SIGNS OF A MIRACLE

In the ruined streets of Pawn City…

The sky burns with the aftershock of the explosion. Smoke curls upward where Basil once hovered—now gone.

Wade drops to his knees, his breath caught in his robotic throat.

"Basil… he's dead…" he whispers, eyes wide in disbelief.

Owlbear rushes over, limping slightly.

"The others inside Oasis—they're trapped! What do we do now?!"

Wade clutches his head, voice cracking.

"It's all over… Without the Nova Crystals, all of this is for nothing…"

Just then, Hank arrives, face grim.

"A Gem Noble…" he mutters. "I thought they were just myths.... We've failed..... We need to retreat to the safe hold. There's no point in continuing this fight without Basil."

Suddenly, a thunderous voice echoes across the ruined city—shaking the air, filled with fury.

"BASIL!!!"

They all turn to the sky as Yunbam's voice roars again, trembling with raw emotion.

"How dare you! How dare you! After everything he's done—for us—he didn't deserve a death like that!"

"I'll avenge him… in the name of honor!"

They look up and see Yunbam—a blazing streak of lightning and spirit—rocketing through the sky, straight toward Kairo Everjade.

Hank fumbles with his comms.

"Yunbam! Stop! Don't do this—you can't win this!"

No response.

Wade slowly rises, shoulders heavy with sorrow and pride.

"This is it… My son won't back down. He's going to fight—until the very end."

Owlbear shakes his head, voice trembling.

"But we can't win against a Gem Noble… That's impossible!"

Hank clenches his rifle.

"If Boa were here… he'd do the same as Yunbam. Even if we escape now, we'll lose everything slowly anyway. Gathering the resources to start another war would take years or even a decades."

He stares toward the sky, toward the blazing trail Yunbam leaves behind.

"Damn it all… Is this really how it ends?"

Yunbam lets out a furious roar as massive spiritual arms erupt from his back, blazing with divine energy. They reach into the sky and summon a giant spiritual sword, glowing with lightning and soul fire.

With a mighty swing of his arms, the spiritual limbs mimic his movement, slamming the colossal blade downward.

The sword crashes onto Kairo Everjade, sending shockwaves through the sky. The sky tremble under the force of Yunbam's rage.

But to Yunbam's shock—Kairo doesn't budge.

Data swirls around him—millions of glowing pixels drawn together into a shimmering barrier. The spiritual sword meets the shield of pure code and halts.

Kairo's voice cuts through the storm.

"I'm impressed. Even a Star from the Star Games can extend their influence this far from Doom Planet."

He raises a hand as more data gathers around him.

"No matter. I've prepared for threats like you."

With a flare of jade-green light, Kairo rockets forward, data pixels spiraling around his body like armor. As he nears Yunbam, his speed slows slightly.

"This pressure…" he mutters. "The energy radiating from this kid… it's intense. My data conversion field is struggling just to keep up."

Yunbam doesn't give him time to adapt.

He thrusts his arms forward—and hundreds of lightning bolts explode from his body, screaming through the air.

Kairo raises both hands, conjuring waves of data pixels to intercept the barrage. One by one, the bolts are absorbed or deflected, lighting up the sky like a storm of fury and code.

Back in the ruins of Pawn City…

Wade and Owlbear stand among the wreckage, having regrouped with the surviving battle robots.

Wade calls out to them, voice resolute.

"Activate the Anti-V beacons! We have to support my son!"

The robots respond immediately. Wade, Owlbear, and the others open their chest plates, unleashing streams of shimmering data meant to disrupt hostile fields.

But—nothing happens.

The data disperses into the air, failing to penetrate Kairo's data field.

"It's not working!" Hank shouts. "His data conversion field is on a completely different level!"

Wade growls, slamming his fist against the wall.

"Then we'll cast another data conversion field!"

Owlbear quickly steps forward, analyzing the remaining energy.

"It's too soon to do another Data conversion field of our own. We need more time before we can stabilize another field strong enough to challenge his!"

Suddenly—an explosion erupts nearby.

Wade, Owlbear, Hank, and the battle-worn robots snap to attention. Dust clouds rise as approaching figures come into view—wounded noble soldiers and damaged noble robots, limping through the ruins.

Hank raises his rifle.

"We've got company."

Emerging from the smoke, Zion leads the injured noble forces, dragging a glowing laser blade behind him. Blood streaks down his face, but his eyes burn with frustration.

"I need to clean up this mess before Kairo finishes his battle," Zion mutters. "If I don't, the punishment will be even worse for making him work harder."

Without another second, both sides clashes, as the war reignites across the broken streets of Pawn City.

Above, in the burning skies near Oasis…

Kairo Everjade floats midair as his green jade mecha armor assembles around him—elegant and overwhelming. The thrusters on his back ignite with explosive force, launching him toward Yunbam, a data spear forming in his grip.

With precision, Kairo hurls the spear.

Yunbam reacts—his chest glows as a spiritual hand erupts outward, catching the spinning spear mid-flight. The force of the spinning weapon grinds against the spiritual palm, causing shockwaves in every direction.

Blood pours from Yunbam's mouth.

