>Hovering in the skies above the city, a pair of figures stand, seemingly on nothingness - gazing down at the metropolitan expanse below them. One of the figures, a woman dressed in ornate robes and wraps, looks down at her hand. As she caresses her palm softly, she then whispers something, barely audible to her partner.

"You're attempting the ritual here, Concordia? Why?"

>The woman, Concordia, then looks up at the man hovering before her - her eyes narrowing as she gives an amused expression on her face.

"Why else? The energy requirements for the spell are immense. If I am to free myself from this wretched entity, I will need a large enough energy source to supplement my magic. Besides…"

>Looking back down at the large expanse of the city below, she then says:

"Who better to aid in my ascension than the largest concentrated population of Meta-Humans in this country?"

>Time: 12:35 PM

>As Concordia and Ba'al continue hovering in the air, they begin moving along with the growth of the supernatural vegetation that is rapidly growing throughout Downtown Sanctuary City. As cars, busses and other vehicles are quickly overrun by the supernatural vines and moss - the two Sorcerers look over their work in satisfaction.

"Once enough Meta-Humans are absorbed into the mass, the transmogrification spell can catabolize their essence. It will provide us with the power we need to undo the binding spell that he placed on us."

>Concordia speaks, as Ba'al looks on aimlessly. Seeing countless Meta-Human civilians being swallowed up and consumed by the magic vegetation. Absent-mindedly, he says:

"Will this be enough, Concordia? We are lacking the time and the luxury of second chances. If we do not act soon, our master will discover our plot."

>Concordia sighs as she waves a dismissive hand at her partner, stating:

"All that matters is that we have achieved our goal. The power to free ourselves from his grasp…."

>As the magical purifier droplets fall to the ground, they splash against the magical vegetation and moss - causing it to rapidly wither and disintegrate. Soon, all of the Meta-Human civilians trapped by the magical plants and vines are soon freed - as the overcast weather still pours down from above.

"Would you mind telling me why you decided to harvest the lives of humans here? Or do I have to force an answer out of the two of you?"

>Concordia immediately casts an incantation, creating a powerful dimensional barrier between herself and Mosaic - as Ba'al is left out of the spell's protection.

"Concordia you witch! I knew I shouldn't have trusted you!"

>Concordia gives a soft laugh as she says:

"Apologies, my friend. But I must ensure that at least one of us is freed from the master's grasp."

>Before Ba'al can make a move to attack Concordia, Mosaic performs a hand gesture to cast a spell. The resulting spell is a series of bright mist particles, which quickly swirl around Ba'al - causing him to pass out soon after.

"By all means, assume hostility with my actions, insofar as you have no other choice. But you do have a choice, no?"

>Smiling, Concordia begins hovering over towards Mosaic, attempting to work her charm.

"I seek only freedom from the oppressive entity that constrains me. In order to save my life from an untimely death, I chose to make a pact with an otherworldly God. A being of immense power."

"I already know what that feels like. Much like you, I had a choice - and I almost made the wrong choice."

>Looking down at his gloved hand, he continues speaking:

"I almost took the life of another person out of anger - and it was only by divine intervention that he survived, and became an even greater monster because of it."

>Concordia considers the words for a moment, before she then slowly hovers closer to Mosaic. As she does this, she begins placing her hands on his arm - looking at him through his mask.

"What are you going to do with them?"

>Doctor then looks at Mosaic, stating:

"We'll send them to the Bazaar's representative tribunal. Though they're more of a provisional mage government that handles trade affairs, they have been known to handle attempted incursions on other dimensions."

>Gesturing to the Babylon Disc on the table, Doctor then says:

"They'll likely be tried and sentenced - stripped of their magical casting abilities with artifact implants."

"More Champion clones? I thought they were all destroyed?"

"Much sleeker and thinner frame. Clear and coherent sentences too. Huh, you must be the upgraded model."

>Not saying a word, the Centurion clone then fires off bursts of energy from his eyes - at a speed comparable to that of his armored opponents. As that catches them by surprise - they dodge out of the way, while Hildebrandt then mutters to himself.

"I need to get out of here!"

