A tv show appears on screen, shown from a helicopter from high somewhere in the city, reviewing a car chase "This is Hero TV Breaking News! Masked thugs have hijacked an armored truck in West Silver,and are on the run with over three million Stern Dollars!"
"The cops are in hot pursuit. This is riveting action!" The back of the stolen truck opened and one of the crooks fired at them
"Dammit, hang on!!" The two cops in they're car lost control and crashed into a wall and lost POV from they're camera
"Unbelievable! They took out a police cruiser!" The announcer exclaimed
"It doesn't look like the authorities can stop these blood thirsty criminals!" The three's image appeared on screen from the shots they got

Sarah sat home after returning from a photo shoot, just then her call bracelet went off, and the channel on her tv changed to hero tv
"And here comes our first hero!" He called out a red car following not far behind them "it's the Bourgeois, Open-Flame Broil,Fire Emblem! Will he bring the heat for another arrest today?"
She sighs and begins getting ready
Elsewhere a woman was watching the camera's feed "A" Camera, push in close!" She ordered "I'm all over it." The guy says
The helicopter got close, zooming in on the hero in the front seat, he moved his car into different lanes, trying to get closer to the criminals vehicle "Fire Emblem is catching up to the suspects! Oooh! What phenomenal driving skill!"
Active suspension EX
"Got one on our tail." One of the criminals who was the driver, said to the guy in the passenger seat "Eat this!" The guy aimed his gun out the window, fire emblem turned to the left, however the other guy in the back had opened one of the doors and began shooting at him also, but the hero dodged them, spinning his car around, then straightening
On tv they're faces, in rectangles showing they're scared face, when they saw him using his fire power "He's gonna use his
Fireball attack!" The announcer yelled
Fire emblem made the ball big enough to fit in his hand, then shot it, hero tv showing it at different angles, it his the back of the truck, making it loose control
"What a merciless move!" The announcer cheered excited
"Can't you go any faster!?" One of the criminals exclaimed "Settle Down!" The driver growled
"The suspects are losing control of the vehicle!" The announcer says as fire emblems car tailed the truck
Just then something had stopped the truck dead in its tracks, making the fire emblem push on the breaks
"And another hero is on the scene! The Bull Tank of the West Coast, Rock Bison!"
Rock bison, second to arrive, +005pt
The bull hero lifts the truck up with his strength, the horns in his head had stabbed through the front "Rock Bison has been struggling in the rankings all season. It's good to see him back in the game!" The announcer commented as people in town watched the screen
"Ha-ha!" The hero cheered, however the criminals jumped out of the passenger seat "Wha... hey! Don't even think about it! Hold on... come here! Just... help..." he tried to stop them but with the weight of the truck and his horns being stuck it made things difficult
"It appears Rock Bison can't extract his horns!"
The criminals had stolen a taxis and thrown the driver out onto the Side of the driver way, then taking off "And now the villains have commandeered a taxi-cab!"
Fire emblem arrived on scene and witnessed the commotion "Oh no!" In his girly stance clenching his hands together
In the cab one of the criminals had taken his mask off, but just then the someone had jumped on the hood of the cab, causing it to stop, she jumping up as the announcer spoke "And who should drop in? The Lightning Bolt Kung Fu Master, Dragon Kid!" And activate Her electricity power midair "Hoah, look out! She's charging up her arms for her lightning attack!"
She land sand touches the cap, the camera picked up the sound of they're yelling from being shocked, then pulled their unconscious bodies out from the broken front window "A sizzling double arrest!"
Dragon kid
Criminal capture x2 +400pt
People in what looked like a bar were cheering on the hero's victory "Talk about a shocking victory!" In the background another ninja like hero can be seen
"As usual, the Hidden Hero, Origami Cyclone, can be seen in the background...."
Origami Cyclone
Late hero, hidden hero
No points
"And so, another crime prevented by..." however the announcer saw the back seat of the cab door open and the third guy running into The train station "wait, what's this? One of the robbers is still on the run!"
