Chapter 12 - Episode 001 Preview

The story begins in a forgotten fragment of the Multiverse Fayran Cube. A place where the Multiverse's energy flowed in perfect balance. Now... silent.

On one of its 457 moons, beneath a sky drowned in shimmering stars, a warrior sat alone. Covered in blood. Breathing barely.

His body trembled, broken beyond repair, but the pain on his face had nothing to do with wounds. Tears burned in his eyes.

He had lost his entire world. Kumar stared at the endless sky, the same question echoing inside his shattered mind again and again

"Why did Lady Angel give up... without even fighting?"

A soft voice broke the silence behind him.

"Master... how long will you sit here alone with her memories? She is gone... forever. Perhaps... you should leave too."

Kumar slowly raised his head. Grief and rage collided in his eyes.

"Niko..." he whispered,"Are you telling me to let the one who killed her... go free?"

Niko immediately lowered his head.

"That is not what I meant, Master"

"Then what do you mean?"

Kumar's voice cracked, sharp and hollow.

Niko stepped forward, his voice trembling.

"Look at yourself... your body is shattered."

"If you don't stop now, you will also"

"And what about her?" Kumar snapped, "What about Lady Angel? She also"

His voice collapsed into silence.

Niko whispered, almost afraid,"Master... you forgot her final words. She said... she didn't want to kill him."

Under the cold starlight, Kumar's tears returned.

"My body..." he muttered,"I don't even have the strength to stand. Take me... to where Lady Angel rests."

Without another word, Niko opened a portal.

Blue-purple light ripped through the ground, vibrating the air itself.

They stepped through And arrived at Codarius Prime. The final resting place of the Multiverse's greatest warriors.

Ancient energy pillars touched the sky. Soft glowing lights drifted like whispers of the dead. But something was wrong.

The planet's stable energy level normally 7 dropped to 2. Alarms screamed. Guards ran. The ground trembled. Their arrival had shaken the planet's core. This disturbance was felt instantly. Lady Misha, guardian of that universe, rushed toward Codarius Prime.

Clad in golden-white armor, she looked like a celestial warrior. But when she saw them, Her eyes widened.

"Kumar? Niko? Why have you come here?"

Niko explained everything. From the beginning... To Lady Angel's death. Lady Misha stood frozen.

"If you continue releasing this much energy," she said softly,"This planet will collapse."

"Please... suppress your power."

Kumar and Niko exchanged a silent glance. And obeyed. The planet slowly stabilized. Together, they walked toward the ancient palace atop the cliff Dark, Old, Heavy with secrets.

The moment they entered, a freezing wave brushed their souls. And then they saw her.

Kumar's suppressed energy spiraled out of control.

"N-No... Master! Stop!" Niko shouted. Everything exploded. A violent blast tore through the palace. Within seconds Kumar died... by his own uncontrollable power. Niko vanished with him. Lady Misha was thrown back, gravely injured.

Hours later...

She buried Kumar beside Lady Angel. Then Reality tore open. A dark portal formed. Two figures stepped out. A boy and a girl. Their eyes burned with the same fire Kumar and Angel once carried Except now... it was pure darkness.

Aina and Sam. Children born from a future drowned in ashes. They knelt beside the lifeless bodies.

Aina gently lifted Angel's hand. Sam carried Kumar's body. One by one, they stepped back into the portal. Just before disappearing, Sam looked back At the place where their family ended. That was the end of that story... Or perhaps, The beginning of something far darker.
