Veyron's dark Will erupted. "I tire of this."
He unleashed Void Entombment—a field of shadows that devoured light itself. Kaede shielded Ryuu.
"Hang back," Kaede said.
Ryuu shook his head. "Not a chance."
They launched a coordinated strike—gravity collapse and thunderstorm surge. Veyron blocked with twin void blades, but the impact blew him through several walls.
He emerged, bleeding, armor cracked.
"You think this is over?"
Ryuu roared, unleashing Thunder Decree, a move his mentors never saw him master. Lightning exploded outward, engulfing Veyron.
Kaede followed with Graviton Pulse, doubling the weight of the air.
Veyron fell to one knee.
"So… this is what teamwork can do."
Kaede stepped forward. "We're just getting started."
