Metal belt of the fearless

''Cool bike!'' Louie called to his friend that was a year younger then himself. ''Gee, you think it looks sorta out of shape '' Lamar shook his head and kicked the pedals ''yup, your right maybe we can get someone to fix bikes like yours'' Louie was ten and Lamar was nine. They lived side by side almost like twin houses in the City Philly. ''Shh you here that?'' asked Louie, he stopped short on his bike because the racket was so loud. ''Oh boy! dogggsss! come on!'' shouted Lamar he jumped off his bike and rushed to the corner of a tall building and disappeared.    

''Lamar, come back!'' yelled Louie after him. He was mad because Lamar always left him to see street dogs fight. Sometimes they were huge American terrors with fierce canines  or small ones  with glittering eyes either way, Lamar always watched them from behind a metal garbage can or car. ''Man come back!'' called Louie again it was no use Lamar was not any time soon going to answer him so Louie angrily threw his bike down  and left it beside Lamar's bike. 

Metal belt of the fearless

''Lamar, Lamar come on! no trick's!'' Louie called and then something made his jaw drop low. There stood at least seven or six line's of boy's waiting for some thing but what?.. ''Keep it moving!'' a boy with a freckled face and fired color hair stand's there ''what do you mean?'' Louie asked but quickly ran to a line where he saw a familiar brown hair boy. 

''Lamar is that you?'' ''I guess it wasn't dogs '' Lamar said kind of in a smooth voice.

Then a boy behind them said ''hey name's Clark '' he had black hair all braided up and he had a white sweatshirt and brown soldier pant's he also had rubber boot's that were black and on his waist a metal belt. ''Well,  I'm Louie and  Lamar said ''names Lamar'' ''well you know that boy Lucas with red hair he's the bully along with Teresa better keep your distance Clark told them seriously." 

Medal belt of the fearless

''Yes, well !'' Louie glanced at Lamar ''what are these boy lining up for you know?!'' Louie was starting to lose his patience because Lamar interrupted him. Clark pointed to the some old mattresses lying in a heap of four. ''They look like they were chewed by a monster'' Lamar said in disgust  he made his face and mouth close tightly. '''Or from the trash!'' Louie said not intending that they were in fact from the trash. 

''They are! and we jump on them and flipped'' Clark said ''what!'' Lamar cried in shock ''you know  back and front, sideways turners''. All this sounded very strange and new that Louie said ''yea I'm getting out of this place!'' ''me too!'' Lamar said with him. '' The more boy's less Teresa  and beside

Lucas alarm's her! '' Clark stopped them and Lamar looked above the boy's heads' and saw  the only red one in their row. ''Like I said I'm out of here!''  Louie repeated  

Metal belt of the fearless

Then Louie ran thinking that Lucas was only half his age. Lamar followed his friend. ''Hey!  Teresa lose one's over there  '' called Lucas and just then in front of them stood a girl. She was not half Lamar's age and was three time's Louie age. She had black hair in two braids' and a shirt. ''She must be a teenager!" Lamar whispered to Louie. ''Hey you too, name's Teresa and well... where are you going? '' she asked.

Lamar stood quiet as a lark he did not know how to respond. Louie was not going quit but he was not afraid . She then pushed them . Lamar  fell on top of them and stumbled about like a deer.  ''HAHAH!'' Teressa laughed because it looked funny and some boy's peeked out and saw  they were in trouble but they were to afraid to stand up to Teresa .

Metal belt of the fearless

AT that very moment Clark knew it was time to use his secret weapon against the girl. Terresa was a full time bully that liked beating other boy's up who where nine or in this case ten. Clark was twelve and took his belt from his waist  and with one blow KABLAM! he smacked Terresa. She tried to snatch the belt away and planned to smack Clark but it was just the opposite. Clark flung his metal belt around Teressa and she screamed loudly . He did it till she backed away and all the boy's cheered. ''Yaaa Clark! he took down Terresa!''. 

Clark tore up a bully twice his own age but he knew Bravery was also strong. Lucas ran away following a very embarrassed teenager. Then  Clark looked down at Lamar and Louie. ''Are you alright guys?'' asked Clark ''man you were awesome! '' Lamar yelled he was so relieved to be saved by belt rather then smacked with it. ''You were great man it's nice to have a buddy like you to stick around'' Louie said proudly. Then Clark thought he'd like two best pal's like Louie and Lamar. So that day three boys' were three friend's. Clark, Lamar, and Louie.

