Teaser Introduction

by Daredevil3181

In a desolate field somewhere at the nexus of worlds, morning was fast approaching. The sun was just beginning to stretch over the horizon. Shadows lifted up their arms as if to greet old friends. There was nothing happening out here, but there was definitely a tension in the air. A tension so thick it made the very air feel like it was composed of molasses.

Suddenly a green spark shot through the air, accompanied by a "sizzle" sound. Just as soon as it appeared, the electric intruder vanished. Five seconds passed before another spark and sizzle disturbed the field's tranquility, this time brighter and louder than the first. The air slowly began to fill with green flecks and a cacophony of different sounds as an emerald doorway began to materialize.

As the jade entranceway came into existence, a silver handle in the shape of a talon fitted itself onto the side of the door. Elegant and almost sinister in its appearance, the talon offered an escape to those who were willing to take it. It also carried a dire cost to those who lacked caution.

Ever so slowly, the handle began to turn, as some entity desired admission into this hallowed field. With a tumultuous heave, the door flew open, nearly snapping itself off its hinges, as a solitary figure bounded through the portal. Taking a breath of fresh air, the entity smiled and took a step forward only to land face-down in the early morning dew that still clung to the blades of grass.

"All your grass are belong to us!" the figure shouted as it got to its feet, sporting bits of green in its unique hairstyle and clothes. "Make your time…for great justice!"

The individual slowly took in his surroundings. It soon dawned on him that this wasn't Kansas anymore. As he traipsed around the field, he noticed a very peculiar flower growing up out of the ground. Something about it just seemed to rub him the wrong way.

With a snarl, the man picked up his booted heel and brought it down hard on the foliage. "You are on the way to destruction!" he smirked as his foot sought to crush the offending life form. Unfortunately for him this was a rare species of venus flytrap. And it wasn't happy about being messed with.

The plant promptly closed down on the cyborg's leg, eliciting a bloodcurdling scream of pain from him. He frantically hopped around, trying in vain to dislodge the vicious foliage from his leg. If he had been able to take a look around though, he would have seen a myriad of doorways appearing, each one markedly similar to the one he had come through himself. And from within each doorway came a unique life form, called to this field for some unknown purpose. Things were about to get very, very interesting.
