Matthew soon became hungry and thirsty. He stumbled across a village looking for food. Soon some thugs approached. Matthew stood up to them. "Who the hell do you think you are?", one of them said. "Get out of our way!", said another one. Matthew's eyes turned red, and without warning, every thug lay dead, and a symbol appeared on his back. "Messatsu!", he said. Someone came up to him and tugged on his clothing. "I saw some man come by here. He took out here before. I believe he was here with a teenager and a little girl.", said the anonymous person. "A little girl...", Matthew silently said, then gasped. "That's...!", he said, and ran leaving the village with no desire for food, only to seek the little girl. As he searched desperately, he one day came across another village. "Excuse me...", Matthew said. "I'd like to speak to this village's leader." The village's elder approached. Matthew spoke to the elder. "I mean this village no harm. I only seek a little girl named..." But he was interrupted by the elder. "Ah, you seek Lynn.", said the elder. "She's busy watering her flowers at this moment." Matthew remembered how much Lynn liked flowers, and every day before the nuclear holocaust, he'd go pick irises for her. "But how can we be so sure you're not working for them?", asked the elder. "I repeat my statement.", Matthew said. "I mean this village no harm." Soon Lynn arrived. She was a cute young girl. "Lynn. It's so nice to meet you again.", Matthew said. Lynn was silent. "What happened to her?", he said. "Ever since 'the incident', she remained silent as a rock.", said a teenage thief named Bart. "Funny. I haven't seen your face around here, and yet... you don't seem... to..." Bart was scared of Matthew, as an evil energy surrounded him. The elder sensed this energy as well, but he didn't realize it until now. "Strip him!", said the elder. "Wait!", Matthew said. "We can't do it now! Lynn's here and she's just a child." Matthew proved his point, so they waited until she left. Then they forced his clothing off, but they found no "Z" mark anywhere. Thought we were behind the whole "them" thing, did you? Instead, they found a symbol on his back, and the elder gasped at seeing it. "Heaven... It's Heaven!", he said. The soldiers were shocked at what the elder said. Soon, the events of the Fist of the North Star anime Episode 1 came along. A man named Kenshiro had entered the village, and was mistaken for a thief. However... "Hold it.", Matthew said. This strayed from the script a little. "Let him have the water. I want to see his strength..." So, Kenshiro gulped the water down, when he was refreshed, the thieves came along. Everyone screamed "Zeed's back!" Matthew was intrigued. "So that's what he meant by 'them'...", he said. "Hey! You!", he said to Kenshiro. "We've got trouble! You mind helping me?"
