Little Benny had fought Cigar akeys at least once with no protection. Most of the time the battlefield was in Little Benny's mind and heart. Benny was always fighting despair, temptation, and fear. Ms. Daniels knew. She made him a hat like the one he wore, but made it a helmet, and it matched his costume. His costume was like Armor. It protected him. The helmet had a face shield. It covered little Benny's eyes. It was also used as a computer screen to see all around him. Ms. Daniels put a tiny disc in the helmet so little Benny could see the powers of Cigar Keys and what he would have to fight against.

Cigar: I'll get you Little Benny!

Benny saw a giant hand reaching out to grab him. He snatched his helmet off his head. Benny did not want to stand against Cigar. He just wanted to hide.

Ms. Daniels then made Little Benny practice using his own powers. He knew how to use the costume too hide. He knew how to create fog, and he knew when to run.

The thing that scared Little Benny most was seeing that his enemy was a giant. Little Benny had to learn how to fight and take punches.
