The Beat Goes On
Arabella's POV
I turned fourteen recently, I mean I think I did. When the date that my dad saved/adopted me rolls around, I say I turned a year older. My dad refuses to believe I'm growing up, he still wants me to be six again. It's just dad things.
Anyways, it was fan mail day and all of us were sorting through the massive amounts of mail. Fans constantly send Captain Man and Kid Danger tons of mail everyday, and it's a monster to go through. Even I get mail, and the fans don't even know my identity. It's crazy to be honest.
Schwoz came out of the elevator with more mail. "Hey! Here's another sack!"
"No way." I say with disbelief. "More fan mail?"
"Yeah." Schwoz said and opened the sack of mail. "Captain Man and Kid Danger are very popular in this town. Not to mention, hundreds of people wanting to know Bella's identity."
"Tell me about it." I say and toss a letter behind me. "It's annoying."
My dad walked out. "Schwoz. I found another one of your diseased eggs in my tanning bed."
I looked up and saw my dad with an egg.
"Tanning bed?"
"Don't ask." I mutter back to Charlotte.
"He's not diseased. Yet." Schwoz protested and my dad sniffed the egg.
"What are you guys talking about?" Charlotte asked them.
"Schwoz gets his jollies by blasting eggs with all kinds of weird radiation so he can see what happens when they hatch." My dad explained.
"It's fun to create mutants." Schwoz objected.
"Yeah." I scoffed. "For you."
"It must've been really fun for your mom." My dad argued. "Oh!"
"Hey!" Schwoz protested.
"Ooo." Charlotte and I grin and my dad tosses Schwoz his egg.
"I want that egg of this property." My dad instructed.
"Hey, you guys." I turned and saw Henry holding a bottle of whip cream. "Somebody left this can of whip cream in the weapons room."
Schwoz rushes over to Henry and snatches the bottle. "Da, da, da! Be careful with this!"
"Why?" Henry asked and I stand up from the couch.
"I show you. Hey, Ray!"
My dad turned to us. "Yeah, what's up?"
I giggled and smiled at Henry. "Get ready."
Schwoz fired the laser at my dad and completely burned his shirt until it was tattered and black. My dad yelled in agony and the four of us laughed at him.
"Dang it, Schwoz!" My dad yelled.
"Relax, you're indestructible." I assured him.
"Yeah, well, my shirt wasn't!" My dad snapped and Henry's phone beeped.
"Oh man, I'm late for dinner. I got to get home." Henry tells us before walking toward the elevator.
"Bye, Hen." I say and he waved at me.
"See ya, Bella."
Charlotte got up from the couch to do something and I took her spot. I noticed the box on the table and opened it up, I pulled out the item and it was a white and blue cake with candles.
"Hey, guys, look!" I smile and everyone turned to me. "One of your fans sent you both a birthday cake."
"But it's not our birthdays." My dad reasoned and I rose an eyebrow.
Suddenly Henry yelled at me. "Airy, move!"
I quickly got up from the couch and Charlotte pulled me away from the cake. Henry ran over, grabbed Schwoz, and unnecessarily punch him the face.
"Ow!"
Henry took the whip cream can and blasted the cake with the laser, causing the cake to explode. Charlotte and I leaned back with shock and I looked up.
What the heck?!
"Ow!" Schwoz cried.
"Hey. That cake was for both of us!" My dad objected. "You had no right!"
"Henry..."
"I-I saw something on it." Henry remarked, cutting me off.
"Why was I punched in the face?" Schwoz asked Henry.
Henry pulled a wireless device out of the cake and my eyes widened.
"This was inside that cake." Henry said.
My dad inspected the device.
"It's a wireless video camera." My dad informed us. "You know what that means."
"Yeah, it doesn't require wires." Henry remarked and I rolled my eyes.
"It means somebody's trying to spy on us here in the Man Cave." Charlotte explained.
"I wonder who." I say with confusion.
"I wonder why you punched me in the face." Schwoz questioned with irritation.
"Guys!" My dad exclaimed. "We need to figure out who sent that cake with this video camera inside."
All of us began to wonder and each of us made faces as we thought.
——
The following day, I was on my way home from Charlotte's house. I go over to her house often, especially when my dad is doing something weird with Schwoz.
I was in the park, texting my dad when I noticed an odd magic duo was performing in the park. I tried my best to avoid them, but the woman grabbed me and pulled me over.
