Chapter 10 - The New Encounter

[ A powerful aura cuts through the noise, heavy and unsettling. Void ling rises, shadows flickering subtly around him as his expression sharpens.]

Void ling :

(Standing, his grin fading into something more serious as the aura grows stronger.)

"This isn't normal. There's something out there-- a presence. It's not just energy; it's something more."

Blaze Vortex :

(Standing as well, his flames sparking faintly as he nods.)

"Whatever it is, it's not natural. We've felt disturbances before, but this... this feels deliberate. Like it's calling us."

Seraphina Nyx :

(Her gaze sharp, her energy glowing faintly as she steps foward.)

"Then let's not waste time. If it's dangerous, we need to deal with it before anyone else get caught in the crossfire."

[Void ling Freezes Time]

Void ling steps forward, his shadows. flaring outward as he raises his hand commanding his power over time and chaos. The noise of the school faces the world slowing until everything stops entirely. Students and teachers freeze mid- motion, the wind pauses, and even the light itself seems frozen in place. Only the trio remains unfrozen, thier powers keeping them detached from the halted reality.

Void ling:,

(Smirking Slightly as he looks at the now-- paused world.)

"There. Time has been stopped. No distraction. Let's go and see what's waiting for us."

(His shadows flicker around him, restless with anticipation.)

"Seraphina, Blaze--- stay close. I've got a feeling this isn't just a random anomaly."

The trio makes their way through the frozen halls, thier footsteps, echoing in the silence. They follow the heavy aura to the old gymnasium, a part of the school rarely used anymore. The close they get, the stronger the aura becomes, pressing against them like a tangible force. Void ling pauses at the entrance, shadows swirling around him as his grin widens slightly.

Void ling:

(Raising his hand, his voice commanding.)

"COME FORTH"

As his command, his infinite shadow army rises from the Void, towering constructs of living darkness forming around him. They surge forward, thier presence adding an overwhelming energy to the already tense atmosphere.

Blaze Vortex:

(Watching the shadows assemble)

"Your army's not subtle, Void. But I'll admit-- they make one hell of an entrance. Just make sure they are ready to handle what's inside."

Seraphina Nyx :

(Her energy glows steadily as she watches Void's army form, her voice calm but resolute.)

"Your shadows are impressive, but power like this needs precision. If we're facing something strong enough to project this aura, we'll need more than brute force to win."

Void ling:

(Smirking, his voice sharpens but playful.)

"Alright. Whoever's hiding in here, you got two choices-- show yourself, or I send my shadows to find you."

As the shadows army takes position around them, the source of the aura finally makes itself known. The gymnasium begins to trembles as reality itself seems to warp and twist. A figure steps out of the darkness at the center of the gym-- a towering presence cloaked in jagged armor that radiates untamed, The aura around them flames violently, distorting space itself, it's Raizen , a being who is powerful enough to annihilate anything.

Raizen:

(Speaking calmly, his voice carrying a quiet authority.)

"Well, well. The heroes of chaos, flames, and balance. I was wondering how long it would take you to find me. And here I thought I'd have more time to prepare."

Void ling:

(Grining, shadows pulsing around him as he steps foward.)

"Cute introduction, Raizen. What's your deal? Big bad aura. Creepy name-- are you here to monologue, or do you actually want to do something?"

Blaze Vortex:

(His flames intensifying Slightly.)

"Don't underestimate him, Void. That Aura's not just for show. He's got control-- powerul, deliberate control. Whatever his intentions are, they are calculated."

Seraphina Nyx

(Her energy glows brighter.)

"Why are you here? What do you want?"

Raizen's raises his hand slowly, a faint ripple of energy emanating from his fingertips. His power isn't overwhelming or infinite-- it precisely terrifying. He Wields absolute control over energy transformation, able to reshape, amplify, or neutralize any form of energy in existence. Fire, shadows, light , balance-- all can be bent or dissolved at his command.

Raizen:

" What I want? I want to show you the truth. Your powers-- your chaos, your flames, your balance-- they're toys. Tools that can be reshaped, repurposed, or erased entirely. That's my gift: control over the essence of energy itself. And you? You will be the first to see just how insignificant you truly are."

Void ling:

"Energy transformation" Not bad. But let's see how well that holds up against the infinite void. You're not the first go try messing with my chaos, and you won't be the last."

Blaze Vortex :

"Controlled power like yours is dangerous. You're wrong if you think we're just going to roll over. Whatever you're planning, it ends here."

Seraphina Nyx

"Your control means nothing if it disrupts the balance. And if you think we're just going to roll over. Whatever you're planning, it ends here."

Raizen:

"Then let's see how far you'll go to defend it. But be warned-- the more you resist, the more I'll take from you."

Void ling:

(Grinning, shadows surging around him as his infinite army spirals towards their target.)

"Let see how fast you can handle chaos, Raizen. Shadows--- CHARGE!!

Blaze Vortex:

(Raising his hands, his flames roaring to life white-blue brilliance, his voice steady but fierce.)

"No holding back! Flames of Eternal law-BURN THROUGH HIM!"

Streams of radiant fire spiral through the air, intertwining with Void Ling's shadows as they surge towards Raizen. The Flames crackle with Cosmic energy, reshaping the space as the advance.

Seraphina Nyx:

(Her energy intensifies, glowing like a radiant sun as she steps forward.)

"Ecliptic Sovereignty-- restore balance and destroy him!!!

Raizen stands calmy amidst the chaos, his cloak shimmering faintly with energy as the combined attack approaches him. He raises a single hand, his finger outstretched, and with a sharp, deliberate motion, neutralizes the entire onslaught.

. The Shadows dissolve into wisps of harmless darkness, fading into the Void without leaving a trace.

. Blaze's Flames scatter like embers in the wind, extinguished effortlessly by Raizen's control.

. Seraphina's golden energy collapses into itself,it's balance undone dispersing harmlessly into the surrounding space.

Raizen:

(With a calm demeanor)

"Sneaky attack, deploys, flames, all these a mere attacks. Consider them futile. Show me what you got, all will be turn into dust."
