Fergus and Hawkeye watched as their friend Hero continue to exhibit strange new abilities since the day he discovered that he could fly with the Power Stones' powers. However, they could also see that most of the other Smurfs looked rather fearful being around Hero, as if he was becoming something more than just a regular Smurf, not to mention something more dangerous.

They saw Hero coming in from a landing, his body still glowing with the aura of Power Stone energy. "Laddie, you're still glowing like a firebug," Fergus said. "You might want to smurf it off so you don't blind your fellow Smurfs."

"Sorry, Fergus, I just can't figure out how to control this ability," Hero said. With a bit of concentration, the fiery aura faded, and Hero was back to looking like his normal self.

"How are you able to smurf those new things, anyway?" Hawkeye asked.

"I think it's the Power Stone energy that I absorbed when I found them, Hawkeye," Hero said. "I thought it was really smurfy that it gave me the ability to fly without needing a stork, but then with all these other powers that I'm smurfing, like smurfing energy blasts and this glowing aura that I can smurf, I feel like I'm becoming something even more powerful."

"Aye, I can see that the other laddies aren't very comfortable with the new you, Hero," Fergus said.

"Truth to tell, even I'm not comfortable with the new me myself," Hero said. "Already I can hear some of my fellow Smurfs saying to themselves that I'm becoming some sort of power-mad freak."

"Power-mad freak?" Hawkeye said. "Ah, don't listen to everything the other Smurfs say. They're just jealous that they don't have these abilities you have. You should think of yourself as being the luckiest Smurf in the village."

"I'm not sure I would smurf so far as thinking that the other Smurfs are jealous, but still, you've got something that the other Smurfs don't," Fergus said.

"Yeah, I've got a feeling that these new abilities are going to smurf me into a lot of trouble, all right," Hero said.

"That's why you've got to smurf the time to learn how to control them, Hero, and don't let what the other Smurfs say try to smurf you," Fergus said.

"Yeah, you can't help it if this may be like the next phase of Smurf evolution or what have you," Hawkeye said. "Just try to keep these new abilities under control, and you'll be able to smurf the mouths of those who'll smurf fun of you."

"To smurf the mouths of those who'll smurf fun of me," Hero said to himself as he looked at his clenched fist, feeling like he wanted to do so right now, but fearing what would happen if he did. - Sometime later, Hero was approached by Jokey when he was all by himself. "Say, Hero, would you like to smurf a wonderful present from me?" Jokey asked.

"I'm really not in the mood right now, Jokey," Hero said.

"Aw, come on," Jokey said. "I'm sure you're going to like what I have smurfed you for a present this time. It will really smurf you back in the right mood."

Hero considered what Jokey was saying. "Well, maybe it wouldn't hurt for me to accept your present," he said as he took it from Jokey and opened it up, only to get a powerful explosion that knocked Hero off his feet.

Jokey laughed at Hero's mishap. "What's the matter, you power-mad freak? You couldn't smurf your powers to contain the explosion or something?" he said rather mischievously.

Hero felt his anger suddenly boil to the point of eruption in a matter of seconds. "HOW DARE YOU CALL ME A POWER MAD FREAK!!!" he shouted.

"Oh, don't be such a spoilsmurf, Hero," Jokey said. "It was just a harmless joke."

But Hero wasn't listening. Soon Jokey saw that Hero's body was glowing with the Power Stone aura as he rose from the ground, looking like he was going to attack.

"Hero, what are you doing?" Jokey said, sounding a bit fearful. "Hero, stop!"

Papa Smurf and the other Smurfs noticed a powerful glow coming from somewhere in the village. "That must be Hero," Papa Smurf said. "Quickly, my little Smurfs, get yourselves to safety while I found out what's smurfing on."

"But Papa Smurf, what about you?" Brainy asked. "If Hero's becoming a danger, you could get killed if you smurf close to him."

"Don't worry about me, Brainy," Papa Smurf said. "Just smurf yourself to safety with the other Smurfs and let me handle this."

"Y-y-y-y-yes, Papa Smurf," Brainy said as he joined the others in fleeing the village.

Papa Smurf got closer and closer to the bright glow, which was starting to fade the closer he got to its source. And then he saw for himself Hero standing above Jokey's body as it was smoking, looking like he had been hit with a titanic burst of energy.

"Great Smurf Of Fire!" Papa Smurf exclaimed. "Hero, what have you done!"

Hero wilted, as if he couldn't stand to see what had just happened. "Jokey made me so upset that I just erupted in anger...and I'm afraid that I have killed him," he said with a big lump in his throat.

Papa Smurf pushed past Hero to examine Jokey. "Jokey, please, wake up...it's me, Papa Smurf," he said, sounding very upset. But there was no response.

Hero watched as Papa Smurf picked up Jokey in his arms and carried him to the village hospital. At that moment he wished that he could just disappear from the village forever so that he wouldn't face the other Smurfs and what they would call him now. - The other Smurfs gathered around the hospital as Papa Smurf worked with Doctor, who at the time was still a student learning his medical skills, in their attempt to revive Jokey, hoping and praying that Jokey would return to life again.

"Well, I knew it that Jokey's jokes was going to be the smurf of him someday, my fellow Smurfs, but oh no, he had to smurf this lesson the hard way," Brainy said in his usual nagging tone.

"Don't smurf all the blame on Jokey, Brainy," Hefty said. "It was all that Kakarot's fault, that power-mad freak who just had to smurf us how powerful he is."

"Gosh, I never thought Hero would be this powerful when he's upset," Clumsy said.

"Boy, this is so upsetting I don't know if I could ever eat again," Greedy said.

"I hate Hero Smurf," Grouchy said.

"You said it, Grouchy," Vanity said. "This time Hero's smurfed too far."

"Yeah, we don't need his kind smurfing in the village," Handy said.

Soon Papa Smurf joined the others outside the hospital to tell them the news. "It seems that good fortune has smurfed upon us, my little Smurfs...Jokey is still alive, but just barely."

"But what are you going to do with Hero now, Papa Smurf?" Brainy asked, as the other Smurfs also voiced the same question.

"I'm afraid that I have to smurf the one thing that I would never want to smurf upon any Smurf, but for his own good and the good of the whole village, I must exile him into the forest until he can learn how to control his abilities," Papa Smurf said.

"Exile Hero Smurf?" some of the Smurfs said in unison.

"Well, that Kakarot Smurf deserves to be exiled," Hefty said. "The less we smurf of him in the village, the better."
