*Inside somewhere dark, the camera closes on a beautiful storybook. A stream of light cuts through the darkness illuminating a beautiful but worn book. The book opens revealing a picture of lovely princess running over a field with a fairy-tale castle in the background.*

Male Narrator: Once upon a time there was a lovely princess. [The next page reveals the princess in silhouette with a suggestion of some kind of magic force surrounding her.] But she had an enchantment upon her of a fearful sort which could only be broken love's first kiss. [The book turns the page to reveal a castle protected by a dragon.] She was locked away in a castle, guarded by a terrible, fire-breathing half human half dragon boy. [The next page shows knights being attacked by the dragon] Many brave knights have attempted to free her from the dreadful prison, but none prevailed. [The book turns the page to reveal the princess sleeping under a canopied bed in a chamber similar to Sleeping Beauty.] She waited in the half human half Dragon Boy's Keep, in the highest room of the tallest tower, for her true love and true love's first kiss--

*A large but tiny hand tears the page from the book and shuts the book*

Hiro: *Chuckles* Yeah -- Like that's ever gonna happen!

*Paper crumbling and a wiping noise are heard from outside of a outhouse*

Hiro: What a load of sh--

*Hiro flushes his toilet. Hiro comes out of the out-house. He picks his underwear from his butt and notices a page of the book stuck to his foot. He shakes it off. Looking up he admires his house.*

*Proud, happy and content. Hiro walks out of frame and shuts his outhouse.*

*A bucket goes into mud.*

HIRO HAMADA

*Hiro is having a mud shower.*

Hiro Hamada

*Hiro grabs a bug from his toiletry jar, squeezes it on to a bone and proceeds to clean his teeth. He checks his smile and the mirror cracks, making him even happier.*

Owen and Noah

*Hiro jumps into a mucky swamp pond, we see the water bubbling and a relieved look on Hiro's face. Dead fish float belly up, Hiro adds them to his shopping bag.*

Go Go Tomago

*Hiro leaves the pond, his legs are covered in leaches, he pulls one off and tastes it. Mud secretes out of a hollowed log floating inside the pond. Hiro pops out behind it and grabs his "Mud Squid" from the muddy pile.*

Obake

*Hiro is painting. Delicately creating what seems to be a beautiful vista. He takes the painting from the easel and hammers a stick to the back. As he walks off with it we see that it's a "Beware" sign. With Hiro's Face On It*

*Hiro enters his home.*

*Pub door with "Wanted Creatures Reward" sign bursts open and angry mob pours out. An hunter draws a plan of getting Hiro onto ground. Villagers reach for torches and pitchforks.*

*Hiro grabs spoon and begins to eat his dinner.*

*Silhouette of mob against the setting sky running into the forest.*

*Hiro strikes a match and starts fire in hearth with a burp.*

*The angry mob raise their torches and pitchforks.*

*Hiro lounging in front of fire. He pulls a fish from a sack at his side and bites off the head.*

*The angry mob treks through a forest. A villager steps on one of Hiro's 'Stay Out' signs.*

*Hiro hears a noise and peers out his window. He sees the angry mob coming through the swamp, lit in the morning darkness by burning torches. Hiro rolls his eyes.*

*The mob makes its way quietly through the bushes. Hiro follows closely behind.*

*The angry mob stops. Warily they part the bushes in front of them and we see that they are right outside of Hiro's house. One named Chris stepped forward determinedly.*

Unnamed Angry Mob: i think that he's in there.

Chris: All right. Let's get that non duman man!

*Another villager named James looks alarmed and reaches out, grabbing Chris and stopping him.*

James: Whoa! Hold on! Do you know what that kid with no duman powers could do to you?

*A third villager named Mike pipes in.*

Mike: Yeah. He'll grind your bones for his bread.

*the other villagers all stare at Mike bewildered. The villagers hear the new voice and spin around.*

Hiro: Yes, well actually that would be a giant.

*Hiro is standing nonchalantly behind the villagers, he advances on them as he speaks, getting more intense and terrifying as he does. They back away frightened.*

Hiro: Now non dumans... Oh, they're much worse. They'll make a suit from your freshly peeled skin. They'll shave your liver, squeeze the jelly from your eyes. Actually, it's quite good on toast.

*Villager James leaps forward bravely waving the torch in front of Hiro.*

James: Back! Back normal human! Back! I warn you.

*Hiro leans away, avoiding the torch and watching James with casual indifference. When James is done with waving, he holds the torch threateningly in front of him. Hiro moistens his thumb and forefinger and reaching forward, snuffs out the torch.*

*The villagers stand stunned for a moment.*

James: Right.

Hiro: *huge long roar*

*Simultaneously the villagers screw their eyes closed and scream for all they're worth.*

Angry Mobs: *huge long scream*

*Their scream outlasts Hito's roar and Hiro ponders them for a moment.*

Hiro: *Whispers* This is the part where you run away.

*The villagers all run as fast as they can. We cut in close on Hiro as he watches them go. He chuckles to himself.*

Hiro: And stay out!

*Hiro suddenly notices a small flyer that the villagers have left behind. He pick it up and reads it.*

Hiro: "Wanted; Non Dumans, Ponies, Magical Humans and Fairytale creatures."

*He tosses it into the ground and heads back into his house.*
