Asap glanced upward again. A deep hum stirred within his chest - same force as before, quietly buzzing whenever danger neared. Not just noise anymore - the streets were falling to pieces. All around chaos cracked open… yet he stayed grounded, the one clear piece in a world gone loose.
He tugged the green hoodie up again, blocking out the harsh flickers. Shade meant nothing now. A bug in the code - him - and everything around him started to skip too.
He moved on, not heading into the fear, yet aiming for the closest big rift - straight into the mess, seeing no other path ahead.
Asap spots green portals flickering nearby while the world shifts oddly
It began with a single one.
A lone green gateway popped up over the city line - quiet, turning slow, about as big as a basketball. Folks froze on sidewalks, snapping videos with their phones, wondering if it was just some odd light trick. After that, one more showed up. Following close behind, yet another lit up the sky.
In seconds, heaps appeared mid-air - jagged green cuts hovering, flickering slightly like the world froze up. Each one stuttered, pulsing unevenly, as though the sky couldn't keep up.
Asap Ashton shoved past people, hood high, eyes scanning. Neon rings flared, buzzing soft, shaking the space like underground music. Wind hit his skin - off somehow, eerie, as if born where nothing should live.
A gateway in the air stretched wide - grew twice as big, then doubled once more - spilling green glow onto rooftops. Wind flung scraps of paper. Horns blared nonstop. Folks shouted in panic.
A blast hit the road, making Asap stagger backward.
"Yo—what is happening—"
Just as his mind started to form the idea, the biggest gateway crashed down like a broken vortex. Because of its gravity, it yanked floating boards and old papers - soon after, it grabbed him too.
Asap pressed his heels hard against the sidewalk, clutching a metal post with both palms. Wind blasted nearby, tugging harder each second till his shoes left the concrete completely.
The pole buckled. Meanwhile, metal screeched.
"No—no—no—"
The world lit up in a bright green glow.
His hood flew back when something pulled him up fast, turning. Right away the opening took him in, pulling through a whirl of broken pixels and bright green flashes.
The last sound he caught before vanishing? The city screaming in chaos -
Then silence fell all around.
Asap's form twisted, stretching out weirdly - as if the world was glitching while trying to figure him out. Colors split apart in front of his eyes, jagged and wild. A whoosh of electric air roared loud, like data screaming past.
Then—
A last flash of green.
He was gone.
