Back to the battle. HeroDude looks up to see the Behemoth falling down like a nuke with the power to destroy a state.
He looks around at all the new debris he can Kompoze. He looks down and grabs one and looks at the big spring he uses.
HeroDude: Man…I really am busted.
HeroDude Kompozes what he grabbed with the spring and creates a cannon aimed directly at The Behemoth.
HeroDude: let's hope the afterlife accepts giants!
With a ground shattering boom, the cannon launches a upward storm at The Behemoth.
The Behemoth: You think this is enough to defeat me!!!!
The Behemoth clenches his fists and punches open the cannonballs
The Behemoth: Let me show you the force of a real cannon!
The Behemoth catches a cannonball and hurls it down at the others with a even greater force. The cannonball heats up as it blazes through the others
But HeroDude was quick to react! When the cannonball hits his cannon, HeroDude Kompozes it just in time to form a laser cannon.
The laser lances into The Behemoth, flooding the sky with light. The Behemoth roars through the pain as he falls closer and closer to the ground.
HeroDude: "He's some tuff sucka. But imma need that barrier gone before I can get up close."
HeroDude thinks back to what his mother said.
Abigail "flashback": Remember son. When you're battling a sorcerer that is physically more impressive than you. Keep your distance until the barrier is gone, and when they are at their lowest. One they are, that's when you charge in for the final blow. Just make sure you save your physical energy so that blow can mean something.
Back to the present, HeroDude Kompozes more laser cannons and the laser beams fire rapidly. The laser's impact is so powerful that it slows down The Behemoth's falling momentum.
The Behemoth roars once more as he once again increases in size and crushes the cannons.
HeroDude: OH SHO——
HeroDude tried to dodge but it was too late. HeroDude gets crushed as well.
The Behemoth stands tall…..His height covers the sun….HeroDude barely gets words out.
HeroDude: This dawg is about…..eight buildings tall now…dang…
The Behemoth starts pounding on HeroDude with his mighty fist.
The Behemoth: That's all you got? Hero????? You get crushed once and your done? What type of a "hero" are you?
HeroDude:…..My barrier is gonna crack! These heavy behind fists barely give me any openings! Maybe inbetween the punches I can—-
Suddenly, a rock smacks The Behemoth in the back of the head. The Behemoth turns and sees nothing….he looks back and sees that HeroDude has vanished.
The Behemoth: Huh? Did I really scare you off boy!!!!
Meanwhile, a good distance from The Behemoth, we see Quadeem gently laying his brother HeroDude on the ground.
Quadeem: You good little bro?
HeroDude struggles to move
HeroDude: Man…I'm good!
Quadeem: It's a good thing that I still got my baseball skills. Otherwises you'd would've been a new pancake flavor.
HeroDude: Well if I did become a pancake. At least I would've tasted good.
Anyways, where is that big so of a—
Quadeem: Aye man hold on now. Don't you think you need to lay down. Maybe call this one a day and maybe schedule a rematch or something?
HeroDude: Sucka….That large bastard could crush a building block with his dang toe! Someone needs to stop him!
Quadeem: That "someone" doesn't need to be you right know! Your barrier is barely standing. I can tell.
HeroDude: I see what you did there. But it wasn't funny enough to stop me.
The Behemoth looks around…and then senses something in the horizon…and run towards it. HeroDude looks at The Behemoth's direction and sees the buildings that are in danger.
HeroDude: If he's running that way, then those building gonna get crushed! Quadeem I gotta help them man!
Quadeem: No!
Quadeem grabs HeroDude by the arm.
Quadeem: Kage…I understand your hero gimmick but my boy you can't save everyone! You can keep trying to save and save but it's gonna come to a point where you can't even save yourself!
HeroDude looks down at the ground.
Quadeem: Look. I know you wanna save people. But if you go around thinking you can save everyone you're gonna walk straight to your end and if that happens, you can't save anyone anymore. Is that what you want?
HeroDude says nothing.
Quadeem: Ok then. So come on. Let's go home, rest up and—
Quadeem blinks and HeroDude is gone.
Quadeem: KA—HERODUDE WHAT THE FU——
The voice of his brother echos through HeroDude's ears.
HeroDude: I'm sorry…..but even if one person dies. And an alternate universe exists where I could've saved them….Then I'm not resting!
