"Cement! What happened? Are they survivors?" Construction asked. He was still carrying several tons of materials with one hand. He noticed Cement's face, as if he seen a ghost. "What's wrong?"

Cement looked at the photo Anna had given him. How he worded his sentence came off weird and did not help the situation. He wasn't a heroes that supposed to fight, only to build things. Yet, the look at that woman's face left an image on his mind. "It's nothing. That lady, it seems that she could not find her child anywhere."

He turns to Construction, face-to-face and pressed him with a question. "I told her a lie... I told her that her child might've been already transfer to the city."

"Yikes. Well, if we seen any survivors or, bodies, we can tell her." Construction said. "That's the photo of the child, right?"

"Yeah..." Cement handed Construction the photo.

"Hmm, well. We will have to see if we find something. I'm sure you did not lead the woman's feelings along for the worst. Things happen." Construction rubbed his chin. "I'm pretty sure he might already in Hero City City."

Cement's face is still riddled with doubts and insecurity. 

"At any rate, let's clean this mess up." Construction said as he picked up more stuff.

"Right..." Cement followed suit.
 
"Man, this looks terrible." Tomas commented as he was looking down at what was left of the Port town. He hovered in mid air to scan his eyes around the area first for where to start. He noticed two people below, one of them carrying a large amount of debris. "Hm. That must be the other heroes they mentioned." He thought before descending.

He landed near the two with a friendly grin. "Construction and Cement? I'm Dragonfly. Headquarter sent me over to lend you two a hand."
 
"Oh? Looks like a hero finally accepted the mission." Construction said. "Nice to meet ya, Dragonfly. We already started moving things around."

"The more help we get, the faster we can get this job done." Cement said. He was still troubled about that mother. "If you find someone, like a small boy, tell us."
 
Tomas nodded in agreement to Cement's words. "I will tell you if I see anyone." He said while raising his forearm to read the statistics on the screen he installed on the forearm armor. He had about 90% of power left. "Should be a bit over four hours before I have to recharge. Better move fast I suppose."

He pressed a few buttons, setting his strength enhancement to 10x, then began picking up some large debris to help with the cleaning up.

"Where would you prefer I put these?" He asked, in case there was already a place to gather all the rubble.
 
"There's a pile over there for all the debris. Stick'em there." Construction pointed towards his left. 

"With Dragonfly here, how long would this take us to clean and rebuild this place?" Cement asked.

"Probably not long. We still need to get those people out of there to finished the job though." Construction wondered. "So once were are 100% sure that there no more survivors, or recovered dead bodies, we'll call the Heroes Organization."
 
"Alright." He put all the things he had gathered onto the pile.

"I've never seen this kind of destruction. What kind of monster did this?" He wondered as he was continuing the clearing, now moving a further away from the other two.

While he felt bad about not being able to help when it happened, he knew he was no match for someone who could cause that much destruction to a city. The damages he could see indicated extreme heat, and brute force so powerful he doubted his maximum strength level could compare.  "... So this is what a Dragon-Level threat is like..."
 
"According to the Heroes Organization, it was an mysterious being, outside form our world." Construction said. "It doesn't even radiated the same energy as we do." 

"Outside of our world? Why the heck did it attack the Port?" Cement said. "All this senseless destruction."

"Beats me." Construction placed more rubble on the pile. "Whatever it was, we even have bigger problems. Did you get the text?"

"What text?" Cement asked.

"It seems that there's something bigger than a Dragon-Level threat coming. So we heroes best be prepared..." Construction said.
 
"They said that it should be coming in within a few months." Construction said. "As for where? I have no idea." 

"Did they say what kind of monster we're dealing with here?" Cement asked.

"Supposedly an alien mage from some planet. That's all the information they informed us about. So it's clear that they are keeping critical information under wraps." Construction placed more debris into the pile before turning to the others. "Imagine something happening to Port Graham, but on a global scale. A frightening thought, I made say."
 
"Fightening indeed." Tomas agreed as he put more on the pile. "All the reason for us to prepare as much as we could. Hmm if it's a mage I'm sure the Sisterhood and Brotherhood have been notified also."
