Empath The Bandit Smurf

"Empath The Bandit Smurf" is a fanfiction story set in the EMPATH: The Luckiest Smurf story series. It is an adaptation of the Smurfs comic book story "The Jewel Smurfer".

Plot Summary
While Empath is in the forest sparring with Century using quarterstaffs, Century accidentally knocks him into the River Smurf. Century manages to pull Empath to shore, but before he could awaken his fellow Smurf, he heard two humans coming and hid himself while they found Empath and took him with them. The humans were a couple of showmasters, Stanley and Simon, who were desperately looking for new acts in their traveling show, and Empath, who was rendered amnesiac from the blow to his head, became their star attraction. However, Empath also attracted the attention of a con artist named Vincent Devereaux, who blackmailed Stanley and Simon into having Empath steal valuables from the townsfolk in order to pay back a debt they owed him. From that point on, Empath knew himself as the Bandit Smurf, preferring his new identity over the one he had lost, and continued to work for the humans as both an entertainer and a thief while Papa Smurf led a few Smurfs into the human village to find Empath with the help of Polaris Psyche. Eventually, as Empath and the Smurfs are brought before the duke to distract him with entertainments while Empath would steal the duke's most prized treasure, Vincent Devereaux's treachery is revealed and Polaris confronts Empath to help restore his memory so that he could help put a stop to Devereaux and exonerate Stanley and Simon.
