Kaito stood quietly in the shadows, watching the chaos he helped create at the gala. The sounds of people panicking filled the air, and he felt a thrill at the disorder they had started.
A sly smile appeared on his face as he thought about their next move. "Let's wait for one of the heroes to show up,"
he muttered, his eyes filled with excitement and a bit of menace. "It'll be amazing to see one of them fail."
He knew the city had its protectors, those who believed they could save everyone from the growing darkness. But Kaito wanted to prove them wrong. When a hero arrived to save the day, he wanted to see the moment they realized they had failed.
With S4 by his side, he imagined the heroes rushing in, full of confidence, only to face the chaos. Watching one of their own be defeated would be a big hit to their spirits.
"Just wait," he whispered, smiling darkly. "This city will realize no one is safe. We'll turn their hope into despair, and it will be unforgettable."
He looked at S4, seeing her excitement about the upcoming showdown. Together, they would enjoy the destruction, and the city would remember this night as the start of their dark rule.
"Let them come," Kaito muttered, his voice soft but full of dark promise. "We'll be ready, and when they arrive, we'll show them exactly what happens when they underestimate us."
As Kaito and S4 got ready for their plan to unfold, something strange happened. The air felt different, like time was moving slower. The lights flickered, and a bright portal appeared in the middle of the gala. Everyone was watching, scared and confused.
From the portal walked a hero, wearing shiny armor with patterns of the stars and constellations—symbols of the god of time. This hero could control time .
Kaito was excited and intrigued. "Finally," he whispered, grinning. "Let the fun begin."
The hero looked around at the chaos, the scared people, and the evidence of violence. "What have you done?" they asked with a strong, commanding voice.
S4, next to Kaito, felt a thrill seeing the hero. "Look, Kaito! They've come to save everyone!" she said, smiling with excitement. "But they have no idea what's coming."
Kaito chuckled darkly. "They think they can just fix everything. How innocent."
The hero got closer, their eyes fixed on Kaito. "You! You caused this mess. You will pay for what you've done!"
Kaito raised his hand, pretending to look innocent. "Crimes? I see it as showing the world's real face. Isn't it a hero's job to fight evil?"
The hero yelled, gathering their energy and starting to use their powers. But S4 was faster. She quickly moved forward, her blade gleaming, ready to face the hero.
"Not so fast!" she cried, aiming for the hero's side. The hero barely had time to react as S4's strike connected, a gasp escaping their lips as they stumbled back.
Kaito watched, a satisfied grin on his face.
When S4's blade hit the hero, the air seemed to buzz with excitement. The hero, who had the power of the constellation god of time, quickly got back on their feet. They used their powers to slow everything around them and created a shield that blocked S4's next move.
S4 smirked, confident and teasing. "Is that all you've got?" she asked, her eyes shining with a daring spark. She moved around the hero, searching for a chance to attack, her steps smooth and strategic. "You really think you can beat me?"
The hero's face became serious. "You're foolish to think you can fight someone who can control time!" With a quick flick, they sent a blast of time energy at S4.
But S4 was nimble. She quickly moved aside, and the energy just barely touched her arm before it exploded against the wall, sending pieces flying all around. "You need to try harder than that!" she shouted, rushing forward again, her dagger aimed directly at the hero.
The hero reacted fast, their hand glowing with a magical light, blocking S4's attack and pushing her back. She stumbled but soon found her footing, grinning wickedly. "Not bad, but I'm just getting started!"
Feeling more determined, S4 charged once more, her blade shining in the low light. The hero fought back with quick strikes, using their control over time to stay ahead. The sounds of swords and magic filled the air, both fighting fiercely to win.
S4 ducked under a swing, rolled to the side, and stood ready with her dagger for another attempt.
The fight between S4 and the hero reached a thrilling high point. The room was filled with crackling energy as both fighters used their most powerful abilities, determined to win this important battle.
S4 gathered all her strength and skill, her voice strong and determined. "You might control time," she said, "but I won't give up!" With swift movement, she activated her special technique, surrounding herself with shadowy energy.
