The “Great” Hero fell 3 years ago, no one knew of the atrocities that Razorfang committed. Devouring villain’s henchmen, brutally murdering one villain’s child and making the villain watch… Every villain felt horrible for Spider Queen Arachne, losing her first child, all she wanted was to be a mother. Sharkbreath made a plan with the rest of the villains, wanting to all team up to finally slay this “Hero” that humanity looked up to so much.

Razorfang’s one weakness was water. He drowned in a long slow process. They slowly added acid to the water, to eat away at his skin. He was weighed down by a weighted net he got tangled in and held down by Sharkbreath. Sharkbreath’s arms suffered some from the acidic water, but they deemed it worth slaying this horrid hero.

The Hero Union panicked at the news of Razorfang’s death. They randomly picked his successor, landing on a newbie hero named Starshine. No one really backed the new Great Hero, believing this newbie was weak, incompetent, and soft. Starshine is an innocent young hero, she was only rank F before the raffle. She isn’t the best fighter, in fact, she is a pacifist. Most in the Hero Union do not agree with this sentiment and wish to revoke her Great Hero rank.

But the Hero Union doesn’t get to decide who has the Great Hero rank, the rank itself chooses. The title is also a set of skills that magically attach to whoever it chooses to hold the rank. No one else can claim to be a Great Hero for this reason, and no one can choose who the Great Hero becomes. Starshine got the extra skills, so she’s the Great Hero, whether or not society likes it.

The villains met up to discuss this new ascension. Each one worried the strict vow of pacifism was for show. They decided to test this new great hero. The Spider Queen decides to be her first opponent. Starshine is swiftly caught in Spider Queen’s web, and Arachne monologues, hinting some at the prior hero’s crimes.

“I know what Razorfang did. I was a victim too.” Starshine sighs “It’s why I took a strict vow of pacifism. I do not care what happens to me because of it, I don’t want to cause that much violence even if it’s in the name of “protecting” others… I will stand strong Spider Queen! You will not defeat me!” She then uses a skill to cut herself out of the webs, never getting the blade close to Arachne.

The Spider Queen was intrigued. A victim of Razorfang? Just what did this child do to get on his bad side? Arachne continues her assault on Starshine, who only evaded and blocked. Each time Starshine blocks, Arachne noticed a new type of scar. Burn, acid, cut, bite, and binding scars are noticeable. The Spider Queen wonders where those came from, this hero was still quite green after all, being only a hero for a few months when Razorfang’s death was reported.

“So dearie, what’s with all the scarring? Did you find yourself in a battle you couldn’t win?”

Arachne smirks, binding the young hero once again.

“The scarring was from my father… You’re probably familiar with him. You will surrender to me! I will foil your plans without violence!”

Starshine escapes once more, sliding under The Spider Queen and destroying her giant spider generator. Starshine then stands up, dusts herself off, and takes the stairs down.

“There we go! I’ll be back if you try anything!” Starshine says before she goes. Arachne is a bit stunned, she knew Starshine looked slightly familiar, but the fact she’s Razorfang’s *kid*?! That was surprising. This kid is a teenager, maybe 16 at the oldest, and now she’s assigned to fight the largest villain organization in the world because she got a title.

Arachne goes back to meet with the other villains, filling them in on the events and discoveries. Most of the Hero Union will commit violence against them, if the kid dies, Razorfang may be repeated. They make an agreement to not let this hero die. It’s been 3 years now, and that promise continues.

Arachne is always trying to adopt Starshine, but Starshine thinks it’s a trick. The Spider Queen did have another child, and Starshine has been nothing but kind to them. Each henchman is given the rundown.

“Boss, you’re being too soft on this wannabe hero! Starshine is not skilled in the slightest! She’s easy to just kill!” A new henchman argues with Galax. “I could shoot her through the skull and we’d be done!”

Galax is not a patient galactic entity. “You do not understand what the last hero was like. If that ball of sunshine dies, we will have a violent hero who will not hesitate to take your life. If you try anything I will devour you like the previous hero did to my henchmen.”

The newbie scoffs, and later tries to shoot Starshine, who barely dodges. Galax flares up in anger, but first pauses to address Starshine.

“Sorry about that kid, my henchman here is new and doesn’t understand our rules… Excuse me while I teach him a lesson.” Galax then devours his henchman in a black hole for disrespecting the one hero who has given them respect.

“My apologies again. How’s that report about the higher ups in this city embezzling money going?”

“Oh, it’s going well, but the Union says I need more proof than just testimonies… I am also still trying to help out that issue for the Spider Queen getting supplies for her baby, but I don’t think the Union takes me seriously…”

“I can help you get some proof. When do you need it by? My network is vast after all.”

“Well- you were the one who told me about all the embezzlement going on because of your tragic villain backstory- if you have concrete proof that would be great. My deadline is Wednesday-“

As the two speak, Galax is attacking and Starshine evades or blocks each attack.

“I was once someone who worked there, I can get you all sorts of records~”

“That would be great, thanks- anyway, I have to foil your plan now, no time for a chat, I have a commitment later.”

“Ooh, what kind of commitment?”

“I’m not telling you guys all the details. I don’t want it crashed. It is a birthday party for my younger sibling, that’s all you’re getting.”

“Oh that’s sweet, we wouldn’t crash it. The Villain Council will send a few gifts if that is ok?”

“I don’t think that would be because one of you would probably send a bomb.”

“Fair point.”

Starshine quickly destroys the black hole creation ray, that was never technically on because Galax didn’t want a black hole to actually exist, fearing that Starshine would get caught in it. “You’ve thwarted me, congrats, I’ll send over what evidence I have to your Hero Union mailbox under “Gally xylophone” once again. Enjoy your commitment!”