"Damn it…" he thinks, teeth gritted. "I'm reaching my limit. This body—it's not built to handle all of Boa's powers. But if I stop now… all of this… will be for nothing. I can't stain Boa's honor any further!"

Kairo smirks coldly and grabs the still-spinning spear in midair. Power surges from his body into the weapon, amplifying it with blinding jade energy.

A massive laser erupts from the spear's core, shattering Yunbam's spiritual arm and blasting Yunbam himself across the sky like a comet of smoke and lightning.

"Nice trick, kid," Kairo calls out. "Spiritual energy's impressive, but when I infuse my own spiritual energy into my tech—it breaks through even your defenses."

As the giant laser continues tearing through the sky, Kairo watches, confident.

But then—the beam distorts.

From within the heart of the blast… a giant spiritual hand reaches outward.

Then—Yunbam's full spiritual body emerges, towering and glowing, tearing through the laser like a divine force. The entire city of Oasis gasps as his form continues to expand.

A colossal spirit titan now looms over Oasis, and inside the giant's head, Yunbam floats, coughing blood—but still standing.

Kairo's eyes narrow.

"He's pushing himself beyond his limits. He knows he might die—but he refuses to stop. He's throwing everything he has into this war… out of pure desperation."

He scoffs.

"So much heart… but sadly, you're facing a Gem Noble."

His own data aura flares violently, shaking the sky.

Meanwhile, in the dark digital realm…

A shadowed digital world flickers with light as the Gem Council observes the battle through a massive digital screen on the digital planet.

The Gem Noble cloaked in maroon shadow speaks first.

"Kairo's going to burn through a lot of Nova resources at this rate."

The council turns toward a glowing section of the dark realm. Light expands, revealing a massive green Nova Core.

Cracks split across its outer surface.

The outer shell explodes 100s of times into glowing data fragments—channeling fresh data energy into Kairo's systems.

Back in the sky…

Data spirals violently as Kairo's mecha grows, matching the size of Yunbam's spiritual giant. The two titans now float face to face—both radiating overwhelming power.

Inside his cockpit, Kairo pushes a few buttons as it forms a colossal data spear onto the Mecha's hands, glowing with ancient coding and spiritual fusion.

Yunbam, barely holding himself together in his giant spiritual form as it clutches his spiritual blade—now thrumming with lightning and resolve.

With a final surge of strength, Yunbam hurls his blade with all his might, the air crackling with divine energy and roaring thunder.

Kairo slams his palm against a lever.

"Let's end this!"

His mecha draws back and throws the giant spear.

The two weapons collide midair.

The impact is cosmic.

The entire section of the planet trembles.

Oasis shakes.

Pawn City quakes.

Even the clouds split apart from the shockwave.

Meanwhile, in the shattered ruins of Pawn City…

Owlbear, battered and bleeding, drags his broken frame across the rubble. Sparks fly from his damaged armor, but he keeps crawling—desperate. Not far ahead, Zion stands tall, one boot pressed firmly on the chest of the defeated Wade, who groans under the pressure.

Above them, the sky rumbles violently from the ongoing clash between giants.

Zion glances up at the chaos, then back down at Wade.

"This war ends here and now."

He raises his laser blade, preparing to deliver the final blow—

Suddenly, laser blasts zip past him. Zion quickly turns and deflects them with precision.

Hank charges in, firing his laser rifle with focused fury. Zion narrows his eyes and closes the distance, deflecting every shot with calculated swings.

He slices Hank's rifle clean in half.

But Hank doesn't hesitate—he pulls a laser sword from his side and meets Zion head-on. The two clash blades across the rubble-strewn streets, each strike sending sparks flying as they struggle to maintain balance amid the violent tremors shaking the city.

Zion scoffs, voice venomous.

"How could a noble like you fall under the influence of slum rats like them? Have you really gone blind chasing Boa's so-called honor?"

Hank growls as their swords grind together.

"If you spend a lifetime in the mines… fighting beside them… then maybe you'll understand what we've all endured!"

Before they can strike again, the ground shakes with terrifying force.

They both instinctively look to the sky—

—just in time to witness Yunbam's colossal lightning-infused spiritual sword cleaving through Kairo's massive data spear.

The divine blade shatters the spear and pierces Kairo's mecha, plunging straight into the cockpit.

A massive explosion detonates in the sky.

Kairo's jade mecha erupts, torn apart by spiritual fire and lightning. His body is sent careening through the clouds, trailing smoke and light, crashing down like a meteor—

He slams into the streets between Zion and Hank, carving a long crater in the ground, splitting the ruined street wide open.

From the impact long crater, Kairo Everjade slowly rises, dusting his jade-green robes as the dust cloud settles. His expression is calm even with wounds, composed—almost bored.

"Miscalculated how much power I'd need," he mutters. "Oh well. Doesn't matter. I endured his full power... and now his body has given out. This mess is over."

He glances toward the sea as the massive spiritual titan fades, dissolving like smoke in the wind. Yunbam's unconscious body plummets from the sky, disappearing beneath the waves.

Suddenly Hank, overwhelmed with grief, charges at Kairo in a blind rage.

