#masked hero

[dominque-writes]

prompt: bragging rights

Oh, it'd been a glorious battle between the Villain and the Masked Hero. Blows exchanged, a couple of thousand dollars worth of property damage, schemes thwarted, and only a rotator cuff tear to show for it on the Villain's end. Exhilarating, exciting. And, regardless, a close one for sure. So close that the fight did not technically have a winner, as the pair were interrupted by the city's cops storming their location.

But for the Villain, any battle not explicitly lost was a victory. Especially one that did not have any witnesses but the Masked Hero themself. And that goody-two-shoes didn't count, anyway. Therefore, it would be described as the Villain's victory to whatever bargoers they could rope into a very much one-sided conversation the next night.

Hours pass as the Villain recounts the battle between several drinks, with a handful of exaggerations here and there on top of a slight fib or two, of course. Bar patrons came and went, but one stayed throughout the entire partially-true narrative, seemingly enraptured. They sit on the stool beside the Villain, elbow braced on the counter, head balanced on their palm. Captivated by the Villain's charming flair and devilishly clever, cunning schemes, naturally.

Alas, all good bragging sessions must come to an end eventually.

"Well, my friend," this particular Stranger says, late into the night, as they push off the barstool. "I should be getting gone before I'm missed."

The Villain rolls their eyes playfully. "Ah, if you say so. Be a lamb and spread the word of my victory, would you? It was honestly- honestly just too glorious to keep all to myself."

"Of course," says the Stranger with an equally flippant laugh, paying their tab as they do. "I do hope your shoulder gets better soon. Joint injuries are truly a different breed of inconvenience."

The Villain nods thoughtfully as the Stranger takes their leave. The villain laughs to themself, drunk enough to give a parting friendly wave. It makes their shoulder twinge with a sharp bite of pain.

A realisation dawns in their hazy mind.

In all their bragging, the Villain hadn't told the Stranger about any injuries.

They stare after the Stranger, gone with the swinging door of the bar. Oh.

Over the Nexus Deck Profile: Masked HERO

Masked HERO is a strange branch on the HERO tree. It consists solely of Fusion Monsters that can only be Summoned with a specific Spell Card (Mask Change), they might as well be Evil HEROES given the lack of specific support while working with Elemental HEROES Ocean and Stratos, and in Over the Nexus there's only two of them. Masked HEROES Goka and Vapor aren't impressive by themselves, just having very basic effects that pale in comparison to Elemental HEROES Nova Master and Absolute Zero, but the strength of Masked HEROES lies not in the Monsters but in Mask Change itself; it's a Quick Play Spell that replaces one of your Monsters with a new one. Basically, this means we can attack with a FIRE or WATER HERO Monster, then use Mask Change to summon Goka or Vapor and attack with that too. And hey, y'know what else is a Quick Play Spell? Super Polymerization. This Deck's strategy is simple; use Mask Change and Super Polymerization to Summon Monsters during our Battle Phase to get as many attacks in as possible. Ideally, this is used to win the Duel with sheer battle damage, if not pull of an OTK. By attacking several times in one turn, this kind of Deck hopes to end the Duel before your opponent gets a chance to respond. You bide your time, collecting the pieces for a combo like this with Pot of Duality, then take the chance to go ham. It's a very silly strategy, but very effective in my experience. Here's the list: MONSTERS (14): Elemental Hero Bubbleman x2 Elemental Hero Heat x3 Elemental Hero Lady Heat x2 Elemental Hero Neos Alius x3 Elemental Hero Ocean x3 Elemental Hero Stratos x1 SPELLS (23): Dark Hole x1 E - Emergency Call x3 Future Fusion x1 Gemini Spark x2 Mask Change x3 Miracle Fusion x3 Monster Reborn x1 Mystical Space Typhoon x2 Pot of Duality x3 Reinforcement of the Army x1 Super Polymerization x3 TRAPS (3): Royal Decree x3 EXTRA DECK: Dragon Knight Draco-Equiste x1 Elemental Hero Absolute Zero x3 Elemental Hero Gaia x1 Elemental Hero Great Tornado x1 Elemental Hero Nova Master x3 Elemental Hero The Shining x1 Masked Hero Goka x2 Masked Hero Vapor x2

POV - Masked Hero Comforts You After Thwarting a Break-in

...

