The Day Gravity Fell...

A quiet day like any other as the people moved around uncaring of the looming threat. They all knew about the invasion going on but it was miles away so they were safe here. The heroes were off fighting the aliens and so nothing could happen to this small, quiet neighborhood.

The first sounds of the battle resembled thunder off in the distance. The people started to go outside and they could see the horizon like it was on fire. People scrambled into cars and began to flee. It was too late to run though. The first heroes began to arrive and tried to get the citizens to safety. They set up a line that they would try to hold for as long as they could.

The teleporting began to happen suddenly. All around there were brilliant flashes of light as aliens appeared. The heroes moved to intercept them but the aliens had learned how to distract the heroes and began firing not upon them but upon the crowd of people running away in terror.

In those first moments, many died beneath the energy weapons of the enemy. The heroes held off what they could but and tried to save who they could but they themselves were being overrun quickly and began dropping like flies.

Terrible seconds ticked past as the rest of the battle caught up with them. A women was running from an alien that sought to destroy her. A hero she recognized as Gravity Well bore down upon the alien from the sky sneering at it. She watched as the tar roadway cracked and buckled beneath the alien. He yelled something to her but the women just stood there in awe at what she was seeing. Gravity Well was on top of the women in the next instant as the alien soldier behind her raised a massive sword and plunged it downwards seeking the strike a killing blow.

Gravity’s eyes went wide and his face paled. A bracelet on his arm began to flash and the women watched as Gravity started to fade from view. Gravity hit a button on the bracelet and snapped back into existence just in time for the kick of the alien soldier sent him flying a good fifteen feet down the road.

Gravity clenched his arm and struggled to his feet as the blood began to soak his clothes. The women turned and saw the alien struggling to move against some unseen force that held the alien trapped. “My turn...” Gravity said and sneered. This time the alien’s eyes opened in terror at his own hopeless situation.

The women took a moment still stunned by what was happening to look around… her neighborhood was gone and the battle was moving off into the next neighborhood onto more people who thought they were safe. Meer heartbeats away from the Death and chaos of the moving battle.

The women saw Gravity collapsed do to his wounds and rushed over to help him. He looked at the women and pleaded with her to get away before…

CG opened her eyes remembering the day Gravity Fell with a deep sadness. The pain was not as fresh now. The passing of the years have seen to that. She often thought of the man who saved her life and ultimately changed it forever. Gravity Well… she recalled the last moments of his life as he pleaded with her to run. She recalled as the alien broke free from the binds that held him and knocked CG on her back. Gravity threw himself once more, on top of her trying to block the alien’s blade with his own body.

The memories quickly came to the surface as she touched the bracelet that teleports the heroes if they are in immediate danger of death. Gravity Well had used this same bracelet to save her life dying so the she might live.

Others may remember the invasion of 02 for the friends they lost, the heroes that gave their lives. It was the day she was reborn as Controller Grav. However, she remembered it the most as the day Gravity Fell
