Kai stepped into the main chamber.
Red light flickered across the walls.
Zara was at the center, her restraints still holding her, but her eyes followed him, full of hope.
The Dragon leader stood beside her, calm, almost smiling.
"So… the famous masked fighter comes to save her," he said, voice cold.
Kai's eyes narrowed, glowing faint red.
"I didn't come to talk," he said.
The leader laughed softly.
"You'll have to go through me first."
Instantly, the air changed.
Power radiated from the Dragon leader, stronger than anyone Kai had faced at Nova High.
Axel tensed beside him.
"This guy's different," he muttered.
Kai smirked slightly, tightening his fist.
"I like different."
The Dragon leader moved first.
A wave of energy surged forward, knocking Axel back against the wall.
Kai didn't flinch. He stepped forward, one hand behind his back.
BAM!
He countered with a single punch, sending the leader flying across the room.
"Not bad…" the leader said, standing up quickly.
"You still don't know my full power," Kai replied, voice low, dangerous.
Another strike, faster this time. The leader dodged barely, realizing Kai wasn't holding back.
Zara watched, her hope building as Kai demolished every attack with precision and power beyond human limits.
"You're reckless," the leader said, summoning multiple Dragon members to attack at once.
Kai's eyes flashed red.
"Then I'll make it quick."
With one swift motion, he sent every attacker crashing into walls, unconscious.
The chamber fell silent.
Zara's eyes widened.
"…Kai…"
The leader's expression turned serious, no more amusement.
"So… this is him," he muttered.
Kai walked toward Zara, calm, collected, yet terrifying.
"I'm taking her," Kai said.
The Dragon leader smirked faintly.
"You'll have to go through me—and we don't play fair here."
Kai's smile was cold.
"Good. I wouldn't want it any other way."
The final battle was about to begin.
And no one in the Dragon organization would survive his wrath.