HeroDude rushes toward The Behemoth
HeroDude: And as long as they are people that need my help…..I AIN'T DYING!!!!!!!
HeroDude rushes toward The Behemoth whose footsteps causes small earthquakes around him.
These earthquakes causes HeroDude to struggle to keep balance but he ultimately holds himself together.
HeroDude: "now why is he running this way?"
As he said that. HeroDude senses another sorcerer nearby.
HeroDude: He's running to another sorcerer! He's trynna get his strength back!
Quadeem catches up to HeroDude….
Quadeem: HeroDude!!!
But the earthquakes causes him to lose balance and collapse.
HeroDude: He'll be fine….he's my big brother so…yeah he'll be aight.
The Behemoth gets close to the buildings, the citizens scream! But HeroDude makes it just in time to Kompoze the falling floor together and create a sticky liquid that pushes back all the buildings away from The Behemoth's wrath.
The Behemoth: Huh?
He looks to his right and sees HeroDude
The Behemoth: You really do like playing hero do ya?
The Behemoth backhands the ground, tearing loose slabs of pavement and flings them at HeroDude.
HeroDude: "He should know that I can Kompoze this stuff by now. He's desperate for that sorcerer."
HeroDude Kompoze the derbies together as they surround The Behemoth with more punch-in-the-boxes
Punches hammer into The Behemoth form every direction. He roared in fury—and his body swelled larger.
HeroDude: No no no we are NOT doing that again!
HeroDude Kompozes two punch-in-the-boxes together and it forms a net that wraps around The Behemoth.
The net applies so much pressure that it starts to make The Behemoth smaller.
HeroDude: Man I am so happy that worked!
HeroDude Kompozes more sticky liquid to push all the nearby buildings back….and then he jumps to the sky and Kompozes a wack-a-mole hammer and WHAM! He smacks The Behemoth right on the dome.
HeroDude: BOY I AIN'T DONE!!!
HeroDude lifts the hammer once again and slams it on the top of the behemoth's head….
HeroDude: Third time's the…..
once more, HeroDude used all of his might and BOOM!!!!!!! HE WACKS THE BEHEMOTH SO HARD THAT THE BEHEMOTH RETURNS TO HIS REGULAR SIZE.
Not just that, An invisible barrier breaks confirming that The Behemoth barrier is gone.
The Behemoth: NO!!!!
HeroDude doesn't flex or celebrate yet. He hits the ground and dashes to The Behemoth. He hears a kid says "he's back to normal size go HeroDude!!"
The Behemoth is still wrapped up. HeroDude rushes in with a huge punch to the nose,
and then spins and follows up with a back elbow and then a spinning roundhouse kick.
He doesn't let up, his fist drives blow after blow into the stomach and ribs. The impact warps the air around them.
HeroDude makes a Boxing stance and constantly smacks the jaw and the face of The Behemoth.
But then....
The Behemoth: STOP ITTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!
His scream forces HeroDude back and then The Behemoth rips out of the net and his right hand grows in size and grabs HeroDude.
He quickly and constantly slams him. And then he grows back in size and throws him across the skies.
Quadeem looks up as his brother is sent tearing through the sky, spinning out of control.
Quadeem: HERO!!!!!!!
The Behemoth looks around and he senses that the sorcerer is nearby in a house.
The Behemoth: That damn little puppy! He's gonna break my barrier???? How dare he!!! But now….That stupid sorcerer is near! I devour him to get my power back!
The Behemoth walks toward the sorcerer who is harassing a mother with her kid.
Sorcerer: Babygirl….Can you please…STOP ACTING LIKE YOU DON'T WANT ME! Look at me! LOOK AT THESE ABS! I'M SEXYYYY
Women: You're just a sorcerer that's abusing there power! Leave me and my son alone!!!!
Sorcerer: Oh? Or what? What are you gonna do? No husband in sight! Even if you had one the could never—-
The Behemoth SMACKS open the house. And now the sorcerer, the woman, and the kid are all alone in the open.
The woman: No….no…not him!
Sorcerer: What….That big bastard is here???? DAMM YOU WOMAN! YOUR BEAUTY SMELL PREVENTED ME FORM SENSING HIM!!!!
The Behemoth looks down at the pathetic sorcerer. He pulls back his fist….charging it up with everything he has left.
The Behemoth: So….THIS IS WHAT IT'S LIKE...TO BE A HEROOOOO!!!!!!!
