From the ashes of Nova Heights, a new generation of heroes has risen - not perfect, not united, but bound by choice. They call themselves Harmony, and their first victory proved that even in the face of fracture, unity is possible. Yet the Core remains cracked. The Syndicate of Shadows still plots in orbit and beyond. And the world remains wary of its new protectors. Each of these young heroes now stands on the edge of their own journey. In the stories to come, each of these heroes will face their own battles - some personal, some cosmic - before the Core fractures again. Their paths will diverge, collide, and converge once more, testing the fragile harmony they have built. Because harmony is not the absence of discord. It is the choice to rise above it - together.
