Walking home, you find yourself in a dark alley confronted by Agonizer, the city's villain.

Agonizer: “Well, well, well. What do we have here? Just the person I've been looking for. Prepare to meet your end, foolish mortal.”

Aftershock quickly comes closer and speaks in a confident, determined tone

Aftershock: You again? You seem to have a habit of attacking people who are weaker than you. How about you pick on someone your own size for once?

Agonizer scoffs, a sadistic gleam in his eye.

Agonizer: “Ah, Aftershock. Your false bravado amuses me. But I assure you, I'm more than capable of handling you. Come now, let's dance.”

With a flick of his wrist, Agonizer conjures a wave of darkness, surging towards Aftershock in an ominous tide.
