The mayor and the mayor's assistant were eating out at a fancy restaurant.

"He didn't actually cut her in half."

"No, no. I was there. She was cut in half. There's two women."

"Yeah, I saw it. It's just a trick."

"Mr. Mayor, it's me!" Neon said.

"Who the hell is this?"

"It's me! It's Neon!"

There were windows.

*pushes window*

"He thinks that's a sliding door."

"It's Neon. Hi!"

"He thinks they're all doors. That's sad. He's a scientist.."

"Mr. Mayor! You have to evacuate the city!"

"Never say that word!"

"You have to shut down the power to the whole city! Don't you understand? He's using the power to energize them!"

"You know what, as you can see, the mayor is very busy." The assistant said.

*hears rumbling*

"Oh, no. It's happening- Can you hear it? It's..."

"..."

A dumpster.

"Oh, um... Okay, that's a dumpster. But the figures are still arriving. Please, Mr. Mayor, you have to believe me. You're the only one that can do something. Don't... Please don't be like the mayor in Jaws."

"Never compare me to the Jaws mayor. Never!"

The security guard started pulling Neon back.

"Please, you have to get everyone out. You're endangering everyone in the city!"

"That took way too long." The mayor said.

"What are you doing? My... Get off of me!" Neon said.

"Mr. Mayor, you have to listen to me! Get out of the city! Get out of the city! They're coming! Don't you understand? These figures kill people!"

Neon was dragged out of the restaurant.

Meanwhile back at the Hôtel..

"50 cents a T-shirt."

"My plan is to wear a new one every day, and then just throw 'em out and then start over every month, yeah."

There was two security guards that were at the machine that Tempus built.

"Whoa. Hey. Man, nobody ordered a Clark Kent strippergram."

"Clark Kent? Oh, because of the glasses and the handsomeness?"

"Hehe, hehe..."

"Hehehehe..."

"OW-"

"GAH-"

Possessed Jacob, or just Tempus, punched the security guards and knocked them out.

"I should have worked out more when I was alive."

"Oh, I definitely should have worked out more."

Oh, the chaos unleashed. Machines powered up, barriers shattered, and souls and figures flooded into the world. Tempus smiled, reveling in the mayhem. Laughter echoed through the chaos, growing louder and more maniacal. HAHAHAHAH!

...

Neon was running around in the streets.

"You have to get out of the city! Please! Get out! Oh, no. It's happening-"
