Marcel followed Ava and the team as they approached the anomaly. The glowing light was getting brighter, and Marcel could feel its energy coursing through his veins.
As they got closer, Marcel saw that the anomaly was some kind of portal. It was swirling with colors, and Marcel could feel a strange, pulsating energy emanating from it.
"What is this thing?" Marcel asked, his voice barely above a whisper.
Ava's eyes were serious. "We're not entirely sure. But we think it's some kind of doorway to another dimension."
Marcel's eyes widened in shock. Another dimension?
As he stood there, trying to wrap his head around the concept, Marcel felt a strange sensation in his pocket. He reached in and pulled out the device Ava had given him.
The device was beeping loudly, and the screen was flashing with an urgent message.
"What's going on?" Marcel asked, showing the device to Ava.
Ava's eyes scanned the screen, and her expression turned serious. "It's detecting a massive energy spike. Whatever is on the other side of that portal is trying to break through."
Marcel's heart was racing with excitement. This was it. This was the moment they had been waiting for.
As he stood there, frozen with anticipation, Marcel felt a strange sensation building inside him. It was as if he was being pulled towards the portal, as if some unseen force was urging him to step through.
Ava's voice broke into his thoughts. "Marcel, we need to be careful. We don't know what's on the other side of that portal."
Marcel nodded, his heart still pounding with excitement. He knew that they had to be careful, but he also knew that they couldn't back down now.
They had to see this through, no matter what lay ahead.
As Marcel stood there, weighing his options, the device in his pocket began to beep loudly once more.
The screen was flashing with an urgent message, and Marcel's heart sank as he read the words.
"It's too late," Marcel said, his voice barely above a whisper. "Whatever is on the other side of that portal is breaking through."
Ava's eyes locked onto Marcel's, and he saw a flash of fear in their depths.
"What do we do?" Marcel asked, his heart racing with anticipation.
Ava's expression turned grim. "We get ready to face whatever is coming our way."
Marcel nodded, his heart pounding with excitement. This was it. This was the moment they had been waiting for.
As they stood there, frozen with anticipation, the portal behind them began to glow with an intense, pulsating energy.
Marcel felt a strange sensation building inside him, as if he was being pulled towards the portal once more.
And then, in an instant, everything went white.
Marcel stumbled backwards, his eyes blinded by the intense light.
As he struggled to regain his footing, Marcel heard a strange, pulsating noise.
It was as if the very fabric of reality was tearing apart.
Marcel's heart was racing with excitement as he stumbled forwards, his eyes straining to see through the intense light.
And then, in an instant, everything went black.
Marcel stumbled backwards, his eyes blinded by the darkness.
As he struggled to regain his footing, Marcel heard Ava's voice, faint but urgent.
"Marcel, can you hear me?"
Marcel nodded, his eyes straining to see through the darkness.
"Yes, I can hear you," Marcel replied, his voice shaking with fear.
Ava's voice was grim. "We're not alone. Whatever came through that portal is still here."
Marcel's heart sank as he realized the truth.
They were in grave danger.
And they had to get out of there, fast.
