TRISH TAKANAWA (reporting live Crimson Cove):

Good evening, Paragon City. This is Trish Takanawa, reporting live from Nerva Archipelago, where a fierce and unexpected confrontation unfolded earlier today between Captain Verax of Arachnos and Aurora Borealis, the famed psychic and energy-wielding heroine of the Vindicators.

Witnesses describe a battle of blinding color and brutal precision — Verax’s signature Bane Spider armor cutting through the night like a shadow, countering Aurora’s radiant energy bursts with calculated force fields and tactical drone interference. The clash reportedly began when Aurora entered the area to intercept an Arachnos transport convoy, believed to be carrying classified meta-human suppression tech.

 

Local sources claim Verax confronted her personally, citing “unlawful interference with sovereign Arachnos operations.” The fight escalated across the cliffs overlooking the Crimson Cove power relays, culminating in Aurora’s apparent defeat after a high-altitude energy surge disabled her flight capabilities.

TRISH (back on scene, wind whipping through her hair):

Arachnos security sealed the site within minutes. When pressed for comment, Captain Verax responded tersely:

 

(Cut to Verax at an Arachnos command post.]

“Aurora Borealis shines bright, but even stars burn out when they wander too close to the Web.”

 

[Back to Trish, standing beside damaged ground at the scene of the battle.]

Longbow Command has yet to issue a statement, but unconfirmed reports indicate Aurora was extracted by Vanguard medevac teams shortly after dawn.

For Paragon News Network, I’m Trish Takanawa, reminding viewers — when Arachnos casts a shadow, even the brightest light can flicker.
