🦅 Scene 1 – Blue Crane's True Face
By day, Blue Crane is a beloved superheroine — graceful, powerful, and always saving civilians with a smile. But in the shadows, she's part of a demonic cult, kidnapping young boys and sacrificing them at midnight rituals to feed the Gate of Hunger.
Her latest victim is a boy named Micah, who disappears after a staged rescue. The cult chants in a forgotten language. A demon's claw reaches through the gate.
>Blue Crane – "Mercy is a mask. Sacrifice is salvation."

🦘 Scene 2 – Ace Arrives

Ace arrives in South Africa, hopping off a cargo plane with a boomerang on his back and a grin on his face.
>Ace – "You called for backup. I brought attitude."
He joins Leo Maseko, Sebastian, and the Africa team.
