"And now for our top story. After the downfall of the Watchers' control, it took several months, even up to a year, to fully rebuild trust within the Heroes Association. A new team was carefully selected, made up of individuals who had proven they weren’t tied to the Watchers' manipulation. These were people committed to genuinely helping others, not twisting situations for their own gain.

Interestingly, the infamous Poultry Man and Crimson, once known for causing chaos and destruction, also transitioned into something of an unconventional hero duo. Though initially seen as villains, they soon found their place as 'heroes for hire.' Whenever threats escalated beyond the control of the association, or when existing heroes were compromised, Poultry Man and Crimson would step in.

They became true heroes, not just figures of destruction. However, their methods were...unorthodox. Yes, they still leveled parts of the city, creating devastation that would leave onlookers questioning their intent. But it was all part of a calculated game—a way to maintain the illusion that heroes were still necessary, that chaos would never quite fade away

"Welcome back to tonight's special interview. As we dive deeper into the shifting dynamics between heroes and villains, the line between the two has never been more blurred. The destruction once used as a tool to break the mundane now begs the question: What comes next for those who thrived on chaos? How much longer can villains stay villains if they're willing to help the Heroes Association?

Joining us tonight to shed light on this complex relationship is Hot Guy, a key figure who’s worked closely with the once-feared Poultry Man and Crimson. Hot Guy, thank you for being with us."

Cut to Hot Guy, seated in the studio, looking composed but with a hint of tension.

Hot Guy: "Thanks for having me."

Anchor: "You've been part of some major turning points, particularly with the infamous Poultry Man and Crimson. Now, many saw them as villains—destroyers of cities—but they’ve recently been stepping up to help the Heroes Association. What's your take on that transformation?"

Hot Guy: pausing for a moment "It’s complicated. Poultry Man and Crimson... they never really fit into a single category, not as villains, not even as heroes. They enjoyed chaos, sure. But there was always this... deeper layer. What most people didn’t see was that they had a plan—every time they wrecked a city, it wasn’t mindless destruction. It was more about shaking up the status quo, keeping things interesting. And yeah, part of that was creating a world where heroes were still needed."

Anchor: "So, you're saying their actions were intentional, a way to maintain the balance between chaos and control?"

Hot Guy: "Exactly. But lately, that’s been wearing thin. The destruction doesn’t hold the same appeal for them anymore, and they’re starting to ask bigger questions about their role in all of this. That's why they’ve been more willing to work with the Heroes Association. If a situation spirals out of control or if the heroes are in danger, they step in. Not because they have to, but because they want to help—though they'd never admit it outright."

Anchor: "That’s a fascinating shift. Do you think there's a future where villains like Poultry Man and Crimson could permanently work alongside the Heroes Association?"

Hot Guy: leaning forward "Maybe. But they’ll never be 'heroes' in the traditional sense. They don’t follow the same rules, and honestly, I think that’s what makes them so effective. But as for the future... they’re restless. They can only keep up this balancing act for so long before they’ll want something different, something more."

Anchor: "And if that day comes—when chaos no longer drives them—what then?"

Hot Guy: smirking slightly "That's the big question, isn’t it? When you build your entire identity on breaking things, what do you become when there's nothing left to break? I don’t have the answer to that, but I can tell you this: whatever happens next, it’s going to be unpredictable."