''Ah man!'' cried Lamar ''it's broken''. Lamar's bike handle bar broke right off he set himself on the ground. ''Well I guess I'm not riding with Clark and Louie any time soon. Lamar was so disappointed because last week Clark invited him and Louie to  bike riding  and promised them it was going to be awesome. ''Hey! Lamar guess what...  oh man your bike it's...'' ''broken!'' said Lamar to Louie ''that's great!'' Louie exclaimed. Lamar felt like yelling at the top of his lung's but some reason he waited to hear what his friend would say ''it better be good!''

Lamar crossly said ''Clark he's a genius he can fix and even make your bike better! Iceman he did it to Iceman's old one it looks' like a wonder come check it out!'' Louie burst out and grabbed Lamar's hand and took him to Clark. ''Hey guy's!'' Clark said and put his metal screwdriver down. He shook each one's hand ''hey Clark Lamar his bike it's busted think you can fix it?'' Luau asked ''yea can ya?'' Lamar added eagerly. Clark didn't answer. He just picked his tool up and asked them to show him where the bike was at.

Clark grabbed some screw's from his pocket and began to get at work. Lamar heard noise and thumping.  The street was not empty but Lamar at least expected car's. But no what stood there was boy's. Seventy where standing their they all where clapping and whistling hard with their lips or a actual whistle either way it was loud, Louder than a airplane, louder than a bird, louder than Superman! Lamar covered his ears' of how loud it was Louie just smiled.

Clark turned and that's the exact time  the boy's wanted  then a boy came among  the crowd he said and every one said all together ''Yea! Clark! he's Superman no, no Superboy!'' others' shouted ''he's the boy of steel! he's stronger then Teresa''. Clark waved at them his superman wave and told them ''if you need protecting I'm here to save you!''. Then something surprising happened so surprising in fact  Louie and Lamar jumped back. There stood Terresa she stood tall and nodded her head in respect.

And disappeared from the crowd. Clark nodded his head in approval and yelled ''Philly is a safer city!''. ''Oh yea Lamar! here's your new and approved bike'' Clark showed Lamar his bike. Lamar's jaw dropped but he closed it fast. There stood in front of him a bike it's same color blue but it was polished  the rust was all gone it had it's handle bar back on but it had soft rubber where you hold it at and even a golden bell that dinged. Lamar barley could believe it was his own his very own bike. ''Enjoy!'' Clark smiled.

All the boy's stood there and where amazed all of a sudden the crowd burst into shout's and yells ''man what a bike hey Clark could you build that just for me like that! no me first! Iceman you had your turn!  Jason it's mine!''. All the boy's where in a up roar of excitement. Then a boy came running past the crowd. He had brown hair cut short and a shirt and pant's. The crowd went silent as the the boy approached.

Clark looked at him. ''Please, can you help me! I I know your superboy and all'' Clark thought it was Terresa bullying again ''I'll smack her with my metal belt!'' Clark thought but the boy said ''It's another boy he he took my favorite dump truck! Rusty''. That's the first time Clark, Lamar, and Louie heard of the toy thief.  Other reports where going around about missing trucks, action's figures, and dinosaur's. Rumor's at the beginning of week said it was a evil a scientist stealing toy's for his experiment's. 

And even at one point the boy's thought it was Lex Luthor who was behind the scheme's. One day that week Clark along with Louie  and Lamar went to the house every one said the thief was hiding at. Clark banged at the door and yelled '' thief inside this shelter come out! we got you surrounded''. Then a woman came out. She looked like she just moved in because she was holding cardboard boxes and containers. ''Oh mi (oh my).  this is the cuatro (fourth) ring  today first it was the correo (mail) deliver twice then it was uno (one) boy who thought this was his house then you! '' she complained.

Clark gulped he had not expected a grown person to come. ''Well Miss I'd like to report robbery's  caused by your son!'' he sounded like the police. '' Vaya saber  tu' (oh I know you) or heard of you any way! your that boy who tore my girl up! get off my front steps before I ring your parent's a not muy  amigable ( not so friendly)phone call. The three boy's stood there in shock! that woman was Teresa's mom!  So who was the Toy thief?

Down again!

Louie,  sat on his porch playing with his only toy he had a dump truck. ''Vroom vroom! time for another load!'' Louie, dumped a pile of dirt on his porch . Dump truck was his favorite toy and  only one but he still liked it. ''Louie!  come inside for lunch!'' Miss Vicky called her son in for his lunch. Louie thought for a second ''hmm should I leave dump truck outside or inside ah it's ok he can soak some sun'' and he left it in plain sight. '' Mom I love my truck!'' Louie said stuffing a Lettuce and cheese sandwich in his mouth. ''Oh, I know you play with it every day!'' 

