HANABLE THE CANABLE continued...

AN UNEXPECTED FOE

BY JESSE

"SMASH!" HC crashed into the hot concrete, face on fire with embarrassment. A colossal litterbot had erupted from a secret door within the pathway and overwhelmed the two heroes with a blast from his nuclear powered cannon. "Distract him while I take him from behind!" Agent Environment yelled trying to dodge the capsules flying past him. HC nodded quietly as if shocked from the pain going through his 'body'. "ZOOM!" Agent Environment flew around the robot and on to his back, as HC started his hurricane diversion. Distressed by all the confusing events, without Agent Environment having to do anything, the litterbot crashed lazily to the ground! "Wow! That was a mission or two!" panted HC, "Anyway, onwards to Unable's lair!!!

02036, HANNABLE THE UNABLES LAIR, fort pollute

"So…this is the villains' safe house aye?" HC said, studying the beautiful golden doors with admiration and disgust all in one. Giant clouds of smoke rose from the chimneys which towered above; rubbish lay all around, the colour of the sky was pretty much just black, and all of this just for Unable's wealth. This was not acceptable! HC was ready to rumble! The two blasted the door open to find humming voices among a huddle of villains and the one that stood out the most…Hannable the Unable! "Ahhhhh, brother you decided to visit…come, sit with my friends and I, let us discuss our plans together," Unable said with a smirk.
"Yeah…right…as if I'd do that…You're so dim-witted sometimes."
A number of gasps erupted from the crowd. "Do you want to just say that one more time?"
"You're…so…DIM-WITTED."
"THAT'S IT! No more Mister nice guy! GET HIM!"
And from there a tremendous battle broke out between the two sides, flashes in many different colours went throughout the room like birds taking flight. Until after a while… "STOP THE FIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!" HC panted with frustration, "This is a matter to discuss!"
"As much as you say so, I'm not going to change what I'm going to do! How much is it going to take to get that into your head?" Unable shouted, anger written all over his face.
"Look, if you just listen to what I'm trying to say, and then I'll leave!"
"Arrrgh, fine but make it quick!"
"Thank you…so, it's about time you thought about time you started thinking about what you've been doing…Have you not noticed that if you carry on the way your going, all you'll be known as is a selfish pig who doesn't care about anything, or anyone but himself. Everything that you're doing and that you've done has absolutely scarred the earth. If you want to make the earth's life span shorter than it's up to you but I say stop NOW!"
There was a moment of silence. "Now, I guess I should be going!" HC said with a deep breath.
"Wait!!!" Unable yelled, "I just want to say, thank you…I've never really thought of it that way…So I guess I'll just stop,"
"Guess you should!"

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED

Hanable The Canable by Briana

Somewhere in the middle of Cancan village something strange was lurking in the air…

"Oh, what's that smell?"Sniffed a young lady.

Suddenly a young boy yelled, "Help! Help! I am being attacked!"

"Buzz, buzz, buzz," Hanable's recycling communicator buzzed.

"Ha! I knew you wouldn't last long EVIL SMELLY WEAR," warned HC. "Onwards to my recycling office."

"La, la, la, la, la, la polluting, polluting is fun come on pollute everyone" sang Evil Smelly Wear.

"Ha, I knew you couldn't resist polluting, Mr Evil Underwear" said HC. "Who, who said that?" said Evil Underwear.

"I did" said HC. {Hanable the Canable flew down}
"Hanable the Canable, I thought it was you. You can't stop me!" "Mowahahaaaa! What do you think you're going to do now?" said Evil Smelly Wear.
You'll see" said HC.
"What? Are you going to hit me with your best Recycle, recycle song?" said Evil Smelly Wear.
"Yep just that" said HC. "Recycle, recycle is good surely you really need to eat food, your smelly old wear is polluting the air recycle, and recycle is good" sang HC.

"Stop I hate music. It blows my beautiful ear wax out," said Evil Smelly Wear.
"You see recycling is good for the earth's condition you might think polluting is fun but all you're doing is creating bad air," said HC.
"Ha! You think you can stop me I don't think … wait a minute, oh poop you got me. Just you wait HC. I'll have you sorted next time we meet" said Evil Smelly Wear.

