Panel 1:
A wide shot of the park, chaos unfolding as No Plot Man and Neon Wraith fight off the invading armored figures. The glowing rift in the sky swirls violently, sending waves of energy crashing to the ground.
SFX: CRACK! BOOM!
Narration Box: "The Chicken of Chaotica isn't just a relic—it's a beacon. And now, the city faces an invasion unlike any before."
Panel 2:
No Plot Man swings the rubber chicken like a bat, sending an invader flying into a fountain. The chicken glows faintly with every strike.
No Plot Man (yelling): "I'm just saying, I'm not trying to be good at this!"
Neon Wraith (mid-spin, slicing an invader's weapon in half): "You're doing fine. Focus!"
Panel 3:
Close-up of one of the invaders. Its helmet cracks open to reveal a featureless black void where a face should be. A distorted voice emerges.
Void Invader: "Surrender the relic. The chaos will consume you."
No Plot Man (leaning in slightly): "Uh, do you guys have a manager I can talk to? This whole vibe is kinda spooky."
Panel 4:
The void invader lunges, but No Plot Man ducks and counters with the rubber chicken. The glow intensifies, blasting the invader back into the rift.
SFX: BOOOOM!
Neon Wraith (impressed): "How are you this good with that thing?"
No Plot Man: "Honestly? No clue."
Panel 5:
Neon Wraith presses a button on his gauntlet, projecting a holographic map of the city. He gestures toward the rift.
Neon Wraith: "We can't hold them off forever. We need to shut that rift before more come through."
No Plot Man (shrugging): "Cool. How do we do that?"
Neon Wraith: "The Chicken of Chaotica might be the key. Its energy can destabilize the portal."
Panel 6:
The two heroes dash toward the rift, dodging enemy fire. Neon Wraith uses his neon blades to deflect energy blasts, while No Plot Man swings the chicken like a shield.
SFX: ZAP! WHOOSH! KAPOW!
No Plot Man (yelling over the noise): "This feels like a terrible plan!"
Neon Wraith: "You're not wrong!"
Panel 7:
The rift looms large, its energy pulling debris into its swirling vortex. Close-up on No Plot Man as he stares at it, the rubber chicken glowing brighter in his hand.
Narration Box: "For a guy with no plot, this moment feels oddly significant."
No Plot Man (muttering): "Alright, chicken. Don't let me down."
Panel 8:
No Plot Man leaps toward the rift, raising the chicken high. The glowing relic begins to vibrate, releasing waves of chaotic energy. The invaders recoil, screaming in distorted voices.
Void Invaders (in unison): "No! The balance will break!"
Neon Wraith (from the ground): "You've got this!"
Panel 9:
The rubber chicken's glow becomes blinding. The rift begins to collapse in on itself, pulling the invaders back into its depths. No Plot Man is caught in the pull but clings to a lamppost with one hand.
SFX: WOOOOSH! CRACKLE!
No Plot Man (gritting his teeth): "This… is… not… fun!"
Panel 10:
With a final burst of energy, the rift closes, leaving the sky clear once more. No Plot Man drops to the ground, the chicken dim but intact in his hand.
SFX: POP!
Narration Box: "And just like that, it was over. Or so they thought."
Panel 11:
Neon Wraith helps No Plot Man to his feet. The park is in ruins, but the immediate danger has passed. Civilians peek out from their hiding spots.
Neon Wraith: "You did it. The rift's closed."
No Plot Man (panting): "Yeah, but I think my arm's gonna fall off."
Panel 12:
The two heroes stand amidst the rubble, surveying the damage. The rubber chicken looks almost ordinary now, dangling from No Plot Man's hand.
No Plot Man: "So… are these rift things gonna keep popping up?"
Neon Wraith: "Hard to say. But one thing's clear—you're tied to this artifact. And to them."
Panel 13:
Zoom out to show the city skyline, peaceful for now. But in the distance, faint lights glow on the horizon, hinting at more trouble to come.
Narration Box: "The Chicken of Chaotica may have stopped one threat, but its power continues to attract enemies from the void. For No Plot Man, the adventure is just beginning."
Panel 14 (final panel):
Back at Tony's Gag Emporium, a shady figure in a hood browses the shelves. Their hand hovers over another glowing object—a whoopee cushion that pulses faintly with energy.
Caption: "Meanwhile, elsewhere…"
Shady Figure (grinning): "Found you."
