The Night of the Enlightenment
Stoker City
Pittsmore

It was another day working in Pittsmore for Steve the Stupendous (Rayburn Jr.) working as a loser wrestler in wrestling ring with Klonk and the other monsters there. After another match, Steve decided to get a drink from the bar in the building. Klonk decided to join him to give him some company.

"Hey pal. How are you doing?" Klonk asked.

"Fine. I'm... doing fine." Steve said sadly.

"Still not liking this job much, are ya?" Klonk said.

"It's better than being on the streets with no job." Steve said looking at the window.

"Maybe one day things will turn out better for you." Klonk said giving him a pat on the back.

"Yeah, sure." Steve said. He then looked at the TV there and saw some ruckus happening on it.

"Hey. Do you think you can turn it up a bit?" Steve asked the bartender. He then raised the volume higher for him to hear. Everyone started to listen.

"—as we speak, a giant satellite is now hurling down on Central City. People are running for cover as it rains fire balls and chunks of the satellite here. Central City's heroes as we speak are trying to stop this disaster. We can only hope..."

"Wow, listen to that. Looks like the Flash is saving the day as usual." Klonk said.

"Yep. He sure is." Steve said. He thought deeply about the superheroes in their world. They live in a world where the impossible is possible. Monsters exist long before humans, wrestling each to see who was the best. Ever since then, monsters and humans have live together in peace. He remembers when the Particle Accelerator Exploded in Central City on December 11, 2013, he was a little kid back then, when is dad was still alive. From that moment, the world changed a lot. People now had superpowers, these people were called Meta-Humans. Heck, there were even aliens and werewolves here like Supergirl and Black Wolf.

So many things have changed their world. He then turned to the TV to see Flash and some speedsters destroy the satellite.

"It looks like the Flash, Bolt, Stormwolf, and a mysterious speedster destroyed the satellite from crashing on the city. We all owe our lives to the Scarlet Speedster and his team of heroes for—"

Some of the people and monsters in the place cheered on the Flash, Bolt, Stormwolf (Lobo Commando) and the other speedster for saving the world. Steve and Klonk cheered as well.

"Hey, maybe you can be a superhero?" Klonk said laughing.

"Ha, ha, ha. Yeah right. Fight crime in a silly suit with a mask and costume. No thanks." Steve said.

"You're lost." Klonk said as he drinks.

But what they didn't know that when Flash and the speedsters punched the satellite, one of it's pieces got sent far into their area in Stoker City. As the piece crashed into the ground, it created a wave of Dark Matter sending it across the area a bit. Back at the place, Steve and Klonk were finishing their conversation to go back to wrestling.

"You know, maybe I'll..." Steve began before the building started to shake with everything else.

"Hey, what's happening?" Klonk asked. They turn to see the liquid in their drinks start to float in the air. People started to take cover to whatever was happening.

Steve turns around to a wave of orange energy hit right through him. It knocks him over into the ring, unconscious. Klonk rushes to him to see if he was okay.

"Steve? Steve? STEVE! Come man! Wake up!" Klonk said to him, trying to wake him up. He suddenly wakes up coughing for air.

"Ugh, what happened?" Steve asked. Klonk helps him up.

"You got knocked out by that weird energy wave." Klonk answered.

"What was that?" Steve asked.

"Who knows. Are you okay?" Klonk asked.

"Yeah, actually... I feel fine. Weird, but fine." Steve said.

"Great. Maybe take a break and we'll wrestle in a bit." Klonk said as he helps Steve sit down. Klonk then headed off to wrestle another monster. As he left, Steve's eyes glowed orange and then faded back to normal. After that, Steve relaxed and later wrestled in the ring. He didn't know that he had been changed into a Meta-Monster.

3 Years Later...

Stoker City 2021

After that incident, Steve or Rayburn Jr. continued his life as a wrestler payed to lose. One day, when Steve trained a little. When Steve punched the punching bag, he punched it so hard that went through 3 walls.

"What? How... did I... do that?" Steve asked. He stomped his foot on the ground hard and caused a small earthquake. He then started to move earth rocks around him.

"Whoa. Am I doing this?" Steve asked himself. He soon realized that he has meta-abilities. That energy wave must have given him this ability. It seems he has Earth elemental powers. He had no idea how to use them and decided not to use them for wrestling.

One night while he was wrestling, an old family friend showed up. It was Winnie Coyle, daughter of his Dad's coach. He hasn't seen her in years ever since both their dads were lost at sea. Winnie was looking to recruit and train a new monster to be champion since Tentacular turn tail and bailed on them. At first, Steve wanted nothing to do with it and said he was happy with his life but now he owes his boss money. So he decided to let Winnie train him. At first, Steve wasn't good at it until they used dancing to help him wrestle better. Dance Fighting. Soon he was doing great against many monsters until Tentacular showed up and scared him. After regaining his courage, Steve now Rayburn Jr. challenged Tentacular to a wrestling match to save the stadium. It was a close call, but Rayburn Jr. won the match against Tentacular, saved the stadium and became Champion of Monster Wrestling. Through of that, Rayburn Jr. never used or revealed that he has meta-abilities to anyone, not even Winnie. He was afraid of what his new power can do. He decided it was best to keep under wraps so no one gets hurt.

After that victory, Rayburn Jr. and Winnie celebrated in eating froyo, a lot froyo.

"Well, you did, Ray-Ray. We saved the stadium and you became champion. Our dads would be so proud of us, right?" Winnie said.

"Yep. I feel like sleeping for a week." Rayburn Jr. said laying on the floor with her.

"Yeah well, don't get too comfortable. Remember, tomorrow we're training at 6 am." Winnie said.

"Fine." Rayburn Jr. said. He suddenly sees his hand glow orange. His powers were getting stronger and harder to keep down.

"Hey, Ray. You okay?" Winnie asked. He then shakes his hand until it stopped glowing.

"Yeah. I'm fine. Tomorrow it is." Rayburn Jr. said. He was in deep thought now. His powers are getting stronger every day. He need help to control them. Winnie wouldn't be able to help. She doesn't know anything about meta-abilities. Maybe talking to the Justice League wouldn't be a bad idea.
