The clash of resonant energies continued, as resistance to the sonic devastation brought by the Invader began to mount. The Old Guard, with their unwavering faith in the vintage hum of their amplifiers, found unexpected strength. As The Invader’s relentless waves of sound roared across the shattered cities, the purists’ classic amplifiers responded with defiant bursts of raw, unpolished golden age tones that seemed to push back the invader’s crushing power.

Without warning a deep rumble could be heard and the Old Guard’s hearts immediately sank. It was a sonic message so deep and powerful – unlike anything they’d heard before.

The rumble heralded the arrival of a new force sent by the Q, from a realm beyond time and space. Emerging from the depths of the planet’s fractured crust, an entity known as Carnage arrived, bringing with it utter devastation. Where The Invader’s tones were broad and immersive, Carnage’s sound was surgical, metallic, and unrelenting. Its tones slashed through the air with blistering speed - each note like a sonic blade tearing through the purists’ defenses. Carnage’s amplifier was a construct of otherworldly precision—its metallic chassis gleamed as if forged from the molten core of a star, with sharp angles and glowing red circuitry pulsating in time with its devastating riffs.

As the Old Guard rallied their vintage gear for one last stand, Carnage unleashed its full arsenal of hellfire. With each pick scrape, it generated bursts of sharp, staccato distortion carving through the defenders’ brittle sonic shields. Its speed was unmatched; solos ripped through the battlefield at a pace that made the air itself shudder. Every note, every chugging riff, landed with the force of a meteor strike, creating fissures in the very ground beneath the resistance’s feet. Tubes burst and chassis cracked, twisting useless transformers in Carnage’s wake.

The Old Guard fell back, their cherished amplifiers crumbling under the combined might of The Invader’s power and Carnage’s precision. Their vintage tones, once thought to be untouchable, were drowned out by the sheer magnitude of this new sonic force. The few who survived spoke of Carnage’s sound as a kind of metallic storm—impossibly fast, impossibly sharp, and impossibly powerful.

And so, as Carnage came to the Invader’s aid, the tide of the battle turned irreversibly. The resistance, no matter how steadfast, could not stand against the relentless force of two amplifiers that redefined sound itself, but what would happen in the Aftermath of this conflict remained unclear for the moment...
