Aldrich's Extremis soldiers launched a desperate assault on President Matthew Ellis and his security detail. Yet Ellis remained calm—so calm that it made Aldrich frown. An ominous unease crept into his heart.
With a thunderous mechanical roar, giant steel armors surged forward. Towering, fortress-mode Eisenach Armored Units emerged—clearly a pre-deployed reserve. Each step shook the ground, and their arrival instantly shifted the tide of battle.
The armored units formed combat formations with precision. Target locks engaged. Specialized ammunition and energy beams tore through the air, halting the Extremis advance.
"Damn it—there's more of this?" Aldrich roared as his soldiers were shredded under the iron onslaught.
Under the armor's cover, President Ellis and his guards retreated to safety. The armored units worked in perfect coordination—some shielding the president, others delivering overwhelming suppressive fire. Even Extremis warriors wielding high-temperature weapons were forced onto the defensive.
Aldrich's plan was unraveling.
Then—he felt it.
His gaze snapped to a distant figure.
Jay.
Their eyes met across the battlefield, killing intent colliding like blades. To Aldrich, Jay looked like a living weapon.
Suddenly, Jay activated Shadow Ninja Art.
Darkness swallowed the air around him. Black mist surged as blood-stained fist-blades formed in his hands. He vanished—then reappeared as a streak of shadow.
Aldrich ignited his flames and struck, but Jay dissolved into smoke, countering with a crescent of black energy like a reaper's scythe.
Aldrich's Extremis power flared. A blazing thermal shield formed, colliding violently with shadow energy.
"I'm growing stronger," Aldrich sneered. "Superheroes exist to kneel before me."
Jay split into multiple afterimages.
"Shadow Secret: Clone."
Attacks rained from all directions. Aldrich lashed out with fire, sparks and shockwaves tearing through the battlefield. Yet the shadows moved like ghosts.
Cornered, Aldrich forced his power higher. Flames erupted into a sea of fire, incinerating clones—yet Jay's true body endured.
Jay clasped his hands.
"Shadow Secret: All Is Blades."
The darkness exploded—countless fists and blades descended. Aldrich raised a massive wall of fire, barely holding the assault back.
"I'll end this," Aldrich roared."High-Temperature Fusion!"
His flames condensed into a colossal fire sword. He struck with annihilating force.
Jay appeared on the blade itself.
Steel and shadow collided.
Then—Jay vanished.
Too late, Aldrich realized his mistake.
The fire sword cleaved a shadow clone.
Jay appeared behind him.
The forbidden strike shattered Aldrich's defenses, tearing through flame and flesh alike. His power collapsed. His fire died.
One final shadow blade pierced through.
Aldrich's strength drained away. His flames faded. His body fell, erased from the battlefield.
Jay stood alone as the darkness dispersed.
His voice was calm. Cold.
"What I've done… cannot be undone."
