The heavy metal doors of the Alpha Facility slowly pushed open, groaning against the quiet morning air.
Adonis and Nikki stepped out of the dark, underground bunker and into the light. For the first time in ten long, terrible years, the light wasn't a sick, bruised purple. It wasn't a scary, glowing gray.

A perfectly clear, beautiful, endless blue sky stretched across the entire world. The bright morning sun was peeking over the jagged mountain peaks, casting a warm, golden glow across the land. The dark, poisoned clouds were completely gone, washed away by the massive pulse of green magic that had exploded from Nikki's chest the night before.

She could feel the gentle breeze playing with her red hair. She felt stronger, lighter, and more alive than she had ever felt in her entire life.
