======================== INTRODUCTION ========================
The world is changing. Alternate planes scattered all throughout time and space are suddenly converging into one...and it isn’t a pretty sight.
It felt like a regular old day to me. Wake up, hear the screams of some helpless pedestrian in the streets, zap some guys, celebrate with a beer or two.
But around noon, things started to feel...off.
It felt like some kinda psychological thriller movie...it was too surreal to feel, well, real, I guess you could say.
My home city was...gone?
And I don’t mean it just up and vanished over night. No, everything was pretty much the way it was, but nobody called it “Empire City” anymore. Just...New York City. That’s it. And it wasn’t just a few people in on some kinda joke or some new government decree that renamed the whole place...the citizens legitimately didn’t remember anything about an “Empire City.”
What the the the the the?
And so I zoomed around New York tryna figure out what the the the the the had happened. It wasn’t until around noon that I finally caught on to something. Some random people started to turn transparent before completely vanishing - and nobody said anything.
This continued through the day, speeding up as the hours ticked by. By the evening, though, people started to do the exact opposite and pop in. I’d look down to the pavement and see a faint outline of a man walking, and it quickly faded into a complete person - he didn’t have a clue what happened.
I still didn’t understand it - the the the the, I barely do now. People randomly disappearing, and others randomly appearing...it was way too weird.
But the weirdest - and worst - part...
Other superpowered freaks started popping up, and not all of ‘em looked too friendly.
I did manage to meet up with some of the “good” ones, I guess, and we came up with some kinda theory. It seemed that different versions of the Earth were converging into one at different times...but no one really knew why. It was ridiculously creepy, but there wasn’t a whole lotta time to focus on that when some big-こし mutant creatures decided to tear up the place, now that they were given a fresh new canvas to work from.
I’m teaming up with these new guys, and we’re even looking for more that possibly could come to this world as well. Got my hands full with all these new bad guys to take down, but I guess it’s worth the practice. We’ve gotta figure out what the the the the the is going on, and how to stop it.
Just hope it’s not too late.