>As he quickly turns and begins to run out of the base - the Centurion clone rushes forward, beginning to punch at Phantom and Mirage.

"That's the best you can do? Oh right, you don't know that the armor helps against that."

"Pieces of shit-"

"Now!"

"You're sure that the signal came from here?"

>Looking around at the vast expanse of geographical fissures before them, Mechanicus then turns back as he continues speaking:

"Because if so, I'm not sure why I didn't detect this sooner."

>Kneeling down beside a large geological formation on the Jovian moon, Mosaic continues examining the soil with his Quantum Tuner device. The advanced multi-tool device beeps twice as it produces a holographic image in front of him.

"Positive. The signal was encrypted with qubits - and the Capsule only picked it up after I was finishing up some tuning with the transceiver nodes the other day. Once I did that, the TTC did the rest - decryption and all."

>Standing back up - Mosaic looks at the holographic projection; a large monolithic structure of unknown origin is present in the ground, deep beneath Io.

"I saw the footage of the man in that black and red armor. Was that Damian?"

Having been more prepared for the collision, the woman strikes first, charging towards the creature again and grabbing onto it, using the leverage to get an angle to bite into it, her teeth piercing through flesh and sinew.

>With a screech of pain, the creature grabs onto the woman and pulls her off, its flesh tearing off in the process of her being removed. Having firmly taken hold of her, the creature swings her around, letting go at the last moment and sending her flying through a wall.

>Off to the side, the small woman brings her hammer back down, taking a more defensive stance as the shadows surge towards her. Keeping both hands on her hammer, she carefully bides her time, waiting until the shadow is just in range of the hammer, and brings it down suddenly, still somehow managing to hit the creature and shocking it once again.

>Howling, the creature retreats, reforming into its solid form once again. Looking over the small woman, the creature looks her over with its blank eyes, evaluating her with an inhuman intelligence. Coming to a conclusion of some kind, the creature “dives” down, merging in with the shadows of the room, and starts silently making its way to the woman. . .

>Shaking herself off from the throw, the shark woman looks over at the brute creature, then stomps on the ground, causing both the room she’s in and the creature itself to shake.

>As the creature regains its balance, it turns to find the woman is no longer there, having fallen through the floor, and it begins to walk over to the hole created by her descent.

>Just before it reaches the hole, the woman bursts through from below it, grabbing it by the legs and pulling it halfway through the floor.

"Gyah! What the fuck…."

>Looking around, the man first notices the sterile aesthetic of a laboratory room that he finds himself stuck in. Confused, he then looks to the side - finding his arms and legs bound in energy fields. The fields, likely electromagnetic in nature, are firmly binding the metal in his armor to the table that he's stretched across.

>Then, the man hears a voice trailing off in the distance. A mechanical, seemingly dead voice - lacking in a traditional human cadence or tone. The voice gets louder and more clear as heavy metallic footsteps start to occur.

"I loved learning about the stories you humans would tell yourselves. The little fables and aesops you constructed for yourselves - to more properly facilitate a clear and concise understanding of the world around you."

>The figure, revealed to be Eidolus, then walks into the large laboratory room. Admiring the complex machinery surrounding him, he then turns to look at his test specimen - bound to the table.

"Maddie-"

>As the sun rises, a lone woman walks along a path, the path itself somehow looking like its part of the landscape, and carefully looks over all of the flora and fauna nearby. Eventually, she stops as the path opens out into a "courtyard" of sorts, coming across a white dove as she does.

"Oh. . . you've finally arrived. . ."

"You know, there was quiet a lot of discussion about who you were going to end up with - if anyone."

>In the main Wild West area, Madeleine returns to the spot where she left Orion, only to find him not there. Looking from side to side, she puts a hand on her hip.

"Not like him to just disappear like that. . ."

>Madeleine closes her eyes and starts to reach out, only to be interrupted as someone taps her on the shoulder.

"Everything alright, miss?"

>Madeleine opens her eyes again, being greeted by a androgynous looking person, their clothing looking at home at another section of the park. On their back, an acoustic guitar is hitched.

"O-oh, yes, I'm just wondering where my partner is, he was here a moment ago when I left, but he's gone now."
