Peepers' Pitt--Peepers Powerless

Peepers’ Pitt--The Gray Experience pt. 1 of 6:  “Peepers Powerless”

Peepers was in trouble.  Glademus had taken his godlike abilities and only allowed him to retain a small portion of power.  According to Glademus, this power was represented in Peepers' new gray outfit, red glasses, and spiked fauxhawk!  Peepers felt that his new look alone could defeat the crowd of Peepers' Pitt castaways that had begun to surround him!

Peepers squinted his eyes behind his glasses in an attempt to activate the remainder of his power.  When nothing happened, he strained to increase his concentration by furrowing his brow and clenching his teeth.  Nothing.  Peepers then decided to motion for his power to come forth by waving his hands.  Once again, no evidence of his power displayed.  Finally, Peepers searched his costume and new glasses.  Unlike his original outfit and glasses, there were no buttons for his strobe effect, x-ray vision, or hypnotic holograms.  Peepers turned quickly and ran for cover, narrowly escaping Humphrey Hobo and Choo Choo Andrews who had been approaching from behind.

Peepers scrambled through the rubble of the buildings that the giant Kamola had felled and escaped down an alley.  Though he had no powers, Peepers still had the advantage of knowing his surroundings better than anyone.  He had created every inch of this partial town from his imagination.  He located a still-standing building and made his way inside from a back entrance.  Once inside, he sat in a corner and plotted his next move.  Where was this small portion of power Glademus mentioned, and what did it have to do with the new outfit and glasses?  Peepers did not have to ponder long, as a white light suddenly began to fill the room, and out of it appeared Glademus!

"Peepers!  How ya doing?" Glademus had a huge smile on his face.

"Peepers not good!  Peepers upset!  Where power you say Peepers have?!?"

Glademus looked around and then back at Peepers.  "You didn't find it yet?"

"No!  Peepers look everywhere....but he not find it!  Prophet of Optimism crazy!"

"You have the power, Peepers!  You're just going through a Gray Experience!  I said that you were now in a gray area between the human Peepers you were before and the godlike Peepers you became!""

Peepers curled his mouth in confusion.  "So?  What that mean?!?

"It means that you still have a portion of godlike power that I placed within your new glasses and costume, which are a combination of your old black costume and your godlike white one!"

"So why Peepers not have any power to fight off pursuers?!?"

"Well with a gray experience, nothing is easily determined, or accessed.  To access the power of the outfit, you have to work for it!  It needs a charger to make it activate!"

"What charger?!?"

"To power up the batteries!  Devices like the one you're wearing don't run off solar power, you know!"

"What?!?  Why you make dumb outfit that run on batteries but have no charger?!?"

"There is a charger!  You just have to go find it!  I couldn't just freely give you access to it after you misused my whitespace power.  You have to earn it!"

Peepers groaned.  "So where charger?"

"It's in the Mad Tinkerer's lab!"

"What?!?  Mad Tinker's lab very far away from this place!!  It take a whole day to walk there!!"

"Hey it's not my fault that you put the lab there!  If you make it there, you'll be able to use the outfit to escape your pursuers and leave here!"

"Peepers not want to escape them if he have power!  He will defeat them!"

"If you can!  Running is probably better now though!  I forgot to mention that when they all touched you; the power that was zapped out of you was split among all your Pittians!  They all have their own extra powers now, and will keep them until you either escape or they catch you!
