Blaze Trigger – Chapter 1: Sparks of Destiny
The city of Aetherion lay quiet at dawn. The streets shimmered in sunlight, but the calm was fragile.
Ryo Kazenaga Shinrai crouched on a rooftop, yellow hair whipping, black armor gleaming. His Seishin Blade was ready.
Ryo: "Hah… too quiet."
A crack echoed below. Shadow fiends emerged, glowing red-eyed and twisted.
Ryo leapt down.
Ryo: "You picked the wrong morning."
He swung his sword; sparks flew as the fiends disintegrated.
From above, a figure dropped—Ayame Kurogane, purple hair flowing, twin daggers ready.
Ayame: "Left!"
Ryo: "Got it."
Ayame: "Careful. Don't underestimate them."
Ryo: "Underestimate? Never."
The ground shook violently. A dark portal opened. Kaizen Vorath stepped out, white hair slicked back, one red, one black eye.
Kaizen: "So eager to fight."
Ryo: "Tch… who invited you?"
Kaizen: "I didn't."
The heroes charged.
Ryo: "Let's end this."
Ayame: "Together."
Shadow spikes shot from the portal. Ryo's blade crackled with lightning.
Ryo: "Thunder strike!"
The shadows were obliterated—but Kaizen remained untouched.
Kaizen: "Is that all?"
Ryo: "You're about to find out."
The city trembled. Lightning, shadows, and raw power collided.
From a high vantage point, a new presence watched—Rylan Ardentis, amber eyes glowing.
Rylan: "They've awakened him. The real fight begins now."
The sun was swallowed by shadow. Sparks of destiny ignited.
