The training pitch shimmered beneath the golden glow of the holographic suns that lit Eternal Era's complex. Artificial light bent through the atmospheric field, mimicking the Helion Galaxy's twin stars a simulation prepared specifically for their upcoming match against the Solar Drakes.
The air crackled with charge as the team gathered in formation drills. Blaze stood quietly at the edge of the field, his leg wrapped in kinetic stabilizers that hummed faintly. His body felt whole, yet every muscle carried memory the sharp throb that came whenever he pushed too hard.
Jason stood at midfield, hands behind his back, eyes sweeping across his players. "Listen carefully," his voice carried firm resolve. "We've been given a chance to prove Eternal Era's name beyond our home galaxy. The Galactic Champions Tournament is not a stage for humans alone you'll be facing beings who breathe flame, channel cosmic particles, and fight through energy resonance. That's what the Solar Drakes are."
