Inside his baseship, swirling with dark energy, Dark Void loomed over a glowing projection of Soluna, his crimson eyes burning with malice. The planet Soluna, smoldering from his recent attack, remained a battlefield, but now the White Solar Warrior had revealed himself.
With a flick of his hand, Dark Void summoned Commander Sunburn who stormed into the chamber, his heated orange armor flickering like an eternal blaze. His expression resembling a malicious fiery presence, only fueled his aggressive aura.
Before Sunburn could speak, Commander Moonsalt appeared as well - a chilling presence wrapped in dark blue armor, her long blue hair flowing like liquid ice. Her expression was as cold as her name.
"I will send a monster to deal with the Solar Warrior," Moonsalt declared, her voice like a frozen whisper.
Dark Void's smile thinned, a flash of annoyance crossing his face.
"Patience, Moonsalt," he said, his voice a low growl. "It is Sunburn's turn."
Sunburn's grin stretched wide as he shot Moonsalt a smug glance.
"Looks like luck is on my side today," he sneered. "Let me show you a monster crafted to reduce Soluna to rubble."
A loud metallic clunk echoed through the room as Robo-Kamen emerged from the shadows - a tall, armored figure with black metal covered body and an emotionless mask like face. His job was simple: crafting monsters according to the commanders' designs.
The projection before Dark Void shifted, revealing a towering, monstrous form - a creature of stone and metal, with massive boulder-like limbs and glowing red cracks running along its body. Its every movement rumbled like an earthquake, and each step shattered the ground beneath it.
"Behold!" Sunburn roared. "The Boulder Beast! My masterpiece of destruction!"
Robo-Kamen's voice was flat and mechanical.
"Monster created according to Commander Sunburn's specifications. Enhanced with core magma energy for maximum destructive power."
Dark Void's lips curled into a pleased smirk.
"Good. Let it loose."
With a wave of his hand, the Boulder Beast was launched toward Soluna in a swirling black portal - its deep growls echoing even through the void of space.
Sunburn turned to Moonsalt, his eyes gleaming with pride.
"Looks like your monster will have to wait," he teased. "Try not to cry when mine crushes that white haired brat."
Moonsalt's icy gaze didn't falter, but the faintest twitch of her eyebrow betrayed her irritation.
Back on Soluna...
The air was calm - too calm. The sky, though still scarred with smoke from the recent battle, was silent for now.
But Tim - the newly crowned Solar Warrior - wasn't standing guard or patrolling the area like a protector of Soluna should.
Instead... he was leaning against a broken pillar, casually tossing a small rock in the air and catching it repeatedly.
His Solar Saber was lazily propped against the rubble beside him, and his once-glowing armor had dimmed back to a simple, light training form.
"Y'know... after all that fighting, I think I earned a break," Tim muttered to himself, a faint grin creeping onto his face.
A sharp, booming voice shattered the quiet.
"Tim!"
Heatsun appeared from the smoke, his face a mask of stone-like seriousness.
His golden armor gleamed despite the dirt and debris coating the battlefield.
"Is this how the savior of Soluna acts?" Heatsun's voice thundered. "Slacking off after one victory?"
Tim flinched, his rock dropping unceremoniously to the ground.
"I-I wasn't slacking off," he stammered, scrambling to stand upright. "I was... uh... meditating."
"Meditating?" Heatsun's glare hardened. "With a rock?"
Tim chuckled nervously, running a hand through his white hair.
"You said warriors need to sharpen their minds... so... rock-throwing sharpens my reflexes?"
The silence that followed was deafening.
Then - a soft laugh broke through.
It was Henry - his tall frame leaning casually against a nearby wall, his golden-yellow hair tousled in a carefree way. His arms were crossed, but his smile was wide.
"Meditating with a rock... classic Tim," Henry chuckled. "You've really mastered the art of nonsense."
Beside him, Marie - the Lunar woman with flowing blue hair and a gentle yet mischievous smile - giggled along.
"He's got a point, though," Marie added. "Maybe Tim's on to some new, groundbreaking combat technique."
Tim's cheeks burned.
"Oh, you're both really helpful," he muttered, shooting them a playful glare.
Heatsun, however, wasn't laughing.
"This isn't a game, Tim," he said sharply. "Dark Void is out there, watching. He's not going to wait for you to 'meditate' with rocks. He'll strike again - and harder."
Tim's smile faded. He knew Heatsun was right.
Before he could respond, though -
The ground began to tremble.
A deep, distant rumble echoed across Soluna, like thunder rolling beneath their feet.
In the distance, a massive figure began to emerge from a swirling black portal in the sky - its form colossal and menacing.
Before Sunburn could speak, Commander Moonsalt appeared as well - a chilling presence wrapped in dark blue armor, her long blue hair flowing like liquid ice. Her expression was as cold as her name.
