There wasn't any way around it.
He had killed them.
Murder, they had called it.
It was self-defense, his friends had pleaded. Surely not murder, they had cried. Manslaughter, perhaps, but never murder.
But it was the simple truth.
Two were dead. One was guilty.
"They were some of our worst enemies." , said Ralph, a friend of the defense, "They attacked us all the time."
"I remember one time when they had captured Bomberman, and the defense went off to save him, Bomberman would have been dead if not for the defense.", claimed Rukeifelth, Bomberman's newly found friend.
"The Evil Bomb Squad, one of the most infamous crime organizations in the history of the galaxy," the defense lawyer would be remembered for years to come to have put so eloquently at the trial, "has plagued our world time and time again with their heinous deeds. Now, when an innocent victim defends himself against two of these criminals how can you, the jury, can even begin to contemplate sentencing him to a cruel punishment in jail?"
The lawyer may have had a point, but the truth was still there, cold and unforgiving: two young adults, not even in there twenties, killed before they could show harmful intent. No harmful intent meant there was no way the killing could have been written off as self-defense.
"They didn't need to 'show' bad intent," Ralph protested in vain. "They showed bad intent every time! Over time, we just came to expect them to fight us whenever they showed up."
A practical excuse, but a futile one, nonetheless.
Here are a few comments from the Defense's friends:
"There's no way he could be guilty, a gentle creature like him.", said a one Rukeifelth.
"I forever owe my life to him.", said a one Lilith.
"I'll never forget the little guy.", said a one Regulus.
Unfortunately Bomberman was unavailable for comment.
The two members of the Evil Bomb Squad were laid to rest in a normal cemetery, as for the verdict.
Guilty.
In a jail cell currently being shared with Leon, the infamous rapist, a small, Kirby like creature sits on a dirty cot. It sits, totally oblivious to the cruel world it, from the Officers pushing food under the doors, to the occasional visit of one of his friends. The creature has been known to sit in the same position for hours, with eyes wide open, glittering with tears and staring at everything, but nothing at all.
"POMMY IS INNOCENT !!!"
THE END
