Deep in the dark recesses of the UnderNet, Forte drifts aimlessly in sleep. In this cybernetic graveyard a pulsating power rouses him, warning him of a dangerous entity approaching. A haunting face emerges amid a massive, bright purple blob, laughing directly at Forte. Cursing him, the blob takes shape and captures him in its grasp, leaving Forte powerless. As sunset nears, a peaceful city and its people go about their everyday business. Curious bystanders on a sidewalk glimpse a shimmering purple light that suddenly expands into a tall pillar reaching toward the sky. Screams erupt as the pillar of light rises, absorbing everything in its destructive path.
