Unusual World

As the building burnt down it became a clear beacon in the night. It drew the gaze of others from nearby factories and pedestrians on the street. The raging flames made every passerby on the street wonder what happened as they drew closer to the steel mill.

Sirens blaired in the distance as they steadily neared the compound. It looked like mad men were behind the wheel as multiple DCPD cars swerved all over the street to get to the scene of the fire faster.

The purifiers tried to tend to the wounded at hand with little hope. Their were far to many people to save and the burning building falling down wasn't helping. As the DCPD came even closer along with the prying eyes of other people the purifiers really started to feel the heat on them.

Leopold who had been assigned to help guard the perimeter was almost speechless when he learned the cause of the whole situation. "I can't believe Cornel actually lost his mind and started killing everyone like that. It makes no sence Cornel is a good man with a heart of gold he would never do such a thing".

A short man who overheard what Leopold said, "whether you believe it or not doesn't change what happened".

Leopold looked over at the short man to see it was randolph who he was talking to. Randolph was second in control when Cornel was around now he is interim leader until someone else is appointed.

"Randolph, I know it will change nothing, but you knew Cornel better than me this mess must be a trick set up by some magi". Leopold uttered as spit escaped his mouth ever time he flapped his lips.

"It might be it also might not finding out the truth will have to wait until after we deal with this mess. The DCPD stationed around her are apart of the purifiers so we don't have to worry about them. I also already made people stay behind to keep people from wondering in. We just need to make everything look like a normal fire and hope nothing else happens. Until I can inform our cities representative of what happened".

Leopold wasn't a fan of having to wait for anything he wanted immediate action to be taken. For the sake his fallen friends especially to clear Cornel's good name. He was filled with sorrow and rage the two feeling made Leopold tence up and yell at the sky in his anger.

Leopold heaved heavily as the scene of the starry sky filled his eyes. The beautiful stars calmed him down a bit as they twinkled with an immaculant l.u.s.ter before hundreds of the stars in the sky turned deadly and came crashing down on the compound.

It happened so fast Leopold didn't even have time to switch to an afterthought before everything turned to white in his eyes. The falling stars drowned the purifiers in a sea of explosions that none had any hope of escaping from.

The hundreds of repetitive explosions severely damaged surrounding buildings, cars, and destroyed windows. Caused nearby civilians to cower in their home, on the streets, and at their work place in complete fear for their lives.

Robert who was at a nearby convenientce store was already surprised by the first explosion, but became completely godsmacked when the force from all the hundred other explosions pushed him back and forced the DCPD cars rushing to the compound to flip over.

When everything was over the people nearby still willing to poke their heads out bared witness to the aftermath of what happened. There was nothing left of the steel mill a molten crater replaced were it once stood.

As for the perpetrator behind such an unthinkable act she was leisurely sitting on top of a building a few miles away playing with her black tale as she looked up at the stars.

"Was that a bit overkill? No, those guys cause problems for the city anyway and steel is only useful to normal people. A new factory can be built their in less than a week so there's no loss.

Andrea briggs looked happy after what she had done, but she was filled with worry for what was to come as she layed down at the edge of the roof looking up at the stars.

"Its been 50 years already now were going back to war again I wonder who's going to win this time".

Flax street, Delmar City

The chilling air at night made Gresham and his colleagues shiver as they exited the car. Gresham still had an ice pack on his cheek, but threw it away because he needed both hands free just in case he was walking into a trap.

Gresham had trust that the magic items Cornel gave him would keep him from coming under someone elses influence, but Gresham knew all item had their limits and weren't all powerful. So, the chance was still their regardless of what he took.

Before heading inside Gresham checked his gun along with everyone else then proceeded towards the abandoned building. The building was a one story tall single family house it had all of its windows borded up and graffiti on the sides of the walls. The lawn looked like it hadn't been done in years as Gresham and his colleagues trudged through the tall grass that almost reached their knees.

Not knowing what was going to happen when he walked in Gresham wanted to play it safe.

"You two stay outside and circle around the building if we take to long or if you hear gun shot rush in and help. Peter your going in with me I need someone to watch my back".

No one refusaled what Gresham said they followed along and did as he said. The two men went in opposite directions and started to circle the building while Gresham and Peter went threw the front.

Peter looked like he was in his 30s he had an unkept beard a light tan and blue eyes. Unsure of what to think Peter said to Gresham. "Do you believe they actually made contact with a real god?".

Gresham with as much confidence as peter told him, "I don't know, but if its true then this could be the day our revolution finally begins".
