Across the world—
The Hero Alliance moved.
Missiles filled the skies.
Nuclear warheads—
Falling like meteors of extinction.
But—
So were the heroes.

Standing on the ground—
A nearly naked, muscular man looked up.
Billy Herrington
His muscles tightened.
BOOM—!
He leapt—
Thousands of meters into the sky.
Grabbed a nuclear missile—
And hurled it into space.
Then fell back down—
Like a meteor.
Crater.
Shockwave.
Again.
And again.
Dozens of nukes—
Thrown away—
With pure physical strength.
Nearby—
A man in a striped suit yawned.

"Scary~ scary~"
He said lazily.
But didn't move.
"Please don't slack off."
Behind him—
A man in a cap.
King
Watching.
Supervising.
"…You're S-Class."
"Why not act?"
"My job is to make sure you don't slack."
"…How cruel."
Lucian sighed.
Then—
His body dissolved into light.
"Speed… is power."
"Have you ever been kicked at light speed?"
Golden light—
Flashed across the sky.
Everywhere it passed—
Nukes were redirected.
Into space.
Within moments—
North America—
Cleared.
South America — Chaos Control
At the branch base—
A white-haired girl grinned wildly.
Accelerator
"…Heh."
Plasma gathered—
Exploded upward.
BOOM BOOM BOOM—!
Nukes detonated mid-air.
She didn't care about fallout.
She cared about—
fun.
Passing by—
Icarus
Casually fired precision shots—
Destroying the rest.

Every incoming missile.

To the sky.
And acted.

Together—
They intercepted the falling nukes.
At the center—
A figure stepped forward.
The Pharoah
Card raised.
"Lend me your power… partner."
"Descend—"
Slifer the Sky Dragon!
Thunder roared.
Clouds collapsed.
A crimson dragon—
Spanning kilometers—
Appeared.

Returned.
People knelt.
Faith surged.

Standing firm—
Jeanne d'Arc
Drawing power—
From the people.
She planted her flag.
"O Lord, be with us!"
A continent-wide barrier—
Unfolded.
Missiles struck.
Again.
And again.
Cracks—
Formed.
"…I'm reaching my limit…"
Then—
Another stepped forward.

Sacred lance—
Raised.
"Anchor of the storm—"
"Pierce the heavens!"
"Rhongomyniad!"
A pillar of light—
Shot into the sky.
Annihilating—
All remaining nukes.

A voice echoed—
"Need help?"
Tornado of Terror hovered nearby.
"…No."
Leon Hart stepped forward.
"This land—"
"I will protect it."
The earth trembled.

History—
Thousands of years—
Flowed into him.
"Flame of China—ignite!"
"Dragon soul—merge with me!"
Power—
Exploded.
"Noble Phantasm—"

His body transformed.
A divine dragon—
Elegant.
Majestic.
A symbol of protection.
Power surged—
Beyond A-Class—
Reaching Vice-Chairman level.
Even gods—
Could be slain.
But—
Not for long.
Enough.
More than enough.
"ROOOOOOAR—!!!"
The dragon soared.
Faster than light—
Across the sky.
Every nuclear missile—
Reduced—
To dust.
To ash.
To nothing.
The Result
Across the world—
Explosions faded.
The sky—
Cleared.
Humanity—
Survived.
Because—
When destruction fell—
Heroes rose.
