Location: Mars – Eclipse Ruins, Subsurface Temple Site
Dust storms howled across the Martian surface, but deep below—beneath stone, bone, and silence—an ancient force awakened. The Eclipse Summoning Ritual, long forbidden even by the Tribunal, had begun.
Glowing sigils pulsed across the cavern floor. Black flames danced in a ring, surrounding a monolithic structure carved with Eclipsian glyphs. And at its center, an obsidian obelisk thrummed like a heartbeat.
A single word echoed through the chamber.
"Xinyi…"
The daughter had awakened.
The Eclipse Empire wanted her back.
Scene: NovaVerse Command Bridge – Flagship Nova Crown
In orbit above Mars, the Nova Crown hovered silently.
Bai Chen stood before the digital war map, surrounded by his queens and top command staff. The red planet spun slowly beneath their feet, and deep within its belly—danger brewed.
"We have one shot," Bai Chen said, eyes locked on the terrain map. "If that ritual completes, they'll summon a gate large enough to bring in Veyron's Vanguard Fleet."
Tang Xinyi stood beside him in her newly-forged armor—a fusion of NovaVerse alloys and Eclipse resonance crystal. Elegant, dark-violet plates pulsed with starfire veins.
"I'm going down there," she said. "This is my burden—and my birthright."
Su Yiran tapped on her tablet. "We've located the coordinates: Ruin Sector Z-12, 3.4 kilometers underground."
Ye Qingyue added, "That area is shielded. AI readings drop to zero past the first barrier. Tech won't help us inside."
Lin Yuwei cracked her knuckles. "Then we go old-school."

Scene: Mars Surface – Insertion Point
The NovaStrike Shuttle sliced through the thin atmosphere and landed in a hidden crater.
Bai Chen leapt out first, clad in black-gold combat gear with glowing red sigils stitched along his gloves. Xinyi followed, eyes glowing faintly with Eclipse energy. Yuwei took the rear, weapons humming.
"Comm silence starts now," Bai Chen ordered. "We finish this fast."
The team descended into the cavern, passing layers of long-dead architecture—statues of forgotten gods, petrified creatures that once walked the stars.
Then the temperature dropped.
Reality itself began to flicker.
Scene: Eclipse Ritual Chamber
As they entered the final hall, the energy nearly knocked them backward.
The Priestess stood at the center of the summoning circle—her body floating, hair white, eyes glowing black. Around her, Eclipse acolytes chanted in languages older than stars.
"You are not welcome here," she hissed. "But she is."
Her eyes snapped to Xinyi.
"Princess… Daughter of the Throne. Come. Awaken."
"I have already awakened," Xinyi said, stepping forward. "And I reject you."
Battle Initiated: Eclipse Acolytes vs. Star Unit
Lasers flew. Steel clashed. Eclipse hounds lunged from the shadows, their skin plated in bone-metal. Lin Yuwei carved through them like a storm, a blade in each hand.
"Too slow!" she shouted, flipping through three cultists in a blur.
Bai Chen activated Nova Pulse, slamming his palm into the stone floor. Energy rippled outward, shattering sigils and sending acolytes flying.
The Priestess screamed. "Fools! You desecrate sacred blood!"
Scene: Final Confrontation – The Obsidian Obelisk
The Obelisk roared to life. A black portal formed at its base, swirling with chaotic energy. From within… a claw began to emerge.
Xinyi charged it.
"Not today," she growled.
She leapt high, spinning mid-air. The twin Eclipse sigils on her palms flared, and with a cry, she smashed both hands into the Obelisk.
"Voidstep: Eclipsebreaker Pulse!"
A shockwave of light and dark energy exploded. The portal collapsed. The claw disintegrated. The Obelisk cracked—and then shattered into dust.

Aftermath: Capturing the Priestess
The Eclipse Priestess attempted to escape through a void gate—but Bai Chen intercepted her mid-cast, grabbing her by the throat with a gauntleted hand.
"You think shadows make you untouchable?" he snarled.
"She was meant to rule the dark!" the priestess spat.
Xinyi approached. "She chose light."
Yuwei punched the priestess in the gut. "You're coming with us."
Scene: Return to NovaVerse Citadel
The team returned to Earth victorious.
The captured Priestess was sealed in a magnetic stasis prison. The Eclipse ritual had been stopped—but they all knew it was just the beginning.

Final Scene: Bai Chen and Xinyi – Stargarden Balcony
Under a quiet night sky, Xinyi leaned into Bai Chen's side.
"I was born of darkness," she whispered.
"But you brought me into the light."
Bai Chen kissed her forehead.
"You're not just light, Xinyi. You're the blade that will cut the darkness apart."
And above them, one star flared brighter than all the others—the first sign of hope.