"Perhaps this young lady can help us out."
"What, me?" I asked, removing my earbuds.
The man, who looked oddly familiar, pulls out a deck of cards. "Please. Pick a card." A few cards fell out of the deck. "Any card."
"I really need to get home." I tell the strange man.
"Pick a card!"
"Fine." I sighed and picked a random card.
The man puts the cards away. "And now that she's chosen her card, we place the girl into the magical can of trash!"
The man and the woman lead me over to a trash can and place me inside.
"Now, wait a second!" I objected as they close the lid. "This isn't magical at all!" I couldn't open the can because they locked it and I huffed. "Excuse me! Mr. Magician Man!"
I heard the man talking, but I was too busy panicking and being rolled away. I got flipped onto my side and yelled as I got shoved forward.
"Hey!" I yelled and could no longer hear anyone. "It smells in here!"
Suddenly, I felt like I was being driven away.
I think I got kidnapped.
——
"Hey! Hey!" I called out to Dr. Minyak.
Turns out, Dr. Minyak and his assistant were the ones who kidnapped me and then placed me inside a box of fruit punch. I could call my dad because my hands were inside the box.
"Yes, you have a question?" Minyak said.
"Dude, I have a lot of questions!" I snapped. "Starting with, why did you kidnap me and why am I inside a big box of fruit punch?!"
"You should know why I kidnapped you!" Minyak protested, approaching me. "You're Captain Man's daughter."
"What makes you think that?" I asked him and he smiles.
"Because the Toddler told me."
"The Toddler doesn't know crap!" I glare. "He's an immature, old butt rag!"
"But this image proves that you know Captain Man am Kid Danger." Minyak pulled up an image of me in the Man Cave.
"Okay, fine!" I sigh. "I'm Captain Man's daughter! What do you want from me?"
I told him my identity because I know my dad and Henry will take Minyak down and erase his and his assistant's brains.
"I want you to destroy Captain Man and Kid Danger!" Minyak proclaimed.
I laughed. "Sure! Okay! Just let me out of this giant juice box and I'll destroy them right after I finish my lunch!"
"Oh, I'll release you soon, after I take control of your mind through the use of musical brain warping." Minyak explained.
"Musical brain warping?" I scoffed. "That's not a thing."
"It is to a thing!" Minyak protested and I gave him a look. "You see, by playing the right combination of musical chords combining the keys of f-minor and d-flat, backed with the right funky beat, the human mind opens up like a thirsty sponge into which I can place instructions through clever rap lyrics which I've written myself."
Music started to play and I was in complete disbelief.
"So, you're gonna take control of my brain by rapping?" I asked him.
"Oh, I won't be rapping." Minyak denied. "For that, I've hired unknown hip hop artist Li'l Biggie!"
A small kid with dreads walked out and I rolled my eyes.
"Earplugs!" Minyak ordered and the three of them placed earplugs in their ears. Minyak presses played on the music again.
"Now, Li'l Biggie, rap! Let my lyrics flow!"
Li'l Biggie started to rap and my brain became all fuzzy and had a heavy feeling to it. I started to twitch vigorously and was losing control of my brain and my body. It was an uncomfortable feeling.
I felt different. I felt dangerous.
I felt like I needed to destroy Captain Man and Kid Danger.
Third Person POV
Li'l Biggie finished his rapping and Arabella was completely out of it and her face was stoic.
"Where's my seventy-five bucks?" Biggie asked Minyak and Cohort.
"Here." Cohort handed Biggie his money and he shoved the microphone in her hands.
"Peace."
He left the room and Minyak rushes over to the box of liquid that encased Arabella.
"So, now that you've taken control of her mind, she's going to go destroy Kid Danger and Captain Man?" Cohort asked her boss as he messed with the machine that was connected to the box of liquid.
"Not yet. First, I must amplify her physical strength." Minyak replied as he typed on the machine. He backed away from the machine and looked at Arabella. "Now, my young friend, I give you 4.9 million nuclear gigavolts of girl power!"
He switched on the machine and Arabella's body began to vibrate and the liquid began to bubble up. Arabella could feel all the power being injected into her body and she felt incredibly stronger. Minyak thoroughly enjoyed seeing his little minion get stronger and stronger and laughed with joy.
