Scene: The Mentor Lost
The battlefield had collapsed into chaos.
Void storms crackled through the shattered skies, ripping open the last threads of surviving multiverses.
Black meteors — fragments of consumed realms — fell like rain around them.
In the center of it all, Marine faced Kazuya, her old mentor, now fully possessed by the corrupted cores of Azezal.
His eyes glowed like dead stars, his voice layered with whispers.
Marine (desperate):
"Kazuya! I'm not your enemy! You trained me—
You protected me—
I know you're still in there!"
But he didn't listen.
His only answer was a blast of obsidian lightning, tearing through the ground and chasing her down.
Marine dodged.
Again and again.
She refused to strike him.
Her hands trembled with energy, but her heart wouldn't allow it.
Marine (to herself):
"If I attack… I kill what's left of him."
But Kazuya kept coming.
His blade, now a jagged scythe of corrupted time, pulsed as he charged one final blow — his most powerful yet.
The sky cracked. The ground screamed.
He launched the void blast.
Marine froze.
And then—
Kai appeared.

Scene: A Father's Final Shield
Kai threw himself between the blast and his daughter, arms wide, body exposed.
The void consumed him in one deafening surge of lightless energy.
He hit the ground.
Hard.
Smoke rose.
His body didn't move.
Marine (whispers):
"No… no…"
She ran to him — collapsed beside him, shaking.
His breathing was faint.
His eyes slowly opened.
Kai (weakly):
"I told you… to shine…"
Marine (crying):
"Why would you do this?!"
Kai (smiling):
"Because that's what fathers do."
His hand fell.
Marine's scream pierced the fabric of the broken sky.
Something inside her snapped.

Scene: The Fall of the Puppet
She stood.
Her eyes were no longer just glowing —
They were filled with starlight and wrath.
Kazuya stepped forward, still in darkness — until Marine raised her hand.
Marine (calm, deadly):
"I begged you to come back."
She didn't even need to charge a blast.
With one flick of her finger — a pure burst of Aether Essence erupted from her core, engulfing Kazuya.
Not in flame.
But in emptiness — the same way Azezal had consumed.
Only this time… it was reversal.
Kazuya vanished into the void.
---
Scene: The True Enemy Appears
Silence.
Then came the thunder.
Above the battlefield, the sky split like torn cloth.
From the tear, Azezal descended.
Not a god. Not a beast.
But everything the universe was never meant to face.
A thousand wings of shadow.
Mouths screaming galaxies.
Eyes that saw every death and every failure.
He had already consumed 90% of the multiverse.
Only a handful remained.
And now, one girl stood before him.

Scene: Daughter of Aether vs Devourer of All
Marine rose into the air.
Her spear, reforged in Elthoria, now burned with Sophie's Aether and Kai's flame.
Her aura extended beyond dimensions — planets bent to her energy.
Azezal (booming):
"You are all that remains.
I am the correction of creation.
You… are an error."
Marine:
"I'm not the end of creation.
I'm its restart."
And the battle began.
---
Scene: The Battle Across Time and Space
Azezal launched a voidstorm, black holes twisting in his palms.
Marine spun midair, slicing through them with precision, converting the dark into stardust.
He roared — and the battlefield shifted. They were now in fragmented space, pieces of dead planets floating midair.
They clashed mid-cosmos.
Marine created a planetary shield to block Azezal's shadow spear. He shattered it — but was pushed back.
She weaved light into reality, summoning pillars of time-light.
He summoned claws made of forgotten gods.
Every strike from Marine carried Sophie's gentleness.
Every block carried Kai's fury.

Scene: The Aether Spiral
Finally, Marine summoned the power she had feared her whole life:
The Aether Spiral — a technique once whispered in Sophie's voice, only achievable when balance is absolute.
She pulled light from the surviving universes, pain from her memories, and the love that never left her soul.
And with one word, she unleashed it:
Marine:
"Soularis."
The spiral erupted — a beam of light and life — hitting Azezal full in the chest.
His form cracked.
His mouth screamed in ten languages.
But Marine wasn't done.
---
Scene: The Final Words Before the End
Azezal (crumbling):
"You… have no idea what you protect.
Light always creates darkness.
You'll become me."
Marine (hovering above him):
"Then I'll carry the darkness differently.
Not to devour… but to understand."
And with her final surge — she pushed him back into the Valley of Voids, sealing it with her own Aether Core energy.
The rift closed.
The war ended.
And the multiverse… finally breathed.
