Episode 30 – Mission in Color00 (Part 2)

  The battle resumed exactly where it had stopped.

  The desert sky of Color00 burned in shades of crimson as Leon stood face-to-face with the Krizardian General. The ground beneath them was cracked and glowing, as if the planet itself could no longer endure the violence taking place on its surface.

  The General roared and launched a wave of blazing fire across the battlefield. The heat distorted the air, melting stone and turning sand into glass.

  Leon did not retreat.

  Wind gathered around his body, swirling like a protective mantle. He stepped forward and answered with a blast of water that collided with the flames, sending clouds of steam exploding into the sky.

  The General grinned.

  “Good… Show me more, boy!”

  Lightning sparked across Leon’s arms. In a single motion he combined elements — wind to propel himself, earth to anchor his stance, and lightning to strike. He vanished from sight and reappeared above the General, crashing down with a thunderous impact that shook the entire city.

  Buildings crumbled.

  Lara and Liu watched from a distance while holding back the remaining enemies and protecting the civilians.

  “He’s pushing himself too far…” Lara whispered.

  But Leon kept advancing.

  The General counterattacked with relentless fury, each punch exploding like a volcanic eruption. Fire engulfed the battlefield, but Leon endured it. Earth pillars rose from the ground, blocking the flames, while bursts of water cooled the molten terrain.

  Then Leon used all five elements in sequence.

  Wind accelerated his movement.

  Earth strengthened his body.

  Water restored his breath.

  Lightning sharpened his reflexes.

  And finally — fire ignited in his fists.

  With a final strike, Leon drove his attack directly into the General’s chest.

  The Krizardian fell to his knees.

  Silence followed.

  Leon stood over him, breathing heavily, blood running down his face. He raised his hand… but stopped.

  “I don’t want to become like you.”

  Before anything else could happen, the ground split apart.

  A violent surge of energy erupted from deep beneath the planet’s crust. Cracks spread across the battlefield, glowing with blinding light. The core of Color00 had destabilized.

  The General tried to stand, but his body failed him.

  He was swallowed by the collapsing earth.

  No Krizardian survived.

  The Rescue

  The city began to fall apart.

  Buildings collapsed, explosions echoed through the streets, and the sky darkened as pieces of land floated upward.

  “Everyone, move!” Liu shouted.

  He lifted children into his arms while guiding survivors toward the transport ship. Lara cut through falling debris and opened a path with swift sword strikes. Leon raised massive stone walls, shielding civilians from fire and collapsing structures.

  The chaos surrounded them.

  Screams. Fire. Dust.

  Yet they kept running.

  At the last second, they boarded the ship and launched into the sky.

  The Death of a World

  From the ship’s window, they watched in silence.

  Color00 began to break apart.

  Continents split in half. Oceans evaporated into glowing vapor. Entire cities disappeared into light.

  Leon clenched his fists, tears running down his face.

  Lara covered her mouth, crying.

  “We failed… so many people…”

  Liu stared at the collapsing world.

  “If we don’t stop this… every planet will end the same way.”

  The ship drifted away as the planet imploded into a radiant explosion, dissolving into cosmic dust.

  Aftermath

  Silence filled space.

  Fragments of the destroyed planet floated through the void.

  Then — two black ships appeared.

  Spilrian Androids emerged, descending onto the drifting debris without emotion. One of them carried an energy containment device.

  Amid the ruins, a pulsing glow remained.

  The planet’s core was still alive.

  The androids approached and sealed the glowing core inside the container.

  “Another core collected,” said the first.

  “The Krizardians truly believe this is only about children…” replied the second.

  The container shone brightly as they activated hyperspace.

  They vanished.

  All that remained was empty space… and the dust of Color00.

  End of the Double Episode.
