Rishi approached his father, Xandros, with a determined look on his face. "Father, I need a ship to travel to Arkavia and reclaim the destroyed realms. Something powerful, with advanced technology."
Xandros nodded thoughtfully. "I have just the thing, Rishi. The Celestial Blade, a ship with cutting-edge tech and a skilled AI. It's yours to command."
Rishi smiled, grateful. "Thank you, Father. But I must ask, I want the Shadow Syndicate to remain here and assist you, not come with me on this journey."
Xandros raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure, Rishi? They are powerful allies."
Rishi nodded. "I have Umbra, my shadow legion, and half of the Shadow Army with me. We'll be fine. Besides, I consider the Shadow Syndicate friends, and I want to ensure your safety here."
The Shadow Syndicate stepped forward, his eyes gleaming with intensity. "Rishi, my master, I will not leave your side. But first, let me give Umbra some advanced training. He's a shadow, after all, and can learn quickly. Just a day, and he'll be even more formidable."
Rishi's eyes lit up. "That would be amazing, thank you, Shadow syndicate. I trust your expertise."
After traning the trio is on spaceship
As the trio prepared for their journey, they couldn't help but act like children, joking and teasing each other. Rishi pretended to be a captain, giving orders to Kaidō and Lyra, who playfully disobeyed. Their laughter echoed through the halls, a stark contrast to the darkness they were about to face.
Meanwhile, in the shadows, a subtle shift occurred. Malum and Zero's influence, once connected to Xandros, began to wane. Their dark presence dissipated, revealing their true forms in the five realms still under their control.
In the realm of Skyhaven, a group of shadowy figures gathered, whispering among themselves. "Can you believe it? Someone actually defeated Malum and Zero's shadow in the Shadow Realm."
"I know, it's unheard of," another figure replied. "And now, their grip on our realms is loosening. We might finally be free."
A hooded figure emerged from the shadows, their voice low and mysterious. "The time of Malum and Zero's dominance is ending. A new era begins, one where the Shadow Realm is free from their tyranny."
"But who is this person?" another figure asked. "We don't even know their name."
The hooded figure shook their head. "No, we don't. But we know they're young...less than 20 years old. Some say they're a prodigy, others a mere luckster. But one thing's certain: they're the key to our freedom."
As the shadowy figures dispersed, the armies of the trio began to mingle. The Shadow Army, led by General Umbra, met with the Vampire Army, led by General Valois, and the Time Queen's Army, led by General Chronos.
Initially, the atmosphere was tense, but as they started talking, they realized they had more in common than they thought. They shared stories, laughed, and became fast friends.
Umbra, Valois, and Chronos, the trio generals, would often meet in secret, discussing their leaders' antics. "Can you believe Rishi, Kaidō, and Lyra are always teasing each other?" Umbra asked, chuckling.
Valois nodded. "Yes, and our leaders are not much better. They're always joking and playing pranks on each other."
Chronos smiled. "But despite their childish behavior, they're brilliant strategists. And when they fight...they're unstoppable."
The trio generals nodded in agreement. They had seen their leaders in battle, and it was a sight to behold.
"But what's amazing," Umbra said, "is how well they work together. They complement each other's strengths and weaknesses perfectly."
Valois nodded. "Yes, and their bond is unbreakable. They trust each other with their lives."
Chronos smiled. "We're lucky to have such leaders. And we'll do everything in our power to support them."
And so, the trio generals continued to meet, discussing their leaders' plans and strategies, and how they could best support them in their quest to defeat Malum and Zero.