Down again 

Miss Vicky was putting broccoli to cook for Mr. Thomas's lunch. ''How's your friend the new one, Clank or, something how's  he?''   Miss Vicky asked while sprinkling cheese on, top. ''Oh his name is Clark he's a great dude! The four days' ago at least the whole world came to thank him for...'' ''taking down Terresa?'' Miss Vicky guessed. Louie, stood shocked ''how did you know that mom?" he asked in surprise. ''Oh it's simple children talk  and, you hear how's Lamar?'' she asked without looking up.  

''He's good I think him and Clark are preparing our bag's for bike riding he told me, that just this morning'' Louie drank his milk up in seven gulp's. ''Oh? yea well be back by seven tonight me and, your father are going out and, a new sitter is coming here to watch you and, your little brother Jimmy'' Miss Vicky  put the food in a pot to boil. ''Yes mom and..''  then Louie heard a sound outside it sounded like dragging his mom had not heard because the pot and, oven timer was screaming so was Jimmy.

Down again

Louie  ran outside and there he saw from the corner of his eye a blue shirt with pink flowers and brown short's. ''No!'' Louie yelled his truck was gone! '' I forgot about that nasty TOY Thief was around'' now Louie lost his most loved toy. Louie watch then rang it was the timer he set for meeting Clark and, Lamar at the end of Baker street.  So he ran on saying ''I'll get that truck back I know Clark will have some sorta plan''. He ran past truck's and, car's driving madly or at least would have been driving if it weren't for traffic. 

As Louie ran he, met Clark and, Lamar they were waving and both shook his hand. ''You ready?'' Lamar asked and then said '' come on! Clark has an awesome  place!'' So Louie grabbed his bike it was leaning on the side of the building of Baker street. It was there because on there way to Baker street Clark and Lamar picked up Louie's bike then Lamar's. ''Let's role!'' Clark told them and, they were gone. They rode past busy streets'. Then for quite sometime after riding on the last street they were on the country rode's.

Down again 

''Oh man! look buck's!'' Louie pointed out. Huge buck's with the largest antler's you ever saw where jousting each other. They smacked and, pushed and rammed. ''Wow awesome! you see this guy's?'' Lamar said in a low tone. ''Yea! that one on the left can be Luthor and, on the right that bigger one is superman!" Lamar told them and, both two boy's glanced at their friend  Clark who looked as if he were superman (or boy). ''Whoa look at those hoof's there huge!'' Clark said then he rode off saying ''co mon! I know a super short cut!''.

Lamar rode slowly  off he was thinking of the time Clark saved them. Louie was thinking about his dump truck and, rolled his fist up. ''Hey Lamar'' ''yea Lue what?'' Lamar responded quietly ''that thief the toy...'' then Clark called them because they were way behind.  '' Comin!''  and, they put their pedal  to the metal! ''This is the spot!'' Clark told them once they arrived. Lamar wrinkled his nose ''all I see his a hill'' Clark shook his head and told them to look up. 

down again 

They looked up and, saw it, was like a mountain! It, was green with moss and two of  the largest trees' grew there. Right at the bottom they were as tall as the twin towers'. ''Wow those trees' are...'' ''amazing right?'' Clark said looking at them. Louie looked at Clark his face had a dreamy expression . ''Is there something special about them?'' Louie asked ''what oh the tree's na!  there just tree's it's the friend's I have that are special'' Clark told him Louie  smiled and, Lamar did too he heard what they were talking about. 

''An any way let's ride!'' So they tried riding up but Lamar fell twice down luckily not his bike following! So they hand rolled it up. ''Ahh I'm exhausted!" Lamar puffed ''man I'm beat!'' Louie huffed. ''But it was worth it guy's look down never mind ride down!'' Clark yelled as he rode down the steep hill. ''Oh man look'' when they looked down it was so high it felt like standing on the top of a airplane . Lamar felt like flying into a thousands' pieces'. ''Let's go Lamar meet you at the B O T T O M !'' Louie  called after him.

down again

Lamar was the last one up there. ''I can't na I can't! I'm going to die!" he thought horrified. Then he said he'd ride so he did but as he rode, his bike hit a rock and, it made him loose control he was spinning all over the place like crazy! Clark laughed ''good one Louie'' then he saw Lamar coming down. In a instant Clark  acted quickly climbing the hill with his bare hands'. Then put his body in front if the steal bike banging it against his body and Lamar flipped right out. With the last of his breath he yelled to Louie who was standing down the hill ''catch him!''

