Class of Heroes AU: Zero to Hero
I present to you the latest in my series of songfics, it’s hero time for our boy, Kimules! Enjoy, and as always, credit to @imsparky2002 and @artzychic27! We find ourselves after Kim’s first major victory!
The crowd of students stood frozen in shock and horror at the massive pile of rocks that had just descended. The hydra had been defeated, that much was true, but at what cost? The teal eyes of the youngest daughter of the sea king filled to the brim with tears, unable to see the boy she had fallen so in love with. Was Kim actually….
Suddenly, the assembled crowd gasped in terror as a clawed hand that had escaped being buried beneath the landslide began to move! Had the horrendous monster somehow survived?!
But when the claws of the terrible creature were suddenly forced open…there stood the young demigod, his clothes ripped and sporting various scratches, but very much alive. The roaring of the crowd were somehow deafened by the relieved and joyous cheers of his friends and classmates! He donned his signature lopsided grin as they crowded around him.
“Dude, you did it!”, Nino cheered, clapping his classmate on the back!
“You won by a landslide!”, Simon joked, tussling Kim’s hair with a wide grin.
“That was amazing!”, Ondine cried, throwing her arms around his neck and kissing him as she rejoiced the fact that he was, overall, unharmed.
Blushing brightly, Kim looked around at the smiling faces of all his favorite people, and admitted…
“I guess…that was pretty heroic!”
Ladies, gentleman, and esteemed others…the Muses!
“From that day forward, our boy Kim could do no wrong.”, announces Clara, the leader of the five musical deities, gesturing grandly, “He was so hot, steam looked cool.”, she continues with a sly smile before hitting a rousing opening note, her chestnut-brown waves and flowing white chiton fluttering around her as she begins to twirl, her four companions beginning to move to the beat as well. Vivica, with her youthful side pony and energetic moves. Veronique, with her smart glasses and playful smile. Nadja, with her sharp pixie-cut and discerning eye. And finally, Jean-Pierre, with his smooth coiffe and welcoming grin. All dressed in the same graceful white as their leader.
Clara: Bless my soul! Kim was on a roll!
The five muses stood in a line performing flawlessly choreographed moves as a large discus to their left depicted the image of Kim racing to defeat yet another obstacle in his way.
Veronique: Taking the front page with every story that they roll!
The bespectacled muse twirled towards the front, dropping a stack of prints of Francois Prep’s school newspaper, The Daily Fae, the front page of every one depicting a color-blown image of Kim defeating some monster or thwarting some disaster.
Nadja: What a pro!
Jean-Pierre: Our Kim could stop a show!
The lone male muse pulled the screen downwards, showing Kim smiling as he signed autograph after autograph for an excited group of kids, each one wanting to be a hero just like him!
Vivica: Point him at a monster and you're talking SRO!
Keeping the beat with her hip, the youngest muse pointed off to a scene off to her right, a large, nasty-looking boar ready to charge right at our young hero!
Clara: He was a no one!
Nadja/Vivica: A zero, zero!
The ferocious creature gave a mighty roar as it prepared to charge the terrified crowd, but there was one person in the front who showed no fear, ready to meet the challenge.
Clara: Now he's a honcho!
Muses: He's a hero!
Pulling back the string of his bow, Kim remembered every pointer that Kagami had given him as he loosed the arrow towards his charging foe. It hit the boar straight in the forehead, the gargantuan monster falling, dead as a doorknob. Another win!
Veronique: Here was a kid with his act down pat!
With a high celebratory whinny from his loyal winged steed, Kim knocked foreheads with Xuppu in their signature move of celebration, before turning to meet the adoring crowd.
Nadja/Vivica: From zero to hero, in no time flat!
With a roar of fury and a flare of his flaming sideburns, Kim’s uncle, the lord of the Underworld, known rather quaintly as ‘Bob’, knocked various monstrous chess pieces off the board he used challenge his nephew. It seemed that nothing could even faze the brat!
Muses: Zero to hero!
Clara: Just like that! (snaps)
With a bright smile and a flick of her hips, Clara snaps her fingers, changing the scene to yet another crowd of fans, as the other muses pose around her.
Vivica: When he smiles, the girls go wild with oohs and aahs!
His status as a gold-star hero and his impressive physique had certainly earned Kim quite a few female admirers. He waved and gave a polite smile to the squealing girls as he made his way towards the one redhead who never left his mind. Giving her boyfriend a congratulatory kiss for his latest victory, the mermaid princess took his hand as they headed to the date they still had planned.
Veronique: Back home, they slapped that cute face on ev'ry plate and vase!
With a grin, Veronique gestures to an array of Grecian pottery, each one depicting a heroic deed by the young demigod, before she picks up one that depicts the hero with his trademark adorably lopsided grin. Nadja rolls her eyes at her companion’s pronunciation.
Nadja: I think you mean "vahse"!
With an irritated scowl, Veronique stuffs the urn over Nadja’s head, prompting Jean-Pierre to quickly step in and intro the next scene before a cat fight can break out!
Jean-Pierre: From appearance fees and royalties, our boy had cash to burn!
