[SCENE 1 – KAIRON'S COSMIC THRONE – EMPEROR'S DIMENSION]
The hall stretched into infinity, pillars floating in the starry void. At the center, Kairon's colossal throne emanated a presence that suffocated even the heavens themselves.Before it, a pedestal sealed the Spear of Destiny.
Seated, Kairon opened his divine eyes.
Kairon (deep, divine voice):— Tyrus.
From the shadows, Tyrus emerged. A dark figure, kneeling with forced reverence.
Tyrus:— Yes, my sovereign…
Kairon (coldly):— You know why I summoned you.
Tyrus (pretending surprise):— No, my lord. But I am at your service.
Kairon rose slowly. His cosmic body radiated a pressure that distorted space itself, as if the universe trembled before him.
Kairon (icy):— The Core of the Spear of Destiny… Where is it?
Tyrus (rigid):— I don't know. Perhaps I never had full access.
Kairon turned his back, walking in silence. A deadly tension lingered in the air.
Tyrus whispered with disdain:
Tyrus (low):— Fool.
In a flash, his living shadow rose and struck with a lethal blow at the Emperor's back.
A deafening impact. Nothing happened.
Kairon's body dissolved into astral mist.
Kairon (appearing behind him, relentless):— I knew you were a treacherous snake, Tyrus.
Tyrus (laughing):— And you really thought I didn't know your plans? Behold…
He opened his cloak. A purple glow pulsed within his chest.
Tyrus:— The Core… is right here. Inside me!
[SCENE 2 – COSMIC BATTLE]
Energy exploded. The two clashed like gods, shaking entire dimensions. Meteoroids disintegrated into dust before even touching the shockwave.
Empowered by the Core, Tyrus unleashed his Primordial Darkness.
Tyrus (roaring):— Black Genesis: Legacy of Sorrow!
From the void, abyssal entities were born — the "children of darkness," formed from the lament of extinct worlds. Each was a mini-divinity with unique powers. They stormed toward Kairon in a hurricane of destruction.
Kai (worried):— Master…!
Kairon (calm):— No problem, Kai.
Raising his hand, Kairon answered:
Kairon:— Emperor's Touch: Eternal Judgment.
Time, matter, even alternate realities were no defense. Kairon's touch was a narrative imposition: reality itself obeying his command.
The creatures disintegrated. Tyrus, stunned, stepped back.
Kairon looked at him with contempt.
Kairon (emotionless):— Time to end this.
He seized Tyrus by the throat, lifting him as if he were nothing. Then, with his bare hand, he tore out his pulsating heart.
The Core of the Spear glowed within the heart. Kairon crushed it, fusing the power into the Spear of Destiny.
An overwhelming aura consumed the Emperor. His power now rivaled Yon's.
Kairon (declaring to the cosmos):— Humans… heroes… I AM COMING!
[SCENE 3 – HEROCITY]
Atop a tower, Kelvin Nox felt a sharp pain in his chest. His shadows thrashed like a furious ocean.
Kelvin (gasping):— What…? Tyrus…?
A voice echoed in his mind.
Tyrus (spirit):— Yes… it's me, boy.
Kelvin (shocked):— What's happening?!
Tyrus:— That's right. I lost… I was killed by Kairon.And today… all of you will die.
Kelvin (stunned):— Huh!?
Tyrus (serious):— He will come today. But don't worry. If I trust anyone, it's you and your son. You, Kelvin and Ryu, inherited my power… Please, defeat him. Or everything you love will end.
Kelvin (furious):— And why should I trust you? You used me once already, you filthy snake!
Tyrus smiled with nostalgia.
Tyrus:— I missed that arrogance of yours.…But now I speak in truth. Not as a villain, but as a god who announces ruin: Kairon is coming. There is no more time. Take my power.
He extended his hand. Kelvin, hesitant, touched it.
Kelvin (screaming in agony):— Arghhhhhhhhhhh!
His scream echoed through all of Herocity.
Inavy appeared, surprised.
Inavy:— Kelvin!
In the ruined central district, Ryu also fell to his knees, seized by the same energy.
Ryu (screaming):— Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Black and crimson shadows erupted around him, consuming him. His eyes glowed dark violet.
Tyrus' shadows were absorbed by Kelvin and Ryu. Both collapsed, their auras shattering and rising again into something new — a power both ordered and chaotic.
Inavy (astonished):— Kelvin…? Your eyes… they're golden!
Kelvin (breathing deeply):— Grab your katana. We're heading to the central district.
Inavy:— Wait, man…
As they walked, they entered Lorien's office.
Kelvin (direct):— Rise and wear your battle uniform. We have no time.
Lorien (confused):— Huh… what's gotten into you?
Inavy (still baffled):— Yeah, man. Even his eyes are different. They look like…
Lorien (activating his Seraphim eyes):— Tyrus. But… purified. Ordered.
Kelvin:— Exactly. He's dead for real this time.
Nion switched with Inavy, taking over his body.
Nion:— Enough joking. Nox… that means…
Kelvin (grave):— Kairon killed Tyrus. And he will come to Earth today.
Lorien:— I must alert the guild leaders immediately.
Nion (solemn):— Kairon is coming today!!
At that moment, Darius rushed in.
Darius:— I came as fast as I could. What's this about Kairon coming? My students are still in the field against the Renegates!
Lorien:— All guild leaders must gather now.
He placed his hand on Inavy's shoulder.
Lorien (determined):— Today is your day, Inavy. Save them all. We believe in you.
Meanwhile, Darius activated his intercom.
Darius:— Zen, can you hear me?
Zen (in battle):— Yes, sensei.
Darius:— You must locate Ryan.
Zen:— Why look for Ryan?
Darius:— Because Kairon will come to Earth today.
Zen (shocked):— What?! That's a horrible joke, sensei!
Darius (serious):— No jokes. His number one target is Ryan. Find him and bring him to Inavy, now!
Zen froze in shock. Kane ran beside him.
Kane:— Bro, what happened?
Zen (pale):— Kairon… he's coming today.
Meanwhile, south of the central district, Ryu regained his breath before Abby and Dante.
Dante:— Ryu, what happened? Your aura is stronger!
Ryu (looking at his arm):— My seal… disappeared. That means Tyrus was killed.
Abby (shocked):— But… wasn't he killed 17 years ago?!
Ryu (dark tone):— That's what I thought… But now… Kairon is coming.
The silence was crushing. Everyone felt the weight of the revelation.
[SCENE 4 – EMPEROR'S DIMENSION]
Kairon raised the Spear of Destiny, now reborn.The entire universe seemed to hold its breath.
Kairon (gazing into the void):— Elly… I will avenge you.And I will destroy what he loved most.
