Each star in the sky is a little baby.
They each choose their own mama and papa.
They come from the sky to be by their parents' side.
What about me?
Was I a star in the sky too?
Of course.
You chose Papa and Mama,
and that's how we became a family.
So Mama is very grateful to you.
Grateful to me? Why?
For coming into this world and becoming my child.
Huh? I still don't really get it...
All right, let your mom rest for a bit.
Go play on your own.
Come play with me, Papa!
I want to play with the boomerang!
All right, all right.
Little Johnny, don't bother Papa when he's on the phone.
Let Mama tell you another story.
Okay.
Yes, Mr. Shand. I understand.
Yes. I will investigate.
Hurry, we must perform CPR!
Yes!
Little Johnny, how is Mama?
Is she all right?
Mr. Shand has already sent for the best medical team. They're on their way.
But her condition is deteriorating way faster than we'd anticipated.
Allow me.
Don't worry. I'm here.
Sheng... Is everything going smoothly?
Yes. Smoothly.
Then... stop looking so distraught...
You two have to be happy...
It's all three of us.
I won't let you go.
I don't want to let go, either...
But you should take Little Johnny and leave this place.
Dad, you're still up?
You little beast!
Where are you running?!
Eat this boomerang!
Stop it, Little Johnny! He's a baby I brought back from a mission!
What?! You have another baby from somewhere else?!
No! He doesn't even look the part!
Then where did he come from?
I don't know, either.
But I'm certain that he's not a creature from our planet.
Did he fall from the sky?
I guess you could say that.
An alien spaceship landed in a remote area a few days ago.
I found him while investigating.
Just him?
He's the only one I found.
I was afraid he'd be studied or even hurt if he was discovered by others,
so I brought him home.
I know who he is and where he's from!
Huh?
He's my son!
Huh?
That's what Mama told me!
Little babies come from the sky to be by their parents' side.
So that must be it!
If you look closely, we do resemble each other!
My name is Little Johnny.
Let's give you a name... Big Johnny!
Son, let me show you around your new home!
Son, your grandma told me that drinking milk helps you grow.
Here! Drink this whole thing!
You're gonna hide in the backpack and stay quiet.
Papi and Grandpa are taking you to our new home.
The elevator's here. Come.
Coming, coming!
I didn't think you'd actually leave.
Yup. I've made my decision.
You won't reconsider?
This is your son?
It's our first time meeting.
You must have so many things to worry about, now that you're X
You're giving up on your hard-earned identity as a hero.
Isn't that a shame?
What good is being a hero?
In the end, I wasn't able to save her.
After Downfall, people will never again be granted powers that surpass the gods.
Don't tell me you're worried about me.
Rest assured. I value this hard-earned retirement.
Arriving at Hero Tower, bottom floor.
Let's go.
Dad, where are we going?
Someplace where no one knows us.
Hey! Stop that! Don't give me a face-washing!
This is our new home.
Eh?
Don't just stare. Come on, give me a hand.
Okay.
Son, watch closely!
First, you get the water, then, you do this...
Make sure you clean each plank of the flooring!
Got it? Here, you try!
You dummy! That water's for cleaning, not for drinking!
You... naughty little thing!
Where do you think you're going?!
How's goes the mopp—
Evil begone, evil begone!
He's not your grandpa anymore. He's a cursed mop demon!
Evil begone! Evil begone!
You naughty boy! Where are you going?! Get over here!
Evil begone! Evil begone!
Since when was this house occupied?
My word! It's haunted!
Such filth! How could anyone release that into the water?
Such indecency!
Evil is about! Let us hurry home!
My underwear! Stop!
Mama, Big Johnny is too naughty.
I wasn't like that when I was younger.
I didn't make you unhappy.
You were much more destructive than Big Johnny.
You made Mom angry quite often.
Huh? Really?
But Mama always had a smile on her face.
Yes. That's just how your mom was.
She deceived us all with a smile.
Even me.
Your mom used to say that sorrow can't heal wounds,
nor miraculously bring back the dead.
