Captain's Log: 0307.14

>.<

I'm sorry, everyone. I failed. Everyone put their faith in me as a leader, and I let the party down

Our mission was a disaster. I still don't know how many of us got captured, but I think everyone has been let go by now. I don't know how many others remember what happened. It may be that only I kept my memories. It was a critical botch...

There are many reasons why we failed. But as leader, I must take responsibility. I let everyone down. I was too quick to trust, and too careless. I argued with my father, but he's right. I was a fool. I must never again risk so many, or trust so many. If a hero's path is to be walked alone, then I must walk it alone. I guess this is going to be a single-player game.

But I still believe that our mission was just. There is no such thing as an acceptable evil. The Company was started by good people who decided that there could be an acceptable evil. I cannot accept the acceptable evil.

I will never deserve the forgiveness of the friends I endangered, but I can try to be the hero they deserved in the first place. I just hope I'm still capable of that...

I don't think I've ever seen father so furious. But... at least I don't think he was disappointed. That's something, I guess.

For Charlie, Hiro

P.S. Sylar got out of prison I hesitated too long. How could everything go so wrong so fast?

Sylar hurt someone. He'll keep hurting people, no matter where he is.

I have to finish what I started. I have to kill Sylar. But it's wrong. I know it's wrong. He's powerless and in prison. It would be murder. But if I don't... how many more people will he kill? I may be the only person who can get to him.

I was ready to kill him to save the world at Kirby Plaza, but this... this is murder.

I'm sitting in Charlie's diner in Odessa. It's 2 AM. I've been here for three hours. At least it's open all night.

I don't know what to do.

What else can I do?

For Charlie.

The Hard Part

Captain's Log: 0307.06

First order of business: Yatta! I got some very good news today. It means some hard choices, but I'm just happy to hear it.

Plus, Sylar was caught by the police! I don't think he has his powers, so I guess they can probably keep him under lock and key. Maybe they'll actually just lock him up forever? I don't think New York has an Arkham Asylum... I'm glad, though. Just like Ando is a hero without any powers, the police are heroes, too. My sword is still missing, though. I'll have to get it back. I'm using Ando's nagamaki for now. Like I said before: It is the man, not the sword. Still, it just isn't the same. I don't have Weapon Focus for this one!

Still, a warrior and his weapon are one. I will find it. D: I gotta.

Now that that's out of the way, the bad news. Nothing is really as simple as it looks. I talked to somebody who works for a big Foundation. She said that she used her company to prepare for the day when the Evolved (that's what Dr. Suresh called people with powers) take over the world, because a war between "us" and "them" is inevitable. She said we had to be prepared to replace the old by force, if we had to, because evolution could never be peaceful.

I was hoping she would be able to help us fight the Company. But I think she might be bad, too. She didn't have a costume like Magneto, but maybe it's the same anyways. She thinks she can see the future. But I know the future isn't set in stone. But... @.@ The things she said make sense. The Company proves it.

But I can't believe her. If we don't try to change the future, we never will. I have to believe in people. That is part of what makes a hero. Maybe it's the biggest part.

And what's more, maybe the Company isn't all bad? I mean, my father used to be involved, somehow. I'm not sure of the details. I have to stop them from kidnapping people, but what if some of the people they lock up are villains like Sylar?

Everything's so complicated. I'm gonna call a meeting and talk about this with everyone. It's not just me and Ando anymore -- I can't act until I'm sure we're doing the right thing.

A hero's path is never easy. Becoming a hero was hard enough -- can I really live up to being one? If I even completed my journey at all.

I'll follow my heart. It's the only thing I can do.

For Charlie, Hiro

P.S. I hope Kellie is safe, wherever she is. If you're reading this, Kellie, please come home. We're all worried about you! I'm worried about you. Whatever you're looking for, we can help you find it. I want to help you find it.

Back From Tannhauser Gate

Captain's Log: 0307.3

@.@

Sorry I haven't posted in a while! Didn't mean to keep you guys in the dark. I got a little hurt. But I'm better now, and ready to get back on my mission. And the good news is that, even if I got hurt... I finally did something really heroic. This time, I used my powers to save someone from Sylar. This time, it worked. I did it.

Now, more than ever, I know I'm on the right track. I've gotta be. Now I just have to keep going forward. To infinity and beyond if I gotta!

Anyways, I promised I'd tell you all about what's been happening, so I'm gonna.

Kellie's still missing, but I think she's in a place called Hartsdale. I'm still looking for her there, but I don't know if I can find her. I hope she's okay, wherever she is. I hope the Company hasn't gotten her back.

