The team struggled to get back to their feet, their bodies battered and bruised. Victor and Kalima stood over them, the crystal glowing brightly between them.
"You're finished," Victor sneered. "You'll never stop us now."
Kalima chuckled. "Yes, it's time for the final act. And you're all just pawns in our game."
Sophia's eyes flashed with anger. "We'll never give up," she spat. "We'll stop you no matter what."
Victor laughed. "We'll see about that," he said, raising his hand.
But before he could unleash his energy, Peter tackled him to the ground. "You're not going to hurt anyone else," he growled.
Kalima snarled, his eyes flashing with anger. "You fools," he muttered, raising his own hand.
But Captain Jameson was ready for him. "Not so fast," he said, knocking Kalima's hand aside.
