When the Hero Association had been founded, there were initially only three classes: Class C, Class B, and Class A. As well as that, monsters were not classified as 'demon', 'dragon', and so on - they were simply known as 'monsters that only Class A heroes could defeat'.

However, the Hero Association staff recognized that certain heroes were able to consistently defeat monsters that other top-ranked heroes failed to defeat. To prevent rare talents from being hidden, they formed a special class. The new class specialized in combat ability and was treated on the same level as an emergency army division. This new class came to be known as the S-Class.

Many of the heroes that were currently part of the S Class had originally had very low ranks. Bang was mid Class B. Metal Bat had been in the lower spectrum of Class C. Superalloy Darkshine had been at the bottom of Class C.

But there was one hero who had always been on top, even before the creation of the S Class. Her name was Megami Saikou, but she was better known as 'Goddess', due to her elegant appearance and swift destruction of her enemies. She carried herself not with arrogance but with an aura of power. She was mature despite her young age. So much so that she made adults feel inferior to her.

Before the S Class had been founded, Megami was rank 1 in Class A. She was immensely wealthy, being the heiress to Saikou Corp, as well as being very intelligent and very powerful. She was respected by heroes and civilians alike and feared by monsters. Most shockingly, she was incredibly young, only being around the age of 15 at the time. And yet, she was so powerful, no monster had even been able to scratch her.

She was untouchable, she was unstoppable, and she always won, no matter what. She truly was a goddess.

Of course, the S Class would not be complete without someone like Megami. She and her company essentially made up half of the Hero Association's overall strength. They needed her. With her on their side, they would have the public's most utmost support.

Not everyone knew, but part of the reason the Hero Association relied on Megami Saikou so heavily was because of Blast. Sitch has spoken to Blast before, and the hero had told him to give all of his hero duties to Megami. And if she couldn't handle them, only then would he make a move.

To their surprise, Megami had successfully answered each of the Hero Association's calls. No matter what, she always came out on top, even when the Hero Association thought it was an impossible situation. She took out whatever monster came her way, whether it be using physical prowess, or an army of weaponry. She reminded the Association of Traveller, not just physically but the way she fought as well. Perhaps she was Traveller's long lost daughter?

Whatever the case, Megami was dominating the hero world. She was the perfect hero, a great leader, shown by how she treated her fellow S Class heroes, and undoubtedly the strongest hero they had, aside from Blast himself.

Which is why the Hero Association had to wonder where she was currently residing.

Of course, she had told them she was away due to 'family business', but had refused to go into detail about said family business. They could accept that. After all, Megami had done so much for them; she deserved a break.

But she was still gone, even when the Hero Association was facing its worst crisis. They needed her back now more than ever.

Kuroko, Megami's second in command, scowled, checking her phone. Most of the S Class heroes were in some kind of crisis. Some heroes on the support team had died. Some heroes that were not on the support team had also died. And the phone's readings were telling her something bad was happening, deep within the Monster Association.