——
Arabella walked into the Man Cave and Henry, Charlotte, Schwoz, and her father were all there. Henry and Charlotte were enjoying Schwoz's guacamole while her dad was pacing back and forth with his untouched guacamole.
All the boys and Charlotte noticed Bella. Bella had sunglasses on and was wearing all black clothes with her hair up in a tight ponytail.
"Cookie!" Ray smiles at his daughter as he approached her. "I'm glad you're home, sweetie! I don't know if you're a guacamole fan, but I made this pretty awesome bowl of my own-"
Bella took the bowl of guacamole and tosses it to the side, breaking it.
"Hey!" Ray exclaimed. "If you don't want to try my guacamole all-OOOOH!" Bella kicked him in the nuts and he crouched over in pain, holding his area. Henry, Schwoz, and Charlotte all cringed in pain and Bella grabbed her father and tosses him into the air. Henry shot up with surprise and everyone watched Ray fall down to the ground on his stomach.
Ray stood up, very dazed and shook his head. "I'm okay... Guys, a little help!"
Bella began to walk torward the boys and Charlotte and they began to back away, but Henry stepped forward to confront Bella.
"Airy, what's wrong with you? How come you're-"
Bella grabbed the sidekick and tossed him over to the elevator doors. Henry stood up and swallowed.
"Okay, Schwoz, Charlotte, one of you talk to her." Henry suggested and Bella turned to the others.
"See ya!"
"Ah!"
Charlotte ran over to the tubes as Schwoz laid down on his back in a dead bug position.
"Up the tube!" Charlotte got shot up the tube, leaving the boys alone with Bella.
"Charlotte!" Henry and Ray called, but she was gone.
"What are you doing?" Ray asked Schwoz.
"I want her to think I'm dead." Schwoz told him and Bella waked over to her father.
"Whoa now, Bella. No need to walk toward me." Ray told his daughter as she backed him up into the chair. "I'm your father, you wouldn't hurt me. You can't physically hurt me anyway..."
"Airy!"
Bella snapped toward Henry as he opens the elevator doors.
"You want to fight me? Come and get me!"
Bella marches toward Henry, and Ray stood up.
"Henry!"
"I got it!" Henry assured him as Bella got closer. Bella reaches for Henry, but he grabs her arm and pulls her into the elevator. He presses the button and the doors closed, before she could escape.
"Hurry, kill the power to the elevator!" Henry called and Ray shuts off the power to the elevator.
"She's in a really bad mood." Henry sighed as they stare at the elevator doors.
"It's worse than that." Ray said. "Something's happened to my daughter and it's not good."
"At least we're safe for a little-"
Suddenly, Bella bursted through the doors of the elevator and broke them down. All the boys yelled in fear and jumped behind the couch and Ray started tossing chips at Bella.
Moments later, Ray leaped over the couch to confront his daughter.
"Alright, now, Arabella-" Bella grabbed his wrist and squeezed it tight, causing him to yell in pain. "Ow, ow, ow!" She threw him down and Henry came over to the young girl.
"Airy!" He grabbed her face and then removed her glasses. "What's happened to you-" He saw her red eyes and backed up as she got closer. "Ah, jeez! No, no! Don't be mad! Want to go get some ice cream or watch Netflix?" Bella grabbed his shirt and head banged him, causing him to fall back onto the table.
"Arabella Manchester! You better listen to your father right now!" Ray yelled at his daughter and she turned to him. He saw her eyes and retracted his statement as she got closer and he moved back. "Or we could talk about this tomorrow. You know what? I'll send you a text!"
Bella chases him into a different room and Ray immediately ran out with Bella behind him.
"Schwoz! Drop the tube!" Ray yells and Schwoz drops the tube on Bella's body. He ran over and flooded the tube with neural neutralizing particles.
"What'd you do?" Ray asked him.
"I flooded the tube with neural neutralizing particles." Schwoz told him.
"So, she can't move?" Ray asked.
"No."
Henry was still affected from the head butt that Bella gave him and couldn't stand correctly.
"Kid, you okay?" Ray asked Henry.
"Yeah, yeah I am." Henry sighed and attempted to stand straight up, but was wobbling around. "I think I just need-Nope." Henry falls forward.
——
Schwoz was measureing Bella's body and brain and Henry and Ray watched with concern. They both care about Bella very much and don't want her hurt, they were worried about her.
