Silent Heroes Wildcat

“Damn it!” grumbled Clyde while running in a crowd.

Clyde is late. He should be with his team right now doing a mission. The mission is to take care of bank robbery. He is informed that a strong criminal joins the robbery. He is worried about the safety of his friends and people in the bank. He is also worried that he could not make it in time and that he might end up failing the mission.

Clyde keeps on running in a hurry. He almost bumps into some people in his way. The heat of sunlight makes him sweat and he is about to get pissed off by the situation right now.

“He is the Buff Hero, right?” A lady asks her friend while staring at Clyde.

“The Buff Hero is here? Where are the other members?” A young boy recognizes Clyde.

The crowd starts to recognize Clyde as one of the heroes in the city. Knowing that some people know about his identity, Clyde starts to control his temper and stays cool.

“Good luck, Buff Hero!” A middle-aged man shouted at Clyde.

Hearing that words of encouragement, Clyde starts to smile and his eyes are gleaming with enthusiasm. His steps are getting stronger and his body feels somehow refreshed.

Clyde responds to the man encouraging him by raising his right hand and then lifting his thumb. “I will do my best!”

Clyde is a young man who enjoys his life to the fullest working as a hero. Clyde can raise physical potentials like power, defense, and speed. He is well known as Buff Hero. Many people underestimate his passive ability but he always tries his best to make his ability useful for others and save people in danger.

Clyde starts to pick up his phone and he tries to pinpoint the location where the robbery is happening. It will be about one kilometer until he arrives at the designated location. He swiftly puts his phone back into his pocket and he starts to accelerate his running speed.

“Alright, I’m almost there.” Clyde starts grinning and he tries not to panic.

The situation around him is getting quiet. Few people are spotted in his sight means that the citizens have been told to evacuate. Whenever there is a criminal case, sometimes a battle might occur. When a battle occurs, the area can be dangerous for the citizens.

As a hero, Clyde is responsible to keep people safe. He is also responsible to deal with criminals or villains. Being heroes can be a risky job because they risk their lives to save others' lives. However, if heroes are working together in a team, they will have a higher chance to accomplish missions. The payment for the hero job is also promising. That is why many people born with power in the city want to be heroes.

Some minutes later, Clyde finally arrives at the location.

The area around the bank looks messed up. The bank’s door is broken. The walls are tattered. Broken glass is scattered on the road. Clyde sees one of his teammates, Lottie laying on the road. It seems like she is fainted. One big guy is protecting Lottie from a masked robber. The big guy is Ralph, one of his teammates too.

“I’m sorry to keep you waiting, guys. How is the situation, Leon?” Clyde quickly walks toward Leon, one of his teammates.

Leon is the leader of Clyde’s team of heroes. Their team’s name is Fiesty Five. Fiesty Five is well-known for its great power and contribution to dealing with various criminal cases. If people are talking about Fiesty Five, of course, they will always refer to Leon, who is the leader. Leon is famous for his ability to use his firepower. He can control and manifest his fiery power very well and combine it with his fighting abilities. Those things make him very good in battle. Leon’s hero's name is Flamethrower.

“What takes you so long, Slackey Clyde!?” Leon shouted at Clyde.

“I said sorry!” Clyde answered Leon.

Clyde feels a bit angry because he had to deal with Leon’s duty. As a leader of a team, Leon has to report to the cops regarding the recent missions and cases happening. However, when Leon was about to do reporting duty, he accidentally accepted a job dealing with robbery because it will give worthy cash and also he could get more points to rank up. So, Leon ended up asking Clyde to do a reporting job while Leon and the other three went for the mission first. Clyde had no idea what to do with the reporting duty and Leon did not give him some detailed instructions about the duty. That is why Clyde had a difficult time doing reporting duty and it made him come late to do his mission.

“You are not going near Lottie!” Ralph is angry. He growls and slowly his body is pumped up.

Ralph is a muscular man with a big body and can strengthen his power. The rise of power in his body can transform him into a monster with insane power. However, if he goes too far, he can lose his sanity which makes him a berserker. Ralph’s hero's name is Cruncher. He can crush many objects with his big strong hands.

“Not so easy, big guy.” The masked robber points his unique gun at Ralph.

PEW!

A strong electric laser is shot and it hits Ralph. Ralph’s body is covered with electricity and it stuns his movement. Ralph is struggling and he tries to recover from the paralyze. After some seconds, Ralph stopped moving and he slowly goes down. Ralph still have a little consciousness but he could not move his body.

While Ralph is facing the masked robber, a woman quickly comes closer to pick up Lottie’s body and move her to a safe place. That woman’s name is Lucille.

Lucielle is the vice leader of Fiesty Five. She is quite intelligent and has a strong will. Lucielle’s ability is shooting lasers from her fingers and hands. The laser power can be destructive and can pierce through some objects if she gives more focus while shooting. Her hero's name is Limelight.

Lottie is the youngest member of Fiesty Five. Her ability is acceleration. She can move and run very fast. Her movement is agile and she can create a hurricane with her speed. Her hero's name is Swift Feet. Even though she is agile, she has a low defense which makes her quite vulnerable.

“Any good strategy, Leon?” Lucille asks Leon. She is panicking because two of her teammates are down.

After some seconds, some robbers are coming out from the bank with bags full of money. They are heading toward the two big cars parked near the bank.

“I will stop them!” Lucielle lifts her two hands. She aims her fingers at those running robbers to stop them from escaping.

Pew! Pew! Pew!

Lucielle’s lasers are shot consecutively. Some shots are hit and some are missed.

“Get lost already, you heroes!” The masked robber helps cover the escaping robbers. He tries to interrupt Lucielle from shooting her laser by shooting his paralyze gun.

“That masked robber has a paralyzing gun with him. We need to be careful with that. ” Leon is mumbling and he is thinking hard.

Leon knows that going near the masked robber is hard because that gun is troublesome. Lottie who has high speed can also be taken down easily. It seems like that masked robber is an experienced wanted criminal. That masked robber can also avoid projectile attacks from Lucielle with ease. Even Ralph with high power could not get near him. And now he has Clyde on his side.

“Clyde, I want you to be the bait,” Leon asks Clyde without hesitation.

“What! How? Why me!?” Clyde responded with confusion.

“It will be hard for me and Lucielle to stop that masked robber. We need to distract him and limit his movement.” Leon tries to explain his strategy.

“I don’t think that is a good idea. Isn’t it better if I use my ability to strengthen your ability instead? As usual?”

“Come on! Make yourself useful! I know what is best for us. I am the leader! To be the bait! Distract that masked robber! I and Lucielle will finish him off!” Leon commanded.
