[ 10:50 P.M. ]
" This is un-fuckin-leviable !!!!! " Derrick says as he heard the intel news about the Ikazuchi residence's destruction.
" You've gotta be kidding me right !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! " he screams in the HQ as he smashes the table making Andro uncomfortable as he uses his tablet beside him.
While Derrick grunts in rage, Andro and the other personals there can only exhale their breath as they knew that a long hour of work awaits.
" Why are you guys exhaling for? " Derrick asked.
" Get to work !!!!! " he orders them to investigate the Ikazuchi residence as they all do their work immediately.
(A few hours later ... )
[ Wednesday]
[ 00:20 A.M. ]
As the personnel does their thing, Andro who was near Derrick at the time tells him that there is no evidence found from his Probe-Droid's analysis which Derrick responded by slapping his face.
" Oh c'mon !!!!! " he says.
" Is there nothing left your Probe can loot there for evidence? " he asked while Andro contacts his Probe as the Probe found something in particular.
" There is ..... although ... " Andro says.
" Even though this attack was not created from a Superweapon or some sort my Probe scanned that this is the work of Tier V," he explains.
As he hears that, Derrick asks him if this Tier V damage could be traced and checked .. like if this Tier V Superpower damage belonged to those still loose Tier V Supervillains.
" No ... actually, based on my data no Tier V Supervillains that we archived had this kind of power damage yet ... " Andro stops.
" What is it? " Derrick asks him as Andro somehow gets another information from his Probe.
From the Probe, Andro gets a piece of information that there is something dangerous that can be traced from the power damage back in the Ikazuchi Residence scene as the Probe scanned it further while cross-checking it with the data they have.
After the Probe finished the scan, Andro then nods as he confirms the result.
" Derrick .... " he says slowly as he looks at the others.
" Guys !!!! " he shouts.
" We need to prepare the Heroes now !!! " he tells them as Derrick asks him what's going on as he replies.
" We've got a Tier V Malice Metahuman as our suspect !!!! " Andro says which shocked the entire room as they all looked at him while Derrick who saw him then can only exhale and says.
" Really? .... Wow ..... " he says in his displeasure as he slaps his face even more.
" In just one day ... one day !!!!! " he shouts.
" We lost another high-ranking Superhero ... !!!! "
" In... One ... Day !!!! " he shouts which makes the whole room go silent as they all looked at each other as they remember that the reason Derrick is so stressed is that after the Siege, only a few high-ranking and powerful heroes remain since most of them receive heavy damage that needs specialized treatment.
This led him to be more vigilant on the heroes' safety since, after the Siege, he smelled that something is happening under his nose undetected by the Protection of Nations, the Governments, and the Heroes.
"( Something is happening now obviously ... )" he says to himself.
"( I didn't know if this 'something' happens from the likes of those Metapunks, Villains, Hunters, and those other currently happening things but ... )"
"( This 'incident' .... somehow only happens around those Heroes that have family power like Energero ..)" Derrick thinks to himself as he orders the personnel to check and double-check and triple-check the Heroes whose family had the educational, financial, political, and social power in the society.
.....
As the personnel does what they ordered to, Andro then asks Derrick if he should call Undefeated, Demigod and Valkyrie.
" Don't !!!! " Derrick tells him as he explains that this time he must find a way to do things without Undefeated's help.
" Undefeated is not available right now .... " he says as he tells Andro that Undefeated is with the Kents right now as he wants to spend his time there.
" After all, ... after years of knowing him ... "
" I think it is time for him to at least find a family for now ... " Derrick says as he explains that for years Undefeated had been focused on his life and duty to protect humanity .. even if he was an outsider, an Alien who comes from Galaxy nearby.
" I see ... " Andro says as he then asks Derrick if he should call Demigod and Valkyrie which Derrick declines.
" Those two Diviners aren't any good either ... " he says.
" Don't forget that in the future, I am trying my best to let us .. the humans to finish the problems themselves," he says as he tells Andro about Demigod and Valkyrie as he deems the two Diviners Hero to be ... suspicious lately.
" I agree ...!! " Andro answers him.
" In these recent years, I also found Demigod and Valkyrie suspicious ... " he adds.
" Like they were secretly preparing something but for now ... "
" I still don't know what. " Andro says.
When he hears that, Derrick looked up in the skies as he sees the stars from the HQ's balcony while thinking to himself slowly as he sees the stars moving.
" Andro ... " Derrick says which Andro replies quickly.
" Do you think ... the Diviners up there are getting more sus too? " Derrick asks as he tells Andro his suspicions over the Diviners as he adds the things that were odd from their behavior lately.
" I think you're right ... " Andro agrees as he gives Derrick some things he recorded from every meeting he had with Demigod, Valkyrie, and the other Diviners as both of them try to analyze something since Derrick insistently believes that the Diviners has something to do with this on some point of view.
" Let's continue this conversation later Andro .. " Derrick says as he tells Andro that now they have to focus on doing their job to protect the Heroes before investigating their subjective suspicions.
.......
.......
( In a place, far far away ... )
" It seems you two haven't found the source of the disturbance. " says a being with a tall body as he talks to Demigod and Valkyrie.
As the two Diviners bow, they began to humble themselves as he tells the being who bathes in light that they were still in progress on searching the source of the disturbance.
" Rest assured elder ... " Demigod tells him.
" We will find what you seek !!!! " Valkyrie adds.
As the two answer the being, the being who bathes in light exhales as he tells them.
" I sense something ... a disturbance in the earth ... " he says.
" I yet to know what but it must have something to do with your friend Undefeated's precious boy," he tells them as he closes his eyes wondering.
" The Titan's former Vessel ... the former successor of the Ancient Being from the Void .. " he says to them as both Demigod and Valkyrie look at each other wondering what their 'elder' means.
" Leave ...!!! " he orders them as tells the two that the last thing he says is not important.
As the two leaves, the being who bathes in the light looks at them as he also looks at the earth from his Heavenly window.
" It seems that the ghosts of the past are now reaching us ... "
" Haunting our future by creating ... insignificant troubles ... "
