And so it ends.
It starts with a whimper beneath the few stones left of the city. The streets that have managed to survive the destruction slowly start to sink, while the City begins to unravel at both the edges and the seams. The outermost areas simply fall apart letting the stars and the light of a distant sun fall on the City…Briefly. The inner sections of the City are also decaying at a fast rate, and whatever doesn't fall apart starts to crumble up like an old piece of newspaper, then gets sucked into a white light that starts to spill out underneath the widening cracks that spread through whatever is left of the streets.
The spectacle doesn't last long, because in just a heartbeat there isn't much left of the City to fall apart. Whatever was holding the City up is either gone now, or not strong enough to halt the collapse. The pieces of buildings keep falling…But not out into space. Something, down in the central parts of the City foundations, draws the rubble, and anyone unfortunate enough to be left on the streets, down into the roots of the Stranger's experiment.
There, something is still pulsing away, even as everything falls down around it; one portal out, which is now acting as a dimensional sink hole and drain. The remains of the City swirl around it, before getting pulled in through the dimensional door and spat out to wherever it is they came from. With all that said and done, there isn't much left, aside from a few unfortunate Strangers, to watch as the portal finally decides to go out with a BANG.
And unlike another cosmic bang that can be named, after that there is only silence.