Schwoz walked back over to the machine that monitors Bella's brain. Schwoz covered his mouth after he discovered what happened to Bella.
"Bella's brain has been warped!"
"Warped! How?!" Henry asked and Ray was in disbelief.
His little girl's brain was warped.
"By music." Schwoz said.
"You mean musical brain warping?" Ray wondered.
"I said her brain has been warped by music. What else would I mean by musical brain warping?! Schwoz snapped and the boys leaned back.
"So, there's a song stuck in her brain that's making her want to hurt me and Ray?" Henry clarifies.
"Exactly." Schwoz said.
Ray slides up to Henry and Schwoz. "Is there a way you could extract the song from Bella's brain?"
"Yeah, sure, why?" Schwoz shrugged.
"Because if we have the song she heard-" My dad began and Henry joined in. "We could play it backwards!"
"This was my idea!"
"Eh, I said it first!"
"You did not! Who said it first?" Ray asked Schwoz.
"Henry."
Ray lunged himself at Schwoz, but Henry tried his best to contain Ray from hurting him.
——
Schwoz was able to connect to Bella's brain and all her memories were playing on the screen of the machine. Ray and Henry watched the memories play and Ray smiles at all the memories of her when she was little.
"Can you find the song in her brain?" Henry asked Schwoz.
"I'm getting close." Schwoz said and he scrolled to the song that warped Bella's brain.
"Got it!" Schwoz said and raced over to the machine.
"Put it in hologram!" Ray instructed him.
"Kk!"
Li'l Biggie appeared on the hologram.
"Now play it-
"Backwards!" Ray chimed in on Henry's suggestion and Henry gave him a look.
Schwoz played the memory and Biggie sang his song backward. Bella's body began to twitch, she was gaining control of her brain and body again.
"Raise the tube."
Henry listens to Ray and spoke into the remote.
"Tube up."
The tube rose and Bella's body continued to twitch and the boys moved back with fear.
The three of them hoped it worked and Bella was back.
Arabella's POV
"Airy? You alright?"
I shook my head and felt full control over my brain again and I felt normal, sort of. My eyes opened and my dad approached me, but I fell over and my dad and Henry caught me.
"Whoa! Whoa!" They both said and they caught me and I groaned. They led me over to the table and I tripped and banged my head on the table. "Woah!"
Henry sat me up and I just sat there with confusion and pain.
"Now, tell us what happened." My dad said as he rubbed my back.
I rubbed my head and exhaled. "Well, I was over there, then you guys helped me walk over here to this couch."
My brain is still a little fuzzy and I was very dazed.
"No!" Henry groaned.
"Before that." My dad said.
"What happened to your brain?" Schwoz asked.
"Oh. It was..." I sighed and remembered. "Dr. Minyak! He musical brain warped me!"
"And his hot sidekick, Nurse Cohort?" My dad added on and I raised an eyebrow.
"Yeah... they were in a...I think it was motorcycle shop for kids?" I guessed.
"Li'l Bikers!" Schwoz beamed.
"Yes!"
"Well, then." My dad poured himself a piece of gum, before popping it into his mouth. "Henry, I think you know what to chew and blow!"
Henry poured himself a piece. "I think I do!" He paused. "You mean the gum, right?"
"Yeah, I mean the gum."
"I was just checking."
They chewed the gum and blew a bubble. The bubbles popped and they transformed into Captain Man and Kid Danger. I smiled at the sight and nodded.
"Let's go." My dad said and they stood under the tube slots, before encasing themselves with tubes. "Up the tube!"
They got shot up and I inched my neck.
"So, you like Taylor Swift?"
I looked up at Schwoz and raised an eyebrow. "Yeah."
"Yeah, lot of catchy songs." Schwoz agreed and I nodded, before standing up and walking toward my room to take a nap.
I'm not listening to any more music for the rest of the day.
——
And just like that, season 2 has began. So, the next chapter is sort of an original. It takes place of One Henry, Three Girls, but instead it's about Arabella and a boy she likes(not Henry, sorry), and she has trouble with this boy and Ray is not happy that she has a boyfriend. So, she is keeping it a secret and then Henry steps in and helps Bella out when this boy leaves.
It's called Arabella's Boy Troubles.
Also, expect Elevator Kiss to appear this season;)
Btw Airy is pronounced 'air-ee'