The man who was the conductor yelled in fright as the man aimed an gun at him, removing his mask "Get this train movin'!"
The monorail train be seen moving on tv "This is terrible! According to new information, the remaining suspect has taken control of the crowded monorail!"
People on said moving train were frightened "Oh no!"
In the rec room
"So, what now?" The guy recording the show with the cameras asked the woman
"We should probably pull out and not interfere.?" He stated
"And ruin my show?" The woman questioned glaring at him "The hell we will!"
"But there are innocent people involved now."
"Look! What's that!?" The other woman with glasses pointed to a figure on camera waiting for the monorail "Uh, great." The first woman groaned seeing who it was
"I don't believe my eyes,it's the Crusher for Justice, Wild Tiger!" The announcer exclaimed "I hope he's careful
this time."
"Cut to commercial!" The woman said and took the head piece of the mans ear to talk to tiger "Tiger? You reading me? We need you to hold fora 30-second commercial."
"You gotta be kidding me!" The hero exclaimed in disbelief as the monorail was getting closer "I am not waiting for ads
while people are in danger!" He says about to charge up
"Hey, listen to me! If you do it my way,
there'll be more suspense!" She stated
"Screw suspense." His eyes lit up, and his muscles grew bigger " A real Hero..." he railed off "only cares about one thing.And that's keeping the peace! Wild Roar!"
"Damn him. So stubborn."she grit her teeth , and handled the head piece to the man "Keep rolling!" She ordered
"Hold the phone! It appears Wild Tiger is activating his Hundred Power!
Which makes his physical abilities
a hundred times stronger!" He grabbed the metal which the train moved along below his feet
"Go faster!" The criminals ordered the driver
"I-I can't!!" The man cried, Tiger then tied the rail into a giant knot
"Incredible!" The announcer yelled
"Stop the train!!" The criminal howled
"I can't!" The driver cried again
The people inside holding onto the metal rods, stuck on the floor or protecting they're kids cried out terrified by the movement of the train, as soon as the monorail bumped into the blockade, tiger burst in through the window, the man on the ground shaking and crying "Give it up, scumbag!" Tiger noticed the open door
"Huh?"
"You fool!" The woman on the comms exclaimed "He's below you!" She informed
Tiger peaked outside to see a blimp had past by " Where'd that come from?!"
"The suspect has escaped
to a blimp!!"
Tiger was hanging into the edge trying to get back on the railing, and noticed someone in the sky flying after the blimp, and The announcer revealed the hero to the public "Blazing into the fight,
it's the Windmaster himself, Sky High!!" Who saluted to the audience through the feed
Sky high
King of hero's
"That's right, this season's leader
and reigning champ has come to save the day!" They all cheered in they're favourite hero
"What a jerk!" Tiger says as he ran after the blimp "Showing up after I've
done all the dirty work!" He leaped towards the blimp, barely managing to hold on, pulling this face out
Inside the two man held they're hands up as the man aimed his gun
"Don't try anything funny or else!" The man threatened them, just then Sky high appeared beyond the glass window "You don't try anything funny or else!" The hero pointed at him warningly, catching the man by surprise "Sky High?! You're
a dead man!" He aimed the rocket launder he had in his back and fired
Sky high dodged it and the rocket went upwards to where tiger was "Huh?" He noticed the rocket and panicked "Ah! Damn it!" He ran and punched the rocket making it spin out of control then explode
"Ah! The suspect's rocket has exploded!
Oh, the humanity!"
The two men scream as they fall out the broken window, but sky high controlled his wind to catch them
"Controlling the wind to save innocent lives! Just what we'd expect from Sky High! He truly is the King of Heroes!"
A family observed the scene from they're loving room cheering the hero for his save " amazing!" The blimp began its decent "Look out! The blimp is gonna crash into that building!"
