Hello once again. Dark Fortresses here with the final one-shot in the "Definitions of a Hero" series. I can't believe it only took me what? Like three months? Well, enjoy.


If you look up the word "hero" or "heroine" it should say something like "a person who, in the opinion of others, has heroic qualities or has done a heroic act".

By "heroic" do you mean something like "mechanic"? I've been a bit of a mechanic since I was about 13 years old, so I've become quite skilled at it. I'm now in my late teens, if you care. Well, to tell the truth, I have done very few "heroic acts" in the last few years. In fact, I only remember one. You want me to talk about it, right? Well, okay, I guess.

It was during the time when Jak was gone in prison when it happened. What was "it" you ask? Well, "it" was the day someone came out of the sky in a bright light one day. I was just passing by to get to work the day when a tall-ish red-headed man slid off the top of my mid-sized zoomer. He was about as tall as Torn, but he looked kinda like Ashelin. Me, being me, helped the hurting young man to get into my zoomer and to the hospital. Getting the guy to the hospital was the easy part of this adventure. I was talking to him when he was lying in his hospital bed, and he said his name was something like Steve, but I couldn't tell by his thick accent. He also said that he was a place called "Ireland". I did some research on it, and I guess that explains the accent. Steve also said he would love to get back to Ireland. I would like to help the poor man, but I currently don't know how.

Well, I had an idea to get back to Ireland. He is from a planet called Earth. We had to get him back to his home planet. I suggested using a space ship, but professionals said that it'd take at least ten years, and it'd take tons of gas. I had to think of a different plan. I suggested something like "since he came out of a big bright light out of the sky, then why don't we recreate that, but we reverse it?" The people I worked with replied "that's so crazy, it just might work." So I had to interview Steve. The interview went something like this:

"So, Steve, do you remember what you did to make yourself come here?" I asked.

"All I remember is reading a book about time travel." He answered.

"Do you remember what it was called?"

"Um… I believe it was titled 'Temple of Time' or something." As you people already know, I magically found a book called "Temple of Time", and I made Steve read it backwards, like those comic books that you can barely find. It surprisingly worked like a charm. The large beam of light came the moment Steve went outside of my apartment building. I couldn't believe it was that easy, 'cause it seemed like such a hard challenge.

Here I am, years later, and from what I know, Steve is still on his home planet. I gave him my e-mail, but I haven't heard anything from him. We must be too far away from eachother.


Well, I hoped you enjoyed it. I enjoyed writing it. Stay tuned for my next fanfiction, entitled "Dragunov's View on the Holidays". It's a Tekken fanfiction.
