1 The unsuccessful Hero

In a broken-down building, present in some unknown alley of Central city, a man could be seen lying down a flimsy bed, which looked like it could collapse with even the tiniest of movement.

This poor and pitiful guy is known as Blitz. However, none could be blamed except himself, for his current living conditions.

He was born and brought up in a fairly decent orphanage, which paid for his education until his sophomore year.

He was then offered a decent job by the government at a weapons manufacturing industry, which mainly consisted of cleaning the factory, maintaining the entry and exit files, keeping track of the production each day to identify and prevent thefts.

However, fate had its own plans.

"1,237,604 products...yep!" Blitz shut the records book with an audible THUK! "no missing equipment today either. Not like anyone is brave enough to steal from the factory. Not unless they want their whole family to be implicated, only a fool would do it."

BOOM! Just as he had finished muttering to himself about how only a fool would steal from here, an explosion could be heard at the entrance of the factory.

After 2 minutes of shooting sounds, which followed after, the sound of footsteps of a large number of people approaching could be heard.

THUD! the door was kicked open by a hulking figure of a 9 feet tall man.

After the man kicked the door open, he entered and stood to the side, along with 3 others, thus allowing the final figure, who seemed to be their leader to enter and face a scared and dumbfounded Blitz.

The one who broke the door was a 9 feet tall man with a tanned complexion, wearing an aqua blue top which was black on his chest area. However, the top didn't seem to match his hulking figure, and thus exposed his 8-pack midriff.

The next one was a female, wearing an orange leotard and seemed to be aflame.

The other two were males.

One was wearing a purple and white skin-tight jumpsuit, with a matching racing helmet.

The other guy had orange hair and wore casual clothing with black gloves.

The leader, on the other hand, looked more menacing, donning a purple full body armour suit which had shades of white mixed in, along with a white mask with a black stripe on its left eye, covering his visage.

His navy blue hair which flowed down till his shoulder blades swayed as he strode towards Blitz.

"Where is it?" he asked.

Blitz still in his stupor on seeing the uninvited guests gave no reply.

The leader signalled to the hulking figure with his right hand, to which he nodded.

The hulking figure strode towards Blitz and kicked his shin inwards, thus effectively crippling him for life.

"Aaaarghhh" Blitz cried in pain on having his right leg broken, splintered in fact, by having it kicked the wrong way.

"Let me make it more clear," said the leader calmly "where are the weapons stored?"

Unwilling to undergo any further torture, Blitz pointed towards a particular wall while still lying on the ground holding his crippled leg with the other hand.

The leader looked toward the guy wearing casuals, who nodded and disappeared the next second, only to return moments later, touching the side of a huge container, which the hulking man, who was apparently called "Hardsell" by the teleporter named "Split", picked up like it was nothing.

Why did they reveal their names to Blitz after taking all these measures? cause they never had any intentions of letting him leave alive, which Blitz found out when the leader put a bullet through his chest.
