The Innocent Facade
The city is recovering, and Mikey and Jin are patrolling, unaware that someone is observing them.
A seemingly harmless girl appears among the civilians, helping rescue trapped citizens and earning their trust.
She talks gently, smiles innocently, and even thanks Mikey and Jin for their heroism.
"You two are really something," she says, voice soft. "It's nice to finally see some real heroes."
Mikey and Jin let their guard down, focused on saving others, unaware that she's studying their movements, fighting styles, and tactics.
The Reveal
As Mikey protects a group of civilians from Blitz and Grave, the girl suddenly disappears and reappears atop a nearby building, her aura shifting.
Shadows swirl around her as her expression turns cold and calculating.
"Such naive heroes… do you really think you can stop me?"
Nightshade reveals her true identity, activating Shadow Mirage and coordinating Blitz, Grave, and Vex.
Battle Ignites
Mikey and Jin are immediately thrown into chaos, facing illusions, acrobatics, and brute strength.
The team's coordination forces them to split attention: protect civilians, counter illusions, and engage enemies directly.
Mikey unleashes Phantom Tempest, Jin activates Wrath Mode + Mirror Flow, but Nightshade watches, smiling, having anticipated their moves while disguised.
