Zareth’s hand glowed with a dark blue aura, his power swirling ominously as he prepared to break through the Aetherstron chamber door. With a thunderous blast, he unleashed his energy against the door, but when the smoke cleared, the door remained unscathed. The trio of the Eclipse Sovereignty stood still for a moment, their expressions shifting to confusion.
Zareth growled in frustration and prepared another blast, increasing its intensity. But once again, the door showed no signs of damage.
Neraxis let out a mocking laugh, his golden fists sparking to life. “You’re not blasting it hard enough. Let me show you how it’s done.” With a dramatic wind-up, he launched a devastating punch at the door. The room shook with the force of his strike, but when the dust settled, the door was completely intact.
“It’s no use,” a calm voice interrupted.
The trio turned sharply toward the sound. From the shadows, a man in a wheelchair emerged—Captain Doran. His steely gaze and imposing presence contradicted his seated position.
Nyxara tilted her head, her crimson eyes narrowing. “And who are you?”
“The name is Doran,” he replied. “Captain of the Hand-to-Hand Combat Division.”
Zareth’s eyes narrowed at the unexpected newcomer but said nothing. Doran leaned forward slightly in his wheelchair, his tone turning matter-of-fact. “You’re wasting your energy. You’d have a better chance finding a needle in an ocean than breaking Aetherstron. And don’t think you can teleport through the shadows inside—there are no lights in the chamber. No shadows to exploit.”
He chuckled softly. “Thanks to Captain Solari and her research on your little friend, we’ve learned a lot about your tricks.”
Zareth muttered under his breath, his voice dripping with irritation. “How careless of you, Kaelus.”
Doran continued, unfazed. “We also know about your supposed immortality. It’s a shame you captured our only means of reversing it. Speaking of which—where is she?”
Zareth’s eyes flickered. “I have no idea who you mean.”
Doran let out a hearty laugh. “Don’t play dumb. Where is Queen Elara? Did you think we’d let you leave here without telling us where she is?”
“She’s dealt with,” Zareth replied coldly. “I’ll speak no more of her.”
Doran leaned back, unshaken by Zareth’s deflection. “You’ve got your priorities twisted. I’m not asking you. I’m demanding it.”
The trio laughed mockingly. Neraxis stepped forward, his fists clenched, a wicked grin spreading across his face. “And what demands are you going to make, sitting in that chair?”
Doran didn’t flinch. “You must not remember who tucked you in last time we met.”
Neraxis snarled, his grin vanishing. “Oh yeah?” With a roar, he lunged at Doran, his glowing fist aimed directly at the captain. But Doran remained perfectly still in his wheelchair, unbothered.
Before Neraxis’s punch could land, a devastating beam of light tore through the room. It struck Neraxis with blinding force, sending him hurtling into the wall behind Doran. Neraxis’s massive frame slumped to the ground as smoke rose from the point of impact.
From the shadows emerged Zeraxis Prime, his Adaptive Weapon Systems shifting and glowing as the smoke cleared. The Beam of Devastation hummed menacingly at his side.
“My apologies, Doran,” Zeraxis said casually. “I thought I’d get here faster. Hope I didn’t cause you any trouble.”
Doran waved him off. “Everything’s fine. You’re right on time.”
Zeraxis turned to Zareth and Nyxara, his expression calm but commanding. “You know you can’t get into that room. So, what’s your next move?”
Zareth stepped forward, his dark energy coiling around him like a storm. A menacing grin spread across his face as he raised his hands. “You think you’ve won? You believe victory is yours already?” His voice grew louder, more commanding. “Feel the wrath of Cosmic Gate!”
The room trembled as Zareth unleashed his ultimate ability. A massive portal, pulsating with celestial energy, tore open behind him. From its glowing depths emerged four colossal beings, each radiating an overwhelming aura of cosmic power. The very fabric of reality seemed to warp in their presence.
