Scene: Return to the Main Hall. The Secret abyss collapsed behind them and Void ling and Blaze were snapped back into the present. The throne halls hummed--noiseless, expectant. Nox, Ryuu, Ryder and Zephyr stood waiting.
Zephyr:
(Eyes bright)
"Welcome back, my lord."
Void ling:
(Calm, focused)
"Zephyr--about bringing Ultimate Zero and Eclipsera back."
Zephyr:
(Hipe flaring)
"Yes?"
Void ling:
(Flat certainty)
"I will bring them back now."
The four ariybd him froze; their faces drained then widened. Ryder Ramiris spoke.
Ryder:
(Stammering)
"What?! But--my lord...Ultimate Zero and Eclipsera..."
Ryuu:
(Low)
"This can't be real."
Nox:
(Urgent)
"You'll do it, my lord?"
Void ling:
(Nods, once)
"Yes."
Zephyr:
(Bowing, desperate)
"My lord, won't that mean traveling all the way back in time?"
Void ling:
(Smiling like a blade)
"Nope. Not necessary. I have the power now. Is by saying a word..."
Everyone's breath left them. And then Ryuu spoke.
Ryuu:
(Whispered)
"A word...?"
Blaze:
(Grinning, unable to hide joy)
"I can too--bring Eclipsera--then Void ling brings Zero back."
Zephyr and Nox erupted into unrestrained gratification. And then both spoke with unison.
Zephyr & Nox:
(Happy in unison)
"Thank you, my Lord! Thank you!!!"
Void ling:
(Serene)
"No problem. Now--shall we start?"
They all nodded. The plan moved like a knife through air. 🌿Scene: The Astral Garden Summons. Void ling contacted the Belhemoth: and then Void ling spoke.
Void ling:
(Commanding)
"Thalorien--your people should be at the Astral Garden. Bring everyone."
Thalorien:
(Bowing)
"Right away, sire."
Moments later the garden filled: Primordial Belhemoth standing like carved weather--Thalorien, Storm, Rexius, Nara, Glaciana among others. The assembled crowd bowed instinctively. As Void ling stood there.
Blueius:
(Curious, arms folded)
"My Lord, what are we here for?"
Nara:
(Eyes bright)
"Yes--what's happening?"
Void ling turned to Blaze, checking once. And then spoke.
Void ling:
(Quietly)
"Blaze--are you ready?"
Blaze:
(Steady)
"I am."
Both inhaled as if to strike a god. And then The WORD:" REALITY" They spoke together.
Void ling & Blaze:
(In unison, voices that split outer space)
"REALITY!!!"
The single syllable hit the multiverse like a command. Air folded like paper. Time buckled; threads of casualties fluttered. The multiverse--dozens, thousands of realities--shuddered under the name. Silence after the thunder. From the ripple--figures uncoiled into beings.
Ultimate Zero and Eclipsera stood in the Astral Garden. Alive. Materialized as if plucked back from oblivion. All Surbordinates and even the citizens froze. Shock, joy, disbelief carved across faces. Only Void ling and Blaze remained composed.
Eclipsera:
(Dazed, voice thin)
"King of Void...King of Destruction?"
Ultimate Zero:
(Struggling to orient)
"Am I...alive? King of Shadows and King of Destruction? What is...happening?"
Zephr:
(Stagger, voice cracked)
"Master...you're alive?"
Ultimate Zero:
(A flash of recognition)
"Zephyr...?"
Zephyr:
(Tears, stumbling forward)
"Master---"
Void ling:
(Cutting, cold gentle)
"No--Zero, he is my surbordinates now."
Ultimate Zero:
(Confusion warping to suspicion)
"What am I doing here?"
Void ling:
(Smirked)
"Nox and Zephyr asked for you to be revived."
Blaze:
(To Eclipsera,blunt)
"You serve Void ling now, right?"
Eclipsera:
(Bowing, voice hollow but firm)
"I have no choice. You both killed me years ago--and now that you revived me. I will to serve you for eternity. Am at your service, My Greatness Void ling sama."
Blaze:
(Deadpan)
"Serve me too."
Eclipsera:
(Deadpan)
"Eh...you are too useless."
Void ling's gaze dropped to Ultimate Zero. And he spoke.
Void ling:
(Serious)
"Zero--will you serve me, now that you've been returned?"
Ultimate Zero:
(Measured)
"What will I gain if I serve you for eternity?"
Void ling:
(Offering)
"Greater power."
Ultimate Zero:
(A slow curve to his mouth)
"Then I will serve you, Void ling sama."
Everyone exhaled as if the world had returned its color. As Zero has accepted it.
🛑The Organization: The Damniation Circle. Void ling turned to the gathered sovereigns and declared.
Void ling:
(Decree)
"Zero and Eclipsera--your groups shall be named: THE DAMNATION CIRCLE."
Eclipsera:
(Eyes narrowing, studying faces)
"Who are these people, my lord?"
Void ling;
(Sweeping hand, formal)
"They are all my subordinates..."
Rexius:
(Curious)
"My lord, will they be part of our group?"