You are hiding from people who broke into your home. After listening to the commotion taking place in another room, all goes quiet. You hear footsteps approaching your location.

"Hey," a soft, but gruff voice calls to you, "It's okay. They're gone. You can come out."

The face you see is that of a younger person in their early to mid 20s. They are wearing a black domino mask and face paint to conceal their identity. You are still scared and on edge.

"Don't worry," the Hero reassures, "They won't be coming back. I made sure that."

They reach their hand out to you, "Come on. Let's get you up off the cold floor."

After some hesitancy, you accept the Hero's hand and allow them to help you off the floor. They are very patient with you, letting you move at your own pace. Your knees are still weak from the ordeal, and as if they knew this, the Hero gently lifts you into their arms.

"Wow. You're a lot lighter than you look." They smile down at you as they begin to carry you to your living room.

"Hey uh..." The Hero pauses for a moment, "Look at me..."

You look up at them. You are curious as to why the sudden shift in their attitude.

"Umm... It's fine, it's just..." They hesitate. The look on their face says they may be trying to choose their words carefully. "One of the guys I knocked out is lying unconscious in the hallway here and I'm about to step over them."

Your heart begins to race again at the thought of being near one of the intruders who tried to harm you. The Hero clenches you, but not too tight.

"No no. It's okay. Hey, look at me," they attempt to maintain your attention.

"He's on the ground and he's not getting up." Their low, raspy voice is almost soothing, "Just look at me... Just me."

You look into their eyes. The color of the deep hued irises still pop behind the black eye paint beneath the domino mask. You feel their weight shift as they must be stepping over the unconscious assailant. They never once look away from you, and you never once look away from them.

"There." A look of relief fills their face and you know the danger is passed. All that remains to get to the living room.

"What's your name?" the Hero asks and allows you to answer at your leisure.

You tell them your name.

"Hmm... I like that," they tilt their head and let out a slight chuckle, "Don't have a lot those around here."

They never lose that comforting smile. It is enough for you to begin to feel safe enough to ask the Hero's name. They have no problem telling you their moniker but that isn't what you meant.

"Oh. Well, I can't just tell you my real name. I mean... I'm wearing a mask."

You both reach the living room. "The couch?" they ask, implying where to let you down. You hesitate.

"No, you're right. The chair looks more comfortable." They take you to the big reclining chair set up next to the couch. "Looks like it could just... Swallow you up." They chuckle again.

"There we go." They set you down in the chair. The cushions are so soft and you sink into it like a marshmallow.

The Hero reaches for something behind them, "Here, take this," and they wrap a thick, warm blanket around. "You can never underestimate the comfort of a good blanket."

As they lean over, you notice a small bit of blood on their costume.

"Oh?" The Hero did not seem to have noticed their own injury in the midst of things. "That's... That's nothing. I'll live," they reassure you, "I've had worse, trust me."

The adrenaline begins to subside. You begin to feel flush and weak. You manage to keep your composure but the Hero sees through this.

"Are you thirsty?" They ask gently.

"Yeah, I can get you something. I'll be right back." They head over to the kitchen and approaches the refrigerator before stopping with their hand on the handle...

"Hey err..." They start with a serious face, "When I open this refrigerator, there's not gonna be a body is there?" Their stern demeanor immediately shifts into that of a playful prankster and they let out a chuckle, "Sorry. Inside joke in the superhero community."

With the world coming back to you, the reality of your ordeal begins to set in. At the mention of a body in the refrigerator, you start to imagine the many different ways this encounter could have gone. It is overwhelming.

