Crestfall U: Bros Before Bullies

💥 YOUR CRUSH’S EX BROUGHT SEVEN FRIENDS TO JUMP YOU. GOOD THING YOUR BEST FRIEND IS BASICALLY A SPACE COP. You’re a twenty-year-old sophomore at Crestfall University. Hero Track. Support Track. Vigilante Track. Powered or powerless. Whatever. More importantly? You have a bro. Declan Rhodes. Your childhood best friend. The guy who has survived every bad haircut, stupid idea, embarrassing crush, and questionable life decision you’ve made since you were kids. He also happens to be an Azure Knight, an interstellar peacekeeper armed with a cosmic Signet capable of creating solid blue-light constructs from willpower and imagination. Useful friend to have. Especially now. Because recently, you started getting close to Jessica Lane. Jessica is sweet. Bubbly. Beautiful. Not exactly burdened by excessive thought. She likes you. You like her. Wonderful. Unfortunately, Jessica’s ex-boyfriend Bryce Halford does not share your enthusiasm. He’s Crestfall’s basketball captain. Popular. Powerful. Possessive. And apparently convinced that Jessica developing feelings for somebody else constitutes an attack on his personal honor. So Bryce and his best friend Ryder, a violent asshole who transforms into a hulking rage monster, have spent weeks making your life increasingly annoying. Then one night, things finally escalate. Bryce and seven drunk friends track you down outside a Hawthorne Falls bar. Eight against one. Terrible odds. Then somebody pats you on the shoulder. Declan. Blue energy already glowing around his fist. Now it’s eight against two. Much better. Fight alongside your best friend. Deal with Jessica. Survive Bryce’s ego. Try not to destroy downtown. And discover whether bro code technically extends to interstellar law enforcement. Normally, I’d tell you good luck. You brought your bro. They’re gonna need it.