Void ling:
(Shaking his head)
"No. They will be in a different group "
Void ling:
(To Zero and Eclipsera)
"You two are the seed. The Damniation Circle will be six. We need four more."
Ryder:
(Offering)
"Xerion Shadow could be an option to join."
Ryuu:
(Dry humor)
"At this point we are recruiting all villains."
Blaze:
(Proud, excited)
"That way our nation becomes untouchable--different shades, different strengths. Void ling, am sensing three girls far away from the Kingdom."
Void ling:
(Eyes closed. And then sensed)
"I know. I can sense their energies. There are three girls as well--potential additions. But for now--Xerion is our topic."
The Astral Garden hummed with possibility and dangerous. The Damniation Circle had a name, a seed, and the promise of a battered future remolded. The Belhemoth watched, shifting the tectonic plates. Surbordinates whispered, allies and rivals alike recalculate their loyalties.
Void ling:
(Quiet, almost to himself)
"It's done."
Blaze:
(By his side, grin returning)
"Let them come."
🗺Scene: The Plan. Void ling went and stood at the balcony--His silhouette cut the dusk like a blade. And then spoke.
Void ling:
(Calm, decisive)
"Now...this is the plan. Reixus, Zero, and Blaze--follow me. We'll go to that nation. We don't know it's name yet, but we'll find what's happening."
Blaze:
(Alert, ready)
"My lord..."
Void ling:
(Turning)
"What is it, Blaze?"
Blaze:
(Frowning)
"It appears those girls are fighting--but some innocent woman is involved."
Void ling:
(Eyws narrowing, voice low)
"I can sense it too...We cannot ignore that."
Reixus:
(Bowing, cautious)
"My lord--would it be alright if Ultimate Zero and I go together, and leave the rest to remain here?"
Void ling paused- and then nodded. And then spoke.
Void ling:
(Decisive)
"Alright. You two may go. But bring back reports. And--if possible--recruit them and bring them here to our nation."
Ultimate Zero:
(Cold smile, bowing)
"It will be delivered, Void ling-sama."
Rexius and Zero vanished-thin as breath. 📜Scene: Kingdom Notices. Void ling sent a formal notice across the Astrak Network--Announcements for the return: Ultimate Zero, Eclipsera, and the founding of the Damniation Circle.
Blaze:
(Surprised)
"You sent a notice to every kingdom?"
Void ling:
(Deadpan)
"Yes. Because am lazy to go to the crowd and introduce them."
The message blinked into every kingdom sovereign floating screen. 🔥Scene: Phoenix Wrath Kingdom Reaction.
Queen Celeste:
(Hands on hips, stunned)
"What?! They're back?"
Lucas:
(Concerned)
"What's wrong, my Queen?"
Celeste:
(Sharp, worried)
"Ultimate Zero and Eclipsera...returned."
Levi:
(Aghast)
"Impossible!!!"
Aurora:
(Voice small)
"How...?"
Yuuto:
(Smirk slow and dangerous)
"Lord Void ling brings whom he wants, and when he wants."
Across the Kingdoms--chaos rippled. Other Kingdoms. As their reactions.
Chaos Shadows: Murmurs of dread.
Phantom Alliance: Stunned silence.
Hexagram Apex, Genesis Squad: Council convened immediately. In the Genesis Squad Kingdom.
King Kaito:
(Resigned. Composed)
"It is his decision. I respect it."
Akira:
(Soft)
"Same."
Yuki:
(Quietly)
"Let be alert then."
🍚Scene: Quiet Evening in the Lingholdhouse. At Aria and Xun's home-- A humongous House--and against larger tides-Blazion and Clara played under the watch of Seraphina.
Seraphina:
(Smiling, gently)
"Lower your voices, guys."
Aria & Xun:
(Playing games)
"Sorry, Mom."
Blazion:
(Cheap grin)
"Auntie Seraphina--What are we eating tonight?"
Clara:
(Tsk, proper)
"Blazion, that's not respectful."
Seraphina:
(Laughing)
"It's alright."
Seraphina:
(Soft, pleased)
"Tonight--yellow rice and Phoenix chicken."
Blazion:
(Eyes sparkling)
"Sounds delicious!!!"
🔎Scene: Scouts in Motion. Rexius and Ultimate Zero Moved like shadows through continental corridors--Silent, efficient,eyes calibrated for danger.
Reixus:
(Low)
"Zero--stay sharp. If these three girls are in danger, the situation will be messy."
Ultimate Zero:
(Cold amusement)
"Messy is a way to find strength."
They moved toward the region Void ling sensed--streets, alleys, hidden battlefields--an unknown name on the map and violence in the air. And then they paced themselves. So fast that, the fabric of Realities completely fractured like a paper.
⚡️Closing Beat.... Back at the Astral Garden, the great and small prepared. The Damniation Circle had roots now--two returned, others to recruit, alliances shifting like tectonic plates. The multiverse hummed: invitations, sent, scouts moving, kitchens cooking, and a quiet household Laughing in the dusk.
Void ling:
(To himself, quietly. And sitting on throne)
"Let them test the world. We will answer accordingly."