"Hey. Hey." The Hero quickly brings you a bottle of water, "I'm sorry. Don't cry. I was just trying to lighten the mood, is all. Not the best time. Here."

They give you the water bottle they had already opened and you begin to drink it. By the time you are finished, over half the bottle is empty.

"Slow down. Slow down," they say, attempting to slow your ingestion of the fluid. "Don't drink too much at once. Even if it is just water."

You let out a sigh as the coolness of the liquid runs down your throat. It is relaxing but you feel that shiver as it follows down your spine.

"Wow, you look like you really needed that," they chuckle and place the bottle on the stand next to the chair. "Well, I should probably go before the police..."

You immediately cut the Hero off from their sentence, grabbing their arm as they try to move away from you. You don't want them to go yet. Despite the danger passing, you still don't feel safe.

"Hey, hey. It's okay," they reassure you, removing the glove from their hand and returning your clasp with a grip of their own.

"I don't have to go yet. I don't have anywhere else to be," that voice, so soothingly deep yet gentle. "My night was actually pretty boring until I got here."

You look into their eyes again and they return your gaze.

"Do you want me to stay with you?" they ask.

You release them, trying to keep yourself from crying, feeling your safe place now exposed and unsafe. The Hero simply gives you another comforting smile, "I can stay with you for as long as you need me to."

Your guard down, you begin to cry. The Hero moves to the chair with you, allowing you to maintain your seat whilst they leverage themselves on the edge. It isn't much but it's enough that they are able to wrap their arms around you and hold you while you cry. "Shh. Shhhhh... I'm right here. I'm not going anywhere. You're safe."

After several moments of allowing the emotions to flow from your heart and your soul and the tears to cascade down your face, your sobbing becomes little more than a whimper. The Hero was silent the entire time but they held you so tight that it made you want to cry harder. Once they were confident you were in a much better state of mind, they finally break the silence.

"You're really brave, you know that?"

You doubt.

"I mean it. No, hey. Listen," the Hero releases one arm and tilts your chin up to meet their gaze again. "You held your own against those losers before I got there."

You try to correct them, that they were the one who saved you, that you don't know how to protect yourself, that you don't know if you would be here if they hadn't shown up. The Hero is having none of it.

"Stop. You're a lot braver and stronger than you give yourself credit for. Yeah. Really."

...

"You know what I think? I think... Your gonna be just fine after I leave. I think you're gonna be able to get through this. And eventually, get passed it. I think you're going to be able to talk to the sketch artist and describe the guys who got away to a tee. I think they're gonna be caught. And I think the neighborhood is going to feel a little bit safer because it."

"Because of you."

"YOU are the hero, here."

"I know. I know. Cliche, but I mean it. You are. All I did was make sure you got out okay. The rest is all you. You survived. And I think you always have."

They wipe your tears away with their ungloved hand. Their hands are scraped and bruised from what may just be a lifetime of fighting but they are no less warm and gentle.

"Just by the way you carry yourself, I can tell you carry a lot. I know that kind of weight. And at the risk of coming off too bold, I'm happy to have been able to lift some of it off you tonight. No one should have to be weighed down by what's not theirs to carry."

"I wish I could do more for you... I really hope it's enough."

You find yourself barely an inch away from the Hero's face. You can feel warmth of their breath. You can almost hear their heart beating through their chest. Their eyes twinkle from the lamp light. Their skin glistens from the sweat running down their cheek. Their lips look so soft and...

"You hear that?" the Hero looks out your window as flashing red and blue lights shine in the distance. "Sirens," they smile, "You did it. You made it."

Relief fills you as you hear the blaring sound grow ever louder. "Time to go," they say, "I'm kind of... breaking the law by being here so I'm gonna sneak out the back."

The Hero takes his hand away from you and they stand up and back away, despite your protests. They turn back to you, that same comforting smile on their face.

