My ass!" >Fell from the window, now three guys are looking at me >"The hell are you supposed to be?" "I...I'm the bane of your existence, and you guys are going down." >You can feel your body cringing to the core. >That was horrible. >Comic book heroes make it way too easy to make a quip >"Is this asshole serious?!" The thug asks his people. >"Boy, are you high or something?" >You're sweating like bullets, but you don't stand down. >With a fighting stance, you went on to taunt the thugs. "Let's finish this quickly. I have a date with your sister." >There we go, that was a good insult, but a bit generic >Oh shit the dude's eyes are bulging out in anger >"YOU'RE DEAD ASSHOLE" "AHH!" >In a moment's flash, you unleash an unholy punch.   >|PIISHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWW| >With that punch, the man was launched to the wall like a dart.  The impact was extremely painful for the man.  >He was no match for the speed of your fist. >Oh wow, that felt easy. Now for these two blokes >"Oh HELL no, bitch!" The robber said as he took his pistol out >The thug rapidly shoots 3 shots. Two of those hit you where you stand "GRAAAAH" >HOLY SHIT THAT HURT >Looking at your stomach. It's turning red. Your leg bleeds but it's nothing compared to a bullet to the intestine >"YOU THINK YOU CAN JUST COME HERE AND KICK OUR ASSES FOOL?" >The two remaining thugs took their bats and proceeded to hit you with all their might >"YOU'RE IN FOR A WORLD OF PAIN MOTHER FUCKER" >As the bats hit your bones, you yell like a dog . The ring doubles your strength, but not your ability to withstand pain >So... this is it huh. This is how you die >You begin to lose focus, bats hitting your elbows, ribs and helmet >Suddenly a faint voice from the distance >"You mess with him, you mess with me!" >You use up all your strength to lift your head up to look who it was >A man in a grey jacket wearing football gear >And he's wearing his underwear over his pants >"What the hell...Ack!"   7:11 Split Segment Be Lyra   >Hide  by the wall next to the dumpster >You can hear the hobo in the trench coat telling the thugs about being the bane of their resistance. >It's happening. Blood will be spilled, but you could care less about the masked man. >You do a roll and sneak by the store door. >Tapping lightly, you got your scared mother's attention, who was hiding behind the aisle of junk food >Mother is in tears. Understandable due to a traumatic incident she had when she was a child. >She's petrified by fear, and you couldn't coax her to come out. >|PIISHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWW| >There goes the first punch, now goes the pistol. >BANG!BANG!BANG! went the piece. >Why the hell aren't there any police around here? >They're beating the man up without remorse. >Third guy still holding his stomach in pain. >Oh god, you don't know what to do.

"Oh crap oh crap, what do I do? >You thought to yourself that every hero needs a sidekick. >And you're perfect for the job. >You take your football gear out of your bag. >Helmet, Shoulder padding, gloves. >You strip your pants to wear your underwear out. >Under the belief that it's good luck to do this as a debuting vigilante. >It's not cool to argue with flawless logic. >You rush in, bust up in the store. >"HEY!" you yell at them. >They look at you with confusion, you look at them with determination. >"You mess with him, you mess with me!".         Be Rarity Home   >Something's wrong with my friends. They're hiding something. From me and Pinkie >Looking at Pinkie, she seems a bit oblivious to all of it, but it's not the least of your problems >"It's Norman. He seems to be the center of all this" you theorized. >Twilight and Flutters don't dare talk about all this. Only Brad and Rainbow could spill the beans without looking like they're making up a story. >What could they possibly hide from us, and why? >Well, at least my dear Norman's getting fitter by the second, if he really was working out >Pretty soon, he'll gain muscles from lifting, and then his body...his sweaty sweaty body. >GAH...what am I thinking. >You blush in embarrassment as you try to do your homework.   Be Lyra Heartstrings Store   >You look in a surprised manner as some crazy guy busts in a robbery wearing a football helmet and his underoos out. >"What the hell is up with this town?" says the thug with the gun. >Before the man could even hold the pistol on the new guy's head, he tackles the armed goon to the ground. >Second guy swings his bat down to hit the challenger but he dodges on time and the bat hits the armed thug. >Third guy recovers from the hobo's punch and elbows the challenger, causing him to be stunned. >You rush inside the store while the crazies battle it out.

"we gotta get out of here!" >You check how the guys are doing >Challenger get's his helmet confiscated and gets a punch from second guy >You recognize the guy. It's Flash Sentry! >The hell is he doing?!? >But wait, where's the masked hobo? >Third guy about to swing his bat onto Brad's face >Masked hobo out of nowhere jumps from the shelf aisle and hits the armed goon with a bottle of scotch. >Armed with a broken bottle in his hand and the thug's bat on the other, he gives no mind on his bleeding stomach and body. >Second guy charges in, throwing a straight punch to his jaw. >Masked hobo returns the favor by hitting the guy with the bat, and then scars his face with the broken bottle. >Armed guy looks like he's shitting himself. "Come on, mom we have to go." >You take your mother by the hand and slipped right out of there. >"H-Huh? HEY!" >Shit, the armed guy saw us >He ran towards us and shoved me aside and took my mother hostage >"AAAAAAAAIIIIE!" >"HAHAH!" "YOU BASTARD" >Brad stood up as the masked man took notice after beating the second guy up >"ALRIGHT, YOU NIGGAS BETTER DO AS I SAY, OR THIS IS GONNA GET REAL MESSY" >You look at the thug with anger >No one holds a gun on your dear mother. "HUUUURUGGHHHH" >Sound slowly dims below the hearing line. Cuts forming inside your nose. >Using all the remaining strength you have, you stopped time for the fourth time this day. "AAAAAAAAAAHHHHH..." >The pain is unbearable. >Blood gushes from your nose and mouth as everyone holds their position. >Man's grip and wrist is too strong to pull away from your mother's neck, so you do what needs to be done. >You grab the man's wrist and proceeded to break his fingers, every last one with a glass shard. >40 seconds in. You can feel time coming back soon. >Grab a bottle, straight kick to the nuts >59 seconds, you ready your position >Time flows back in.   Be Norman In Pain   >This is the most painful day you've had >Blood gushing from your stomach, all this because you wanted to stop some goons from stealing shekels >See this asshole taking some mother hostage >Wait a minute, you recognize the girl he just shoved >It's Lyra, and her eyes went blue for 2 seconds >Suddenly the man jumps up and down in pain >Holding his hand, and then his crotch, he bends over to the agony >"OH GOD. OH SHIT" the man whimpers >You look at Brad in confusion. >Lyra raises the bottle and weakly hits it on the dude's head >The man lies down, seemingly unconscious from the event. >You look at Lyra and Brad, both of which tired from the battle that had taken place in this very store. >Silence everywhere. You don't seem to realize what was happening. >"Holy shit we need to get you guys to a hospital!" Brad told you and Lyra. >Frankly, he's the only one here who isn't bleeding like hell. >I held my stomach and leaned towards the wall. The cashier already dialled 9-11. >You unmasked yourself. Was getting hot from the sweat and fear >Lyra asked her mother if she was alright. Brad kept on laughing at the whole ordeal >Police sirens come >"Shit man, we gotta go" Brad insists. "Can't run . This hurts like a bitch" >You can't escape, but you know you can't get arrested for vigilantism and stuff. >You look around, and you see a shadow standing by the distance. It looks like a lady's body, but your vision is blurred by the black eye you got. >At long last, you begin pass out. >"NORMAN" you hear Brad yell. >Darkness invades your mind. Too much beatings. >You let go of your consciousness for a good night's sleep.   End of Chapter 4
