Scar pov:

The tension in the room was palpable as everyone prepared for the unknown arrival from space. The Heroes Association's anxiety was evident in the furrowed brows and tense shoulders of those present. The uncertainty of what was coming down from above added a layer of stress that hung heavy in the air.

Everyone who had a hero's outfit donned it, the distinctive attire providing both a sense of preparedness and a semblance of comfort amid the growing unease. The atmosphere was charged with a nervous energy, each person on high alert and ready for whatever might come through the door. Conversations were brief, focusing only on necessary preparations and strategies.

As everyone worked in tense silence, the quiet murmur of hushed discussions and the clinking of armor and equipment were the only sounds. Suddenly, a thunderous noise shattered the calm, breaking the sound barrier and causing panic to erupt. Everyone scrambled for cover, stumbling over one another in their rush to get outside.

Once they reached the roof, the scene was both awe-inspiring and alarming. Something was falling from the sky, descending with an almost unnatural grace. The object's approach was mesmerizing, its descent marked by a fiery streak that illuminated the darkening sky.

Amidst the chaos, Starvoid and Cute Guy took charge. Starvoid was intently examining the suit that had come from the hidden compartment, his focus unyielding as he adjusted and tinkered with it. CG, equally absorbed, was carefully inspecting the helmet, making adjustments and checking its systems with a practiced hand.

The urgency of the situation added weight to their task, but their expertise provided a glimmer of hope in the midst of the growing crisis. The team's preparations and swift actions would determine their readiness to face whatever awaited them as the object continued its dramatic descent from the heavens.

The object hurtling from the sky became clearer as it descended-what looked like a space vessel, but not one that matched any known designs. Its sleek, otherworldly form defied conventional expectations. As it approached, it suddenly decelerated, its speed reducing drastically in an impossibly short time, before it landed gently on the roof of the Heroes Association building.

A tense silence hung in the air. Weapons were drawn, the air thick with anticipation. Everyone stood ready, prepared for whatever might emerge from this mysterious craft. All except Starvoid and CG, who remained focused on the equipment in their hands, their calm demeanor contrasting sharply with the tension that gripped the rest of the team.

Eyes darted between the vessel and each other, the uncertainty palpable. The soft hum of the vessel's engines winding down was the only sound as they waited, every second stretching out as they braced for what-or who-might come out of that ship.

The atmosphere was electric with tension, every breath held as the space vessel descended from the sky. It wasn't just a normal descent; it was an impossible, gravity-defying slow fall, as if the ship was defying the very laws of physics. It landed with a soft thud on the roof of the Heroes Association, its sleek, alien design gleaming under the lights of the city.

Weapons were drawn, eyes narrowed in suspicion, and every hero was poised for action. The only exceptions were Starvoid and CG, who remained eerily calm, their focus entirely on the equipment in their hands-the brother's suit and the damaged helmet. Their lack of concern only added to the unease that gripped the rest of the group.

The vessel sat silently for a moment, the hum of its engines gradually fading. Then, a sharp hiss cut through the air, the sound of air seals releasing. The anticipation in the room was palpable, each second stretching like an eternity as the platform of the ship slowly began to lower.