But Kairo barely reacts.

A wall of data pixels materializes instantly, shielding him.

A razor-sharp spike of data bursts from the wall—impaling Hank through the stomach. He gasps, drops his blade, and falls backward onto the bloodstained rubble, choking on his breath.

Owlbear, lying near Wade's motionless body, turns his head to see Hank collapse. His voice trembles as tears stream from his broken eyes.

"I'm sorry, Boa… we've failed you… We've… lost…"

Zion walks forward, towering over Owlbear. He sneers and delivers a brutal kick, sending Owlbear sprawling on the street.

Zion raises his laser blade, ready to end it.

But suddenly—

Kairo's data conversion field flickers… and vanishes.

The data pixels surrounding him fall, disintegrating into harmless particles. He freezes in place, brows furrowed.

"What's happening?!" Kairo growls, spinning around.

Zion's comms buzz.

Sunny's voice comes through, alarmed:

"Commander! There's a surge of data pressure—it's erupting from underground!"

They both whip their heads toward the horizon.

And then—

Oasis's grand digital barrier—the same one thought impenetrable—shatters like glass, collapsing in glimmering shards.

Kairo's eyes widen in disbelief.

"Whose data is this?!" he demands. "It's overriding every known data field!"

Zion quickly snaps, "Sunny, who's doing this?!"

Sunny's voice cracks with fear:

"I… I don't know! It's coming from the core of the planet!"

A long silence.

Their eyes lock.

The ocean begins to swirl, spiraling into a glowing vortex. Yunbam's body slowly rises from the depths, suspended in a beam of data light.

And then—another figure emerges.

A digital form, radiant with power.

It's the AI Susan.

Kairo's face hardens.

"Them… the ones from the center of Isha…"

Zion clenches his jaw.

"So they've finally decided to come out… after all this time."

Susan lifts her hand.

With a single graceful motion, streams of golden data shoot out, arcing across the battlefield. The lines snake through the air and touch every Boa ally, Commoner rebel, Pawn rebel, battle robot, Wade, Owlbear, and Hank.

Their bodies shimmer—

—and begin to dissolve into data particles, one by one.

Zion steps forward.

"They're escaping!"

But Kairo holds out an arm.

"There's nothing we can do now."

He nods toward Susan, watching her hover in the sky, glowing like a divine program.

"Can't you see? She's unleashing so much data power… she has nothing left to fight us. She's just finishing what the Boas started."

Susan stares at them—calm, unwavering.

Then she lifts her hand once more.

Yunbam's body—still hovering above the ocean—fades into glowing data as well, vanishing into the wind.

She then turns and rockets upward, tearing through the skies of Oasis like a missile.

She zips through the city, where Duckworm and the remaining battle robots still fight against waves of noble soldiers at the Platinumgrey tower.

Susan releases another pulse of glowing data—

It touches Duckworm and his allies, and one by one, they disintegrate into glowing shards, vanishing into the code.

High above the city, Susan hovers for a moment longer.

"This isn't the last time you'll see me," she says, voice echoing across the sky.

And with that, she fades into pure data, vanishing without a trace, causing panic and confusion through out Oasis. 

Moments later…

Zion, flanked by an army of noble soldiers, marches through the smoke-choked alleys of the slums. The streets are eerily quiet. As they approach Boa's HQ, the nobles tear down the rusted gates.

Zion steps forward and kicks the front door open, sending it crashing into the wall. He strides into the lobby.

Silence.

The building is empty.

At the same time, Kairo Everjade storms through the undercity with his own squadron. His soldiers tear through the remains of Basil's factory, ripping through steel doors and descending the lower levels.

They reach the lab floor—but find nothing. Just cold, empty space and powered-down terminals.

Zion's voice crackles through the comms.

"Nothing over here."

Kairo narrows his eyes, analyzing the emptiness.

"They likely escaped to the restricted zone in the planet's core. But that… digital entity—that wasn't part of their plan."

He looks toward a blank wall glowing faintly with residual data.

"They must have had another fallback point. Sweep the entire slums. I'll comb through the undercity and the commoner cities."

Meanwhile…

Deep beneath the surface of Isha, in the mines, where prisoners toil endlessly beneath flickering lights.

One prisoner stumbles past an old stone wall, and with a clatter, a single rock breaks loose—passing straight through a digital illusion that no one notices.

Behind the illusion lies a hidden tunnel, stretching deeper into the planet than any known passage.

At its end stands a giant sealed gate, and beyond that…

…a hidden sanctuary—a secret town glowing with life and technology. At the far end rises a towering building marked by a glowing sign:

"B&B HQ"

Inside the high-tech facility, within a sealed chamber, a large capsule hisses open. Steam pours out as a sleek robotic figure steps forward.

It slowly emerges, his mechanical limbs whir softly as he looks around, eyes glowing with fresh energy.

A crowd of humanoid robots surrounds him. One of them steps forward.

"Soul conversion complete. Welcome back, Basil Platinumgrey."

Basil's get up and grabs one of them.

"Where is everyone?!" he demands, voice trembling with urgency.

"Tell me—now!"
