An hour ago. Toronto, Canada.
The country had just recorded an all-time low in active Leaks on land when the new mode was introduced. Nearly eighty percent of them disappeared at once. Most simply vanished. Others shifted—changing into Survivor-mode Leaks.
They had been fortunate. Most of those Survivor-mode Leaks produced weaker Heroes, and with the information Beatrice had shared with the rest of the IBAA, they were closed quickly and efficiently.
It gave the country a moment to breathe. Just a moment.
Because one particular Leak, silent since its inception, finally stirred.
And it happened to be the one that had formed near one of Canada's only two S-tier Heroes, the Carnage Strongman. Mark.
And of course, he had been delegated as the Emperor of the Survivors.
Like most countries, they hadn't understood what was happening at first. But information spread quickly through the IBAA, and piece by piece, the situation began to take shape.
