The building collapsed, sending dust billowing upward.
A thunderous rumble rolled on without end.
Inside the battle zone, nearly a hundred people fought in a free-for-all.
A considerable number of Mutated Thought-Objects added to the chaos, running amok amid the melee.
It was easy to imagine how chaotic the fight had become.
