Fiction Contest: Powers

Heroes report! I want to hear what you've been up to, what adventures you participated in, what amazing actions you took to save the world or rescue a cat out of a tree. Yes, it is fiction contest time. Get ready to write something amazing.
The theme of this contest is going to be 'Powers'. What does that mean? Glad you asked. I want you to go into your heroes power page and pick one Attack, one Defense, and one Movement power. During this story these will be the only powers your hero can use. You set the scene during one of the Jinn Saga stories, during a Legion battle, or your own story. Be original and have fun.
Special note: Plagiarism is not acceptable. Be original, do not use another story as your own. I know how hard it is to come up with original ideas, but do your best. I know Marvel and DC have come up with some cool stuff over the years, but don't borrow from them. Tell me your story, not theirs. As I have said before, I am not judging on quality of the writing, I only want to see effort. I don't expect every person submitting to be giving me refined, bestselling quality literature. I just want everyone to have fun.


Rules:
• Fiction must be between 400-2000 words, don’t worry if you are slightly over the word count, just don’t go too far.

• Content must be PG13. No Erotica and nothing that is explicitly derogatory or inflammatory. Keep it fun for everyone.

- Judges have final authority over content, at their sole discretion.
