Hero Chapter 3 Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters The town was beautiful, like a picture from a distant time on this planet. Old stone houses and kind people were everywhere. I smiled to each person as I walked through the city. The city was called Tokyo, in Japan. It was so traditional, and music rang through the streets. Lita kept to herself mostly, like this place brought back bad memories. "What's wrong with you? You were happy last night, and then this morning you're silent and not saying anything." I pointed out. "Nothing, I am just fine." Lita replied. "This is one of those times where I am not going to believe you." I said. "Whatever you want to believe is fine with me." Lita replied quietly. I started to worry about her. She wasn't like anyone I had ever met before. She was wild and fun, then quiet and withdrawn. I turned away from her to look at all the shops, when I saw a strange person. He wore a cloak over his face, and was very shy looking. He looked like he couldn't see, and he knocked over some oranges. I ran over to help him pick them up. "I'm sorry! Oh, you don't have to help me, I made the mess!" The man explained. "Aw, don't worry about it, I just." I said as his eyes widened. 'It was him!! Those eyes and that smirk!' I had to get away from here. "I've been searching everywhere for you Piccolo. You were very hard to find. You made me tired, so very tired. Now, I have to fulfill my mission." He said as he smirked. "Ahhhh!" I screamed. I ran as he started to chase me. I pushed aside screaming people as I ran through the city. Running yet again. I started to get tired as we reached the woods, and a thought struck me. 'Maybe I can cut him off at the river and lose him.' It was worth a try, and I still had to go back and get Lita. I had a feeling that she was confused about all of this. I hoped that she was safe because the hitman was chasing me out of the city, he used his powers to blow up the city. An arm reached from beneath the rubble, pushing aside rocks. Lita's body appeared as she threw rocks away from her and tried to stand up. But, there was one rock that she couldn't pick up, and she couldn't move her leg. She realized she had broken it. Searing pain shot through her as she tried to wriggle it out from under the rock, but she couldn't. She twisted it to try again. "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Lita's screams filled the air. I was racing through the woods, and trying not to trip over loose branches. Suddenly, I heard Lita's screams echo through the forest, and I ran faster. When I finally reached the river, I turned left and went under a tree trunk that had curved out a nicely sized hole. I stood there until I saw the hitman run ahead of me and disappear. I stuck my head out of the hole to make sure that the hitman was gone, then I ran back to the city. I was worried that Lita hadn't made it out of the explosion, but hopefully she was okay, or at least alive. Once I got back into the city, I gasped. I saw then the whole city in ruins. Everything was destroyed. I ran through searching for survivors, but there were none. No survivors out of a town of more than six thousand people. I soon came upon where Lita and I were before the hitman had showed up. I looked around, and then saw an arm wrapped around a rock. I ran over to the body, and saw Lita's face. I smiled, and picked up the rock, and threw it to the ground away from us. She squinted her eyes as I picked her up and took off toward the campsite. Once we got to the campsite, I laid Lita down onto some blankets and banded her leg into a cast. It turned out her leg wasn't broken; it was just sprained really badly. I washed off her face with some cool water, and then forced some water into her mouth. "Puuuhhhhhhh!" Lita spit at me. "So, you're back to reality. How are you feeling Miss Lita?" I laughed. "I'm fine. Why did you go back there? I thought you were dead. But, anyway, thanks." Lita replied solemnly. "No problem. I just got caught in some shrubbery, and I had to get myself out, and then I came back to the city to get you. I couldn't leave you there." I explained. "..Okay..." Lita said, not believing me. "Anyway, we are moving up the mountain tomorrow, so get a good night's rest. I'm going to bed now, good night." I said as I walked into the tent. "But wait! Why couldn't you leave me?" Lita asked. I never heard her. I just snuggled into the covers, and fell right to sleep. I didn't know what tomorrow would hold, but I hoped it was a better day.