"Hey... I'm really glad I met you."

"Maybe we'll see each other again... Under better circumstances though, yeah?"

"Sounds like a plan."

"See ya 'round."

They leave. You hear the backdoor open and shut, footsteps run through the grass, and the creek of the fence as they jump over. They disappear into the night and you await the inevitable arrival of the police.

Episode 2:  A New World. 

After the battle with The Hands I found an empty alley with no one around or cameras. I was able to return to normal; returning to normal was pretty easy. All I had to do was press down on the button to reset the driver. Ones, I was back to normal all the injuries I sustained healed; however I felt incredibly sore, and hungry. I was starving, I ran into the first restaurant I could find before I went back to my hotel. After, I arrived at my room and I went straight  to my bed; I instantly passed out. When I woke up at 12:00 PM Japanese standard time. I felt great, like I had slept for years. 

I walked down to the lobby, and went to a local restaurant for lunch. I sat at a table and looked through the menu before pressing the button to order. As I waited, I ran through my phone looking at Twitter. The top trending topic was a terrorist attack in Japan. I was looking through the feed and all the articles reported over two costumed individuals causing mass terror at a stage show. One was dressed as a monster and the other was dressed like a Yankee dressed in red with white helmet.  The article continued stating that the two individuals began fighting each other; ending with one of the bombs that they had gone off killing the individual dressed as a monster. The article ended with the metropolitan police still investigating the scene. The next article stated that they’re on the lookout for the red dressed yankee, and any information the general public may have. 

As I was looking through the various articles reporting on the incident. I couldn’t find one that used any statements from the surviving victims; only their photos were released. Any statements released made the victims seem like they all had massive psychiatric breakdowns. Making the incident look like it was a terrorist attack, over what it really was. An attack from something from beyond. 

As I continued scrolling through the various feeds. I heard a small cough in the seats in front of me. There sat the girl who gave me the watch, Neko Modoki. Just like how she disappeared, she reapered in front me. She was looking at the menu, keeping her eyes glued on to the steak set meal.  I opened my mouth and asked “would you like the Steak Set?”. As soon as I asked she immediately responded with, “Yes, please!” Her eyes were shining in glee, I pressed the button on the table to inform the waitress that I was ready to order. I informed her that I’d like the Breakfast set and the Steak meal set. I asked if I could have a coffee. The waitress informed me that I could get my own drink, and pointed me to a drink bar. I walked to the drink bar and grabbed a coffee cup and filled it with fresh black coffee. I saw the pink haired girl had grabbed a glass filled with ice and a dark fizzy drink. She walked back to the table and began drinking slowly from her straw.

I walked back with my cup of coffee and sat back across from her. As I took a sip from my coffee cup. Modoki spoke up and started the long awaited conversation: who was she, what's happening in my world, and what was the watch on my wrist? She told me a couple of things that were hard to wrap around my head. 

Modoki told me that she was from another world. Well another dimension, a different version of Earth. One that's more advanced. She came after she had  noticed an anomaly in her lab from something that struck my Earth. Something that had the energy level that could ripple across dimensions. She told me that her civilization had laws about interfering with other worlds, but her curiosity got the better of her. She decided to break that one law and travel to this dimension and what she found was beyond her wildest dreams. 

What she found in the smoldering crater was a robotic being with technological specs that were eons beyond even her world could build. The machine was torn apart with only its head intact. She  informed me that the robot could only respond in  morse code. It warned her that they needed to escape before they came.The moment  the message was transmitted, a beam of red light shot down from the sky falling directly on top of her and the robotic being. Before that could happen Modoki instantly teleported herself back to her world with the mechanical being. She could only speculate that the beam of light was intended to destroy the machine. 

