The battle with the observant robots was over, but with a cost such as Chemistra was lied down unconsciousness after she suffered the loss of her hand that sluggishly reattached back by the strings. While Lena and Kenshijo's lifespan flew away freely with the fatal punching hole on their chest being pierced.
Zero mechanically hurled around his metal hand and Sparror who finished regenerating his missing arm gazed down at the corpse of the robot in sorrow. Hence, The Silver Man noticed the concerned gaze on The Flaming Hero before patted him on the shoulder for providing relaxation.
"Sorry, I am just not used to seeing a Superhero kill people," Sparror murmured in a little terrified tone.
"My bad actually." Zero apologized before a deep tone of explanation appeared, "But, it's the effective way for our common enemy didn't get full data from us."
"Besides, I already killed a person too, so there was a high chance that regret would not disturb me much," Zero added in a chilling voice.
Sparror nodded and closed his eyes, washing away the horror and terrifying reality that he saw from the corpse. Afterward, a sigh of relief took by The Flaming Hero and opened his eyes widely that he centered towards Zero.
"Zero, will you stay in Neo Tokyo city without going back to Americanary?" Sparror asked in a concerned tone.
"100% sure." Zero replied in a deep serious tone.
Sparror was deeply surprised as his body froze, but a gladful yellow eye appeared within to make him more comfortable handling this quite horrific reality. Zero tremblingly clenched his fist even in boiling anger even though his expression was blank as a person that unfazed without anything.
"Our enemy now is the Distrunian, a powerful alien race that exists only to destroy the world. Zero explained in a chilling voice, "One of them is enough to pulverize planets and this one is even worst. He tried to study us with an observant robot, so he could have a more efficient method of destroying the planet.
The word Distrunian widened his eyes as a memory around 5 years ago returned to haunt him again, he and Zero were staring at the screen that showed a picture of a half-naked bull head man in the middle of a sea of corpses and ruined city. The same sharp horror expression on Hatoshi was revived again in the present day as.
"I heard that you encountered that Distrunian, right?" Zero added by a question.
"Yeah and I don't think I can handle him." Sparror replied in a pessimistic tone before he continued with an explanation in a little spark of confidence, "This is why I need a temporary Superhero team to face this guy. I really hope that you will join too."
Zero glanced towards The Flaming Hero with a widened eyes of acceptance before he nodded in gratefulness. Sparro looked down on the injured Chemistra that was slowly being healed by the steel wires with an unrelenting worriedness influenched through his sight
"Three of us will not be enough since Chemistra will have a higher chance of losing against Distrunian." Zero spoke in a deep voice.
"I know and I have another candidate which is the mysterious Ice Warrior." Sparror replied
Mistress Foreseen and Blue Winter who remained unseen were indeed shocked with Sparror indirectly mentioning him. Moreover, The Female Shaolin locked at her Shaolin friend and relieful smile appeared on her.
"Zero, I know he may be like an Anti Hero, but he probably has the same goal as us, He is very strong from the news that I heard, especially when he froze South China." Sparror stated his point in a pleading tone,
"I also have the same idea too." Zero agreed with Sparror that made his yellow eyes widened in surprise, "The chance of riskiness obviously appeared, but I agreed that we needed a powerhouse and so far there was no alternative candidate for now."
Blue Winter's gratefulness and eagerness enlightened through his expression as a clenching fist that shakenly moved. The longer he heard the conversation, the more excitement heated up inside his head as his head imagined a chance of fighting strong enemies either alone or alongside them.
"Blue Winter, how about I send you there?" Mistress Foreseen shared her idea in enthusiasm, "They need you to fight this Distruni threat and it potentially can bring your old self back again."
"Apology, Mistress Foreseen." Blue Winter mumbled in a nervous tone, "I will rather choose tomorrow."
Mistress Foreseen nodded as she comfortably smiled as the right opportunity fell down onto her hand before she locked her eyes towards The Flaming Hero who was still engaged in a conversation with Zero. Furthermore, she sighed in gladness, and Blue Winter respectfully smirked towards his fellow Shaolin efforts.
"Zero, if you can find The Ice Warrior location, will you let me meet and ask him for help alone?" Sparror politely asked.
"Sure" Zero replied and he began to see a glimpse of his best friend, Hitoshi beside him before returning to Sparror in his eyes before he happily bittered. "It's fine."
Sparror bowed in a thankful demeanor and Zero smirked in gladness. Afterward, The Silver Man carried Chemistra unconscious body that had the metal strings almost reattached back the decapitated arms with both of his metal arms.
"Anyway, was there any other topic to be discussed? Because I am going to leave right now, sorry." Sparror asked in pity
"So far, no" Zero said in a calm tone before he thanked The Flaming Hero in a force cheerful voice, "Thank you for your help today and for tomorrow, I will start finding the exact coordinate of The Ice Warrior, so you can negotiate with him."
"Thank you so much, Zero."
"You're welcome."
The Flaming twister emerged beneath Sparror before it swallowed half of his armory body when he nodded towards his metal friend. Moreover, The Flaming Hero waved in farewell as the twister dissolved alongside him and left Zero in an optimistic smile.
Hence, Zero closed his eyes as he entered into a memory where he saw Hatoshi's split in half, inside the cylinder tank that lightened a blue light. It occurred after the schoolboy saved a kid from the drunk driver. The Silver Man shook his head in guiltiness after he heard a monotone female robotic voice repetitively said, "Warning, Patient 001: Hatoshi is dead."
