Summary
Blue outlasts Eel Dragon, but the win costs him his battle suit, now dead and shattered. Undeterred, he sets a course for Mirror. The machine keeps hammering Suiko outside the headquarters and drives her onto the back foot, until Overgrown Rover, carrying Black Sperm, storms in to join the fight.
Key Events
After a punishing duel Blue finally outlasts Eel Dragon, then hears from McCoy that Mirror has surfaced and resolves to rush over despite his ruined suit. Inside the Hero Association headquarters, the executives scramble to lock down shelter space for themselves and their relatives. When Sitch orders the nearby bunkers thrown open to the public, the brass find their own assignments bumped to a distant site and turn on him in fury. McCoy, lounging in a first-class shelter and watching the monitors, muses that the Association is going under and looks forward to the Neo Heroes' leaders swooping in to end the threat, exposing how useless the Association's heroes have become.
Out front, Mirror pelts Suiko with a barrage of energy spheres that she weaves around. As she tries to draw the battle away from a residential block, Mirror fires one toward the homes anyway, but Overgrown Rover, with Black Sperm on its back, blocks it with a sphere of its own. Black Sperm announces that he will not let Mirror trash his turf as Rover returns fire.
