The battlefield descended into chaos, with saviors and enemies clashing in every direction. Magic and energy attacks illuminated the war-torn skies, and the sound of steel clashing against steel filled the air. Ogamak stood atop a cliff overlooking the mayhem, his sinister grin growing wider.
"Shall we begin the final act?" he sneered.
Across the battlefield, Jared, the principal of the Savior Academy, locked eyes with Ogamak. His expression was one of cold fury.
"After everything you've done—Hight's betrayal, your demonic schemes—you'll answer for it here and now, Ogamak," Jared declared, his voice steady and commanding.
With those words, the battle erupted in full force.

"Marcus, let's split up!" Yaxoc shouted over the roar of the fight.
"Got it!" Marcus called back, darting into the fray, his weapon drawn.
"Prioritize the ones with demonic essence!" Yaxoc yelled again, his eyes scanning for threats.
"Understood, pot boy!" Moonlight shouted back as she launched herself at a group of enemies, her feline agility making her a blur of motion.
"What about me?" Luna asked, her voice uncertain amidst the chaos.
"Support the saviors who need help!" Yaxoc instructed before turning his attention back to the fight.
Luna nodded, rushing off to aid the wounded and overwhelmed.
Zarzock, an elite enemy with glowing veins of energy across his body, charged at Yaxoc. Yaxoc braced himself, deflecting the attack with his arms.
"You're fast, but not fast enough," Yaxoc taunted before slamming a fist into Zarzock's gut, sending him flying.
Zarzock tried to recover mid-air, but Yaxoc appeared above him with a sledgehammer-like strike, slamming him into the ground.
Zarzock snarled as he rose, battered but defiant. "You're just a cocky brat!" he roared.
"Artificial Magic: Gravitational Pull!" Yaxoc yelled, summoning a powerful vortex that dragged rubble and Zarzock's own energy orbs toward him.
"NO!" Zarzock screamed, struggling to destroy the debris, but the energy orbs detonated on impact, leaving him staggered.
With a smirk, Yaxoc dashed forward. "This ends now!" he shouted, driving his blade into Zarzock. Each stab was faster and more precise until, with one final strike, he severed Zarzock in two.
Moonlight darted through the battlefield, clawing her way through enemies until Hight intercepted her with a crushing punch.
"Agh!" she grunted, retaliating with a flurry of slashes and tail strikes.
"You're feisty, but let's see how you handle this!" Hight sneered, summoning glowing orbs. "Spirit Magic: Destruction of Minds!"
The orbs rained down on Moonlight, but she twisted and leaped, deflecting one with her tail.
"I'll rip you apart!" she growled, charging at him.
Before she could strike, Lucius materialized out of thin air. With a flick of his hand, a wave of demonic energy blasted Moonlight, sending her crashing through twenty buildings.
Coughing and bloodied, Moonlight lay on the ground, barely able to move. Lucius appeared above her, his cold expression unyielding.
"You've fought well, little cat, but your time is up," Lucius said, charging a deadly black energy blast in his palm.
Moonlight closed her eyes, bracing for the end—
The Return of Bambon
A sudden blur punched Lucius away with unimaginable speed.
"Not on my watch!" Bambon yelled, standing between Moonlight and Lucius.
Lucius snarled as he staggered to his feet. "You again... How dare you interfere!"
Bambon cracked his knuckles, his movements fluid and confident. "Dare? I call it having a good time."
Lucius lunged at him, but Bambon's strikes were blindingly fast. He landed a combination of punches before finishing with a powerful kick.
"Owl Hawk!" Bambon shouted, sending Lucius flying into the horizon.
Hight appeared behind Bambon, attempting to grab him. "Your energy will be mine—"
Bambon elbowed him in the face without looking back.
"You? Take my energy? You're pathetic!" Bambon scoffed, spinning around to deliver a bone-crushing beatdown to Hight.
The saviors and enemies paused momentarily, watching in awe as Bambon dismantled two of the most dangerous foes with ease.
Yaxoc, still catching his breath, smirked at the sight. "Looks like the anomaly knows how to put on a show."
Marcus, regrouping with Luna and Moonlight, nodded. "Let's just hope he's on our side."
Bambon, standing tall amidst the chaos, turned toward the group. "I'll clean up here. You all better prepare for the next wave."
The final battle was far from over.
The saviors stood amidst the rubble of the battlefield, catching their breath and preparing for the next wave of attacks. Bambon, still energized, glanced toward the returning figure of Lucius, who stepped forward with an intense glare.
"Back for more?" Bambon mocked, crossing his arms.
Lucius's eyes burned with fury. "You insolent anomaly... I'll rip you apart."
Before the tension could escalate further, Yaxoc stepped forward to join the fight.
"I'll back you up," Yaxoc said, cracking his knuckles.
Bambon turned to him with a raised brow. "Really? I thought you'd be gearing up for the next wave."
"Yeah, well, who cares? Let's finish this," Yaxoc replied, smirking.