"He, he, he I always get him every time" laughed HC.

"Are you all right?." HC asked the boy.
"Yeah, I just got a fright when he attacked me with his smelly wear .Any way you saved the day," said the young boy.
"Well Recycling is good for the Earth's Surface because we need to have a healthy condition on Earth" explained Hanable the Canable /HC.

"Beep, beep, beep, beep," HC's phone buzzed in his pocket.

"Hello HC speaking."

"Hello Hanable the Canable,"

"Well, well, well if it isn't Super Litterer,"

Yes, yes, guess what I'm doing?" asked Super Litterer.

"You're dumping rubbish around Canterbury city," replied HC.

"Yes you guessed," said Super Litterer "and now I want your laser."

"My laser?" asked HC in shock.

"No I've got your laser," teased Super Litterer. "We'll make a negotiation,

"You've got to give up being a super recycling hero & I'll give it back.''

''NEVER!" shouted HC.

Beep, beep, beep, beep. "It's time to call the Bumblesnouts," announced HC. Beep, beep, beep, beep, "hello Bumblesnouts 2 speaking"

"Hi its HC here, I need your help. Super Litterer has been dumping rubbish around the whole city & he's got my laser.''

''I'm on my way, '' said Bumblesnouts 2. Ding dong, the doorbell rang.

HC opened the door. "Ah Bumblesnouts 2 you're here already. Well we better get going."

Zap, zoom as quick as a lightning bolt Hanable the Canable and Bumblesnouts ran to Super Litterer's secret underground office. Zoom, Hanable the Canable grabbed Super Litterer & said, "Hand over the laser," Super Litterer handed the laser over, "leave, town & never come back". As quick as he could he grabbed all his stuff & left the town . TV2 news reporters came & started asking, "How did you defeat Super Litterer?"

"How do you feel defeating another recycling villain?"

"Wait, "said HC. "Can I say something? Remember keep this wonderful planet green and clean & don't pollute. Recycling is the way to go!"

Beep beep, beep beep, HC's phone buzzed again. "Hello, HC speaking."

"It's Bumblesnouts 1."

"What's happened?"

"Bat Litterer is dumping rubbish around the planet,"

"I'll meet you in Australia,"

"Ok bye."

"Well I've got to go & defeat another villain. Bye."

Hanable the Canable by Reanna

Once upon a time there lived a robotic recyclist and that robot recyclist wanted every robot, human, cat, dog and bird to recycle. His name was H.C aka Hanable the Canable. Hanable the Canable is a robot who LOVED the environment.

But one day as H.C was trying to sort out how many cans the All Brite boss had to recycle there was a knock at the door.

"That's strange", said H.C Suddenly "Buzz!" H.C's metal communicator started to buzz like a bee. It buzzed north; south, east, west, and then he saw it, that little beeping dot there in the middle of the metal communicator - the black cape. Yes you guessed it Rubbish Rusk!

With his dump gun firing dump all over the city. "Help! Cried the people. "Never fear, H.C is here!" shouted H.C. Hanable the Canable whizzed through the trees and threw one of his mini cans at Rubbish Rusk! Well Rubbish Rusk just laughed and laughed and he laughed! But at that very moment the cans blew up!! Sending Rubbish Rusk flying past the hills and landed PLONK!! Right on the top of recycling court. There he was taken to jail. And he was gone "I will have revenge H.C I will."

"YAY!" Cheered the people, H.C thought for a moment…

"Hmm! Now how am I going to get my message across this beautiful county?"

He wondered, "Hmm! I know I'll use Rubbish Rusk's dump gun to fire my message across the whole of New Zealand, but first I will have to get rid of all that mess and muck still stuck in the gun."

Four robotic hours later… "Mr H.C, Mr H.C," said R.R. "I would like to help you recycle please!!!!"asked R.R.

"All right then. Fire up the rubbish cube," said H.C.

Well my story has come to an end. Thank you for listening.

Yours sincerely,

H.C.

Hanable the Canable by Jesse

It all starts here, 1^st of January, 2000. The year…Of the opening …Of the 21^st Century. Also, the year of the release of the new superhero league, the GREEN TEAM!!! And their leader Hanable the Canable A.K.A. HC.

