The ninja was fleeing from the spot, using razor-sharp speed, but the Secret Admiral pursued him with his own supersonic velocity, intercepted him at one point, and, with Charon's help, surrounded that black shadow from all sides.The Secret Admiral swung his blue sword through the air. "Stop! Who are you? It's true that you killed Aqua-Mortis, but you cannot take the law into your own hands. Show your face!"
Stopped by the Secret Admiral, the black shadow came to a halt. As the shadow stood there, the Secret Admiral observed him with great focus. He was a ninja, dressed entirely in black from head to toe, holding a sword in his hand that gleamed like some ancient map. Without saying a word, he launched an attack on the Admiral. The ninja's speed was so extreme that the Admiral was forced to activate his cosmic shield again and again.
At that very moment, a ferocious battle erupted between the two of them. The ninja was not only skilled in swordsmanship; he also possessed magical powers. When the Admiral unleashed a cosmic blast, he transformed into smoke and reappeared behind her.
"Why are you fighting me?" the ninja's voice was heavy and deep. "I've only made your task easier. That demon was poisoning the entire Earth. Instead of thanking me, you're using your powers against me. Or could it be that you too were deceiving the people of Earth along with that demon?" the ninja said, locking eyes with the Secret Admiral as they continued to fight.
"Did I ask for your help?" the Admiral shot back, striking in return. "Even if you killed that commander and saved the people of Earth, the Secret Admiral does not take lives, nor will she allow anyone else to do so. That's why I will capture you and hand you over to the law. So tell me—who are you, and what is your true identity? Are you a friend or an enemy? Until I know the truth, I will not let you go!"
The ninja stepped back slightly, let out a strange laugh, and then said, "Friend or enemy? Time will decide that. Right now, you don't have the time to fight me… because an even greater threat is about to descend upon Earth. And perhaps, to meet you, some of your new 'friends' are already standing in line and could arrive on Earth at any moment!"
Before the Admiral could fully grasp his words, the ninja slammed a Black Gas Bomb onto the ground. A blast echoed, and thick black smoke spread in all directions. When the Admiral dispersed the smoke with her power, the ninja had already vanished from the scene.
The Admiral clenched her fist in anger, for the ninja had escaped. Yet the Secret Admiral could not understand what danger the ninja had been referring to before leaving. But she had no time to dwell on such thoughts, because across Earth, civil wars had already begun in many countries due to the severe shortage of water.
Thinking to herself, the Secret Admiral said, "I'll find out about this ninja later. First, I have to purify the water everywhere." She pushed her speed to a supersonic level. Like lightning, she reached reservoirs across the entire USA and then across different parts of the world. Using her cosmic powers, she began drawing the violet poison dissolved in the water into herself, purifying it completely.
Who was that ninja, really? What exactly is happening? Is all of this Aethna's doing? But if that ninja was working with Aethna, then why did he kill that demon? And what danger was he talking about—who is coming to Earth? the Secret Admiral wondered as she purified the last water reservoir.
But she did not know that, in truth, an unseen threat was advancing toward Earth from deep space—one that could turn into a cataclysm and unleash devastation upon the planet at any moment.
Meanwhile, in space, General Samuel observed that Aqua-Mortis had been eliminated by the Secret Admiral—but even in death, Aqua-Mortis had completed his work. Civil wars had already erupted among the people of Earth, and the Secret Admiral was fully occupied trying to contain the chaos. This was the perfect moment for Samuel and his army to strike.
"My brave warriors, the time has come! Earth's water is poisoned, their armies weakened. Humanity has played recklessly with nature, and we shall seize their natural resources and make them our slaves!" Samuel declared, addressing his forces.
At his command, Samuel's massive army boarded their ships and entered Earth's atmosphere, ready to launch a full-scale invasion. At that moment, above New York, an enormous portal tore open in the sky—so vast that it cast darkness across the entire city. From it emerged Samuel's colossal Mother-Ship. Countless alien vessels, their faces grotesque and bodies metallic, descended from the ships, swarming toward Earth.
The aliens unleashed devastation the moment they descended onto the streets of New York. Cars were hurled into the air, buildings began to crumble. By sheer coincidence, the Secret Admiral had just returned to New York. She had finished removing the poisoned water from the city's supply and was on her way back to Mexico, to the same guest house where the college students were staying.
But the instant she saw that massive ship in the sky, the Secret Admiral rushed back into the city. As soon as she looked up, her eyes widened in shock. Thousands upon thousands of enemies were descending onto Earth.
"Oh my God! Who are these beings now? And where are they coming from? Perhaps that ninja was talking about this very threat. To stop them, I'll have to destroy that ship first—because they're arriving on Earth in countless numbers," the Secret Admiral thought to herself.
The very next moment, the Admiral flew straight toward the Mother-Ship. She gathered all her power and shouted, "Cosmic Nova!" And with that cry, a massive beam of energy surged forward, striking the Mother-Ship.
The Secret Admiral struck at the ship's main engine with all her strength, but the Mother-Ship's defensive systems were incredibly powerful and fast. In reality, the ship was shielded by an invisible defensive barrier. The moment the Admiral attacked, the shield activated, releasing a terrifying Electric Pulse Blast. The shock was so intense that cracks appeared in her armor, and she was flung from the air, crashing straight to the ground.
The moment she hit the ground, thousands of aliens swarmed around her. Exhausted and with her energy waning, she braced herself—but then, as if appearing out of nowhere like a friend, the mysterious ninja suddenly stood beside her.
"Miss me, did you? Need some help?" the ninja said with a laugh, drawing his sword.
Struggling to rise, the Admiral looked at him. "You again? What do you want now? And I don't need your help," she said, irritation sharp in her voice.
"Look, we'll settle our quarrel later. Right now, you won't be able to handle all of them on your own, so whether you like it or not, I'll have to help you… By the way, last time you didn't even thank me for helping, so consider this a joint 'thank you'—for now and for last time too," the ninja said, decapitating an alien with a swift strike of his sword.
Now, side by side, they stood ready—on one side, the Secret Admiral radiating cosmic light, and on the other, the Black Ninja with his obsidian blade. The streets of New York had transformed into a colossal battlefield.
Yet, in the minds of onlookers, only one question lingered: Would the Admiral and the Ninja together be able to stop Samuel's massive army? And before this battle even concluded, would Aethna succeed in acquiring the other part of the armor hidden deep within the Arizona jungle—or would the Secret Admiral once again thwart her plan?
