Gregor clutched the smoking, ruined stump of his right arm. He sank into the blood-soaked mud of the village square, his chest heaving. The agony finally pierced the mindless rage that had driven him his entire life. He looked up at me, his face twisted into pure unhinged hatred beneath his...

Nymeria sat on her haunches beside me, her...
Tatsumaki screamed, blood dripping from her nose as she thrust both hands toward the sky. Above her, an entire city block complete with a shattered intersection and a half-collapsed grocery store were slowly drifting up into the clouds. She pulled with every ounce of her power to bring it back...
