The Rise of Klepto
The Rise of Klepto


I looked at my boyscout do gooding prisoner. I had the most powerful speedster trapped in an asphalt like hardened substance. I developed it to stay in a thick liquid until my prey touched it. It solidified in less than a millisecond. His own power made my trap successful and full proof.
“I have to say thank you. Without you and your speed my trap wouldn't have worked.” I told the superhero called Pulsar.
The dirty look he was giving said that he thought I was just being a smart ass.
“I mean it Pulsar.” I knelt down and patted his back. “Only your particular speed power would make my substance harden so fast. I covertly followed you for a solid month. Waiting for the exact moment so I could get a little bit of your DNA.”
I stood back up, eager to get started. Reaching inside my right boot I pulled out one of my favorite blades, a Scottish durg. This dagger was the perfect tool for him when he needed to make accurate and precise cuts.
“Well Pulsar I've enjoyed your company but I'm afraid we have come to the end of our road.” Not wasting a single second more, the hunter sliced a deep cut across his neck from ear to ear.
“I've always wondered what running speeds that only you could achieve.” The hunter said to the new corpse as he placed a giant bowl in front of it so as to catch all of Pulsar's blood.
“Oh by the way. It's rude to let me do all the talking.” His tone was filled with anger and contempt. “I'll forgive you this one time.” His facial expression went from upset to a very sinister smile. “I guess I should take you losing your tongue into account.” The hunter popped the 4 inch part of Pulsar's tongue into his mouth and began chewing.
“Damn it's good to be me, the great Klepto.”
Klepto pulled out a long green swirly straw and began sucking the blood and drinking it like you would a milkshake.


Chapter 1

“We need to find this vampire fuckwad and put him in the ground!” The invincible strongman, Atlas, yelled in justified and righteous anger.
“Permanently.” The beautiful goddess-like superhero added.
“We don't kill.” The de facto leader of this first meeting of all the high level, level 5,superheroes said.
Jack was the hero that had gotten these half dozen, extremely powerful heroes, together.
“So you keep saying.” Mother Nature, the beautiful goddess-like hero, growled in anger and frustration. “But deep down you know,” she paused to let the importance of her words sink in, “you know that there are certain people who exist in this world, that shouldn't be living in this world.”
“Mother Nature makes a valid point Jack.” The other worldly android, who most call A.L.F., which stood for Artificial Life Form. The speedster, Pulsar, gave him that name. Pulsar thought it was funny as hell since it came from the old 1980's and 1990's sitcom.
"If certain extreme villains are executed, an incalculable number of innocent lives Will be saved." A.L.F. added in his "college professor" voice.
"What makes us more important and more powerful than the American Judicial System?" Lightning, Jack's fiance, asked. "We're not judge, jury, and executioner."
"They have the right to a fair trial just like every citizen of the United States." Jack added.
"We're not saying to kill all the bad guys we face." Atlas stressed. "But if we come across a villain that is this psycho and this dangerous? Capturing him or her and chancing that mistakes won't be made and set a powerful murderer back on the streets is much too risky." Atlas looked at every hero in the meeting in the eyes. "Villains like that? Like this sick fuck who murdered our friend Pulsar by draining him dry of his blood?" Atlas made everyone see and feel his resolve where his best friend's murderer was concerned. "I'm not going to take such a risky and dangerous chance. I'm sure as hell not going to dishonor Pulsar's memory by letting his killer live when Pulsar is lying 6 feet in the ground."
