Neo-Lumina's skyline flickered as faint ripples of residual portal energy pulsed through the city. Though the Multiverse Nexus had been destroyed, the villain was far from defeated. Across multiple dimensions, ominous signs indicated a new, far more dangerous scheme.
Kael stood atop a neon-lit skyscraper, quantum glove glowing fiercely. "Okay… last time was bad. This time… insane-level bad."
Lira hovered beside him, scanning dimensional energy with her tablet. "Multiple unstable rifts detected. But these aren't just random portals—they're traps. The villain is luring us into something bigger."
Juno sneezed, sparks scattering across the rooftop. "Traps… sneezing counts, right?"
Kael groaned. "Always counts, Juno. Always."
Suddenly, dozens of rifts opened simultaneously, but instead of shadow creatures, streams of energy tendrils shot out, weaving around the city like living chains. The villain emerged from a central portal, eyes glowing cyan, flanked by shadow generals from multiple dimensions, each stronger than before.
"This time," the villain said, voice echoing across dimensions, "I've prepared something special: the Multiversal Convergence Trap. One wrong move, and your worlds collapse into my control!"
Kael clenched his glove. "Alright… plan, upgrades, teamwork. Let's do this!"
The trio leapt into action. Kael's glove projected massive dojo walls across dimensions, forming barriers that blocked energy tendrils and trapped incoming generals. Holographic clones multiplied with precision, coordinating attacks across portals.
Lira merged her holograms with Kael's dojo, forming mobile, spinning energy fortresses that intercepted tendrils and shielded civilians. She even created holographic decoys of herself and the heroes, confusing the villain's generals.
Juno sneezed strategically, summoning mini lightning storms that struck both shadow generals and the Multiversal Convergence Trap's energy nodes. "Tactical sneezes… extreme multiverse edition!"
The villain hissed. "Impossible! How can three mortals resist my trap?"
Kael grinned. "Teamwork, improvisation… and sneezes. Always sneezes."
The heroes combined all their powers in a synchronized strike: dojo walls collided with Lira's chains while Juno's lightning dragons struck every weak point of the convergence trap.
The trap shuddered violently, energy waves rippling across multiple dimensions. Shadow generals faltered, portals destabilized, and the villain stumbled.
"No… this cannot be!" the villain shouted, retreating through a collapsing portal. "The multiverse will still fall… eventually!"
Kael panted. "Multiversal trap… survived. Mostly. Barely."
Lira hovered down, smirking. "Mostly survived. And stylishly, of course."
Juno sneezed one last time, sparks harmlessly fizzing. "Mostly counts… again."
Neo-Lumina—and multiple dimensions—was safe… for now. But the villain's schemes hinted at even greater, more chaotic challenges on the horizon.
