A/N: After much thinking and going through many distractions, I've finally come up with my next story. For those of you wondering, I haven't abandoned "The Princess And The Frog". It's just that one is taking more time than I thought.

I.

Night had fallen on the town of Middleton. Except for the wind blowing through the trees, all was quiet. The majority of the population were sound asleep, but there were still others who were awake at this hour, such as nightly officers doing their rounds.

As Officer Hobble continued his nightly route, he felt relaxed as there was no sign of a single disturbance in town. But that was usually the case when the town was home to a famous teen hero. As Hobble looked out his windshield, he couldn't help but notice that there wasn't a cloud in the sky and the stars were shinning brightly. Hard to believe that among those stars was a world that almost enslaved their own. It was then that the police officer noticed that one of the stars was shinning brighter than the others, almost as if it were right next to the earth. As he continued his route, the star grew brighter and brighter, like it was coming towards him. Suddenly, he realized that what he was looking at was moving! Slamming on the brakes, he watched as the object in the sky fell closer and closer until it disappeared into the woods on the outskirts of town, followed by a loud crash and a dim green light emitting beyond the trees.

Curious as to what just crashed, Hobble drove up to side of the woods and stopped the patrol car. Getting out cautiously, he slowly made his way into the woods with his flashlight in hand. As he walked further and further into the woods, the green light grew brighter and brighter. Eventually, he came upon a small hole about three feet wide. In the center of the hole was a small round stone-like object, emitting the green glow, which slowly faded away. Feeling that this was something that the science center should deal with, Hobble turned to go back to his car and contact headquarters to get some astronomers here, but stopped when he noticed something strange. There was a crack in the stone thing, and out of it was seeping a strange, silvery-blue substance which seemed to sparkle in the starlight.

Not wanting to get too close, Hobble picked up a large branch and carefully prodded the substance. It was viscous-like and seemed like a cross between slug slime and hair gel. The officer was about to pull his branch back, when like rubber, the substance snapped back. Hobble tried to pull the branch free of the slimy gunk, but it wouldn't budge. Whatever that stuff was, it was stronger than super glue. It was then Hobble realized that it felt like the branch was being tugged in the opposite direction. Before Hobble knew it, he felt himself being pulled forward into the hole. He then saw something that made him gasp before all went dark.

II.

"Car 217, please come in" came the chief's voice over the car radio "Car 217, where are you?"

"Car 217 here" replied Officer Hobble's voice.

"About time" the chief grumbled on the other end "Where were you?"

"Thought I saw something crash into the woods" the Irish accent said back "Turned out it was nothing".

"Well, next time, report in before investigating falling objects, got it" the chief shot back.

"Roger. 10-4" Hobble's voice said as the communication ended.

As the officer got into the squad car and drove off, a sinister smirk appeared on his lips. Anyone who could've seen behind his glasses would've seen that they were glowing red.