But it allowed us to remember what our hearts truly valued, truly needed.
So when it's time to cry, we must cry loudly.
But after crying, we mustn't forget that what makes hope go on is the power of a smile.
Uagh!
You naughty boy!
Spit that out right now!
That was for your grandma!
Watch this!
Invincible wheel of flame!
Go again!
We've caught it, we've caught it!
This must be the evil thing the adults mentioned!
What is this thing?
What are you guys doing?!
A white cat?
Careful!
That's my son! Don't you touch him!
Huh? What's he talking about?
He said that's his son.
What, is he crazy?
Don't talk to him. I heard they're from the city.
The adults all said that city people have problems. They're sick in the head.
You're the ones who are sick.
Big Johnny is my son! Don't come near us!
I think you've been possessed by this evil being.
Don't come near us! Get lost!
Now!
Hey! You bunch of scaredy-cats!
Isn't this just a regular little...
little... animal...?
Wait for me!
Son! You're amazing!
I'm going to nurture and train you!
You're going to become a big hero, just like your grandpa!
How old are you?
You're not being a good role model as a father.
Big Johnny's bad habit of inhaling his food must've come from you.
That's because your cooking is just too good, Dad.
Right, son?
Huh? Who's there?
I'll get it.
Little Johnny, you and Big Johnny clear the table and do the dishes.
Okay.
Coming. Who is it?
It's been a while.
Now, what brought you here?
It's been three years.
How's life in the mountains?
Great. So great that I've already forgotten all about the past.
You're being too sensitive.
I'm not here to test you. Relax.
But knowing you, you wouldn't visit for no reason.
Let's not beat around the bush.
You know me well, Sheng.
I need you.
I'm hoping you will come back as a hero.
First, you already beat him in the last tournament.
That means you've already discovered a way to defeat him.
Second, I've been gone for so long.
I no longer have the power that I used to have. I can't help you.
I know her death affected you greatly,
but as long as there is someone who remembers who you are,
then you can still heal anything and everything.
Impossible.
You know this.
If someone doesn't believe in themselves,
no matter how many followers they have, it's just a useless pile of numbers.
I've always disliked that complacent attitude of yours.
You have such good qualities, and you're choosing to bury your talents!
Are you concerned about me, or are you concerned about yourself?
Even if you aren't thinking of yourself, you should still think of your child.
You don't need to threaten me.
On the contrary, I am your biggest threat.
How about it?
Do you need me to heal your wound?
No need.
Thank you for the tea.
Goodbye.
What do you think Grandpa's relationship is with that person?
And who is that person?
Hey! So your dad used to be a big hero in the city. Sheng!
You're finally here!
Quick, show me the thing!
I had to shamelessly throw tantrums at my parents to follow them
to the city and bring this back!
Look! This comic book tells the story of your dad! So cool!
Turns out your dad has the power to heal everything!
So how come he didn't heal your mom?
Hey, hey, hey, watch it! Don't talk about that!
So that's him!
Hey, show us, too! Who are you talking about?
The one who came to our house today.
That's him!
Whoa! He's the current rank 1 hero!
Really? Show me!
He really is! He's the current X!
X was at your house this afternoon! That's shocking!
But why do my parents always say that
you city heroes are evil beings that bring bad luck?
Let's go, Big Johnny.
Huh? Why are you leaving so suddenly?
Huh?
These are... traces left from a battle!
Dad!
Dad... Dad!
Dad!
Is it him?
Did that person do this?!
I'm going to find out the truth!
I'm going to avenge you!
Big Johnny?
Big Johnny! Stop!
Is that...
Big Johnny?!
It was that family from the city that brought the monster here!
It's... It's X!
It's Hero Vortex!
Everything's fine. I am here.
It's him! It's him!
Ungrateful little thing.
Once I subdue you, I'll take you to the Commission for research.
Another evil thing has come!
Evil begone! Evil begone!
That's the hero's power!
He can pull anything into a vortex!
