Vern Zuyev and his men have attacked the superhuman organization in New York, which is the largest one in the world. Lightning Blitz and his team failed to bring Zuyev down. That left them with an orbital strike coming from space, which they have to stop...

POV to Ray (Above Earth's atmosphere)
Ray: I wonder if the people in that ship see that I'm out here.

Right after Ray says that, one of the ship's doors open. The door is about the size of a garage door, while the whole ship is like a city in the sky.

Zuyev: Yes! Ray! We know you're there! You will be the first to suffer and die from this strike!

They are both superhumans who have been developing their powers for a long time. Therefore, they have the ability to breathe and talk in the vacuum of space.

Ray: *angrily triggered*
Zuyev: On my mark! 5 seconds to firing!

Ray starts to think on how to stop the blast, especially now that Zuyev is keeping an eye on him. He knows that Zuyev is more worn out than he is, due to the fact that he just came back from fighting Blitz and Spike. But if he fights Zuyev, then there will be no one to suppress the orbital strike.

Zuyev: 5! 4!

In the world of pro saviors, reinforcements are essential. No matter how tough the situation, someone should always be there to help. That's the whole point why they're called saviors and/or heroes. They are here to save and protect each and every one of us.

Suddenly, Ray senses two coming his way. He believes it to be backup, so he starts to make his move. He slowly charges up his power to contest the power of the orbital strike.

Zuyev: 3! 2! 1! Fir- *gets grabbed*
Zuyev: Hey!
Backup has arrived.
Radical Glare: We came here to clean up your mess.
Zuyev: It had to be you who came here! Fire!
Ray: GLEAMING BEAM!!! (100%)

Radical Glare is a squad leader like Lightning Blitz, he and his squad came as reinforcements. The squad of Blitz is specialized in hunting and capturing. While the squad of Glare is specialized in infiltrating and protecting (entourage). So, they might have also come to infiltrate the ship of Zuyev.

The orbital strike and Ray's Gleaming Beam contest each other. Ray's Gleaming Beam is one of his special moves, the specific power used is light power. It can blind targets if he wanted it to and it shoots really accurately. And now, he is aiming it directly at the orbital strike.

Radical Glare: We have you now Zuyev. Don't try and escape this time.
Zuyev: Did you forget that I can do this... BLUR VANIS-

Zuyev attempts his second confident escape from the heroes. He uses one of his tricks which makes him disappear with almost no trace. It's his move called the "Blur Vanish," like it says in the name, he disappears without any noticeable traces. The squad of Blitz may have let him get away, however, the squad of Glare is different from them. Out of nowhere, another member of the Glare squad arrives. His hero name is, Penumbra Collider.

Penumbra Collider punches right through Zuyev's chest, making him have a big hole in his chest.
Zuyev: *In shock*
Zuyev: *Intimidated* *regenerates wound* Атака! (Attack!)

Zuyev's done it... he just ordered all his men to attack. Now, loads of Russian superhumans start coming out of the ship. This may be to take down the heroes or to let Zuyev escape. The heroes know that he has a chance here, so they are not letting their eyes off of him.
