Stage Zer0

Arc 3: Purgatory

Shade carefully picked himself up and brushed the dirt from his clothes. His body felt strangely heavy and the air around him felt thinner than usual.

He looked around at the other members of Team Catastrophe, who had all been transported alongside him. They had just arrived in Purgatory, confused about what was going on.

The only thing they knew was that a timer appeared in the sky and a voice had announced that Survival Zer0 would be shutting down, transporting them to an area called Stage Zer0.

The area was very strange. The sky was a reddish-black as if the atmosphere was poisonous and the ground was webbed with cracks as far as the eye could see from a lack of water.

The land was awfully barren and there wasn't much to see. It was almost as if they were standing in a desert without sand.

"What is this place..?" Groaned Miranda. "And why does my body feel like I've put on 50lbs..?"
