It is Lesca whose head snaps to her right. Standing perfectly still on the roof of a nearby building—the one closest to the sprawling Savanna on the East side of Titan City—is Maven. She is animating her hands through the air with fluid, precise grace. A second later, the sky above the falling meteors distorts. … Read more

“Fuck you all. Domain of the Shepherd’s Wisdom!” Intellectual roars. His Heat activates with a violent hum. The gravitational force within a ten-meter circular radius begins twisting and molting—a sickening, fluctuating tide that delivers bone-crushing pressure one second and absolute weightlessness the next. The maroon-blooded skeletons caught in the radius are instantly pulverized back into … Read more

It is a bright, sunny morning in Titan City. The reconstruction of the 1st Block cafe—the exact establishment blown apart by Taglia‘s wind cutters —has finally been completed. Because he was instrumental in the rebuilding and rescue efforts, Jarrod was personally invited as a guest of honor for its grand reopening. Leaving the penthouse, Jarrod … Read more

How much time has actually passed, no one can truly tell. Around that localized water hole, the terrain now looks like a violent impact crater. Massive, jagged chunks of earth have been violently ripped from the ground, pointing up toward the sky like broken teeth. Every trace of vibrant green has been entirely wiped out … Read more

Taglia and Makisa are in the western borders of Royal City. This jungle closely resembles an Amazonian tropical rainforest—dense, oppressive groves and towering, ancient trees with vines so massive they look like standalone trunks.

Taglia and Makisa reach the Royal City palace after crossing the dense jungle, the new black and gold scabbard of the katana in her left hand replacing her broken nodachi. From the looks of it, this is an ancestral mansion sitting in the middle of the city. There are no acres of sweeping grasslands surrounding … Read more

It is a bright, sunny morning over Titan City. On the 2nd Block medical facility grounds, Jarrod is recovering with light running and stretching. Since Friling has done his job for what he could, Jarrod can move again, but he needs to take things slowly, hence these recovery exercises. Lesca walks in, saying, “Do you … Read more

It is dark. Slowly, Leon‘s eyes open. He looks around with still-foggy eyes and sees he is lying on a bed made of wood. He gets up on his elbows and looks around; it is a room made purely of wood and stone. A voice rings out, “So you are up?” Leon‘s eyes snap toward … Read more

As the sun is about to take its leave and the night is about to engulf the sky, Chaos walks into what looks like an abandoned bar. It is abandoned not because it is broken or deserted; it is abandoned because it feels like no civilian would ever go in there. There is a heavy … Read more
