A ruined battlefield.The sky covered in black clouds, torn apart by crimson lightning slashing through the horizon like wounds carved into the very firmament.
The Clash
Inavy and Zion tear through the air at impossible speed. Shockwaves echo like colliding meteors.Even giving everything he has, Inavy can barely keep up with Zion's fury — now empowered by the darkness of Tyrus.
Zion (arrogant, red eyes blazing):"You are nothing compared to my master. You'll die here, boy."
Inavy, covered in blood, stumbles, breathing heavily.Zion appears above him — a direct strike aimed at his heart. A fatal blow.
Inavy (thought, panic rising):I… I can't dodge this…!
The Sacrifice
Then—
ZUUUUUUUM!
A flash cuts the world.The earth trembles.
Ray appears like a blue comet, blocking the strike.The impact sends him flying dozens of meters, smashing through rubble and steel pillars.
Silence falls.The entire world, watching through the aerial broadcast, holds its breath.
Inavy (screaming):"DAAAAAAAD!!!"
He runs to Ray — his father, his mentor, his hero — now fallen, bleeding, nearly motionless.
From afar, Tyrus smiles cruelly:
Tyrus:"An idiot sacrificing himself to protect something he doesn't even understand."
The broadcast shakes. The reporters in the helicopter go pale.
The journalist puts a hand over her mouth, tears forming:
Journalist:"R-Ray Stormbreak has been fatally struck! Our Hero No.1… please, don't die… the world needs you, Ray!"
On the ground, Ray wipes Inavy's tears with trembling hands — while his own fall uncontrollably.
Ray (weak, breaking voice):"Inavy… I'm sorry…I only wanted to protect you, my son…Remember… daddy will always love you…"
Inavy's pupils contract.
Inavy (primordial scream):"DAAAAAAAAAAD!!!"
The scream shatters the air.The clouds twist violently.The broadcast cameras explode.
A crimson and black light descends from the sky like divine judgment.
The Descent of Chaos
Inavy rises slowly. His body trembles.His hair grows straight, dark, streaked with glowing white.His eyes deepen — red as ancient blood.
A voice echoes across the entire world:
Ancestral Voice:"The Warlord has returned."
Nion awakened.Not as a spirit.But fully incarnated.
He lifts Ray's lifeless body with reverence.
In a blink — he appears before Lorien, Rose, Diana, Kelvin, Darius and the other heroes.
Rose collapses.Diana falls to her knees.Kelvin sinks to the ground, vomiting from shock.
Darius (trembling):"Th-This is a mistake… it can't be…"
Lorien tries to stay firm, but a tear escapes.
Nion looks at him.
Nion (solemn):"Take care of him, Bearer of Light… He was a great man."
Lorien (desperate):"Wait… please!"
But Nion vanishes.
Lorien kneels beside Ray, remembering the old Guild of the Thousand Lights — Ray, Kai, Diana, and himself training together, laughing, dreaming.
Lorien (broken voice):"They already took Kai from me…Now my sensei…"
For the first time, his mask of confidence shatters.He is destroyed.
The Dance of Destruction
Back at the battlefield, Zion trembles.
Zion (terrified):"T-This aura… it's the same as my master's…"
Nion raises his hand.
The sky cracks.A colossal seal breaks.The true form of the Blade of Chaos descends.
Nion (dark smile):"Ten thousand years, Tyrus… I can feel you, foolish little brother."
Cut to: a shadowy dimension.Tyrus watches, grinning, holding the Spear of Destiny.
Tyrus (laughing):"We'll meet soon, brother. And I'll kill you with my own hands, creature of Yon."
Cut back to Zion — barely able to breathe.
Nion:"Scared, Zion?"
Zion can't answer.
Nion lifts the blade.
Nion:"Let's dance."
Massacre
Even miles away, the heroes feel Nion's aura — suffocating, absolute.
Lorien (pale):"That… wasn't Inavy. It was something much greater. Something monstrous."
Diana:"Chaos… has awakened…"
Zion tries to attack, unleashing black energy.But Nion nullifies everything — as if it were dust.
Humiliation.Every strike Nion lands creates massive craters.
Zion feels his soul burn.
Zion (thought):This is… Chaos…
Nion walks through the flames, smiling coldly.
Zion (shaking):"Wh-Who are you…?"
Nion:"Your master knows exactly who I am.But you may call me… Chaos."
He raises his hand — red and black energy swirling.
Nion:"Thunder Spear?I prefer my own name…"
VOID LANCE — Primordial Aura Burst.
He throws it.
The attack pierces Zion.His soul screams.The city is obliterated.
Silence.
Nion:"It is done. Return now, boy."
His body glows. His eyes close.
The Return of Inavy
Inavy awakens on the ground, surrounded by destruction.
Inavy (horrified):"…Dad…"
Diana, Rose, Darius, and Lorien arrive — carrying Ray's body.
Inavy collapses to his knees, breaking apart.
Inavy:"…D-Dad… DAAAD!!!"
He screams so loud the air vibrates.He vomits from emotional agony — something impossible to bear.
Rose rushes to him, holding him tightly.
Rose (sobbing):"He's gone… but you honored him… you saved us… thank you, Inavy… thank you…"
Inavy clings to her, trembling.
Lorien looks at Ray, silent tears falling.Diana covers her mouth, crying.Darius tries to be strong — fails.
The Fall of Kelvin
While everyone grieves, Kelvin — wounded, pale — disappears on his own.
Extra Scene — The Dark Truth
A dark alley.Rain.
Kelvin leans against a wall, trembling.
Voices torment him:
"You should've been stronger.""He died because of you.""You failed."
Kelvin (screaming):"SHUT UP! I… I didn't want this!"
Footsteps.A shadow approaches.
Red eyes.Devouring aura.
Tyrus.
Tyrus (cruel smile):"You didn't want this… and yet it happened."
Kelvin turns, pale.
Kelvin:"…You…"
Tyrus:"Ready to face the truth, boy?"
