The smell of burnt cigarettes filled the air of the dumpster ally, forgotten trash spewn about. One piece that stood out was a lone toy, color faded from years of love, it now sat alone, abandoned, those treasured memories long since past.

Something purple and sticky slithered up to it, drawn to those dreams, playing pretend castle with a happy child, those days were gone,

You would never get that again

Something angry settled in the toy as the slime overtook it. And as the being suddenly grew a hissing screech filled the air.

Make them pay!

[Into plays, two for one deal babyyyyy]

It was a quiet day at the mansion, not a usual occurrence nowadays, but there was a particular reason for it this time. The boys were on a field trip to another city, Dubwoofer city Neon beloved, and would be back late. Neon hummed to himself as he worked on a crossword puzzle, Marcie was tidying up the kitchen while Sven was in the other room organizing the movie cases. All in all it was shaping up to be a peaceful day, Neon himself would go and organize his workroom later that same day while he had the chance. Though In an environment like this, his mind couldn't help but wonder.

Somehow (unsurprisingly) his mind ended up wandering back to Subatomic Supernova, that space DJ. He seemed like he had powerful magic, could make a fine hero, yet seemed to have no interest.
At least he seems to care about the boys, Neon sighed. This seemed to get Marcie's attention who looked back and smiled.

"Thinking about something sir?" She asked, while continuing her work. Neon shrugged.

"Just thinking about that space not-hero"

"Of course you are sir" Marcie giggled which caused Neon to nearly crack his neck with the speed he looked over at her.

"Wh-what's that supposed to mean?" He sputtered, Marcie simply smiled.

"Oh nothing~" she giggled, though easily changed the topic. "He doesn't seem much older than you, I wonder why he never became an active hero in the past" Neon decided to keep any quippy remarks to himself as he leaned back in his chair.

"The hero's life isn't for everyone, I can't fault him for choosing to stay out of it...."

Neon trailed off, his mind wondering at the thought of old heroes.

He wondered how they were doing now... how long has it been? There was that old pair, his mind is blanking on the names but they had a time and nature theme, then there was that jazzy hero, Neon wanted to say his title was something with Mystery in it but he can't seem to recall.

But of course there's the biggest hero he can't forget, Kul Fyra. A fire magic hero, he worked with her a few times, she was always a blast.
Until one day she just disappeared from the hero scene...
At the time it wasn't too surprising, a few others had started to retire after the monster attacks became less and less common.

Though the radio silence from her was concerning... especially after those rumors started circulating...

But his thoughts were suddenly cut off as his radar loudly pinged. Neon nearly fell out of his seat before he jumped up and looked around.

After a moment's pause, he realized where the radar ping had come from. And after a check of his internal systems it was confirmed.

An item class monster had appeared.

And 1010 were out of town.

Marcie and Sven had entered the room, they all had discussed what to do had this exact scenario happened.
