On a sunny day with bright blue sky, a boy with his golden scissors wich his dad gave him on his 12th birthday, and went to school.
One day there was this boy called “Max” and he was starting to do some tricks with his scissors.His last trick was good but it landed in the ground crack. He started for few days. He went back to his scissors on Saturday and tried taking it out. But something good happened to him,he saw a silver,flaming eagle which was hovering over him. The eagle shot a flaming feather at him. Then Max felt sleepy. He woke up and went home. He looked in the mirror and found in gold and realised that he had powers. He went to his school on a Sunday morning and got to his scissors and tried pulling the ground apart. But he just couldn’t do it, so he called his friend “Tamuka.” Max called him because Tamuka had recently told him that he had powers. So Tamuka came and helped Max pull the ground apart but there was no result. So they called it a day. The next day, they came back and tried again but there was still no result. But they had a idea that they would power up and try one more time and then... They conquered the ground.
Max and Tamuka walked together to there secret tree house and had dinner. There was this important message to Tamuka. “You can’t always be the man or hero of the day. Always have because if plan A doesn’t work, go to plan B.” Tamuka knew exactly what Max meant. Couple of days later, they found out that they can turn into normal and powerful humans. So it all began as super heroes.
