"We opened the door to the shadows...
The man sat alone, back slumped against a wall as he stared down at the pistol in his hand, unloading and reloading it in silence. Over and over again. How long had he been here, ignoring the sounds of life around him and the chatter and racket from the communication device on the ground along with the discarded necklace? Days? Weeks? Months?
It didn't really matter. None of it did anymore.
Load. Unload. Reload.
"You look like crap."
The man looked up, staring upwards at his only companion for what felt like an eternity. Himself... only different, like seeing a photo negative version. The colors were all wrong and there were a few things off.
It had no eyes. He'd found that strange once before the feeling had been bled out of him.
Load. Unload.
It was this thing that had shown him the truth. It had started with whispers in his mind when he was alone and had grown from there, appearing in shadows, taking the place of his reflection and finally standing right there beside him exposing the plain, hopeless reality of where he'd found himself.
An ugly grin split the negative version's face.
"So, what's the hold up, jackass? You know what you have to do now."
Load.
Yeah, he did.
-------------------
In the early morning, it happened without warning. A shudder ran through the entire city and for just a moment it was almost as if reality itself... bent for a moment, warping out of shape before snapping out of place and one of the buildings of Genessia's skyline vanished into a rising cloud of smoke and dust.
The thing rose up out of the cloud, standing over the buildings around it. Misshapen, grotesque, it could only be called humanoid in the most generous of terms. Its body was colored in splotches of red and black, its limbs twisted with the right arm many times larger than the spindly left and it stood on legs that should have been bent and twisted too awkwardly to support it at all.
The head swiveled from side to side on a too-long twiglike neck, wide, blanket white eyes that seemed painted on searched the city and a toothless mouth opened wide in a low, groaning howl that rumbled over the city.
The creature’s body convulsed and with a chorus of sickening splits and cracks its body bristled with weapons, and they all fired as one, shearing the top floors off of the next several blocks and covering the rest of the town in burning debris.
Through the city, every communicator screamed out a deafening alert, which was followed by the voice of the AI.
“CORRUPTED ELEMENTS DETECTED. PLEASE ASSIST IN PURGING IN ORDER TO ENSURE THE CONTINUED SURVIVAL OF THE CITY AND ITS INHABITANTS”

Night passed. So did the morning. And Raye needed a shower.
It would be NICE, she thought to herself while gritting her teeth, if she'd been given a better fix on what time this evil was going to arrive. It could be an entire week from now, and Raye wasn't the patient type.
Reluctantly, she decided she would take just a quick shower, enough to rinse herself off and wash her face.
Naturally, that would be the time she felt those evil energies snap into focus, forming a concentrated entity that soon began to scatter corruption left and right. She practically tripped out of the shower, yanking on a sweater and a pair of jeans. The warning was blaring from her radio. As she reached for it, she heard a voice ring as clear as a bell in her head.
Run, child!
Raye froze. What in the world was that...?
No time to dwell on it now! She lifted her pen above her head. Definitely time for Sailor Mars! "Mars Power--!"

Even worse, the last thing she'd be able to see through her window was its head turning in the direction of her building....

For a few seconds, Raye blacked out.
When she came back to herself, her head was swimming, and she ached all over. The dust was thick, and she coughed, wincing. Her radio was on the floor. Her entire apartment was ruined. Gasping for breath, she strained to reach her radio, fingertips just barely skimming the edge. She had to get out of here before that thing arrived. If it did, she knew she was finished.
