THE LOST BOY
BE YOURSELF
Every kid wants to grow up and become like somebody.
Some of them want to be like their parents. Others want to be like their favorite superhero.
I want to grow up to become an actual hero, not like an adult or their stupid creations.
Someone like Peter is who I want to be. He could beat up any grown up or made up superhero easily.
I’ve seen him in action fighting off those Jolly Roger losers. I watched as he beat up guys twice his size before knocking them out cold.
No flash, all business. Pow! Bif! Boom! All of them were dropped with well placed punches and kicks.
That’s what I want to do here in OSW. I want to prove a kid can do anything an adult can and make myself a hero like Peter.
Actually no, not like Peter. I want to be better than Peter.
I want to be someone who won’t abandon his group because some girl came into his life. I want to be a hero that stays true to his word, no matter what happens.
Of course, not everyone wants to be a hero. They’d rather be nobody like Cometa.
Sorry, I meant Cometa the Fourth.
The first three must’ve sucked eggs before you came along. I haven’t heard of them until now, and they’re supposed to be your heroes?
What did they do to make them so special? They didn’t save you from blowhards like the Jolly Roger gang, so why do you care about them so much?
Is it because they were flashy and looked cool while fighting? That’s not fighting, that’s a circus act.
You want to take the name and spot of a bunch of clowns doing flips? That’s what you want to do in OSW?
Some goals you have.
While you might be fine with being a replacement, I’m busting my butt to be my own thing. I’m not fine with just reaching for the stars like the other Cometas.
I’m reaching for those, the planets, and then some.
You won’t be able to beat me in a straight fight. Heck, you and the other three Cometas wouldn’t be able to beat Peter!
The moment you four would start flipping and trying to look cool, Peter would punch the taste out of your mouths. All it’d take is one well placed punch, and you’re history.
Much like the Cometa line will be after I beat you at Slam. You might not mind losing at Wrestle Heroes, but that’ll change when you lose to me.
When you wake up in that ring, you’ll wish you never took up the name of your heroes in the first place. You’ll put the Cometa line in such shame, that it becomes a bigger joke than Stupido.
Go ahead, keep trying to become a nobody. I’m going to become a hero like Peter, but better.
I’m going to be the best version of myself, The Lost Boy.
And what’s lost will soon be found.
