Clouds billowed in the sky, and dark thunderclouds placed the battle-scarred region into darkness, swallowing up the vibrant neon colors.
The raging storm gradually subsided, leaving behind only chaos.
More than one high-rise building had been destroyed; shattered remnants and broken walls floated in the air or lay scattered on the ground, both the middle-level squares and the lowest level Black Alleys were inundated with debris.
Flames that could not be extinguished continued to burn, wantonly licking the surrounding buildings while the steel and machinery melted.
Suddenly, a stream of white mist burst from the conduits, quenching the still-burning fire.
A few red heavy trucks arrived from not far away, and trained soldiers expertly put out fires, cleared the debris, investigated the scene, and searched for survivors.
Behind the heavy trucks, several black and blue patrol cars stopped by a half-collapsed high-rise building.