It slid across the side, however debris started falling, however, before it could hit anyone who screamed waiting to be crushed, looked up to see plants shielding them
Then noticing the woman who had with the green suit with the vine around her arm
" Amazing rescue from the woman of the plant world, It's Lady vine!"
"Sky High! Please, save me!" The criminal who had shot the rocket called out, scared for his life, when tiger appeared latching onto the window "Don't worry! Wild Tiger at your..." but was cut off when he got hit in the face by an board that showed a mil ad for stern bild "....service!..." and was red in the face
"Yeah, think I'll wait for Sky High." The guy smiled nervously sweat dropping "Oh, is that right? You're gonna die
if you..." tiger says angry when the blimp changed course
"Dear me! The blimp's heading straight for that cruise ship!!" The announcer exclaimed in shock
The people onboard screamed and some of them ran to the otherside
"Seriously?!" Tiger exclaimed while carrying the criminal, looking around for a way to stop this, however before the bling hit the cruise ship, A female voice can be heard " Canyon smash!!!" And the water burst up, and the water that hit the blimp froze and looked like a hand grabbing hold of it
"You boys done foolin' around yet?" A female can be heard " yeah I mean seriously, was the amount of damage necessary?" Followed by another
"Huh?" Tiger followed the voices and saw the two
"Amazing joint attack! Every male fans knows the cold wind that just blew in. And the symbol of peace, Protecting the cruise ship with her Freezing Liquid Gun, and her mighty powerful punches it's the icy Superstar of the Hero world, Blue Rose! And the everyone's other female favourite, Astra" both back to back
"All right! Get me a closeup!" The woman watching the cameras ordered of the two females "My ice is a little cold, but your crime has been completely put on hold!" Blue rose posed as she gave her signature catchphrase
" Absolute perfection!"
Astra just sighs shaking her head amused Meanwhile tiger observed after getting out of the ice "All she cares about is racking up points." Tiger grumbled "I caught the suspect, doesn't that count for anything!?" He exclaimed frustrated before signing?
"Huh?" He says when a gunshot goes off,
"Huh?" Blue rose and Astra look back confussed
"Camera "C!" The woman in the Rev room ordered, the camera changed and showed tiger standing there with the criminal on the floor aiming the gun at tiger which he had already shot
The woman gasped in shock, as does the woman that saved the people from Debris in shock and worry
"You shot me?" Tiger questioned
"I told you to stay out of it, man!" The criminal exclaimed, the hero sighsoling or where the bullet was sticking out "What a day I'm having." He sighed
"Wild Tiger took a bullet to he chest, but he's all right!" The announcer stated as the hero took out the bullet, then turned when he heard yelling and saw the criminal heading for the girls "Ew, stop!" Blue rose yelped when the man shot, and slid down the side yelling "It's her patented Cutie Escape!"
Astra leaped away Hiding behind a pillar of ice "She's just running away!" Tiger exclaimed referring to blue rose, then ducked. His head when he was almost shot "Whoa!" Then jumps up into the air
"Wild Tiger leaps into action!" However his power ran out his power, and it deactivated mid air
"He ran out of time Remember, Wild Tiger's Hundred Power
only lasts five minutes!" While he looked worried "Oh boy...." then started yelling while falling out of the sky "Tiger has lost his superpowers! This could mean curtains for our hero!-no wait!" The announcer then saw Astra coming to his rescue " gotta!" But her power suddenly deactivated " oh crap...." Before falling she tossed tiger to the ledge " Astra!" He yelled
" oh no!" The announcer exclaimed " the symbol of peace used up her power, and is plummeting to the ground!"
