Sparkplug and Talon: book one

 

Sparkplug and Talon

 

It was a gorgeous summer’s day and Tom Plex was bouncing on the trampoline.

Suddenly his watch buzzed.

Tom glanced down at his watch to find that it displayed the number two, GPS coordinates, and, in all caps, the word MISSION.

Tom ran inside and ran to his sister’s bed room, “Sally,” he said.

“I already saw it,” Sally said calmly.

The number two meant that there was a mission for both of the siblings, the GPS informed them where the mission was, and the word MISSION was exactly like it sounds.

Tom and Sally were siblings, best friends, and they had a fantastic secret. Both siblings were super heroes!

Tom posessed powers of electricity; he could fly, shoot lightning, and, on occasion,  could make things out of lightning like a rope.

Sally’s powers were that she could turn into five different animals; they were a peregrine falcon, a common swift, a cougar, a dolphin, and a monkey.

Tom’s super hero name was Sparkplug and Sally’s was Talon.

The siblings raced down the stairs and out the door.

Sally yelled back into the house, “bye mom, Tom and I are going to the park and we will be there for a while.”

“Okay,” the kid’s mom replied.

The kid's parents were not aware of her kid's powers. The kids believed that with their powers it was their duty to protect their city and they couldn't do that if their parents wouldn't let them.

Tom pressed a button on his watch and instantly, he wore a suit like Spiderman's except that it was electric blue with a yellow lightning bolt on the right shoulder.

Sally jabbed at her watch and her suit appeared. It was like Black Widow's in the Avenger's movies but it didn't have the red symbol and it was the color of a cougar's fur.

Tom jumped on to the roof of a house a soared in to the air.

A falcon joined him.

Tom streaked to the bank and landed on the roof.

Tom landed on the roof and thought.

By the time Sally (in falcon form) landed on the roof by him, Tom had a plan all formed in his brain.

Tom whispered his plan in his sister’s ear.

Sparkplug (Tom) jumped down off the roof and walked in the door.

Three robbers were stuffing wads of cash into bags and there were seven people tied and gagged in a corner.

Sparkplug said, grinning, “You know, it’s not nice to steal.”

The robbers spun around.

Sparkplug shocked the thieves just hard enough for them to be frozen for a moment or two.

 “Hey, Talon,” Sparkplug called.

A cougar leapt through the open door and growled menacingly.

The thieves started to stir and one pulled out a gun.

Sparkplug picked one up with his lightning rope and through them across the room, the impact knocked them unconscious.

Talon (in cougar form) pounced on the other two.

Sparkplug lassoed the unconscious thief, and flew at five hundred miles per hour and landed outside the police department. He landed and pressed a button on his watch that would make his voice deeper so that the police wouldn't remember his voice. Tom then marched right into the police department.

“Uh, hello,” Tom said unsure of himself.

A police man sitting at the desk leaped to his feet like a jackrabbit and unholstered his pistol, aiming it at the ounconcious thief's head. Do you know who that is?” He asked.

“I guess so," Tom replied. "I caught him."

“Stay here,” the officer said, eyes wide. The officer took the robber to the prison.

Tom did not stay there. He walked out the door and scratched his neck before he flew to the bank.

Tom dashed into the bank to find a bird being stuffed into a cabinet. It was Talon. Sparkplug flew inches from the ground and struck the robber trying to capture the bird on the neck. The thief yelped and dropped to his knees. Tom made a lightning rope with only a little bit of shock and hog tied the man. "Don't move," Sparkplug warned. If you do that rope will shock you.

He and Talon (in eagle form) took the other two robbers to the prison.

They walked in just as the officer came back.

“Goodness gracious!” exclaimed the officer, and then he took the two other robbers to the prison and thank the kids repeatedly, giving each of them a hundred dollar bill.
