The Dark Hero (Hero Stories)/Part 4

When Smurfette joined up with the other smurfs at the border of the forest, she gave Papa Smurf a big hug, "Thank smurfness, you are safe Smurfette" Papa said, sweetly, "But... where is Hero?" he asked, "He was right beside me Papa Smurf" she answered, Smurfette looked back and she seen Hero had collapsed, "HERO!" she shouted, as she ran towards him, "Hero, Hero can you hear me?" she pleaded, there was no response, "PAPA SMURF!, HERO'S NOT SMURFING!" she shouted, Wonder shot out from the crowd of smurfs and ran towards them and then kneeled at his side, "Hero!, Hero!" Wonder said, shaking his shoulder, "What smurfed Smurfette?" she asked, "Hero took the spell, Gargamel made for me Wonder" Smurfette answered.

Papa soon joined them, "Hero's not smufing Papa Smurf" Wonder said, as tears began streaming down her face, "Don't worry Wonder, let me check" Papa said, he first checked for a pulse, he could easily feel it, he then placed his ear on Hero's chest to check for a heartbeat, he could hear it, but it was faint."Hmm, his pulse is smurfy, but his heartbeat is faint, quickly let's smurf him back to my lab". When they got back to the village, Hero was placed in a bed in Papa's lab, "Is he going to be ok Papa Smurf?" Smurfette asked, "I hope so Smurfette, just one question though, what kind of spell was Gargamel planning to smurf on you?" he asked, "A spell to change me back to my un-smurfy self" she cried.

"Great smurfs" Papa said in shock, "Now we will have to smurf our eyes on him, who knows what that spell with smurf to Hero" he said, "But even if Gargamel takes Hero's smurfiness away, you could easily smurf him back to normal right Papa Smurf?" Slouchy asked, Papa let out a sigh, "I'm afraid not Slouchy, the smurfy spell dosen't have the ability to smurf back a smurfs' lost smurfiness, if Gargamel has succeeded in his scheme, we will lose Hero forever". All the smurfs gasped, and Smurfette soon began crying her eyes, "And it's all my fault" she cried, Wonder then gave Smurfette a hug, "It's not your fault Smurfette, Hero was just smurfing, what he normal smurfs, I'm sure nothing with happen to Hero" she said, Smurfette wiped away her tears and smiled.

Later that night Smurfette was making her way towards Papa's lab to check on Hero, she met Tailor and Clumsy along the way, "Hey Smurfette, we have the costumes for the play ready" Tailor said, "Oh how smurfy can the two of you take them to my house" she asked, "Of course Smurfette" Clumsy said, as they made their towards Smurfette's house, Clumsy soon tripped on a rock, causing the box to break, "Oh... uh... sorry Smurfette" Clumsy apologised, "Now, you'll have to carry them all by hand Clumsy" Tailor said angrily, "Come on lets get smurfing". Smurfette reached Papa's lab and knocked on the door, Papa answered the door, "Smurfette, what are you doing here?" he asked, "I'm here to see Hero, Papa Smurf can I come in?" Smurfette asked.



"Of course, Smurfette" Papa said, Smurfette entered Papa's lab and seen Hero was back to normal, "How are you feeling Hero?" she asked, "Still a bit weak Smurfette, but this smurf has enough strength to walk" Hero answered. Smurfette smiled, "Oh how smurfy, do you want to help me, Tailor and Clumsy smurf the costumes for the play?" she offered, Hero shook his head in agreement and he left the lab with Smurfette. The moon was full and as Hero and Smurfette were making their way towards Smurfette's house, the light of the moon struck Hero which caused him to drop to his knee's, "Hero, are you ok?" Smurfette asked, Hero groaned and soon let out an evil laugh, Smurfette could see several changes happening to Hero, the colour of his smurf suit changed to black, the "H" on his forehead also changed to black and his shield tattoo changed to a sword.

Smurfette soon realised that it must be the spell taking affect, Hero quickly got to his feet, clutching his head, "This smurf is sorry Smurfette, but this smurf has to leave" he said, before immediately flying out of the village, Papa quickly ran up to her, "Smurfette, what's smurfing?" he asked, "Oh Papa Smurf!" Smurfette cried, "The spell... it's smurfing". Papa's was shocked at what she said, "Great smurfs!, now that Hero is evil, he'll lead Gargamel to the village" he said, "And what's worse, we have lost Hero forever". As soon as Smurfette heard this, she cried like a baby.

"Harmony, quickly summon the smurfs" Papa ordered.
