastedo! “Ok, I got him, with my strength he isn’t going anywhere.” And Bastedo was certainly right. Maddas struggled and couldn’t even movie very well. The shot to his chest and Bastedo’s strength was too much to bear. It was no doubt to the team that Sean was at his strongest ever.

Bastedo felt so powerful and useful as he latched himself to the evil one, recalling the incident where Zuk and him arm wrestled and defeated Zuk, but the intensity of the win blew a hole in the table they were on. The spectators all shouted in awe as Bastedo grabbed at him and held his ground. The Super Professor walked to his victim and placed his two fingers over his forehead and began to charge up the necessary power. As he did so, the 3-way fusion crouched down and picked up Calabro’s sword and held it tightly as he powered up. After a minute of powering up to the maximum amount, the small spark of energy wrapped around the fingers danced around. “Sean, why must you do this, there must be another way.” The fusion said. As he struggled to hold him, Sean replied, “Throughout our adventures I lent a hand here or there. Never having enough power to win the fights that the Super Scholars or even now, you to do. I thought it be best to use my self to the benefit as a team. With our combined forces we can do this. I can only say I am honored to have been your student and your savior. Fate has told me that this is the way to go, besides, wish me back! Now enough of this small talk, do it man!” he shouted as he held the demon. “DO IT NOW!” As he grunted in pain from the wiggling of the shadow he closed his eyes and gave it his all and held him in the impenetrable grip.

The Super Professor aimed his pointer and middle finger and placed the word over fingers and aimed straight at the being. “Now, for all the trouble you caused… Bastedo, your sacrifice will not be in vain, here it comes… CHOU … MAKENKOSAUPPO! From the sword, which fired from its spot, the typical beam, which was two of them, one firing straight and the other with a screw rotating effect and the powered sword at the head came flying head on to the duo.

From afar, Sean’s girlfriend screamed in agony as she saw her boyfriend risk himself for the safety of others, she attempted to run toward him. But Stephanie and Chicky grabbed her and held her back. She screamed against this action and kicked to get away. But the others stayed strong.

The enhanced beam came head on and crashed into Maddas and Sean, the beam within a few moments had drilled through both of them and ate through their stomachs and the sword blew through them both. After the beam sailed away and stopped, Maddas fell down…dead! Sean fell the opposite direction, partially alive, but with an enormous gaping hole from the blast. The others ran to the noble fighter and tried to feed him a cookie. He reached up for it and realized he can’t. He doesn’t have the remaining strength to consume it. He fell back and was ready to give into to the normality of death…again. “Hey guys, glad…I can help…wish me back…ok?” the others began to slowly weep at the temporarily loss of their friend as his body disappeared and taken to the Spirit Realm. Only the pressed grass and an ounce of blood remained.

Meanwhile Maddas had been defeated. As well as scholars Paul Mueller and Neil Evans knocked down and beat the two guards to nothing, and still confused by their newfound strength. But they still looked at those noble fighters with great honor and a sense of peace as everyone had a moment of silence, then all retreated to their homes, the night was over.

Several days later, Mike returned to the school with the accompaniment of several other scholars as he found the pieces of the Medallion of Wishes. He laid the medallion flat on the battlefield several days earlier and summoned forth the dragon! He snake-like being flew up and over as he towered over the scholars and demanded their wish. “I wish for Sean Bastedo to be resurrected to life as he was the day of his death!” The dragon pondered for but a moment and shined his eyes and replied, “SO BE IT!” And within a second, the transparent outline of Sean stood in front of him, and he began to become more solid and physical as he felt his life return to normal. Sean came out and looked at his friends he hung around with for many years. The dragon also demanded another wish. “I wish that everyone besides us before you forget that terrible occurrence several days ago.” The dragon’s eyes brightened and he replied with the agreed wish and everyone had forgotten. So now everything was back to normal. The dragon looked upon the group of people standing by him. “As my creators have perished as well as the shadows who have filled life into me, I must say farewell to you all, as my life on this world cannot be fulfilled with out some presence of my creators.” The dragon then felt his life terminate as his once beautiful scales vanished into nothing but a skeleton of himself and in a poof of smoke, vanished. The Medallion changed from its gold color, to a copper and aged appearance. The scholars before them looked up to the heavens and realized, yes it was all over…forever!”

From that moment each hero parted their ways, each finding success in their future. Joe Zukoski went to Maryland to further his education as a Psychology major has also been noted to be a city superhero garbed in a white cape and purple gi, with a turban and mask, calling himself the Super Scholar. He never married and lived a long and wonderful life counseling many people over their problems for many years and saving the world. It is rumored he undertakes a pupil and trains him in his mystic arts to eventually take his place as the newest hero. He never met with any of his friends after graduation night.

Mike Gilday went on to become an English teacher in the style of his mentor Mr. Calabro. Not much else is known of his future in this reality, but it would undeniably be happier than the one from whence Richard dwelled. He eventually married and had a child, nicknamed coincidentally Trinity.

Caitlin and Brian married as their romance continued. With in a few years they had a child, whom was named Richard. A strapping young boy, who plays in the wildness of their rural home, in his teens he meets a girl named Trinity whom he went on to marry…

Philibuster moved away from the gang to Colorado to become a notable scientist of DNA. He terminated the cloning projects, which had developed over the years, calling this “unethical and wrong to tamper Mother Nature.” He wishes to never have any reoccurrence of any past references.

Stephanie married her boyfriend as he proposed to her the day after the formal graduation and they lived a prosperous life together having several children together where she finally was happy after many years. She always reflected the good times as her and Chicky, who married a little later in life after many on and offs with her boyfriend, later down the road grow old together with their husbands around the fireplace to tell stories of adventures against the clones. But of course, both husbands keep on telling their wives, that it was only a dream. But the two smile and giggles, because they knew it was not.

Sean was noted as a hero by his friends and kept silent of his actions to not spark any controversy to those who forgot. He married his sweetheart and now the two are currently expecting a child. Daddy Sean became a famous cook on TV, and more positively reflecting on his biggest success of the Bastedo cookie, a household name.

Finally, Mr. Calabro, who after many years retired from teaching English class. He now puts his full time as a rather famous author who dictates genres of wartime novel about a corrupt middle-east government who replicates amazing clones soldiers who are an unstoppable force to the American government. This blockbuster, called “The Clone Wars” became as famous as any other book in the world and later became a movie. But the hidden message was that it reflected the real adventures he had many years ago as a teacher at good old Pomperaug High School!
