Just when it seemed like Marco had the upper hand, the battle took an unexpected turn. Benjo, Lyra, and Rico, still under the Blood Queen's control, joined the fight. Their eyes were blank, their actions not their own, but their powers were real and potent.
Zafira, the Blood Queen, watched with satisfaction as her mind-controlled allies attacked Marco. He was strong, but was he strong enough to fight them all?
Marco was taken aback, but he didn't let it deter him. He had to save his friends, free them from Zafira's control. With renewed determination, he fought back, blocking their attacks, trying to reach out to them.
The battle had taken a new turn, the stakes were higher than ever. But Marco was not ready to give up. He would fight, for his friends, for Lumina.
