The battle continued, but the tide began to turn in favor of Team Water, as a flood of mercy and power flowed from Yasser. His strikes became more precise and powerful, forcing Team Fire to retreat further and further. Adnan, who had been fiercely resisting, used many of his fiery sparks to defend his friends, as if he were fighting for his life. His sparks flew in every direction, trying to push back Team Water, but he could feel exhaustion creeping in with every spark he unleashed.
"Adnan is still resisting, but he looks exhausted," observed Qusay. "Will he be able to withstand this new power Yasser has?"
"Don't give up!" shouted Adnan, trying to gather his remaining strength. But the blows he received from Team Water were harsh, especially after Yasser began using the new water current he had discovered. One powerful strike hit Adnan in the chest, causing him to stagger backward, but he quickly regained his balance, determined to keep fighting. His face reflected defiance and determination, as if he knew this battle was a test of his strength and will.
"Adnan looks like he's fighting for his life," whispered Qusay. "But Yasser seems to hold all the cards now. Is this the end?"
The pressure was immense, and Team Water was growing stronger thanks to the new energy Yasser had discovered. The battle, which had started with a balance between the two teams, was now tipping in favor of Team Water, as they began to control the square with their new tactics and renewed strength.
"The battle is nearing its end," observed Qusay. "But Adnan is still resisting. Will there be a surprise in the end?"
Adnan charged fiercely toward Yasser, the leader of the Flood of Mercy, defying anyone who tried to stand in his way. His fiery sparks flew in every direction, either burning his opponents' faces directly or setting their clothes on fire, forcing many members of Team Water to retreat in fear of burns. His steps were quick and decisive, as if he knew this was the decisive moment to prove his strength.
"Adnan looks like he knows this is his last chance," observed Qusay. "But Yasser seems ready for anything. Who will win in the end?"
After overcoming every obstacle, Adnan finally reached Yasser. In a flash, he reached out and grabbed Yasser's shirt tightly, trying to bring him down. But before he could execute his plan, a yellow water wave shot out from Yasser's hand, hitting Adnan directly in the face. The wave was so powerful that it blinded him momentarily, causing him to stagger backward as he tried to regain his balance.
"That wave was powerful!" shouted Qusay as he saw Adnan stagger. "But Adnan is still standing. This boy has an iron will. Will he be able to keep going?"
At that critical moment, Yasser seized the opportunity. Quickly, he kicked Adnan hard in the sensitive area between his legs. The kick was so strong and painful that Adnan immediately fell to the ground, clutching his injury in pain. "Ah!" screamed Adnan, writhing in agony. "That's so vile! How could you try to destroy my future?!" His words were filled with pain and anger, as he felt humiliated by this harsh blow.
"That was a brutal hit," whispered Qusay. "But it shows that Yasser knows how to seize opportunities. The battle might be nearing its end."
Yasser, standing over Adnan, looked down at him coldly. "This is a battle, Adnan. There's no room for mercy here. If you want to win, you have to be ready to face the consequences." His words were sharp, reflecting the reality of the increasingly fierce battle.
"The battle is over," thought Qusay as he saw Adnan fall. "But the destruction left behind will remain for a long time."
Just as Team Water began to believe the battle had been decided in their favor, and smiles started to appear on their faces as Team Fire retreated, something unexpected happened. Suddenly, Adnan rose again, as if drawing strength from the scorched earth. His eyes glowed with a dark red hue, as if a new fire had ignited within him.
"Not yet!" Adnan shouted in a hoarse voice, slowly raising his hand as if preparing to unleash something more powerful than a mere spark. "The battle won't end this easily!"
"Oh my God!" shouted Qusay from his position in the air, watching energy gather in Adnan's hand. "This isn't just an ordinary glow... this is an evolution of his power! Adnan has reached the second stage of his fire ability!"
The glow gathering in Adnan's hand was completely different from the sparks he had been unleashing before. It was denser, brighter, and more deadly. It looked like a small ball of the sun, writhing and contracting between his fingers, waiting for the right moment to be released.
"Yasser, watch out!" shouted Qusay, but his voice wouldn't reach them as his ability didn't allow it.
With a quick and precise motion, Adnan launched the glow toward Yasser. The throw was perfect, and the glow headed straight for Yasser's neck at an astonishing speed. The glow was so bright that it blinded everyone momentarily, like a small explosion of light and heat.
"This will finish him!" Qusay thought in panic. "Yasser won't be able to dodge this!"
