Hero wannabe

[herodrawing]

[1]
[Once the operation on Nora colony is over, Izuru decides to check on the evacuated civilians. The memory of Commander Bruzar's sacrifice is still fresh in his mind, and he is very conflicted.

And then, when he approaches the evacuees and they actually notice him, something he never experienced before happens. They walk to him wordlessly. Then, tears in eyes, a random person Izuru never met before hugs him in thanks.

This right here are all the lives you've saved, Unity Group.]

Oh wow! I can't believe it!

[A little later, Team Rabbits from the MJP have officially been assigned to Star Rose as part of Unity Group. Want to meet with its proud members, already declared heroes? There's one right here!]

It's like a dream come true. I didn't expect it to happen that fast. It's so amazing, like a secret base of a hero with a hidden identity! What's that over there?

[Izuru is running around like a little kid on sugar. Right now he's the happiest teenager alive. Anything and anyone is bound to attract his attention.

In case you think hiding away in bases other than Star Rose will save you, no such luck. He'll visit the other places as well.]

[Said thing you're looking at seems to be a bouncing green ball that Flit's chasing after.]

H-haro! Get back here!

[herodrawing]

What's this, a robot?

[Izuru leans down to pick Haro up.]

We weren't allowed to keep pets at the dorm. Is this yours?

[kill_all_vagans]

[He nods.]

It is. And actually also-

[Flit reaches over and presses down on a specific spot, causing the Haro's head to open up and present a computer terminal.]

-Actually a computer for me to use. The pet part comes second, I guess.

[Asagi's in the same situation, only exaggerated by the fact that for a moment, he was ready to leave those people because of his orders. And now they're thanking him.]

This is... I never felt this way before.

[herodrawing]

Is this what being a hero feels like?

[cloningblues]

You're still going on about this hero stuff?

[May remains at a distance. This isn't the kind of work she's normally assigned to, so she believes she doesn't deserve recognition like that. Besides, it was Izuru and Flit who turned things around when the Wulgaru arrived.

She does smile as she watches, though.]

[herodrawing]

Thanks for your help out there. You really saved us.

[Izuru will approach May after the whole thing with the civilians is over.]

[smileys]

[This has her chuckle a bit.]

Trying to be modest now, Red Five? That should be my line.

[She offers a handshake.]

May Greenfield.

[Anything and anything? What about a large, wide robot frame plastered with conspicuous signs of GRAVEYARD walking around.

The person in question, however, is not very enthusiastic about the attention. Kagura barely turns her "head" at Izuru poking and spinning around her.]

WHO LET THE HAMSTER IN. [The somewhat disqieting synthesized voice comes out a bit later, after some annoyance]

[herodrawing]

The robot is talking?!

[Izuru a shock!]

I didn't realize there's a person inside, sorry!

[keep_your_dignity]

THERE ISN'T.

NOW STOP WITH THE SQUEALING. I'M TRYING TO INSPECT THIS PLACE.

Man... I knew there were a lot of people on Nora, but I hadn't realised there'd be this many...

Though, seems the 'hero' has a fan already.

[herodrawing]

Me, having fans?

[That's hard to believe even for Izuru himself.]

[gold_four]

I'm not the one getting hugged by strangers.

[Though as he spies out some of the more attractive ladies in the crowd, Ataru clenches his fist in frustration that its yet to happen.]

[majestic_keiki]

[Kei is there as well. It was quite a relief to see them all safe like that, even if she'd been prepared to follow orders. She was trying to hang back and avoid too much attention, not at all sure what to say or do.]

[herodrawing]

[Hey Kei, look. Izuru offers you support and encouragement.

He does it by giving you a dorky looking thumbs-up. It's the thought that matters?]

[blackhole_sunattack]

[[Lo, behold the monstrosity and blockiness that is the DaiFighter. How does one ship fit inside the station? What's more, how could that thing even match with the new hotness that is Team Rabbits' units, or that shiny new Age?]]

A secret base? You haven't seen anything yet!

[herodrawing]

There's more? I want to see, please!

[The DaiFighter looks cool enough to be drawn, so Izuru produces his sketchbook and searches his pockets around for a pencil.]

[kinaesthete]

That's the maintenance rig for the Rose! It's where the armor skin's segments are replaced - that's why it looks so different to a regular mech's.

[Cathy looks amused. It might be that Izuru reminds her of her younger sister from not so long ago.]

[herodrawing]

A robot with armor skin? I never saw anything like it before. So that's why, I see it all now.

[Izuru nods, immediately understanding all the intricacies of the system. Or pretending to.]

[abugslife]

[Hey Izuru, a crate is moving. Because it's being carried by two giant bugs.]

[herodrawing]

Ahh, bugs! Giant bugs are infesting the base, and they steal our stuff!

Someone, come here please!

[dolorous_sensei]

There's nothing exciting about any part of the phrase "secret base of a hero with secret identity." Which part of that phrase is good at all?

[herodrawing]

The whole phrase sounds good if you ask me. It means there are secret heroes who watch over the world to make sure it goes around!
