Chapter 21 - The Unyielding Storm

Then Moho-Sha fell to the ground but was caught by Felicity.

"Thank you, Felicity," Moho-Sha said.

"He literally thanked me. His voice is so smooth, and I just caught my future husband," Felicity whispered to herself.

Then, the alien's head cracked, eventually breaking apart, and its entire body shattered into pieces.

"We did it," Moho-Sha said.

Meanwhile, Akuma, Nami, and Beam were flying in their car. They landed at a bus stop and got out, walking down the street. Akuma glanced around, his brow furrowed in confusion.

"Hey, Nami, isn't this the location? We've been walking for a while now, and we haven't seen it," Akuma said.

"Well, let's just keep walking. Maybe we can encounter one," Nami said.

"Let's just get this done," Beam replied.

"Wait a minute, Beam," Akuma said as he put on his conductor. Yellow lightning erupted from his back as he sped forward, grabbing Beam and jumping out of the way. The ground tore open beneath them, revealing a massive skeleton with horns and blade-like hands. Its eyes glowed yellow, and it was so enormous that Akuma had to jump higher, using his ability, Anti-Matter: Flying Thunder, to fly into the air and land on top of a building.

"Thanks, Akuma," Beam said.

"Don't mention it," Akuma replied.

"Hey, you guys, we need to finish this mission now," Nami said.

"Okay," Akuma and Beam said in unison.

Beam then jumped down, shouting, "Anti-Matter: Peak Light Reflection!" She directed the light into the alien's eyes, blinding it. The alien grumbled and started attacking wildly.

Nami then unleashed his attack. "Anti-Matter: Water Drill!" His hands were enveloped in spinning water, resembling a powerful drill. He aimed for the alien's leg, but the hardened limb proved too tough to penetrate. As the light reflection wore off, the alien attacked with its sword hands, aiming for Nami.

"Anti-Matter: Water Barrier!" Nami shouted, trying to block the alien's attack. The barrier held, but the force of the blow pushed him back, straining his defenses.

"Hey Nami, let's try a combo move," Akuma said, springing into action.

"Hmm," Nami replied, struggling to withstand the alien's relentless attack.

"Anti-Matter: Water Wave!" Nami shouted as a massive wave of water surged from his back, hurtling towards the alien.

"Anti-Matter: Straight Lightning!" Akuma yelled. Two beams of yellow lightning shot forward, merging with the water wave.

"Anti-Matter Combo: Blue Yellow Destruction!" Nami and Akuma shouted in unison. The combined attack moved at incredible speed, striking the alien and shattering it instantly. The shockwave was so intense that Beam, Akuma, and Nami had to brace themselves against it. When everything settled, they stood victorious.

"Did you see that, Lola?" Matt exclaimed.

"What?" Lola asked.

"That was an Anti-Matter combo attack. Akuma's Anti-Matter ability is lightning, and Nami's is water. Normally, water and lightning don't mix well, but because it was all formed by Anti-Matter energy, it had a much greater impact than usual," Matt explained.

"Oh, I see," Lola said, impressed.

[Back to Akuma and the Team]

"Yes, I think we did it," Beam said, relief evident in her voice.

"Yeah," Akuma agreed.

"I don't think so," Nami said, a hint of worry in his tone.

"Why?" Akuma asked.

"Well, you see, it was too easy. Something doesn't feel right," Nami replied.

Before Nami could finish his statement, the creature began regenerating. Its skeletal body reassembled itself, bones knitting together with alarming speed until it was whole once more.

"And Matt, I forgot to tell you something," Lola said.

"What is it?" Matt asked.

"The experiment I gave them had a huge impact on the cells," Lola explained. "It altered their DNA, and now they are regenerating."

"I see," Matt replied, his mind racing with the implications.

[Back to Akuma]

"How are we gonna beat this thing?" Akuma exclaimed, his voice tinged with frustration.

"It regenerated. That's no good," Beam said, his expression grim.

"All we need is a plan," Nami suggested. "Or we all attack together."

"I pick the second one," Beam said, nodding in agreement.

"Me too," Akuma added, determination shining in his eyes.

Nami's voice rang out with determination. "Now, let's show it our most powerful attack!"

"Yeah!" Akuma and Beam shouted in unison, their faces set with resolve.

"Anti-Matter: Hurricane!" Nami commanded, raising his arms. A massive wave of water surged into existence, filling the area with a roaring tide. The torrent crashed into the alien, sweeping it off its feet and slamming it into the ground with tremendous force. The creature's body began to crack under the pressure, its skeletal form struggling to maintain cohesion.

Beam didn't waste a moment. She rushed forward, her eyes glowing with intensity. "Anti-Matter: Diamond Light Ray!" she cried. A brilliant orange beam erupted from her hands, searing through the air. She aimed it at the alien's skeletal hands, cutting through them like a hot knife through butter. The hands fell away, severed cleanly by the powerful attack.

Akuma stepped up, his expression fierce and determined. "I'm going to end this now! Anti-Matter: Bring Out the Thunder!" he shouted, raising his hand to the sky. A massive bolt of yellow lightning streaked down from the heavens, striking the alien with a deafening crack. The creature's body convulsed as the electricity coursed through it, and then it exploded into pieces, shredded by the sheer force of the attack.

"We did it!" Nami exclaimed, a triumphant smile spreading across his face.

"Finally," Beam sighed, relief washing over her. The tension in her shoulders eased as she looked at the remains of their enemy.

"It's all done now," Akuma said, his voice steady. He surveyed the battlefield, making sure there were no signs of the creature reassembling. Satisfied, he nodded. They had won.

Lola watched the monitors intently, a grin of satisfaction creeping across her face. "Yeah, they did it," she said, her voice filled with pride.

Matt stood beside her, his arms crossed. "Those ones were tough, but I knew my team could handle it," he remarked, his tone confident. He glanced at Lola, catching the subtle shift in her expression.
