Somewhere... Far from the war between Sirius, Vorthak, and Gysier...
Blood rain fell, soaking the cracked stone walls of the Legenia kingdom that had been battered by relentless attacks.
In the main courtyard of the fortress, a small family bearing the Shimatsu name fought desperately to defend their kingdom from the endless waves of Nartagia forces that crashed against them like a terrifying tide.
They refused to let the survivors hiding behind the kingdom's walls suffer the same fate as the fallen warrior Legends who fought well.
Kirasaki stood proudly at the front lines, her long black hair whipping in the wind that carried the scent of death.
Her red eyes blazed with burning fury while both hands gripped her beloved sword tightly.
Orange flames wreathed the blade, creating a fearsome silhouette in the war's mist.
"You'll never get past us!" she roared with a thunderous voice, swinging her sword skyward.
The fire magic flowing from within her body exploded outward in a wave of searing heat that incinerated five Nartagia at once.
The fictional creatures screamed in agony before their bodies melted into purple puddles that pooled on the ground.
Beside her, a black-haired man with his hair tied back, Kizaku, moved with speed almost invisible to the naked eye.
Lenergy flowed through his muscles, strengthening every strike until he could shatter stone with a single blow.
His fist, coated with life energy, pierced through a Nartagia soldier's chest, tearing his heart to pieces.
"Kirasaki! Guard the right flank!" Kizaku shouted as he leaped high and kicked the heads of three enemies at once.
His muscular frame gleamed with the red aura of Lenergy flowing from his heart throughout his entire body.
Every movement he made was calculated and lethal. Not a single motion was wasted, not an ounce of energy squandered.
This was how a true Legend fought, relying purely on raw physical power.
Meanwhile, their child, Saiya, only twelve years old, battled with a spirit no less fiery than his parents.
Though still young, the Lenergy flowing through his bloodstream was already strong enough to make each of his punches capable of crushing bone.
"Dad! Mom! I'll protect you!" he cried as he charged into the midst of the enemy swarm.
Saiya spun like a tornado, his Lenergy already enhanced both her fist slamming into a Nartagia's stomach until the creature doubled over and vomited blood.
Then with a swift movement, he elbowed another enemy's neck until the bone snapped with a sickening crack.
The three family members fought with perfect synchronization. Kirasaki burned enemies attempting to attack from long range, Kizaku crushed those who dared come closer, while Saiya cleaned up the stragglers trying to escape.
But the enemy numbers kept increasing without hitting any limit.
From the purple portals opening in the sky, more and more Nartagia rained down like a deadly shower.
Some took the form of futuristic robots with laser weapons, others resembled aliens with poisonous tentacles, and still others looked like monsters from the worst nightmares.
"There's no end to them!" Kirasaki began to pant heavily. Her fire magic had drained much of her strength.
"We have to hold on, Kirasaki!" Kizaku leaped beside her, beating back a group of war robots trying to surround them.
"Help will come sooner or later!"
"We can't let those survivors be slaughtered either...!"
But that hope was crushed when the largest portal suddenly opened directly above their fortress.
From it emerged three giant Nartagia that flew closer. Their bodies gleamed with blinding purple energy, and their eyes burned with the desire to destroy.
"What are they doing?" Saiya stared upward with a pale face.
The three giant Nartagia began spinning in the air, faster and faster. Their bodies started melting and merging into one, creating a sphere of purple energy that grew larger and larger.
A terrifying rumbling sound emerged from the sphere, like the screams of a thousand tortured souls.
"They're combining into one..." Kizaku stepped back, his instincts as an experienced warrior telling him this was an extremely dangerous threat.
The energy sphere finally exploded, and from it emerged a creature that froze the Shimatsu family in terror.
A giant Nartagia monster nearly a hundred meters tall, possessing six arms that each gripped different futuristic weapons.
Its head was like a fusion of alien and machine, with dozens of red eyes blinking around its face.
The monster landed with a thunderous crash that shook the entire fortress.
Each of its steps created craters in the ground, and its breath released poisonous gas that killed all plants in the vicinity.
"RAAAAAGGGGGHHHHHH!!!" the monster's voice echoed like the combination of thousands of different voices.
The Nartagia immediately attacked Kirasaki with one punch that she couldn't block, sending her flying backward with several bones already broken in her body.
One of the Nartagia's arms raised a plasma cannon with the size of a mountain, aiming it at Kirasaki and the kingdom behind her.
Purple energy began gathering at the cannon's tip, preparing to destroy the entire fortress in one shot.
"You insolent bastard...!!!" Kizaku immediately tried to help Kirasaki, who was still writhing in pain.
But it was too late. The monster fired its devastating plasma beam.
Kizaku leaped forward, using all the Lenergy he possessed to create an energy shield. His body blazed with blinding red light as he struggled to withstand the deadly attack.
"Dad...!" Saiya screamed seeing his father fighting alone.
Without thinking twice, the young man jumped beside his father, also channeling Lenergy to strengthen the shield.
"W-What are you doing, son...!?"
"You already told me that I must protect Mom with all cost...!" Saiya answered with a gaze full of conviction.
The two men stood side by side, father and son fighting with all their strength to protect their most important person.
But the plasma beam was too powerful. Their shield began to crack, then shattered to pieces. The deadly purple energy struck Kizaku and Saiya's bodies directly.
"NOOOOO!" Kirasaki's scream pierced the evening sky.
She could only watch helplessly as the bodies of her husband and child began burning from the terrifying alien energy.
Their skin peeled away, their flesh melted, and their bones became visible.
But what destroyed her most was their final gaze, a look still full of love and concern for her.
"Kirasaki... run..." Kizaku managed to whisper before his body was completely destroyed.
"Mom... we love you..." Saiya also spoke his last words with a smile full of blood.
The Nartagia monster laughed with a sound that echoed throughout the area.
With one motion of its arm, it threw the remains of Kizaku and Saiya's bodies toward Kirasaki. Pieces of charred flesh and bone scattered before her.
Kirasaki fell to her knees, her hands trembling as she touched the bone fragments that had once been her husband's fingers.
The fire surrounding her sword extinguished instantly, as if her fighting spirit had died along with her family.
"No... No... No...!" Kirasaki immediately began crying.
Tears that came directly from a wife and mother who had just witnessed the two people she loved most killed while protecting her.
Weak...
Weakness...
Whispered through Kirasaki's mind until she felt utterly useless.
"AAAHHHHHHHHHHHH...!!!" Kirasaki screamed in anguish while tearing at her hair until her body released a thick black aura that triggered flames to erupt around her.
"You...!!!"
"YOU...!!!" Both of Kirasaki's eyes burned with fire until her tears were replaced by blood produced with her own Lenergy.
Lenergy that burned with the fire within her body until every part of her received a surge of full power.
"HOW DARE YOU KILL MY FAMILY...!!!" she shrieked with a hoarse voice full of rage.
"I WILL KILL YOU AND ALL OF YOUR KIND UNTIL NOTHING REMAINS...!!!"
"I WILL TORTURE AND MURDER EVERY LAST ONE OF YOU UNTIL I AM THE LAST LEGEND YOU'LL SEE...!!!"
"RAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!"
