Chapter 10: Rashomon
Hundreds of thousands of years later, Black has become the ruler of the universe, ruling it with an iron fist. However, sparks of rebellion have begun to rise throughout the universe. The Battle of Rashomon was the result of that rebellion, as twenty rulers from different planets tried to overthrow Black, but were all captured. Now, a battle royale is taking place between ten fighters from each planet, to determine the fate of those planets. The losing planet will be completely destroyed, while the winning planet will be the only survivor. The number of participants in the battle has reached 200 people, and the planets are surrounded by a transparent shield that prevents escape, making the fight inevitable.
The scene shifts to Celeste, one of the participants from planet Neptune, feeling the weight of responsibility on her shoulders. She looks around at the sky enclosed by the transparent shield, then looks back at her teammates.
Black in a dry voice: "The battle has begun."
The Neptune fighters begin to build a magical wall of stone to protect themselves, while trying to maintain their composure.
Celeste nervously: "Is this enough... We must survive this battle to deliver our message to the world. The world needs to know the truth that our planet has discovered."
Clover, one of her colleagues, agrees: "Yes... The truth we have uncovered could change the course of the universe. Everyone needs to know."
But the situation becomes more complicated when the Pluto Fighters launch an attack on the Neptune Fighters. On the other side, Lilith from Saturn appears and says firmly: "Let's destroy these rebels..."
The fight escalates as the Neptune Fighters strengthen their magic wall, while the scene shifts to Shaka from Uranus, who is watching closely.
Shaka, pondering: "This battle is not just a power struggle... It's a battle over truth. The Pluto Fighters are attacking Neptune because of fundamental differences in their views. The Neptunes believe in the Lord of Water, while the Plutos worship the Lord of Fire. We must exploit these divisions to our advantage, or we will be the next victims."
In a fateful moment, all of the Mars Fighters fall. Black presses a red button, and the scene opens to a wide shot of Undertale-like "Gaster Blasters", but engulfed in black flames. These weapons shoot laser beams in every direction, destroying the entire planet Mars, killing everyone on its surface. The scene is broadcast live, terrifying the contestants who realize that this is the fate of the losing planet.
The attacks escalate between the participants, each of whom carries in his heart obsessions and dreams of survival, but the fear of the unknown truth creeps into their souls. Over time, the number of participating planets shrinks until only five remain.
In the end, Clover stands alone as the last representative of his planet, in the middle of the raging battle, while the scene is broadcast to the entire world. Clover is mortally wounded, but he screams in a voice filled with rage and rebellion:
"You are afraid... afraid of your old enemy! To all the inhabitants of the universe... Once upon a time there was an ancient cosmic kingdom, consisting of 1000 dimensions, which for some unknown reason united to form a powerful kingdom. That kingdom spread its magic stones throughout the universe and dimensions, and Black is trying to destroy them... Find them! The tyrant will fall when you find all the stones... As the prophecies say..."
As Clover falls, the scene shifts to a statue of Alice, which gradually begins to crack. The stones around her fall, and Alice appears again, brought back to life, with eyes reflecting all the pain and rage. Chapter ends
