From above, a colossal aircraft loomed, its engines humming with ominous intensity as if amassing a cataclysmic charge. Then, without warning, a beam erupted from its muzzle, tearing through the sky with terrifying speed.
Its target; Vega.
Reality itself recoiled as the beam surged forward, its incandescent path warping the very air. Vega, who had been unleashing carnage without restraint, halted abruptly. Her head snapped upward, a glint in her eye catching the streak of annihilation racing toward her.
Yet she did not flinch.
She stood motionless, her expression devoid of concern, as though such a strike were beneath her notice. And just as the beam was about to consume her, time stopped.
The world fell silent. The beam froze mid-air, mere inches from her form.
Vega had halted time itself.