I found Kensei, too. Or Kensei found me, anyways. He IS alive, still, and he hasn't forgiven me. I don't know if I blame him. Kensei, more than anybody... I failed him. I tried to convince him to come back from the Dark Side, but he didn't listen. I just know that if Kensei and I worked together, we could save the world. Is the hero I knew still in there, anywhere? He was even worse than when I saw him last. I guess three hundred years can do that to a guy.

AND I met Sylar. I mentioned him earlier. I guess you must have been worried! I didn't defeat him, but I stopped him from hurting some of my friends. We actually chased him off, even though he got away. The bad news is that he got my sword. !.! I hope he doesn't hurt anybody with it, but I guess there's nothing he could do with it that he can't do without it. I'm just worried he'll break it or something. The funny thing is, he didn't use any of his powers when I saw him. He was actually using a gun. Does he have some kind of gun power, now? Like Bullseye...

It doesn't matter. No matter what, I'm going to stop him. If everybody's counting on me, I won't let them down.

Thanks to everyone who helped me! I can't say who or what, but you know who you are. I will never forget, and I will make sure that the gift you have given me is not wasted. This is only the beginning of my mission.

For Charlie (always), Hiro

The Thing She Said

Captain's Log: 0702.27

A lot of stuff happened today. I'll tell you all about it later, I promise.

Kellie's missing. I think she ran away. I just hope she wasn't taken. We're out looking for her in shifts, so I'm going to go out soon.

A little girl told me she was in a place called "Hartsdale". I think it's in New York, America. I remember her from somewhere, too. Was she at Kirby Plaza? Either way, I'm going to go to Hartsdale in the morning.

The little girl...

...she said that I was the one who made the boogeyman go away.

Whoever you are, thanks.

Now I've just got to keep him away, and all the others.

For Charlie, Hiro

Too much, too fast!

Captain's Log: 0702.26

It's actually been kind of quiet for the last couple of days. Maybe it's the calm before the storm... time enough to do a few side quests, though! I haven't stopped trying to find out what the tornado is, but it's DC25 hard. I just have to keep my eyes open.

I'm kind of nervous. @.@ Last time I went on a journey it was me and Ando, and then it was me and Kensei. Now there are so many people... and they're all looking to me for answers. I think they think I'm the leader. The bookstore lady yesterday asked me what I wanted her to do. A friend of Mr. Jack's came by and asked me what I wanted him to do to save the world. I thought I had become a hero, but a hero and a leader? I don't know if I've got what it takes. I wonder where the others are, who fought Sylar with me. Flying Man Nathan is hurt, and I think it's not just his skin that got hurt. Peter Petrelli... I'll keep fighting on, in his memory. But where's everyone else?

What am I thinking? Just because destiny is hard does not mean a hero can fear it. I've got to keep going. If everybody's really counting on me... I can't let them down. But they're even scarier than Sylar, sometimes. @.@

Oh yeah! Got into a random encounter (don't worry, it wasn't a Cactuar :D). I don't wanna say who, but I think it was somebody who needs my help bus is afraid to ask. The hard thing is that... well. Indy would say it smells like a trap. But if somebody needs my help, what kind of hero turns their back on them because they're afraid of being betrayed?

A hero must proceed even when he knows he is proceeding into danger. That's the first rule of bushido!

I just hope it doesn't mean 'Game Over'...

Hero Get?

Captain's Log: Supplemental

Mr. Jack found another painting by Mr. Isaac, and another hero! Well, kind of. I wasn't expecting something like that to happen today. I didn't think it through well enough, and I am afraid I may have made someone a part of this who doesn't have to be. She had a painting, and that put her in danger, but I went too far. I think she got a little freaked out. I cast Confuse on her by accident. @.@

Flying Man was right. I need to be more careful with the secret, because it's not just my secret, it's everybody's secret. It's not right for me to risk it like this. That doesn't mean I can let it stop my mission to bring all the heroes together, but I have to think before I act. That's what father would say, anyways! I don't like lying, but I'll do it to keep everyone's identity safe, as long as it doesn't get in the way of saving the world.

I think I was wrong about Mr. Jack, too. Even after he started helping me, I thought he was kind of mean. I don't think he is. Maybe he tries to be. He reminds me a lot of Flying Man that way.

Anyways! I'm all out of MP again. I can't wait to go to sleep. Sweet dreams, everybody.

For Charlie, Hiro

The Mission!

