STORY 1

When unwashed clothes saved the world from tyranny

 

When Tailor, the trusted equipment handler of the Helsingham Superprotector Union (HeSU), carelessly hides a fragment of a shapeshifting alien in a mint tin, it ends up in the mouth of his friend Rudolf “Rude” Laine. Rude gains a peculiar ability: he can absorb the powers and skills of others through skin contact with their worn clothes.

 

At first, this gift helps him in a seemingly harmless search for Tailor’s lost medal. But together with laundry assistant Drag—better known as Miss Park—he is soon drawn into a chain of events that grows ever larger. Their journey places them at the heart of a crisis threatening HeSU and, through it, the Universal Superprotector Union (USU), the umbrella organization of the metants.

 

The trail leads them to divided Berlin, where they believe they are infiltrating a small neo-Nazi group. Instead, they stumble upon the mighty Fourth Reich (4R), a decades-old organization that has achieved the impossible: stealing the SafirSheriff, USU’s device for controlling metant powers.

 

The brilliance of the theft is overshadowed only by 4R’s plan to use the SafirSheriff for world domination. It will take Rude’s unique ability, Miss Park’s courage, and the reluctant alliance of Kurt to save the world from the Reich’s tyranny.

 

This story fuses and reimagines the superhero myth, the political thriller, and comedy, offering a grand adventure that begins in a laundry basement and descends into the vast hidden depths of East Berlin—before escaping westward in a way the guards at Checkpoint Charlie will never forget.

 

 

 

STORY 2

When the cats vanish, secrets awaken

 

Miss Park—also known as Drag—has saved enough money to buy her own car and invites her friend Rude to join her for the purchase. On their very first drive, Drag believes she spots Stig, the leader of 4R, and gives chase. She fails to catch him but is attacked by a strange figure wielding a net.

 

Later, Drag shows her new car to relatives, where a young cousin cries over a tragedy—the family’s pet cat has vanished. Soon it becomes clear that this is part of a larger mystery: street cats across the city have disappeared, and locals are increasingly worried about a growing pest problem. Miss Park promises to investigate.

 

Tailor is also aware of the issue, especially as a tabloid sensationally hints at his involvement. He once again enlists Drag and Rude for help. Drag begins her investigation by visiting two shamans, who reveal strange and unsettling insights.

 

Our heroes dive into the history and secrets of their hometown in search of the missing cats. Meanwhile, HeSU and its equipment handler Tailor face incomprehensible, even absurd attacks.

 

The whirlwind of events ultimately leads Drag and Rude to a hidden forest people and, through them, to an abandoned amusement park. In the final act—under the fading glow of fireworks and a fleeing spaceship—they uncover the truth behind the disappearance of the cats… a mystery rooted hundreds of years in the past.
