The battlefield was in ruin.
Planets shattered. Stars dimmed. Cosmic storms raged.
In the center — Doomrend, towering, snarling — his body crackling with spiral wrath energy.
Zeraphon, on one knee — armor scorched, but unbroken in spirit.
Kael, Zero Step, Orion, Lyra, Cryalis, and Zevak — all battered, regrouping.
⸻
And then —
A new light surged — brighter than the ruined stars.
Veyra rose — her entire form wrapped in radiant crystalline energy.
Her aura — no longer flame — but shimmering, resonant crystal waves.
⸻
"That… power…!" Zevak gasped.
Kael's eyes widened.
"She's awakened…"
⸻
The New Form
Crystalline Harmony — her evolution:
•Gleaming crystalline wings — sharp yet elegant.
•Her skin shimmered with protective crystal patterns.
•Energy constructs hovered — like floating crystalline sigils.
•Her pink eyes radiated calm, controlled power.
⸻
Doomrend snarled.
"What trickery is this…?"
⸻
The Assault Begins
Veyra moved — faster than before — her flight a smooth glide through broken space.
Her hands traced the air —
CRYSTAL ENERGY CONSTRUCTS formed — spears, blades, shields.
With a flick —
dozens of crystalline lances fired — piercing Doomrend's aura — driving him back.
⸻
He roared — firing wrath beams —
but Veyra spun — wings shimmering — deflecting the attacks with resonant barriers.
She closed the distance — palms glowing —
RES-BOOM! — a Resonant Energy Blast detonated point-blank — flinging Doomrend through asteroid fields.
⸻
Orion, regaining his footing, grinned.
"She's incredible…"
⸻
Team Resurgence
Inspired — the team surged back:
•Kael, aura flaring white, struck alongside Veyra — their energies syncing.
•Zero Step rejoined the assault — warping between planes — slicing at Doomrend's blind spots.
•Orion and Lyra attacked in tandem — their strikes harmonizing with Veyra's rhythm.
•Cryalis and Zevak supported — beams and ice now coordinated with crystalline waves.
⸻
Doomrend's Fury
But Doomrend — still evolving — roared:
"ENOUGH!!"
His body flared — entering deeper Wrath Form — armored in jagged black-red energy.
He charged — a living juggernaut of hate —
blows landing with cosmic force —
the air itself tearing apart.
⸻
Yet Veyra met him head-on.
⸻
Sound-Vibration Combat
She moved with elegance — each strike accompanied by vibrations that shattered Doomrend's attacks mid-motion.
Her hands glowed —
SOUND-VIBRATION STRIKES echoing through his body — disrupting his inner fury.
⸻
"You won't break us." she said — her voice resonant, calm, unwavering.
⸻
Doomrend stumbled — visibly struggling against the unfamiliar harmony energy.
"WHY… CAN'T… I… CRUSH YOU?!" he bellowed.
⸻
The Turning Point
Kael hovered beside Veyra —
their powers now perfectly synced.
Kael: "Together."
Veyra nodded —
raising her hands — forming a massive crystalline sigil.
Kael channeled his divine aura into it.
⸻
A colossal Harmony-Infused Resonant Blast charged —
energy swirling, harmonizing between them.
⸻
Doomrend, enraged beyond reason —
charged blindly — straight into the gathering storm.
⸻
Kael & Veyra (together):
"NOW!"
⸻
BOOOOM!!
The combined blast struck —
engulfing Doomrend in blinding light —
reverberations shaking the cosmos.
⸻
As the light faded —
Doomrend's form was nowhere to be seen.
Only lingering crimson-black energy swirled.
⸻
The team hovered — breathing heavily — wounded, but victorious.
Zeraphon, battered but standing, nodded in respect to Veyra:
"You turned the tide…"
⸻
Kael landed beside her —
gently taking her hand.
"You saved us." he whispered.
Veyra smiled softly — pink eyes dimming — leaning into him.
