As they prepared for the impending enemy attack, Mr. Clonoski instructed Yuto to gather the 3C students and escort them to the Underground Evacuation Area for their safety. He also assigned Amy the task of monitoring the enemy outside the academy.
Meanwhile, Yen and the others worked to reassure the students who were anxious about facing the enemy, especially given that they were not fully aware of their own abilities and lacked combat training.
To all my classmates, we will defeat this enemy and save the academy. This is our chance to shine and become the heroes of our school.
"But how will we fight?" one of Yen's classmates asks.
"We will do our best to understand our powers, just like the champions who were chosen before us. If they could do it then, we can do it now as well. We can achieve this together." Yen is encouraging them to be brave.
Students are clearly afraid because they feel unprepared for the battle ahead. Yen and the other students encourage them to be brave, but some still worry about the first enemy they will encounter and how to fight without adequate preparation. Meanwhile, others are trying to project confidence to bolster their own courage.
After their preparation, Sandra Loira speaks to Yuto about Connor and the others who are outside of the academy.
"What happened to Connor and Ivan?" Sandra asked Yuto.
"I followed Blake and Xander to find out what happened to the forest outside the academy. While we were there, we discovered that they were being chased and shot at by armoured beast bots from a mysterious enemy. Connor told me that I should warn everyone here at the academy," Yuto explained.
Just then, Amy arrived and joined the conversation.
"I just saw them fighting the enemies, but I also noticed someone entering the academy, and then he suddenly disappeared," Amy said to them.
"Wait, that could be..." Yuto replied, surprised and intrigued by Amy's words. Just then, the ground shook as someone attempted to breach the protection of their academy.
"We need to go outside now; we cannot let the enemy in!" Mr Clonoski urged, and they quickly moved into action.
As they arrived outside the academy, the ground shook once more, but this time it trembled throughout the entire building. Mr Clonoski feared that the academy's protective barrier had already been breached.
"Students, prepare yourselves! Our enemy is here," Mr Clonoski warned. The students quickly gathered although some of them grew anxious, fully aware of the power their adversary possessed.
The enemy unexpectedly appeared out of nowhere and dealt a heavy blow to Mr Clonoski, knocking him unconscious and leaving him unable to assist the students. Just as the enemy was about to strike Yen with a massive, deadly axe, Brenda suddenly arrived and used her barrier power to protect Yen from the unseen attack. The enemy smirked and launched a powerful punch at her barrier, shattering it and sending it flying.
Suddenly, Hoka and Kazan lunged forward, planning to attack by throwing punches at their target. However, the enemy noticed their approach, dropped his weapon, and decided to counter their assault by clenching his fist and charging at them. The two forces collided with significant impact.
The enemy smirked, but he didn't realize he was about to be hit. Kazan landed a powerful punch, and Hoka followed up with his own strike, both connecting with their opponent.
The enemy was preparing to counter their attacks with punches, but Sandra and Loira used their powers to redirect his blows, rendering him unable to attack.
"Finley, freeze his body now!" Sandra shouted to Finley as she struggled to pull the enemy's arm, and he immediately complied.
"Not bad, hehe. Let's make it serious this time," the enemy said as he used his Demon Rage to free himself from the ice and blow them away.
He summoned his Deadly Axe, but the two students tried to pull it away from him. They struggled to gain control of the weapon and were almost yanked towards it. One student used his elastic power to wrap his other arm around a stadium pole to help his friend.
"Guys, we need help! I can't hold this much longer," pleaded Renard, the student with elastic power, as he sought assistance from the others.
"Hold on a second, Renard, I'm coming!" Hoka shouted as he rushed over to help pull the weapon away from the enemy.
Meanwhile, the other students launched their attacks to distract the foe, known as Deadly Axe.
Yuto runs around, striking the enemy with Yen's blades. Kazan throws explosive punches, while Amy shoots arrows from her bow. Yen stabs the enemy with her blades, and Sandra and Loira unleash powerful blasts at the foe. Meanwhile, the other students use their healing abilities to help Mr. Clonoski recover.
They attack together coordinately as they try their best to defeat the enemy, but he is too powerful to stop; their enemy empowers his Demon rage as he screams loudly with his anger while transforming into his Second form and angrily smashes the ground, which makes a huge impact and blows them away.
Brenda tried to protect the students who attacked the enemy, but she was too late as they were blown away by the Demon Rage attack of the enemy.
After the huge Impact of the Dark Rage, the enemy easily calls his Deadly Axe and pulls the blades and arrows stuck in his body as he is about to eliminate all the students.
He swings his deadly axe, aiming for Yen, who is nearby, as he begins to eliminate his targets one by one. Just before the axe strikes, Brenda activates her barrier power to protect Yen, but it is easily shattered with a single blow.