' crap!' Astra panicked when she noticed the ice spikes getting closer and closer ' do something!think of something !...' All of a sudden from the darkness right before Astra hit the spikes, she was scooped up into someone's arms bridal style
the person landed and she got a better look at her after peaking through one eye " what the?..." then opening the other, A red rabbit design body armored man
"W-Who are you?" She asked
"The guy who just saved your life." The guy replied staring at her, the criminal screamed the gun shaking in his hand "Oh, yeah."he sets her down gently, He then goes after the criminal "Look! It's... um, who is that?" The announcer asked also unaware of this stranger
The stranger then kicked the ice the man stood on swiftly
"Huh?" Tiger stared in shock
The criminal yelled as he fell, but the stranger caught him and dropped him on the deck "Our Mystery Man has apprehended the crook!"
He then did something I don't think anyone was expecting, he opened his mask, and wow he was hot!
Even with the ice around her, Astra felt her face feeling warm
"Could this be the birth of a new superstar? The season ends with a surprise victory by a mysterious new hero!" Who have a finger salute to everyone
Tiger still looking at the strange hero confused
The woman in the rec room looked really mad "Cut to a commercial!" She ordered
Time skip
Blue Rose's concert was on, which the crowd was going wild for "♪ Freedom is here~ Come with me and you will see ♪
♪ My shiny days~ Come on ♪"
Elsewhere still on the ice, tiger stood with the stranger and Astra "Hey. So, who's your sponsor, anyway?" Tiger questioned
"Don't have one." The guy replied
"Wait..." tiger stared in disbelief "You're tellin' me you're a free agent? Why'd you stick your nose in this?" He asked
"Come on. Does it really matter?" The guy chuckle, which almost made Astra's knees buckle "I made the arrest." He starts walking away "And showing your face! Why would you take off your mask in public?" Tiger says standing in front of him "Are you crazy?"
"Huh?" The guy looked at him confused
"It's a basic rule." Tiger stated "A hero's secret identity has to remain a secret..." but was interrupted "Secret, huh?" The stranger muttered
"Uhh..."
Astra walked up and placed a hand on the mans shoulder " Let it go Wild Tiger" she says. "Times are changing, old man. You should get with it. Also listen to the beautiful girl" the guy says walking off.
" old man?"
'He.... Called me beautiful?...'she blush so furiously that it can't be hidden.
"Astra? Hello?" Tiger waved a hand in front of her face "Don't tell me your flustered by what he said!" Kotetsu exclaimed, She tried to contain herself, but gave up "Oh shush! Your one to talk!" Marching off for the event "What's that's supposed to mean?!"
" you and lady vine!" She yelled, Which made his eyes widened and turn flush "That's not true!" He denied "It's obvious Everyone knows! Even your kid!" She said the took off,
Later stands with the other hero's in stage as the event began
"This is it! The moment you've all been waiting for!" The announcer said as the crowd cheered wildly "We're about to reveal the winner of this season's HERO TV!"
Elsewhere kotetsu was being scolded by his boss ben Jackson for damages "What were you thinking, Kotetsu?" He questioned "I mean, bending that track? And did you have to smash the windows
in the train like that?"
"Well..."
"So much mayhem." The man shook his head "You realize how much that's gonna cost?"
"Hey, if I worried about all that stuff, I couldn't do my job!" Kotetsu
smiled awkwardly
"Well you better start worrying, or else you might find yourself out of a job." Ben warned being serious
"Listen, I'm sorry." Kotetsu apologised
"You do understand who made you
a hero... don't you, pal?" Ben reminded
"Hmm... my sponsor, sir!" Kotetsu replied standing straight "Good answer." Ben smiled "Now get to that awards
ceremony!" Ben Pat his back
"Thanks, Ben." Kotetsu waved and ran, however Ben looked like something was bothering him
"Fire Emblem!"
"Rock Bison!"
"Dragon Kid!"
"Origami Cyclone!"
"Lady vine!"
"Sky High!"
"Blue Rose!"
"Astra!"
"Wild Tiger!"The announcer listed all stern bilds Hero's "Which hero shined the brightest this season!?"