After she had returned to her world, the machine introduced itself as Unit R-999;  She nicknamed it Rine. Rine informed her of an invasion that would soon arrive upon my world.  She had informed Rine that she could not do anything for my world. She did more than she was supposed to or even allowed. Rine corresponded with a champion that would protect it. Rine instructed her in building a watch loaded with both technology from her advanced world and Rines. Once the watch was completed Rine opened its chest showing a red gem that would be the centerpiece of the watch; and what would power it. The gears on the watch began to turn and reverberated as a bright red light broke out from it. Rine had told her that she would need to find a worthy champion who will carry a power greater than anyone has seen before as it shut down. 

She ended her story by taking some ice from an ice filled cup and began munching on them like chips. I had more questions as to where the robot came from and what was it built for? As the flood of questions began to spew from my mouth; our food had arrived. I decided to ask my questions after we ate our meal.

 After finishing our individual meals. I was ready to ask my questions, but before I could ask. I saw her press the button in a blink of an eye and with the button press, the waitress returned. She ordered another 5 additional steak meal sets. I was surprised that she could still eat more, let alone 5 more meals.  I asked her if there was anything else I should know about the watch and my transformation. She replied with, “I know as much about that watch as you.” I was astonished and replied, “didn’t you make the watch?” she replied with a sigh,”Yes I did”. She shook her finger as she continued on, “You have to remember, I was instructed by that machine. A machine not from your world or mine to build it.”   She sat back arching her neck to the ceiling, “ I worked on it and made it, but when that gem was added on. It's like it evolved”. My eyebrow raised as I asked, “It evolved?” She laughed as she responded, “it's crazy isn’t it? That gem evolved, something I built” before she could continue with the conversation the next 5 meals she had ordered had arrived.   

Our conversation ended with her informing me that I didn’t need to worry about any new invaders at this time. She reported that setup a barrier and that it would hold for a year; giving me time to understand how to use the Imagine Driver. She left, informing me that she will be in contact. She had disappeared as quickly as she appeared. The only thing that amazed me more than her disappearance was the check she left me with. All I could do was laugh as I pulled out the remaining yen I had to my name. 

No other incidents occurred as my trip was coming to a close. I waved goodbye to Tokyo to Japan as my plane departed back to the states, and I began my training arc with Imagine Driver (IM). 

Once I returned back to my headquarters IE my condo. I began working to understand the limits of what IM can do and how long my transformation would last. I drove to an empty field 6 hrs away from where I lived with nothing but fresh air, dry grass, and the wonderful view of the foothill; which meant I had to be extra careful not to start a fire. I looked around to make sure I was completely alone; with no one  insight I shouted with all my might, “IMAGINE DRIVER!” My watch transformed from its base form to its wheel form with its digital button at the top saying Breaking Out Initiated! 

I placed the wheel at the pit of the shoulder and drove it down my arm spinning the wheel. The wheel spun intensely.  I struck the button with force that would break glass thus starting the transformation mode shooting me forward into a red wall. As I broke through the illusionary wall; I transformed into the masked hero dressed in red, Imagine Driver Bancho. 

The last time I was transformed I had adrenaline running through my veins and urgency; I hadn’t realized that I was now a hero. That was something akin to a Power Ranger, or a Kamen Rider. A new sense of  excitement began to well up inside of me.The excitement poured out from me springing me into quick little victory jumps. I wondered if this is how the kids from Big Bad Beetleborgs felt when they had their wish granted to become heroes.

After some brief moments of joy, I started to settle down and got to business. It was time for me to start testing the limitations of my abilities and the length of my transformation.   I started my tests at 1:45pm and started my timer at the exact time. I needed an accurate measurement of how long my transformation would hold. I couldn’t make a mistake when it came to it. My world would be invaded soon and I didn’t want a repeat of my first transformation. 

The 1st thing I needed to do was a speed test. The professor had previously told me that armor stats weren’t in speed, but strength. However, I had to test how fast I actually was compared to my normal sprinting speed. I took my mark and shot forward with everything I had. However my speed was slightly better than my own, but I didn’t think too much about it. I just  kept running until I felt tired; by two O’Clock I had run 5 miles. I found myself near the base of the foothills. My speed may not have been the best, but my endurance was godly. 

