There was a Hell Hole in New York City, that's what he told me before I destroyed him. A Hell Hole gave me my powers, brought the demons and brought him to Earth to harness its power. A Hell Hole opened by someone from Earth.
My name is Kaikane Hiro, my friends call me Kai. I lost my parents when I was ten years old in the first wave of demon attacks. I was pretty lost after that and it wasn't until I met Zuzanna in high school that I began to find myself. She was two years older than me and she helped me get past my loss and for that I am forever grateful.
It wasn't too long after falling for her that I manifested powers. I fought my first demon when he went after her but she didn't know it was me. The media and Zuzanna thought it was the Robed Crusader. I didn't want credit, all I wanted was her. I followed her wherever she went. When she campaigned against the President running for a third term I joined her, when she joined a law firm, I followed her and worked in IT; I even do yoga with her. But through all this I could never tell her how I felt.
I bumped into a woman on the street, I apologized and I tried explaining how I was lost in thought over Zuzanna. Her name is Carlona and she was nice enough about it. She listened a little and I was about to get her advice when a demon named Bomba attacked. Robed Crusader arrived but Bomba killed him with an explosive blast. I engaged the demon but somehow he resisted my ki blast. He blasted me naked and when he laughed I blasted him and destroyed his insides.
That's when I met the Champ. He needed a bodyguard so he could talk to girls without worry of getting into fights. It was perfect - he would teach me how to talk to Zuzanna and I would protect him. We became great friends and he even helped me throw Zuzanna a birthday bash at his luxury apartment giving me the perfect opportunity to talk to her but a demon attacked and I left. When I returned I found they were together. It was then I declared my love for her, it was then I let her go.
Carlona made me a suit from Bomba's skin and I was wearing it when I found the Hell Hole and was surprised to find the President there. It was then I learned the truth - it was he that opened the Hell Hole using it to gain power and sway the masses. I couldn't stop him, he was truly powerful and that's when I knew the truth: I was a hero made from love for this moment. I used my power to close the Hell Hole and he destroyed himself in trying to stop me.