But before the glow could reach its target, another force intervened. Suddenly, Officer Abbas emerged from the debris and smoke, as if appearing out of nowhere. In a flash, he raised his right hand, and in an instant, his arm transformed into a mass of gleaming metal, like a shield of shimmering scrap. Officer Abbas's ability, the power of metal, was revealed for the first time in this battle.
"Enough!" Officer Abbas shouted loudly, as the glow collided with his metallic arm. "This is enough, you troublemakers!"
But the glow was too powerful. Even Officer Abbas's metallic arm couldn't fully block the attack. The glow pierced through the metallic arm, splitting it in two in a flash of light and heat. The sound of metal scraping was so loud that it cracked the air, while shards of metal flew in every direction.
"Oh my God!" shouted Qusay, watching the metallic arm split in two. "The glow pierced through the metal! This power... is unimaginable!"
Officer Abbas staggered slightly from the shock but remained standing. His metallic arm, which had gleamed with a silver hue, began to disintegrate and turn into metallic dust, as if melting into the air. As the metallic arm disappeared, so did Officer Abbas's ability, leaving his human arm bare and severely burned.
"That's enough!" Officer Abbas shouted again, looking at his burned arm. "You're destroying everything around you, and you think that's acceptable?"
His words echoed in the air as everyone looked at him in silence, like scolded children. Even Yasser, who had been on the verge of serious injury, began to look as if he felt guilty.
"This officer sacrificed his arm to save Yasser," observed Qusay, watching Officer Abbas trying to stop the bleeding in his arm. "But the question now is: Will he really be able to stop this war, or will the animosity between the teams continue in secret?"
"Go home!" ordered Officer Abbas, pointing with his uninjured hand toward the narrow alleys. "And if I hear about any more fights, I won't hesitate to arrest everyone!"
The two teams began to disperse slowly, each carrying the scars of the battle. Adnan was still glaring at Yasser with eyes full of anger, but he didn't dare challenge Officer Abbas after seeing what the glow had done to his arm. Yasser, on the other hand, began to look as if he was reflecting on everything that had happened, as if he suddenly realized the gravity of the situation.
"The battle is over, but the destruction left behind will remain for a long time," thought Qusay as he watched the teams walk away. "Who will be the real winner in the end? Fire or water? Or is everyone a loser in this battle?"
As Officer Abbas watched the teams leave, Qusay remained floating in the air, contemplating everything that had happened. "This day was full of lessons," he whispered to himself. "But the bigger question is: Will they learn from them?"
But Qusay wasn't ready to end his mission yet. He decided to follow Officer Abbas closely, wondering: "Why did Abbas intervene like that? And what is he hiding behind this sudden intervention?"
Officer Abbas walked with heavy steps, his burned arm still bleeding slightly, but he was determined to reach his headquarters. He entered the gloomy government building, where the high walls and narrow windows reflected the secretive nature of the work inside. Abbas approached his commander's office, the high-ranking officer "Salim," who was sitting behind a massive desk, flipping through numerous papers.
Qusay, who was floating behind Abbas, decided to enter the office unnoticed. He passed easily through the wall, like a shadow no one could see. He stood in a corner of the room, listening intently to every word.
"I'm back," Abbas said in a tired tone. "The battle was fierce, but I managed to stop it before it turned into a disaster."
Officer Salim looked up, his sharp gaze piercing through Abbas. "And the damages?" he asked coldly.
"Major destruction in the square, multiple injuries on both sides," Abbas replied. "But more importantly, I saw something concerning. Adnan, one of Team Fire's members, is evolving his power. He's reached a new, more dangerous stage."
Salim nodded, as if he had expected this. "This is what we feared. These teenagers possess powers they don't know how to control. If we leave things as they are, the city could turn into a war zone."
Abbas pulled out a thick file from under his arm and placed it on the desk. "These are the names that need reviewing. It's time to open the rehabilitation file."
Salim opened the file and began flipping through the pages, while Qusay moved closer to see the names. "Who are these people?" Qusay wondered to himself. "And what does this rehabilitation file mean?"
Salim looked at Abbas seriously. "This list includes the most dangerous names. If we don't act now, we could lose control completely."
Abbas nodded. "Yes, we need to start immediately. These teenagers need rehabilitation before they destroy themselves and the city."
Salim took a red pen and began marking some names. "These are the priorities: Adnan, Yasser, Khaled, Ali, Rami, Sami, Ziad. They're the most dangerous, and we need to start with them."
