The Abyssal energy eruption raged through the chamber like a blinding storm of destruction, threatening to engulf everything. Ryu raised Voidfang and plunged it into the cracked earth. Its dark energy harmonized with the storm of the Abyss, building a barrier that shielded him and his team from the worst of the chaos.
"Stand your ground!" Ryu shouted, his voice piercing the deafening roar.
Draven braced himself behind his shield, hunched low as the shockwaves pounded him. "Easier said than done!" he roared, gritting his teeth as cracks spiderwebbed across his shield.

The storm grew stronger, Zenith's shadowy form at its center. His body seemed to dissolve and reform, a swirling mass of dark tendrils and crimson light.
