I didn’t get to the
100 views target that I did set on chapter one, but I did get 91 views, so I
guess that’s good enough. Anyway, I know you guys have been patiently waiting
for the next instalment, so here goes.

Chapter two:
The SHITs awoke bright
and early the next morning. They were in their government housing facility,
which was monitored with cameras, three armed guards stood outside the main
door, just in case the hoodlums decided to attack.
The house was just
like any other apartment in New York except for the fact that it had awful
plumbing. There were two bathrooms in the apartment and both of the toilets
were clogged. That was expected though, since the SHITs did piss a lot. The
excessive flushing had drained the water tanks dry and as a result the showers
were not working
“Dude, you stink!”
David said to Marvin while making breakfast for the three of them.
“Kettle… Meet pot.”
Marvin replied.
Ralph who had just
surfaced from slumber was headed to the bathroom.
“You don’t want to go
in there bro!” Marvin warned Ralph. It was a warning that Ralph didn’t take
seriously, nevertheless he wished he had done so.
While the other two
were in the kitchen creating a feast, Ralph was in one of the bathrooms
cleaning up.
“Have you discovered
your powers yet?” Marvin asked David.
“Nope. I feel just the
same as before. Maybe a little more boring.” Replied David.
Half an hour later
breakfast was ready and Ralph had emerged from his shower.
“That new conditioner
is awesome!” Ralph said, stroking his facial hair.
“Holy shit dude! Your
hair, it looks amazing!” Marvin awed.
“I know right?” Ralph
said flicking his hair about in pure Baywatch fashion. While he was shaking his
head from side to side his long locks elongated even further and knocked out one of
the surveillance cameras and a few dishes on the kitchen counter nearly 10 feet
away from him.
“Woah!” Marvin said, “Do it again!”
Ralph obliged and
snapped his neck to the left and right again, frantically.
This time his beard
grew seven times its size and wrapped itself around Marvin. Marvin was now
three feet off the ground, engulfed in Ralphs beard, suffocating.
“Put him down man!”
David said, springing to his friend’s aid.
“I can’t! I don’t know
how to stop it!” Ralph said, trying to shake Marvin free from the constrictions
of his beard.
Marvin was struggling
trying to break free from the clutches of what he thought was pure
facial-hair-hell, to no avail.
David sprang for his
guitar and began whacking it on Ralph’s beard trying to break it. This didn’t
phase Ralph’s beard in the slightest, but David did notice something. His
fingers were on the frets of the guitar, creating a melody that would bring an
angel to its knees. He held the guitar in his hands and began rocking out.
“It’s great that you
decided to jam and all, maybe you can play at my funeral after this fucking
hairy beast slays me!” Marvin yelled.
Ralph was still trying
to pull his beard off of Marvin but he had no control over his mane. His
efforts were only met with more destruction as his hair was growing and
breaking dishes and furniture in the living room.
David was playing a
heavy metal tune and each riff caused plates to hover in the air. Every tune he
played made something or the other levitate around him. After a short while of
strumming Ralphs beard was loosening up and shrinking to it’s normal size.
“It’s working! Keep
playing!” Ralph said, while his hair returned to him. David’s strumming had
freed Ralph but there was another mishap. Ralph was now under David’s
levitation powers, floating higher and higher towards the roof of the
apartment.
“Holy shit! You guys
are out to kill me! Put me down, you idiot!” Marvin whimpered.
Marvin’s head was
floating dangerously close to the ceiling fan, “Stop playing that damn guitar!”
Ralph said, smacking the instrument out of Davids hands with his beard.
The guitar fell to the
floor and with it so did Marvin. The guitar landed undamaged to the ground
but Marvin bounced off his original landing spot and began ricocheting all over
the living room. Marvin was bouncing around like a rogue basketball. Picking up
pace and slowing down every now and then.
“Stop bouncing!” David
yelled out to Marvin, noticing an open window in the direct path of his
trajectory.
“I would, if I only
knew how.” Marvin said, from four different corners of the room.
Ralph noticed the
window and the perils that could follow shortly after David did. He smacked his
chin outward and sent his beard flying towards Marvin and set him on the
ground.
The three of them sat
down on whatever furniture remained undamaged in their living room, trying to
catch themselves up on what had just happened.
“So Ralph’s got super
hair, you’ve got levitation guitar skills and I’m a fucking pinball.” Marvin
said to David.
“Looks like it…” Ralph
said, “Anyone want a beer?”
The others checked
their clocks. 6:45AM; they nodded.
Ralph chucked his head
towards the fridge, hurling his long locks at it. One side of his hair was
opening the fridge while the other was managing three bottles. His hair snapped
back and the bottles came hurling at his face. Two of them fell to the ground
before making it back to their destination and the other one broke after
colliding with Ralph’s head. Ralph had fallen off the chair to the ground.
David and Marvin
laughed about this at great length while Ralph was still out cold on the ground
in a pile of beer and froth.
“I could try, if you
still want that beer.” David said as he reached for his guitar. Marvin nodded
and hoped for similar theatrics.
David began playing
his guitar while looking at the fridge that was still open, courtesy Ralph’s
beard.
Two pints of beer came
flying outside the fridge towards the two of them. Hovering over the counter
and already broken bottles scattered all over what once looked like an ordinary
apartment.
Ralph was coming to,
he had barely gotten to his feet when David stopped playing the guitar. The
second the notes stopped playing one pint fell to the ground next to David and
another pint landed on Ralph’s head, knocking him back out.
David and Marvin were
laughing again.
“Okay, my turn.”
Marvin said as he got up and walked towards the refrigerator. He picked up two
pints from the fridge and tossed one to David, “Catch!” he said. The bottle of
beer went flying out of Marvin’s hand and missed David by what seemed like a
mile. David ducked knowing he had no chance of catching it. The bottle hit the
wall on the far side of the living room, but instead of shattering under impact
it just bounced off that wall and began ricocheting in a similar fashion to
what Marvin was doing earlier. Marvin noticed the bottle was coming his way and
leaped out of the way, beer bottle in hand. The second Marvin hit the ground,
his beer bottle went flying out of his hand and onto the wall in front of him,
shortly after that the bottle bounced of the wall and smacked him on the chin,
knocking him out.
David who was now
pointing and laughing profusely at the days happenings was taken by surprise
when the other bottle flew onto him and hit him square in the gonads.
The three of them were
out cold, in a world of pain when Dr. Acula walked in the front door.
He took a look around
the apartment and noticed furniture broken, plates shattered, beer pooling up
all over the place and three knocked out superheroes who had now, unknowingly
pissed themselves. He walked to the refrigerator, picked up the one remaining
pint of beer and opened it. He took a sip and said, “The hopes of the entire
world lie in the hands of these urine soiled fools. At least now I know what
their powers are.” He resumed drinking his beer. Just then three armed guards
walked into the apartment.
“We heard a lot of
crashing and screaming, what the hell happened here?” one of them said.
Dr. Acula sighed, “We’ve
been watching the whole thing, the noise started half an hour ago, where the
hell were you’ll! This could have been a serious security issue! I should
report you to the Attorney General!” he said.
“Erm, sorry boss… We
were across the hall smoking a joint.” Said the armed guard.
“Oh… If that’s the
case… Do you have any left?” Dr. Acula asked.
The guard nodded.
“To the hallway!” Dr.
Acula said, “looks like these guys are going to be out for a while.”
Fin.
