The moon shined brightly over the skylight of the thriving metropolis. The towering buildings inspired a sense of grandeur and valor to those who stared from afar. Though to those who lived within the confines of the city streets, there lied a much different story than what meets the eye.
“This feels off without dramatic narration.”
Through the bustling streets of Millennium cruised a futuristic, hot rod-red car, the dimly lit interior already hard to peer into through the tinted windshields. Though only one passenger sat aboard--a burly, crimson-haired man with distinctive sideburns that connected to the bottoms of his eyelids, wearing a white button-up shirt, a red tie and a black waistcoat with a matching pair of suit pants--a second voice could be heard emanating from the steering wheel.
“It’s best to keep focused while on a mission such as this.” The well-clad man, who was referred to as Klaus, said as he was hunched forwards and stared at the busy road ahead.
“... You never told me where we were headed, though. We’ve been circling the intersection for the past 20 minutes.” The disembodied voice snarkily responded.
“The sensors back at the headquarters picked up several new anomalies at the train station. Perhaps you should have payed attention to the briefing.” Klaus replied with little-to-no emotion, simply continuing to stare onwards.
“Wait, there was a briefing...?”
…
Klaus only sighed in response.
“Okay, okay, fine. Err… (quick, think of an ice-breaker…) So what are we gonna do when we get there…?”
“We’re going to determine whether or not these anomalies pose any threat.”
“Oh, right, sure…” The voice briefly paused, before inquiring again. “Wait, how can you even tell they’re different from the usual folk?”
“There’s something off about this particular energy reading. It’s much larger than usual… like something is pulling copious amounts of people in at once.” Klaus explained, showing slight exasperation at the fact that he had to explain this when it was outlined in the briefing not too long ago.
“Oh, right, like a magic movie MacGuffin. Man, I love alliterations. Whatever those are.” It mumbled talkatively, before shutting up in response to Klaus’s visible irritation.
You awoke on a rocky train speeding through a pitch-black tunnel. You don’t remember exactly how you wound up in a place like this, though judging by the unique individuals who occupied the seats around you, the assumption that you were far from home wasn’t too absurd. The locomotive itself soon exited the dark underpass and revealed a lively night sky, which was accompanied by dozens of fluorescent skyscrapers towering above you. The speeding bullet soon came to a grinding halt at the nearest train station, where the doors of your transport sprung open.
Naturally, you stepped out of the vehicle and out into the city, though it wasn’t long before you were greeted by a large and burly man with an underbite similar to that of a bulldog’s, who was standing near a fire-red, futuristic-looking offroader.
“Greetings. I am Klaus. Who are all of you?” The man asked in a deep yet calm voice and a neutral expression on his face.