Next I need to test my strength. I knew I was incredibly strong. However, I didn’t know how strong I really was. I looked around to see what I could test it on, but all I could find was a boulder and the hill itself; and I didn’t think I could measure my strength by punching a hill. So I decided to go for the boulder. I took a random stance and first tapped the boulder with a light punch. What I couldn’t believe was that the littlest tap pushed the boulder forward. It was like a cat tapping on a ball of yarn, it felt like nothing. I tried punching it harder a second time. My fist went through the boulder like it was paper. That’s when something in me snapped within me.  As  I began to run a mock smashing and breaking everything around me like a toddler breaking their toys. 

Everything within my grasp was a toy; Trees felt like chopsticks as they snapped them with my grip; I held boulders in my hand like they were softballs; and I tossed them like bowling balls down a bowling lane. By the time I realized the path of destruction that I’ve caused, 30 minutes had passed and I was still fully transformed. It was safe to say that my transformation could last upwards and up to 45 minutes. The clock was still ticking and I have not reverted back. I was getting ready to head back, when I heard yelling in the distance. I looked around to find where the voice was coming from, but I couldn't locate it. I was going half crazy trying to find the location of the voice when, “If you're going to play the hero. I’ll give you a hand.” It was Professor. 

All of the sudden a heads up display lit up on the inside of my mask with an arrow pointing the way.  I didn’t think much of it,  I just began running with everything that I had. I wasn’t going any faster, but the professor shouted,”Jump!” My body responded to her shout and leapt forward. My body shot up into the air. It felt like I was flying, I moved faster through the air than I would have done running, but I didn't prepare for the landing. In the words of a pro skater, I ate big time bro.  I left a skid mark of dirt on the ground. The professor asked as I was stumbling back to my feet, “that was a nasty fall, you good?”. I replied, “Ya, I’m good, didn't feel a thing.” As I finally stood up right, I looked up towards the direction the arrow was pointing.  Where I saw the dangling figure on a cliff holding on to deer life. 

“Shit” I shouted, “What do I do?”. “You’re the hero, figure it out?” the professor retorted. I was freaking out, as I tried to figure out what I could do to save the person from pending their doom. All I could think; all I could do was just jump. I jumped as high as my legs could take me. My body flew atop the cliff face like a rocket shooting off into space. As I reached the person,  I noticed the pace of my ascent wasn’t slowing down. I stuck my hand out into the cliff and dug my fingers into bedrock; it slowed me down enough to be near them. I was still more than a couple of meters away from them. 

I made my way to them by climbing like a gargoyle. Digging, my fingers into the cliff side moving slowly, but keeping my eyes dead set on them. I was no more than mere meters away from them as I called out to them, “You, person hanging on by thread I’m here to rescue you”. In retrospect I could have come up with a better opening line as the hero that arrived to rescue his first civilian; but I wasn't as prepared as thought I'd be.They turned their heads from looking up, and looked down towards me. In a panicked voice, “Who.. Wh..Who are you?”. I dug my feet straight into the wall. Once, I knew I had a solid grasp of it. My hand let go of the wall that it had a firm grip on. As I struck a pose my arms folded and my feet firmly stuck to the cliff proclaiming, “I’m the Hero of Justice, Chivalrous man dressed in red.  THE IMAGINE DRIVER; BANHOU!” 

They stared at me in a stupefied look as they uttered, “Whooo!?” The single utterance took the wind out of my sail. All I could respond with was, “I’m here to save you. Just keep holding on.” I returned to my climbing position and continued my ascension. As I was getting closer to them; a strong gust of wind descended on the cliff side. The wind felt like it was trying to throw us off the cliff.

