The Dimensional Trap:
The Obsidian Demon didn't come to fight—it came to exile. As it roared, it slammed its fist into the floor. Instead of a shockwave, a swirling vortex of purple and white energy opened directly beneath Alex and Allen.
Alex: (Looking down as he starts to sink) "A Dimensional Sinkhole? Really? This is so cliché."
Allen: (Clutching a plate of sliders) "Alex! The sliders are falling in! Save the—!"
WHOOSH.
Before the girls could even scream, the two boys vanished. The portal snapped shut, leaving nothing but a cracked floor and a terrifying silence.
The Universal Threat:
The Demon, known as Zorgon the Devourer, chuckled. His aura was so heavy that the S-Rank teachers in the room collapsed instantly. "The 'Anomalies' are gone. Now, I shall harvest this world starting with its 'Goddesses'."
The Transformation:
Evelyn and Serina stood side-by-side. The fear in their eyes was gone, replaced by a cold, murderous fury.
Evelyn: "He took them."
Serina: "He took my brother. And he took the guy who owed me a favor."
Evelyn reached into her soul. Remembering how Alex looked that day, she whispered, "Light... form the barrier." A shimmering, elegant Helmet of Pure Solar Light materialized over her head, hiding her face but leaving her glowing eyes visible.
Serina followed. "Shadows... hide the Queen." A Matte-Black Shadow Helmet, identical in shape to Alex's but more feminine, wreathed her head in darkness.
Lucian: (Fumbling in his pocket) "I don't have a cool mana-helmet! Uh... okay, this will work!" He pulled out a silk masquerade mask and infused it with his new SS-Rank purple mana. "Let's do this! For the Lord's snacks!"
The Battle of the Trio:
Zorgon lunged, his obsidian claws cutting through the air.
Serina: (Moving like a blur) "Lucian! Distract his left side! Evelyn, blind him!"
Lucian: (Using his boosted speed) "I'm on it! SS-Rank Secret Technique: Viper Strike!"
He moved so fast he looked like a purple lightning bolt, striking the demon's joints. Zorgon roared, surprised by the sudden power of a "mere spy."
Evelyn: (Floating into the air, her light-wings expanding) "Heavenly Nova!"
She unleashed a flash so bright the entire ballroom turned white. The demon shrieked, clutching his eyes.
The Teamwork:
In the darkness, Serina emerged from the demon's own shadow. She didn't use a sword; she used shadow-claws modeled after Alex's style. She ripped through the demon's back, drawing black blood.
Zorgon: "How?! You are mere humans! How do you possess the energy of the Primordials?!"
Evelyn: (Her voice echoing through her Light Helmet) "We aren't just humans. We're the ones who have to clean up this mess before they get back. If Alex sees a scratch on this floor, he'll never let us hear the end of it!"
The Dimension Gap (Cut to Alex and Allen):
In a white, infinite void, Alex and Allen were sitting on a floating rock.
Allen: (Eating a slider that he managed to save) "So... how long are we staying here?"
Alex: (Lying back with his hands behind his head) "Let's give them ten minutes. Serina needs the practice, and Evelyn needs to realize she doesn't need me to protect her every five seconds. Besides..."
Alex looked at a "viewing window" he had cracked open in the fabric of space. He saw Evelyn in her Light Helmet, fighting like a warrior goddess.
Alex: "She looks pretty cool in that helmet. I think my fashion sense is finally rubbing off on her."
Allen: "You just want to see if she'll actually finish the demon so you don't have to work."
Alex: "That too. Pass me a slider, Allen. This is a great show."
