After traveling numerous blocks to the epicenter of the convergence in the middle of Sherman Square, Lyger finally saw what was responsible for the influx of demons pouring into our world. The massive portal was an impressive sight. Equally impressive, were those who were trying to stop it. 

Scattered around the vicinity of the portal, were a ragtag group of super humans who were trying to close the monstrous gateway while keeping the demon hordes from tearing them limb from limb. Lyger recognized some of them, he had had a run in with War-Pulse once before, and he had heard of Iron Knight, and although he had left the area to chase after a giant flying snake, Lyger was well aware of Icon’s exploits in the city. However, the two women and the other man in black, he didn’t know who they were.

It didn’t matter who they were. At the moment, they all had the same goal, to shut the portal down. 

As Lyger approached the others, he found himself staring at the open portal, and the numerous creatures that were still emerging from it in terrible awe. It seemed like for ever demon that they put down, 3 more came through the portal. He didn’t know if they would actually be able to put an end to the attack. There were just too many of them, and the others seemed to be wearing down. 

The young woman in the makeshift costume was being overrun by the demons, and the man in black looked to have seen better days as he faced off against a large demon that had had seemingly overpowered him. 

I send bolt after bolt of electricity at the monsters, but they just keep coming, and I’m getting weaker. My knees feel like they are going to buckle at any moment as I keep up with my attacks. I need to recharge, and fast. Unfortunately, the demons have me cut off from any viable power sources. 

That’s when I feel it. A powerful hand closing around the back of my neck and lifting me hard into the air. I try to resist, but the sudden attack takes me by surprise. The demon pulls me back toward his body so that he is looking me in the face from over my shoulder, he snarls and then simply tosses me aside. I slam hard into the side of a lamp post. The impact knocks the wind from my lungs, and I lay there on the side of the road, gasping for air as I try to get to one knee. But the demon has no intention of letting me get up. He comes at me, and just as his sharp, black claws are about to imbed themselves in my throat, the demon turns to ash right in front of my eyes. 

I look up, amazed at what I had just seen. To my surprise, there is a black clad hero standing before me with his hand outstretched. As I reach up to accept his hand, I notice that his costume has a sort of feline motif, and that is when I realize that this must be the one that they call “Lyger.” I don’t know much about him, but I accept his offer of help and allow him to pull me to my feet.

“Thanks.” I say as I place my hand on the lamp post. I can feel myself getting stronger as my body absorbs the electricity from the light, however, I know that this won’t be nearly enough. I need more power, and that is when I see the manhole cover. This isn’t just another manhole cover, it is a city utility manhole. Beneath the manhole cover, there is enough electricity to power this whole block. It is exactly what I need.

“Go help the others, I need a bit of a pick me up.” I say, trying to sound confident, but instead I think I might have just sounded like an idiot. 

Lyger looked at the young woman skeptically as he saw her eying the manhole cover. However, he just nodded in agreement.

“Right.” He said, turning to head back to the others at the portal. “Do what you need to do, but hurry. We don’t have much time left.” He finished as he left the young woman and made his way to the portal to join the others in one final push to close the gateway, before it was too late.
