Chapter 26 - CHAPTER 26 — “THE FIRST ANGEL ARRIVES”

The city trembled.Sirens howled.Shadows warped.

But the sound that cut through everything was…

VRRRRRRROOOOOM—!!

A motorcycle's engine.

Not normal.Not earthly.More like a demon laughing inside metal.

A blue streak tore down the ruined highway, kicking up dust and sparks.

At the front of the chaos—

A MAN RIDING ONE-HANDED,LAUGHING LIKE HE OWNED THE WORLD.

**THE FIRST ANGEL OF AIZENO

"LUXION VALE" — The Heaven's Joker**

Black hoodie hanging loose.Angel-mark tattoo glowing above his collarbone.Red headphones around his neck.Relaxed eyes.Sharp grin.

Every hero who saw him felt their stomach drop.

But Luxion just waved.

Luxion:"Yo~! Heard you losers were causing trouble for boss-man Aizeno.Mind if I ruin your day?"

He drifted the bike sideways—tires screaming—coming to a perfect stop in front of the Null group.

He looked at Null.

Raised his hand.

Luxion:"Sup, baby brother."

Null froze.

Hyung stepped in front of him instantly.

Hyung:"Don't call him that."

Luxion smirked.

Luxion:"Relax, Fake-Big-Bro. We all know who you really are."winks"A failure with good hair."

Gray snorted. Blaze laughed. Ash Blade choked.

Hyung almost had a stroke.

SIDE BATTLE — VYRA VS THE THREE

(Gray, Blaze, Ash Blade)

Vyra's strings shot forward.

Vyra:"I'll handle these insects."

Gray:"Nope. We're busy."

Ash Blade:"I don't like being called an insect."

Blaze:"LET'S COOK THIS SURGEON!"

THE FIGHT OPENS LIKE A MOVIE

Vyra snaps her fingers—micro-strings slice the air.

Gray twists his body sideways, dodging by millimeters.

Blaze blocks with his fists, sparks flying.

Ash Blade draws his twin daggers, blue flame coating the edges.

Vyra (smiling):"Three at once? How generous."

She flicks her hand.

Dozens of strings tear through cars, walls, streetlamps—turning the battlefield into a web.

Ash Blade:"She turned the whole street into a surgery table."

He steps forward.

Ash Blade:"Let's ruin her operation."

THE TRIO'S COMBO

Gray moves first — pure speed.A blur.A shadow.

Strings cut his jacket, but he flips over Vyra's head.

Blaze comes next — punching so hard flames explode behind him.

Ash Blade finishes — spinning through the strings, slicing every thread in his path.

Vyra's smile fades.

They're pushing her back.

BACK TO LUXION VS NULL + HYUNG

Luxion leans on his bike, bored.

Luxion:"So, Null… or should I say…"He pokes Null's forehead."—Little brother number three?"

Null trembles.

His memories itch.A name tugging at him…

Luxion laughs.

Luxion:"Don't worry, I won't spoil it.Aizeno wants to tell you himself."He yawns."He likes dramatic family reveals."

Hyung clenches his fists.

Hyung:"You're not touching him."

Luxion raises one eyebrow.

Luxion:"Hyung… Hyung… Hyuuuuung…"pats his shoulder"Bro, you're like the DLC character nobody asked for."

Hyung's soul leaves his body.

NULL × NEMICA — MOMENT IN CHAOS

Null's vision blurs.Aizeno's voice whispers again.

Nemica grabs his face, forcing him to look at her.

Nemica:"Null. Focus on me.Not the voice in your head."

Her thumbs wipe dust from his cheeks.Her forehead touches his.

Null blinks… the world stops spinning.

Null (soft):"Nemica… why do you care?"

She swallows.

Her voice low.

Nemica:"Because… when you're scared…I feel it too."

Null's heart jumps.

Nemica pulls him into a tight hug, whispering:

Nemica:"Stay with me.Not with him."

Luxion watches, amused.

Luxion:"Awwww. Cute.Love in the middle of world-ending trauma."

Nemica glares at him.

Nemica:"Shut. Up."

Luxion puts his hands up.

Luxion:"Damn. Okay.Respect."

END OF CHAPTER CLIFFHANGER

Luxion cracks his neck.

His aura explodes.

A shockwave bursts outward, shattering windows, flipping cars, forcing Hyung and Null back.

He stands up from the bike.

The tattoos on his skin ignite.

Wings made of blue flame unfold behind him.

Luxion:"Let's get this show started.The First Angel of Aizeno…is officially clocking in."

He points at Null.

Smile sharp.Eyes glowing.

Luxion:"Ready to meet big bro, little dude?"

The screen cuts to black.
