Spectacular World

A Day In Rose

Jagged glass rained down onto the city block. None of it ever got close to hitting anyone, though. A golden flash was all anyone saw, and then the next moment, all the glass was gone.

A loud creaking sound was the only warning as the building began to crack and break. Down on the street below, dozens of people looked up, but before any of them could even scream, the building vanished. It was in the air one moment, and then the next, it was placed gently on the ground away from everyone. It wasn't the only one, either. All the buildings that had collapsed had been instantly halted, the broken pieces scattered around.

A large earthquake had hit the city; it had simply come out of nowhere and had caused massive shards of glass to rain down, and the ground tore down several of the buildings. It would have been a grave incident. One that would have surely resulted in the death of a few hundred people at least. Or at least it would have. The world, however, had a savior. The world had a protector. Another flash of gold appeared, and anyone that had been in the collapsed buildings suddenly stood on the side of the road.

In less than a second, every person who had been in danger was suddenly saved. The ground finally stopped shaking, and when everything finally settled down, they saw her. The people all stared up at the air as the Victorian floated above the ground. She was high in the air and had stopped to look down at the city, staying long enough to make sure it was okay now that the natural disaster had come to an end.

"It's okay, everyone." The Victorian forced a smile onto her face as dozens of phones came out, and the people began to cheer. "I'll make sure the Cleanup Squad gets here and fixes up all these buildings! It'll all be paid for by the Hero Branch as well!" She gave a wave and flew up higher. "Till next time!" And with that, the number one hero took off, flying out of Lillian City. Once she was out of sight and flying faster than anyone else could keep up with, she allowed her smile to fade.

The world was in a dangerous place. All because of the many threats that existed.

Long ago, Earth was full of only humans. The humans had built grand cities and survived thousands of years on their own, creating vast weapons and even reaching out for the stars above. Then, the Four Lords arrived, and the world was forced to change. Earth no longer had to deal with just humans. Now, it has become a world full of Supers. One where, at any moment, a grand threat could appear and bring the entire world crashing down. Everyone knew it. Deep down, it was a fear that wouldn't fade. Someday, eventually, something like the Emperor would arrive.

Yet, people did not despair.

Supers had been around for over a thousand years now. Humanity had been brought to the brink of total destruction, so much so that the current world was vastly different from the old world, the one before Supers. The only reason the world had even been able to get back to such a whole state in the first place was due to the Supers that were able to rapidly build massive cities and help fix the destroyed land. Yet just as easily as the world could be fixed, so too could a Super bring it all crashing down.

Yet, people did not despair.

Humanity survived. Even with threats like the Emperor, or Lucifer, or the Beast. Even with vast wars that tore across the land. Even with the ever-growing population of villains. Humanity somehow survived in a world with massive monsters that could break free of the ground, or natural disasters, or deadly diseases. Humanity suffered, but it still clung.

Yet, people did not despair.

And why is that? Why did humanity cling to hope despite the bleak world they lived in? It was all thanks to their savior.

The Victorian zipped forward at high speeds. Already, her senses were going off, and she arrived just in time to see a massive winged beast attempting to attack a village. The monster was as big as a skyscraper, and lightning spilled off of it. The village below was some small little mountain village, the people of it all staring up at the monster in horror. The lightning never had time to rain down, though. In a flash, the Victorian created her golden longsword and did the impossible, slicing through every bolt of lightning. Her blade absorbed the energy, and then she rocketed up. The monster never even had time to process the fact that she was here. With a single swing, she brought her sword up and split the beast in half.