With a shrug, Bambon stepped into position. "Alright, let's give him hell."
Yaxoc lunged forward, aiming a punch at Lucius's chest. Lucius swiftly dodged and retaliated with a precise strike aimed at Yaxoc's heart. However, Bambon interrupted with a volley of energy blasts, deflecting Lucius's attack.
Lucius, now frustrated, charged directly at Bambon.
"Not so fast!" Bambon quipped, delivering a devastating kick to Lucius's chest, followed by two rapid punches. The impact sent Lucius stumbling backward, directly into Yaxoc's waiting hands.
"He's mine now!" Yaxoc yelled as he landed a powerful kick to Lucius's back, launching him through the air. Jumping to meet him mid-flight, Yaxoc slammed Lucius's head into the ground with a thunderous crash, shattering the earth beneath them.
Bambon didn't miss a beat, sprinting toward Lucius and launching a relentless barrage of punches and kicks, slamming him through several buildings in the process.
Meanwhile, Yaxoc observed the fight carefully, calculating his next move. When Bambon delivered a final powerful blow, Yaxoc charged in.
"Let's end this!" Yaxoc yelled as he delivered a crushing kick to Lucius's face, sending him hurtling skyward.
Yaxoc's voice echoed through the battlefield as he chanted his attack. "Artificial Magic: Explosion Blast!" A massive sphere of energy formed in his hands before rocketing toward Lucius.
Not to be outdone, Bambon began charging his own attack. "Spiritual Blue Beam!" he shouted, releasing an enormous beam of glowing blue energy.
Both attacks hurtled toward Lucius, but before they could connect, Ogamak intervened, teleporting Lucius away at the last second.
Bambon lowered his hands, sighing in disappointment. "Ugh, he's gone. Talk about anticlimactic."
Yaxoc crossed his arms, nodding in agreement. "Yeah, total letdown."
The saviors watched the exchange in stunned silence, their expressions a mix of awe and disbelief.
Breaking the tension, Bambon turned to Yaxoc. "Gotta say, that was some impressive combat. Didn't think you had that much power in you."
Yaxoc smirked, his confidence radiating. "Of course. I'm the best around here."
Bambon chuckled, shaking his head. "A bit too confident, aren't you? Anyway, this raid isn't over yet. Keep training; you'll need it." With a final wave, Bambon vanished from the battlefield, leaving the saviors to prepare for the battles ahead.
Marcus and Luna ran toward Yaxoc as the dust settled.
"Yaxoc, where's Moonlight?!" Marcus asked, panic lacing his voice.
Yaxoc pointed toward a pile of rubble in the distance. "She's over there, lying down."
"Get her to a hospital now!" Marcus commanded.
Luna nodded without hesitation, rushing to Moonlight's side and carefully carrying her away.
Marcus's eyes followed them before he turned back to Yaxoc. "That was a great fight, but Lucius, Ogamak, and Yurgion escaped. Most of their forces are either dead or in custody, though."
Yaxoc nodded, brushing dust from his shoulder. "Yeah. Let's just hope the next raid doesn't end up being worse than this."
With that, Yaxoc walked away, his figure fading into the shadows of the ruined city as the saviors regrouped to plan their next move.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In a dimly lit private room, the heavy atmosphere of failure weighed on Ogamak and Lucius. Ogamak hovered over Lucius, using his demonic magic to heal his wounds. The dark energy pulsated faintly, mending broken bones and torn muscles.
"Lucius," Ogamak muttered, frustration lacing his voice, "you should've called me for backup. That guy is no joke."
Lucius, his face etched with irritation, crossed his arms. "Hmph, as if Hight was of any use. He barely lifted a finger to help. If you hadn't intervened, I would've been killed by that ultimate attack."
Ogamak rolled his eyes, continuing the healing process. "Yeah, well, we need to face the facts. We're not strong enough yet. Not only did we fail to capture Yaxoc, but we couldn't even subdue that anomaly."
The room fell silent until the sound of hesitant footsteps broke the tension. Luchis entered, her posture stiff, her expression one of dread.
"Leaders," she began, her voice trembling, "I... I'm sorry for interrupting. I failed to capture the memory fragment you requested..."
Ogamak sighed heavily, pinching the bridge of his nose. "Not even with your speed? I underestimated that fragment's capabilities. He's more unstoppable than I thought."
Luchis braced herself for punishment, but to her surprise, Ogamak waved her off. "Don't worry, I won't punish you. Go handle other tasks. We'll figure something out."
Relieved, Luchis bowed slightly and quickly left the room.
Lucius leaned back in his chair, his injuries now fully healed, though his pride remained battered. "We need to plan better if we want to win this time. Rushing into battle without a strategy is getting us nowhere."
Ogamak nodded in agreement, his expression dark. "You're right. Next time, we won't leave anything to chance."
The two stared at each other, their minds already churning with thoughts of revenge and domination, as the shadows in the room seemed to grow thicker, mirroring their intentions.