2034:
HANABLE'S SECRET APARTMENT, CANZRUS, CANTEBURY 2010.

"Agent Environment! Check this out! Michael Recycle just sent me a friend request on facebook!" proclaimed HC excitedly. "Sweet!" replied his loyal sidekick "He'll be a great link to get our message across, YOU CAN RECYCLE. Oh, and by the way I've written a character profile about you that we could share with others that are curious about what we do! Here, have a look!" Agent Environment handed HC the paper:

HANABLE THE CANNABLE

ORIGIN: CANZRUS LABORATORY, CANZRUS

STATUS: HERO

PURPOSE: IN THE YEAR 1998, SCIENTISTS BELIEVED OUR PLANET AND PEOPLE NEEDED A HERO. MORE AND MORE POLLUTION WAS OCCURING. THEY NEEDED A HERO WHO CARED FOR THE ENVIRONMENT, A HERO OF GREAT BRAVERY. AND OF COURSE THAT HERO COULD NOT HAVE BEEN HUMAN. IF WE WERE EVER TO FIND A HERO LIKE THAT THEY WOULD DEFINITELY HAVE TO BE OF ALIEN DESCENT. SO, IN 2000 OUR SAVIOUR TO BE HANABLE THE CANABLE WAS RELEASED!

HOW HE GETS HIS MESSAGE ACROSS: HC ALWAYS PUTS CONFERENCE BEFORE ACTION,AND UNFORTUNATELY SOME VILLAINS JUST CAN'T SEEM TO LISTEN TO WHAT HC TRIES TO SHOW THEM. SO HC JUST HAS TO USE THE APPROPRIATE PUNISHMENT. NOWADAYS, HC HAS BILLBOARDS, PUBLIC SPEECHES AND LOTS OF COMMUNITY AND COUNCIL CONFERENCES. THIS WAY EVERYONE WORKS TOGETHER TO MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE.

0538: HANABLE'S APARTMENT

"Beep, beep, beep," HC woke suddenly. What's that noise? He quickly realised it was his Green Team emergency comlink. Swiftly, he picked it up and glanced at the satellite image. It indicated to go to the green team HQ ASAP. HC immediately reacted, "To the Recycle Mobile… after breakfast."

And so, as HC finished up his can of baked beans, he woke Agent Environment and they both manned the recycle mobile and zoomed out of the secret docking bay.

0803: GREEN TEAM HQ, LOCATION UNKNOWN

'Ah….HC I was hoping you'd turn up!" Commander Green said with a sigh of relief, "We've been secretly tracking Hanable the Unable's movements for the past month, and have found something incredibly dangerous for our Earth."

"And what is that sir?" HC said curiously.

"Come with me"

The three slowly made their way over to the conference room, throwing nervous glances at each other. "Unable is planning to invade Wellington and transform the city into his own wasteland, and it's all up to you two to stop him," Commander Green finally said, "You'll need to go to his lair at Fort Pollute, but be careful. There are litterbots completely surrounding the lair!"

"Don't worry, we'll teach him a lesson or two!" HC replied.

And on that note, the two friends set off!

0813:
UNABLES LAIR, FORT POLLUTE

Clonk! A litter bots crashed right in front of HC. "Lucky!!" laughed Agent Environment, "I think that's the last of them,"

"Thank goodness, for that!" HC said staring down at the minion.

The two continued down the tremendous path to the lair just to find something they weren't expecting at all…

TO BE CONTINUED…

Hanable the Canable: Recycle Hero

In a big city, far away from here called Canterbury, there lived a super hero. You already know who I am going to talk about do you? Well, if you don't, then I am going to talk about Hanable the Canable!

One day, he was talking to his friend Agent Environment on facebook. They were talking about saving the planet even faster. Suddenly, he saw a shadow, glowing eyes, and pointy ears, when he turned the light on. . . It was only Canvironmental Cat being hungry. Canvironmental cat is his canned pet/ sidekick. She is made out of cans.