"Hey." Tiger greeted the two, Astra and rock bison
"You're late." Rock bison stated "So, when are they gonna announce the winner?" Tiger asked, ignoring the late remark "Right now." Astra says "All right." Tiger says less enthusiastic
"We know it's not gonna be you." Rock bison joked
"Shut up." Tiger playfully said " it's not you either" Astra smirked making him laugh " alright miss number 2"
The lights turned off "The points have been tallied, and it's time to crown a new champion! One of these fearless heroes is a heartbeat away from winningall the glory!"

Sky high says bing his catchphrase making the crowd roar with cheer "I could not have done this without everyone's help.Thanks, and thanks again!"
Tiger glared at his score
"And now, with an important message,
here is the CEO of Apollon Media as well as the president of the OBC! Give it up for Albert Maverick!" The announcer says as a man with white hair a bow tie and glasses walked up to the mic "I'd like to take a moment to introduce someone very special to our viewers. Come on up." They hero's looked and were surprised, Astra and tiger mainly to see the stranger who had saved her "This bright young man has just won the approval of the Justice Bureau. So, you'll all be seeing a lot more of him." The screen showed the stranger in his suit with his mask up "Please welcome the city of Stern Bild's newest hero, Barnaby Brooks Jr.!" Maverick introduced, Barnaby gave the crowd a fighter salute making, tiger mocked his movement "What a clown."
"Be nice" Rock bison scolded, Blue rose snickered as Astra who turned her head away smiled bashfully after the stranger saved her, her female friends and best friend love to tease her about her love life and now they have something to tease her about
"His super power may sound familiar
to some of you. When activated, this young man's physical strength is increased one hundred times." Tigers eyes widened in Surprise "But it only lasts him for five minutes. And yes, it's the exact same power as Wild Tiger. However, he also has the power of youth."
As soon as he said that Astra noticed it peeved off tiger had he was gritting his teeth looking away "Which is why I'm hopeful won't need to be rescued as often as someone else we know."
Blue rose looks over and held her snickers In, Astra noticed the guy looking over who most likely chuckled, he then looked eyes with her, smirked and sent a wink her way, making her turn red again and look forward
"As you know, individuals with super powers, known as NEXT began appearing 45 years ago due to some sort of mutation."
"Hey!" Rock bison says as tiger was leaving "I'm outta here." He waved
"We still don't know what triggered these rare abilities. However, we do know that
the NEXT have kept us safe. Battling chaos, crime and injustice. These brave fighters have earned our trust and become our heroes!"Maverick says as the platform rose and the crowds cheered after his speech
Elsewhere
Kotetsu walked down the street, then arrived to a stand where hero cards were being sold, blue rose and Astra along with sky high were already sold out, he picked up one of the cards of wild tiger which the owner noticed "Good evening." She greeted looking up from her newspaper
He turned the bard over and read it to himself "A veteran hero who made
his debut ten years ago. He may be past his prime, but he is... " he groaned and noticed none of his cards had been bought, but also noticed one card of lady vine left "Huh? Uh, gimme ten Wild Tigers! And the lady vine!"
"Whatever." She mumbled, Just then kotetdu received a phone call from Antonio, aka rock bison "Hey, what's up?"
"Are you seriously ditching the after party?" He questioned as everyone was dressed up for the party, the hero's still had they're identities hidden
"Ah, those things are too stuffy for me." Kotetsu replied
"There's tons of free food and all the suits are here." Bison said "Plus hana's still here and she's in a dress" he whispered as he looked at her from a distance talking to astra
"Say hi for me, will ya?" Tiger said immediately and hung up "Hello? Hello!?" Then yelped when he felt his behind touched and saw fire emblem behind him
"Hmm! Bison's got some junk in the trunk!" He coed still...you know..."Stop! Stop! Get offa me!" Bison yelled pushing at his face
"You got your screen-time out there as usual. Keep it up, it's great exposure." Origami's sponsor said
"I won't let the sponsors down, sir!" The hero replied opening his umbrella "I mean, I hope not..."
