Kevin's voice cut through the chaos.
"Why are you attacking the city, Mr. Joe? We had a pact. we were supposed to fight the Sky Whale together!"
But Joe only grinned beneath his dragon mask. "I don't know what you're talking about. Soldiers, crush them all!"
At his command, his troops surged forward like a tide of madness.
Kevin turned to his team, raising a glowing hand. "Take them down. but don't kill. Just disable them!"
Joe laughed. "Still so arrogant, boy. You think mercy is strength? You'll regret that."
Without warning, Joe dashed toward Kevin with ferocious speed.
Kevin met his charge, bursting forward like a beam of light, but Joe raised a hand and parried it with ease.
"You can match my speed?" Kevin narrowed his eyes.
Joe grinned. "No… you're just too slow!"
His fist collided with Kevin's chest, sending a shockwave through the air and knocking Kevin backward.
