was the real villain in that Smackdown.

Apparently Smile lost all humanity and went completely berserk.

Whatever. X will crush him anyway.

And he'll crush fear while he's at it.

Sure.

Break it up. Enough gossip. Tomorrow is day one of the tournament and the

biggest day of the year for us.

So look alive.

You'll be configuring our servers and networks all night long.

How

come

he gets to leave?

Huh? Someone left?

Thank you.

We're going to destroy X.

I thought you knew that.

Then why are you letting him take the tournament stage?

Do you want him to become a god?

It's cute how naive you are.

Look, there's nothing to worry about. These heroes play dirty, and they want

win. X will make it five minutes.

Just relax.

You're brand new.

You can coast through this, okay?

I can stop him.

Oh? You can.

What's your brilliant scheme?

I'm all ears.

He messed up. Put himself onto slay.

I know who he is.

I'll kill him before he ever sees me coming.

Crap. He saw me coming.

We meet again?

You tired yourself out yet?

Why are you here?

You must have some reason.

What's so wrong with a dog kicking in someone's walk, huh?

Well, you've been following me since I left work.

Is there a dog park nearby I don't know about?

You're afraid. You don't want to turn into a demon, do you?

I don't know what you mean by that.

Just drop out before you become the bad guy.

That's why you came here.

And what if I refuse?

I'll tell them who you really are.

Everyone will know.

You mean you haven't done that already?

Well then, how did they know where to find me?

I can't bring myself.

Who were those guys?

Did they work for the commission?

I thought you'd know.

You're the one who tipped them off.

I didn't. I swear.

I haven't said a thing to anyone.

Our intel was correct.

We have discovered X's true identity.

Typical rock.

Gramps can find out anything.

If you knew where he was employed, you wouldn't be playing your little game.

That's enough.

His identity is top secret. You call us all here the night before the

tournament. The commission is more concerned than you're letting on.

We can't afford to take another risk.

He's concealed his identity from the beginning.

And he's refused to join an agency.

He's done all he can to put himself above the commission and his

Perhaps his intentions were good, but he is human.

Greed is sewn into our DNA.

We'll eliminate the risk tonight, even if that means making sacrifices.

Get down the building! What's he thinking?

Heroes, on the commission, rank number 15.

It's able to keep up with you? Interesting.

Exit natural enemy.

Pity he couldn't squeeze into the top ten.

Third thing. I'm glad you see who the real demons are.

Be right there.

Woohoo!

Where are we?

Come on.

Drinks are on me.

I thought the commission had banned pre -tournament fighting.

What are the agencies thinking coming after you like this?

For a dog, you don't have a great nose.

Think, who was it that sent those goons to my apartment?

You see, are the hero agencies in cahoots with the commission?

Of course.

If you want to control the puppets, you gotta go for the ones holding the

strings.

Balance is the goal, so the commission and the agencies cooperate to keep each

other in check.

The heroes are nothing.

Tiny chess pieces in one massive game.

On the bright side, enough trust and boom, you're a pawn. Even puppies get to

play. I will not let you get in my head.

Little late for that.

I thought you took all the credit for our last fight.

Why? You lied straight to the camera. But I wasn't getting much conviction.

My job is to protect Xenia. The commission was established to protect

too.

Where are you going?

I'm getting... a drink.

Another?

Well, they were quick.

Flight's not an option this time.

Fine.

I'll show you the truth.

Rewind the truth.

About what?

Where are we now?

You want to know the truth, right?

I'll tell you.

This is a story about the world's first dragon.

He was the first hero and had endless trust.

There was no commission back then.

No one to measure his power or keep him in line.

In short order, he became a god.

His moral compass guided all of humanity.

All was well.

Until he killed a hero who defied his will.

Then another.

And another.

And another.

The killing wouldn't stop.

The trust he had cultivated turned into fear.

He was no longer the dragon slayer, but the evil dragon he had sworn to slay.

This is the truth the commission fights to hide.

But I've heard this story.

It took a group of heroes to defeat him, backed by the trust of the people.

That's the Commission's version of history.

One where the truth about Zero has been buried.

But try as they may, there will always be people who want to break that seal.

Is this kid one of Zero's most zealous worshippers?

He longed to shape the world alongside his idol.

Instead, he watched it God fall and the hero world rise.

Breaking news.

E -Soul's lightning slash dealt the final blow in the war against Zero. At

hands of our united heroes, the great evil Zero has at long last been

This monument honors all who lost their lives in the tragedy of Dawnfall.

Friends, family, and heroes.

Let us forever remember this lesson.

Unrestrained trust can quickly become a catalyst for disaster.

Today marks the birth of the Hero Affairs Commission. This historic moment

usher in a new era of heroes. The commission has announced that all ranked

heroes will be asked to move into Hero Tower. The higher a hero's ranking, the

higher the floor they will live on.

They plan to begin a biennial tournament in which the top 10 heroes compete for

the first slot.

The finale of this year's tournament concluded with another DOS victory.

Will anyone ever be able to shake the DOS empire?

Big Dog's DOS and MG are finally being challenged by a younger, more cutting

-edge wave of hero agencies.

The golden age of heroes has begun.

Someone is on the climb and they can't be stopped.

Though some call it a cheat code, the agency has given everyone a chance to

become the next big thing.

The Commission is so worried that I'll become the next Zero. They fail to see.

The first Zero never perished.

Fear never disappeared.

Alongside trust, it blossomed.

And the power triggered a domino effect.

Sending us straight into each other's world.

I used to think my path as a hero began with that coin.

But the seeds of cause and effect were planted long ago.

Sorry.

That was a lot for a dog. A lot for anyone, really.

My point here is... We're pawns, and the hand guiding our next move...

It's fate.

We live in a world where heroes are made by and for the people and forged by

trust. Today, that trust shall earn one hero the title of act.

And now, put your hands together and join me in welcoming our nation's best

brightest. I give you this year's top.

What are you doing?

What's your plan here?

To defy the hand of fate, of course.

Time to clock

out.

I tried to be so cool.

Look at me now. I don't know how, but I'm a real hero.

Jump into the night, cause tonight is not trouble.

Don't you miss my joke, got me on the level.

Gotta make this run, so move it right above us. Me and my nausea, nausea,

nausea. Double E, I'll be, be, I'll be, be.

Triple E, I'll be, be, be, be.

I still

ain't
