The Warriors: From Zero to Hero

Chapter 9

The Warriors were keeping an eye on Young Hercules in a small town when something very bad happened

The man leaves Young Hercules and the Warriors outside in the street

Okay? Punk said

He was probably just busy. Young Hercules said

Really? Busy? Punk said

Yeah. Young Hercules said

Wow. Punk said

What? Young Hercules said

That sounds stupid. Punk said

But it's the truth, isn't it? Young Hercules said

Still sounds stupid. Punk said

There's no need to... Sophitia said

Suddenly a freesbee falls near at Young Hercules's feet as he picks it up

Huh? Young Hercules said

What the hell? Punk said

What is that? Sophitia said

It's a freesbee. Batman said

Freesbee? Sophitia said

Yes. Batman said

What's a freesbee? Sophitia said

You don't know what a freesbee is? Punk said

No. Sophitia said

Suddenly three boys about Young Hercules's age approach the gang

Yo! Give it here! Boy 1 said

Hey, you need an extra guy? Young Hercules said

Uh...sorry, Herc. We already got...five. Boy 1 said

Five? Punk said

Yeah. And we want to keep it an even number. Boy 1 said

What? Punk said

Hey, wait a second. Five isn't an even... Young Hercules said

The boy snatches the freesbee away from Young Hercules

See ya, Herc. Boy 1 said

What a geek! Boy 2 said

Destructo boy. Boy 3 said

Maybe we should call him "Jerkules". Boy 1 said

Young Hercules sits alone in the center of town square while The Warriors join him

Well, that was messed up. Punk said

It was not messed up. It was rude. Sophitia said

Rude? Punk said

Yes. It was just...rude. Sophitia said

Oh. Punk said

It's alright. Young Hercules said

What? Sophitia said

I said it's alright. Young Hercules said

What do you mean it's alright? Sophitia said

I don't know i'm kinda used to it. Young Hercules said

You're used to it? Punk said

Yeah. Young Hercules said

You're used to bullies making fun of you? Sophitia said

Yeah. Young Hercules said

Wow. Punk said

How horrible. Sophitia said

You must've had a hard time huh? Batman said

Yeah. I have. Young Hercules said

Hard time? Punk said

Yeah. Young Hercules said

How hard? Punk said

Very hard. Young Hercules said

Wow. Punk said

Still horrible. Sophitia said

Let's just keep moving. Batman said

Why? Sophitia said

We promised Amphitryon that we would look after Hercules said

Oh. Sophitia said

Oh yeah, that's right. Punk said

Hulk remembers too. Hulk said

Let's go, Hercules. Sophitia said

Alright. Young Hercules said

The gang was about to leave when the freesbee appeared above their heads

Heads up! Boy 1 said

I-I got it! Young Hercules said

Hercules. Sophitia said

Oh crap. Punk said

No. Batman said

Hercules. Sophitia said

Uh oh. Hulk said

No! Stop! Boy 1 said

Young Hercules catches the freesbee but hits a pillar and falls to the floor

Uh oh... Young Hercules said

That's not good. Punk said

Not good at all. Sophitia said

Young Hercules saw that the pillars were falling apart and had to stop it from happening

Oh no!...it's okay... Young Hercules said

Young Hercules holds the pillar he has hit but others start falling one by one like dominos he sees that and throws the pillar he was holding away but it hits another standing pillar and another domino wave starts going around the square

Hey! Whoa! Young Hercules said

Son! Amphitryon said

Hang on, Pop! Be right back! Young Hercules said

The two domino waves seem to be aiming at the shop with clay pots where the man was at

Oh my! Oh no! Don't! Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no! the man said

The last two pillars stop above the man's head as he sighs relaxed but Young Hercules who was running to save him slips and slides to him fast

Watch out! Young Hercules said

Young Hercules went straight toward the man in his clay pot shop and the town square is now destroyed while Young Hercules stands in the rubble feeling ashamed of himself as the citizens leave the area

Nice catch, Jerkules. Boy 1 said

Are you okay Hercules? Sophitia said

I'm fine. Young Hercules said

Son... Amphitryon said

This is the last straw, Amphitryon! the man said

That boy is a menace! the first voice said

He's too dangerous to be around normal people! the second voice said

Whoa, cut it out. Punk said

Yes. Leave him alone. Sophitia said

You all stay out of this! the man said

He didn't mean any harm, he's just a kid. He-he just can't control his strength. Amphitryon said

I am warning you. You keep that-that-that...freak away from here! the man said

Freak! the first man said

Yeah, go away! the second man said

All of the townspeople left while Young Hercules was in the rubble as he was being comforted by Amphitryon and The Warriors

Aw, man. Young Hercules said

Meanwhile

Lord Dominator was watching the scene on a giant screen while sitting in his throne room

How pathetic. Lord Dominator said

Suddenly Lord Dominator's two minions appeared before him

Yes. Lord Dominator said

Who are they? the second minion said

These are the new Warriors. Lord Dominator said

New? the second minion said

Yes and different from the ones before. Lord Dominator said

How different? the first minion said

Very different. Lord Dominator said

Wow. the first minion said

Interesting. the second minion said

So what do we do? the first minion said

Simple. We destroy them. Lord Dominator said

Destroy them? the first minion said

Yes. Lord Dominator said

What? the first minion said

Excuse me? the second minion said

I have a plan. Lord Dominator said

A plan? the first minion said

Yes. Lord Dominator said

What kind of plan? the second minion said

One that involves bounty hunters and space aliens. Lord Dominator said

What? the first minion said

Excuse me? the second minion said

You heard me. Lord Dominator said

Bounty hunters and space aliens? the first minion said

Yes. Lord Dominator said

What do you mean? the first minion said

I've hired two people to help me deal with The Warriors. Lord Dominator said

You have? the first minion said

Really? the second minion said

Yes. Lord Dominator said

Where are they? the first minion said

They should be arriving right about... Lord Dominator said

Suddenly a motor bike came in and a white-skinned man was on it
