TRISH TAKANAWA (in studio, firm and deliberate):
“Good evening. I’m Trish Takanawa, Senior Meta-Human Affairs Correspondent. Tonight, we continue our profile of Kid Extra II, the young legacy hero carrying the mantle of his beloved great-grandfather, the original Kid Extra, member of the legendary Golden Age supergroup, The Fourth Estate. Earlier, we reported on his confrontation with Skull enforcers Maxilla and Mandible. But our interview also turned to another encounter—one with the Skull lieutenant known only as Misery, a confrontation that escalated into a hostage crisis.”

 

[Cut to interview footage: Kid Extra II, leaning forward now, tone measured but intense.]

 

TRISH TAKANAWA: “Kid Extra, you’ve spoken about ambushes and raids, but the public was especially shaken by reports of Misery holding innocent people captive. Can you tell us what happened?”

KID EXTRA II: ‘Misery isn’t like Maxilla and Mandible. She doesn’t fight to win—she fights to break people. When I got word she had hostages, I knew hesitation wasn’t an option. The Skulls use fear like a weapon, and those lives were leverage. She wanted me off-balance, desperate. She didn’t get it.’

TRISH TAKANAWA: “What was it like going toe-to-toe with her?”

KID EXTRA II: ‘She’s dangerous. Her presence alone—it’s suffocating. She whispers, taunts, tries to crawl inside your head. Every strike she threw felt like it was aimed at my will as much as my body. But I kept focused on the hostages. If you let villains like her dictate the fight, you lose before the first punch lands.’

TRISH TAKANAWA: “And the hostages—how did you manage to get them out safely?”

KID EXTRA II: ‘Timing. I broke through her line, got between her and the captives, and didn’t move until they were clear. She tried to stop me, but the legacy I carry gave me strength enough to stand my ground. Those people walked away alive, and that’s what matters most.’

 

[Cut back to Trish in studio, her expression sharpened by gravity.]

“Authorities confirm that all hostages were rescued unharmed. Misery, however, escaped, vowing retribution against Kid Extra II. For a young hero stepping into a fallen mentor’s shoes, the battles are already perilous, but the victories—measured in lives saved—speak louder than words.
