The usually crowded streets of the metropolitan city were utterly silent, whether it were due to the freezing cold the harsh winter offered or the rising tensions between the Pro-Heroes and Civilians, in regards to the Meta-Human situation.

Like many streets, the road was long and split into an intersection for safe passage in traffic.

Cars remained still, parked along the gutter. Most shrouded in a layer of frost, enough for it to begin piling along the wheels.

Although harsh, there was nothing out of the ordinary. Nothing to disturb the minimal peace the street had taken for itself.

That was...until a brief yet notable rumble rattled through the air. At a glance it was nothing; Upon closer inspection, the air seemed to wobble.

Passing a vibration through the frosty air.

The numerous vehicles grew a slight quiver, small, insignificant even. Merely a pulse that would pull one of the few who dared march through the cold night to glance but a single time.

For the shortest moment.

The peace didn't last...

A blind light flashed, vanishing before anyone could make sense of it. Only for it to return, the flashes continued, growing brighter and brighter.

Taking shape, molding it's energy into what seemed like a expanding tunnel. The source of cosmic energy, the dark matter surged, reaching a climactic point.

This occurring in a matter of an instant.

A sharp sound, akin to something tearing in the fabric of space, although in higher pitch rang out. The opening in Space-time pulsated, the energy fluctuated erratically.

People voiced their confusion and terror with brief instances of speech, they wanted to run but they stood still.

Unmoving... Mesmerized by the tunnel that lead to the Dimensional Barrier that separated all reality. The Force that causes all Kinetic Motion.

Not a second passed before a rumble scattered through the area, causing a symphony of chaos as bolts of energy sparked freely. All manners of colour, all packing enough energy to erase any living being not sharing a connection to it.

Pro-Heroes stepped forth, expecting something hazardous to step through. Perhaps a threat, a villain.

"Everyone! Get back!" A Woman yelled, readying her stance for the attack. The blonde hair pushed to the side of her face due to the metallic brace that resembled a claw covered the other half as she prepared a defense.

The remaining Pro-Heroes followed her lead. Standing at the ready, beside the No.10 Dragon Hero: Ryukyu.

Her small yet firm frame began to bulge, following a sudden growth that caused her state of being to morph into that resembling a Dragon with human similarities.

It didn't take long for the portal into the Speedforce to start to morph, almost as if it were breathing. Growing smaller before expanding once more.

Eventually shrinking down to a fine point, the heroes stood strong. Awaiting the field of energy to lash out.

Only for it to combust into an array of lightning and light that danced along the environment.

Within the center, was a single spark of Golden Yellow. It flickered, as if something was approaching the edge.

Time began to slow to a crawl as the laws of physics started to bend. Discarded snow melted, beginning to rise as of Gravity had shifted it's pull. The electricity along teh streets burned out, shutting off all devices.
