The universe is filled with a lot of 'stuff,' far too much of it to adequately describe in any meaningful length of time. It is for exactly this reason that we will [i]not[/i] be focusing on the universe in general, and will instead be focusing on only a comparatively small part of it. In particular, a rather unremarkable collection of stars in a decidedly adequate galaxy. By celestial standards, they were the textbook definition of dull, average, and overall uninteresting. However, something miraculous was happening on a generic little planet in a generic little yellow star system. Planet Earth. At this very moment, the stars have aligned to form an ancient [url=http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-sN8WY6F97p0/T0A-lDS1s0I/AAAAAAAAAlk/L4CV9HArkms/s1600/Nuclear-Devil-Horns.jpg]symbol[/url], sacred to the few wretched creatures that understood it.

This was a momentous occasion, for not only would it not happen again for ages to come, it also heralded something greater. A call to what lay below, a call to an ancient force, beckoning it to come forth and fulfill its purpose.

[u][b]Megatropolis, in the sky, to be precise[/b][/u]

It was a cloudless day in the city, allowing the pure blue sky to display its full beauty to the inhabitants. Except for the people in E-district. They were much too busy committing crime and/or being poor to notice. Which was a shame, as that only served to limit [i]his[/i] audience. If you're wondering who [i]he[/i] is, dear reader, worry not. You will know in just a moment.

Responding to an as of yet unseen cue, a chorus of voices made themselves heard throughout the entire city, chanting unintelligibly. As it went on, the voices increased in volume, slowly culminating in a mighty crescendo before stopping suddenly. Immediately afterwards, a portion of the sky was filled with an explosive burst of flame, proceeded by a humanoid figure falling from the sky. Descending at an angle, the individual quickly found solid 'ground' in the form of a nearby skyscraper, touching down on the super-structure's side with his knees.

While one might think slamming into the side of a building knee-first would lead to serious injuries, or at the very least, damage to the building; neither of those things occurred. Rather, the figure seemed to be sliding down it, and gaining speed as they went. Not only that, but the building was inexplicably catching on fire behind him. This continued for a time, only for the figure to grind to a halt moments before striking the ground. Planting his feet on the surface most commonly used by the gravitationally inclined, the individual's appearance was now much easier to discern. 

Humanoid, decidedly masculine in physique, a tattered black coat resembling that of a Protestant reverend, a white undershirt, and black pants. All in all, hardly out of the ordinary, save for a few small things. For you see, dear reader, this man appeared to be a skeleton; quite a spooky one, at that. Furthermore, his eye sockets were covered by a blindfold, and upon his head were a pair of downward-pointing horns. The skeleton also possessed a sizable and bizarrely shaped electric guitar, linked to his horns by a pair of iron chains. If one were to describe the being in a single sentence, 'Metal Album Cover Art' would be more than sufficient. Once he'd finished brushing off a bit of stray dust, the figure began speaking, or more accurately, shouting at the top of their lungs.

"GOOD MORNING MEGATROPOLIS! YOU CAN CALL ME MURRAY, AND I'VE GOT ONE QUESTION FOR YOU ALL! ARE YOU READY..." The figure stopped mid-sentence, and took a moment to survey his surroundings.

"Alright, what the hell is this? I was told there'd be an audience waiting for the opening concert. Did Beelzeboss give me the wrong address [i]again[/i]?! Hey, you, with the costumes and shit," Murray addressed the gathering of heroes near the castle, "Is this Megatropolis? I got a gig there and I'm not sure where they wanted me."
