12. THE DARK ENERGY

Danman stood tall, his energy sword flashing with energy as he faced Lyra's dark and terrifying attack. The air seemed to ripple and distort as the energy washed over him, threatening to consume him whole.

But Danman was not one to back down from a challenge. With a fierce cry, he raised his energy sword and charged forward, meeting Lyra's attack head-on.

The two energies clashed in a spectacular display of light and sound, sending shockwaves through the warehouse. Danman felt his energy sword vibrating in his hand, the power of the attack threatening to overwhelm him.

As the battle raged on, Danman began to feel a strange sensation. It was as if Lyra's dark energy was trying to connect with him, to draw him into its depths. He could feel it tugging at his mind, trying to break down his defenses.

But Danman refused to give in. With a surge of determination, he poured more energy into his sword, meeting Lyra's attack with a fierce and unyielding resolve.

The warehouse around them began to deteriorate, the walls cracking and crumbling as the two energies clashed. Danman stumbled backward, his footwork uneven as he struggled to keep up with Lyra's relentless attack.

But he refused to yield. With a fierce cry, he launched a counterattack, his energy sword flashing with energy as he struck at Lyra with all his might.

Lyra stumbled backward, her eyes widening in surprise as Danman's attack caught her off guard. For a moment, the two combatants stood frozen, their energies locked in a fierce and unyielding stalemate.

Then, in an instant, the stalemate was broken. Lyra's dark energy surged forward, threatening to overwhelm Danman once and for all. But Danman was ready. With a fierce cry, he summoned all his remaining energy and launched a final, desperate attack.

The two energies clashed in a spectacular display of light and sound, sending shockwaves through the warehouse. Danman felt his energy sword vibrating in his hand, the power of the attack threatening to overwhelm him.

As the dust settled, Danman stood tall, his chest heaving with exhaustion. Lyra lay at his feet, her dark energy dissipating into nothingness.

But as Danman looked down at Lyra's defeated form, he couldn't shake the feeling that the battle was far from over. Lyra's dark energy still lingered in the air, waiting to strike.

And then, in an instant, everything went black.
