[Today at 1 PM, the broadcasting channels were suddenly interrupted.]
As the TV, which had been showing an entertainment program, fades to black, the scene inside an airplane begins to broadcast. The people trembling in fear, and then, the voice of Egoistic is heard.
[Welcome to the biggest quiz show in the sky, The Ego Show Live!]
Egoist’s recorded image appeared on the TV screen, grinning maliciously.
[This is the third terror incident carried out by Egoistic, who previously broadcasted his terror acts on public television twice.]
Once again, Egoistic’s voice is heard.
[The rules are simple! There will be a total of 10 nonsensical quiz questions. If you answer them all correctly, even if it’s just one person, you’ll be let go of the plane safely and soundly. But if everyone gets them wrong? Boom. The bombs will explode!]
Passengers are panic-stricken, rushing to solve the quizzes.
[Attempting to stay calm amidst the confusion, the passengers diligently worked on the nonsensical quizzes. However.]
Egoistic’s voice chimes in mockingly.
[…is not correct!!! Too bad. Well then, I guess it’s goodbye!]
At the same time, a loud bang is heard, and the interior of the airplane shakes violently.
People scream, and the airplane begins to descend rapidly.
The camera switches.
The news shows footage from a camera far away on the ground, pointing at the sea.
At first glance, it’s hard to tell, but upon closer inspection, it’s clear that the airplane is descending at an angle.
During the airplane’s desperate fall.
A small dot begins to fly toward the airplane.
And that dot collides with the airplane.
Kwoong-.
The impact was so great that it could be felt by the camera capturing the footage.
The anchor continues.
[And there she goes, flying towards the plummeting airplane. The identity of the figure is A-class hero Stardust. She had been on standby near the expected crash site and, upon seeing the plane falling, flew up single-handedly to stop it.]
[Experts had predicted that her known abilities wouldn’t be enough to stop the plane, but defying all predictions, the airplane slowly began to decelerate.]
The plane in the footage is decidedly slowing down in its fall.
[Ultimately, the plane came to a stop, and all the passengers were safely rescued. Stardust fell unconscious and was taken to a hospital, but according to the Hero Association, she had merely fainted from exhaustion and there is no serious threat to her life. This was reporter Jeon Jaeseung.]
As the report ends.
The news returns to the female anchor standing by.
She opens her mouth.
[Yes, a hero. What is a hero? Justice, salvation, sacrifice, faith… The deeds shown to us by Stardust truly belong to a hero. On behalf of our broadcast station, we express our gratitude to Stardust for protecting the citizens of Korea.]
With that, the anchor bows her head.
***
[Come on, you’ve done enough to deserve at least one day off, right? Come down and enjoy the sea, relax a bit.]
