In Another Timeline
In the Future
A vast throne room stood in silence—
dark, grand, and suffocating.
At its center, seated upon a towering throne, was Leo.
His presence alone bent the atmosphere around him—
a king who had long surpassed the limits of power.
Footsteps echoed across the cold floor.
Capricorn entered, accompanied by his subordinates.
Without hesitation—
they knelt.
"King Leo…"
"We have brought our report."
Leo rested his chin against his hand, his golden eyes half-lidded.
"Speak."
Capricorn lowered his head.
"We have successfully identified their timeline."
A brief pause.
"There is only a two-year gap between our time… and theirs."
Leo's gaze sharpened slightly.
"I see…"
Capricorn continued.
"Furthermore, I was unable to detect the presence of any Zodiac within that timeline."
His voice grew more certain.
"Which leads me to believe… that they have successfully prevented the Zodiac Fragment Vessels from releasing the Zodiacs within that timeline."
Silence fell.
Then—
A faint smile appeared on Leo's lips.
"Well done, Capricorn."
"You've done well."
Capricorn bowed deeper.
"Thank you, my king."
Leo slowly rose from his throne.
The air trembled.
"We must reach the past… as soon as possible."
Capricorn hesitated.
"There is… one problem."
Leo glanced at him.
"To travel across time, we require either Dark Magic… or Light Magic."
For a moment—
silence.
Then—
Leo let out a quiet chuckle.
"I've already thought of that."
A sinister smile spread across his face.
"There is someone… who will do that for us."
Meanwhile…
In Ken and Lucy's Timeline
Far above the world—
beyond the reach of ordinary beings—
the moon hung silently in the night sky.
But within it—
something stirred.
A presence.
No…
Two.
A sealed force, long forgotten, began to awaken.
Cracks of unseen energy spread across the emptiness.
And from within—
two entities opened their eyes.
Beings that carried nothing but—
calamity…
and chaos.
And somewhere in the distance—
fate had already begun to move.