"You're not listening." Blue rose says clearly annoyed "My catchphrase is stupid, can't your company let me change it?" She pleaded
"That domineering attitude of yours
is why people love you. Why change what works?" Her boss stated while she groaned and went to talk with her friends lady vine and Astra
"It's all about the fans! Thanks, and thanks again!" Sky high says to fans as dragon kid was eating at the buffet with her sponsor
"Hello, Mr. Maverick!" The woman from the rec room greeted approaching "Ah! I knew promoting you to producer was the right choice for Hero TV." He smiled Turning to her "But I never expected you
to pull in these ratings." He admitted
"Well when it comes to creating a spectacle...I stop at nothing." She states
Kotetsu arrived to his apartment, as he entered the door, his house phone began ringing "Yeah, yeah, coming." He mumbled, unintentionally kicking a glass bottle, he picked up the phone "Yello?"
"Dad?" A young girls voice can be heard
"Honey! What's goin' on, Kaede?" He perked up, smiling a little nervously
"Tomorrow's my recital...You didn't forget, did you?" She asked
"Forget? I said I'd be there
and I will!" He said as she sat down, not seeing the cans "Ow!"
"You mean it?" She says happy "You're not gonna have to work like you usually do?!"
"No way." He says now sitting on the stairs since it was the only clean place "Tomorrow you are gonna be the
cutest little girl on stage and I'm gonna be the first in line to see you perform! I wouldn't miss it for the world!" He smiled
"You said that last time." An older sounding woman said, making him deadpan "Uh! You know, you should
say something when you take the phone, mom!" He scolded her
"I saw you on TV. Do you have to pay for all that?" She reminded him of the damage he did while in the background kaede is seen eating a pudding
"Real funny, mom." He laughed nervously
"All I'm saying is that you should
really try to be more careful, dear."
"Yeah, I know." He sighed "I mean it. If something horrible were to happen to you,
I'd have to tell little Kaede about your work as a superhero at your funeral. She'd be so heartbroken."
"You always worry too much." He stated
"Well can you blame me?" She replied "A man who's away from his family and faces criminals everyday just to make a living...
Of course, I worry!" She exclaimed
"Yeah, I know...." he murmured "Believe me. I know...."
"Huh!?" Kotetsu exclaimed as he stood out side his sponsors office which had a notification of closure of hero agency on the door, the company had been shut down
"I'm sorry, Kotetsu." Ben says appearing behind him making him turn to the man in surprise "Ben?"
And went somewhere else to talk about what was happening "A buyout?"
"It was the only option." Ben stated "Ad revenue kept falling and we were lucky to find a buyer willing to take on our debts.
Here." He handed him a card with the name Alexander Lloyd on it
"Huh? Who's this Lloyds guy?" Kotetsu asked
"Your new employer." Ben replied
"Huh?"
"And I would suggest you go and pay him a visit." Ben instructed "What?! Hang on a second, what the hell is goin' on?!" Kotetsu questioned still confused
"Starting this next season, only the seven biggest corporations are going to be sponsoring heroes." Ben explained "Hate to say it, but our company just dropped off the list."
"So, you're just gonna disappear, just like that?" Kotetsu asked in disbelief
"Hey, business is business." Ben says turning his back "Do all the other heroes
know about this?" Kotetsu asked, however Ben remained silent, not even looking him in the eye "I'm last to know..." the hero sighed
"Sorry old pal." Ben apologised
"What'll happen to you?" Kotetsu asked as they walked to the entrance "Oh, don't worry about me. I'm gonna relax, collect my unemployment and look for work in a few months."
