The statue began to speak, and in a deep voice it said, "Kingston, I knew your father. I gave your father powers. I want to give you powers too."

Kingston couldn't believe what just happened and what he just heard. He thought to himself, Statues can't talk, so this can't be real. But it was real. The Love Park statue did speak to Kingston and wanted to give him special powers-superhero powers-to save people in distress.

The statue gave him powers and his DGK skateboard powers too.