"The healing machine can only heal your injury, but it's almost impossible to save your life due to it's already been 5 minutes from the receiving time." Zero murmured, "I apologize in advance for not saving you back then."
The Silver Man shed holographic red tears from his blank expression as rubbed his wandering chin. Furthermore, he took a glance at Hatoshi half body was set up by the green liquid force with ease, but sign of breathing couldn't been found.
All of the sudden, Zero's heard a noisy emergency bell throughout the room and he was stunned in confusion when Hatoshi's dead body suddenly burned away, transformed Sparror without his red cape, slept inside the tank. "Patient 001 Hatoshi is alive, patient 001: Hatoshi is alive '' a voice from the tank repeatedly announced.
Eventually, the Sparror armor dissolved by the flaming twister, and Hatoshi was brought back again in reality with his whole body was patched up. Zero zoomed his sniper-like eyes as he caught a single sign of breathing from his best friend.
"This is what humans call a miracle." Zero uttered in shock, "Maybe after I gave him to his parents, I would probably study this cosmic being."
Blue Winter and Mistress Foreseen time on the battlefield was reached the end when blinding white light beamed their very eyes. They went back to the mediation room with the terracotta statue awaiting their return in inner peace.
"When I read his mind, he seemingly has compassion other than mighty power" She commented within her mind in enthusiasm, "Which hopefully he can help Southern Shield maintain his ego and Blue Winter to regain his old self."
She took a glance towards Blue Winter and began to meditate again with his closing eyes. Pettiness outshined her enlightened white eyes before dimmed into the normal, ocean blue human eyes.
Her mind entered a heartwarming past when she kneeled down in loss, Moreover, Blue Winter offered a helping hand with fiery enthusiasm smirked after her miraculous defeat in the past.
"It's a good fight and I am looking for a rematch with you." Blue Winter spoke in heated excitement.
The same alleyway that had four-color paintings that said "Hero lives on" became a spawning spot for the flaming twister once again. The twister left in a dissolving way and Hatoshi was brought back to reality, still safely maintained his high school uniform, pants, the blue blazer, and his red backpack after
"Today was quite amazing because I received my first win against Supervillain," Hatoshi exclaimed in gladness. "But, there is still a much stronger foe that I must face together with my temporary Superhero team.
"Anyway, I really hope tomorrow I can meet with The mysterious ice warrior and hopefully he will accept my offer." Hatoshi added, half nervous.
"Indeed, you will meet him." An echoing female voice called out Hatoshi.
Hatoshi raised his awareness and cautious eyebrows. His sight turned right and glared on the triangular white portal that opened up a chance for Mistress Foreseen to enter the alleyway. The beautiful long white hair and her fresh, thin body of The Female Shaolin attracted The School Boy with his eyes went up in slightly lustful demeanor
"Even though she might be an enemy, I can say she is quite hot...and pretty," Hatoshi commented within his mind.
"No need to be worried, I am Mistress Foreseen and I am not here to be your enemy ." Mistress Foreseen telepathically spoke as the triangular white portal left the scene by shrunk down till the physical presence went out of normal sight.
The Female Shaolin bowed in front of the Hatoshi as he widened his eyebrows with confusion and panicked before he declared a bow too towards this stranger. Afterward, Mistress Foreseen finished her bow and sheepishly chuckled towards Hatoshi who was blushed in red.
"Besides, I see that you had affection for me." She telepathically teased the school boy, "Even though you already have one."
"I guess so and I am now aware that you are a telepath." Hatoshi replied in a little bit of disbelief, "So, let's just get to the point why did you approach me, rather than talking about my affection with you."
Mistress Foreseen gave a small laugh and Hatoshi's cautiousness changed into an odd expression as all his thoughts became an open book for her telepathy. Moreover, The Female Shaolin sighed in warming gladness when she continued to stare at the schoolboy.
"I heard that you wanted to recruit The Ice Warrior, right?" Mistress Foreseen guessed.
"Yes, because I heard that he was pretty strong and I hoped it would be enough to defeat the current enemy that is very powerful compare to me." Hatoshi explained.
"Well, you already had the right person to find it."
Hatoshi's eyes widened in surprise and excitement at the same time as his opportunity for finding The Ice Warrior lay down on this mysterious strange. Moreover, he gave a smirk of gratitude towards her as he was about to accept this opportunity.
"Wow, I'm glad to hear that, but is there any deal for recruiting him?" Hatoshi asked in a worried tone.
"You always seek the reason first, rather than guessing my relation with The Ice Warrior." Mistress Foreseen exclaimed, "Which is impressive."
Hatosi rubbed his head in shame and he could feel calmness and relieves from this mysterious stranger that seemingly spread a nice and comforting atmosphere to him. Mistress Foreseen sighed in relief and closed her eyes momentarily.
"Yes, there is a deal, but it depends on you." Mistress Foreseen said in a little bit of sorrow, "Would you help me regain The Ice Warrior into his old self and my other Shaolin friend that fell into unhealthy obsession try to be the best?"
"Sure." Hatoshi confidently said and smirked onto Mistress Foreseen that gave a shining hope through her sight, "I am always eager to try helping people in a psychological way too."
"I am glad to hear that."
Mistress Foreseen let out an open hand of settling a deal and Hatoshi was at first fell into nervousness. But, a smile of confidence closed the nervousness away from him as he folded her deal hand, seeing an opportunity of regaining allies would happen.
The deal was settled when they shook hands with each other and a future alliance for the heroes finally arrived.
