Council

In the dimly lit basement of an abandoned building, Danny and his allies gathered around a makeshift table covered with maps and notes. Each of them brought valuable information about Axel's operations, gathered through their connections and past experiences.

"We need to hit them where it hurts," Marcus said, his voice a low rumble. "Their main base is heavily fortified, but if we can take out their key leaders, the rest will fall apart."

"And we have to disable their mind-control technology," Elena added. "That's how they've been keeping their agents loyal."

Danny nodded. "We need to divide our forces. Marcus and Raj, you'll lead the assault on their base. Elena, Lia, and I will handle the leaders and the tech."

Raj cracked his knuckles, a grin spreading across his face. "Time to show these bastards what real power looks like."

The night of the attack, the team moved with precision and stealth. Marcus and Raj led a group of rebels to storm Axel's base, clashing with guards and automated defenses. The sounds of battle echoed through the halls as lightning crackled and fists collided with steel.

Meanwhile, Danny, Lia, and Elena infiltrated the inner sanctum, where Victor and the remaining leaders were coordinating their defense. They moved through the shadows, taking down guards silently until they reached the central control room.

Victor stood there, his back to them, staring at a massive screen displaying the chaos outside. "I knew you'd come back, Atlas," he said without turning around.

"I'm not Atlas anymore," Danny replied, stepping forward. "I'm Danny. And this ends now."

Victor turned, a twisted smile on his face. "You think you can stop us? We are destiny incarnate!"

Elena moved to disable the mind-control device, her fingers flying over the controls. "Keep him busy!" she shouted.

Danny and Lia sprang into action, engaging Victor and his elite guards. The room erupted into a fierce battle, with sparks flying and the ground shaking. Danny mimicked the powers of the gods he had encountered, his movements a blur of lightning and strength.

Victor fought back with a brutal efficiency, but Danny was no longer the confused boy he once was. He was a warrior, forged in the fires of countless dimensions. With a final surge of power, he unleashed a torrent of energy that sent Victor crashing to the floor.

"You're finished," Danny said, standing over him.

Victor coughed, blood trickling from his mouth. "You think this is over? You can't escape destiny."

"Danny, it's done!" Elena called out. "The device is destroyed."

Danny nodded, turning back to Victor. "Destiny is what we make of it."
