6 years have passed since the death of Nix. On most mornings the city would be calm as the sun raised, crime had gone down since the man formally known as Vexetta cleaned up the streets from thieves to rapists. The city was at a level of peace, until the ground shook from artillery and thousands of soldiers swept the streets from anyone they saw as a liable threat with gunfire.
A woman with her child began running down a narrow alleyway to avoid gunfire, one of the soldiers found her running and shot in her direction hitting her in the leg. She begged for them to not kill her but they didn't seem to listen and were about to pull the trigger.

Suddenly, something opened up on the wall beside the soldier, he looked and saw a hand coming out of it and pulling him through, screams bellowed throughout the alleyway as the same soldier plummeted to the hard surface bouncing on impact, he grunted in pain as the woman watched on in confusion.
The soldier trying to get up from his fall gets crushed by a man Newlatten knew very well:

The Voidwalker, Logan Marshall

Logan picked up the soldier and held him against the wall, a stone blue arm holding the soldier there in place.

Logan: Who are you! Where did you come from!?
The man laughed as he spoke with an accent.
Soldier: You cannot expect to take on all of us, your city is ours.

He laughed in Logan's face, in retaliation he swiftly elbowed him crushing his throat, he looks at the uniform he was wearing, a Tagline saying "Stadtjäger" and a Patch on his left shoulder, It was the German Coat Of Arms.
He dropped the soldier and went over to the lady and using the void healed the woman's leg and told her to run, the woman got up with her child thanking him as they ran to safety.

Logan: Phase you there?
Phase: Yeah I'm here! The city is overrun by tanks and soldiers where the fuck did these guys come from?!
Logan: I think they're German. They have a Coat Of Arms and a Tagline that says.. I don't know how to say it.
Phase: Nevermind that now we'll figure it out later.. Logan we need to evacuate. They're tearing down every building and killing anyone on sight.
Logan: I'm not leaving!
Phase: We don't have a choice! I know a place we can go but if we don't go now me and others will die! Including Maia!
Logan: Maia.. fuck!

Logan ran down the alleyway placing a portal underneath his feet falling through it and landing at the hideout where Maia last was, out comes a little boy yelling "Uncle Logan" the child ran up to him with a massive smile across his face and hugged his leg. The child's name was Connor; Maia's son.

Logan: Hey there Connor! Do you know where mummy is?

Connor points over to a room as Logan picks him up and walks over to the room, Maia was packing to leave, grabbing clothes and weaponry.

Maia: How bad is it out there?
Logan: Worse than I thought, These guys are from Germany.
Maia: Germany? What??
Logan: I'm just as confused as you are.
Connor: Why is their big booms everywhere?
Maia: Don't worry sweetie, we are going to get away from the big booms very soon.
Logan: Where are you going?
Maia: Phase says he knows a place to go, his home town.
Logan: And that is where exactly?
Maia: A small place up north, 5 hour drive from here.

He sighed, he never wanted to leave this place, but because everyone's safety was at risk.

Logan: Alright. I'll make a massive distraction hopefully they all focus on me.
Maia: What? No your coming with us.
Logan: I can't you've got the car you can get outta here fast I'll drive them south while you head north. Meet up with Phase and I'll see you again soon.
Maia: You better come back to us.
Logan: I promised I would.