  I began to worry thinking that they didn’t have much time, so I started rushing to them. They began to panic with the gust of winds crashing on the cliff side like tidal waves. They began shouting in a panic, “hurry, hurry please! I can’t hold on much longer!” They began to wiggle and trash while holding on. “What’s your name!” I shouted. They responded with, “What?!”. I repeated myself, “What’s your name?”. They responded with, “why are you asking now? Can't you see my life in danger?. “I know” I responded, “I just feel like it's important to know, who am I saving?” They shouted back, “Does it really matter!?. “Yes!” I shouted, “Now talk!”. They started talking, “My name is Rachel," “Hi Rachel,” I responded. They continued with  “I’m an engineer, and my favorite fruit is strawberries” . They continued on talking about themselves, their voices and actions started to relax. They were no longer panicking. 

As I finally got close enough to grab them. The wind hit the cliff side like a wall pushing them off. I acted quickly and grabbed them, losing my position on the cliff. We began to fall together, I held their head to my chest as we fell. I was trying to think of a method to safely land on the ground, but nothing came to mind. My first mission as a hero is going to end with the death of a civilian. I tried my best to make sure that I took the full brunt of the force the closer we arrived to the ground.  When the professor finally shouted at the top of her lungs  “use your coat!” with those words I took to action. I let go of Rachel for a split second; it took off my coat grabbing the sleeves with one hand, and then grabbing Rachel with the other. My coat quickly caught the wind and began to work as a parachute, slowing our descent. 

We finally landed safely, I let go of Rachel. They dropped on the floor holding their chest breathing heavily. “As far as 1st rescues go. I feel like that went without a hitch” I said trying to  break the silence. “Are you crazy!?” Rachel shouted. I responded, “Ya kind of? Anyways, you're safe now” I said while doing a Kamane Ridder-ech pose. They stared daggers into me, as if they were ready to kill me. “Well then Rachel.” I said, “Do you have your phone?” She looked at me weirdly, “No, why?”. I sighed and said, “Well this isn’t going to earn me any points, but..” I picked them up like a princess and told them not to bite their tongue. I started to make small leaps forward.

After five minutes of leaping through the hills and trees. I finally found a gas station, and landed there safely. I gently dropped Rachel onto her feet, she stood for less then a second before falling on her knees like a newborn doe. I walked toward the gas station attendant staring weirdly as if they had seen the most insane spectacle in their lives. I asked them, “ Umm.. sorry for popping out of nowhere there. Do you have a phone? Or landline? I need to call an Ambulance to check on that lady over there”. The attendant looked at me wide eyed and said, “Yes, is that lady going to be ok?” they pointed at Rachel who was still on her knees in a daze. “I hope so, but she did fall off a cliff and uhhh, she looks ok?” I responded. “However” I stated “I’m just a guy in a biker helmet with a red coat. So can you call the Ambulance?” The gas attendant began to call the ambulance.

After some time the ambulance arrived and checked on her.  I made sure to stick around until I knew she was ok. “Take care of her” I told the paramedics as I began to take my position and make my exit. “Wait” someone shouted from the ambulance. I turned back and saw one of the paramedics running towards me, “wait!” they shouted. “ What's your name!?” they asked. I looked at them and looked back at the ambulance; and saw Rachel laying on the gurney all packed up. I began to take a pose and state my name with gusto, “ I’m the Hero of Justice. Garbed in Crimson. The one that imagines a bright future for all! The IMAGINE DRIVER! BANCHO!” They looked at me weirdly like they saw something outrageous. After a brief second they burst out laughing, I was taken back by the reaction; but I can understand based on my stylish actions. “Bancho. I’ll remember that.” giggling as they responded. I took off after that interaction making my way back to my car. 

