As Dark Void and his elite commanders Toxica, Hellfire, and Aquadrown strategize aboard their battleship, alarms suddenly blare throughout the ship.
A single figure, dressed in a mysterious white suit with a white mask, infiltrated their stronghold with effortless ease.
There was a large commotion in the ship. Every forces of Dark Void were terrified of the figure.
The figure stepped into the command chamber, his presence overwhelming the room with an intense aura.
"I am Mighty Fighter," he announced in a deep, commanding voice. "I've come to see if you so-called elite warriors are worthy of following me."
Dark Void, intrigued yet irritated, finally came to a decision.
"Fine, I accept it. Because I am confident of my commander's powers."
One by one, the commanders accept the duel, eager to prove themselves.
Round 1: Mighty Fighter vs. Toxica
Toxica's deadly vines and poison attacks were effortlessly dodged.
Mighty Fighter moved at blinding speed, cutting through her vines with a single palm strike, sending her crashing into the walls.
Round 2: Mighty Fighter vs. Hellfire
Hellfire unleashed a storm of lava blasts, turning the battlefield into a sea of molten rock.
Mighty Fighter walked through the flames unfazed, dodging each attack with precise footwork.
With a devastating counterstrike, he send Hellfire flying through multiple ship corridors.
Round 3: Mighty Fighter vs. Aquadrown
Aquadrown, the fastest among the three, tried to overwhelm Mighty Fighter with rapid underwater techniques.
However, Mighty Fighter predicted every move, countering with brutal efficiency.
With a final energy-infused strike, he knocked Aquadrown unconscious.
The entire battle lasted only a few minutes, and all three commanders lay defeated.
Dark Void, witnessing the complete defeat of his most powerful warriors, rose from his throne.
"Who... are you?" he demanded.
Mighty Fighter knelt slightly but with confidence.
"I am your strongest weapon," he states. "Your commanders failed against me. You need a new leader. Let me take command, and I will lead your army to total victory over Soluna."
Dark Void, though proud and arrogant, couldn't ignore Mighty Fighter's overwhelming power. His strategic mind told him that having such a warrior by his side could mean an absolute victory.
"...Very well," Dark Void declared after a long pause. "From this day forward, you are the supreme commander of my forces."
The three defeated commanders, now stripped of their status, grit their teeth in jealousy and humiliation but couldn't protest against Dark Void's decision.
With Mighty Fighter's unexpected rise to power, a new threat loomed over Soluna.
_ _ _
The atmosphere inside the command chamber was poisonous with resentment.
Toxica leaned against the wall, sharpening her venomous vines with an annoyed flick of her wrist.
Hellfire sat cross-legged, his molten body radiating heat that warped the air around him.
Aquadrown, ever composed, stood with his arms crossed, his jaw tight with silent fury.
And standing at the center of it all was Mighty Fighter - calm, unmoving, his white suit and mask immaculate.
"I want your monsters ready by tomorrow."
His voice was smooth, yet undeniably firm. It wasn't a request - it was a command.
The three commanders bristled.
"By tomorrow?" Toxica hissed. "It takes time to craft perfection-"
"You have until tomorrow."
A single glance from Mighty Fighter was enough to silence her.
Hellfire's fists clenched, his molten knuckles cracking. "We are not your underlings."
"You are whatever Dark Void needs you to be," Mighty Fighter replied coldly. "And right now, you are soldiers following my orders."
Aquadrown said nothing, but his narrowed gaze spoke volumes.
Despite their burning hatred, they obeyed.
The Next Day...
The commanders presented their creations:
Toxica's Venom Serpentina - a towering snake-like beast dripping with acidic poison, its fangs capable of corroding anything.
Hellfire's Magma Moulder - a massive creature of molten rock, flames constantly erupting from its back like a walking volcano.
Aquadrown's Abyss Shark - a monstrous aquatic shark, armored in shimmering scales with the power to summon deadly tidal waves.
The monsters roared, their combined presence shaking the battleship itself.
Yet Mighty Fighter didn't flinch.
He stared at the creatures for a long moment before speaking.
"Not strong enough."
The commanders' eyes widened.
"What?" Hellfire growled, flames flaring wildly.
Toxica's voice was a venomous whisper. "You insult us again?"
Aquadrown's teeth gritted. "These are the strongest monsters we've ever created."
Before Mighty Fighter could reply, Dark Void's booming voice echoed through the chamber.
"Then I will make them stronger."
Dark energy crackled from his fingertips, swirling with a chaotic blend of poison green, fiery red, and ocean blue.
The three monsters began to scream - their forms writhing and merging, flesh and elements twisting into a single abomination.
In a blinding explosion of dark energy, the three monsters fused into one:
The Trinity BeastA grotesque three-headed monstrosity:
The left head hissed with venom, constantly dripping acid.
The center head roared with molten fury, lava veins glowing beneath its rock-like skin.
The right head gurgled with water energy, causing whirlpools to spin at its feet.
The air itself seemed to suffocate under its unstable elemental power.
Mighty Fighter finally smiled - not a grin, just a small, satisfied smile.
"That will do."
Dark Void leaned back into his throne, satisfied. "Let's see if your precious Lunar Warrior can handle this."
Soluna's Capital...
