WESTSIDE IN FLAMES!

- Demonic gates provide backdrop for clash of vigilantes and heroes

MILLENNIUM CITY. It all started with a series of unexplained cataclysmic magic portals opening across town last night. As the MCPD's finest scrambled to cope with demonic possessions and zombie attacks, the vigilante known as Edge launched a vicious raid on Westside Jail, inciting a riot within the ranks of the caged criminals within.

Meanwhile, Samuel Wincot, AKA Chainblade - who was somehow curiously still awaiting his transfer to Knight City - rallied his thugs and took control of the prison and the surrounding areas. A showdown was all but inevitable.

While the details are still unclear, and the resulting chaos still only settling down, with the MCPD clamping down across the city, the initial estimates regarding fatalities, casualties and collateral damages are extremely high.

Luckily for the law-abiding citizens of Millennium City, Cosmea - superheroine extraordinaire, sporting a a new look, no less! - and her sassy super-ally Aedowin - angel-wings and all! - stepped in to contain the scourge of these vile vigilantes and their demonic backers.

Aided by the MCPD's Major Crimes Unit and a mysterious, black-and-blue-clad caped crime fighter - who still remains unidentified - they pushed back the evil and secured the area, establishing a beachhead of hope against the the demon darkness and the craven criminals.

As of this writing, several high profile criminals, "villains" if you will - including Edge and Chainblade - remain at large. The MCPD has urged the citizens of Westside to remain indoors for the duration of this crisis. But with heroes such as Aedowin and Cosmea on our side, what do we have to fear from the dark? / Scott McReady