"So, I'll be alone at this new place?" Kotetsu says "You'll be fine." Ben replied
"But Ben..." kotetsu began but Ben placed a hand on his shoulder "Times are changing. I'm really gonna miss being
in your corner and watching you fight." He smiled softly "Really.But no matter what happens, I'll always be Wild Tiger's biggest fan." He Pat his shoulder before walking away, kotetsu silently watching
Astra was on her way to her sponsor, mr Lloyd, not noticing the handsome blond behind her
As he was walking, he hadn't quite noticed her yet "Hmm?" However he did notice the kid holding his face, trying to get his ballon from the tree it was stuck in and chuckled a bit as he walked past to the building
"Ahhh!" The kid looked back at his balloon in the tree, tiger was also looking for the building until he finally came a upon it
"This is the place. Huh?" He noticed the ballon and the kid "Hmm..." he looked around and found a way to get to it, he ran to the light post, jumping against. "I got it!" And jumped to the ballon, catching then string and pulling it down with him and landing in his knees but dropping his cards
"Here ya go." He held it out to the boy
"Ah, thank you." He smiled then noticed the card on the ground, the wild tiger ones "Um, I think you dropped your cards."
"Ah!" He panicked "Oh, those are just..."
"It's okay, mister. I understand." The kid said, kotetsu chuckled sitting back "Darn, ya figured it out, huh kid?"
"You like Wild Tiger, 'cause he's old, like you!" The kid finished and tiger stop laughing
"Say what now?" His eyes widened at the response, the kid went into his cards and pulled out his wild tiger card "Here, you can have this one!"
"You should keep that, I'm sure it means a lot to you." Kotetsu said trying to making him keep it "Actually, I'm a Sky High fan,
so I don't need it. Take it!" The kid handed it to him "Uh, thanks." then took off, he sighs "That's how it is..."
He was then in mr Lloyds office who was looking over his files, he takes off his hat as the man looked at him "So, you're Wild Tiger. And I see your real name here,
but how do I pronounce it?" He asked
"It's Kotetsu. Kotetsu Kaburagi." The hero replied
"Hmmm...Right. You'll be briefed on your new suit in the Design Department." Lloyd says standing up
"Oh, I hadn't planned on starting today." Kotetsu stated
"Or you can just quit if you don't like it." Lloyd says making the man in front sweat drop "Today works...."
Just then the tv read emergency and started beeping, surprising kotetsu, a map then appeared showing the location of where the trouble was "The industrial district." Lloyd switched the tv to the news and saw a giant statue a live terrorising the bridge "The Steel Hammer Statue?" Kotetsu murmured
"Why is it moving?" Lloyd questioned
"I bet a NEXT is behind this." Kotetsu says
"All right, you'd better get going." Lloyd instructed "Huh? Oh, but I don't
have my suit with me." Kotetsu stated
"No need. I have your new one right here." Lloyd says
"Uhhh..." kotetsu looked an little skeptical
"This is a perfect chance to debut your new look." Lloyd says holding a remote
"I don't think I can do that... sir." Kotetsu said
"Really? And why is that?" Lloyd questioned
"It's just... I've worn the same suit my entire career." Kotetsu stated
"Don't be nervous" Lloyd chuckled "the tech on this suit is far better than that old one you're used to."
"Yeah, that's not the issue here." Kotetsu began explaining "That costume defines my life. It's everything I am as a hero.
A symbol of hope and justice!"
"Just wear the thing or you're fired." Lloyd says, wild tiger is seen driving on a motorbike with his name engraved on it
"Actually, this thing is really cool." He admitted checking it out, he then sees the statue close up against the bridge "There you are. Let's do this." Tiger was ready
Before
"There is one other thing...We've decided to partner you up with another hero." Lloyd stated
"Huh?"
"Apollon Media is going to sell it as the first-ever Superhero Duo to take the stage." He exclaimed to the man
"Nobody asked me about that." Kotetsu said
"That's because you don't have a say in the matter." Lloyd says
Back to the bridge, tiger ran in a bit closer "Where's my teammate, anyway?" He wondered "And who the hell are they giving me?"
He then hears yelling l and looked up to see someone falling towards him, he panicked and moved out of the way just in time, the person who fell turned out to be rock bison "Damn that hurt. Guess I can't take this guy alone." He grunted
"What? It's you?!" Tiger exclaimed
