As the four sinister tentacles squirmed in the sky, something even more threatening began to unfold. Hundreds of other smaller portals began to open, but this time they emerged directly from the sky, spreading out around the main portal. They looked like rips in reality itself, appearing as glowing fissures that spread through the dark clouds, bathing the city of Lancaster in a menacing red light.
These smaller portals hovered in the air, floating above the city like harbingers of destruction. Creatures began to fall from the sky in swarms. Firebirds, dragons, bats and other monstrosities plummeted from the dimensional openings, landing on the streets, buildings and vehicles, while absolute chaos took over. The battle cries were drowned out by the roar of the creatures that were now attacking from all angles.
