As the rays of the sun rose above Millennium City bathing it in golden warmth, a sapphire hued time-space rift opened up in the sky high above the Renaissance Centre. The crack in reality briefly spurted small amounts of dimensional energies into the sky which quickly dissipated. A figure flew out of the rift surrounded by a storm of magical energy, the small sapphire wisps around the figure calmed down revealing none other than CharmCaster.

Vitality had always enjoyed the free feeling of flying and was soaring through the sky on a morning patrol of Millennium City and had so far covered Downtown and the City Centre, he was currently flying around the Renaissance Centre as Defender flew in, briefly greeting Vitality as he flew past, clad in his powered armour suit. As Vitality turned his attention back to his patrol he noticed a vehicle with a figure piloting it hovering in the sky in the distance, upon closer inspection he recognized the vehicle as belonging to Crescentwave.

“Morning Lara, I thought you were covering Westside with Cavalier. What brings you up here?” – Vitality

“Hello David, I was patrolling but then I sensed a powerful magical disturbance around here and I had to have a look.” – Crescentwave

“Hmm, I see. That doesn’t sound too good, keep the comms channel open. Let’s fly a little higher and see if we can find anything.” – Vitality

Vitality climbed higher in the sky, surveying the airspace for anything out of the ordinary whilst Crescentwave flew high above the cloudless blue sky. She quickly spotted a large sapphire rift in the sky which was slowly being sealed by a woman, surrounded by magical wisps of the same color.

“Vit…I’ve spotted something. Contact Cavalier, we may have a problem.” – Crescentwave

A few minutes later, Vitality hovered alongside Crescentwave , whilst Cavalier’s Grav Cycle hovered nearby. Vitality flew cautiously towards the woman in the sky, who seemed oblivious to their presence as she focused on sealing the rift. Cavalier’s weapons were trained on the woman just in case.

“Hello? Who are you and what are you doing here?” – Vitality

The woman finished sealing the rift, with a low chanting of magical words and turned around. Her brilliantly blue eyes flashed as she observed the DE:LTA members, the sapphire wisps around her seemed to dissipate as she muttered a quick foreign world before she smiled at them.

“Greetings! I am CharmCaster of Nol, Mystos Guardian, Summerstone Sisterhood member and Liberator. Tis a pleasure to meet you in the flesh.” – CharmCaster

“Nice to meet you CharmCaster. We are part of DELTA, I’m Vitality and these are two of my team mates, Crescentwave and Cavalier.”

“Sup. Meet us in the flesh? You heard about us before or something? Wait…Summerstone Sisterhood? You know Techy and Mentella?” – Cavalier

“Indeed I do and yes I have heard much about DELTA.” – CharmCaster

“Ahem...Nothing but good things I hope?” – Vitality

“Of course, I was unable to aid with the situation regarding Ultimate, but I was informed of DELTA’s heroics and might when defeating him.” – CharmCaster

“Well, that’s nice. Mind telling us what the situation was with that rift? Whoever opened it was using some powerful magic.” – Crescentwave

“Ah, yes. I merely opened this portal to travel back to this world, from the dimension I was in. I had recently terminated some business within that dimension and wished to return to this one. As a My-” – CharmCaster

CharmCaster seemed to stop mid-sentence, her features twisted showing some level of pain. Vitality flew a little closer, concern showing on his face at CharmCaster’s sudden and clear change in emotional state.

“What’s wrong?” – Vitality

“Forgive me, I-I am somewhat attuned to the feelings of others, I am sensing extreme despair and anger, from afar. By the Mystos it is strong…I must seek out the source of this feeling, tis something I cannot ignore.” – CharmCaster

CharmCaster began heading down in rapid descent towards Westside, a trail of sapphire magic shimmering in the sky in her wake. Vitality, Crescentwave and Cavalier quickly followed her as she continued flying. CharmCaster stopped above an alley way, she pointed down towards a few bordered up apartments, where a few gang members were running out from down the alley to a fight.

“Territorial idiots…Red Banner and Cobra Lords are at it again...” – Cavalier

“Was this the source of the emotions you were picking up?” – Vitality

CharmCaster shook her head as she lowered herself down to the ground, sapphire wisps swirling around her before vanishing slowly. She pointed towards a nearby dumpster, as they moved closer, CharmCaster sighed heavily as the emotions were relayed again, intensifying with each passing second.

“Nay, these were not the source. I cannot –see- this entity, they are somewhat shielded, but I know they are in here somewhere.” – CharmCaster

Cavalier peered inside the dumpster quickly, his mask thankfully stopping the low level stench from reaching his nose.

