Anomaly in downtown Maverick

There was a low rumble, then a booming explosion followed by a flash of purple and blue lights that made the citizens of Maverick City's heads turn up into the sky.

Then, silence, nothing... Until something hit the corner of a high building, erupting into a shower of granite dust and glass.

And then finally; Something hit the street two blocks away from the initial impact, exploding like a minor comet. A pillar of shattered asphalt, concrete, and metal shooting up with the force of the impact.

There was immediate chaos; cars driving into each other and piling up at the lip of a smoldering crater, people screaming, running; calling for law enforcement and heroes to deal with what they all assumed was a comet of some form. But in the middle of all the smoke and dust, there was movement, someone getting shakily to their feet, and coughing.
