The debris from the meteor totally destroyed the City-Z, the devastation was overwhelming. The once vibrant city was now reduced to ruins, a stark reminder of the disaster that had nearly brought about its annihilation. Hiro couldn't help but wonder about the bald man who had flown earlier, shattering the meteor. He knew that such a powerful hero deserved admiration and recognition for his selfless act.
Among the rubble and chaos, Hiro noticed the devastation experienced by many people who had lost their homes and belongings. The gravity of the situation had not fully sunk in for some, and Hiro couldn't help but feel grateful that his run-down apartment was still standing.
Amidst the devastation, he spotted Butcher, Turtle Man, and Sea Gal, along with other heroes and police officers, guiding thousands of homeless people to evacuation centers.

He felt a sense of pride and admiration for him, knowing that Insecta-Scale had found his purpose in the organization dedicated to protecting the environment. Their shared values of making a positive impact on the world had brought them closer, and Hiro was grateful for the chance to contribute in his own way through his food cart.
