The Marvels struggled to regain their footing, disoriented from the blast. Inferno's flames flickered weakly, while Sonic Boom's sound waves were muffled.
Apex stumbled, his agility compromised by the shockwave. Terra Verde's plants lay limp, and Kairos's strength was momentarily drained.
As their vision cleared, they assessed the damage. The device was destroyed, but the blast had caused significant destruction to the surrounding area.
"We need to check for survivors," Terra Verde said, her voice shaking slightly.
The Marvels quickly sprang into action, searching the debris-filled streets. They worked together, using their powers to lift rubble and search for anyone trapped.
As they worked, they realized the blast had affected more than just the physical environment. The energy signature had disrupted the city's power grid, causing widespread outages.
"We need to get back to base and report," Inferno said, his flames steady once more.
The Marvels nodded, their faces set with determination. They knew they had to uncover the source behind the device and prevent further destruction.
As they made their way back, they couldn't shake off the feeling that this was just the beginning of something much larger.
The city was in chaos, and The Marvels were ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead.
