Goddammit, I can’t believe these bastards are back here, where there the fuck is the police when you need them now!

Hiding behind an alley way I poked my head around the side to see a minotaur and a griffon in a parking lot picking a lock on a mustang car. And by car they were trying to steal happened to be my car. Turning my head back I looked at my watch to see if I have enough time to deal with the situation and still punch in on time to start my new job.

For the most part of my day I had a good time. I paid off my bills, got some new clothes, I even got a new job after I got fired from my last job as a mover. And that job being a mover paid good money for my strength that made me more reliable than any minotaur that worked as movers and those bastards are strong, but after just one unhappy customer who was a close friend of my boss made me unemployed the next day.

Still, I’m glad I had enough money that lasted long enough for me to get hired to work at a book store at the galleria mall. What I wasn’t glad for was that I thought it was a smart idea to park my car away from my apartment complex, which was known for its high rate of car theft, and parked it three black away to different parking lot with other cars behind a building where the police usually drive around to arrest any shady criminal trying to steal a car.

I woke up around seven in the morning to walk to my car and my first day starts in the afternoon, so I think I can handle these thugs in about ten minutes. Five minutes, if they decided to attack me before I could try to talk to them in a peaceful manner.

Taking off my back pack I opened it up and rummaged around inside to find my costume.

Sandwich, extra shirt and pants, red scarf, a crumpled five dollar bill, yes!

Finally seeing my grey and black costume (minus my mask I left under my bed) I pulled it out of my backpack and quickly dressed out of my red t-shirt and faded jeans to have a better fit (and extra room since it felt uncomfortable cloths under it), stashed the rest of my belongs behind a dumpster, then walked out the alley way and confronted the two oblivious burglars still trying to steal my car.

“I’m telling you; let me do it I have better hands then your claws.” Said the big minotaur said behind the griffon.

“Fuck man, I’m about ten fucking seconds before I decide to just bust the window open.” The angry griffon told his friends while fumbling around his lock pick.

“How about you both stop what you’re doing, before I have to drag you two to prison myself.” I told them while trying to figure if I should try to put my fists at a fighting stance or cross my arms before they could turn around and see me.

Turning around faster then I imagined I decided to stick with outing my fists on my hips and puffed out my chest out and spoke to them in a deeper voice.

“This is you only warning, step away from the car and you will not be harmed.” I told them sternly.

For about three minutes of silence and staring I thought they decided to stop and apologize for what they were doing.

“Bwa ha ha ha hah aha ha ha!” laughed the both of them.

Ok, apparently I was wrong.

“Who the fucking hell are you?” The still laughing griffon asked wiping a single tear from his eye with his free claw.

“And what the hell is that thing wrapped around your head?” The minotaur pointed at my scarf wrapped around my head as my temporary mask, “this guy over here watches to many hero movies.”

For about another three minutes of laughing at me they both forgot about me and decided to try stealing my car again.

“Hey!” I shouted this time.

Turning their heads at me with a more serious stare they both stopped at trying to pick my car lock and started to circle around me.

“You better back the fuck up, kid,” The griffon said with the incentive of showing his claws, “playing hero is going to kill you.”

“Yeah, starting now, little shit.” The minotaur’s reflexes was fast enough to put me in a head lock and causing me to not move. Then again, I suppose this way they’ll both be surprised of what I’m about to do.

“Hey, get off.” I pretended to struggle from his grip while the griffon slowly walks near me.

“We’re going to tech you a lesson for trying to be a hero, little bitch.” Rearing his claw into a fist he plunged his balled up fist into my gut causing me to pretend that I am in pain from that attack.

“We’re not done yet,” After the gut punch he started to pound my head with a barrage of punches and scratch marks on my costume and scarf that would have left any human covered in blood and bruises made me act like I was in pain till I can get him to run out of stamina and pay him back for his actions only ten time more painful. For about a minute of playing like I’m injured the griffon stops punching me to get a breather from his beatings.

“This time, let’s see how you look now, hero boy, I want to see how ugly you are with what I did to you.” With his claw reaching to my tattered scarf covering my face I sprung to my plan and grabbed his arm before he had time to pull away from me.

“What the- Hey, I thought you were done playing tough guy.” The griffon struggled from my drip. Seeing that his friend is in trouble the minotaur tried to choke me with his massive muscles around my neck, but all he did was make me laugh at how his furry his arms are that kept tickling my chin.

“What the hell are you, some monster freak?” This time his serious domineer morphed into a panicked chicken with how futile he tried from breaking free from my grasp, his wings flapping up and down to try and fly away from me but only making him more tired.

“I think it’s about time you get a time out.” With my other arm I gave the griffon a soft push knocking the wind out of him and was sent flying across the opposite side of the parking lot and landed inside an empty dumpster.

One down, one big dumb fu-

I couldn’t even finfish my thoughts when the big guy swiped my feet and caused me to lay flat on my ass. When I was about get back on my feet I felt a giant pressure on top of my head that caused me to see nothing but gravel.

“You. Mother. Fucking. Freak!” The minotaur shouted and slammed his cloven hooves on my head.

Finally seeing enough dirt for one day I grabbed his right cloven hoof before he had time to stomp on my head and lifted him off the ground and started to toss him around like I was juggling.

“Ahh! Put me down.” He begged.

“Don’t worry; you’ll meet your friend right now. Coby~” With one giant toss In the air I sent him into the same dumpster with his friends and wiped my hands together as a job well done.

