The Tyrant's Fall

For a long, frozen second, the only sound in Gorgon's throne room was the drip of grease from the roasted leg he had dropped on the floor.

The ten-foot-tall Demon King stared, his brutish mind struggling to process the impossible.

The rats he had been trying to squash for days had just appeared in his living room.

Then, his shock curdled into pure, incandescent rage.

"RAAAAAAAGH!" he bellowed, a sound of such fury that the melted televisions of his throne vibrated.

He grabbed his warhammer, the massive slab of concrete and rebar, and charged.

BOOM!

The ground itself seemed to shatter under his thunderous advance. The air shrieked and tore itself apart around his massive form, a pressure wave of displaced air blasting across the room.

"SCATTER!" Isabelle yelled.

The Wrecking Crew exploded into action. Fenris and Reina went left, Lillith went right, and Isabelle met the charge head-on.