A nearby Cobra Lord mobster called over to the superheroes as Cavalier was still peering inside the dumpster;

“Hey, you there! Capes! I wouldn’t do dat if I was you. That dumpster right there is haunted. Throws out whateva garbage you try ta put in it. Mo looked in der last time and *something* cut him.” – Cobra Lord

The Cobra Lord quickly ran off to join the fight after talking to them.

“Uh…thanks for the heads up?” - Crescentwave

“I can’t see anything in this thing either and I’ve never been more grateful for this mask…” – Cavalier

Vitality looked towards CharmCaster who was still looking remarkably unhappy and somewhat confused; he turned his attention to the dumpster and carefully tore through the metal, exposing the interior of the dumpster. A small lavender colored alien rolled out as the dumpster was opened up, it looked up, pale red tears streaked down its small face, it scrambled to its feet and backed away from the heroes, hand outstretched and crying:

“Kr’anri ssba ytsa ayack!” – Kr’anri

“Uh..what?” – Cavalier

CharmCaster slowly approached Kr’anri, friendliness and understanding conveyed on her face. Quickly an overwhelmingly powerful calming effect seemed to invade the immediate area as CharmCaster’s eyes began to glow softly. Cavalier and Crescentwave seemed to relax a little, as did Vitality. Kr’anri’s breathing and high emotional state seemed to slow down and mellow out as the enchantment washed over her.

“Hmm…why do I feel so…calm right now?” - Vitality

“I am using a quelling enchantment; it will be much easier to assist with all of our emotions stabilized. It is clear from her speech that she does not understand and nor can we, I wish to correct that, to establish some form of common ground. You would all do well to step into the enchantment I am about to cast.” - CharmCaster

CharmCaster stretched out her hands and the ground around herself and Kr’anri, who now were in close proximity to one another, began to glow with sapphire rune symbols slowly forming into a circle. Cavalier was the first to step into the circle of magic, a brief wave of magic washed over him;

“Hello, is this working?” – Cavalier

“Kr’anri can understand! How is that? Kr’anri say you not Prosythian, more hooman..” – Kr’anri CharmCaster smiled as Kr’anri started projecting excitement and happiness. Vitality and Crescentwave stepped into the circle.

“You keep saying Kr’anri. Who is Kr’anri?” – Crescentwave

“Kr’anri is Kr’anri!” – Kr’anri

“You are Kr’anri?” – Vitality

The small lavender alien nodded happily, Cavalier knelt down and Kr’anri and began talking to her as she drew in the ground with her sharp claws.

“How long does this magic circle last?” – Vitality

“For as long as I will it to, however I do not recommend staying her too long, enough mobsters may present a minor issue.” – CharmCaster Vitality nodded and turned to Kr’anri kneeling down slightly and he smiled at her, gaining her attention as she wiped away the pale red tear staining on her cheeks.

“Hello Kr’anri, I’m Vitality. I’d like to ask you a few questions. First one being, how long were you on Earth for?” - Vitality

“Bad bug flying rock crash when it was cold. Kr’anri escape bad bug flying rock! Kr’anri is free! Kr’anri hide when cold went away. Kr’anri is discovered when cold comes back!” – Kr’anri

“She’s referring to the seasons, if I’m correct then she may have been here since last year…” – Crescentwave

“Hmm, it’s entirely possible, but what is bad bug?” – Cavalier

“Bad bug steal Kr’anri from Prosyth, bad bug has bad boom sticks. Stole Kr’anri during family hunt, Kr’anri misses family…Kr’anri is very hungry.” – Kr’anri

CharmCaster looked around as Cobra Lords began to congregate at the end of the alley way, as if formulating a plan of sorts. CharmCaster narrowed her eyes as she saw them inching closer.

“We should vacate the immediate area; I believe our presence in this area will soon cause unnecessary strife. I will transport us somewhere safer.” – CharmCaster

Kr’anri’s face seemed to show confusion, as CharmCaster began gathering energy and the surrounding area seemed to subtly glow sapphire. At that moment, the Cobra Lords began running towards them throwing knives and firing bullets, Kr’anri screamed and hid behind Cavalier. Crescentwave stepped forward and pulled up a sheet of water which absorbed the impacts from the weapons, protecting them as CharmCaster gathered her energy.

“You may want to hurry up, this spectacle will soon attract –more- attention.” - Vitality

“Isth’rae Transuda Dimenzoz!” – CharmCaster

As the words left her mouth a thick beam of magical energy crashed down from the sky enveloping them all transporting them away from the scene, much to the confusion of the Cobra Lords.

The group arrived on the roof of a building which seemed to be somewhere in Downtown.
