As Ankin and Ana are dropped into the pit, a surge of dark energy shoots out, consuming them. Ankin's eyes widen as the Dark Matteris enters him, filling him with unimaginable power.
ANKIN (NOW DARK MATTERIS)
"Fools! You thought you could contain me?"
The room is filled with a blinding explosion of dark energy, knocking everyone to the ground. As they struggle to rise, they see Ankin, now transformed into the Dark Matteris, standing before them, a being of pure darkness.
RYOSHI
(Horrified, whispering)
"Ankin...what have you become?"
The Dark Matteris smirks, the darkness in his eyes reflecting his twisted soul.
DARK MATTERIS (ANKIN)
(Menacingly)
"I am the end. The darkness that will consume the light."
As the warrior priests rush to stop him, the Dark Matteris raises his hand, instantly corrupting their souls and turning them into revenants.
DARK MATTERIS (ANKIN)
(Coldly)
"Your light is gone. Only darkness remains."
Ryoshi, knowing he cannot escape, grabs a weapon from the ground and faces his former friend.RYOSHI
(Resolutely)
"If this is our fate, then I will fight until my last breath."
The Dark Matteris grins, transforming his hand into a blade.
DARK MATTERIS (ANKIN)
(Mockingly)
"You will die like the rest, Ryoshi. The light within you will fade, and all will fall to darkness."
As the two clash, the battle is fierce and intense, but the Dark Matteris quickly overpowers Ryoshi, stabbing him through the chest.
DARK MATTERIS (ANKIN)
(Smiling wickedly)
"Farewell, old friend. You should have joined me."
As Ryoshi collapses, his vision fading, a beam of light shoots down from the heavens, engulfing his body. The light is so bright it forces the Dark Matteris to step back, shielding his eyes.
DARK MATTERIS (ANKIN)
(Snarling, in disbelief)
"What is this...?"
Ryoshi's body begins to glow, and he rises, now the embodiment of the Quantum Source. His voice echoes with a power that shakes the very foundation of the sanctuary.
RYOSHI (EMBODYING THE QUANTUM SOURCE)
(With authority)
"Ankin! You have forsaken the light, but it will not forsake the cosmos."
The two engage in a climactic battle, with the sanctuary crumbling around them. Just as Ryoshi is about to deliver the final blow, the Dark Matteris shifts back into Ankin's form, causing Ryoshi to hesitate.
DARK MATTERIS (ANKIN)
(Pleading, deceptively)
"Ryoshi...it's me. Help me...I don't want this."
But it's a ruse. In that moment of hesitation, the Dark Matteris strikes, sending Ryoshi flying with a powerful blast. As Ryoshi struggles to recover, the Dark Matteris escapes into the cosmos, leaving the sanctuary in ruins.
RYOSHI (EMBODYING THE QUANTUM SOURCE)
(Weakly, but with resolve)
"Ankin...I will find you. I will stop you."
And so, the fall of the Quantum Order marks the beginning of Ryoshi's journey, now as the embodiment of the Quantum Source, to track down and stop the Dark Matteris before it can spread its darkness across the cosmos!!!
