Act One: The I-Island

The sun was setting over California, casting the city of Los Angeles in a golden hue as the streets buzzed with activity. Among the sea of people enjoying the evening, a tense situation was about to unfold. In the midst of this serenity, the largest casino in the area was suddenly rocked by chaos. Two villains, each exuding power and malice, stormed through the building, sending customers and staff alike running for their lives.

One of them was a beastly figure with blue skin, towering over everyone with bulging muscles and jagged claws. The other was clad in sleek red armor, his eyes glowing with an eerie intensity. Both were determined to leave the casino with more than just a large sum of money—they wanted to spread fear.

The villains ripped through the vault, sending metal shards flying and alarms blaring. Bags of cash and priceless chips were scooped into their arms as the casino staff helplessly watched. The blue villain sneered, his sharp teeth flashing in the dim light.

??: This was too easy, "he said while laughing".

As they made their escape, a chorus of screams echoed in the streets. Cars screeched to a halt as civilians scattered to avoid the two monstrous figures. The red villain, clearly enjoying the panic, fired off a barrage of missiles from his armored suit, creating explosions that rocked the block. Flames licked the sky, smoke billowed into the air, and the already busy streets of Los Angeles descended into absolute chaos.

Within moments, police sirens wailed, and a squad of American heroes arrived to contain the situation. Leading the charge was Elecplant, a hero who could manipulate and grow plants with electrical energy, and Cow Lady, a muscular woman with the strength of an ox and the ability to harden her body like steel. The two heroes wasted no time in engaging the villains, trying to stop the destruction before it got worse.

Elecplant: STOP RIGHT THERE! "He shouted, sending tendrils of electrified vines toward the villains".

Cow Lady transformed into her bull form and charged the blue villain, ready to land a powerful blow, but he sidestepped her with surprising agility. A cruel grin crossed his face as he swiped at her, his claws tearing through her reinforced skin, sending her skidding backward.

Elecplant's vines latched onto the red-armored villain, crackling with electricity. But before he could deliver a knockout shock, the villain unleashed another barrage of missiles, severing the vines and throwing Elecplant off balance. The heroes were clearly outmatched.

Just as things seemed to be at their worst, the blue villain picked up a nearby car. Inside the vehicle was a terrified family, including a little girl no older than six. Her tear-streaked face looked up at the towering figure with horror.

The villain let out a low growl, raising the car higher, ready to crush it like a toy. The crowd screamed, frozen in terror.

??: NO FEAR! "a voice boomed". WHY BECAUSE I AM HERE!

Before anyone could process what had happened, the blue villain was sent flying through the air, crashing into a nearby building with enough force to shatter windows. The crowd looked up, stunned by the sudden intervention. Standing in the middle of the street, fists clenched and eyes burning with resolve was a young man who no one recognized—a foreigner, by the look of him, tall, lean, and exuding a quiet confidence.

The red-armored villain, still processing what had just happened to his partner, turned toward the newcomer.

??: Who the hell are you?

The young man smiled, his hair slightly disheveled and his clothes burned in a few places from the explosions.

??: I'm just a hero... from Japan.
