20 years have passed since the return of the Calabro Crew from Arlia...

Chaos reigned over the once peaceful planet. Red skies and darkness covered the land. Cities destroyed and people killed. Only few survived. Many would ask what happened to Earth, and if something did happen, wouldn’t the Calabro Crew save the day again? Well, many things have happened since the return.

Across the horizon at the once beautiful school of Pomperaug, which laid fallen and toppled over the hill it stood on. A youth of 16 years, walked cautiously exited from basement like doors long side the school walls. He walked out toward the soccer field to breathe in the day. A figure flew across the sky and landed beside him. “Dad, your back! What happened?” The middle-aged man panted a little and looked up at the sky and two other figures flew toward them, “RICHARD, GET INSIDE.....THEY’RE HERE!” the man shouted. Richard ran as fast as he could to the entrance he came out of, as he saw his father prepare to battle. Two figures landed, one was of Philibuster and another of Joe the Strong. Joe the Strong was a clone of Joe, whom was garbed in Mandalorian armor, which Zuk defeated earlier. The father of Richard charged up his new found powers and he burst into a Super Scholar. Richard was awed at the site of seeing the power of that. He always wanted to have the power that his father had. The man dashed toward the Philibuster clone, but he blocked it and nailed him to the ground with his elbow. Then he picked him up and slapped him a few times. He turned him around and faced him toward Joe the Strong. Joe the Strong clenched his fists and a blue aura covered it, “Now, we finally got the second Super Scholar.” He punched the Super Scholar in the chest, which punctured through him. Blood gashed out of his stomach and he fell to the ground in a loud cry and died.

The clones laughed a little and flew off away from the school. Richard left his hiding spot and ran to his deceased father. He hugged the dead body and cried aloud. “Father, I should have been with you to help you. Just like Mr. Philibuster told me too when he was training me. You pushed me out of the way, because I haven’t been strong enough to fight the clones yet. You said I needed to....BECOME A SUPER SCHOLAR......AHHHHHHH!” Before Richard finished his sentence he felt the hate rise...the anger of the death of his father, his fault...He cried harder, as his eyes changed from the blue they were to an emerald green, then back to the blue. His hair stood up, phasing from the brown hair it was to a gold. Then in a burst of anger and pain, he burst into a Super Scholar. He had achieved his goal. But he realized that one boy cannot take on the both of them. He weeped and released his power as he ran into the refugee camp of his family. As he ran across the darkened hallways, where columns broke through walls and concrete fell to the floor, he ran to the once Nurse’s station of PHS. There, Caitlin stood, washing dishes from a meal. The 36 year old woman turned to see Richard running into the office in tears, “Mother, mother, Dad is dead...He tried to save me from the clones, but died...” He said. “Oh...Brian....” Caitlin replied, she remembered her lover of twenty years, Brian. The one who fathered her child that stood before her. She embraced her son as she too weeped. After clearing away the tears, Richard broke the embrace. “Why did Zuk have to die on us, why did that asthma attack kill him, allowing all the others to be killed. All they did was try to save the world. But those super clones were too strong for them.”

He stormed out of the room and wandered the hallways. Until he reached upstairs to the science department of the school. Inside, a woman was performing an autopsy on a dead body. “Miss Tara, can I talk to you for a moment.” Tara turned to see the lad, “Richard, why are you here, you know your mother told you not to see me again. She is very upset with me, you should know that.” Richard nodded, “I know, I need some time to rest up, since my father just died. What are you doing?” Tara stood perplexed, another death she figured, the toll was so high it didn’t phase her much. “Well, I found Philibuster’s body intact, and have been studying the gene structure of his DNA. I want to find a way to create an Artificial Super Scholar. If we had an army of them, we can destroy those clones.” Richard glanced over and became disgusted at what he saw. “Miss Tara, I have a better idea, can you create a time machine for me. Something for me to go back into the past and warn everyone before the clones appeared. I know you can do it. Mother told me a few times your intelligence and skill to build anything got you out of a few problems.” Tara pondered the thought, she had a basic u understanding of the Space time continuum. She could do it. “Well, for you I will, just I dunno if you should go. You haven’t gotton strong enough to fight strong people yet.” she said. Richard walked out of the room a happier person, “I can go back into time 21 years into the past. The day before Zuk returns to Earth. I will warn them to become stronger when the super clones appear.” he thought to himself.

He ran to his room next door to the nurse’s room and fell asleep, as Tara worked busily at the time machine.

The next morning, Richard woke as quickly as he could. He got ready as fast as he could and ran to Tara’s lab. He saw her busily working a domed egg shaped object about the size of a car. “Miss Tara, is it done?” Richard blurted out from behind her. “Almost, Richard, I need a few hours to fix a few kinks and power it up.” she said. Richard sat for a while as he watch her hammer, nail and fizzle with a few components of the time machine. After an eternity, she rubbed her brow from the sweat and said, “There it’s done.” Richard ran in joy to the ship and examined it a bit, he wandered inside and looked at the controls. They seemed pretty straight forward. He ran to the corpse of Philibuster and grabbed a kitanna blade from his x sheathes. He sheathed it into his own and ran into the ship. He powered it up and set the date, June 1st, 2001. The egg ship span wildly as it sped to speeds faster then light, and then to the speed of time. In an instant, the ship disappeared.