Captain's Log: 0723.23

>(o.o)> <(o.o)< \(o.o)/

I think I know what my destiny is. I still don't know how to stop the tornado, but I found two more heroes today! Last time, I thought I would have to save the world on my own, but then I found Peter Petrelli and Flying Man and everybody else. I still need to find Sylar, and figure out what the tornado is, but until then, I think my mission is to get the word out. It's recruiting. I gotta get all 108 Stars of Destiny! I don't want to put people in danger, because this is really dangerous, but I at least gotta warn them about Sylar and the Company. If Sylar is still out there, he could keep killing. I can't let anybody get hurt, not like Charlie was.

I went to a friend of my family's because I thought maybe the police could do something to stop the Company. I knew it was dangerous, but I had to try. And he turned out to be a hero, too! Just like Lightning Lad. He made me promise not to call him that, but Electro is a bad guy, so I won't say that. I don't know for sure, but I think he's going to help me. I hope so, anyways... He told me that the police were after Sylar. I had to warn the police, too. If they tried to arrest Sylar, he'd kill them.

I found another hero at the police station! I can't say who, 'cause I need to keep their secret identities safe. I think finding people is the best way to get ready to stop the tornado and protect them from Sylar. I just hope I'm not just putting people in danger... I don't think people should feel like they have to risk their lives. That's not fair. But I need to warn them at least.

Does this make me the Tenkai Star? I hope it's not arrogant of me to say that...

Anyways, so far, so good. I think I'm beginning to figure out what I have to do.

For Charlie, Hiro

PS I bet this makes Ando the Tenki Star, 'cause he's my master strategist. I told him that, but he didn't get it. Boo. x.x

Heroes Don't Take Breaks

Captain's Log: 0702.23

＿|￣|○

So tired! I've been teleporting all over the place lately. I'm probably burning MP like mad. I'll have to sleep at the inn tonight and recover. I can't wait! Now that I know what my mission is, I'm busy all the time, too.

I went to see flying man Nathan. He is very sick after what happened. I brought him a present (my Game Boy DS. I put it back in its box, too, but I couldn't afford to buy him a new one. I gave him Brain Age. I think he will like playing Sudoku. I also gave him Warioware and Final Fantasy VI. I think he'll really like it! I don't have time to play Game Boy right now anyways, even if I stop time!

Kellie is settling in, too. She doesn't remember anything from her past. I teleported home to go grocery shopping. She's never had mochi, or chocolate milk. I made her waffles, and I think she really liked them. She's probably one of the nicest people I've ever met, even if she is very confused. I'd be confused to. I can't believe anybody would imprison her and cut her up like that. I'm just glad she's getting better. I hope I can find her family, and restore her memory. I'll add it to my mission, and make it top priority!

Oro-- my list is getting really long... @.@

Gotta catch 'em all!

Captain's Log: 0702.21

I think I've finally found all of Mr. Isaac's paintings. Yatta! I got 'em all.

I found the mean-looking man yesterday. I don't think I should write his name. Sorry, dear readers! It wasn't easy, either. I had to go to a really skeevy bar. I thought I was going to get my heart cut out by a Klingon... and I don't think speaking Klingon will get you out of a fight in a bar like that, but I found out where he was. I got to see his painting, too. It was hard convincing him to help me. He had a gun! I was really scared. Even if you can stop bullets, Neo got shot once, too! He's not so mean, though. I told him the truth and he wants to help.

I found the artist, too. She is a very nice lady. She wants to help, too, and I think she is a hero, even if she doesn't have an ability. I don't wanna write too much about her, just in case. Ando doesn't have a power, and he's the bravest person I know. Now I've seen all thirteen paintings. I don't know what all of them mean, yet, but I think I can use them to figure out what my mission is. I just need to keep my eyes open!

I've done so much, but I still feel like I just finished level one. If the paintings are true, Sylar and Kensei are still alive...

I don't know what Kensei wants, but in the painting we're fighting. Are we going to be enemies again? I hope not...

I've got to stop Sylar.

I've got to protect Kellie from the Company, and everyone else that they want to hurt, too.

I've got to stop the tornado.

And what's with that biohazard chemical? I hope it's not the T-Virus. Zombies scare me...

So much to do! I don't know if I can... I don't even know where to begin. I'm just glad I'm not going it alone.

Operation: Snake Eater, Success!

Captain's Log: 0702.19

I got the paintings that Colossus Man took! It wasn't easy, though-- but, lucky me, I had help from a friend who has the same ability as me! We're just like Booster Gold and Blue Beetle. Well, except for the teleporting. And the costumes. And I don't have a flying beetle. Yet. I went back to Kirby Plaza and used my ability to get in. We got the paintings back. I had to fight Colossus Man, too. I thought I figured out a way to stop him, but he just got up and kept coming, even after I threw him out of a building! That guy is really scary... I hope he's not too upset. I don't wanna fight a T-1000.

