Darkness over the Neon City
The Neon City never went to sleep. Skyscrapers flashed with a blue, shimmering glow, and the air trembled with the hum of cars and the distant rhythms of club tunes. Veronica, Kacper and Nadia met that night on the roof of an old shopping centre, hidden among the tall skyscrapers.

Everyone held their breath, ready to use their powers. Who was the mysterious stranger and were they really safe here? The city below pulsed with light, but a silence hung over the roof, swollen with tension and waiting for the inevitable....
