Fred Storms the County Fair

Fred was driving home to Texas, and had made it into Iowa. His last 3 hours had been spent pulling through small town after small town, admiring the scenery, and trying to stay awake. He drove on, the dawn now to his right. Moving his visor to block the sun, Fred stepped on the gas and tried to hurry home.

Nearing the edge of Iowa, Fred pulled into a gas station to refuel his car. Fred started the pumping process, and looked around. In the distance, he saw a ferris wheel slowly spinning about. Fred had had more then his share of State Fair, but this was a lot smaller. Fred stopped the gas pump, paid the clerk, and drove of for a rocking good time at the County Fair. Driving within a half mile of the fair, Fred pulled into a ditch and walked the rest of the way. Fred paid the admission fee, and started his tour of the area. As he decided between roasted corn and boiled corn, he heard a terrible noise from behind him.

The Ferris wheel was rocking back and forth, and the ground was shaking. Fred felt a blast of hot air behind him, and whipped around, reaching for his gun and tensing his motors for a quick move. He was staring at the face of a large, red lizard. It was something he never expected to see in his lifetime the great beast, Mozilla. Mozilla was wildly rumored about on the Internet, but only the most die hard fanatic would see one in real life. Fred pulled the trigger, but Mozilla was too quick to be hit with bullets. All around him, people were running for the exit. Others ran to hide in the massive fields surrounding the fair. Mozilla began to spit flames onto the slower people in the crowd, who quickly oxidized and crumbled to the ground. Fred fired a blast from his internal death ray, but Mozilla stood strong against him. Mozilla launched another attack, this time aimer at Fred. The blow struck him in the chest, pushing him backwards. Fred rolled backwards into a pea and barley art booth, and also felt his cell phone vibrate. Reaching into his pocket, he felt a strange sensation.

The world around him turned black, and rays of light pierced his body. A voice that sounded like his own called out, “Fredvolve to AnimFred!” Armor appeared out of nowhere, increasing Fred’s height and and width, and even his depth! Hair grew from his back, forming a protective shield against impacts. Claws grew from his hands. Music blazed in his ears, driving him into battle, looking good and feeling tough.

The lights came back on, and AnimFred was prepared to fight Mozilla on his terms. Fred slashed at the great beast, drawing some blood, but unable to cause major damage. Mozilla bite Fred’s head, causing it to fall off. Now detached from his body, Fred needed help, fast. Going only off instinct, he realized only one thing could save him now!

“I summon the mega-ultra-l33t-zord!

A rat crawled out of the wreckage below him, then transformed into a giant leg. A cat did the same, and a dog and horse formed the body and arms. Fred yanked his head out of Mozilla's mouth, and the mega-ultra-l33t zord picked him up and placed him on his new body. He launched a massive ball of zord energy at Mozilla. Mozilla exploded into a shower of sparks, and was sent back into the digital world. Fred unvolved into normal Fred, and left the county Fair, leaving the stunned town behind him.

Fred drove his beat up squad car down the highway, Damaged from his big fight, and wondering where all these powers had come from. All of these questions would have to wait till another day, when new adventures await out hero...
