Ultra City—a sprawling metropolis of towering glass skyscrapers, neon-lit streets, and sky rails zooming overhead. It was the pinnacle of modern civilization, where advanced technology met everyday life. But even in a city like this, crime still festered in the shadows.
Scene One: A Lone Hero
On the corner of 5th and Lexington, chaos rang out as masked bandits burst from the Grand Ultra Bank. But before they could flee far, a figure landed in front of them.
A young man with sleek black hair tied back in a short knot, wearing a dark, reinforced suit with glowing violet lines tracing his shoulders and down to his gloved hands, drew a high-tech bow from his back.
Timothy Slinger, codename Vilex.
Age: 21. A skilled tactician and the de facto leader of the soon-to-be Hero Squad. His sharp eyes and commanding presence made it hard not to take him seriously.
With quick, precise shots, he immobilized the robbers using stun arrows, pinning them against the walls. As the sirens neared, Timothy tapped his earpiece and spoke.
"Police en route. You guys aren't even worth the Hero Association's attention," he muttered, walking away without fanfare.

Scene Two: A New Arrival
At the Ultra City Hero Association branch—a monumental skyscraper reaching 80 stories—Raymond Miller, codename Frost, stepped out of a hover-car.
He was 20, tall and lean, with silvery-blue eyes and snowy white hair that gave away his ice-based abilities. Wearing a sleek navy-blue suit with white frost patterns running down the sleeves, he looked every bit the elite hero he was known to be.
"Welcome to Ultra City," greeted Layla Bremm, the HQ coordinator, and Johnathan Flicker, a seasoned strategist.
"This city hasn't had any major villain threats in recent years," Layla said, her tone professional. "You'll be working with one of our finest—Timothy Slinger."
Raymond gave a confident smirk. "Who knows? Maybe something big is about to happen."
Moments later, Timothy entered the briefing room. The two heroes met with a firm handshake.
"So you're the top graduate," Timothy said, raising an eyebrow.
"Yeah," Raymond replied. "It was all sweat and sacrifice."
Timothy chuckled. "I dropped out years ago. Guess we'll see if academy gold matches real-world grit."

Scene Three: The Mystic's Vision
Far away, in a candlelit sanctuary, Sage Micah, known simply as Sage, awoke from a trance. His dark robes shimmered faintly with arcane energy, and his violet eyes were calm, yet distant.
"I must go to Ultra City," he whispered to the young woman beside him. "Fate is calling."
He opened a golden portal with his staff and stepped through.

Scene Four: From Beyond the Stars
Out in space, aboard a royal vessel, Rudy Atracius, codename Dark Flame, stood before a shimmering observation deck. His suit was alien and majestic—an armor laced with gold trims and a flowing cape, his braided hair resting on his shoulders.
"My king," a voice said. "Let us descend with you."
Rudy shook his head. "No. This is my decision alone. Return to orbit."
He stepped into a pod and descended toward Earth.
Elsewhere, a flaming streak crashed into the woods. Jakson Alexandar, codename Blaze, crawled from the crater.
"That didn't hurt the way I thought it would," he muttered, brushing dust from his long, textured black hair. His red-trimmed armor glinted in the sun, the flames beneath his skin faintly flickering.

Scene Five: Alarms and New Faces
Back at Hero HQ, alarms blared.
"Two extraterrestrial readings just landed near Ultra City," Layla reported.
She turned to Vilex and Frost. "Looks like you two are getting your first mission early."

Scene Six: The Genius and the Racer
Inside a lab, Maximus Alle—codename Superbolt—zipped around mixing chemicals with superspeed. His white lab coat fluttered behind him.
"You've been at this for two days!" a colleague yelled.
"I'm almost done," Maximus replied, adding one last chemical before vanishing to avoid another scolding.
Elsewhere, Larry Stones, Hi-Tech, stood before his father, who handed him a sleek, transforming nanotech battle suit.
"You built most of it, son. No one knows it better."
Waiting outside was Ivy Madsen.
"Your dad finally gave it to you?" she asked.
Larry sighed. "Yeah. Let's just go."

Scene Seven: The Laid-back Thunderstorm
Inside a midnight blue motorhome, Tyler Smith, Thunderstorm, lounged lazily.
"Tyler, fix the toilet!" Bethany said.
"I will... just not now."
Tomika burst in. "Fix it now, I need to use it!"
"Why not fix it yourself? You broke it."
"You're the man here!"
Bethany intervened gently. "He'll do it, Tomika."
Later, Tyler said, "I'll take you to work."

Scene Eight: Panther at the Zoo
Derick Andrew, Mega Panther, was at the Ultra Zoo.
"Kids, stay back. The snakes bite," he warned playfully.
He later went to visit a baby panther cub.
"Hey there, little guy. Just came to say hi."

Scene Nine: Tensions Rise
In a deserted park, Rudy and Jakson stood face to face.
"What the hell are you doing here?" Rudy asked.
Jakson smirked. "What about you?"
Their tension hinted at a past encounter. Suddenly, Vilex and Frost arrived.
"Step away or die," Timothy said.
Jakson replied coolly, "That's how you welcome visitors?"
Rudy added, "Yeah, death threats? Classy."
"You're threats, and you deserve death threats," Raymond snapped.
Layla's voice rang over the comms:
"Take them out."
Johnathan interjected, "Wait, we don't know why they're here. We can't just attack."
Layla shot back, "Why not? They invaded!"
Rudy raised an eyebrow. "Invaded? I'm a king, not a terrorist."
Timothy lowered his bow. "Then come with us. Prove it."
Jakson nodded. "Fine by me."
Suddenly—a huge boom shook the sky.
Raymond looked around. "What the hell is happening today?"
