YouTube videos are often embedded in my novel, best to read on a computer.
"This world has changed... It was around a year ago when Earth's Radiance revealed themselves to be the protector of the people," a narrator spoke in a monotone voice.
A flat-screen TV is showing a live broadcast. Showing a group of people with mixed ethnicity and genders wearing the same jacket that reads "Earth's Radiance" on a stage with a banner in the back with the Earth's Radiance logo.
A person steps onto a podium giving a speech while the camera pans towards the people with the same jacket on stage, United World Leaders, and the crowd that gathers.
New York, 2030
"We are Earth's Radiance. A secret organization funded by wealthy upper-class people all around the world to protect our people. From extraterrestrial beings, another World War, and extinction level threats and doing it while staying incognito." The camera pans towards the crowd, confused by what they just heard.
The murmur was loud, but amongst them, a louder voice a journalist could be heard asking, "So Aliens exist? A third World War almost happened? The planet's population was about to be wiped out? Is that right?" the man on the podium replied, "That is correct. Matter of fact, we have proof of these fatal close calls."
The man lifts his left wrist and presses his watch, and a giant hologram screen is created and everyone can see it. It contains a list of specific events that are unexplained or some that are covered up.
Examples:
- Spring-heeled Jack (1800s)-A mysterious figure with supernatural abilities who lived for decades, causing terror and chaos. Earth's Radiance searched for him and fought him for nearly 70+ years before finally defeating him in 1904.
- The Tunguska Event (1908)-A massive explosion flattened 2,150 kmยฒ of Siberian forest. Earth's Radiance was fighting a global terrorist group we called "Monstra". The leader of the group creates a giant meteor and one of Earth's Radiance's strongest personnel stops it creating a meteor air burst.
- The Lead Masks Case (1966)-The case involves a series of events that led to the death of two electronics technicians. These two men are a part of a cult in Brazil. They sacrifice their members to commune with the supernatural through rituals. We stopped the cult and captured all of them.
The crowd's murmur, with many questions bombarding the man. The man continued.
"Many people areย lividย by the speech. Some believed them, some didn't believe them. Until the man continued his speech." The narrator said.
"Inย one year, we will face an event that threatens not just nations, but the very future of humanity. Earth's Radiance stands against the impossible, butย weย are not doing this alone. With the full support of the United World, world governments, and international organizations, we will rise to meet this challenge."
After the man's speech, the crowd continued to murmur, even louder this time.
"Some people believed it, some people didn't, and some still questioned it. When I was watching it on my family's restaurant TV, I sure as hell believed it because I knew that the world wasย offย somehow." The United World Leaders representative stepped up to the podium.
"Today, we stand at a defining moment in human history-a moment once confined to speculation, myth, and uncertainty. But the truth isย undeniable: extraordinary individuals walk among us, possessing abilities that defy conventional understanding. And now, as we face an unprecedented challenge, their existence is not just a marvel, but aย necessityย for the survival of our world." With calmness and firmness.
"The crowd was even louder." The narrator said.
Many people yelled, but all of their yells combined and intertwined with one another hard to decipher, not even one. But amidst the chaos, someone else takes over the podium. He was wearing a black and dark blue suit with the logo of Earth's Radiance on the left chest area.
"The founder of Earth's Radiance, Jameson Zachary, stepped up and gave a speech."
Jameson Zachary is a Caucasian male in his early 40s, wears round silver glasses, his hair is styled like a gentleman, and he has an immaculate mustache. He began his speech.
"My name is James Doyle, and I am the founder of Earth's Radiance." He speaks calmly, and with confidence, he also speaks in a Southern accent.
"This catastrophe is not avoidable..." Slight pause. The crowds started murmuring, but Jameson continued.
"My late grandfather, before he passed away, made his last prophecy about the world in the next 1000 years. He was shocked at what he saw in his vision. He said, and I quote.,"The earth will face a great catastrophe in a year from now." That was the last thing he said to me and my family before he died."
Jameson maintains his way of speaking as he continues with his speech. After that, the scenery changed to the City of New York.
New York, Current Day
A few superheroes from Earth's Radiance New York Division are on duty. One of them is a masked female superhero that can control wind flying above New York City, she's a Caucasian woman, and her appearance is fit, her mask is designed like skydiving goggles her lower face is exposed, and her hair color is white and gray, she also wearing a bodysuit, and colors mostly gray and white with Aqua blue gradient on her sides.
She wears a specialized watch with a unique design on her left wrist. She also wears tight grey knuckle gloves with Earth's Radiance logo on both of them. When she's still flying, she puts her hand a little in front of her face, her eyes catch a glance at her watch, and flies even faster, many people see her from below and cheer for her, and one of them shouts her name, despite her not hearing them.
"WIND BREAKER YEAH!" a citizen shouts.
๐๐๐ซ๐จ: ๐๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐ซ๐๐๐ค๐๐ซ

While the people cheered for her, an overweight African-American male is grabbed by a muscular person in black clothing and wears a motorbike helmet. The African-American person was held at gunpoint by the side of his head.
