A beeping sound was heard as steel bars were opened to the cold grounds of Redwood Prison's super human section. By the lone sonorous footsteps created, the narrow walkway of vacuum was infected with an eerie echo, causing all the sensitive live cameras to turn to the direction of the exit.

Over one hundred cameras plastered on the grey walls had their lens deeply concentrated to the 6.2 inches male figure.

Still walking through the 35 metres hallway, the cameras trailed his direction until he reached the thick rocky door leading to Zone Zero. The moment his footsteps ended, the door flinched and suddenly faded away like a glitching hologram. The procrastinating shadow which was cast on the ground looked lighter and unstable until suddenly, it vanished along with the cameras.

No one could tell if it was all just a virtual projection or real.

There was nothing different in Eden as long as vigilantes once again fight for their freedom against the States most powerful team of heroes; Capables.

There was no team more experienced and strong amongst the society than the Capables. Though they still have trainees pursuing to join with a legally approved rank, only the remaining six have kept the crime wave under control since the new era.

Kindle; the leader of the team, Motion; the only special speedster on the list, Lacey; the magenta phoenix with limitless skill and queer silence, Tremor; another female member of the team with great earth bending tactics, Black Boulder; the only black muscular guy in the team with no second thoughts when it comes to smashing and Narrator; the ace card on deck. No secrets remain hidden when he's around.

With four of the team members chasing after Duplico; the young Spanish anti-hero, he raced on the walkway of N1 footbridge with his oval-like surf board careless of the obstacles.

As hard as the winds breeze gushed to his face, his stressing sweats remained constant as he made his way through to the N1 foot bridge for easy access to the other side of the walkway. Before he noticed, Lacey stood waiting from a close distance away from him. It was obvious that he was trapped.

Only a rain gauge could tell the amount of water he had lost over all the sweating that soaked both his blue jacket and T-Shirt.

"You made a wrong choice, Spanish jerk!" Black Boulder grimaced as he drifted to his face, having a portion of the earth beneath him. Lacey now moved aside and followed the cream haired premier maiden hero of Eden City to serve justice.

Before Duplico could begin his plead for mercy, a tooth was knocked out by the fist of Tremor. Still on the ground, Duplico tried to endure the sour pain inflicted, but there was nothing like a time out for him. Tremor held him by the shirt with one hand, and clenched her other hand into a fist covered with his blood. Her face fumed in anger.

"You had your chance to turn over a new leaf in jail kid. Now you've run out of chances." With the intention of doing a favour to the tooth fairy once again, she dragged with force her power packed fists only to be stopped by her brother. "The media is watching sis."

"I'm not letting him go free for the 8th time-"She insisted but was immediately cut off by the team leader.

"I'll handle this." Kindle interfered with a slow bland tone as he walked towards Duplico in his grease stained vest and jeans.

There was no day that Kindle came out of their tower without his suit even when his schedule has been interfered. And there was no day that ended well when he stated 'I'll handle this.' to his targets. Despite all his limitless powers, the public feared his facial expressions the most. In the book of history, he's only smiled never in a blue moon, and still remains inscrutable even when hell goes cold.
