Chapter 19 - 18.“Through the Veil”

🌌 Scene 1 – Beyond Earth

Brian hovered in the thermosphere — above satellites, above the atmosphere.

Stars flickered, but his red eyes glowed brighter.

Declan's voice echoed in his comms:

> "You're going too far. We don't have tracking past Mars—"

Brian crushed the device with his hand.

He whispered to himself:

> "He's still out there."

He reached into Infinity.

And folded reality.

🚀 Scene 2 – Chase Across Galaxies

He broke past the dimensional boundary — a cosmic tunnel of swirling data, stars, and spirit-blood plasma.

Across three galaxies, he followed Cam's lingering power — invisible to normal life, but carved into space like claw marks.

Suddenly—

A pulse.

Cam, somewhere far, used his Void Palm again — not to kill… but to move.

Brian felt it.

Infinity screamed inside him.

> "NOW."

Brian soared at speeds unmeasurable, slamming through cosmic membranes until he broke through to a forbidden zone — one that Earth's strongest had never reached.

There stood Aiden, waiting like a guardian of hell.

⚔️ Scene 3 – The Interception

Aiden wore full void armor — darker than space, sharper than light.

> "He told me you'd come."

Brian hovered, calm.

> "Move."

Aiden shook his head.

> "I should kill you right now."

They clashed.

Just one blow each — and the universe around them cracked.

Space literally peeled like wallpaper, revealing the raw framework of reality.

Then—

> "Enough."

Cam's voice.

He stepped out from a rip in existence.

Still calm. Still unreadable.

🧠 Scene 4 – The Pact

They floated at the edge of reality.

Cam stared at Brian.

> "You really chased me through galaxies."

Brian clenched his fists.

> "Why Luxden?"

> "Because peace made them lazy."

Silence.

Then Cam said the words no one expected.

> "We should work together."

Brian didn't answer.

He didn't nod.

He just turned his head slightly…

And grinned.

🌒 Final Scene – Hidden Truth

Cam waved his hand — revealing a map made of spirit fractures and dimensional cracks.

> "These are spreading. Faster than we expected."

Brian studied them.

> "So it's true. We're being watched."

Cam nodded.

> "We're the last test world in this sector."

> "And we're failing."

The two floated silently, stars swirling around them.

> "Then we start the war early," Brian said.

> "First target?"

> "Earth," Cam replied.

"We clean it. Burn it. Build it right."
