"A storm doesn't need permission to arrive. Neither do I."
— Rahul, before the Fall of Seraphon Prime
Scene 1: Celestial Realm — Emergency Council, Top Tier
The Celestial High Council was in crisis.
Their most powerful member — Princess Olivia Seraphyne Vaeloria — had declared herself as the Echo of Starcore Bloom.
Unprecedented.
Dangerous.
And now… uncontrollable.
A massive simulation played out before the council: If Olivia and Kaien ever combined powers intentionally, they would become a theoretical anomaly called:
"Class Zero: Universe Inversion Pairing."
It meant this:
Together, they could undo causality.
That… terrified them.
A hollow-eyed Archon stood up.
"I propose we declare Kaien Azaryth Vordrakar an Unstable Cosmic Entity."
Another agreed.
But one voice whispered:
"Do that… and Rahul may return."
Silence.
Because even now — none dared to speak his name loudly.
Scene 2: Outer Dominion – Off-World Mission
Kaien and Olivia stood aboard a stealth-class void cruiser heading toward the ruins of Exion Prime — a long-dead war world.
A celestial artifact had activated there. One last touched by Rahul himself.
Their goal: retrieve it. Before the wrong hands got there.
The ship's view-window shimmered with cosmic clouds. Stars burned blue.
Olivia sat in silence. Her aura glowed — contained, but barely.
Kaien leaned beside her.
"You're quiet."
"I'm thinking."
"Dangerous habit."
She chuckled. "Do you ever get tired of carrying all that weight?"
He tilted his head.
"Do you?"
They stared at each other.
And for a moment, the galaxy outside seemed to pause.
But before anything more could be said—
ALARM: INCOMING CELESTIAL DISRUPTION.
A wormhole tore open.
And from it descended a being older than records.
Scene 3: Enter: Serethar, The Bound Eternal
Rank: God-tier Entity
Title: Exiled Starbreaker
Status: Rogue — once sealed by Rahul
Power: Unstable Time-Collapse Field
He appeared in torn robes stitched from dark matter, dragging a shattered chain behind him.
"You're his descendant," he rasped to Kaien.
"And you—" he turned to Olivia— "you hold her light."
"Then let me remind you what you're pretending not to be."
Without warning—he attacked.
Scene 4: The Cosmic Duel Begins
Kaien blurred forward, instantly drawing the voidblade Rah'Vael.
Olivia raised a light ward across reality's threads.
Serethar twisted space, punching through starlight with inverted gravity fists.
Planets nearby shifted orbit. Their cruiser collapsed into a singularity.
Kaien moved faster.
Their blades clashed in space — no sound, only light and ruptures of logic.
Kaien sliced cleanly through a planet-sized fist, then blasted Serethar with pure Voidflame.
"He taught you well," Serethar snarled, regenerating instantly.
"He didn't teach me," Kaien said. "His blood did."
Olivia descended like a comet — crashing into Serethar with enough force to bend gravity fields.
They fought together.
But even together… they weren't enough.
Not yet.
Serethar unleashed his ultimate ability:
"Eternal Collapse" — a slow-time field where every second aged you by 10 years.
Kaien was caught.
Time slowed. Muscles tensed. Aging began.
He heard a voice.
"You're stronger than this."
"The throne isn't a gift. It's a dare."
— Rahul's whisper, from within
Kaien snapped free.
Transcended.
Hair ignited into silver fire. Voidflame exploded from his chest like a black sun.
"Enough."
He roared — and the entire realm broke.
Reality screamed. Serethar froze. Olivia shielded her eyes.
And Kaien struck him down — clean, absolute, like Rahul once did.
The fight was over in one blow.
Scene 5: The Twist – The Vault Is Already Open
After the battle, Kaien and Olivia landed at the artifact site.
It was already… empty.
A broken lock hung from the air. The seal Rahul left long ago was shattered.
And scrawled across the wall in faded Voidflame:
"I warned you not to be late."
Kaien froze.
"He was here."
Olivia touched the mark. "Not just that…"
"He left a message in starlight."
"And it says—" her eyes widened—
"They've taken the fifth."
"What does that mean?" Kaien asked.
She looked at him, voice shaking.
"One of the five… one of us… has already been captured."
Final Scene: The Chains of the Fifth
Far away, in a pocket realm that screamed silence—
A boy with raven hair and fractured eyes knelt in chains forged from anti-matter faith.
His name?
To be revealed in the next arc.
His captors?
A god-tier cult that once tried to erase Rahul from history.
Now?
They want Kaien.
But first… they'll use the fifth against him.