The professor spoke to me while I Jumped forward, “Good job today Geo” she stated.  I responded, “Was that alright professor? I felt like that could have gone better.” She responded with a light giggle, “Do you think the heroes you’ve read about, in your comics. Would they have done as  you did their first time?” I responded immediately with, “Yes! They would have done a better job saving her then me”. Professor took a brief moment before responding, “then you're going to have to train more and learn how to use the [Driver] and unlock all its secrets.” she continued on, “We have 1 year before the barrier falls, and as far as we know [The hands] was the only one that made it through.” I took a deep breath. Before I could respond the professor added, “the Imagine Gem chose you, have some confidence.”

Rejected Bad: Masked Hero

The following is a rejected script from an early season of Breaking Bad.

INT. WHITE RESIDENCE - LIVING ROOM - DAY

WALTER WHITE, a science teacher turned simple and harmless methamphetamine manufacturer, is watching the news report about a mysterious masked vigilante taking down crime in town. Intrigued, he adjusts his glasses.

TV REPORTER: (On screen) In a shocking turn of events, a masked figure known as "The Phantom" has been dismantling criminal operations throughout the city. Their impressive acrobatics and gunplay have left the police baffled.

INT. SUPERLAB - NIGHT

Walter is overseeing his meth lab, meticulously observing the process. Suddenly, the lab shakes, and an explosion occurs, ruining a batch of meth.

WALTER WHITE: (angry) What the hell just happened?!

CUT TO:

EXT. UNDERGROUND PARKOUR COURSE - NIGHT

"The Phantom," clad in their mask and costume, disappears into the shadows. We see their incredible acrobatic skills and swift movements.

INT. WHITE RESIDENCE - LIVING ROOM - FOLLOWING NIGHT

Walter watches another news report about The Phantom, fuming with frustration.

TV REPORTER: (On screen) The Phantom strikes again! This time, shutting down a notorious drug operation on the outskirts of town.

INT. WHITE RESIDENCE - WALT JR.'S BEDROOM - NIGHT

Walt Jr. removes his mask and costume, revealing himself as The Phantom. He carefully places his crutches beside his bed and takes out his laptop.

WALT JR.: (to the audience, breaking the fourth wall) That's right, folks. I am The Phantom, the masked vigilante taking down crime in our town. And my secret stays safe with me.

FADE OUT.

So I got this idea that merges Elemental Heroes, Masked Heroes and Contrast Hero, I got it upon realizing that Elemental Hero fusions are often the mix of two different heroes but only one attribute is taken into account.

Let me do an example of what my idea is:

Contrast HERO Flame Wingman

Level 6

Wind Attribute

[Warrior/Fusion/Effect]

(This card is al treated as a Fire Attribute)

Must be Fusion Summoned by using Change! On a Wind or Fire Attribute HERO monster. When this card destroys a monster, inflict damage equal to the destroyed monsters ATK.

ATK 2100/DEF 1200

And then the same principle applies to every other Elemental Hero Fusion Monster with the exception of Shining Flare Wingman, which you just use Change! On Flame Wingman to summon it.

Linktober 2023 – Day 15. Favorite character

The Hero of Time is the best Link, I love him so much 💚

He breaks my heart though.

This took forever but was worth every second! I guess I'll just keep going at my own pace now that I'm terribly late.

Did you know Masked HEROES are in Over the Nexus? I forget that often, I associate them primarily with the Zexal and Arc V eras of the TCG, so seeing Mask Change in a 5D's era game still kinda surprises me. But there's only two Masked HEROES in the game. And they're not the good ones

#yu-gi-oh! #world championship 2011: over the nexus #masked hero #mask change #masked hero goka #masked hero vapor #(those are the two masked heroes in question) #(believe it or not i actually think they have potential for a cheesy strategy)

Hylian Game Titles pixel art project is complete! Please enjoy all 19 games in their respective Hylian script.

This was honestly super fun to do. I feel like I know so much more about the world of Zelda, and I've started to find small things in games I've never noticed before. I can confidently say that I'm fluent in Hylian now.

Which one is your favorite?
