(Jester & Mek): The neighborhood is rather calm compared to the town. Several vehicles are parked alongside the road and in driveways. A family of four are seen loading essentials into the back of a red minivan. As they come upon a t-intersection a teal pickup truck is spotted lying on its side, a large hole in the front windshield.

If anyone is to look back now, they would see a few streaks of pink lightning shoot toward the sky. A large black ring forms and a wave of purple extends outward across the cloudy white sky. Another ring further away is created from another source of pink lightning and it too is transforming the troposphere into a vibrant shade of purple.

A blue circle forms inside the ring that is closer to the group and figures begin to slowly descend from it as they do the other ring.

"It appears that the sky is becoming purple and now has these portals forming, allowing more of these monsters to enter Lordoggi. Everyone who is still able-bodied is encouraged to get to safety as soon as possible.  May God have mercy on us all," says the voice on the radio.

(Addiction): The monsters laugh as Ed begs for them to stop, proceeding to further tear down the gate. As he asks the group what their plan is the man who talked to him earlier explains, "Just a block down from here is a building that will take us down to the sewers. We'll navigate them to get us as close as we can to Toplite."

He gestures to a slightly chubby man armed with a wooden broom handle and wearing a black snow cap, red sweater, black jeans, and white sneakers and says, "Francisco here was a smuggler back in the day. He knows the underground maze better than anyone.  He'll be our guide."

"Now let's get a move on for our lives!" the man declares as the five of them rush out to the loading dock and head out into the street.

"Come on come on stick together!" the man orders as he waves his claw hammer in the air.

They're all proceeding down the street when suddenly a scream is heard from them. Their rear member has been pinned by a muscular woman that has black striped markings on her face with tiger fur on her arms and legs, an orange striped feline tail, and a green furry bikini complete with a small bell and a pair of golden pauldrons that resemble tiger heads.

"Donnie!" another one of their group members shouts as he tries to save their captured ally only to be held back by the leader who orders, "Leave him Stu, leave him! He's a goner now!  Our own safety matters at this point!"

"He's my brother!" the man cries as he struggles to break free from the man's grip to rescue his sibling.

"Fuck that man! Leave me!" Donnie shouts to the group as the tiger woman tears off his white jacket and green t-shirt, exposing his chest to the frigid air.

"No!" the man screams as Francisco now joins in trying to keep him from attempting to be a hero.

Up above though, pink lightning shoots toward the sky and soon creates a massive black ring. An endless wave of purple emerges from the ring, changing the sky into its corresponding color. Then a blue circle forms within the ring and a stream of monsters descend from it toward the town square.

(RK): "Yeah," Cade mumbles as he starts up the engine and pulls out of the parking lot. In the back seat is a black and red tennis bag.

They both head down the road, passing by a parking garage packed with vehicles that were evidently trying to escape the scene, but became trapped and had their occupants removed judging from the large amount of broken windows and torn open tops.

"So glad that my friend didn't park it in there," Cade quipped as he drove along toward two paths.

"Two ways to get to the convention center from here. The expressway on the left is a direct shot and the neighborhood on the right which should lead us to a highway that will take us to where we need to go.  Both have their pros and cons.  As I said the expressway will take us straight there, but will likely have a load of abandoned vehicles.  The neighborhood is likely to be more clear, but navigating it will be the trick as it is large and built like a maze.  Plus I'm not too familiar with it since I rarely enter it," he explains.

His face becomes aghast as he looks up to the sky and gasps, "Holy shit!"

A large black ring has formed above the center of Swedgewick thanks in part to a bolt of purple lightning that was shooting up from the ground below. Purple extends forth from the ring, overtaking the white overcast sky and soon a blue circle appears inside the ring followed by an increasing number of monsters descending from it.

"Which way man, quick!" Cade asks Drake hurriedly.
