Alex knew he needed to do something. He was a hero, for God's sake! He could stop this madness! All he had to do was step forward and...

Wait. No. That would be a poor idea. He's on the edge of a floating palace and cannot fly.

He sat down at the edge and looked at the destruction below. It was a shame that he couldn't do anything. But then he remembered even if he could, it wouldn't matter. The Corona royals probably had, like, ten people capable of solving the problem all on their own. Then they had a hundred more capable of outclassing anything Alex could do, and a thousand who could perform at a level equal to his... hell, they probably had some of those Majestic guys with Alex's abilities on their payroll. Alex realized it wasn't a big deal, that he wasn't down there helping. No one would appreciate it. Hell, no one even needed it.

Then again, it was getting boring hanging around a floating palace with nothing to do. Some might say "oh, there's plenty to do even though it's abandoned, there are training dummies to hit," but that wasn't true, because Alex was unarmed, not known for his ability to fight unarmed, and not interested in the slightest in whacking a bunch of inanimate objects. So he stood up and started searching the palace for a way to get down. Since he couldn't fly.
