Nuwa's Champion

Lost Hero

Exactly 6 hours had passed since MK disappeared.

After the corruption wore off, the team was very confused. When Sandy told them more or less about their behavior towards MK, the team was both in disbelief and felt regretful.

They went to his room to apologize, but he wasn't there. Then, first at Flower Fruit Mountain and then at other places, they realized that the hero had disappeared.

He wasn't anywhere, it was doubtful he was even in the city.

But they didn't give up.

They searched until 3 in the morning to find him, but it was in vain.

The second hero of the city was nowhere to be seen.

The gang had gathered on the rooftop at Pigsy's Noodle Shop.

Mei was still trying to find places where her best friend might be on her phone.

Tang and Sandy were trying to comfort their pig friends. But they were just as stressedas him.

Mei: "What if he's at the Anti-Gravity music place we went to? Or the arcade? Or maybe he's somewhere we haven't seen in Flower Fruit Mountain! Or-"

The pig silenced the girl with his sudden shout.

Pigsy: "NO MEI, NO! WE LOOKED THERE! MY SON IS NOWHERE!"

Pigsy was breathing heavily with anger and sadness. Tang and Sandy were humming as they patted their friend's shoulders for comfort.

Tang: "Calm down, Pigsy..."

Sandy: "We'll find him... I'm sure he needs some alone time. I'm sure he's safe."

Sandy was trying to lighten the mood, but like everyone else, he didn't believe what he said as much as they did.

While everyone was experiencing this stress, Mei suddenly saw a spider stealing the shop's sign.

Mei: "Hey! Come here now!"

But the spider had already left with the sign and headed to the sewer area. Mei jumped in and followed him.

Mei: "I won't let you leave with that sign!"

The trio just watched in surprise as Mei jumped into the sewer.

==============

When Mei realized she had arrived at the Spider Queen's lair, she grumbled a little and caught up with the sign.

However, when the Spider Queen appeared, he stopped, remaining silent and secretly listening to them.

Mei: "Spider Queen?"

Spider Queen was yelling at her minions with concern and anger.

This seemed strange to Mei.

Spider Queen: "What do you mean there's not enough material yet?"

Syntax was as nervous as his queen as he looked at the list in his hand.

Syntax: "It's just... Without the venom there's no way we'll be able to build as quickly as the last time."

Mei didn't understand why they were collecting materials for the machine, but then bad thoughts came to her mind.

Mei: "Spider Queen is rebuilding her machine! No no no! This is bad. This is very bad. Okay Mei. You won't let her take over the city again. You know very well what you have to do. Using all my skills and training, I will sneak in there undetected and finish off that disastrous weapon right there. And I'll take the Pigsy's Noodle Shop sign back from her, and then I'll go on to find my best friend.”
