1 IN THE CITY THE MIGHTY CITY
Prophet:
Standing in this alley, in between the walls of these two buildings where salt farmers used to till and gather salt, in a city thirteen miles away from the capital, this is where I always begin my night.
You see, I never planned to serve the city this way, heck I never even planned to have these…abilities. But somehow destiny worked its magic and it brought me here.
My name is Lorenzo De Leon and this is my city.
Robber:
You give me your wallet and your bag you bitch!
Lady:
Please please have mercy on me, I have nothing left. This bag and what's in it is all that I have. I need to feed my family!
Robber:
You picked the wrong side of town to walk tonight. I need to make a living as well and you'll help me with that!
Prophet:
Hey, ass hole! Why not get a real job to let your sorry desperate ass eat with hard-earned money for once.
Robber:
Who the fuck are you? This is none of your business! So if you do not want me to beat you up in your fucking ninja turtle outfit, you'd leave now.
Lady:
Help, please!
Robber:
Shut up! Or else I'll slit your fucking throat.
Prophet:
Go ahead and try!
Robber:
You asked for it say goodbye to this damsel in distress you motherfucker.
Robber:
Ugh. W-who are you?
Prophet:
Let's just say what you're doing right now is done.
Lady:
Is he? Is he dead?
Prophet:
No, but he'll wake up with the most painful headache of his life.
Lady:
Thank you! Thank you so much! How do I repay you?
Prophet:
Just keep safe.
Lady:
Who are you?
Prophet:
I'm just here to make the city a little safer. I have to go.
Prophet:
You see, it's been almost 5 years since I started doing this, this vigilante shit.
At first, I thought, "am I up for this? Can I do this? Will I die?" So many questions popped up in my head.
But in the end, this is what I wanted to do ever since, not beat up low life criminals, but to help people who can't help themselves or who have no choice but to ask for it.
Kid:
Heeeeelp!
Kidnapper:
No more mommy or daddy who's gonna help you kid. You're with us now!
Prophet:
Don't you dare take that kid!
Kidnapper 1:
You will fucking pay. We-we'll come back for you.
Prophet:
Go home, kid.
Kid:
Thank you, Mr. Jackie Chan.
Prophet:
You see, cliche as it may sound, I've always had a passion for helping out people. That's why after finishing college, I chose a job that would benefit society and not just me.
I am this way because this is how I was raised.
Gracia De Leon:
Oh iho, you must know which is right and wrong. It's right that you stood up for your cousin against those bullies but it's wrong that you started that fight. Look at you now.
Prophet:
I'm sorry grandma, it won't happen again.
Prophet :
And right now, I'm in a position where I can make a big impact in this city, whether it's in the day or at night.
Alarm:
Riiiing Riiiing riiiing!
Prophet:
Oh shit my meeting!
Doroteo De Leon:
Lorenzo, stop rushing! Eat first. The maids have cooked a feast.
Gracia:
C'mon iho, you need to eat breakfast!
Prophet:
No can do lolo and lola, we have an important bidding at the city hall today and I have a meeting with the governor. I can't be late!
Prophet:
Dammit dammit dammit! Why is it traffic at this time? This is not Manila to be this traffic!

Shall we begin?
Prophet:
