The dark, empty air rushed past Landon Hale’s face. He was falling. He was dropping straight down through the center of the broken Aether Dominion skyscraper in Milwaukee.

Thick, white snowflakes mixed with thousands of pieces of shattered, sparkling glass. The broken glass looked like deadly diamonds falling in the dark.

The freezing winter wind roared violently in his ears. It was deafening. Right next to Landon, General Kade Rauth was falling too.

But General Rauth did not look scared. The

    Sera knelt right next to her, holding a small radio antenna up to get a better signal. "Jin, what is happening to the walls?!" Marcus roared, gripping his heavy automatic shotgun. Jin stared at her glowing computer screen. Her eyes went completely wide in horror. "General Rauth is turning the entire fortress into a massive magical bomb!" Jin screamed. "He is pumping dead-god magic into the steel walls! When the magic reaches one hundred percent, the walls will explode! The blast will vaporize everything within a hundred miles! We will all be turned to dust!" The crowd of civilians gasped in pure terror. People began to cry. Some turned around, looking back toward the snowy highway, wanting to run away. "We have to run!" a frightened man yelled. "If we run now, we might escape the explosion!" "No!" Kade roared at the top of his lungs. Kade turned around and faced the massive crowd. The scarred fighter looked absolutely furious. His eyes burned with fierce loyalty. "Landon Hale

    The massive, two-hundred-foot-tall black steel doors slammed completely shut. BOOM! The sound was incredibly loud. It sounded like the heavy lid of a giant coffin slamming down. The heavy metal locks clicked into place with a terrifying, final clack sound.Landon Hale and Claire Arden were trapped inside Bastion. They were completely cut off from the freezing, snowy world outside. They were cut off from their friends. They were cut off from the massive civilian army they had built. Landon stood in the absolute, pitch-black darkness. He was breathing heavily. His massive chest rose and fell. His body was completely exhausted. His Kinetic Echo magic was entirely drained. He was just a normal, tired, broken man. But he did not feel alone. He felt a small, warm hand gently grab his thick fingers in the dark. "I am right here, Landon," Claire whispered softly. Her voice was steady, brave, and full of deep love. Landon squeezed her hand tightly. "I know, Claire. Stay close to me." S

    Landon reached out his large, glowing white hands. He gently placed his palms directly onto the man's chest, right over the glowing purple relic core buried in his skin. Landon pushed a tiny, careful vibration of pure white magic into the stone. The purple stone shattered harmlessly into gray dust. The man gasped loudly. The black color instantly vanished from his eyes. The purple veins faded away. He fell to his knees in the snow, completely free from Rauth's mind control. "Thank you," the man wept, looking up at Landon's glowing face. "Go to my team. They will keep you safe," Landon whispered kindly. Landon turned and walked deeper into the crowd. He touched a crying mother. Her purple stone turned to dust. She was free. He touched a terrified teenager. He was free. Landon moved beautifully through the crowd. He was a beacon of pure, healing light. He used his incredible magic not to destroy, but to cure. Every single time he shattered a purple stone, it drained a massive a

    "I am fine," Landon grunted, wiping sweat from his eyes. "Keep moving. We are almost at the gates." The massive civilian army cheered as the giant cannons exploded. They raised their weapons and marched faster. The fear was gone. They felt completely invincible. They marched until they were standing exactly one hundred yards away from the towering, pitch-black gates of Bastion. The massive black wall loomed over them. The toxic purple magic hummed loudly in their ears. The shadow of the giant Deep One monster shifted in the sky above the fortress. Landon stood at the front of the army. He stared at the giant black doors. "General Rauth!" Landon roared. His deep voice echoed against the dark steel walls. "Your outer cities are liberated! Your armies are broken! Your supply lines are ashes! Come out and face me, you coward!" For a long, agonizing minute, there was absolute, perfect silence. The wind howled. The snow fell. And then, a loud, heavy, terrifying sound echoed from deep

    "I see it," Claire said instantly. Her brilliant, tactical mind never missed a single detail. She pointed her gloved finger directly at the front of the massive black wall. "Right there in the center," Claire directed them. "There is a seam in the metal. It is a massive set of double doors." Jin typed on her keyboard, zooming her computer camera in on the spot Claire pointed at. "Claire is right," Jin announced. "There is a massive front gate. But it is locked tight with a dozen magical deadbolts. We cannot open it from the outside." Landon let go of Claire's hand. He took a heavy step forward in the snow. "Then we will have to make them open it for us," Landon growled deeply. Landon turned around to face the massive, thousands-strong army of innocent civilians. The people looked up at him. They were cold, tired, and scared. But they trusted him completely. They waited for his command. Landon closed his eyes for a brief second. He opened the invisible, magical doorway inside

    The freezing winter wind blew across the white, snowy hills of Illinois. The dark, terrible night was finally over. The morning sun was trying to rise in the east. But the sun could not break through the thick, swirling purple clouds that covered the sky. The air was incredibly cold. It stung the skin and made every breath look like a thick cloud of white smoke. Landon Hale stood at the top of a high, snowy ridge. He was breathing heavily. His broad, muscular chest rose and fell. His thick winter coat was torn and burned from a hundred different battles. His dark hair blew wildly in the freezing wind. Landon looked behind him. He was not alone. He was not just standing with his small, brave Vanguard team anymore. Behind Landon, an absolutely massive army was marching through the deep snow. There were thousands and thousands of people. They were not professional soldiers. They were normal, everyday people. There were farmers from the burned villages. There were office workers fro
