Auditioning for: Zack Fair
Audition (450 word minimum):
A terrible roar. The sound of hundreds of people running, half of them screaming. And the struggle to break through waves of other people for your own safety. Wasn’t panic grand? It was a big one all right, mean looking and dog-ish. Like Cerberus, but without the extra heads and horns instead of ears. Piece of cake. And even better; Hercules was busy dealing with some goon at the Coliseum; this one was all his. The rasp of metal on leather subtly announced his presence, followed by a shout.
“Oh yeah! Zack Fair, on the job!” The voice shouted, the form a blur until it had landed and dashed past the monster, a quick sword strike accentuating his passing. Blazing green eyes whirled to meet the monster as it howled in pain, longsword catching the sun brilliantly, black hair unkempt and spiky as always. Zack Fair grinned, gripping his sword with both hands. “Hey, big guy! Pick on somebody your own size!” He called out, knowing the monster didn’t understand anyhow. Finally figuring out that his sword had been the one to wound it, the monster charged for Zack, but sharp claws met only with open air as the man leapt, straight up, coming down on the monster’s back sword-first. The beast howled as Zack jumped off, narrowly avoiding a swipe from a powerful, whip-like tail. This was too easy! And then the monster spewed a ball of fire, catching him off guard and bowling him over. Well… that was what he got for underestimating a vicious monster, right?
He rolled back to his feet… and was swordless. Oh, fun, NOW he loses his weapon. But Zack was unphased; his expression was somewhat comical as he dived out of the way of a charging monster and for his sword, but he had this under control. Totally, no way it was getting away from him. Well, the monster rammed its head into a building, but okay, they could fix that. Then the monster pulled back out of the building… and half of it fell over. Okay… that was worse. But he had his sword back now; no more collateral. Zack charged forward and, with a swift stab, sent his sword right into the monster’s head. Then it slumped over, finally out of business. Well, finally for the townspeople probably; he just got here.
“All right! I bet I’m definitely a hero now!” Zack said proudly, spinning his sword as he returned it to his back and crossing his arms. Wait a second… Everybody was gone now! No one even saw it! Well, except for that guy now kneeling among all the broken pottery of the building. “Aw, man! … well, I guess I’ll just have to do it better next time.”
“Hey! Where do you think you’re going?! You messed up my store!” The little man shouted, causing Zack to recoil in surprise. Huh, what?!
“Hey, I didn’t do it! It was that big monster! Don’t tell me you think I could do all that damage by myself!” He replied, holding up both his hands defensively. The man just glared. “I’m a hero! I stopped that thing before anybody got seriously hurt, didn’t I?”
“Oh yeah? And who do you think you are, Hercules?” The man snorted, grabbing one of Zack’s face-framing bangs and yanking him in the direction of the ruined store before thrusting a broom into his hands. “You either pay for it or you clean it up, ‘hero’!” The man mocked, walking away and looking annoyed. Zack slumped over a bit in exasperation. Darn it, I just can’t win can I? I’ll do it better next time, then I’ll show that guy I’m for real! Look out, Hercules; there’s a new hero in town and his name’s Zack Fair! Zack thought, before getting hit in the back with a rock.
“Ow! What was that for?!” Zack exclaimed, gesturing helplessly. The man sneered at him.
“Hurry up and get to work; that junk won’t clear itself!” What a day… Oh well, just another setback; he'd show everybody that he was just as much a hero as Hercules was one day, he just knew it! And such was his thoughts as he took the broom and started sweeping up debris. But... What kind of hero swept the floors?!
