CHAPTER 7: BATTLE AT THE FORGE

The air was electric as Vex, Mike, and Luna clashed in a frenzy of claws and magic. Vex, with his dark werewolf form, snarled and lunged at Mike, who had transformed into his own werewolf form, mirroring Luna's abilities. The two werewolves collided, their razor-sharp claws flashing in the dim light of the forge.

Luna joined the fray, her own werewolf form a blur of silver fur and glowing eyes. She darted between Mike and Vex, her claws swiping at Vex's dark form. Vex retaliated with a wave of dark magic, but Mike countered with a blast of his own magic, learned from his time with the ancient tomes.

The three combatants exchanged blows, their movements lightning-fast. Vex's dark magic swirled around him, but Mike and Luna's combined strength and magic prowess kept him at bay. Mike's werewolf form allowed him to dodge Vex's attacks with ease, while Luna's agility and quick reflexes let her land precise strikes.

As the battle raged on, the forge around them began to tremble. Sparks flew as the very fabric of reality seemed to bend under the force of their magic and claws. In a final, desperate bid to turn the tide, Vex unleashed a devastating blast of dark magic. Mike and Luna stood firm, their bond and determination fueling their combined strength.

Vex snarled, his dark werewolf form snapping its jaws at Mike. "You fools! You think you can defeat me? I have the power of GENEESSIS on my side!"

Mike countered with a swipe of his own claw, his werewolf form mirroring Vex's. "We'll never let you misuse that power, Vex! And we'll stop GENEESSIS's evil plans too!"

Luna darted between them, her silver fur flashing. "You're not worthy of wielding that power, Vex! You're just a pawn in GENEESSIS's game!"

Vex's eyes flashed with anger. "You think you can stop me? I have the master's favor!"

Mike growled, his werewolf form surging forward. "We'll stop you, Vex. And we'll take down GENEESSIS with you!"

With a fierce cry, Mike and Luna struck Vex down, banishing the dark magic from his body. As Vex lay defeated, Mike stood over him, his eyes blazing with determination. "We'll stop GENEESSIS, no matter what it takes."

Luna nodded in agreement. "We'll protect our world from destruction."

Vex let out a sharp laugh. "You never belonged to that world Luna you have always been part of hell and always will be, no amount of strength you use will break you free, Destiny can't only be delayed and not denied." He then laughed again in a malice way. He glared up at them, his eyes still filled with malice. "You'll never win... GENEESSIS will triumph..."

........

As Vex lay defeated, Mike and Luna approached him cautiously. "It's over, Vex," Mike said, his voice firm. "You've lost."

Vex glared up at them, his eyes still filled with malice. "You may have won this battle," he snarled, "but GENEESSIS will still triumph. And I'll make sure you pay for defeating me!"

Suddenly, Vex's body began to glow with an eerie light. Mike and Luna stepped back, alarmed. "What's happening?" Luna asked, her voice tense.

"I don't know," Mike replied, his eyes fixed on Vex, "but I don't like it!"

The light grew brighter, and Vex's body began to transform. His limbs stretched and twisted, his skin turning a dark, scaly gray. His eyes glowed red, and his hair grew long and wild.

"By the ancients," Luna breathed, "he's becoming a dark spawn!"

Mike's eyes widened in shock. "What's a dark spawn?"

Luna's expression turned grave. "A dark spawn is a creature born from darkness and twisted magic. They're powerful, dangerous, and almost impossible to kill."

Mike's brow furrowed. "And Vex just became one?"

Luna nodded. "Yes, GENEESSIS must have given him a dark transformation. Now he's a monster, driven by a hunger for destruction and chaos."

Mike's grip on his claw tightened. "We need to stop him, Luna. We can't let him harm innocent lives. But first, we need to get out of here. We still need to find Helo to escape this place."

Luna's eyes scanned their surroundings, her voice urgent. "We have to move fast. Vex will be even more powerful now, and GENEESSIS will stop at nothing to keep us trapped in this realm. Let's find Helo and get out of here before it's too late!"

Mike nodded, his eyes scanning the hellish landscape. "Stay close, Luna. We don't know what other dangers are lurking in the shadows."

They immediately took off before vex could complete his transformation and they ran into the forge where the helo is and the door shut with a loud click behind them.
