World of Paws: Balance of Heroes

First Words

Sherman: "Thank you! Thanks everybody!"
As the crowd sets him on the ground, his friends run out to celebrate him.
Zelene: "Sherman, you are incredible!"
Mallory: "Hooray!"
Jackson Junior: "I gotta admit, big bro. That was awesome times a million! How'd you do that? I wanna shoot energy out of my paws!"
Zaino: "Can I get powers too, Sherman?"
Aziza: "Does this mean you are gonna be like Daddy?"
Sherman: "Hehe, maybe I will Aziza. Maybe I will."
Aubrey: "Shermie!"
Sherman: "Relax, Aubs. I'm still here."
Aubrey: "I almost thought you were gone."
Aubrey hugs him tightly, as Sherman reciprocates.
Mr. Fickleburn: "Sherman Tontione! Front and center!"
Sherman: "Yes, sir?"
Mr. Fickleburn: "Congratulations! Your actions got two your own classmates injured!"
Sherman: "I'm sorry for what happened, but maybe I can heal them."
Mr. Fickleburn: "And heal them with what!? Your invisible supplies?"
Sherman looks at into the crowd, and sees his cousin Grace and Zaino's friend, Elsie with bullet wounds.
In Sherman's Mind: "What can I do to ease their pain? There has to be a way."
Vitaea Spirit One: "Sherman... like your father... you have the ability to heal others."
In Sherman's Mind: "How?"
Vitaea Spirit One: "I will show you. Place your paws on both Grace and Elsie's wounds."
In Sherman's Mind: "Okay, now what?"
Vitaea Spirit One: "Now... let the spiritual energy within you flow to them and all will be well."
In Sherman's Mind: "Okay, here goes nothing."
Sherman places his paws upon Grace's wounds first and does the same with Elsie's wounds.
Grace: "It's a miracle!"
Elsie: "Yeah! The pain is gone! Oh, thank you so much Sherman! You're the best!"
Sherman: "Oh um, no problem."
Grace and Elsie happily shake his paw.
Sherman: "Hehehe, you are okay now, right?"
Eve: "Are you kidding? You stopped bad furries with only a few blows! I only wish I could be as gifted as you."
Sherman: "Thanks, Eve. Well, it's been quite an eventful day."
.....Shortly afterwards....
Mr. Fickleburn calls the Coastal City Task Force for an assist. Suddenly, the museum's curator walks out of the building with an angry expression.
Museum Curator: "I leave for a few errands and I find several of my antique exhibits destroyed! What happened?"
Urvasi: "Sir, please calm down. We are still investigating and questioning witnesses of this unfortunate event."
Museum Curator: "Why don't you just lock up the freaking nut jobs who did it? I can see all of them on the ground right now!"
Commissioner Rebus Talvenger: "Sir, we will let you know when the museum is safe for re-entry. Until then, wait out here."
Mr. Fickleburn: "Come on kids! Time to get back to school.
All of the kids get back on the bus. Then as they return to Clearwater Elementary, the parents who chaperoned the trip, took their children home.
Sherman: "I really enjoyed this field trip. I learned a lot about the distant past and discovered my own spiritual powers. Can't wait to tell Dad about it!"
Jackson Junior: "You were like a wrecking machine out there, Sherman!"
Sherman: "Thanks, JJ."
Aubrey: "Shermie?"
Sherman: "Yeah?"
Aubrey: "Call me when you get back home, okay? Mmmwwah."
Sherman: "I'll let ya know, Aubs. See ya!"
Aubrey: "Bye Sherm-Sherm."
He waves goodbye as Aubrey's mother, Veronica, drives her home.
Zelene: "Sherman? We all want to thank you again for saving me and everyone else. You were great back there!"
Sherman: "You're welcome, Zelene."
Radinavia: "So cool!"
Zelene and Radinavia hug him in response.
.....Shortly after.....
Furry parents appear one by one for the carpool, while others, such as Sherman and his siblings, are returned via electric bus.
.....At the Tontione household.....
Taciana: "Okay, last pose."
Training Video Voice: "Ready for the final pose! There you go, hold that tree pose for at least five minutes."
Taciana: "Sure, easy peasy."
Five minutes and thirty seconds later, Taciana
releases her tree pose.
Taciana: "So freeing."
She hears the front doors open revealing Jackson carrying his briefcases.
Taciana: "Hey Jacky! You're home!"
Jackson: "It's been a long day, babe. The Tontione Solar Fusion Reactor is a remarkable success. Nappine informed me that the company's sales revenue has spiked seventy percent ever since, but one of my accountant's is behind on turning in his financial reports. I don't know if I should offer him additional training or just let him go. Gaah! You know forget it. I'm firing him."
