The ruins of the Spilrian fortress were alive with chaos.
Explosions shook the metal structures as agents of Organization Alpha stormed through the prison sectors.
Chains shattered.
Cells burst open.
Prisoners stumbled into the light for the first time in years.
Some cried.
Some collapsed.
Others simply stared in disbelief at the soldiers freeing them.
Amid the rescue, distant explosions echoed across the battlefield.
Far away from the chaos, inside a dark control chamber, Gin watched everything through green holographic screens.
His expression was calm.
Cold.
He folded his hands slowly.
“It's time,” he whispered.
“To show the universe what perfection really looks like.”
The Awakening
A containment cylinder opened with a sharp hiss.
White vapor flooded the chamber.
From inside stepped a man.
Bald.
Barefoot.
Wearing only black pants.
His skin carried faint scars from countless surgical grafts.
A small metallic implant glowed faintly on the side of his head.
He looked completely calm.
But the air around him vibrated.
Particles of elemental energy flickered around his body.
Fire.
Water.
Earth.
Wind.
Lightning.
The narrator's voice echoed softly.
“Born from cruelty and obsession…”
“A being created with the DNA of ten different races.”
“And the power of the five elements.”
“A perfect weapon.”
The Battlefield
Outside the fortress, the children of áris were already fighting their way through Spilrian defenses.
One unleashed a spiral of blue flames.
Another hurled spears of compressed wind.
The experiment lifted one hand.
A hybrid shield formed instantly.
Half fire.
Half water.
The attack vanished against it.
Without effort, the creature counterattacked.
Lightning burst from the ground like a violent storm, throwing warriors off their feet.

The battlefield trembled.
One of áris’ sons struggled to stand.
“What… what kind of monster is this?”
“He copies everything!”
Leon Arrives
At that moment, two figures burst from the ruined fortress corridors.
Leon and Lara.
They landed in the center of the battlefield with a heavy impact.
The ground cracked beneath them.
The experiment turned its head slowly toward them.
Leon shouted toward the Krizardian warriors.
“Back off!”
“He’s mine.”
Before anyone could react, the experiment moved.
Like a blur.
Wind accelerated his body while earth hardened his muscles.
His fist slammed into Leon with terrifying force.
Leon was launched backward across the battlefield.
But lightning erupted around him as he stopped himself in midair.
He wiped blood from the corner of his mouth.
Then smiled.
“So that’s how you want to play.”
“Good.”
“Let’s play.”
The Clash
Fire spiraled from Leon’s hands.
The experiment answered with condensed water, extinguishing the flames instantly.
Lara raised glowing chains of light that wrapped around the enemy’s arms.
But jagged stones erupted from the ground, slicing the chains apart.
The battlefield filled with thunderous impacts.
Dust and debris exploded in every direction.
Lara shouted while maintaining her mental link with Leon.
“He’s being controlled!”
“O chip na cabe?a dele!”
“Se o destruirmos, talvez o libertemos!”
Leon escapou de mais um golpe brutal.
“Ent?o precisamos chegar perto o suficiente para quebrá-lo.”
“Mas ele n?o está nos dando nenhuma chance!”
A Catástrofe Elemental
O experimento levantou ambas as m?os.
Os cinco elementos come?aram a girar em torno de seu corpo.
O fogo subiu em espiral.
Um relampago crepitou violentamente.
O vento uivava.
Fragmentos de pedra retirados do solo.
A água condensou-se formando uma esfera esmagadora.
A energia comprimida em um único ataque devastador.
Ent?o ele o desencadeou.
Uma tempestade de cinco elementos explodiu em dire??o a Leon e Lara como uma bomba viva.
O campo de batalha tremeu violentamente.
Até mesmo as crian?as de áris recuaram em choque.
Relógios de Gin
Dentro da sala de controle, Gin observava com discreto divertimento.
Seus dedos estavam dobrados sob o queixo.
"Você pode controlar os cinco elementos, garoto", murmurou ele.
“Mas ele carrega o sangue de dez ra?as.”
“Vamos ver quanto tempo você aguenta.”
Monitores holográficos exibiam o cora??o artificial do experimento.
Pulsava com uma energia sobrenatural.
O Desafio
A fuma?a foi se dissipando lentamente do campo de batalha.
Le?o surgiu do centro de uma cratera gigantesca.
Seu cabelo estava despenteado.
Seus olhos ardiam de fúria.
Ao lado dele, Lara estava ferida, mas determinada, com correntes de luz brilhantes circulando suas m?os.
O experimento caminhou em dire??o a eles calmamente.
Cada passo ecoava como um trov?o.
Leon cerrou os punhos.
“Observe atentamente, Gin.”
“Vou destruir sua obra-prima.”
A tela escureceu completamente.
Continua.