Clark held Lamar in his arms' and, gently let him role into the arms' of Louie. ''Lamar are you alright?'' Louie  asked ''yea Lou I'm fine but...''Clark came tumbling down the hill (with the bike following close behind him) Now Louie ran up the hill as if he had an extra boost of speed. He caught the bike before it crushed Clark on his head! Clark lay limp as a rag doll down the hill. And Louie yelled to Lamar ''drag him, the bike is tumbling down!''

Hurt or Gain?

''Clark oh Clark speak to me!'' cried Lamar after Louie came sliding down the hill like a toboggan. ''Mm ah my leg!'' Clark exclaimed in pain. He had a big scar on his leg blood gushed out like a fountain spout . ''Oh your going to die!'' cried Lamar in tears'.  ''Calm down Lamar I've survived a water fa... '' ''ahh where's  Louie'' Clark asked but Lamar was crying. ''Here I am Super boy!'' Louie joked as he came toward Clark. He lifted him  with one hand.

He ripped his shirt and, wrapped it around the injured area . ''Thanks'' Clark barely managed  to stand. ''Here lean on me'' Louie offered but Clark turned down his offer he told him they need to see if   Lamar was okay and, Louie broke a sturdy stick for Clark to lean on. So they did and Lamar said he was. ''Let's go!'' Clark told them but Lamar had no bike to ride. It rolled down the hill and flew into a thousand pieces' ''that's how I felt'' Lamar thought. So Clark leaned him his own bike to ride. ''Oh I can't! your hurt you need it more than I do!" Lamar said but Clark told them he'll do just fine.

Hurt or Gain?

So they started the long trip home. When they arrived at Louie's house he saw his parent's leaving. When he walked in he saw that same woman who was Teresa's mom! ''Hu?'' ''oh you where with that boy who rang my doorbell the other day    Aloha Ahiahi  (good evening)  '' she said ''my name is Alna , Miss Alna'' ''Aloha!'' Louie knew some Hawaiian  too from his uncle. ''Oh I see you speak some   Hawaiian too and, oh you have a cut''. Louie looked down at his leg's there was a small cut. ''What have you been doing playing on the twin towers? Tetto run and get me a bandied from the closet'' she said.

When the boy came he was wearing a blue shirt with pink flowers and brown short's He was the one who stole Louie's favorite toy in the whole world! ''You! thief you nasty old boy give me back my toy!'' Louie shouted. ''No name - calling! stop, it stop it now! sit on the couch and say `a` ohe mea! (nothing)'' demanded Miss Alna . So Louie and Tetto sat down '' Mahalo (thank you) for your truck'' he whispered and Louie was even madder. '' hau' oli (happy! trail's'' Tetto called as he left. Louie was mad because Tetto stole his favorite truck but he planned to get it back. 

Hurt or gain?

The next morning Louie told Clark all about the thief. ''Well we have to do something'' Clark demanded so he drew a plan in the dirt. ''Tetto e maikai   (be good)  mommy's going away! when your 'anakala (uncle) Timonen   comes just open the puka (door)'' said Miss Alana to Tetto. After munching on a cookie he heard the doorbell ring. When he came to it over 9 kid's where standing there. '' he aha k`eia ola  (What is this?)'' Tetto ran out the back door yelling '' `a`  ole` oe  e lawe ola ia` u (you'll never take me alive)!'' ''After him!'' yelled Clark  and added ''and whatever he said someone translate'' ''he said you'll never take him alive!'' Louie told him. ''Well we will tell him we will and we'll make him pay''  '' e uka makou  `ia ia! (we will and we'll make you pay)'' Louie shouted.

All the boys ran after Tetto  like rhino's they had pretend weapon's. Tetto hid behind a bush and, saw a racking stick and, when Clark came around Tetto smacked him with it. ''Ah get him!'' So the chase lasted till Tetto surrendered and, gave up his stolen goods. Once again Clark saved the day. Everyone cheered and, shouted and laughed all but Tetto. ''What should we have to celebrate Clark's third victory?" asked Jason. ''I have cake mix it's good'' Tetto offered and Clark and the rest if the boy's could not turn that down. Tetto said he would apologies through cake mix. 

Hurt or Gain?

The sweet cake mix crunched in their teeth it was like cake flavored sugar it was dry but melted in your mouth. Tetto brought them seven and they all were satisfied. Then the doorbell rang again. It was Tettos uncle. Uncle Timone  was more surprise to see boy's munching on cake mix. That day Clark, Lamar, and, especially Louie gained more than they got hurt for! 

