Chapter 13 - 12.“Graduation and the Fall”

🎓 Scene 1 – The Graduation

The sky over U.H.A. Academy was clearer than ever.

Six years since the monster era began.

Four since Cam vanished again.

Brian and his team stood at the center of the courtyard.

Clad in new gear. Bodies matured. Spirits sharpened.

They were no longer students.

They were legends.

And yet…

Brian didn't smile.

---

Hayk had tears in his eyes.

Declan saluted with his armored hand.

Alcino and Niko cracked jokes about who would beat who in a real fight.

Kendall watched from across the hall, a silent nod of respect passing between her and Brian.

David hovered above them, light blazing under his feet. "We did it," he whispered.

Brian only nodded.

He had already done something bigger.

🧪 Scene 2 – The Secret Upgrades

Over the past year, Brian enhanced each of them in secret. Not with flashy shows — but small nudges of Infinity.

He bent the rules of growth around their souls.

David's strength could now bend mountains. He was strong enough to redirect missiles with a clap.

Hayk could manipulate energy patterns on a continental scale.

Niko and Alcino could breach sub-dimensions with speed.

Declan could summon orbital weapon platforms with thought.

Kendall… had gravity cores so dense, time glitched around her.

He gave them these tools — quietly.

Because he knew the day would come when he'd have to stop holding back.

⚔️ Scene 3 – The Earth Reclamation: Zawgs Association

The world wasn't quiet.

It never was.

The monsters were worse than ever — some evolved, some intelligent.

That's when Zawgs happened.

An elite, almost mythical group of superhumans and ancient powerholders came together. The Zawgs Association formed from the strongest remaining heroes on Earth.

And leading them?

The United States' #1 Hero.

A man without a name.

Only called "Prime."

He stood on a warship above the last clean city.

And he said:

> "The Earth is no longer for monsters. It's ours."

Behind him: over 300 alliances, legions of spirit soldiers, and elite human champions.

The invasion began.

👼 Scene 4 – The Fall from the Sky

They reached the central corrupted zone.

Thousands of monsters fell. Cities were retaken.

Hope returned.

Until...

The sky split.

A light so pure it burned darkness itself poured down.

Wings unfolded.

Voices sang in reverse.

A Duché descended.

A Duke-Grade Archangel — ancient, celestial, and angry.

Its arrival erased a continent's worth of radar.

Its sword ignited the oceans.

Its first word ended ten thousand lives:

> "This planet has broken balance. Rebirth is required."

---

💀 Scene 5 – The Destruction of Hope

Prime was the first to charge.

And the first to fall.

Not killed — erased. A perfect slice of light took his body into another dimension.

The Zawgs scattered.

No one could touch the Duché.

Brian activated full Infinity.

His power shook the stars.

He punched the Archangel.

It didn't move.

It whispered back:

> "Imitation Infinity… is still finite."

Brian was blasted through ten warships and crashed into the Earth's mantle.

---

The team gathered, burned, broken.

Even David, now barely standing.

They had never known defeat.

Until now.

🌑 Scene 6 – The Shadow Appears

A single figure walked calmly through the battlefield.

Dark mist followed.

Void bled from his fingers.

And as the dust settled—

The Duché froze.

A portal opened in its blade.

And a voice, smooth and cold, said:

> "You've touched what belongs to the Void. You've made a mistake."

Aiden stepped into the light.

His eyes weren't human.

He didn't just walk through fear.

He was fear.