“By the time you both woke up the police will arrive and take you both away. Right as soon as I call them.” Walking back to my backpack where I left it I pulled out a few loose change to use a public telephone as an anonymous tip about two thieves caught and put into a dumpster then started to change back into my street clothes when I heard a large explosion coming from down the block.

“The hell is happening?” I asked myself.

Not just five seconds after I said that I heard loud screaming coming from the streets and a hoard of panicked citizens both running and flying away from where the explosion was taking place. After I put on my regular clothes on i ran back to my car, unlocked it and started the engine so I could turn on the radio to hear the news.

“If you’re tuning in now, then you are listening to an emergency news broadcast involving a large gun and magic fight at down town Houston involving the police trying to take down a group of terrorist that have taken refuge in a bank with hostages in tow. We are informed that all citizens should leave the area and leave it to the proper authority.”

“Dammit, it had to be this today of all days.” Taking out my phone I dialed my new boss’s number and left a message about how I am calling in sick and could not make it to work. After I left the message I closed my phone, put all my stuff in my backpack, then started my car and began to drive somewhere else that has less people around.

Need to find a better hiding place before the cops arrive. Maybe the abandoned metal works should do the trick.

Looking at my re-view mirror I looked at my face and remembered that I left my mask at my apartment. Deciding to go home instead of the abandoned factory I made a U-turn around a fast food restaurant and drove all the way home.

Ok, I need to get my mask, fix my costume and then I could help the police subdue the criminals that are trying to start trouble.

Looking at my side mirrors I see police cars and fire trucks starting to arrive in the area, as well as a small group of pegasi and griffons wearing police uniforms too. As soon as I saw the last officer disappear from my field of vision I heard another explosion from the same location where the first explosion happened followed by loud gun shots and screaming.

*Sigh*”Dammit, why does this happen to me?” I said to myself when I parked my car in front of my apartment complex.

Ignoring the forming group of bystanders coming outside of the building I walked to the third floor and entered my apartment. Going into my room I looked under my bed to find my ski mask covered in dust and pizza crumbs (which made me remember that I was drunk a few nights ago eating pizza with my mask on) and cleaned it with some water from my sink.

*Knock* *knock* “Hey, Jonah, get your ass out of here.” My land mare shouted.

“Goddammit,” Packing my mask with the rest of my costume in my backpack and opened my door to see the land mare tapping her hoof on the floor and a pissed look on her face, “Yes, what is it now?”

Now, as many of you don’t know her name is Gold digger and as the name suggest this golden coated earth pony is a money grubbing mare that not only is my land mare, but is also the type of mare that if you are living under her roof and piss her off she will raise you twice the amount you pay for living expenses not to mention her strict she is with the rents, but that’s for another story.

“I got a call from the police saying that all attendance that our living here should evacuate if the trouble escalates to here as well.”

“Yeah, yeah, I will be on my way out,” I told her, “Did you hear what is happening when you talked to the officer?”

“She just told me that it might become uncontrollable and that all attendance should leave, that includes you,” She pointed her manicured hoof at me, “and hurry up, I need to tell the rest of them why they should leave.” After telling me the news she left me alone and banged on another door to tell what’s happening outside.

*Knock* *knock* “Hey, sugar dick, get your ass out here!” She shouted at my next door neighbor.

Did I also forget she is a bit of a sexist when it comes to the opposite sex? Yeah, I’m sure I told you a few sentences ago. Ok, moving on, now.

Closing my door I packed my bag with my costume (which I also forgot to fix) and decided to use my window as my exit since I don’t want to see my land mare keep harassing other dudes. I’m especially glad that my window leads to the back of the building which means no one will see me do this.

“Alley oop!~” With no second thoughts of what might happen I jumped out my window and landed on the ground leaving a mildly big dent on the dirt. Best part of having super strength is also the ability to shrug off physical pain, especially when it comes to falling off tall buildings.

“Ok, now then,” patting down off the specks of dirt off my pants I began to walk back to my car at the front building when I heard my phone receiving a txt message. Taking the phone out of my pocket and opened the message to read what it says.

“It says, ‘you’re fired’,” Taking a few seconds of silence I closed my phone and stared at the clear blue sky above and smiled. “God fucking dammit… Goddammit!” Without thinking I the nearest object next to me and chucked the shit out of it into the sky. After releasing all my anger out I could still see the object that I threw to be a dumpster quickly fading out of my view and into the endless sky above.

*Phew* “I feel slightly better,” With an even bigger smile on my face I walked back to my car and decided that since I no longer have a job to keep my income flowing I have nothing else to lose other than my uncontrollable anger still flowing in side my very being.

“Which means that’s the bad news for the bad guys when they see me,” I said to myself out loud. “Now, if I don’t want to be shot by the cops by mistake I should park my car at the mall with other cars and dress out into my hero gear in an alley, and then bust through the building where the bad guys are holding up and just beat the shit out of them, yeah.”

Sound stupid and reckless when I said it out loud, but I’m too pissed to have any other way of doing it.

“Now, with no other distractions,” Reaching inside my bag to retrieve my costume I sniffed my mask to see of it still smells (which it doesn’t) I stashed it inside my glove compartment and too the rest of my stuff on my passenger seat when I heard another explosion with the added noise of gun fire and magic blasts.

*Inhale* *exhale* “Well, shit. What I wouldn’t want to give for a pair of wings and fly the fuck out of this shit place.”
