"Hi, I'm Bernie Sham, and this is the Ten O' Clock Evening News here in Colonial Bay. There's still been no word from Rapture's people, as the United Nations desperately tries to contact them, and there's been no sign of the missing ambassador and visiting professor at CBSU. If any of you have..."
SKRRRRRRRRRRRRK
There is a shimmering pop and the screen goes dark before relighting. Standing in front of a large black desk of obsidian is a man, wreathed in monstrous shimmering flames. His eyes are narrow slits, his bright gold mask and black powergauntlets shimmering in the otherwise darkened area. The body of his costume is silver, and it falls into a black crotch and thick armored boots. Under his three quarter face mask, vague hints of his Central American Heritage can be seen. His voice is accentless. "Attention, people of the world!" His voice is thunder, his lips thin and serious. "Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Aegisfire. Some of you may know me as a hero of South America, but, like my predecessor, 3000, our glorious leader, I have elected to join ACE. We of the Allied Champions of Earth now possess the Alien known as Rapture. This blatant assault upon our world by beings who threaten to take our only means of defense from us, daring to return us to the Stone Age while they impose their so-called peace upon the bauble that is Mother Earth, have only our worst interests at heart. By acquiring their so-called Ambassador, a spy, no doubt, for their invasion of this world, we have proven their wicked intentions. It is time for Earth to strike back against it's oppressors from space!"
"We demand that you release our leaders, 3000 and the Burning, from their confines in Stronghold! If this is not done within two weeks time so that we, the true defenders of this planet, we will be unable to protect you from the invasion of these people and their mongrelization of the Earth family unit." Aegisfire slams his fist into the table. "I call upon all the good people of this world to rise up, to fight, to challenge these despicable conquerers in their homes and in their beds, to burn their embassies and to rout them from this world! Doctor Metatrax, Fotonix, Axion, and others, some of whom were once supervillains, some of whom are the champions you have always known, stand ready, as one, to destroy these invaders and bring their wicked invasions to heel! We do not do this because we are afraid! We do this because they are afraid of us! Afraid of the superiority of the human race and all of our great achievements! The true villains are above us! Among the stars! Join us, and fight together for the only thing worth having! A world without the threat of alien invasion! May the accursed day that Stardancer Boulevard was erected live in infamy! Even the accursed signs of Space Burger, visible across the world, are anathema! I call upon you all to destroy these symbols. If 3000 and The Burning are not released within two weeks, we will execute Rapture on live television, in the very heart of Colonial Bay! You cannot stop us. We are legion. We are righteous. We are resilient, and cannot be defeated. Because we are not villains. We are heroes. Heroes like yourselves. For Earth!" He thunders. "For victory! Thank you, and we now return you to your regularly scheduled broadcast."
Aegisfire smiles and flicks a switch. "And if our leaders are not released...Rapture will be butchered like a miserable dog."
Then the screen goes black. It takes two minutes to restore power.
