In the heart of the "Seventh" Universe, the grand and imposing Luminaris Hall on the planet Stellara Prime hummed with quiet energy, a place of wisdom and power for the Seventh Vanguard and its Queen. The light streaming through the crystalline windows cast a golden tint across the polished alabaster walls, but the warmth of the hall was overshadowed by tense anticipation.
Rulers, elders, and warriors were gathered around a massive viewing screen, displaying a live feed from Xavian "Deadshot" Voss, who stood on the Universal Ring, the structure connecting all 5 universes. His transmission was steady, but his voice wavered with disbelief as he stared into the void of what should have been a familiar cosmic view.
“Impossible…” Xavian muttered, his voice carrying a mix of shock and dread.
Queen Lila, standing tall in her radiant celestial gown, leaned closer toward the screen. Her tone was resolute but tinged with urgency. “What is it? What do you see?”
Xavian’s expression darkened, his fingers gripping the edge of the viewing apparatus tightly. He exhaled sharply before delivering the unimaginable news. “I only see three universes… The Areala and Kaipo Universes are… gone.”
A suffocating silence filled the room as the weight of his words sank in. The elders of Luminaris Hall exchanged horrified glances. The members of the Seventh Vanguard froze, their faces etched with disbelief. Queen Lila’s expression remained calm but her eyes betrayed the turmoil building within her.
It was Bjorn "Stormbreaker" Thorgard who broke the silence first, his booming voice reflecting the shock and anger of the room. “How could this be possible? Who could possess the power to completely wipe out two universes? Each universe is massive, beyond comprehension. Their sizes are unquantifiable.”
Queen Lila spoke carefully, her voice commanding but calm. “What about the Universal Ring? What do you see there?”
Xavian responded hesitantly, his gaze still fixed on the void. “The Universal Ring is still present, but it cuts off into darkness where the Areala and Kaipo Universes should be. Everything beyond those points is… gone.”
Queen Lila pressed further, her tone sharp. “What aura do you sense?”
Xavian's voice turned grim. “Nothing. I can’t sense any aura in what remains of those universes.”
The room remained tense, but Xavian added thoughtfully, “If you recall, we already knew the Kaipo Universe was eventually going to be destroyed by the Eclipse Sovereignty because of that weird aura that was spreading throughout the universe. It’s safe to assume the same happened to the Areala Universe since a similar aura was also spreading throughout it.”
Leonidas "Aegis" Phobos, known for his strategic mind and unshakable resolve, chimed in. “Could Arion be behind this as well?”
One of the elders, a wise mage named Elder Isolde, furrowed her brow and shook her head slightly. “Highly doubtful. King Arion is evil, yes, but he wouldn’t dare collaborate with the Eclipse Sovereignty—a force he himself seeks to destroy.”
The tension in the room grew heavier, each member processing the implications of the news. Maximus "The Titan" Valerius, the fearless gladiatorial warrior, turned to Queen Lila and asked directly: “Queen, what is it we shall do because of this? What’s our next move?”
Queen Lila opened her mouth to respond, her celestial aura glowing faintly as she prepared to command her forces, but her words were cut off by sudden commotion outside the hall. Screams pierced the air, followed by the unmistakable sounds of steel clashing and devastating strikes landing. A wave of panic swept through Luminaris Hall as the members turned toward the doors, their senses on high alert.
The doors burst open abruptly, a frantic civilian stumbling through, their voice trembling as they shouted: “They’re here—King Ar—”
Before the civilian could finish their sentence, a swift slash of a blade cut through the air, silencing them forever. Their body fell to the ground in two halves, blood pooling as the figure responsible stepped into view.
A First Generation Sentient Swordsman stood at the threshold, a menacing smile on his face and his blade dripping with blood. His armor and aura exuding a terrifying presence that froze the room.
Bjorn was the first to react, rage flaring in his eyes as he stood abruptly from his seat and grabbed his Thunderstrike Axe from the table. “You BASTARD!”
Bjorn charged forward with incredible force, swinging his enchanted axe with precision and fury. Thunderstrike Axe unleashed crackling bolts of lightning that illuminated the room, the overwhelming energy crashing into the Sentient and sending him flying back out of Luminaris Hall. The strike left scorch marks on the polished floor as lightning arced into the night sky.

Bjorn’s weapon channels the power of lightning, enhancing his strikes with devastating electrical energy. With each swing, the axe shatters armor and electrocutes foes, unleashing bolts of lightning that arc across the battlefield. The electricity flows through the axe, amplifying its destructive force to become unstoppable against man and beast alike.
The room fell silent once more, the air charged with the lingering energy of Bjorn’s attack. Queen Lila stood tall, her voice commanding as she took charge of the situation.
“Bjorn, Leonidas, Maximus—go handle whatever is happening outside. Xavian, make your way back here as quickly as possible; we’ll need your strength. Everyone else”—she turned to the elders—“stay here. I’ll remain inside to protect you all.”
Everyone moved swiftly upon Queen Lila’s orders, their combined resolve evident as they prepared to face the chaos descending upon Stellara Prime. Bjorn hefted his Thunderstrike Axe, Leonidas readied his Aegis Shield, and Maximus gripped his gladiatorial weapons tightly as they moved toward the hall’s exit.
Xavian’s live feed flickered as he began maneuvering his way back toward Stellara Prime, his skills needed for the battle ahead. Queen Lila remained behind, her radiant aura glowing faintly as she prepared to defend the elders from whatever might breach the hall next.
