The media buzzed with excitement, scribbling down notes and snapping more pictures. Another reporter stepped forward, this time addressing Itachi. "Aegis, what's it like working with a top-ranked hero like Star?"

Itachi, his expression calm, simply responded, "It's an honor. She is strong, and I've learned a lot in a short time."

The questions continued to pile up, the media intrigued by the stoic and composed demeanor of the mysterious sidekick. "Aegis, what's your strategy for taking down Venombane? Do you feel prepared for such a dangerous villain?" another asked.

Itachi met the question with the same steady calm. "Our goal is to stop Venombane and protect the people. I'm prepared, but I can't do it alone. That's why we work as a team."

The media began to get more persistent, crowding closer with their mics and cameras. "Aegis, can you tell us about your quirk? How do you plan to handle the toxic gases?"

Without missing a beat, Itachi responded, "We're here to capture the villain. Our focus is on completing that task."

His concise, straightforward answer caused the reporters to pause. Star let out a small laugh, stepping forward with a wave of her hand. "Alright, folks, that's enough for now. We've got work to do. Excuse us."

With that, she led the way through the crowd, her cape fluttering in the breeze as they moved toward their destination. The reporters were left buzzing with curiosity, their questions lingering in the air as Star and Itachi made their exit.

As they walked away from the media frenzy, Star glanced over at Itachi, still smirking. "You're pretty good at handling the press. Direct and no-nonsense. I like it."

Itachi simply nodded, his mind already focused on the mission ahead.

As Star finished her phone call, she turned to Itachi. "We've got Venombane's last known location—[xx] Road. Let's move."

Itachi nodded silently, following her as they exited the airport. Without hesitation, they broke into a run, weaving through the city streets. Their speed was unmatched, closing the distance quickly. They finally arrived at an old, abandoned building, its windows cracked and the walls covered in graffiti. The air felt stale, and there was an eerie silence hanging in the air.

Itachi scanned the area, eyes narrowing as he sensed something off. "I think he's inside," he whispered.

Star nodded, her movements calculated and quiet as she approached the door. Slowly, they entered, their footsteps almost soundless. Inside, the room was mostly empty—except for rows of discarded water bottles scattered across the floor.

Star bent down, picking up one of the bottles. "Why so many empty bottles?" she wondered aloud. "Did he drink all this?"

Itachi's eyes swept across the room, his mind piecing the situation together. "Maybe... he uses water to create venom. It could be the source of his power."

Star looked at the bottles again, considering Itachi's theory. "You might be right," she agreed.

Suddenly, static crackled through her earpiece. "Venombane spotted in the main city! He's throwing venom at civilians!"

Star's eyes widened. "Let's go!"

They sprinted towards the main city, urgency propelling them forward. As they arrived, they saw the villain—a man with a bulky metal barrel strapped to his back, spewing venomous clouds into the air.

Star narrowed her eyes. "You were right. That barrel is probably filled with water he's converting into venom."

Venombane's eyes widened in terror as he saw Star and Itachi approaching. He knew who Star was—her reputation as the strongest woman was well known. Panic set in as he flailed, desperately throwing venomous clouds in their direction. But Star, with her incredible agility, dodged every attack effortlessly, closing the distance between them with ease.

As she reached him, she extended her hand and commanded, "Touch air!" In an instant, an invisible wall of compressed air formed around Venombane, trapping him inside. The thick air barrier sealed him off, preventing any more venom from escaping.

Itachi moved swiftly through the crowd, his sharp eyes taking in the damage and the injured civilians scattered around the area. Some were collapsed on the ground, their skin corroded and burned from the villain's toxic attacks. Without hesitation, he rushed to the closest victim—a man with deep corrosive burns covering his arms and chest. The pain in the man's eyes was unbearable to witness, but Itachi remained focused. Quickly lifting him, he glanced around and spotted the nearest hospital. With speed and precision, he transported the man to safety, repeating this for five more victims, despite the growing weight of the situation.

After delivering the last of the injured to the hospital, Itachi sighed, feeling the weight of his exhaustion. Just as he was about to catch his breath, his gaze fell upon a child lying motionless in the street. The boy's mother knelt beside him, desperately shaking his small body with trembling hands, tears streaming down her face.

"Please, help him!" she cried out, her voice breaking with desperation. Itachi's eyes widened slightly as he rushed over. The sight of her corroded legs only fueled his urgency.

Kneeling down, Itachi quickly checked the boy's pulse, only to find none. A chill ran through him, but his expression remained calm. He immediately began chest compressions, his movements firm and controlled.

The mother sobbed beside him, helpless, clutching her own damaged legs while watching in fear. Itachi's focus never wavered. Each compression was measured and determined, but the boy remained unresponsive. Just then, Star arrived and saw the scene unfold. Her eyes widened in surprise when she realized what Itachi was doing.

"Itachi!" she called out, understanding the gravity of the situation. She wasted no time, lifting both the boy and the mother with ease as she rushed them to the hospital. Itachi didn't stop the chest compressions, even while moving the child onto a stretcher. His resolve was unwavering.

Minutes passed, feeling like hours, until suddenly, the child gasped for air. Itachi paused as the boy's small chest began to rise and fall. He exhaled, finally allowing himself to relax, as the room filled with the sound of relieved sobbing.
