The Direct Theft

The arena’s blaring emergency alerts cut through the distant roar of Cole’s battle two ruined city blocks over, static fizzing across every floating hologram as the masked operatives’ red targeting lasers lock onto Lyra’s chest.

Damien’s urgent, camera-perfect commentary blares over the arena speakers: “This is not a drill, folks—we have a catastrophic security breach!The nation’s number one hero is defenseless, who can step in?

” Lyra screams, slamming her fist against the concrete wall she’s pinned to, her amber hair matted with dust as the lead operative’s plasma rifle whines to full charge.

Camera drones swarm the corridor, zooming in on your face, the live audience sentiment ticker scrolling across every screen in the stadium—your 12% approval rating flashing bright red, ticking down by the second.

Your Plunder Spark hums softly under your skin, your only ability useless until you make contact with another hero’s power.The only hero in range is 10 meters away, about to be executed if you don’t act.

The APEX Arena roared to life at 8 PM. Thirty million viewers. Twelve contestants. The broadcast that would define the next generation of heroes. Damien Wolfe's voice boomed: "Welcome to APEX: The Next Symbol... Our twelfth contestant — codename Gray. Spark classification: unclassified." Mission 1: neutralize hostiles, protect civilians. Lyra was airborne within seconds. Then every light flickered. Masked operatives breaching the perimeter. Not a simulation. A concussive blast pinned Lyra against a wall. A device locked onto her chest. Her Solar Flare sputtered and died. Every camera pointed at her. And Gray — ranked last, carrying an ability that couldn't function without a target — stood three corridors away.

You stare down the ruined corridor. The masked operatives are advancing on Lyra, their weapons drawing charge. She is struggling against the dampening device, completely vulnerable. You have a clear path to her. The camera drones are swarming, capturing her defeat. You have no powers of your own. To save her, you have to take what little she has left. What do you do?
