[Montage of Moto-kun fighting the Bone-horde of Lower Earth]
We spend our days dreaming
Stirring in our sleep
Driving through our lives!
Full of octane gas
Open throttle (we’re gonna crash!)
Can’t stop this feeling (in my heart)
Fiercest, only, auto-kun… Moto-kun (Moto-kun!)
Fiercest, only, auto-kun… Moto-kun (Moto-kun!)
Full of octane gas
Open throttle (we’re gonna last!)
Can’t stop this feeling (in my heart)
Approaching certain victory
Fight the power (unleash the power!)
Drown out all the cheering fans
Defeat evil that controls the land

[Montage of Moto-kun driving across the landscape. Moto-kun is in its scooter form, and Al, the foul-mouthed barbarian alternates carrying Moto-kun uphill and riding it down hill. The blue barbarian makes carrying the tiny scooter look easy, while going downhill, Al holds on for dear life.
[The montage ends as Moto-kun and Al nearly careen into a wandering group of undead skeletons—the Bone-horde of Lower Earth. Moto-kun skids to a halt, and Al is thrown headfirst into a mass of skeletons.
[Al rises out of the skeletons. He swings his massive battle-axe, cleaving swathes of the battlefield in half.]
“Crumble and fall, you ash-mouthed bastards! May the sun sear what’s left of your bones!
[Cue stylized view of Moto-kun transforming from its normal scooter form to its scooter ninja form.
[Moto-kun’s frame and wheelbase shifted. Its twin wheels rearranged beneath it like feet and hips. Its frame split, revealing a thin, lithe metal torso. Moto-kun skated forward and unsheathed twin blades from its forearms.]
Moto-kun backflipped overtop of the first skeleton and lopped its skull off in a single well-timed swipe. “It’s time to get isekai’d!”
Al shouted, “You still haven’t told me what that means!”
Moto-kun landed on the shoulders of the next skeleton, then proceeded to sprint over the top of the horde, stepping expertly from one set of bony shoulders to the next.
“It’s an ancient word from my realm,” Moto-kun said, not pausing as it cut down another skeleton. It continued monologuing while decapitating skeletons. “Many auto-kun believe that when someone dies in battle, they are sent to a better place. It’s said that in this new world, they can atone for the sins and laziness of their past. Become new people—make something of themselves instead of wasting away.

“There is no name for this afterlife. There is only the word for going there. That is what isekai means!”
[The two warriors met each other in battle and began fighting back-to-back. Al’s massive swings take out five enemies at a time, but Moto-kun’s blades are a whirlwind of destruction.]
“That’s poetic, Moto-kun. You should’ve been a bard.” Al roared, “Get isekai’d, you shambling bone-rattlers!”

TIMESTAMP ERROR DETECTED
APPROXIMATELY -5.1.17 PRE-INCIDENT
[Local News Break — 5 o’clock News]
[The camera focuses on Bethany Wonder, seated at the Belport Bulletin desk. She’s wearing a purple dress with her red hair in a tight bun, with a serious expression as she shuffles her notes. A subtle tension fills the room as the broadcast begins and she nods at someone off-screen.]
“Good evening, I’m Bethany Wonder, and tonight, we begin with an update on the horrific attack that took place at Memorial Plaza last week, an incident that left dozens wounded and caused millions of dollars in damage to one of our city’s revered landmarks.
“In a calculated assault, a group led by the former hero-turned-villain Emmett Laraway, alias Mod, launched an attack on a joint squadron of Summit capes and Brotherhood mechanized forces. Though we have reports confirming numerous injuries to both capes and citizens, additional intervention from nearby EMS and law enforcement prevented even greater loss of life.”
[The broadcast cuts to grainy security footage of the attack. A hazy blur, presumed to be Mod, hurls a burst of dark power toward the line of Summit capes. In another angle, he cuts through biomechs with a slender axe. Several scenes appear disjointed and inconsistent, with grainy faces moving in and out of view, lending an odd quality to the footage.
[Bethany voices over the footage,] “As you can see from the footage, the attack was nothing short of devastating, and we’re being told that some footage is too graphic to show on broadcast. Thankfully, the capes involved survived, unlike Kairon, who lost his life in the battle outside of Gnosis.”
[More footage rolls of Summit capes and Brotherhood mechs protecting civilians. This footage is vastly cleaner compared to the footage of Mod.]
[Bethany’s voiceover continues,] “While some details are still being verified, the images of our heroes bravely shielding the civilians at Memorial Plaza remain etched into our memories. As for Mod and his followers, their motives remain elusive—though they left a painful reminder of the dangers lurking in our midst.”
[The scene returns to Bethany, who takes a deep breath before delivering the next update.]
“The Bastion Initiative continues… Summit and Brotherhood forces, utilizing new tracking methods, apprehended several more renegade villains. At this time, it is unknown whether these villains are connected to Emmett Laraway’s group. The capes were taken into custody from various locations across the eastern seaboard, marking another victory for the Summit and the Binary Brotherhood’s security initiative. Officials credit this swift response to improved intelligence and coordination between these two groups.
“The Bastion Initiative’s continued partnership between the Summit of Heroes and the Binary Brotherhood highlights a new era of cooperation and oversight, allowing our authorities to locate and contain dangerous individuals before they can cause further harm.
“This is Bethany Wonder with the Belport Bulletin. Remember, just like the Brotherhood, the Bulletin is on your side.”