"Ring!" It was time for lunch. His favourite food is canned spinach and his favourite drink is spinach juice. He's a vegetarian. When he finished his lunch, Canvironmental Cat and him were flying around the world to look for some people or super villains that are trying to kill the planet.
Suddenly, he saw Danny the Dumper dumping garbage on streets. He quickly went down to the country where Danny was before he escapes.

When he reached Danny's cape, he carried him to the meadows and talked to him. Canvironmental Cat looked at him mysteriously.

"Do you know what you have been doing?" asked HC.
"No." answered Danny quietly.
"You have been putting garbage in this beautiful New Zealand country and other countries around the world, do you like doing that?" HC asked.
"Well, I actually like the world to be messy because I grew up living in a messy house and I'm getting used to having mess around me and when I saw that the country was clean, I wasn't comfortable so that's why I put garbage on the streets and I'm sorry." Danny said sadly.
"Well, then I think it's time for you to go to Environmental Court, the judge can send you in Recycle School if he finds you guilty as soon as possible." HC said.

2 weeks later. . .

HC was going to visit Recycle School to look how Danny the Dumper has improved. "Well, how is he doing, Michael Recycle?" HC asked.
"He's doing great, he has improved a lot and he can use his powers to do good recycling now and he is one of your good villains this month, his new name is Danny the Fast Recycler." Michael Recycle said proudly.
"Hello there Mr HC, sir." Danny said quietly.
"I think it's time for you to go and save the planet, eh?" HC told him.
"I'm going to do my super recycling in the North Island, after all, I can get there in one second, goodbyes HC. Goodbye Michael Recycle, sir," he said and waved. Canvironmental Cat looked at him and Danny excitedly said for the last time, "and goodbye to you Canvironmental Cat!"

HC has saved another super day.

THE SUPER END!!!

Hanable the CAN-able!

"Breaking news!" shouted the One News reporter.
"I'm here at the sight of an air crash, but not just any old one. This mysterious rubble of a bright green ship has been identified as… wait for it… A UFO! But yet, we're not alone…a local farmer believes to have had a very close encounter with an ALIEN ROBOT! While further inquiries are being made, police advise that residents stay inside and keep their doors locked!"

4 HOURS LATER…

"Beep…Beep… Beep……BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!"

"I knew it! My AWESOME tin detector never lets me down!" I shouted.
The further forward we ran, the louder those noisy beeps became.
And then, just as the detector scale had reached its highest point… my friend and I froze into a dead silence. There, standing right in front of us was a strange and shiny, silver robot!
"WOW!" I yelled at the top of my lungs. "A real life alien robot!"
"I'm no alien robot?! I'm a robot RE-CYCLING SUPER HERO! My name is Hanable the Canable! (That's HC for short). And I'm here to help restore your planet." The mysterious machine said.
I couldn't believe my eyes! "It... it talks!" I stammered.
"Yes, of course I talk. Why shouldn't I? This is how I spread the message.
"What message is that exactly?"I asked.
"Well, it's about helping to care for the in envioronment.

Suddenly, a bitter wind swept across the reserve. We all shivered. (Except for HC. I'm not sure he feels the cold).
"Hey, why don't we all go back to my place for milkshakes?" I suggested.
"No thank you" said HC, "I'm quite happy where I am".
We were on the way home when it started to rain. That's when a thought crept into my mind…
"What am I thinking"! I said aloud, "This is an eating, sleeping, talking, walking robot from outer space! Even the F.B.I is looking for him. WE COULD MAKE MILLIONS!!!
Right then, sirens screamed and lights flashed…

"WEEE-OHH! WEEE-OHH! WEEE-OHH!" About five police cars pulled into the clearing.
We hid behind the tree, and turned around. Suddenly, we bumped into a tall, strong man. His name was sheriff R.J. Brown. He was dressed in police uniform from head to toe. He scowled at me and reached out his arms and grabbed us both by the ears. We ran away, terrified.

Then he ran after us shouting, "Come back you boys, it's not safe out here. Why you little rascals, when I catch you…"!
"VOOOOSHHH!!!!" Hanable dashed out in front of the angry sheriff, lifted us up, and shot into the air as fast as a rocket headed for mars!

"You can fly too!" I shouted.
"You bet I can! Now lets get re-cycling!!!"