Army men

Clark dug in a large chest. The floor was dressed in pant's, short's, sweat shirts, and, pairs of shoes. ''Ah here you are!'' Clark found a white sweat shirt and army pants. ''Where's the other two?'' Clark ran downstairs' and, found two more army pants. ''Good! now for my boot's'' he said in mumble's. Clark  was now dressed to play his night time game. Army men. Clark was having his breakfast pancakes made by his friend's  mom Lois. He was at her house because her father was a general and, owned the perfect clothing.

Army men

    Lois's mother allowed Clark to look and, see what he wanted to use but he must return it  by tomorrow. ''Yes Miss Lane'' he told her boots on and ran out the door. Miss Lane watched Clark and said to her daughter Lois, ''your friend Clank he's nice when he's not doing crazy stuff'' ''oh he is!'' Lois said then ate her stack of pancakes. 

He would have ran but because he had a white shirt on and dust would stain though it would look more like army wear. ''Hey Louie, you home?'' Clark hoped he was. Then Miss Vicky came out she was holding Jimmy. ''Oh hello Clank!''. ''Hello ma,am my name is Clark'' Clark hoped Lue was there. ''Oh sorry now Clark Louie is outback'' Miss Vicky pointed to the back and Clark went there and found his pal Louie.

Army men

''Hey Louie! here's your change'' Clark tossed him his pant's and shirts ''neat how'd you get this stuff it's real'' Louie said after he'd finished  changing he tapped his watches screen ''it's 9:30! that Lamar better be up''  Clark added ''or he'll miss out!" . As they walked down to Lamar's place they had a wonderful  talk. ''Hey Clark, how's your leg?'' was Lou who started the conversation. ''Oh, it's good my older brother took me for stitches''' Clark looked down  at his leg.

''Wow really! can I see?'' Lou asked ''sure it's here'' Clark showed him a long skin colored line. Lou, thought it was like Frankenstein's scars. ''So how's Lois, is she good?'' asked Louie while trying to stay in between the sidewalk lines. ''Oh she's moving to Canada next month so we have to find other resources for our army games'' Clark told him with his hands in his pocket.  . ''And...''' Lou stumbled across an old stump.

Army men

''Whoa! Lou you okay?'' Clark helped Louie up and, they where at, Lamar's house. A boy with brown  hair and, brown eyes stood there smiling it, was Lamar. ''I always knew one day you'll stumble about!" Lamar joked then Clark tossed him his change and, Lamar went inside to do just that (change). ''Hey Clark is Lois taking her army gear with her?'' Lou asked then Clark's blue eye's  lit up ''why I believe she's not maybe we could stop by and, ask!''. The boy's called Lamar from his open window.

''Sure I still have to eat breakfast any way!'' Lamar agreed so off once again Clark and, Luau. ''Clark?'' Lue said after a bit of silence ''when you said you survived a river fall was it true have you really been near one?'' ''of coarse! I go all the time'' Clark replied . ''I could take you next time maybe in about two week's'' ''why so long?'' Lou asked impatiently ''because I'm helping Lois pack her thing's your invited to help me'' Clark smiled.  

Army men

Louie did not feel or liked packing boxes because it took long but he liked being with Clark and would help him. ''Oh we're here!'' Clark said in delight. ''We  are?'' Louie amazed. Lois had one of the most Grandest house throughout the whole city. It was a very large house indeed and very pretty. In Fact real roses hung by the windows and a lovely flower garden was in the back. Lois came out wearing her lovely smile. Her long dark hair hung in round curl's.

''Hi Lo!" Clark said in his cheery voice. ''Hey Supe's!'' Lois called back. Lamar smuggled giggles. Lamar introduced himself and asked ''Can we use or have you dad's army clothes?''

Army men

''Oh sure my dad's not using them any more because he retired'' Lois told him ''i hope he come's back soon''. Lou and, Clark  looked at each other ''why? ?'' Lois said ''two days before my father retired, canada's ambassador presented my dad with medal's  " Lois said then she took step's up her house and said ''good day!'' and shut the door. When Clark and Louie walked home they did not say a word.

''Hey guy's! how's everything?'' Lamar said happily that evening. ''Good, good'' Luau said ''yes everything's great excepted...'' and Clark and Louie told him all about  Lois and her sudden move so Lamar said ''well I have army hat's'' ''great! '' Louie  said and so the game began. It was past 9:00 o clock and it was pitch black  only the street light's remained shining. Three boy's Clark, Loie, and Lamar were soldiers.  They hid behind parked cars and whispered to each other.
