The city lay in ruins. Skyscrapers were reduced to twisted steel, fires burned across streets, and the screams of terrified civilians echoed through the rubble. Obsidian's Phase Three had left devastation in its wake, and the pressure on Mikey and Jin was greater than ever.
Mikey's Phantom Tempest radiated raw energy, his fists glowing with the culmination of all his training and secret techniques.
Jin's Wrath Mode pulsed beneath his calm exterior, his father's teachings and Copy ability now perfectly integrated.
They knew: this fight wasn't just about defeating Obsidian—it was about surviving, saving what remained, and preventing further destruction.
Clash of Titans
Obsidian descended from the shadows, his Shadow Step, Phantom Clones, and Void Flow in full effect.
His strikes were calculated to maximize chaos, targeting structures and forcing Mikey and Jin to make split-second decisions between offense and protecting civilians.
Mikey unleashed Tempest Flow, dodging debris and strikes, each punch carving through Obsidian's clones.
Jin used Mirror Flow + Pure Taekwondo, copying Obsidian's attacks and countering with lethal precision.
Yet Obsidian's Obsidian Eclipse threatened to end them both, a move designed to obliterate everything around him while keeping Mikey and Jin in lethal range.
Turning Point
Mikey glanced at the ruined city, civilians trapped under debris, and clenched his fists. Phantom Tempest unlocked a new mode, increasing speed, precision, and destructive force.
Jin, sensing Mikey's surge, released Wrath Mode fully, aura flaring, combining all copied techniques for the first time.
Together, their combined force overpowered Obsidian's Eclipse, countering speed, clones, and momentum in a perfect synchronized strike.
Emotional Weight
Despite their victory, the damage was done:
The city lay in ruins.
Innocent lives had been lost or injured.
The weight of responsibility pressed on Mikey and Jin—power alone couldn't prevent suffering.
Obsidian was defeated, his body and strategies neutralized, but his legacy of destruction would haunt them.
Closing Moment
Mikey and Jin stood amid the wreckage, bruised and exhausted.
Mikey whispered, voice heavy: "We saved some… but it still hurts."
Jin nodded, aura fading: "We'll rebuild. And we'll get stronger… so nothing like this happens again."
The city's skyline burned orange from the fires, a grim reminder of what true power and chaos could do, even to heroes.