Lanh and Etienne, Kim’s adoptive fathers couldn’t have been prouder of their son if they tried!…And the massive, almost palatial countryside manor he had bought them with his new influx of funds certainly didn’t hurt!
Clara: Now the heroes’ golden standard, all you others, you just watch and learn!
The rest of the folks from Kim’s hometown were feeling mighty foolish as they watched the televised unveiling of the large bronze statue of the boy. If only they had been a bit more understanding…
Nadja/Veronique/Vivica: Say amen!
Jean-Pierre: There he goes again!
The muses all point to the scene at their left, with Kim sending a monstrous lion flying with a well-placed right hook followed by a roundhouse kick.
Veronique: Sweet and undefeated!
Nadja: And an awesome 10 for 10!
The muses stand in a line smiling brightly as each of them holds up a sign with a large, bold ‘X’. No one could kick monster ass like Kim!
Vivica: Folks line up, just to watch him flex!
In a crowded arena, an assembled array of students and fans laughed and cheered raucously as the demigod lifted Prince Adrien of Corona and Prince Nathaniel of Kurtz in one flexed arm, with inventor Max Kanté and former street rat Alix Kubdel in the other.
Veronique: And this perfect package packs a pair of pretty pecs!
Veronique pulls a new screen into view, showing a shelf of magazines, which featured Kim’s long awaited and coveted workout routine, quickly emptied within a minute. Most people may not be able to get up to his level, but they were sure willing to try!
Clara: Kimmy, he comes, he sees, he conquers!
Leaping onto Xuppu’s back, Kim made short work of an attacking flock of Stymphalian Birds, slicing their brass-like feathers apart before knocking them out of the sky, to the roaring cheers of the local populace.
Nadja: Honey, the crowds were going bonkers!
When the young demigod was being honored yet again for saving a town from a ferocious beastie, no one in the crowd was cheering louder or crazier than all his friends, standing front and center!
Veronique: He showed the moxie, heart, and spunk!
The scene changes to Corona’s first releasing of the lanterns since the prince’s joyous return! Unfortunately, a monstrous serpent, courtesy of the God of Death, had decided to crash the party, but with a quick grab to the neck and a good thrashing by Kim, it slunk back to the depths, whimpering all the way. (He didn’t kill it because it would have upset his girlfriend!)
Jean-Pierre: From zero to hero!
Vivica: A major hunk!
The youngest muse giggled as she held up a TeenZine that depicted an image of the hero flexing on the cover, which many young ladies had likely spent time squealing over.
Muses: Zero to hero!
Clara: And who'da thunk?
With a rousing blow of the trumpet, the muses engage in an energetic dance break, clapping their tambourines against their hands as they move in a lively jig.
Clara: Who put the glad in gladiator?
Choir: Kimules!
Every single one of Kim’s classmates in the heroism courses were no match for the demigod as he quickly trounced all of them in a matter of moments. (While praising them for a good effort! What can I say, he’s a nice guy!)
Veronique: Whose daring deeds are great theater?
Choir: Kimules!
Veronique moves her comedy mask away from her face as she shows the audience a stage where a play (written and produced by Jean, of course, a gift for Kim’s birthday) depicting the demigod’s greatest feats of heroism was being put on!
Vivica: Isn't he bold?!
Choir: No one braver!
Nadja: Is he sweet?
Choir: Our fav'rite flavor!
Kim shared a fist bump with Denise as they celebrated the official release of GameGod, their trademarked new energy drink, brewed with organic Olympus nectar and cherry XP points for an extra powerful boost!
Choir: Kimules, Kimules...
Choir: Bless my soul, Kim was on a roll!
Muses: Undefeated!
In the next scene, Kim was charged all at once by a Minotaur, a gryphon and a gorgon, but with three well-timed punches, the monsters landed in a crumpled heap on top of one another.
Choir: Riding high!
Clara: And the nicest guy!
The muses (and audience) cooed as Kim pulled a tree branch down, gently plucking the rattled kitten from the leaves and returning it to a very grateful little girl.
Muses: Not conceited!
The boy blushed modestly as a flurry of reporters asked questions and snapped pictures after his later act of bravery. He would probably never get used to all the positive attention.
Nadja: He was a nothin'!
Choir: A zero, zero!
Clara: Now he's a honcho!
Choir: He's our hero!
An erupting volcano was no big whoop as Kim plugged it up with a massive boulder, sparing the residents of the surrounding town months of repairs!
Veronique: He hits the heights at breakneck speed!
Backed by the cheers of his friends, Kim leaped onto Xuppu once more as he went to answer the latest distress call the school had received. A hero’s work is never done! (He totally wasn’t blushing from the ‘Good Luck’ peck on the cheek he’d received from Ondine, no sir!)
Jean-Pierre: From zero to hero!
Vivica: Our Kim is a hero!
Bob slammed his head down onto a table as he screamed in rage for the fifth time that day, his imp minions cowering in fear over in the corner.
Muses: Now he's a hero~…
Clara: Yes indeed!
With a wink to the audience, Clara closes out the song before an image of Kim striking his signature heroic pose overtakes the view.
And there it was my fine people! This one was a task to figure out but I’m proud of it! Coming up next, Adripunzel wants to know one thing: When will his life begin? Stay tuned!
