Intermission II
Late at night in downtown Port Vaal, all was relatively quiet. It was a weekday, so the many establishments that operated in the area had little traffic at this time.
Near the center of the city was a large highrise building. It was the tallest building in the city. The floors closer to the bottom were all stores and bars operating in the building, with the upper half all being office space for a major Golgatta banking institution.
It was late, so the upper half of the building had most of its lights turned off and seemed to be empty at this time. While lights illuminated from windows in the lower half of the highrise that have bars operating out of them.
It was supposed to be an uneventful evening, but the peace was interrupted by the sounds of an explosion.
Near the top of the highrise, a massive explosion had just gone off, creating a huge hole in the side of the building. Piece of steel and glass came raining down onto anyone unlucky enough to walk around the street below.
Sirens could be heard off in the distance, rushing towards the building where the explosion happened.
Near the top of the highrise, black smoke was billowing outwards. Bright red orange flames could be seen and spreading throughout the building, starting from the top to slowly moving downwards on the structure.
Within the area the explosion happened was an inferno. Everything was up in flames and standing in the center of it was a woman with bright red hair, the most wanted criminal on the continent, Alexandria Scarlett. She was standing over a man in a fancy suit who had serious third degree burns all over the left side of his body.
Burnt Man: “W-why? We did nothing against you. Why are you going after us?”