Annoyed by Brenda's interference, the enemy starts to move slowly toward her, intent on stopping her from shielding the other students.
As Finley saw, the enemy was about to hit Brenda using the Deadly Axe. His memory of the past entered his mind, which bore a resemblance to what he was about to see happen.
Remembering his youth, Finley recalled walking with his beloved childhood friend, Nina, to their favourite spot in the Northa. She had always believed in him, and he loved her deeply, but he wasn't ready to confess his feelings because he was afraid of being rejected.
"So, do you still enjoy going to our favourite place?" Nina asked Finley.
"Yes, I still absolutely love going there, especially with you," he replied quietly, but she heard him.
"What did you say? I didn't hear you, Fin," Nina asks, wanting to clarify his answer.
"Oh, I mean, yeah, I still enjoyed it, hahaha," he replies, scratching his head. She notices his sudden change of response.
"Hahaha, don't worry, Fin. I would like to be yours forever," she says with a smile, looking into his eyes.
As they left their home, they didn't notice a group of notorious killers from Northa following them. One of the killers leapt forward and struck Finley in the back with a sword while the others jumped on them and pulled them apart.
"Leave us alone!" Nina shouted angrily, trying to shake off their grip.
"Don't you dare touch her!" Finley yelled back, struggling to break free and fight them to save Nina.
But they are too strong and can't remove their arms and murder her in front of him by hitting her chest with a sword, and he does nothing to save her.
His anger surged as he blamed himself for not saving someone he truly loved. Tears flowed down his face, and suddenly, his eyes changed colour to a brilliant white and began to shine.
The enemy noticed this change and smirked at him, but he was oblivious to a student who stood up and fired a laser beam, pushing the enemy away from Brenda.
As the student unleashes a powerful blast at the enemy, Mr. Clonoski quickly recovers and assists the student by creating clones to engage the enemy.
Meanwhile, another student uses his teleportation ability to transport injured classmates to the stadium, ensuring they are safe from harm. There, another student tends to their wounds. However, some of the injured students are determined to stay and continue the fight.
Finley screamed loudly, scratching the ground and clenching his fists as he began to slowly transform into the Frozen Beast Bear. Other students, surprisingly, noticed him as they returned to the fight after being healed by a student with healing powers.
"Is that Finley?" Yuto asked Sandra.
"Yes, he transforms into that Beast when he is filled with rage," Sandra replied as they observed Finley in his Beast form.
"We need to help him; he might be our key to defeating the enemy," Yuto said to Sandra.
"Yes, he could be. This is our chance. Let's just wait for him to make his move," Sandra answered as they prepared for Finley to attack the enemy.
Finley growls loudly to attract the enemy's attention and charges his attack towards the enemy.
As he sees Finley approaching, Mr Clonoski quickly calls for his weapon hurls it at the student and eliminates Mr. Clonoski's clones.
The student stops blasting at the enemy just in time to dodge the weapon thrown at him. With Finley preparing to attack the enemy, the student decides to step back.
The clash made a huge impact on their powers that blew away the students and shook the entire academy.
They threw powerful punches at each other, and each hit of their punches made an impact. As they fight, the other students look at them and find ways how to help Finley defeat the enemy.
"How we do help him?" Yuto asks Sandra.
"We need to figure it out in their fight" Sandra replies to him.
The enemy landed several heavy punches on Finley's face, shaking him but not causing much harm. Surprised by Finley's resilience, the enemy continued to attack him a few more times. However, Finley managed to shake it off, stretch his neck, and prepare to fight back.
The enemy tries to shield himself from the attack, but Finley successfully manages to scratch his arm, prompting the enemy to step back to avoid further injury. Furious about the wound, he wants to retaliate, but he finds that he can't move his injured arm. Finley's scratch has caused the blood in the wound to slowly freeze, rendering his arm immobile.
Despite his inability to move his wounded arm, the enemy still attempts to fight back by calling for his weapon. At that moment, Mr. Clonoski advises Loira to use her powers against the enemy.
"Loira, use your light to blind him now," he said, pointing at the enemy.
"Yuto, take his weapon away," he instructed.
He called for his Deadly Axe, but Loira unleashed her Light power to blind the enemy's sight. At that moment, Yuto swiftly pulled the weapon from the enemy's hand.
As the enemy's vision was obscured, Finley bit his arm and hurled him away. While he was in mid-air, Hoka delivered a powerful punch, sending him crashing to the ground, A student followed by blasting a laser struck him, sending him even further away.
Despite the onslaught, the enemy managed to stand up and was about to unleash his final form, which would shake the entire academy once again. However, Finley reacted swiftly, using his breath to freeze the enemy in place.
He struggled to break free, but Finley was too strong; the blood from his wounds continued to freeze him, rendering him immobile and completely frozen.
To be continued...
