[London, Britain]

In the heart of fogkissed England, where the River Thames winds its way through centuries of history and culture, lies a city steeped in tradition and innovation: London, a metropolis where the past and the present collide in a harmonious cacophony of sights and sounds.

As the morning mist rises from the river, revealing the majestic silhouette of Tower Bridge and the iconic dome of St. Paul's Cathedral, London awakens to the hustle and bustle of everyday life. From the cobbled streets of Covent Garden to the vibrant markets of Camden Town, the city pulses with the energy of millions of lives intersecting in a tapestry of diversity.

At the heart of London lies its historic core, where centuriesold landmarks stand as testaments to the city's enduring legacy. The Tower of London, with its storied past of intrigue and imprisonment, stands guard over the river, while Buckingham Palace serves as the stately residence of the British monarchy.

But beyond the grandeur of its palaces and cathedrals, London is a city of contrasts, where ancient meets modern at every turn. In the shadow of glass skyscrapers, centuriesold pubs stand as bastions of tradition, their walls echoing with the laughter of generations past.

Yet amidst the hustle and bustle of urban life, there are moments of tranquility to be found in London's many green spaces. From the sprawling lawns of Hyde Park to the tranquil pathways of Hampstead Heath, the city offers respite from the chaos of the streets, a chance to reconnect with nature amid the urban jungle.

But perhaps London's greatest asset lies in its cultural riches, with worldclass museums, theaters, and galleries showcasing the best of human creativity and innovation. From the masterpieces of the National Gallery to the cuttingedge performances of the West End, London is a city that celebrates the arts in all their forms.

[London]

Walking on the streets is another character. (Characters nowadays tend to be walking on the street.)

Her name is Chloe Stemdragon. She is currently wearing a British World War II uniform, having just come from a costume party. She has long and smooth brown hair and is quite tall for a female (6'1").

Britain (unlike the United States) doesn't have any supervillains or superheroes as there are only eight gyms in this country.

As Chloe walks down the London streets, she looks to her left and sees a building caught on fire. Firefighters are called to the area, and police (with ER) also arrive in no time. The problem for them is that this building is hard to navigate, and they don't know where the people are. Chloe, seeing her chance to do something a real soldier would have done, rushes into the building, despite police trying to warn her.

Monika: Funneh's powers would be of use here.

[Burning Building]

Flames lick hungrily at the walls, sending plumes of smoke billowing into the air, obscuring the oncefamiliar surroundings in a haze of darkness. As the fire rages, the air is thick with the acrid scent of burning wood and melting plastic, a noxious cocktail that stings the senses and chokes the lungs. The crackle of flames mingles with the sound of falling debris, creating a symphony of destruction that reverberates through the building's corridors.

Amidst the chaos, there is a sense of urgency as firefighters battle tirelessly to contain the inferno, their faces obscured by protective masks as they brave the intense heat and choking smoke. With each blast of water and burst of foam, they inch closer to gaining the upper hand, their determination unwavering in the face of danger.

But amidst the destruction, there are moments of heroism and humanity. Residents and bystanders rally together, offering support and assistance to those in need, their selflessness shining brightly amidst the darkness. Together, they navigate the treacherous corridors, guiding each other to safety through the smokefilled labyrinth.

Yet, for all their efforts, the flames continue to rage, their insatiable hunger consuming everything in their path. In the flickering light of the fire, the oncefamiliar surroundings are transformed into a surreal landscape of chaos and destruction, a testament to the awesome power of nature unleashed.

[Burning Building]

Chloe rushes into the building, not expecting what she'll see or find. She hears screams from one of the rooms. She quickly runs inside and finds a mother with her children. They have been trapped by the smoke, flames, and debris. Chloe tries her best to escort them out and everyone else she finds.

Room by room, Chloe rescues the people she can. She makes it to the last room where there's supposedly a person in there. A woman screams for help, and Chloe tells the others to make it out safely.

Chloe breaks into the room and hears the woman scream, "Look over there! On that table is a box! Open it!"

Chloe follows the instructions to find a small red box with a blaze logo on it. She picks it up and opens it. She then finds a button pin in the shape of a phoenix. She puts it on and gets teleported.

[Realm of Flames]

[BURN!]

She is teleported to a small room with a small table, a pillow, and a TV. The TV sits on a small stand. Appearing out of nowhere, Pheonixa appears. She is a large and bright red phoenix. She flies down and introduces herself, "Hello, I am the UBL known as Pheonixa. I see you have found my box. We don't have much time."

Chloe says, "Okay."

Phoenix then responds, "You must form a fist in your left hand and hold this pearl in your right hand. When you do, please utter the words: 'May Fire Flame! Worldburst!'"

Chloe then says, "May Fire Flame! WORLDBURST!"

She then begins to transform, gaining an orangemetallic superhero outfit (like Funneh's), but she also has wings on it that she can retract.

Pheonixa then gives Chloe a basic rundown of her powers, noting that Chloe can use her fire regalia to absorb the fire in the building.

Chloe is then teleported back to the building.

[Burning Building]

Chloe then snaps back and quickly moves the large fallen burnt pieces of wood from the hallway. She manages to save the woman. She grabs her hand and runs straight through the wall—breaking the sound barrier in the process.

[Outside…]

Everyone is sent aback by the shockwaves caused by Chloe's jump. She lands the woman on the ground, and the police get everyone away from the fire.

The woman says, "Perfect."

Chloe says, "Huh?"

The woman then responds, "If nobody ran in that room and saved me, then I would have just done exactly what you did. But a bit better."

Chloe then responds, "I see. What is your name?"

The woman then says her name is Divine Axiom.

Divine Axiom says to Chloe, "I will help you with your quests or whatever you might need. I am aware a girl with blue hair has also obtained one of my items. My house is burned down, so can we rest at your place?"

Chloe says, "Sure."

Chloe then takes Divine Axiom to her house.
