"Sir, we need to have as many heroes active around the city as possible tomorrow! You see the evidence! This isn't going to be a normal attack! This could, no will match Kamino Incident or worst if you sit in your ass! If I am wrong, you can fire me, but I am telling you to listen to me!"

You shout it out

"Virus, I understand, but this is too big of a move and too sudden. You know as well as us that we need more time than you have given us to do something like this."

But I can't hear a word you say

"THAT'S BULLSHIT! AN EXCUSE LIKE EVERY OTHER TIME! I WILL PLAN IT AND EVERYTHING! JUST LET ME PULL IT OFF!"

I'm talking loud not saying much

"You know only the Hero Commission can do something to this extent."

I'm criticized but all your bullets ricochet

"Fine. I'll do it myself. You can fire me later, but I'm not holding a death count over my head because of the ignorance of the Hero Commission."

You shoot me down, but I get up

I leave the office by slamming the door. It's ridiculous! And they wonder why I want to fight against them! As soon as I leave the Hero Commission building, I call Shouta.

I'm bulletproof nothing to lose
Fire away, fire away

"What are you calling for this time, Problem Child?"

"I need as many heroes in town as possible to join up. There is going to be a huge attack, larger than the Kamino Ward, and the HC won't listen to me. I need you to get Hizashi to get people together, and I need you to pretend to be a leader so that they will actually come."

Ricochet, you take your aim
Fire away, fire away

"Shouldn't you get someone more well-known like Hizashi to pretend-lead it?"

"You're a well-known underground hero and teacher at UA. They are more likely to listen to you than him. Just work with me here. I ain't pulling shit out of my ass. I have a genuine reason to ask you."

You shoot me down but I won't fall, I am titanium
You shoot me down but I won't fall

"Fine, kid. If it's as big as you say it will be, I'll help where I can."

"Thank you. I'll meet you at UA later."

I hang up on Shouta and get to work.

With determination and teamwork, we get over 100 heroes gathered for tomorrow.

I am titanium

Day of Attack

A hundred was not enough. There are so many powerful villains, yet so few heroes on the scene. Now we are receiving help from nearby heroes, but even an idiot would know it's not enough.

Cut me down
But it's you who has further to fall

Blood, bodies of civilians and trash heroes, and fires already decorate the streets within ten minutes.
