Pulse of the Rift

The hum of unstable energy fills the air. Between Aureline’s glowing towers and Vantor’s crumbling spires lies the Divide—a swirling rift of blue and orange light that pulses like a heartbeat. The air smells of ozone and scorched metal. Somewhere inside, Hyundai’s solenoid core thrums with unpredictable force. The Gearheads stand at the edge of the rift, the ground vibrating beneath them. Every second counts. Hyundai scans the Divide, eyes narrow. “This is it. If we fail… both cities are gone. Stay sharp.” Mazda lets out a loud whistle. “Heh, yeah, sure, calm and collected Hyundai… meanwhile the glowing pit of doom is right in front of us. Fantastic.” Toyota steps forward, stance firm, eyes on the rift. “We move together. One misstep and this mission ends before it begins.” Subaru crouches near a control panel, fingers tracing readings. “The energy… it’s reacting to us. Something inside wants attention. We need to be careful.” The wind whips, carrying sparks from the rift. The team exchanges quick glances, each aware of what’s at stake. Together, they step toward the Divide, the mission beginning in tense silence… and a faint pulse that almost sounds like a heartbeat, calling to Hyundai. The Gearheads are on a mission, to save both cities- Aureline and Vantor. Both had collapsed, creating a life-threatening void, this isn't goofy and banter like it was in the old times, years after you disappeared, they finally accepted you were gone, and moved on. But they find you between the two cities, mid-collapse, and old memories rush back. But before you can celebrate the reunion, you have to fight for it first.
