The imposing Istana Negara, a potent emblem of political authority, bore witness to the tumultuous waves of public sentiment cascading outside its formidable walls. The fervent cries for legislation to rein in superhumans echoed through the atmosphere, creating a harmonious yet dissonant chorus of voices demanding accountability for those who strayed beyond the confines of conventional law.

Within the venerable halls of the Istana Negara, Prime Minister YAB Dato Seri Nizam Nordin grappled with the escalating crisis. Once Senator Nizam, he now bore the weight of steering the nation through an epoch marked by the sudden emergence of superhumans.

In the midst of addressing his cabinet and advisors, the looming specter of Captain Malaya's defiance cast an undeniable shadow. The Prime Minister recognized the imperative need for a prominent figure to champion the cause of superhuman registration—an individual whose presence would legitimize the government's stance. In a carefully calculated maneuver, Metal Man, flanked by the esteemed Mr. Fantastic and the formidable Black Widow (Lilik), emerged as the chosen figurehead.

Amidst the intense discussions within the hallowed halls of power, dialogues reverberated with urgency. The Prime Minister's voice resonated with authority as he addressed his inner circle, "We cannot afford to be passive in the face of this superhuman crisis. We need a solution that safeguards our nation's security while respecting the rights of these extraordinary individuals."

His advisors, a diverse array of experts in law, ethics, and metahuman studies, responded with a cacophony of opinions. Professor Rodriguez, the eminent legal scholar, chimed in, "Legal frameworks must be adapted to accommodate these superhuman abilities without infringing on personal liberties. It's a delicate balance we must strike."

Meanwhile, Colonel Aziz, a seasoned military strategist, offered a different perspective, "We should be prepared for the worst-case scenario. What if these superhumans turn against us? We need a comprehensive plan to neutralize any potential threats."

As the debate intensified, a familiar metallic voice cut through the tension. Metal Man, the government's chosen figurehead, spoke with unwavering determination, "I understand the concerns, but we can't let fear dictate our actions. Registration is a reasonable step towards accountability, and I am willing to lead by example."

The esteemed Mr. Fantastic, known for his scientific prowess, added his perspective, "We must approach this with a scientific mindset. Understanding their abilities can help us create policies that mitigate risks without stifling their contributions to society."

In the background, Black Widow (Lilik), an enigmatic presence, observed the discussions with a calculated silence. Her gaze spoke volumes, hinting at a complex interplay of allegiances and motivations.

Within the echoing chambers of power, the fate of a nation hung in the balance, as leaders grappled with the complexities of a world forever altered by the emergence of superhumans.

With technological prowess and influence, Metal Man conveyed a stern and unyielding message to the Prime Minister, his metallic visage casting an imposing aura in the dimly lit room. "The time for indecision is over," he declared with a resonant hum in his metallic voice, the weight of his words hanging heavily in the air. The Prime Minister, flanked by advisors and teetering on the edge of a political precipice, absorbed the gravity of Metal Man's ultimatum.

"I implore you," Metal Man continued, his tone cutting through the tension like a blade, "to push ahead with the planned registration. We will handle Captain Malaya and the rebellion personally. You have my assurance that order will be restored." The government officials exchanged uneasy glances, caught in the crossfire of conflicting interests, their decisions echoing in the cavernous chamber.