These shadows made her faster and stronger as she charged at the hero with new strength. She became a quick blur, delivering a series of fast blows, trying to find any weakness in the hero's defenses.
But the hero wasn't ready to lose either. They called on all their celestial powers, using the energy of the stars and the power of time. "Do you think shadows can hide you from the light?" they shouted, their voice loud as they released their ultimate move—a bright burst of temporal energy that filled the whole room.
The bright light met S4's shadows, creating a wild storm of power that shook the entire gala. The clash was intense, with both sides giving their all to overpower the other.
At the height of the battle, the room was filled with a bright clash of S4's shadows and the hero's celestial energy. The air was buzzing with power, and it seemed that either could win. But just as S4 seemed to be losing control, Kaito stepped in, strong and firm.
"Enough!" he shouted, his voice sharp and clear. With a quick move, he raised his hand, and a powerful force came from him, stopping both S4 and the hero in their tracks.
S4 felt an invisible grip pull her back just as she was about to strike. The hero, too, was frozen, their powers dimming in front of Kaito's energy.
Kaito looked at them with calm authority. "You're both caught up in your fight and forgot who's really in charge here."
With a simple gesture, he overpowered their energy, taking in their chaotic magic like a big wave. The shadows and light disappeared, leaving them under his control.
"What… how?" the hero gasped, struggling against the unseen force holding them.
Kaito smirked, brimming with confidence. "You underestimate me. I've been in this game long enough to know how to handle both of you."
He turned to S4 with a hint of approval. "You fought well, but remember, we're stronger together than apart. Your focus on winning can cloud your judgment."
S4, still held by Kaito's power, nodded slowly, seeing the truth in his words.
Kaito released his grip slightly, allowing S4 and the hero to regain their footing, though they were still visibly shaken from the overwhelming force he had exerted. "S1! Come here!" he called, his voice echoing through the chaos of the gala.
Moments later, S1 emerged from the shadows, their presence as silent as ever. "You called?" they asked, their eyes scanning the scene, taking in the devastation and the hero's struggle.
"Let's head back to base," Kaito ordered, his tone leaving no room for argument. "The mission is complete, and we've made our point."
As he turned to leave, the hero, fueled by desperation and anger, gathered what little strength they had left. "You won't get away with this!" they shouted, summoning a burst of energy in a last-ditch effort to attack Kaito.
But Kaito simply raised a hand, and with a flick of his wrist, he deflected the hero's strike effortlessly. The energy dissipated against an invisible barrier, sending a shockwave through the room. "You really think you can challenge me after witnessing what I just did?" Kaito replied, a smirk dancing on his lips.
S4 watched in awe as Kaito effortlessly overpowered the hero, who now looked utterly defeated. The hero staggered back, stunned and out of breath, realizing they were no match for Kaito's power.
"Let's go,"
As Kaito, S4, and S1 prepared to leave, the air shimmered with a strange energy. Suddenly, everything went quiet, and time seemed to stop. Kaito realized he was the only one who could move, while everyone else at the gala was frozen like statues.
"What is happening?" Kaito muttered, scanning the room. The hero was stuck mid-motion, face full of anger and determination. S4 was frozen, eyes wide in surprise, and S1 stood still, ready to act.
Then, from the portal that had brought the hero to the gala, a powerful figure appeared. The God of Time entered, glowing with an aura of authority. They wore celestial robes and emanated an aura that commanded respect.
"Kaito," the God of Time said, their voice strong and echoing. "You're walking a risky path. Do you really think you can play with time and destiny without facing consequences?"
Unfazed, Kaito smirked. "You're here to protect your hero? How cute. But I'm not scared. I'm always ahead of the game."
The God of Time gazed at him with sharp eyes. "You can move while others cannot, but remember: Your actions have effects beyond what you see. You've upset the order."
Kaito crossed his arms, looking confident. "And what are you going to do about it? Lecture me? I love chaos."
The deity moved closer, their presence overwhelming. "Chaos might seem powerful, but it is a short-lived illusion."