But that's not all! I rescued a real damsel in distress while I was there. I ran into the guy they call "the Haitian", though. I wonder how they know he's a Haitian? I got past him, but just like a mid-boss, I bet he'll be back later on. I don't get that guy. In the dark future, he kills me... but I don't know if he's really that bad. What's he all about?

In the future, I'm a terrorist... because I do stuff like this. I wonder if this the start of that? I don't want the dark future to happen, but I wouldn't mind looking that cool.

Anyways. The girl. They had her handcuffed to a chair when I found her. I think she has an ability. Maybe she's a hero, too? Her name is Kellie, with an -ie for some reason. Kind of like how I'm Hiro, but with the kanji for Hiroshima, not the regular name. She doesn't want to talk about her past. It sounds really scary. I'm gonna try to cheer her up.

Oh! I was scared when I saw it, so I kind of put it in the back of my mind, but I remember -- the paintings!

I still haven't found the artist, Sydney Ransom, or the mean-looking man, but that's eight down, five to go.

There was one that I saw at Kirby Plaza... it was me! And Kensei... fighting. But we were dressed in modern clothes. Is Kensei still alive? Is he out there, somewhere? I guess if he survived the explosion, and his power makes him immortal... I didn't think it was possible, at first, but I think it makes sense. I feel like Crono. Even though I travel through time, Lavos is always waiting, because Lavos is immortal. I hope I can get the good ending.

I SAVED THE WORLD!!!

Captain's Log: 0702.16

I did it! I did it! I saved the world!

It looks like a hero's work is never finished, though. But that's okay! A true hero is always ready for his next challenge, especially when everyone is counting on him. First thing's first!

I am sorry for not posting for the last four months. My blog idled out in the meantime... that's too bad! I'll have to redo my old posts later on. I'll totally load my save game! But that's hardly anything. The reason why I've been away? I've been in the past! I've been in Japan in 1671 for the last four months! I even went on adventures with Takezo Kensei and fell in love with a beautiful princess. We were just like Kenshin and Sanosuke! I was Kenshin, because I'm shorter. I'm a much better swordsman! Father will be proud. I totally took two levels of Samurai!

Kensei wasn't the man I thought he was, but... in the end everything turned out okay. I will never forget what I learned, and I will never forget Yaeko. But I'm back now. I can't wait to tell Ando about everything that's happened!

But just like Spider-Man, fate always has something in store for you. I came back to the future for just a few minutes before a van hit the building I was in! And get this -- it was full of paintings by Mr. Isaac! And there were other heroes there, too! There was one guy who turned into metal, just like Colossus. Well, sort of. He looked more like the T-1000. We'll get back to him in a second. There was a teleporting guy, too. I wonder if he can time travel? After we saved all of the people in the coffee shop that got hit we got all of the paintings out.

But that Colossus guy? He is not a hero at all! He said he was going to take the paintings away to the "proper people". I don't know who he meant. Maybe he's talking about those weird Section 6 guys that I heard about? I'll have to find out.

Anyways, I am sorry to say I failed to get any of the paintings. A girl ran away with a bunch, I guess she was scared. A mean-looking man got away with another. And I am ashamed to say that I was beaten by the Colossus man! He's more like the Gray Gargoyle. He reminds me of the bad guy from the last season of Angel.

I shouldn't have been beaten. Next time, I'll do better! I promised myself I wouldn't get upset about my failure as long as there's a chance for me to set it right. Even Indy gets knocked out sometimes. It's like Thomas Wayne says: "Why do we fall? So we can pick ourselves up again." That's what I'm gonna do!

The man who teleports helped me get off the streets and I got to charge up my phone! I've been carrying it around through the past all this time. That's what I'm typing this on. I'm going to go back to Yamagato Industries and tell Ando and my father and Kimiko that I'm back. But there's no time for a hero to rest on his laurels!

I've got to find those paintings. Mr. Isaac died to save the world, and I'm going to make sure his legacy is used to keep it that way. First thing in the morning, I'm going to find the blonde woman and the mean-looking man, and then I'm going to get those paintings back from that metal guy.

For Charlie, Hiro

P.S. -- I had to leave the kensei sword in the past, but I think Ando should have it, in this time period! Just think of all the things it's done since I saw it in 1671. It's been all over the world! Stolen! By me, come to think of it. Weird. I wish there was a way that I could find out all the adventures it's been on...

P.P.S. -- I wonder what happened to Peter Petrelli and Flying Man. I saw on the news that the bomb went off above the city. I hope he's okay, wherever he is! Good luck, Peter Petrelli! Good luck, Flying Man!
