An apex predator snarled behind him as The high fang walked through a long, damp and dark corridor. His black lab coat was stained with crimson blood, yet he walked in complete silence. His back was as straight as a board and his face had a neutral expression which betrayed his temperament towards killing. A cold draught was blowing through the corridor and his coat was blowing behind him.
"So, Kaal. Why didn't you eat him? I thought you were hungry that's why you were so agitated, am I wrong?", he said as he looked at the dark shadow of the black tiger which was following him. Kaal growled at his question. "So what exactly did you mean?", he said. After a few seconds, The high fang's mouth took on a bemused smile. As, the corridor ended he clapped his hands twice and a cultist ran towards him in a black t-shirt and a crimson red dhoti which reached only to his knees.
Without even looking at the cultist who had come to his aid, the high fang kept on walking as he said-"Ready my vimaana"

Enzo and Seonghwah stood on the cliff where they had been sparring just seconds ago, looking at the fire that had broken out a few seconds ago without any apparent reason.
"We have to go and help! Get going Enzo!", Seonghwah said as he started to run towards the cave to wake the others up. Then suddenly, without explanation, Seonghwah fell forward on his face.
"Sorry bro! But you are too much of a rookie to be let into an operation like this.", Enzo said. But he winked at Seonghwah so clearly that it made Seonghwah realise that he wasn't not allowed to go; he just had to be undercover from the only superheroes on earth. No pressure. He watched as Enzo rushed in and then got up to wear his shoes and get going.

The blacksmith was sitting on a metal chair as she admired the carnage she had just caused to so many people, she was waiting for the little heroes to come and save these people and then fail to save themselves. The mere thought of it made her smile uncontrollably. It would be so satisfying to just tear those idealistic brutes to shreds and hearing their screams over the sound of her favourite hammer. After weeks of chasing, she was finally feeling some semblance of happiness as she thought how her master would reward her when he saw these "heroes" suffering on his command. He would just send her directly to the holy shrine. She was just so excited!

Xinyue woke up with a start as she heard Enzo's frantic calls to everyone in the house. He had always been quiet irritating but this night he was especially loud.
When she opened the door of her room she saw that everyone was awake and was rushing to the changing rooms, something big was happening. She also rushed to the rooms and she didn't notice that Seonghwah, the person whom she had so meticulously tracked down to Korea and convinced to come with her, was missing.

Seonghwah was rushing down mount Fujiyama, still thinking how the hero he had thought to be self obsessed and strict was so cool that he let him go to his first mission without any guidance, gadgets or suits. This might mean that he considered Seonghwah a true hero or a dispensable object. He kind of hoped it was the first option. As he reached the bottom of the mountain he started to think how he would reach the building on fire before it was too late, it was almost a three hour drive without obstacles and running there was impossible. But just then, a hand grabbed him by the scruff of his t shirt and pulled him into a human body. Someone was carrying him in piggyback!
"Dude, you are heavy!", he heard Enzo's voice.
"How are we travelling this fast?! We aren't even on a vehicle!"
"Well, look at my feet", said Enzo who was apparently pushing with his feet.
As Seonghwah looked down, he saw that Enzo was wearing a pair of really trendy sneakers that didn't really look like they could go so fast, but when Enzo pushed once more; Seonghwah saw that there were wheels under them. Enzo was wearing skates.
"So! Are you ready!", said Enzo "Nervous? Anxious? Need water?"
"Nah, I'll wing it. But, thanks for the lift man!"
