🔥**HERO CITY – Episode 5: “NEVER GIVE UP”**🔥

(The Battle of Striker vs Gouro)

🌪️ INTRO: The Rise of Gouro

The world trembled when a name returned from the shadows…

GOURO — once a student under the legendary master Bang… now turned villain.

He was quiet back then, but no one saw the rage buried deep in his heart. After mastering Bang’s technique, Gouro went further… unlocking a forbidden move:

🩸**"The Destroyer"** — an advanced form of Bang Style that compresses aura into explosive bursts that shatter bones on impact.

Now, he terrorized the city, flattening an entire hero unit in one night. Cameras caught him whispering:

“Peace is fake. Heroes are liars.”

⚾ Scene: Striker Walks Out

At Hero HQ, the news hit hard. Heroes were shaken.

Striker stood from his chair.

Grabs his metal bat 🦾

He began walking toward the exit.

From the corner, Ren saw him.

“Hey! Where the hell are you going?!”

Striker didn’t stop.

“I’m going to teach that idiot what real strength means.”

Ren frowned.

“You’re an idiot too, Striker!”

Striker just laughed, not even looking back.

“Maybe… but I’m his idiot.”

💀 Scene: Gouro Awaits

At an abandoned arena, Gouro stood shirtless, arms crossed, aura burning black and red. His presence alone made the ground crack.

Suddenly, footsteps echoed.

Striker walked in. Bat on shoulder. Eyes locked.

Gouro: “Didn’t expect you, Striker.”

Striker: “Didn’t expect you to fall so low.”

⚔️ FULL BATTLE: Striker vs. Gouro

⏱️ Fight Start!

Gouro moved first — his punch cracked the air — BOOM! — it smashed into Striker’s ribs, sending him flying through five walls.

Dust flew everywhere.

Striker coughed blood but grinned.

“You hit harder than before.”

Striker dashed forward, swinging his bat at Gouro’s legs, but Gouro sidestepped and kneed Striker in the chest, lifting him off the ground.

💥 Gouro: “You can't win this fight.”

Striker’s nose was bleeding, breathing heavy.

💥 The Turning Point

Gouro grabbed Striker by the throat, slammed him down with a “Destroyer Strike”.

The ground cracked. Striker wasn’t moving.

Gouro began to walk away...

But then… Striker’s hand twitched.

Beep... Beep... Beep...

His heart monitor glove reactivated.

Striker slowly stood.

“Even when you know you’ll lose... NEVER GIVE UP!!”

He screamed, eyes burning with determination.

His aura flared up — white and blue like a comet.

⚾ STRIKER’S FINAL COMBO!

Bat to the head – CRACK! 💥

Bat to the ribs – WHAM!

Gouro flies into the air

Striker leaps and smashes Gouro like a baseball into the wall – BOOOOOOOM!!!

Smoke filled the air.

Striker walked slowly toward Gouro’s crumpled body, bat raised…

But then… he paused.

“I don’t kill. That’s what makes me a hero.”

He dropped his bat and turned around.

😡 Gouro’s Rage

From the smoke — Gouro ROARED:

“YOU BASTARD!!!”

He launched a final rage punch at Striker’s back — the fist went THROUGH his side — blood splattered.

Striker dropped to his knees.

Heart slowing.

Beep… Beep… .............

Beep... Beep...

HE’S BACK.

Striker caught Gouro’s next kick midair. Gouro widened his eyes.

“Still… not done…”

But Gouro landed a final combo:

Punch to the gut

Uppercut to the chin

Knee to the ribs

Final SMASH into the wall

Striker collapsed face down… blood dripping… his metal bat laying beside him.

🎬 END SCENE

The camera pans to Ren watching the fight footage on a screen. His hands tremble, gripping his bat.

“Striker…”

The last shot is Striker’s hand twitching again…

💥End of Episode 5: “Never Give Up”💥

Want Episode 6 to focus on Ren swearing revenge and going to train harder, maybe seeking out Bang, or even Gouro hunting Deku next? We could also flashback to Gouro’s past with Bang. What are you feeling? 😈🔥
