The Dark Hero (Hero Stories)/Part 3

Back in the village the smurfs are just about finished building the stage for the play, Papa along with Brainy were having a chat with Smurfette, "But Smurfette, you must give the public what it wants" Brainy said, "Oh please Brainy, I don't have time to discuss this now" Smurfette answered. Just then Sassette walked up, "Gee Smurfette, thanks to Pappy Gargamel we still need flowers for the play" she said, Smurfette gasped, "Oh dear, my show can't go on without the flowers, I better take care of that myself" Smurfette said, Brainy turned to face Papa with an angry look on his face, "If I was producing the play, we'd at least know who was going to be the star by now", Papa chuckled, "I'm sure we would Brainy. though I must say I think Smurfette is doing a smurfical good job, infact once this is all over we should all do something to show our appreciation". Hero emerged again from under the stage and ran towards Smurfette, "Smurfette wait up!" he shouted, "What is it Hero?" she asked, Hero took a few deep breaths after working for so long, "Just be careful Smurfette" he warned, "Don't worry yoursmurf Hero, I'll be fine" she said, as she made her way into the forest.

Out in the forest, Smurfette was looking at all the flowers around her, "Oh these flowers will look absosmurfly beautiful on stage, I must go back and tell..." a pink mist soon flew past her, she gave it a few sniffs, "Oh my, what is that fragrance?" she wondered, she continued walking forward and soon seen the fragrance was coming from a pink flower she never seen before, "I never seen a blossom like this before" she said, she contined to sniff the flower, she didn't see Gargamel emerge from a near-by bush and pulling on a vine, causing the flower to close. trapping her inside "AHHH!" she screamed, Gargamel walked forward and yanked the flower from the dragon and began making his way towards his hovel, "hehehehe this sweet little snap dragon will soon bring me a bouquet of smurfs hahahaha".

Hawkeye witnessed the whole situation, "Smurfette's in trouble, I must alert the others" he said, as he began ringing his "Calling" bell, the smurfs in the village could be hear the bell ringing, "What in the name of smurf is that noise?" Brainy asked, Hero knew what the sound meant, "That's Hawkeye's calling bell, he's calling for us". All the smurfs ran as fast as they could to Hawkeye's Tree Lookout, when they arrived they could see him waiting for them. "Papa Smurf, Papa Smurf, Smurfette's been smurf-napped by Gargamel" Hawkeye said, "GARGAMEL!" the smurfs shouted, Papa thanked Hawkeye and he ordered his litte smurfs to make their way towards Gargamel's hovel in order to rescue Smurfette, Hero flew overhead, "This smurf will smurf on ahead Papa Smurf" he said, "If you arrive when this smurf rescues her, we'll meet up at the border of the forest" he said, "Understood Hero, good luck" Papa said, Hero shook his head and dashed away as fast as he could towards Gargamel's hovel.

Meanwhile at Gargamel's hovel, Gargamel was busy creating a potion, while Scruple had Smurfette in his hands, "Let me go!, Let me go!" Smurfette demanded, Gargamel continued to add ingredients to the potion, "You'll feel differently my little blue betrayer, when I change you back to your old self hahahahaha" Gargamel said, as he let out an evil laugh, Smurfette gasped, "Oh no Gargamel, you wouldn't, you wouldn't" she said, "Oh but he would" Scruple said, "And once I'm finished, you'll be mine for all time hahaha" Gargamel said, Azrael laughed aswell, "And now one last pinch of pesky powder and we are ready to begin" Gargamel turned towards his book and begin saying the incantation, "The time is right, the spell is set and now give me back my old Smurfette".

Smurfette let out a loud call for help, just as Hero landed on the windowsill, he could see a golden light emerge from the cauldron and began racing around the room, "This smurf must act fast" he said, so he flew towards Scruple, launched an energy blast, striking him in the hand, which loosened his grip of Smurfette, Hero could see the ball heading for her, so Hero increased his speed and pushed Smurfette out of Scruple's hand and towards the floor. Smurfette soon saw Hero engulfed by the spell, she landed of the floor and hid under a table, the spell caused a small explosion which flung Hero under the table where Smurfette was hiding, "Hero are you ok?" she asked worringly, Hero struggled to his feet, "This smurf is fine Smurfette, let's smurf out of here" he said, sounding weak.

They ran for the windowsill, Gargamel seen them, "It's that Heroic Smurf, after him" he shouted, Hero launched multiple energy blasts before escaping with Smurfette. "Drat it all, I can't understand it, she still looked the same, I followed the instructions perfectly" Gargamel said, wondering what happened, Scruple walked up to him,"That's becuase it didn't strike Smurfette Gargie, it striked that Heroic Smurf" Gargamel soon looked shocked at what Scruple said, "What?, well if it striked that smurf, how come nothing happened?" he shouted. Scruple began reading and he came across the reason why it did not work, "The reason why it didn't work Gargie, is because it won't take affect until that Heroic Smurf is struck by the light of the next full moon" Scruple answered.

"The next full moon?... why that's tonight" Gargamel said, in delight.
