[Read; deep voice]/"HrmHrm-hrmmm. Soon. Very soon, my VENgeance will be realized."/ Thought, Mr. JerkFace.
/"When our 'beloved mayor' takes the stand, -to give his speech in city hall. My 'vengeance' will blow up in his foolish face, and his citizens will know despair!
Just about eight on the dot."/ Mr. JerkFace chorkled. "10 . 9 . 8 . . . 4 . 3 ..2 . . . -1-!!!"
(. . .)
"WhAT?!----Nrahhh!!!"
| HIS car exploded.
"Like your surprise, Mr. JerkFace?!" A heroic voice echoed.
"aAaAhh! CapeMan again!?!? aH!-Ah-AHh--ahhhh!" He cried in burning pain.
CapeMan said, contently, "This time, I barely turn-the tides on your 'Jerk-Bomb' scheme. It was a good try, but you screwed up again."
((Police sirens))
"Take him away -boys in blue." The CapeMan said.
((Zoom))
Mr. JerkFace shouted, "NrGh! CapeMan -You JERRRKKKKKKkkkkkk----"
(((Pages shut!!!)))
/"Hrhm. This week's comic-issue... It was a terribly good conclusion."/ Xander thought, amused. /"Even though this series is 20+ years of age now, it's still a fine read as its always been."/

"Yesss?"
"Is-urh Xander in here???" A familiar mohawked student asked.
He replied calmly, "I am him."
"You? Good for me. And-er, call me Matteo." He greeted, cagily. "Please, hear me out. I-erh need a kind-ve favor from you."
| Afterwards~
Fired up, Xander said, "I'll step up_ and get started with no minimal delay!"
He verbalized, 'First. -I need to sketch the blueprints!'
'What materials am I going to have need of?!'
/'Weldinggg. . . . . .'/

/'Fruit nut bar snack break... *chewing*'/

/'And now_ back to welding.'/

| A couple days later...
Matteo asked, "Xander? Your club friend says to me, my-eh tool is completed?"
Xander nodded and said, "Yes, it has. Gander over at the counter-top to your left."
"wwWhoa!" Matteo uttered, as he tested it.
Xander said, pleased, "I hope_ you will be content with your new 'Multi-Cleaning Tool'."
