All I wanted was to get the pity and interest of Frank. I knew if I really did want to learn, Frank would teach me, not because he wants to, but because, well, Frank has nothing else to do. At the start of the first second after killing off all the gangs that killed Frank's family, Frank did not really have anything to do for 3 to 4 months; he was a free man, and if my timing is trying, then I might have found Frank at the best time possible. I will learn everything from Frank in the next 3 months....'
'But what after that? Well, I stay away from the Punisher after that because, well, all the other crap happens. After 3 months, Frank will end up finding that hacker guy, and then that guy will tell Frank about how his family actually died; it was a crossfire... Well, the hit was on Frank, but his family ends up dying in it... Crazy story, really. I don't want to get stuck in any of that, but I'll help Frank once if he does really train me. Anyway, now I should really buy new clothes; this tracksuit is messed up... And also, I have to patch myself too...
I look at myself through a car window. My nose was red, and I had a tissue paper stuck in my nose stopping my bleeding, and also my lower body hurt like hell. In fact, my back was killing me too... I looked like an old crackhead... and I shook my head. And then I started looking for a clothes shop, but it was too late; outside there were not clothes shops at all... and while I was walking, someone got out of the alley and said, "Hey, you kid, give me everything you got!"
And I just turn around and look at the guy, and I roll my eyes and speak, "You don't want to do this, bro," and the guy pulls out a knife and starts to run at me, and I open my arms almost as if I were calling him for a hug, and he tries to stab me, but the second the knife gets close to me, before it could even touch my tracksuit…!!! Fizz!!!!! Swoosh!!! Zing! Crash!!!... And then a green light covers me...
And the guy who tried to stab me with his knife slipped past my skin, which was as strong as diamond, and I looked down at the guy. I was taller than him now, and I grabbed him by his shirt collar, and I threw him, and the guy was sent flying into a trash can, and I thought, 'Oh, so this Omnitrix does have a failsafe, huh?' Before even his knife could touch me, I became Diamondhead.
I look at my hand, and I feel so much stronger, and I also feel something deep inside the ground, almost as if I could call it if I wanted… I walk to the guy who was knocked out and pick him up with one hand, and then I pull the guy's hoodie off, and I don't know this guy, so I look through his stuff, and well, I see he has a jacket of "Dogs of Hell"? And then I remember this is one of the gangs the Punisher rides his van on, or something like that. Oh, who cares? Uh, this guy has a lighter and $50! I grab the lighter and the guy's wallet, and then I grab the envelope that Frank gave me. I pull the money out of the envelope, and I put it inside the guy's wallet who gave me that wallet, good soul...
And I look down at the guy, and I think, 'Should I kill him?' He saw me turn alien... well, I mean, he is also a good boy; he gave me 50 bucks and his wallet too. Hmm, should I let him go? Well, I know there is no one in this alley, but if I kill him, where would I hide his body? Uh, wait, I should just give this guy to the Punisher!! Yeah! I do that; I let him handle this, and then I smile, and just as I was going to hit the Omnitrix on my chest, I wondered, "Wait, this is a good time to test if this works or not. Ok, I want to change into XLR8," and then I spoke, "XLR8," and I slapped the Omnitrix on my chest, and then a green light covered me again. Swoosh...
And well now there was no Diamon on my body; in fact, I felt smaller, faster, and way more slim. My feet also feel weird, and I have a tail now... and I smile and think, 'Ok, so this does work. I just have to hit the Omnitrix and think and say the alien I want to become, and I turn into the alien. Well, well, my gift is better than I thought. Now it's time to run back. I wonder how fast I can move. In the TV show, XLR8 was able to move at sound speeds....' I grab the guy and then take a step....
Flash!!!!! Whoosh!!!!...
I run all the way back to my apartment, and it took me a second longer than I thought because, well, I kind of forgot where I lived... Anyway, I found the apartment, and I ran fast inside, and no one saw me, and then I tied up the "Dogs of Hell" guy, whose real name I found out from his driver's license was "Max." After tying up the guy, I threw him inside my wardrobe, and then I turned the dial on the Omnitrix, and I turned back to human... with a green flash.
"Ahh, what a long night..."