"OH-! Shit!" He yells, but he lowers his voice in fear.
Everyone around them started backing away from the two of them.
"NOBODY MOVE OR I WILL SHOOT THIS FAT FUCK!" the helmet guy shouts.
"Ey, man, we can talk this out. What do you want? My phone? Wallet?" Shakingly, but still an understandable sentence.
"All of it, slowly reach through your bag and give 'em to me," he answers in a slightly nervous but intimidating tone.
"Aight, I'll do that okay?" He replied.
While the hostage is unzipping his bag from behind them. Someone is phasing from the other side of the alleyway and has a chromatic aberration effect (red, yellow, and green). Phased again through a fence, and kicked the helmet guy on the right side of the head, making the helmet crack. The helmet individual was knocked out cold, and the gun was dropped on the ground. The hostage also dropped to the ground not harmed but in shock at what happened, and the surrounding people were also shocked. As soon as he looked up, his savior reached out for him. He grabs the hand and shouts.
"PHAZER! OH SHIT YOU SAVE ME DAWG!" Relieved and hyped up.
The hostage and Phazer dapped up and hugged as the crowd cheered for him. Phazer is an unmasked African-American superhero with a fit build and black hair, has hazel eyes, he sometimes changes his hairstyle but for now, his hairstyle is faded, he wears a tracksuit-like top and bottom, with a dark cyan blue gradient, and he also wears the same unique watch that Wind Breaker use on his left wrist.
After the helmet individual is arrested, Phazer activates his phasing ability to teleport away from the scene.

The hostage then creates a YouTube short with his phone and records himself with the front camera and behind him is the helmet guy unmasked and taken to a police car. The hostage says.
"Phazer just saved me y'all, be thankful for him and the Earth's Radiance for their service!"
He uploaded it with tags such as #phazer #phaseking #myhero #nyc #blm
The video gained attraction and one comment got pinned that said: "That's our Phase King Martin" by a verified username JovieVibez. We then get a look at who is behind the account.
He's scrolling through an off-brand Instagram app on his phone while giggling at himself. The phone screen shows a post that a K-Pop girl group named "PoppingMelodies" is going on another world tour. But his smile quickly fades into an expression of sadness.
"Excuse me! Jovie! Are you Jovie?" she asks excitedly.
His expression then changes again to a friendly smile. He replied.
"That's me!" in a cheerful tone.
Jovie is an unmasked Asian hero, with well-maintained black Korean bowl-cut hair, dark brown eyes, and a slim and fit build. He wears a black shirt with white abstract shapes. Over it, a grey light bomber jacket, and also wears grey sweatpants. He has the same unique watch on his left as the other superheroes, but on his right, he has a bracelet with a built-in screen on it.

"OH MY GOD! CAN I GET A PICTURE?" she asks excitedly in a louder voice.
They took a selfie, and the narrator continued.
"Now the Earth's Radiance is active in most countries around the globe. Including my home country. It's pretty cool."
As the narrator keeps going with their narration, somewhere in Midtown Manhattan a restaurant called Hakka Eats with customers inside. Outside the front of the building, a man sits at a table, typing on his laptop.
The person hunches over to write the next part of his story. He has a short black mess trimmed cut with a side part haircut and dark brown eyes. He wears a dark red shirt with the Hakka Eats logo on his right chest and black joggers with reflective strips along the sides.
"This is the POV of a Random Bystander, written by Alex Najwan..." he types.
He stops for a bit and then slouches.

"Man, this is ass... Why would I write this shit?" he thinks in his head.
As he contemplates writing, he feels his phone vibrate in his pocket. He pulls it out and glances at it. He sighs, packs up his things, and walks inside the building through the front door.
The inside of the restaurant is designed with fancy lantern lights, deep brown colored walls, beautiful paintings behind the counter, and Chinese themes tables and chairs. Few people can be seen eating and enjoying their meals. Alex grabs what seems to be a food order in a plastic bag. He goes outside and walks toward a nearby parking garage, then a few minutes later he comes out riding a Vespa while wearing a red and black jacket with the Hakka Eats logo on the back, and a dark red-colored helmet.
He rides through Manhattan, passing many locations, including Freedom Plaza, Bryant Park, Broadway, and the behind of MTA Rail Control Center. Finally, he reaches his destination somewhere near DeWitt Clinton Park.
"Where the fuck is this guy?" in his head.
Alex rides slowly near the sidewalk looking for someone who ordered the food. He finally found him. It's Jovie, he's waving both his hands. Alex grunts but still doesn't show any expression, but he's embarrassed by it. He approaches Jovie and stops.
"Don't need to wave both hands dude," he asks in a flat and unchanging tone and a non-formal, simplifiedย Indonesianย language.
"What why?" Jovie replied in the same way as well, while grinning.
"Attention from people here," he answers while people look in their direction.
