Chapter 18 - The Cheers and The Boos

HERODUDE KAGE.

The pieces of The Behemoth fade away. Everyone looks around in shock. The Giant. The man that has been causing terror throughout many neighborhoods…has been defeated.

As everyone is in shock, Quadeem rushes to HeroDude and screams….

Quadeem: HERODUDE! HERODUDE!

As the volume of his voice increases as he gets closer to HeroDude, HeroDude remains in his pose as if he meant to do it. He looks up with a smirk. (That no one can see because of the mask)

HeroDude: This pose….is gonna go crazy in the IG!

Quadeem smirks back, locks arms with HeroDude and gets him up.

Quadeem: You crazy some of a….did you real lift that s**t? Or am I tripping!

HeroDude rubs the back of his head and looks around.

HeroDude: I don't know…I think I'm still tripping myself. Man…

Quadeem pats HeroDude on the back.

Quadeem: Well then uh…let's get back and maybe get you some cold water so you can calm down. Pops and Mom are gonna go crazy when you tell them this!

HeroDude: That's a…yeah they probably are.

As Quadeem and HeroDude start to walk off, many of the civilians that were in danger walk outside and look around. One of them says "is it over?" Another says "did we really survive this?" HeroDude responds…

HeroDude: Yeah….you're all alive and well. The Behemoth should've left and went after some double-triple bacon burger meal.

Quadeem: Bro…Them corny a** jokes.

HeroDude: What? I'm supposed to say thanks on some dry timing?

Quadeem: That would have been better then whatever "joke" you said.

As the two was about to walk through the crowd, the woman who was holding her kid runs to HeroDude (with her kid. Of course.) when she gets close, she stops and takes heavy breathes.

Women:…Thank….Ugh…Thank you!!!

The women quickly grabs and shakes HeroDude's hand.

HeroDude: Yeah no problem!

HeroDude looks down. The child looks up at him, smiling like nothing in the world could touch him. HeroDude smiles back (They can't see that he's smiling through his mirror mask.)

HeroDude: I wouldn't let some big popeyes lover hurt this little guy. My heroicness is rating E for everyone!

The woman chuckles and says "you know I was skeptical about you at first. But after this…maybe you're not so bad." And then she walks off. Holding her kid tight.

HeroDude and Quadeem turn around to see a group of people applauding and cheering "thank you hero!", "You saved my life", "You're awesome", You whooped that n***a's a**!!!

Quadeem: "I saved someone people to…."

HeroDude: Thank you! Thank you really. And whoever said the N word, I really hope that you're black! Otherwises, my story is cooked!

But then suddenly. Someone behind HeroDude yells "You cheer for this man!" HeroDude turns around and sees an old man.

The old man glances at HeroDude with anger in his eyes and says. "Because of this HeRoDuDe. My house is destroyed! It's a mess!

Quadeem tries to get HeroDude to turn around and says. "Aye bro. You don't need to entertain them" But then, a group of people stand with the old man, screaming almost as loud as the cheers. They scream "You didn't really want to save us! You just wanted us out of your way!", if you were really a hero! All of our houses would still be here!"

HeroDude was about to respond but Quadeem quickly whispers to his ear. "Ignore them. Ignore them bro."

But then the people who were cheering for HeroDude fights back "Aren't y'all greatful that you're still alive!" "What's the point of a good house if you don't have a life!" In the end of the day, you're alive!

HeroDude butts in and says. LISTEN! Listen! If y'all wanted your house back so bad? All ya had to do is ask.

HeroDude Kompozes many rocks together and one by one, the house rebuild and the whole neighborhood gets fixed. After this, HeroDude gestures his hand as if he was introducing a new city. "see? It's almost as if nothing happened.

For a moment hope was in everyone's eyes. But there is one problem. There is one important thing about Kompoze that must be addressed. When Kompozing to create something. The user needs full knowledge of what exactly he is creating. Otherwise, it will look like exactly how you envision it looking. And not how it's actually supposed to look.

HeroDude's full court vision ability could indeed help him assume what was in the houses exactly. But HeroDude lacks the general knowledge needed to perfectly do so

While the houses are restored. The people that where against HeroDude yelled more. "THIS ISN'T MY HOUSE! WHERE IS MY TV! "MY COUCH, MY BED???" Quadeem face palms because he knew this was going to happen.

The screams get louder. HeroDude tried to make jokes or just talk period to maybe calm them down. But nothing worked. The people backing him up tried to say something. But the voices from the opposing side quickly cancels out their claims.

HeroDude and Quadeem are stuck in the middle of all this. Quadeem notices the veins popping off of HeroDude. He was getting angry. Quadeem grabs his wrist and says. HeroDude! Let's get outta here!

Quadeem tugs at HeroDude's arm. But HeroDude stays planted. It was as if his feet were nailed to the ground. Quadeem looks at him and says. Awww s**t. The voices get louder. There was even a lady that yelled. HE THREATENED TO LEAVE ME TO DIE ONCE!

Context: Chapter 14

HeroDude grabs on to a building then break through the window and with great speeds, he gets all the people in the building out and in their own personal force fields.

Citizen: Hero!!!

HeroDude: You know I've been saving people for a while now. You would think I did something as extreme as this before. Believe it or not—first time!

Citizen: WHY DO YOU TALK SO MUCH? JUST SAVE US YOU WANNABE HERO!!

HeroDude: Rude….I could just drop ya right now.

Citizen: WHAT?????

HeroDude: Take a joke Ma'am! Dang.

Now you know.

That was what did it. That's what made HeroDude snap. SHUT UPPP ALREADY! He yells. Everyone stops screaming. I SAVED Y'ALL! ALL OF Y'ALL WHEN I COULD'VE LET Y'ALL ROT AND DIE BUT I DIDN'T! CAN'T Y'ALL ACCEPT THAT!?!CAN'T YALL BE GRATEFUL FOR THAT! HUH??!

Silence.

HeroDude steps forward to the poeple who was booing and says. OH NOW YOU GOT NOTHING TO—-

They all step back. And when they do, that's when HeroDude realizes. They're scared.. they think that he might hurt them.. he's supposed to be a hero. Yet he puts fear in the eyes of the people he saved.

HeroDude looks at the ground and says…s**t. And in that instant, He's gone.

It's just Quadeem. Bet he looks around and says. "What you just gonna leave me here by myself?" And he dashes away.

The citizens stand in silence. Half of them are in fear. "He was gonna kill me!" One said! And someone from the other side said. "Well next time don't be an a**hole."
