Classic Adventures of PWNage! No. 2: Fake it 'till you make it

## The Story

In a flashback, George Henderson is at work, bored by his job, wasting away at a computer, when he notices his coworkers rushing to the breakroom TV. He squeezes through the crowd to see Chad Pwnhammer on the news, stopping a bank robbery. George is amazed, and quits his job at the end of the day.

He goes home, painting his face blue, donning his new outfit, and becoming Chad himself, ready to take on the thugs of the night. He goes out on his patrol, strutting around on the sidewalk, when he bumps into a man wearing a hoodie. George turns around, ready to handle whatever the bumper has coming for him. The hooded figure pulls it back, and reveals himself to be Chad, coming back to the tower with snacks. Chad asks what he's wearing, and the two get into a conversation of how while he appreciates the idea, George is ultimately putting himself in massive danger, as his impersonation is accurate,

George gives up once more, and storms off, taking off his durag and gloves. He blames himself for being an idiot, but also the world for being so harsh. He just got denounced by his HERO, who told him to give up on his dream, just like everyone else. He gets home, looking in the mirror, before punching it, seeing Chad in some of the shattered pieces.

In the present day, Chad and Spiral are leaving a pro wrestling arena, wearing shirts of their favorite wrestler, Bradis Crusherfist. They cut through an alley, getting to the fence at the end, when Fux pops open from the dumpster, startling them. He attempts to walk forward, falling flat on his face, before getting up once more and announcing himself as Chad Pwnhammer. Spiral starts giggling, joking with Chad, and asking who the lucky lady was, before Chad grabs his lips.

Chad recognizes Fux, asking him what the hell he thinks he's doing in that getup again. Fux is simply just trying to hero, like everyone tells him is idiotic, but it's finally time to show them all. As they are talking, a woman begins to get mugged across the street, in another alley. Fux rushes to help the woman, while Chad and Spiral stand back and observe. Fux gets the muggers attention, brandishing his can of Mace, when the mugger chuckles, and shoots at him.

Spiral catches the bullet, and takes the girl to an ice cream parlor, before coming back, and rapid-firing the criminal to the concrete, Fux questions why Spiral did that, and exclaims that he could've done it himself. Spiral takes his hand, and places the still warm bullet in it. Chad walks over to them, and Fux begins to get irritated, asking how what he's doing is wrong, and what the real, honest difference is between them. Chad, pointing to the can, mentions that he does not use "branded" 'PWNHAMMER pepper spray', with Spiral commenting that the bottle is so pretty they could sell it as perfume. Fux sprays Spiral with it, causing him to scream in pain, as Chad grabs his shirt, threatening to treat him like the people who DO mug women on the street. Fux surrenders, and Chad pushes him out of the alley, and walks away with a blinded Spiral, as it begins to rain on Fux, ruining his makeup.

The next morning, Chad, Spiral and Ejay are in the kitchen, with Ejay helping Spiral's eyes as they wait for Aiden to wake up. The TV is on as background noise, playing talkshows that they love to make fun of. Suddenly, Nugg3T bursts with noise, screaming with excitement about Chad being on Smellen. Chad has no recollection of this, and jumps to the couch, curious of what he means. The title card wipes offscreen, and Chad fumes with anger.

Sitting across from Smellen is Fux, smugly crossing his legs, with his arms behind his head. The host proceeds to ask particularly spicy questions, which Fux gives his best, "honest" answer. The show ends, and Fux is walking out with security, paparazzi surrounding them. Snark Thompson pushes his way through and sticks his microphone in his face, commenting on how his show was great, and that the public are learning a lot about him, even inviting him for another interview. Fux agrees, and they hop in his van, heading toward Channel 1 headquarters, with a large mob following them.

Outside the building, a small stage is being set up for a Q&A, where Chad and Aiden are disguised as the camera crew, while Spiral and Ejay are in front of the line for questioning. Ejay asks what "Chad" thinks *really* of Spiral, with Fux replying that he is honestly kind of a bother, and many other hurtful things. Irritated, Spiral uses Ejay as leverage to hold himself up, yelling about how he's not even the real Chad, and spits at him. The saliva splatters on his face, as the crowd begins to get unruly, but Fux tries to wipe it off, smearing some of the paint on his cheek.

The crowd gasps, as Chad and Aiden throw their equipment on the ground, and grab an outdoors jug full of water, dumping it on Fux, and revealing him to the public. Chad takes off his very convincing grey hat, and reveals that he is the REAL Chad. The people don't believe him, so Spiral spits on him, as nothing happens to his face. The group cheers, wanting to ask questions again, as Chad happily obliges, telling the truth this time.

Fux tries to shamefully sneak away, and the Comic ends with Snark, filled with rage, staring him down.

\*After Credits Page\*

Fux has his office Job back, bummed at his computer, when his boss yells for him in the breakroom. He's worried he's gonna get superfired in front of everyone, but to his surprise, his coworkers all yell at him.

"SURPRISE!!!"

His coworker Angela hands him a blue cake with pale purple icing, and black writing, a sight that almost makes George cry.

"You're a hero to us!" is written on it, signed by every person there.
