The ceiling splits open.
Wind roars through the room.
Reality tears wider.
Shadows spill out like smoke.
Jonas stares upward.
"Okay we officially broke the universe."
Aria grabs Kael's arm.
"What do we do?"
Kael watches the widening crack.
"We run."
Future Kael shakes his head.
"That won't work."
The creature lifts its massive arm.
"The convergence has begun."
Aria whispers.
"…convergence?"
Lena answers quietly.
"All timelines collapsing."
Elias looks terrified.
"That shouldn't happen yet."
Jonas mutters.
"Well it is."
The shadows begin forming shapes.
People.
Places.
Moments from different realities.
Aria suddenly sees something inside the fracture.
A city.
Burning.
She gasps.
"…what is that?"
Future Kael answers.
"The future."
Aria's voice trembles.
"Yours?"
He shakes his head.
"Ours."
The burning city flickers.
Then disappears.
The crack expands further.
Orion watches in shock.
"That's not possible."
Kael glares at him.
"You pushed the system too far."
Orion grips the device tighter.
"I can still control it."
The creature's voice echoes.
"No."
The device suddenly sparks violently.
Orion drops it.
Energy explodes across the floor.
The cracks double in size.
Jonas whispers.
"…uh guys."
"Something huge is coming."
Inside the fracture—
Something enormous moves.
Slow.
Ancient.
Watching them.
And it's getting closer.