Thirty seconds later, the time machine appeared on top of a large hotel. Richard popped his head out of the egg shaped machine and examined the area. He looked down and realized he was on top of the Ramada. “I know where I am, the school should be straight ahead” he said. He jumped in the air to fly, but failed and fell onto the roof. “Dammit, I forgot, my powers only work if the alien creatures are here. Wait a second, let me try again.” He hopped into the air again and was able to fly. He remembered that the clones were locked in a stasis on planet. So it was possible to retain his powers. He flew at incredible rates to the school. He landed on the soccer field and saw a group of girls practicing softball. He saw one in particular that he recognized, “Hey Kelly, come on over here.” he shouted. The girl, Kelly walked over toward the individual and stopped for a sec, “Who are you?” Richard thought to himself, “Uhhhh...just wanted to say hi, I am a friend of your boyfriend, Zuk.” “Ohh, can you tell me your name, and year at this high school.” I really can’t tell you my name but I can tell you I am a sophomore here.” “Otay....I think I get it. Nerver mind, I knew Joe had a lot of weird friends, but this is weird. You look like a friend of mine, Brian, do you know him?” She asked. Richard thought for a minute, it was his father she spoke of. “Uhh, a little bit.” he answered. “Otay, I see, we’ll do you know when Joe is supposed to return to this planet?” she asked, although feeling stupid, because no one really knew what was going on with the Calabro Crew. “Well, he is due here tomorrow, at 3:43 pm on the lower soccer field.” he answered. Kelly raised an eyebrow, this was weird, she was thinking hard. “Well I should be off to practice, nice...talking to you.” she ran off to her team and thought about what he said.

Meanwhile as Richard flew around he saw a lot of familiar faces. He saw a much younger Sean Bastedo, Mike Gilday (although he heard a lot of bad storied from her mother about him) he turned his head away from him. Then he saw Joe Philibert, sitting on a rock behind the school. He flew to the ground and landed before him. “Excuse me, are you Joe Philibert?” The Joe looked up, “Yes, and what of it?” “Well, I head you can change into a Super Scholar. I would think you may be as strong as I, but I don’t believe you can change into that.” Joe stood up, he had beliefs he can still change, though supposedly there were no clones around to spark his power. He stood up and clenched his fists as he burst into a Super Scholar very easily, “Satisfied now....Now go away!” he shouted to Richard. Richard also very easily changed to a Super Scholar. “Hahaha, you think you are so strong, the strongest on the planet. But you don’t know strength.” Joe began to get pissed at him and he shouted as he dashed toward the youth and they locked into combat. Left, right, left, right, each fist sped to each other at incredible rates.” Then Joe punched Richard hard at the jaw. He fell backwards and lost control of his power and fell to the ground in pain. “So, you are strong as they say.” he said. As he got up and turned, the entire Calabro Crew stood before them in a circle, in addition to Kelly as well as Caitlin’s new boyfriend, Brian. Richard scanned them all, all of them looking younger then he remembered, then he saw his mother, Caitlin. He looked at her for a little bit then dropped his eyes to the ground. “I am here to tell you all that Zuk will return here tomorrow at 3:43pm at the lower soccer field. Be there.” Richard shouted. Before any person tried to question him, Richard flew up to the air and back to his ship. Where he rested.

The next day, after school. The Calabro Crew assembled around the edge of the lower soccer field. All were present, Caitlin, Tara (although spread very far apart, their fight had already began.) Sean Bastedo, Mr. Calabro, Mike Gilday, Tim Dwire was also there, and finally Joe Philibert. Richard flew over them and landed next to Bastedo and Gilday. Then a loud sonic boom cut the silence of the sky and plummeted to the ground, the very center of the soccer field...the time, 3:43pm. It was a round ship, a little bigger then the size of a person. The door, slowly opened up and out appeared Zuk. He was garbed in a cape and suit, although not like his Namek-jin weighted clothing. He waved to everyone surrounding him. “Hey all, miss me? How come you knew I was going to be back here?” he said to everyone. Then Calabro stepped forward, “Zuk, this boy here told us your exact time you were to land.” he said. Zuk turned to Richard, whom shook his head and told them they were to talk later.

Then Mike said to Joe, “So, where have you been and how did you get off planet Arlia?” Zuk answered, “Well, as soon as I got onto the ship, I tried to start it, but it failed. I looked at the bar coding and recognized the lettering as Latin and it said this ship was a crasher ship. Meaning that it is designed to impenetrable to large explosions and crashes. Then the planet blew up! It catapulted my ship out into orbit, and to the unknown. I was knocked unconscience and didn’t wake up till I was revived when I was in a laboratory of some alien species. I spent a little over a year with these amazing creatures. They studied me and I studied them. They taught me a new move, the instantaneous teleport. As well as I taught them the Kamehameha. It was quite an interesting experience. A shame I had to leave them, but I had friends to return to.” Everyone stood perplexed at the story, but clapped their hands at the valiant recovery of their comrade.