"Okay then, here, keep the change!ย Bye!" he said while a black SUV pulled up behind the Vespa. Jovie quickly dashed towards the rear passenger door, opened and slammed the door while he rolled up the window.
"This motherfucker, why did he get out of the car for?" in his head and takes a deep breath in and out of his nose. The people who were looking at them now walked past him and looked at him. Some whisper to one another and some don't care and walk away. Alex starts his Vespa without caring for them and rides back to Hakka Eats.
As he walks towards the front doors, a sudden loud crash startled him. He heard from his left, everyone inside the building got scared, some standing up to see what was happening outside the building...
It was a sight of a destroyed bus shelter and the ground beneath it cracks with a blurred figure standing up from crouching. The figure wears a red and brown bronze colored Gi, and it is covered in armored leggings, faulds, and pauldrons. It has a long black colored ponytail, blue eyes, and tan skin. But something is weird. They looked like a CG anime character brought to life. It looks around as if searching for something or someone. Its entire form flickers and distorts like a broken TV screen as if it were a hologram for a split second.
Alex keeps his eyes on it while looking for the front doors' handles. He found them and went inside the building.
"EVERYBODY GO BEHIND THE COUNTER DO NOT GO OUTSIDE FOR YOUR SAFETY! BERLIN ACTIVATE BARRICADES!" Alex yells as loud as he can.
A man in a janitor's outfit quickly finds a button pad beneath the main counter. The windows were quickly barricaded with an automatic system and even the back of the building was barricaded as well. A loud thud and crack that followed shook everyone behind the counter. Alex thought to himself in confusion and fear as everybody in the restaurant goes behind the counter. "Why and how is she here?!"
The sight of the street is half-ruined by the fight between Phaser and the hologram. The sounds of thuds and cracks continue. The hologram performs a 'Knife Hand Strike' that unleashes 3 vertical white lines in Phaser's direction that make a straight line crack, he phases through it and attempts to attack the hologram with a left jab right at the solar plexus, but it dodges at the last second to its right, but the punch still connects hitting somewhere in its ribs instead. Phaser phases away from it, he looks at the surrounding area and realizes he needs to lead the hologram somewhere else with fewer people. The hologram lunges at him, and he dodges away, making another crack in the road from its attack.
He phases multiple times to a nearby parking building, and the hologram is right behind him. It charges towards Phaser but suddenly stops halfway. He's confused, but this is a perfect opportunity to land a hit. He phases forward and does a roundhouse kick to its head. The hologram is knocked back from that but quickly recovers. It crouches and does a reverse roundhouse kick, creating a tornado in a 5-meter radius that flings objects upwards, including Phaser 4 stories high.
"AGH!"
He got damage from that, but luckily the parking building is 5 stories high and within Phaser's reach. He phases mid-air to save himself. He lands, rolls, and stops himself. He sits, then lifts his left watch to his face and contacts backup.
"I need backup now! This is too much for me-" He got interrupted by the hologram, it jumps 5 stories high easily and lunges towards Phaser with its arms opened. He barely dodges and tries to stand up. The hologram dodges to its left. He had enough of this and is preparing to do an attack that the people called.
Omnidirectional Phase Attack
Phaser phases to who knows where and was gone for 1 second, but phases again behind the hologram, punching it and kicking it 13 times in just 3 seconds. He phases away from the hologram and is out of breath, sweating, and exhausted. The hologram was not hurt whatsoever and just stood there with its hands together and got back right to its fighting stance.
"Fuck..." Phaser exhaled.
The hologram lunges forward again with its arms open as it gets too close to him. Wind Breaker gets in between them, and instead, it grabs her. The hologram grapples her, flings her into the air, performs 9 barrages of punches, and as it is about to slam her into the ground, Wind Breaker creates a gale of wind with her hand that launches the hologram 20 meters into the other side of the building. She has a crack in her sky goggles but pays it no mind and flies towards where the hologram lands. It just laid on the ground, but it looks battered and the left of its pauldrons is on the floor beside it. Suddenly it flickers, making Wind Breaker flinch. It dissipates into nothing, making her uneasy.
A few minutes passed, police officers surveying the ruins of the battle and questioning witnesses, passersby looking at the scene, a handful of journalists questioning officers as well, and Earth's Radiance Agents were on standby with machine guns. Phaser, still out of breath, tries to explain what happened to the officers and Wind Breaker.
"It can create a tornado... Just by doing a reverse... roundhouse kick..." he says, out of breath.
"Sorry that I didn't make it in time." Wind Breaker said in regret...
"You kiddin' me...? You were just a... few seconds late...!" he exhaled with a weak chuckle. "I'm glad tho."
As the two were talking, Alex's eyes were wide open witnessing the destroyed scene. An officer came by to check on him.
"Hey, you alright buddy? If you're hurt, you can ask the EMTs for medical attention." The officer asks.
"It was a character... A fictional character." He said, still looking at the cracks.
