Yano entered the great hall, illuminated by shimmering etheric colors, the blue stone in the center pulsing with powerful energy. All the previous Guardians he had faced had returned as shadows, but they were no longer enemies… Instead, they had become allies to help him overcome the last obstacles. "This is the moment… Everything I've suffered was worth it." Yano lunged at the blue stone, each strike illuminating the space more. With the last wave of light, the stone shattered into millions of tiny gems, dispersed throughout the city, granting power to the good people and preventing the evil ones from taking control. Yano smiled, a sense of accomplishment and happiness flooding his heart. The city was safe, friends were back, and hope was restored to everyone. "I did it… The world is better, and I am a part of that light." A golden-blue light shone in the sky, reflecting strength, courage, and sacrifice. Yano felt that his journey wasn't over, but that a new chapter of life had begun, filled with hope and freedom.