The Trinity Beast descended upon Soluna's capital, reducing buildings to rubble and flooding the streets with lava, poison plants, and water.
People screamed and scattered - the ground splitting, the air burning, the oceans rising.
Heatsun and Moonsalt rushed to lead the Solunar people to safety - their combined Solar and Lunar powers forming barriers to hold back the flooding and flames.
Henry and Marie worked alongside them, guiding civilians away from danger, using their speed and Solar/Lunar powers to shield those caught in the crossfire.
But Rei didn't run.
She charged straight at the beast, her hatchets glowing as she transformed.
_ _ _
The battle was merciless.
The venom head struck first, spitting acid that corroded the ground - but Rei's Lunar Mirage allowed her to dodge the attack in a blur.
The magma head unleashed flaming shockwaves - Rei summoned her Lunar Shield, deflecting the molten blast just in time.
The water head created violent whirlpools - Rei used her Lunar Phantom Strikes, slicing through them mid-air.
But the beast was relentless.
With three minds working in perfect sync, it overwhelmed Rei - attacking from all sides at once.
Her illusions weren't fast enough.
Her defenses cracked.
And soon, she was almost pushed to the brink of death.
As the Trinity Beast's magma head prepared a final attack -
Jim appeared.
"You're not doing this alone."
He launched a burst of Solar energy at the beast's water head, forcing it to recoil.
Despite the crowd's distrust of his green hair - Jim still fought.
He protected those who mocked him.
He shielded those who doubted him.
And he bought Rei the time she desperately needed.
With Jim holding the beast back - Rei finally gathered her full strength.
Her body glowed with an intense Lunar aura - her blades shimmering brighter than ever before.
She focused everything into a single technique:
"LUNAR ECLIPSE STORM!"
In one swift, blinding arc -
Rei's crescent blades sliced through all three heads of the Trinity Beast.
The monster's roars fell into silence.
A final pulse of dark energy rippled outward - and then, the beast collapsed into dust.
As the smoke cleared, Solunar people stared at her.
They didn't cheer immediately - too stunned by what they had just witnessed.
But slowly -
One voice rose: "She... saved us."
Another followed: "The black Lunar Warrior... is our savior."
And finally -
The crowd erupted into cheers.
Even those who once whispered about Rei's past deeds now shouted her name.
Jim, still breathing hard, looked over at Rei and gave a tired but proud smile.
And somewhere afar -
From the shadows of a distant rooftop -
Mighty Fighter watched.
His mask concealed his face, but beneath it -
He just smiled.
"Good," he whispered. "Let's see how much stronger you can become, Rei."
And then -
He disappeared into the night.
Back in Heatsun s base after sometime, Jim announced. "I just got an important call from Commander Edward. I have to head for the mission, it's important."
Heatsun and Moonsalt stepped forward and patted him saying. "Count us in."
Jim's jaw dropped as he couldn't believe his ears.
Jim: "But...but.."
Moonsalt petted his hair. "You are our Son. We can't leave you alone no matter how good you are. It's our duty as your parents."
Heatsun gave a hard pat on his back making him choke as he said. "Plus, we want some good warm up. We can test our strength there."
Jim muttered in an hesitant tone. "Um...whatever...but... make sure not to.. become a burden because it would make me look bad."
Heatsun and Moonsalt smirked saying. "Don't underestimate us, we are the strongest couple in Soluna."
With that, the decision was made.
Jim now getting his parents as additional supports, gave a knowing glance to Rei saying. "I am leaving the fate of Soluna on your hands with Henry and Marie as your backups."
Rei said in her usual tone. "Even in your absence, I will protect Soluna with my life."
Meanwhile...
In the darkened chambers of Dark Void's baseship, the tension crackled like a silent storm.
Mighty Fighter stood at the head of the room, his white suit and mask gleaming under the faint, pulsing lights. Before him, the three commanders - Toxica, Hellfire, and Aquadrown - loomed like shadows of destruction, each burning with a desire to reclaim their glory after the humiliating loss of the Trinity Beast.
"I need one of you to face the Lunar Warrior."
His voice was calm but firm - a test disguised as a command.
But then came something... unexpected.
"We'll decide by a game of Rock-Paper-Scissors."
The commanders blinked - caught off guard by the absurdity.
"Again that game?" Toxica hissed.
"You expect us to-" Aquadrown began, but Mighty Fighter's piercing gaze silenced him.
Surprisingly, Hellfire smirked. His molten fingers cracked like burning coal as he stepped forward.
"Fine by me."
With a flick of his wrist, Mighty Fighter counted down.
"Rock... Paper... Scissors."
Hellfire chose Rock.
Toxica chose Scissors.
Aquadrown chose Paper.
The molten devil's rock fist smashed Toxica's scissor fingers into the table, while Aquadrown's hand was left hanging uselessly.
Hellfire's smile widened.
"Looks like I'm up."
The other two commanders glared at him - their hatred simmering - but said nothing.
Mighty Fighter simply gave a nod.
"Go."
"I am Mighty Fighter," he announced in a deep, commanding voice. "I've come to see if you so-called elite warriors are worthy of following me." Dark Void, intrigued yet irritated, finally came to a decision. "Fine, I accept it. Because I am confident of my commander's powers." One by one, the commanders accept the duel, eager to prove themselves.
