( ..you were supposed to be a hero.. )
This was amazing. Have you ever written Doctor Who fics? You'd be WONDERFUL at them!
“I failed you.” The fanboy told his hero and enemy. “Or you failed me. I am not sure.”
*blinks furiously* Noooooo …
“Heroes?” His father fumed. “There are no heroes in this world. All those who fight in this world die before they are old enough to grow hair on their face. They are a silly superstition and you are old enough to give up such nonsense. Who is this Kensei of which you speak?”
*reels*
Suddenly Hiro knew what was happening and the truth crashed upon him like a punch to the gut. A world without Kensei.. without heroes who fought for what they believed. Hiro could not fathom such a place and yet he helped create it.
*feels ill* I don’t want to picture his little face …
One by one, the dominoes were knocked down and before long the Otsu villager became known as The Prince in the legends. Too preoccupied with his new lover, Kensei never searched out his Princess, he never defeated Whitebeard's army and he never ripped out his own heart to save the love of his life.
He also never sought to kill his friend, murder his Princess or conquer Japan.
It was a different ending to the story but Hiro was sure they would be okay.
For slashers, yes!
Some say he is a demon, others say he's only an immortal who grew cold and bitter towards humanity when he found he couldn't die and join his Prince. *cries* Poor Kensai …
It was like flapping butterfly wings, or a really bad episode of Sliders. Being the avid science-fiction fan that he was, Hiro knew he shouldn't be messing around in the past, but he had to do something. The way things turned out originally, with Adam buried six-feet under in Aoyama Cemetery, and Hiro's heart broken over the loss of his hero-- was just terribly wrong.
Then go and DIG HIM UP BEFORE 10th WIFEY DOES!
Hiro had lost count somewhere in between the future with the mutated virus apocalypse future and the future where Adam and Sylar teamed up to destroy Japan.
I WANT TO SEE THAT! Hiro will save them all by distracting Sylar with boylove manga!
There was no grass here, no life anywhere in this world. He'd killed it all, which made him entirely unsure of who was the hero and who was the villain in the grand scheme of things.
Which is why I love post-apocalyptic stuff, even though they make me terribly depressed.
After all, the only alternatives were far worse.
BUT YOU CAN CHANGE THE PRESENT! THE FUTURE IS NOT WRITTEN IN STONE! DIG HIM UP NOW!
