On that moonless night in Academy City, a shroud of darkness enveloped the metropolis, deepening the mystery that often lingered in its futuristic streets. The flickering lights of street lamps and neon signs danced eerily, casting haunting shadows upon the city's landscape. High above, on a rooftop that overlooked the urban sprawl, a peculiar and enigmatic phenomenon began to take shape.

A rift tore open in the fabric of reality. From its ethereal depths emerged an enigmatic entity, descending gracefully upon the rooftop floor.

The entity stood unknowingly on the corner of the rooftop, its form obscured by a shifting and dynamic mosaic pattern. The image of its existence remained elusive, refusing to conform to the tangible world. It was as if the being itself straddled the line between reality and the ethereal, existing on a plane of existence beyond human comprehension.

Surrounded by the mesmerizing mosaic of radiant hues, the entity gazed out across the sprawling cityscape of Academy City. The entity's luminous gaze swept over the city, it seemed to discern more than just the physical structures before it. 

The entity's attention was drawn to the sky, about five hundred meters away, where an imposing airship hovered against the backdrop of the gloomy heavens

The entity's attention was drawn to the sky, about five hundred meters away, where an imposing airship hovered against the backdrop of the gloomy heavens. The massive vessel possessed an intriguing elliptical shape that gracefully tapered towards the back, adorned with tails for stability. Underneath, a sturdy gondola and two powerful propellers hinted at its advanced engineering, while an additional rudder graced its top, providing precise control over its course. The airship's surface also featured a large screen, where the latest news unfolded before the entity's eyes.

The headline boldly proclaimed: "Russian Forces Launch Invasion."

The voice of the announcer reverberated with genuine concern as distressing footage filled the screen, displaying scenes of once-peaceful villages now caught in the crosshairs of conflict amidst snowy plains.

In a voice barely audible, the entity murmured its thoughts to the empty air surrounding it.

"It seems what was once thought of only in fiction is now happening in reality in this world."

 The entity stated in the empty air in an indistinguishable voice.

The airship continued its course through the sky, the news playing in the background as the entity remained engrossed in its observation. However, amidst the ongoing events, something else caught the entity's attention, prompting it to turn and face the source of the new presence.