Taciana: "Shh... honey no. Hey... hey... you are not like that. We talked about the need to be patient when dealing with new employees. And if I remember correctly, you thought you weren't going to get a job in the company for the COO role. Yet, you did. Look at you now, baby. You are the one in charge now. Be better than those who lead before you. Okay."
Jackson: "So what? I should give him a lighter punishment?"
Taciana: "I mean you need to more merciful and understanding of others. Not everyone is blessed enough to reach our status, okay."
Jackson: "Alright. Alright. I'll try it your way. But if they slip up it's on them."
Taciana: "Come here. Mmmwwah."
Jackson: "Mmmwwah."
Jackson then places his briefcases on the ground near the door.
Taciana: "I also... have good news!"
Jackson: "What up?"
Taciana: "Well earlier, I was teaching our babies some new vowels and guess what happened!"
Jackson: "Did they burp loudly and say let us sleep? Hehehe."
Taciana: "No, silly. They all said their first words today. Here, I will show you."
They head into the nursery and find their six infants partially asleep. Taciana picks up Zakari and places him on her lap.
Taciana: "Hey, my little baby. Shh..."
Zakari: (cooing)
Taciana: "Can you say, Momma?"
Zakari: "Aaaa...Momma...Maaa...."
Taciana: "You did it! There ya go, whittle one!"
Zakari: "Momma!"
Taciana: "eHehehe, you are so cute. Now say... Daddy. Say Daddy...Zakari."
Zakari: "Daaa..da..."
Taciana: "Aww...there's our baby boy! Who's our baby boy?"
Zakari: "Momma... Dada..."
Taciana then tickles the child. Jackson watches the smiles on his wife and his two-week old son.
Jackson: "Yeah, yes... that's my boy. Good job, Zakari."
Taciana: "Here... you hold him."
Zakari: "Dada." (giggles)
Jackson: "How ya doing, buddy?"
Zakari tries grabbing his father's nose, making the child clap excitedly.
Jackson: "Wha... Who are you laughing at? Who are laughing at?"
Jackson goofs around with his son, causing Zakari to coo and laugh at his father's antics.
Zakari: "Ooooogaaaooh!"
Jackson: "Yeah? I'll show who's funnier little Teater Tot."
Taciana: "Hehehe. Teater Tot?"
The front doors open. Sherman and his siblings walk through the mansion to greet their parents.
Taciana: "Hey! How was your field trip to the museum, today? Anything interesting happen?"
Zaino: "Hi Momma. Hi Daddy. Um... yes we did learn something interesting, today."
Jackson: "What's that, buddy?"
Zaino: "We saw a sword called a Chōcuto. It's like a samurai sword, only longer and cooler!"
Jackson: "That's sounds awesome buddy. Anything else want to share about today?"
Aziza: "Well Sherman, he...Hmm?"
Sherman covers her mouth quickly.
Sherman: "She was going to say how good I am at learning about the treasures of the far distant past. So... yes I did."
Aziza: "Mmm!"
Taciana: "Shermie, don't cover your little sister's mouth like that. Now what did want to tell us, Aziza?"
Aziza: "Sherman saved us from bad furries."
A look of curiosity befalls Jackson and Taciana.
Taciana: "What bad furries, sweetie?"
Aziza: "They were attacking everyone in the Villa and almost got us."
Jackson: "Did anyone call the Task Force for help?"
Aziza: "Mr. Fickleburn did, but they came after Sherman stopped the meanies."
Jackson: "Hmm? Sherman? Is this true?"
Sherman: "Yes, Dad. It's true. I found out I had new abilities."
Taciana: "Goodness gracious. You mean that you have powers?"
Sherman: "Yes. I'm sorry, Momma."
Taciana: "Don't be sorry, sweetie. You've been taught and blessed by the Vitaea. Haven't you?"
Sherman nods 'Yes.'
Taciana: "Well... as long as you use your powers safely then I'm okay with it. But don't go looking for trouble like your father once did."
Jackson: "Tacci, it was long time ago. Besides, I can teach him everything I know so he can defend himself against major threats."
Taciana ponders on it for several seconds and sighs in submission.
Taciana: "Okay, you can teach him."
Jackson: "Great, Mmmwwah. You are the best."
Taciana: "Just please... make sure our little Shermie doesn't get hurt during this training, okay."
Jackson: "It won't be a problem, Taciana. I swear that he'll be safe under my tutelage."
Taciana: "Okay, now come on, dinner is nearly ready."
The family have their dinner and go to sleep for the evening.
