Chapter 61: Performative Heroism

"Wait," Yessenia pleaded against the person wearing a helmeted diver helmet and suit, walking towards them with a harpoon. "This movie isn't an attack on Coalition!"

"My employees see your name as the antagonist and disagree," bending a pistol of sweat firing at their targets Lorena shielded with her briefcase, blowing both ladies back.

Lorena tried busting open the door while Yessenia screamed for help, surprised it was locked from outside. She turned back.

"Wait, you haven't read the script! Aqua's supposed to become a good guy in the end! Blazer finds out she was being used by Meteor Tech and they team up to help her save her son from becoming a monster and save both kingdoms!"

"Coalition's rules are law. Those who create content must present them in a manner beneficial to Coalition's governmental decree: presentable, heroic, traversal, heralds who led the world to safety from the Voids."

"Then let the film be released and allow the people to decide. The royal family and the populace will see that it follows the guidelines!"

"I can assure you, they won't."

The redhead reached inside of her pocket, forming rock around her hands, winding them back.

"And aggravated assaults reach out? How will Saiban respond to attacks against the co-lead of the film?"

"With impunity. Our employer is above the concept of the law. End production now, or I will."

After pressing send, Lorena yelled fine, under one condition.

"Was Pedro Guillermo also purged for that reason?"

The assailant stopped to think. "That name," pulling out their device. "Wasn't that the name of that old investigator who attempted to sue the kingdom for some minor infraction? My assignments all blend in together. A danger to the peace will die deceased."

Lorena's head lowered while Yessenia grew agasted.

"A danger to the peace? He was always trying to help people the guards never bothered to support! How could you call someone like that a danger to anyone!"

"We govern by the law. Those in power order, those underneath obey! Just be the pretty little doll, speak when spoken too, and play your role."

"Or what? What good are laws that only serve to hurt people?"

"Shut up and do as you're told!" Just as he formed a ball of hydronic energy in his palms, Lorena launched her airborne, dropping darkness into the trailer room.

Meanwhile, Gako introduced the stunt team to Sehki, and he eagerly asked them to train him, showing him how they operate: punches and kicks should appear to make contact, showing how they anticipate each other's attacks.

And they got to tell him about the time Gako performed stunts, and the time he almost fell trying to perform flips while in the suit.

"Huh, have you ever tried using your bandages as a weapon?"

"Oh," thinking back to the Cosmic Whip, unloosing some and watching his shadow follow through it, coming close to hitting another performer. "Sorry about that! You all are using it for entertaining, I'm trying to use it to fight people."

"Nonsense. Life is about applying our skills. We use combat to create illusions. The reverse is also true."

"Not sure what your StellArts is, but you fight with them," Gako assumed, "like my feathers, right? They're not only your ally, but another tool to spread your range," creating a feather like stunt double. "Try it."

"Sure," summoning out his shadow, using what he learned from before to box it with against Gako. The moment Sehki saw Gako's body move, he jumped to block the feather clone while his silhouette caught the actor's hand, both at a stalemate.

"Good," recalling them back. "Back when I was younger, these guys were my only friends. They saved me from who I could've become, and helped me be where I am now."

"Were you chosen to fight the Voids?"

"Didn't have a choice. So I fled. All my life I got into fights, but the biggest one I couldn't bring myself to deal with. Here I am trying to be a hero to others, but not one for myself," carrying a motorcycle with his feathers.

"Hey, there's more to strength than just how hard you can hit someone else. I'm sure you're making people try to live their lives better."

"I always wanted to be like the legend of Cygnus Crescent. A man who could take on an army even if his allies were scratched."

"I knew it! But that's what makes us heroes. We suffer so others don't have to. I'm far from a hero, but I'll play the role so y'all can see this to the end."

Gako laughed. "It doesn't look like it, but Yessenia says the same thing when no one's around. Hop on," revving the motorcycle and making a sidecar with the feathers for him to ride in it.

"Hey, find your friend and Yessenia," the cinematographer yelled. "We'll add you into a scene, take more photos, and have you ride with the leads."

It was when he got the text. "Where's her trailer? We have to head there, quick," explaining.

"Alright, stunt team, we'll get the ladies and lead them to you! The rest of you, contact Cusp's milita, we're close enough," Gaku ordered, driving off. He drove out of the building, attaching feathers to his bike's thrusters and sides as wings to the living quarters on the other side of the film set and neighborhood.

On their way, they found Yessenia and Lorena driving away from the masked attacker flying after them. The latter's head fired spit that missed and ripped holes into the buildings while the creeped summoned a giant fish from the sea below into the road.

Trapped, Yessenia grabbed her sister and formed scales around her arms and legs, while coating herself with slime, slipping past the fish's skin with her newfound slimy skin, and skating through the ground, spotting the boys and jumping through the prop buildings.

The men gave them space to climb abroad.

"And you said being a Hydra StellArts was a bad thing," Gako teased.

Yessenia groaned. "You're just as annoying as your character!"

"Sehki, I have an idea on who it is! Can you get his mask off?"

"Sure. Lore, Yess, Gako, let's play hero!"
