A thunderous crack shattered the night, splitting the sky and sending a jolt through the crowd. Everyone froze, hearts pounding, as Ryu's eyes looked around in confusion. The shadow that had momentarily darkened their vision vanished, leaving nothing behind but the echo of the strike. It seemed like a random act of nature, but Ryu's patience had snapped. With fury burning in his eyes, he unleashed a chilling command. His possessed animals and humans sprang to life, snarling and hissing, as they began to close in on their terrified prey, encircling them with a menacing intensity.
Victor Roared orders to Ashura and Raven, his voice cutting through the chaos. "Handle the possessed ones!" he commanded. Without hesitation, Raven pulled out her Star Holder weapon – a sleek, deadly sniper rifle. This wasn't just any rifle; it fired bullets infused with her star's power, capable of rendering victims unconscious in an instant. If the dose was high enough, it could be lethal. Raven took her position, steady and focused, and began picking off the possessed one by one, each shot a calculated strike to bring them down.
Ashura was slammed to the ground by a massive, possessed monkey. Gritting his teeth, he rose and spat, "You don't know my true potential." With a Menacing roar, he bellowed, "Star Awakening!"
A blinding flash Blast the scene, lasting a heartbeat. When the light faded, Ashura stood transformed—a shadowy figure with half his body Transformed in darkness shadow. He raised his hands, used his hands to create shapes, summoning dark energy to create shadowy constructs. A towering gorilla materialized beside him, an imposing force at his command. With this awakening power, Ashura began to dominate the battlefield, turning the possessed creatures under him, shifting the tide of the battle in his favor.
Victor locked eyes with Ryu, his voice calm but edged with steel. "You don't want this," he warned.
Ryu's lips curled into a daring smirk. "I dare you to step a little closer."
Without another word, Victor lunged at Ryu, and they clashed in a fierce hand-to-hand battle. Flames danced around Victor's fists while Ryu commanded the power of nature. Ryu's hand seared with flames but healed almost instantly, leaving Victor momentarily stunned. Realizing his usual strength wasn't enough, Victor roared, "Star Awakening!"
In a burst of fiery energy, he transformed, striking at Ryu with renewed vigor and determination.
The scene shifted to Arashi, effortlessly gliding through the sky, enjoying the freedom of flight. Suddenly, he felt a familiar surge of energy—Victor's Star Force. He had learned about this at Star School: every star holder have a unique Star Force that could be sensed, even with eyes closed, by those who were trained.
Recognizing Victor's distinctive energy signature, Arashi's playful demeanor turned serious. He honed in on the source, adjusting his course to head straight towards the place where Victor's Star Force was emanating from. Determined and focused, Arashi sped through the sky, ready to join the battlefield.
Victor was struggling to keep up with Ryu, their battle intensifying with each blow. Suddenly, Ryu jumped aside and let out a low grunt, his body beginning to mutate, it was so disturbing, Victor watched in alarm as Ryu's form twisted and changed, a tail sprouting from his spine and wings unfurling from his back.
Victor's eyes widened with realization. Ryu's Star was a Shapeshift Star, enabling him to adapt his body to any environment. This power is already insane, if he transform his Star Awakening devastatingly unpredictable and dangerous. In front of such a formidable force, Victor knew he was outmatched. Ryu's ability to transform into any creature perfectly suited to his surroundings meant he could thrive anywhere, turning the environment itself into a weapon against his foes.
Suddenly, Victor heard desperate screams echoing around him, urging him not to let Ryu rest. Startled, he glanced up to see Arashi gliding towards him on a sleek glider, his expression a mix of determination and concern.
Before Victor could fully process the situation, he felt a Menacing presence behind him. Turning just in time, he saw Ryu's eyes blazing with intensity. With lightning speed, Ryu unleashed a devastating kick that sent Victor hurtling through the air. He crashed through a sturdy tree with bone-shattering force before collapsing to the ground, gasping for breath.
Arashi landed urgently beside Victor, his voice laced with urgency. "We can't let him recover. Do it now," Arashi said, his eyes locked on Victor's. Despite his injuries, Victor nodded grimly, drawing on his Star's power to begin the healing process as they prepared for what came next.
Arashi's rage flared at the sight of Victor, the man who had given him a chance to join the Star Agent team, lying on the ground brutally. Fueled by determination, he channeled bio-electricity into his legs, boosting his speed. He darted across the battlefield, leaving blurry afterimages that momentarily confused Ryu.
Seeing Ryu's four-handed technique, Arashi mimicked his opponent's agility, racing around him with dizzying speed. The rapid motion almost threw Arashi off balance, but he managed to control it enough to land a powerful punch on Ryu's face. To his dismay, Ryu barely reacted, effortlessly grabbing Arashi's hand and tossing him aside.
Arashi flipped through the air, his fist hitting Ryu's back with a loud thud. He landed and rolled smoothly. Even though he was full of energy, Arashi started to feel very tired. With a determined look, he quickly reached into his pocket, searching for something important.
