As he got closer, he realized that the students had gathered the standard chemical ingredients for stink bombs and flash firecrackers. They’d already made two large buckets of what looked like a powerful liquid glue.
An eager Alani bounced up from her seat. “We’re taking your advice!” she said proudly. “We’re going to face our fear of those two bullies and get some payback!”
Billy shook his head. “Wait, no! That’s not what I meant. If you try to get revenge, you’re just stooping to their level.”
“Oh no, not at all,” Randal said. He pointed at the supplies. “What we’ve got planned is much more sophisticated than anything Bulk and Skull could come up with. Clearly, we are way above their level.”
“That’s not what I meant,” Billy said. “You’re just becoming bullies yourselves!”
Ira frowned. “But isn’t that okay, if you only bully bullies?” he asked.
“No,” Billy said. “It isn’t.”
“Why not?” Alani asked.
Trying to figure out how best to explain, Billy looked off to gather his thoughts. When he did, he saw something very strange in the distance, over by the marine specimen tanks. It was a short, furry figure, clapping happily. At first Billy thought it was Bulk or Skull, but as he narrowed his eyes, the pointy dog ears he saw were unmistakable.
It was Finster!
Without another thought, Billy ran from the cafeteria.
“Sorry!” he called back to the others. “I have to go check on something extremely important. We’ll talk later, but please, don’t make any more plans until we do!”
Once he was sure that the students couldn’t see him, Billy pulled out his Power Morpher and yelled, “It’s Morphin Time!”
